My 21 year old coworker hasn't heard of Eric Clapton

6. I Think You'll Like This

First, I have developed a solo 12 string acoustic version of Let It Rain, using some pretty jazzy chords. I'm having fun playing it.
Second, that opening riff of the song drove guitar players nuts for years. No matter how they played it, no matter what guitar they used, no matter how they set the amp, they couldn't reproduce that sound.
Then, we found out why. In the studio, the guitars aren't playing chords.
There are 4 separate guitars, each playing a single note of the chord so there is no phase interaction between the stings.
No matter what a single guitar player does, there's no way to eliminate that interaction.
Even with me playing it on acoustic 12 string, it still doesn't sound just like the record. It's literally impossible.
No wonder it made guitarists crazy!
