EFX-02 Introduction to Slapback Delay

About this lesson

Delay is an essential effect for guitarists and a great way to understand how to use delay is to use a slapback delay. The slapback delay only repeats a signal once which is very useful for interesting rhythmic or harmonic effects. The exercises in this lesson plan will teach your student how to think about the delay's timing and to use it properly. Instead of randomly setting the delay, your student will learn to control the timing and mix and use it in creative ways.
