Improvising to a Pink Floyd BT - Marooned

[MichaelKatzengreis74]

Thats REALLY awesome! Well done =0)

[liliililliiililillli]

awesome!

with best wishes from russia!

[cpage07]

sounds great

[58LP]

very nice! playing/tones/phrasing

[Dust0fNation]

how you manage to stay in time man? i mean how you know what parts coming next? if you dont rly hear the drums?

[CedricIII]

@Dust0fNation I don't really know, or... I haven't thought about that, but I think I keep my playing pretty "free" so that it'll fit in when the next chord comes in. That is tone wise... but you asked about staying in time, but that's pretty much the same thing. I don't really play in time, more freely if you ask me. It's a feeling you develope after many years of practicing. My approach is like "expect the unexpected" so you learn how to stretch the timing. Hard to explain...

[MetallicaFan4ever5]

@CedricIII I have to download this on mp3 sorry mate, but i love this improv. YOU ARE AWESOME!

[CedricIII]

@MetallicaFan4ever5 You can do whatever you want with it. I'm not happy with the perfomance and haven't listened to it since I uploaded it... still working on my chops and my expectations are that you'll be blown away when I come back. But until then - stay tuned! Love my fans! Cheers!

[wixxs]

That was amazing...I really enjoyed it at 4 min into it, that was killer...

[29young]

Nice! Great interpretation.

[neocroth]

I really like your sound from 4:30 to 4:56, I really like the "crunchyness" of your tone there - it's nicely distorted, but you still can hear that it's a Strat - really great!

[kiddoen1]

Amazing! love it!

[TheRealRayJ]

Damn, that was hot. Very tasteful playing.

[ginkamble]

Wow, you call that crappy playing?

I guess I just have to burn my guitar then...

I really liked what I was hearing, honestly!

[CedricIII]

@ginkamble Thanks man! Well, there are a couple of bends that ain't quite in pitch... couldn't hear the backing track enough... But you can't win'em all... ;)

[garylad71]

Hi, which fcb do you use? I want a midiverb4 at the end of my guitar chain, and i only need a midi controller to change the presets on the midiverb 4 to free my hands up.

Thanks

Gary

[CedricIII]

@garylad71 Hey Gary. Think it was a FCB1010.

[garylad71]

@CedricIII Thanks a lot dude, great playing by the way.

[bloodest66]

Wish I could be so good guitar player someday...

[gsk1LLz]

really creative.. nice melody

[oswinta]

awesome! what scales are you playing from 3:29 to 3:39?...sounds great

[bluedream0808]

@oswinta

Aside from maybe a passing note or two at the most, he is in the natural minor.

[bluedream0808]

@oswinta

The first fast run: natural minor

the 2nd sequence of phrases: blues scale/natural minor.

[jonanpe]

Impresionante, muy bueno.

[CedricIII]

@jonanpe Muchas gracias!

[3121029]

Wow!!!!  Very impressive!

[pressaoneutra]

I'm from Brazil. Great playing!

Best regards.

[warmink1973]

Nice playing. Very good indeed...

Compliments!

Cheers,

Dimi

[freenamdar]

sweet playing. very nice.

[CedricIII]

@freenamdar

Thanks! :)

[freenamdar]

@CedricIII

just curious, what pickups are there on the guitar?

[CedricIII]

@freenamdar

In this video the guitar was equipped with a set of EMG SA pickups.

[freenamdar]

@CedricIII

sry if i ask too many questions! but i really like the way u use the volume knob, do you know what the knob is? 250k, 500k, 50k , ... ?

[CedricIII]

@freenamdar No problem. Since it's EMG's there is a 25K as a volume pot. Most active system uses the same value. Of course you could try other values too, but it will affect the treble output. Like if you use a 250K pot with humbuckers, then they are gonna get much more treble than if you would use the standard 500K pot.

If that's what you want, then it's ok... fun to experiment with.

You can also experiment with different components to change the resistance through the pot.

[freenamdar]

@CedricIII

Thanks!

[dickdog1]

I hate guys who jam, to backing tracks.

