Ricky was one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.

@@ammazcd So...You say he's ORIGINAL. You say he had a GREAT SOUND. You say he had GREAT RHYTHM. And then you say he's AVERAGE AT BEST?? Where's the logic here? Is it just because he didn't shred sick solos?

Yeah, agreed. Ricky definitely had a very original style. I think what made this band so great was pure chemistry between it's members. RIP Ricky Wilson.

This makes more sense if you realize he was trying to play a mix of rhythm and lead at the same time. This is one of the simpler tunes, listen to the kaleidoscope that is 53 Miles West of Venus; he stuck harmonics in it even if they're hard to hear.

I hated this band so much.... I bought a used XF ford falcon and the bloody tape player had this album stuck in it and i could not get it out. So for three months all i listen to was this album. It grew on me and i have agonized on how to play these songs on guitar for years since. I knew Ricky had weird tunings and i read somewhere that he never tuned the same for gigs.... True or not he was like so many others - an under rated guitarist. So i thank you for this video, it helped and explained a lot. cheers

Ricky had a few different tunings. BADxG#C# (Party Out of Bounds, Quiche Lorraine) CFxxFF (as shown here, in Rock Lobster and Runnin' Around) DADxBB (The most common one) EBDxBB (Private Idaho) There are a few more that are used for songs off Mesopotamia and Whammy. I don't know about Bouncing Off the Satellites.

It's tuned in DADxBB (a bit higher than the standard 440 Hz) and there's only one guitar. Played on a set of .13s, and with a thick guitar pick, on a Mosrite guitar with a scale length of 24.5" (I typed that right; it's 24.5", not 24.75".) Strum hard, but there _is_ a limit to how hard you strum.

@101Volts

The only thing I can think of is that he tuned the guitar to CFxxFF (no strings in the middle) and used _vastly_ different strings. I'm not sure of each string he used but he had to at least use a .100 and a .080 for the lowest two though it might be .105 and .085 (these are all bass strings,) he liked to have the strings tight. And yes, you can do that on a regular guitar if you modify it a little and grind the strings down past the nut to fit in the tuners. What you can't do so well is use a stock bridge in some situations, not all saddles will accommodate and even those that do might not hold the string well enough; Ricky often hit the strings HARD (not in this song, though) so the string needs to be in a deep enough saddle.

My statement above is half wrong; he did use the bass strings for the same tuning live, but the album version's most likely just a set of 13s.
