How to Use a Guitar Effect Pedal : Pitch Shift Effects for the Electric Guitar

[Aleksej79ns]

1:50 Tom Morello... :)

[k5lta]

@Aleksej79ns hell yeah!!

[TyShredder]

anyone recognize the allan holdsworth? haha

[anildhan123]

reminds me of castlevania...

[erlangibr]

psych

[Matthijs3476]

Yet another idiot from expertvillage that thinks showing off is teaching how to do something.

[amichaels10]

@Matthijs3476 No not really. What he is doing is showing you what the guitar will sound like when you play it normally but with the pedal.

[SpoonsXownXsinceX92]

@xRAiNxHD Then why does he play on a righthanded guitar?

[mortblack11]

@SpoonsXownXsinceX92 i'm lefthanded too..but i play mybest in right-hnded guitar..but i can play a liitle in lefthand.

[SpoonsXownXsinceX92]

@mortblack11 then how did you notice?

[darryleyeman]

Nice Allan Holdsworth "Heavy Metal Fatigue" riff at 1:25!

[666snoppy]

half of all the fucink videos on youtube are from Expert Village

[siftheads1000]

1:47-1:55 sounds amazing

[hungetkunstler]

I was liking this video until he started playing Allan Holdsworth.

[xXMeTalZXx]

sounds out of tune effect pedal

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

Now I know what the hell Buckethead is using!

[jauffRINDIR]

@EvilDudeoftheDead haha yeah he led me to pitch shifters too

[zippyXL]

@EvilDudeoftheDead he uses the boss super shifter instead because he can use it as a whammy

[MrPetersonic100]

sounds like a robot singing lol XD

[johnchristy2008]

nice video. I'm using zoom g 2.1u. Is it possible to add more than one pitch to d dry tone using this? How can i create 12string effect ?

[Softairguy]

@johnchristy2008 u can't add more than 1 tone

[betopitufo1]

that sounds pretty cool

[Evilrex500]

Fade to black, Solo 2, that uses this effect.

[AreYie93ae]

wow..this guy really shows what pitch effects means.....

[Sigmafy]

theres an effect where they dont even play a note, but this slow pitch change occurs and gets higher until it becomes a screech. any idea what that is?

[zeonflare]

@Sigmafy I think your thinking of feedback

[amplifiedlithium]

@Sigmafy Sounds like a Whammy pedal...

[Pokajoka773]

@Sigmafy Phaser, or Flanger

[WitcherRage]

Gah effects are horribly compicated :(

[roundhousekicker88]

Could somebody tell me if this is what Death used to get their solo sounds? It really sounds like it.

[MigelMeUp]

@roundhousekicker88 Iff they had two guitarists they would've harmonized together, iff it was only one guitarist then they would've used a pitch shifter.

[hambee100]

respect :)

[SlapPopStacy]

Pretty nasty.

[FLarueAndrew]

i have the same guitarXD

[ZimrayaTV]

is this what metallica used on "The Memory Remains"

[SantaWithGuns]

Sounds a little scary.

[xXMeTalZXx]

1:47 to 1:55 sounds like old megaman :D

[mauro00013]

Sounds like power ranger.

[1pozz1]

Is it possible to play a power chord with only one string with this pedal???

That would be awesome....

[mdognirvana]

@1pozz1

He is doing that at 2:28, I think :P

[MAJ0RM1KE]

@1pozz1 yep, set it to a fifth up.

[MetalInstrumentals]

@1pozz1 if you use it before distortion it can, but it also works with no distortion

[NoLieIm51]

0:01

[GOR225]

What a tank

[Guildhelm]

That sound great!

[MeanGreenMovies]

up until now i thought the amp was at the back of the room at least 2 metres away.

[Socioistic]

This is the only effect I can say I have honestly never heard.

[999manman]

1:29 = Allan Holdsworth " Metal Fatigue"

[4444HD]

I loled at the sound

[Blitzzkreigg]

wait so, im an only guitar player in my group and so lets say that i wanted to make a melodic part in a solo without the nag of practicing on end with another guitarist to acheive that sincronization i can just put it an octave lower or higher and there goes my melodical solo?

