Feedback in prog?

I'm fairly certain there must be, Fripp certainly experimented a lot with feedback, although not in a prog context. I'm sure if you delve through enough RIO or prog metal you'll find an example but I can't off the top of my head.

What kind of feedback do you mean? If you're talking strictly about delay feedback (which I'm sure you're not) then every artist who uses delay (about every frickin prog artist, lol) uses feedback. I personally do all the time - you just set the amount of times you want it to delay, basically.

 

But just standard reverb creates feedback, so again, any artists who use reverb are creating a feedback loop in a way. Or basically reverb uses feedback just like delay does. Fripp definately uses it, you can hear it in the one theme at the end of Moonchild.

I'll ask Maani if I can upload some stuff to the site, maybe teach a little about the sounds of prog. It would actually be really cool if this site got away with more hard core website aspects because I KNOW there are other prog musicians on this site who would love to share their sounds and their teachings about prog. I sure would!

definetly Mars Volta.

Well, ever listened to Nirvana's Radio Friendly Unit Shifter? When I say feedback I also think about my cousin's way of just propping the guitar next to the amp, thus creating massive distortion through the overriding of the highest frequency the guitar generates, because of the magnetic fields. I simply try to play with the chords by pulling them above to the bridge, even though I don't actually play guitar.
