Old people trying to understand young people... Just don't. You'r time is passed and its ours now. We'll do music with the tools we have(technology). And it'll be great you'll see. And when i'm old, my IIbanez will have become vintage
@awemedinade no guitar made from the woods available today is great sounding. average sounding at most. it was before the guitar became easily available to the masses that wood could sound 'great'. it was when trees were left alone to grow and mature enough before they were cut, giving the wood its superb tonal characteristics. you can't sound like that nowadays, except if you have an old fireplace to use, like brian may did.
@sepultribe666 Quite the contrary, actually. A tree's a tree, and most of the kinds of wood available 60 years ago is available today. In addition, modern technology and materials have made guitars more reliable and great sounding than ever. Well, unless it's the really cheap stuff.
@awemedinade guitar quality is far better than what it used to be, yes that is true. but trees are cut too early due to massive demands and this affects sound character. wood maturity changes its cellular structure and thus its acoustic response. just like playing the guitar for many years along with it aging naturally changes the frequency response. its all on google, search it up.
@sepultribe666 Yeah, as has already been said to you dude, that's bullshit really. There may be some truth in the fact that there are more mass produced guitars now than there used to be, so it's easier to buy a shit guitar now, but it's not like there are no longer trees growing at a natural speed for people to make guitars out of. Come on. You buy a high end guitar now, it's made from just as good wood as the old ones were.
@pazzmodium no, a high end guitar, hell even a low end one, will smoke a vintage guitar in terms of built quality. but ask a good luthier or someone with a good ear and he'll agree with what I said. ask brian may why his new copies will never sound as good as his own guitar. it has also been scientifically proven that mature wood along with wood aging affect the sound (positively). [cont]
@pazzmodium you can call this bullshit all you want, thats ok. not all people have the same sense of perception or the same hearing capabilities after all. gl2u
@sepultribe666 trees are not suddenly growing differently to how they used to. If you leave wood to mature now it's exactly the same as it was then. Trees have not evolved some form of different growth mechanism since the 60s. You're taking the vintage/modern argument a little too far here. Sure, vintage and modern guitars are better/worse than each other in certain ways, but to say that wood can not be the same as it was in the 60s is obviously not true.
@pazzmodium you got what i said wrong. what i meant to say was that the wood from a tree being cut at 10 years of age is gonna be vastly different than wood from a 100 year old tree that was left alone 90 years to mature enough. wood sources in the old days were not the same as today. ever heard of fast-wood plantations? of course there where bad sounding guitars back then, that's because the locale plays another role in wood sound quality. luck is in there too. many factors..
@toxicdooney Guthrie's friend Phil Holborne (himself originally a classical player) told me GG found he couldn't do classical. The lack of finger nails would be one problem, I would guess his tendency to outrageous spontaneous improvisation might be another. He certainly doesn't need anymore talents to prove his brilliance.
@voiceofreason79 what you're talking about is called "being a cliche". 355 and a Fender twin? We've these wonderful inventions called "pedals" that will give you distortion. Who know's.. you might actually sound original! :O wouldn't that be cool!
If I were a blues player, (which I probably am at heart) I wouldn't buy either of them purely because I think they look shit, but I'm pretty sure I'd still sound like a blues player...
@louisalive Try telling a guitar expert that he's being cliche buying a 355 & a Fender Twin & then further admit to him that you buy your guitar equipment based on how it looks.
After doing that, see how little he values your opinion.
@voiceofreason79 dude, "a guitar expert"... do you mean a professional musician? You're talking to one haha! The reason I can choose my equipment on the way it looks is because I'm quite sure/certain it will still sound like me... What's wrong with being creative/different? Hendrix played the strat pretty darn well, by copying, in my opinion, I'm only gonna come up second best, who wants that?
@voiceofreason79 sounds like you're up your own bottom haha... you obviously haven't been in many bands! "Just saying"... "Image" is, unfortunately quite an important factor, but fortunately, as long as a guitar is well made, it WILL sound good, providing the player is any good. You can't disagree with that, sorry. A bit of cynicism seems to go straight over your head, chill out. I own a fuckin' strat, and a les paul just like everyone else... (EVERYONE ELSE, being the key here)
Oh my goodness. No matter how many times I see Guthrie play, I can't help but love his "soul" the most. What an incredible player. I'd love to jam with him one day!