[AOCRkid]

awesome! I see why people thought heavy metal was demonic now

[wajang1000]

Where in the pedal chain would a pitch shifter go? Before or after distortion?

[ForcedIntoSanity]

@wajang1000 I put mine after idk y but it sounds better that way if your playing metal or rock

[xXMeTalZXx]

sounds like metal slug :)

[guiterry]

Anyone have or know where I can get / download the manual for one of these? I just picked one up of the up on eBay pretty cheap, but it didn't have the manual.

[77bukansaya]

what is an octave ?

[jeffandscottvideos1]

@77bukansaya octave, definiton

a series of notes 8 notes higher or lower than another

basically the same note name just a higher or lower pitch if you go 8 notes higher or lower like the e note it has another e note 8 strings higher (go down with your hand 8 notes) and lower (go up) see like the higher sounds are close to the bottom of the neck and the middle the low are from the middle to the top get it now?

[metal1man15]

@jeffandscottvideos1 or 12 frets, y'know, if they dont know what an octave is they probably wont understand key signitures. i jussayin.

[jeffandscottvideos1]

@metal1man15 or they could just get a guitar and take lessons XD

[JustunLivae]

these fucking ads are getting ridiculous. we need to boycott youtube!!!

[666quebec666]

that holdsworth lick was pretty sick looll

[MikeTheGuy00]

I LOVE the perfect 4th harmony. Oh man. Sounds psychedelic.

[onfire4000]

that sounds evil

[1pozz1]

Does it mean that you can play power chords with only one string?

I mean does it go that far with shifting that it can shift your tone to a power chord???

[MrKanawyer]

@1pozz1 That's the perfect 5th up setting.

[123sonyas]

138786 videos????????????????????????­??????

[LooMinn]

Whoa!

Very cool how you gave us a taste of Metal Fatigue @ 1:25 without even mentioning it. I dig your chops PLUS you're a good teacher.

[dkfelix]

pitch shift

[LOOZR182]

he is like the only EV guy that isnt a tool

[guitarpsychobilly]

This man actually knows what he is doing

[TheTurning]

Awesome pedal! You do explain very well, keep the good work, thanks!

[rubbadude]

I just realized that expert village has over 135k videos O_O (random sorry)

[HeetWav13]

The devil went down to gerogia!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jjjj187]

damn hes good lol!

[figaz555]

Why bother with sub titles on a music video...

[SuperGuitarNewbie]

Expertvillage is for beginners, I mean REAL beginners

[pho3nix]

@SuperGuitarNewbie and thts how it helps me

[SuperGuitarNewbie]

@pho3nix Okayyy... I suggest you move on to other guitar lesson videos soon (:

[BGDD27]

do they come in stomp boxes? i think i could play the Detroit rock city solo with that cause its just ace playing then Paul mimicking his parts but a minor 3rd up. and if i had that i wouldn't have to overdub my guitars.

[haydenv2]

@BGDD27 boss ps-5

[HeetWav13]

@BGDD27 or you can buy the tab book to show you how to play them both at the same time...but this is the better deal. and yeah i believe the do come in stomp boxes

[coteton111]

megatron sounds XD

[ASSLICKERADAS]

add in some distortion and ambience, and it would be killer!

[lotrringereras]

1:46 to 1:56 it reminds me to power rangers

[ifcman9]

At the start it sounded like he was playing experimental grindcore.

[wolflover707]

his guitar sounded chipmunk'd at the end

[TheBboyUneek]

kk great vid, BUT....fix the freaking subtitles! theyre soooooo slow! its so disracting!

[Rockinrub]

@TheBboyUneek YOu can turn them off

[BaalZobel]

nice guy, I could learn from this guy



[1FISHEY]

sounds like crap

[MrVoid77]

why the hell is this with a text -- for deaf people??

