saryu Posted January 30, 2015 This is me playing the riff to Nobody's Fault but Mine (with many mistakes - it was a few years ago). Nobody's Fault But Mine See if you can guess what instrument it is. The answer will surprise you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stairway is NOT stolen Posted January 30, 2015 I'm thinking some sort of Synth, but I honestly can't tell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woz70 Posted January 30, 2015 This is me playing the riff to Nobody's Fault but Mine (with many mistakes - it was a few years ago). Nobody's Fault But Mine See if you can guess what instrument it is. The answer will surprise you! Difficult to tell because of the distortion. It's obviously a fretted stringed instrument, and from the sound of it there are two strings tuned at octaves per course (unless there's some sort of octave doubling effect - again I can't tell. The recording is not good!). Could be something in the bouzouki family I suppose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osoz Posted January 30, 2015 I listened to this earlier but think I have it now, It's definitely a stringed instrument - so assuming it isn't some antique/obscure guitar I'm thinking something like a tenor ukulele? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done! It's a tenor 8-string ukulele, run through a multi-effects pedal and guitar amplifier. Woz70 was right about the double courses; the ukulele is tuned eE aA C#C# F#F# Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osoz Posted January 31, 2015 The octaves had me stumped, wondered if the octave was in the effects, I get it now! I could sort of hear the shorter string length, not technical enough to know what to call it but I've heard a few guitar tunes done on the ukulele so know the sound. This has been a favourite of mine for a while: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
