is that a factory strat-o-tele? or did you put that humbucker in the neck yourself? It looks like you moved the standard tele neck down and replace it with a humbucker
I have a slight problem with humming/buzzing, I've a Shecter 006 deluxe guitar, it's with 2 humbuckers, right now I also have a roland 30x amp. The problem is that my guitar hums just way too much, and I've checked that it's not the amp, so it must be the guitar, When I touch any metal on the guitar (like the volume/tone knob) the hum/buzzing kind of stops. I've been to where i bought my guitar and addressed this but they said its ok ... I've nothing to do now, maybe you know what's wrong??
@gytis5454 I have the same thing on my Patrik Eggle Berlin, it's because the bridge isn't grounded (electrically). On a Strat (for example) there is a ground wire connected to the tremolo (you can see it inside the back cavity) and this connects the tremolo/bridge and hence also the strings to ground. I'm not sure on a guitar with a Gibson-style tuneomatic bridge how easy it would be to get a ground wire on to it but that's what you would need.
tune-o-matic bridges are usually used with stop bar tail pieces which are mounted on studs. When you install ur studs you usuallly have a ground wire squeezed between the stud mounting piece and the surrounding wood, Hope that explains!
what you said near the end about 6-8 mins in you said about finding the right tone i find that true my dad is nearly 60 and hes been playing guitar for 40 years and recently bought me a gibson les paul studio and a marshall mg50fx i think and once i started to play it he said that most of the tones he has been looking for was in that amp and guitar
I just love your teaching working, but I got the same amplifier 12", and it's not quite the best to show how "normal EQ settings works". Because this product it's overly engineered, too good to be normal!
In real situations I found strange settings can work: cut the lows, back the mids a bit, treble on halfway.
0:27-0:33 They do NOT pick up the sound! They take the interference of the magnetic field created by the steel string (mechanical energy) and convert it to electrical energy (the signal). A transducer.
Yes, I'm being picky but you can't just say "They pick up the sound". If you're going to explain guitars/amps you're going to have to be explicit.
I know, I know. It's picky but we can't just let little lies/innacuracies through, especially when we're dealing with new players or children. If we do, these "facts" become common knowledge and replace the truth. How many people were told by "experts" in the 80's that microwave ovens cook from the middle outwards? Were YOU told that? It's completely incorrect but it's now become common knowledge. We're moving into a new age of scientific awareness. Now, more than ever, we need to be accurate.
Avalon, now you are the one that is wrong. It is common knowledge that microwave ovens cook from the middle outwards. Ask anyone with just a little knowledge of microwaves and they will tell you this.
@SRM335: Um, sorry. Might I suggest that you: A - Read about, then consider how microwave ovens work (Wikipedia is always a good starting point, or search the Internet for "microwave cook from the inside out"). B: Try it. Get a piece of meat, a loaf of bread or something similar, chuck it in the micowave for one minute. Test the surface temperature then test the core temperature with a thermometer. Finally C: Consider "How does the microwave know when it's in the middle of the food?"
No the high and low mean your output. If your guitar has high output pickups u put it in the "high" if u have a low output pickup it goes in "low". a good way to put it is if u have active pickups or a similar passive, "High". If ur using most passive pickups...use low. hope it helps (:
Yes, the clean and dirty channels from this mesa boogie would be like the low and high inputs from your epiphone, but both amps work in different ways.
Some people uses a/b boxes to change through the inputs on amps like this.
Depends how the wiring is, you have In Series or Out of Phase, I can't remember which way round (I think its In Series) but that is the 'standard' way of wiring and that means two single coils together are Humbucking, however I think Out Of Phase means they still Hum.
Wait....so I couldn't get a sound like Jimmy Page's guitar in the song Since I've Been Loving You on a regular amplifier? Do I need an effects pedal? What about, say, the Sweet Child of Mine solo by Guns N Roses? Also not possible on a normal amp?
well sweet child needs a wah pedal which i have never seen built into an amp lol, vox makes good wah's for like 80-120 bucks, but if you are looking for everything in one, go with a line 6 multi effects, or a boss me series. i don't personally like them, but i'm sure they aren't ALL rubbish. haha
Nice video Justin! I use an express 5:50... the 25w with a 12 was not available at the time. I find that when any of the tone knobs for treble, middle and bass are above 12 o'clock, the burn channel is really hard to tame. any advice? I'm putting a PRS Custom 22 through it.
I'm not entirely sure if this is correct, but distortion is effects based, like its created by the amp or a pedal. Overdrive is over-driving the signal, basically giving it a lot of gain.
Hey ive always had a doubt that no one adresses in their videos.
Is it safe to have the gain and master volume to max on the distortion channel at the same time?