@voiceofreason79 Caves were the very foundation of modern housing, but I'm very happy that we have moved on a bit, because I like my house a lot. The thing that annoys me most is that you claim that virtually every musician replicates the tones of our peers. As a guitar player for more than 30 years, I can assure you: I've never tried to replicate 50s or 60s music, because I neither liked the songs nor did I like the guitar tone, and since this is my taste it's nothing for you to question.
@Endowug Fair enough. For the record, I've been playing for 25 years & am an accomplished classical guitarist.
That aside, the point I was making (in justified response to a closed minded comment) wasn't that every player plays 50s/60s music at all. I don't either, but I understand it's importance. Our ears, whether we like it or not, are conditioned by music that we listen to & by tones that have already been discovered. This is our understanding of the electric guitar's tonal spectrum.
@voiceofreason79 I can see your point, and from a purely historical angle these guitars and tones are important for modern music, but I also think I know what upsets your 'friend' LfunkeyA so much - the observation that vintage seems to win the upper hand over proper musical ability. There are so many mediocre bands around that brag about the old equipment they used for their boring records, and sometimes it seems to be more important who plays the rarest guitar than who's innovative.
@Endowug If we're talking about the creative evolution of the instrument, then I wholeheartedly agree there. I'm a composer myself. However, some players enjoy playing vintage music on vintage equipment. There's nothing 'pathetic' about that at all. Quite the contrary.
In 50 years time & amp modeling equipment has become the global standard for amplification, I'd think it was most unfair to be called 'pathetic' if I preferred to invest in a traditional all-tube amplifier.
@checkoutthisblues Guthrie was using a 1966 Fender Princeton with an Analogue Man Sun Face Fuzz pedal in between. The amp was miked up next door and you are hearing the sound coming through the studio monitors with a bit of delay and reverb added at the desk. This is all being picked up by the mic on board the camera used to shoot the sequences. Incidentally the SG Junior is from 1961 and has a badass bridge fitted only for intonation accuracy. The original bridge is tucked away in the case!
@voiceofreason79 Totally Agree. Guitars from 50/60 years ago weren't built to be versatile. The guitar's tonal spectrum was still being explored. Each guitar had a specific tone to it.
It's not a case of buying a modern guitar & and amp that does everything. 60 years ago people didn't have that luxury and those vintage guitars gave birth to the tones we associate with music of that era. They only sound like themselves & nothing else. It's about purism.
I would REALLY like to see Guthrie and Derek trucks both using SG's and a slide. Same guitars, but different styles. Except the world would split in two from massive amazing-ness.
8:27 - 8:30 .. best statement in the whole video....
I understand the value of a vintage instrument and I'm not claiming they are better .. I've played an original Rhodes mark one keyboard for example, and wasn't crazy about the sound... but I understand the overwhelming value of that piece of instrument now a days and why.. I just think there's too much people thinking vintage is good while modern is just bad.. that's a big generalization
The phenomenon of vintage tones also applies to other instruments like piano and organ. No matter how the technology of synthesizers has evolved, most of keyboard players still looking for organic nature of pianos and organs, even that being through the samplers.
PS: Guthrie Govan always stands out from the crowd, no matter what style is.
This is all such rubbish, it really is. More money than sense. You can get guitars that will cost you £100 or less second-hand, that play and sound great. It's got much more to do with your pickups and amp, and even the nuances of those things will be far less important in a mix, especially live.
@Botdra I guess I'm more concerned with my taste in guitarists than my taste in guitars. You did see that I wrote £100 and not £1000, right? You can spend not much on a guitar, and even get away with not that much for an amp these days, if you can play and know how to set up your rig.
@guitarpedant Yes, and that was my point. That you can spend loads of money on a vintage guitar that plays better than any high-end guitar on the market today, depending on your taste and preferences.
Sell talk....That is all vintage guitars are about...Its just to make money. I sold my dads old Strat, bought an equally good Tokai and had money over for a Harley.
@LfunkeyA And who might you be? Nobody "should" or "shouldn't" do anything. If a person wants to lust after vintage gear, let them. It isn't pathetic; it's their personal taste. I agree that music should always be fresh and constantly recreated, but the tone used to create music is the preference of the player. Nothing for you to question, because everyone has different tastes. Respect that.