[vktrs666]

nice! are you using standard modes or adding something else "dominant etc???" also are you demoing the amp at 60watt or 100?

cheers from oakland

[varone6t9]

would it be pointless to add a mxr distorion plus on top of a ocd? i might get a distorion plus to add to my chain of pedals and use my ocd as a boost. yet i dont know..what do you think

[CedricIII]

I have no idea, sometimes pedals work perfectly togehter and sometimes they don't. You'll have to try it for yourself. Are you using the pedals in front of a clean amp. I never use my OCD with a clean sound, think it works better like a boost... I use it all the time with my Marshall JVM and the crunch channel - killer tone!

[varone6t9]

im using it for a vox ac15. still i dont get the nice sustaining sound im wanting

[frysauceband]

sweet tone man... you mind sharing what you're using for the overdrive? Is it just the amp? Sounds like you are using a compressor. If so, which one? Also, what pickups in the guitar? Looks like a lot of fun, makes me want to jam on this song now!

[CedricIII]

Please, read the description about the amp/od-pedal.

The pickups are EMG SA.

[MAX5WM]

Sounds great, but could use a little more echo.

[Kdoza]

dude, everytime i watch your videos when you jam with a BT, you inspire me to become a great guitar player. not to sound wierd or anything but you really do. i hope to be half as good as you are one day. thanks bro!

[ae186k]

Dude your style and versatility are awesome.

[CedricIII]

Thanks dude! :D

[fawadrizvi]

Hey CedricIII i'm so glad to find you on youtube man..God bless you...inspirational stuff!

[CedricIII]

Cool! Thanks!

Rock on!

[AzizRaeesi]

good improvising!

[chordazone]

right on bro awsome.......i think david would give you copy rights...lol....

[rogwall]

can you tell which IONIAN mode is it on please?

I will try improvising on it.

[CedricIII]

Ionian? I have no idea what you are talking about... sorry... :/

[UnchainTheNight1]

it isnt in ionian mode its in aeolian, if you know what the modes are then you shoul be able to find out what key its in

[rogwall]

@UnchainTheNight1 which Aeolian? G Aeolian?

[cjmrcjmr]

amazing wow.......great feel...loved it.....ALL:D

[CedricIII]

Thank U!!

[joshkosh35]

Yah know I don't really comment on people's videos that much but I am very impressed...with ALL your videos. Please don't quit like you were mentioning in another video. Great Talent! Thanks for the videos

[CedricIII]

No, I won't quit - promise! But sometimes when life won't go your way, things feel hopeless you know... but I see things clearer now. You can't be too old for playing the guitar. Just look at Jeff Beck... ;)

Thank you very much, take care!

[strongbad73]

where do u get all ur backing tracks from?

[CedricIII]

From everywhere, but this one is from gilmourish(dot)com... but they have a lot of bt's at guitarbt(dot)com... try that!

[strongbad73]

thanks!

[bengativo6]

whoa thats better .i mean a mans guitar.that gaylo kitty is just a pure toy.great skills ..i must say you are a good guitar player.

[CedricIII]

Thanks, you could be too, if you'd practice on your guitar instead of being rude on the internet... ;)

Now go watch the Säkkijärven Polkka little boy!

[Ranzer2007]

awesome... You are really good... Good luck from Portugal...:D

[peelopuu]

Why is this guitar two guitars in one? I cant find the answer from the web.

[CedricIII]

Hello peelopuu. The middle tone knob is a rotary A/B switch witch in position A makes the 5-way switch work as on a regular strat with those in between sounds.

In the B position, you will get different sounds.

1) Bridge pickup

2) Neck and Middle with a capacitor

3) Bridge and Neck pickup

4) Bridge, Middle and Neck pickup with capacitor.

Also good to know is that the bridge pickup is a tele-voiced pickup with a steel "tone plate" under the pickguard. It's amazing piece of wood!

[peelopuu]

Wow. It sounds so verstile and easy to use. Easier than VG Strat.

[CedricIII]

Well, I wouldn't know cause I never tried the VG, but the JD strat sounds really close to a tele, and it's for real, no digital stuff! Too bad there were less then 500 made. Great stuff, really fat neck, and lightweight!

[donottawaguitar]

mezmerizing

[brothertim]

beautiful guitar. good song

[dimaflour]

Nice

[bigrock007]

I've got the Head version of this amp(it's my fathers amp) . Did I understand you right? I have to turn up the volume on channel 1 + on ch. 2 the gain too? And the bass,mid,and treble knobs also?

I always was wondering about this muddy Overdrive sound because it sounds like shit to my ears. So thank you very much.

