singtall veteran member Registered: 09/06/10 Posts: 3540 Loc: Louisiana	https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5622773/Adrian%20Belew%20lead.tfx this is just a basic start. you will need a harmonizer, a strat, and some feedback from standing close to a speaker to work this lead out. you will also need to set up a CC pedal to control the reverb mix, he gets more mix wetness and the end of some licks. if you are not familiar with his technique, you need to learn his elephant talk for a start: http://www.guitarsoundeffects.com/adrian-belew-elephant-talk watch this video, it shows him in his prime doing all kinds of sounds/noises: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLQhLcKyGs8