[Leni122]

part form 2:52 sounds like one of steve vai song or solo, i cant remember it now ;P.

[wtu61]

@Leni122 Do you mean the live one where he taps ?? G3 live in 1996? type in steve vai solo and go on the first one

[TellingYouTwice]

What are the amt in comparison to 4th's 5'ths and all that. I see on my rp250 that theres like 12 amt, but theres only 8 notes. How do i determine?

[deceased94]

can i use the pitchsift like blocking out my original signal? (downtune without having to downtune the actual guitar)

[HolyGK]

Dude, sounds like dimebag darrell

[pee12345]

@HolyGK

at the end i was saying the same

[YanceySpecial]

I'm pretty sure that a 4th below the tonic is the same a 5th above?

[Hudzan]

Morpheus DropTuner...MUST HAVE.

[sup1967]

@Hudzan save money, get the Behringer US600!!!

[neunmad]

Cant remove thaT damn text in the middle of the damn video

[sonofkikkoman]

80's pitchshifting just made my ears bleed

[Ln192]

Goddamnit Gary, why aren't you playing with G3 yet.

[Conbryvas]

Why couldn't this guy teach the "How to play guitar" segments too?

[ZapVaf]

sounds like petrucci!

[brendanm1245]

this is the only guy from expert village who seems to know what the hell their talking about and says things that aren't basically common sense

[ripstick91]

@brendanm1245 he's still kinda a dumbass sometimes. He's not a very good musician, just a guitarist. He hits notes, not makes music.

[byteresistor]

@brendanm1245 Take a look at the EV video where he talks about 7 string guitars. Maybe you will change your mind.

[garykeller15]

you said you play an A and the pitch shifter is set to high step higher then shouldnt it be G flat not b flat along with the it?

[harryspoonpotter]

@garykeller15 no

[akosininio]

Petrucci in disguise

[Megamaniac610]

I think Alan Holdsworth used this effect.

[nickdelsesto]

sounds like omar @ 2:26

[shodero]

tmv!!

[ZapVaf]

i didnt knew that, that's what a pitch shifter does, so if i buy one (pedal) ill be able to play songs with different tunes without even touching tuners??

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

depends on which one you get

[YoungGuitaristt]

WHen im playing an A, you can hear A flat. hahahahha xD

[Vykvajzz]

you look like Tim Roth

[SYNcustomWILLbeMINE]

@AresCassell

yeah, for most of the stuff, and most of the time that sounds better (because you can play within the same key, that mix of major/minor intervals sounds better to me), but if you want to harmonize up a minor second or higher on the 24th fret, you can't really do that unless the other guitarist can do some CRAZY string bending

[HailThyDrumKit]

the half step sounds great...

[VOODOOCHILDJORDAN]

do +16?

that would be cool

[barfsonyou99]

that wud be like freds guitar

[SachaDeath]

ma porco dio anche la pubblicità mettono adesso? CHEMMERDA

[glassbowls]

coo pedal

[melodicmetal66]

@AresCassell

cause there is a self satisfaction when you used the effect ;)

[ruidml]

yes but you dont have more 2 ands free

[AresCassell]

@KNIGHTCleric SHUT UP FAGGOT

[KNIGHTCleric]

k that really proves your arse ass dumb person

Nothing more to say-make your conclusions-i dont give a fuck about them

What was needed is to be done.End of story

[AresCassell]

@KNIGHTCleric

You could have POLITELY stated your point but instead you called me a dumb arse ass. If you nicely were to say what you said I might have considered it. But alas, you were an asshole. So SHUT UP FAGGOT.

[ZapVaf]

why spend money on a 2nd guitar if u dont have? why having two guitars in a live, or sometimes 3, when you can just use this?

[valis2374]

Two guitars in a band usually do not play the same part in a song. This sort of effect will not replace your standard rhythm/lead rock guitar combination. You're limited to whatever pattern you're playing on a single guitar with this effect.

[ZapVaf]

lol, i just answered to another's person question and i didnt mean this saying about 2 guitars in a live....