Im a bit paranoid because a friend of mine busted his speaker by playing with the gain all the way up and the volume on about 4oclock. But his amp was a cheap chinese brand.
Do you think i would blow up the speaker my amp (marshall mg15cdr) if i played with the gain and volume at max on the distortion channel?
umm...i dont THINK you will, but to be honest, im not completly sure because ive been paranoid with my bass and guitar amps...but i doubt that it will hurt it...but maybe u should be safe and play NEAR full gain and master volume...like, one or two notches below =)
well in reality u shouldnt be able to cause usually the speakers have more wattage than the amp itself...(safety against it) so even if its cranked it shouldnt affect it.
im not talking about putting to much wattage into the speaker, im talking about blowing up the speaker, i know that it depends alot in the song ( i blew up my friends speaker by playing master of puppets with the gain maxed and the volume at about 2 o clock.) but i want to know if amp speakers are made to withstand the maximum volume the amp can pump out without breaking the cone.
I think his piles blew out from lugging that beautiful but heavy Mesa about.! Pouting and angry poopers are part and parcel of having good gear.Good thoughts thoughts though Justin. Cheers M8
do yall hear that at 3:34-3:35.... i swear it sounds like some 1 just pushed play on a tape recorder and a girl moaning?... m not trying to be sick... im just being honest...
haha dont deffen your self! aha reminds me of when me and my dad dug out a old amp and its 100 watts and he was turning the master up and im like what the hell are you trying to do, blow up the house?
in terms of treble and rhythm pickups, which one would correspond to each of your pickups, even though i only have 2, which i think are humbuckers, because i have a les paul
in general your neck pickup is the "rhythm" pickup, some people like it for lead and all that but its a matter of preference, all in all it has alot more mids and usually a thicker tone.
your bridge pickup is your more trebly pickup (i think i just made that up) more treble (highs) and is the preferred pickup for leads.
hey can you tell me how to get the input piece out of the hole,because it broke off and got stuck,i dont want to break anything,so whats the safest way,id really appreciate your patience,i really need this,oh and its a marshall amplifier
Actually, Megadeth released "Number Of The Beast" under the name of Led Zeppelin on their album A Night At The Opera, that was later covered by Kiss on their debut album called And Justice For All.
I just had a look at that Messa Boogie amp. bit too pricey for me. what do you make of the Peavey Classic 30? need something under £500 just for home noodling and half-arsed recordings.
nice one. i need a new amp cos my cheapo marshall mg is playing silly buggers. I have a tip for old style blues sound. on the dirty channel turn the master volume right up and turn your guitar volume up from 0 until it just kicks in and you get a really great bluesy sound kinda like a Johnny Guitar Watson or T-Bone Walkerish sound. I have a gibson so i don't know if it works with a strat type or other metal type guitars.
informative vid, but next time you should run sound through a mic into an interface, that way you can capture more of the nuances of the things you are talking about (like when you were switching pickups and when you were manipulating the mid control). You can hear it, but you'd need to know what to listen for.
heyy call me an idoit for asking but when i bought my guitar which was about an hour ago the pick ups had like tape on them i should take it off right???
I am so impressed with your lessons and work ability. Thankyou. I am quite poor right now, and I can't afford lesson. Especially, not work class lessons. THANK YOU!
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tommorrow will be the best day
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't scoop your mids! Mid scooping leads to having any presence in the mix; it might sound fine at home on your own but in a band it will, without fail, sound like crap.
There's two types of hiccups... :)

I have a tip for old style blues sound. on the dirty channel turn the master volume right up and turn your guitar volume up from 0 until it just kicks in and you get a really great bluesy sound kinda like a Johnny Guitar Watson or T-Bone Walkerish sound. I have a gibson so i don't know if it works with a strat type or other metal type guitars.

informative vid, but next time you should run sound through a mic into an interface, that way you can capture more of the nuances of the things you are talking about (like when you were switching pickups and when you were manipulating the mid control). You can hear it, but you'd need to know what to listen for.

Those are just for protection from dusts. Nothing that can effect your guitar.

he shouldve said theres 4 kinds of pickups single coil humbuckers passive and active and explained the difference a bit

passive is good, metal is for metal riffage and nothing else.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't scoop your mids! Mid scooping leads to having any presence in the mix; it might sound fine at home on your own but in a band it will, without fail, sound like crap.

so true. Guitars are midrange instruments. Removing the mids will usually make it difficult for the guitar to be heard over other instruments
