Mr. Brightside
The cascading hook everyone thinks is delay — and isn't. Dave Keuning recorded it with one rig: a 1970s Ibanez Destroyer straight into a loud Fender Hot Rod DeVille. The shimmer is a moving Dadd9 voicing with the open high E ringing through it, played in standard tuning, pushed to edge-of-breakup. The famous Telecaster / AC30 / dotted-eighth-delay 'recipe' is a myth that contradicts Keuning's own account.
