I'm not sure I've ever seen a tab for The Voyager, though maybe you'll find that someone here is hiding one somewhere! You might find it helpful to download the MIDI file and slow it down to make it a bit easier to work out what the notes are. It might be quite a lot of work to figure it out, but good practice! You might also want to try out the backing track made by Bleat. To sound more like Mike...it depends which of his sounds you want to get, really. You could probably get close to his 80s distorted sound by plugging your BD2 into an amp that's already lightly overdriven. I personally feel that the way you play it is more important than the exact sound, as he's used all sorts of different pieces of equipment over the years, sometimes only leading to a quite subtle change in his sound. There's some more discussion on this subject in Nicolas's Oldfield guitar sound topic. You can get something like a lot of his clean sounds by plugging the guitar direct into a mixing desk/computer/PA with a DI box. He normally uses quite heavy compression for that. Let us know which kind of sound you're aiming for and what equipment you've tried using already and I'm sure we can help more! Back to top
