Sounds like a slight phase with electric guitar over an acoustic to me.

"Thirty-Three"

A simple song in a country tuning, "Thirty-Three" was the first song the I wrote when I came home from all the Siamese Dream touring. I took three days off, and this was literally the first thing that came out of my hands when I sat down. I was living in my new house for the first time, and this song conveys all of that. The "cha-cha-cha" sound is my drum machine through a flanger, and what you hear is the same one right off the demo because I couldn't remember how to recreate it. The stringly sounds are part Vocoder, plus five slide guitars tuned to one note each to create the chords.

That is completely sick in a totally awsome way.

agreed.

 

ah, to be locked away in a personal studio all day. that'd be the life.

yeah-- a lot of cats 'round here knock Corgan, and I don't really care for anything the man released after Siamese Dream (MC has some good tracks but fails as an album, for me)-- but let's face it, he's incredibly imaginative in the studio.

 

don't even get me started about Siamese Dream. twelve years later it still blows my mind, every time I listen to it... INCREDIBLE guitar layering... geek u.s.a. nearly brings me to tears.