And by the way awesome sound!! Can you give me the settings of you're amp?

[CedricIII]

Great! Yeah, like a wrote in the info, you'll have to turn up the volume 1 on channel one (not the master 1) to get the right amount of gain on the second channel (which you have to have a high setting on the volume 2 too).

The Master 1 is what determine what volume you can get on Master 2, so you'll have to try what suits your needs the most.

[CedricIII]

The way I have my amp set is Volume 1 at 2 o'clock (if you have it too high you'll not be able to get a good claen sound), volume 2 fully up, B, M and T is all the way up, and depending on which volume i run the amp on (home or in the rehearsal) i turn the Presence down a bit at higher volume because it gets a little too shrill otherwise...

I use a footswitch to engage the parametric EQ as a solo volume!

Hope this helps!

Take care!

/F

[bigrock007]

I don't understand why the 1st and 2nd Channel is wired together.

Now I just have to find a why to mic my amp.

By The Way I'm 16 and from Germany that's why I asked you how this all works.

[CedricIII]

I don't understand that either, but there's nothing I can do about it, so...

There are alot of things you can't understand about this amp, but with an overdrive on both channels it can be both a blues and a metal monster. Not quite what you could expect from reading the reviews from Harmony Central, it is?

Cheers!

[bigrock007]

I never would use this amp as a Metal monster amp but I need some good Rock sounds. For me a real Metal amp is the JCM 800,Diezel or a Mesa/Boogie amp. But I have to work on getting the best tone out of it. the clean channel is really great.

[CedricIII]

Don't forget to try out an overdrive in front of the channel 2. It makes the whole difference you know!

Even though it's built like a Mesa it sounds more lika a Marshall...

Yeah, the clean channel is great, but the problem with this amp is that getting both good clean sounds and "brown" sounds are impossible due to the stupid eq section.

Anyway, good luck and thanks for watching!

/ drunk

[bigrock007]

I like the second EQ section wich is switchable with a footswitch.

Thank you and no Problem.

Keep rockin

[svenzia]

Feeling indeed. Top class!

[j0rdanb0yle]

dude u r amazing..i wish to obtain such skill as u present

[CedricIII]

Thanks!

[speedburnervideo]

nice tone, love strats buddy, is that a tube amp?

[CedricIII]

Thanks! Yeah, but you can run it as a solid state too. Built in the early 80's, loud as hell... A friend had a look at the inside of the amp and said it was a Mesa ripoff.

I don't play this amp so much, but I have used it with one of my bands and it rocks, no problem keeping up with the drummer.. only negative is that it lacks gain plus it's not enough bass in it, but I'm thinkin of getting it modded so it suits my needs!

Take care!

/ Fredric

[Fr3etd4nc3r]

SO emotional, I just love the thing you did with that tone man. Love it

Addie

[Xevidan]

Love it.

So filled with emotion. Beautiful!

[wiebehayes]

well done !

[PepinoMichoacan]

Very nice violin effect! Great job, to be honest I thought about being disappointed to see someone jamming on pink floyd backing track but that was hell better than I expected, you're a true guitar master

[CedricIII]

Thanks man! ♫

[doolbro]

is that JOe Bonamassa sounding violin trick done with the volume knob?

[CedricIII]

Well, it's not like he invented it or so... I don't even think I have heard Joe doing the volume knob trick.

First time I heard it was on Yngwie's first solo album. Think that is where I got it from.

[teegotime]

How do you get these jam tracks?

[CedricIII]

gilmourish(dot)com

[teegotime]

Thanks man!

[CedricIII]

No problemo... ;)

[IDM112]

Very good stuff. Keep up the awesome playing!

[CedricIII]

Thanks, I'll try!

[fergot02]

Hi CedricIII, nice video. I have the same amp but in pretty bad shape, the original speaker has been changed for a cheaper one. Can you make a review of the amp to know how must sound both channels?

[Piledriver72]

Nice improvisation it sounds just like gilmour! Keep rocking!

[CedricIII]

Thanks! I will! Take care!

[Rufko]

Nice done....love it!!!

[opethian23]

Super!

[johanaavit]

Hallå Cedric.. Jævli bra. Hvor er bärsen? :)

[surfboy7]

r u a pro or what? :)

[CedricIII]

No, I'm not, but I did gigs 3-4 times a week a couple of years ago, then I got kids and built a house and that sort of stuff. YT is for me a way to keep the playing alive.