[MrJackanthony]

this is a noob question. I know I should just google it myself but are there acoustic guitar effect pedals? Or could electric g effects be used on accoustics?

Thanks

[insertbadname]

if you had an acoustic/electic then yes, on a regular acoustic you'd have to capture the sound with a mic, and then lead it thru the pedals to an amplifier ...

[MrJackanthony]

Thank you.

[steverzilly]

AC-3 Acoustic Simulator [BOSS Sound Check]

[lewis987654321]

who is this chump?

[LacerateSkiesGuitar]

I thought it was metal fatigue !

[Mastahboys]

not the best effect for me

[pyoung4232]

so with this i could "change" my tunning and play in Eb or something like that without moving the strings (do you get what i mean?) and playing only in that tunning? please answer!!

[restxinxlove]

no lol because youll still have the sound of the E standard ringing along with the Eb

[c32linder]

To correctly answer your question, it just depends on the unit. I have a Digitech GNX2 floor unit and it's pitch shifting processor allows the original signal to be turned down all the way, so yeah, then you can "change the tuning" of your guitar, and hear only the new processed pitch.

[funnyharleyman]

Would a pitch shifter be the effect to use to make a 6 string acoustic guitar sound like a 12 string?

[mullen2105]

Yes because you could harmonize up an octave to get that tone.

[telejag1]

a chorus may work, but this would do nicely

[scoty123123]

when i first heard lost by avenged, i thought there were like 4 guitars playin now i feel stupid

[KillerChrisProductio]

lol

[ReindeerForest]

an a sharp, not an a flat.

[kevdog330]

He corrected himself.

[lechtoler]

whats the lable of the guitar?

[cunjoz]

fender...he just put 2 humbucks instead of 3 singles.....

[SeymourTim61]

This guy is killer.. He knows the guitar and the effects, etc,.. Good stuff.. Keep up the good work..

Tim

[BooVII]

This is Gary Shit with Amatuer VIllage.

[555MARC555]

expert village is shit

[FuriousGopher]

Shit? or THE shit?

[jamesstone123]

dint realise how glitchy some older digitech stuff was. this was before the original whammy came out but thats only single note playing XD

anyone buying a harmony pedal, save a bit more. and a bit more.

then buy a HOG XD

[szlafarski]

or a POG!

both work great

[jamesstone123]

definatly XD

the POG2 is amazing, its the same but with an extra suboctave, a few more adjustment options, smaller box (bout the same size as a big muff on its side) and a preset knob.

Fantastic XD

[JoelLXVI]

Metal Fatigue!!

[TheBlackmetalhead]

It sounds juicy lol

[DimebagOHammet]

This isn't a lesson on using the effect properly....this is just hearing it...

No my friends....this is shit....

[jamesstone123]

yeah but isnt most of the point of guitar effects to do with how it sounds.

admittedly the title is a bit misleading but its not wasted much of your time.

pitch shift is one of my favorite effects tbh

Dan Armstrong green ringer with a big muff is a pretty decent octavia sound.

[davidtheguitarman]

this remind me "owner of lonely hearts" solo, by yes.

[lessavyfav712712]

You're a total retard. 2:05

[davidtheguitarman]

AHAHAHHAHAH!!

yeah I forget it!!

[starwarsguy34]

What's the difference between this and the digitech whammy?

[abaofifsz]

huuuuge fucking difference

[BOBO77345]

I have an easy little poem for you my friend:

i don't care if you want to sue

or call me names like "stinky poo"

cuz all i i ever want to do

is be able to shred it JUST LIKE YOU!!

[deuxmila]

WTF

[Vercingetorix]

I quite like the distorted tone you are getting from the amp alone. What model is it? I am not familiar with that faceplate.

[zach7000]

holy shit does this suck, i like guitars are harmonized as two guitars.

[efrog57]

could this be used to "tune" your guitar, like if you were using a capo on the 1st fret or somethin, or is the original input sound played in the "background"?
