This song was featured on an episode of Black Mirror. The original by Irma Thomas is definitely great. The full title is "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)."
I sat down and played it from memory, not realizing that I was in 4/4 instead of 6/8. Guess I'm just too country!
Anyway, it's the 2017 Sierra S-10 through a Strymon DIG echo. The reverb on the Milkman Half & Half was turned off. The copedent is my Hybrid D6th (click in my signature if you're curious). Key of A.
Nice! I know it’s a great instrument, and this tune really lets the Sierra speak for itself, but you played it perfectly. As Chet used to say when he would step away from his guitar, “How does it sound now?â€
Production props- that was an excellent camera angle, good natural light, and very good sound. I think of every video posted by pro players here on the forum as both entertainment and educational opportunities. Being able to see the player’s hands and feet clearly and having a clean unsquashed sound really helps. All the topic threads in the world never say as much as a 3 minute demonstration. So thank you for posting!
For me, 6th based universal type tunings feel very natural, and this lovely take shows how well your D6 tuning works. I also love how personal your arrangement is, a nice blend of textures
Fred - it was just my trusty Canon camera on a mic stand. I rarely use it for video, but it works quite well.
Christopher - I'm in the process of writing a paper about how the Hybrid D6th works. It's basically a C6th tuning with E9th pedals and knee levers added. No switching from "6th mode" to "9th mode" - everything is based on the D tuning (halfway between C and E).
It's almost a "universal", but on 10 strings instead of 12. It's missing the 7th and 10th strings of the E9th.