Mostly I play because it's fun, and I hope that it shines through the computer screen! :)

[12121212chris]

im trying to find a good pedal that can give me many many different sounds up to a 200$ range u know any good ones?

[GrizAdams111]

Sans amp gt 2 or one of the line 6 pods.

[Reaper1984]

Lite väl mycket sura bends (pekfinger!)

Men i övrigt så hör man ju vem det är som lirar.

Kul att höra dig spela på en gitarr som inte låter helt perfekt.

Det var minst sagt annorlunda!

Förengångskull framstår du som männsklig

[CedricIII]

Jo, surbends blev det, men som jag skrivit i infon så har det att göra med att stärkarn var grymt mycket starkare volym på än stereon som jag hörde bt't genom. Hör knappt bakgrunden alltså, därav surbendsen. Men visst, jag har haft bättre dar.

Orkade bara inte backa videokameran, radera det inspelade på Cubase osv. Lathet helt enkelt. Första tagningen fick duga! :D

[alexdldude]

Hi, you're very good !!!

I watched more of your videos and I must ask you one question: Why the hell are you taping all those videos if you could be performing and touring ?:)

Greetings !!!

[johnlad2751]

Nice Forsman. Sounds great!

[TragiskMC]

Forsman ! Beautiful played as usual ! Just love it !

[UKMadsalty]

Beautiful as always! You always have the most brilliant tone and feeling to all of your playing!

x

[woodrn]

Awesome tone and playing! Great job!

[cxd090]

crappy playing? dude I thought you sound fantastic. great job!!!!

[AndreasBusshart]

Fredric that sounds jam up;peace[Freddie]

[kewm]

Yeah.. Great!

[klasek]

Great playing, great sound! That rig and your soulful phrasing go together perfectly!

[SimpleMind1]

Excellent playing and sound as always!

Did you sell your JSX?

[CedricIII]

Thanks!

No, I still have the JSX, it's just don't home at the moment. Can't wait to try the OCD with the JSX! It's gonna be excellent! :)

[GibsonSound]

Yep, I see what you mean, the sound really poured into an expression at 3:25, then I noticed how you went Sharp at 4:05. I didn't

catch that before. It is just absolutely true

that the more I watch, and listen, the more I learn. Thanks buddy...Laser~

[TJARL]

Vad äre för mickar på en sån? Grymt spelat! :)

[CedricIII]

Just nu sitter det 3 st EMG SA i den, men jag har originalmickarna kvar, det är ju en signaturmodell, så det är dumt att kränga iväg mickarna då!

Tack!

[GibsonSound]

Very nice Singing type audio, I like that sound a lot, and the music that you chose to work with also. Looks like I see 3 effects,

2 on top of the amp and 1 on the keyboard.

Possibly I'm seeing a type of control for the amp itself? All sounds "Really Good" to me.

Haven't tried my new pedal yet, I became

exhausted and had to take a long nap. I'm back now though and I will Play Today :-)

OH, do you use a power conditioner to prevent hum? Check back later, have fun...Laser~ 5*

[CedricIII]

Yeah, it kind of sings out the notes that little amp. Especially at around 3:25 when I turn the OCD on together with channel two.. I felt "Yeah" when I recorded it! :D

The white thing on top of the combo is the overdrive unit. What you see on the right side on top of the combo is the amp switch.

3 buttons; Channel 1/2, reverb on/off, parametric EQ on/off.

There is no noice reduction units here, but the EMG's are fantastically quiet!

Thanks! ♫♫

[gottobekiddingme666]

Just amazing! It is something to play good, but it is completely different to sound good, and you always sound really good. 5 stars from me.

[CedricIII]

Oh... thanks.

[TristanMech]

No, you're right, it's the clean part only.

You still haven't done the Knopfler thing you promised me... ;)

[TristanMech]

Excellent as always.

Only, the backing is a bit too loud...

[CedricIII]

Well, the clean channel is a bit too low - I agree, but when I turn on the OCD/switch to channel 2 it's not too low, not IMO.

Thanks alot! ☺

[budhabuddymaister]

love it man, nice to hear when high on weed, just the same as how i play :)

[primetwo]

fint som snus! riktigt vackert!
