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

[gateway010203]

without the effect, his song's not bad.

however the effect screwed him.

[Pesiane]

so that sound of the guitatr comes from the harmonizer?

[ThePsychonaut1984]

Hi, my name is Garry SHITS!

[cookiesrawesomee]

he plays like a pro

[hebrewuser]

why does expert village suck so bad--I have yet to see a video that is not the epitome of garbage.

[ZachVMNTX1]

You know I don't think it sounded that bad. I mean c'mon guys go easy on em. He's just demoing an effect he did that. So why don't you all get off your high horses and calm the fuck down back to earth.

[XaleManix]

@ZachVMNTX1 Haha I see what you did there.

I didn't think it sounded all that bad either for a tech demo.

[30steveg]

IVE MADE BETTER SOUNDS WITH MY ASS

[30steveg]

please sell your american strat or give it to someone who will play it to its potential. then, go buy a yamaha and start learning how to play like all the other beginner guitar players. idiot.

[stormofshit479]

harmonizers are shit. they're expensive as hell for something you can do by simply playing the extra added part through a different guitar OR by playing it and layering it on top if youre recording

[RekkiMekki]

@stormofshit479 What about live? And you don't want to pay an teach a whole other guitarist?

[SeanyFens]

Guitar wankery gone bad

[WOB1010]

How not to user a harmonizer?

[Unholyhector]

[HeavyMetalForces93]

Holy crap, he also had the guts to record that shit he wrote...

[k5lta]

[Somai82]

He didn't show the pitch sshift at all. Typical bullshit village

[lobsterpot999]

@axelboy420 yeah it will sound shit when he's got 3rd and 4th intervals on it..

[stevenjsherwood]

2.14 sounds like Blobby!

[bobcheese427]

[GuitarPlayerTimm07]

1:41-1:47 ears bleeding 

[ujjwalprabhakar]

[ujjwalprabhakar]

[anshumanchaube95]

[MR0806]

o:45 rugrats anyone??? :D

[MR0806]

@MR0806 Sorry I mean 0:45

[DaNnY92506]

lol reminds me of bullet for my valentine

[GuitaristPAX]

Everybody dreams that they're a guitar player...After playing a pretty impressive set one night in Phoenix, a guy said to me, "Dude, I know a guitar player that YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING WITH." Being the Ambassador that I AM, I politely inquired as to who this guitarist is( I've been playing for many moons my friends, auditioned for some BIG bands, did Studio work in L.A. blah, blah...) Anyway he says "it's my daughter man-she's 15 & she's been doin' Guitar Hero for 6 months.." Delusional ass...

[hanagatanoiser]

@GuitaristPAX keep talking shit

[hanagatanoiser]

@GuitaristPAX keep talking shit. you've used a pitch shifter to get your ego that high didn't u?? haha

[mathal13]

guitar harmonizers ARE BUILT FOR HARMONIES

[peaceout231]

@1:21 and a y

[ShadowLancer128]

@axelboy420 Maybe if he would just have left it on 3rds, or 4ths, even 5ths alone, instead of combining intervals, THEN it would have been a great harmonizer ad. I can see that i can use this like any other POG pedal, to get that grand piano sound. It's got potential, even if I dont like his material.

[Justins1manband]

That guy didn't write that song he just fumbled around the neck with a bullshit effect and started strumming. If he did write that he's an embarrassment to actual guitar players. I could almost stomach this shit until he played his "song".

[Markmeister182]

what the fuck is your problem?!

GOOSH

....

horseshit head

[GuitaristPAX]

@Markmeister182 Horseshit head? As opposed to Cowshit head? or Goatshit head? You guys are crackin' me up here ... lmao ...

[dijaal321]

@cowie86 IKR

[tefolase]

dangerous horseshit

[cowie86]

@tefolase I literally just laughed out loud for ages over this comment. So much funnier than the one with all the thumbs up. Still laughing now.

[tefolase]

@cowie86 lol

[someguy131415]

@tefolase trolololol

[tefolase]

@someguy131415 the song sounds so bad

[someguy131415]

@tefolase Yes, yes it does.

[TotallyNuss]

@tefolase Hehehehehe.  Nice.

[tefolase]

@TotallyNuss lol

[PF1964]

What are your three most important pedals for Jazz?

[PF1964]

Is Chorus important for getting a Jazzy tone?

[jagjaghuh]

@PF1964 Ha, nonono...

[Sephy7777]

@PF1964

little bit of reverb would be good for jazz

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

hahahhaa dangerous horseplay what a shitty song

[MeaQuidemCancer]

Tom Morello uses these ALL the time. The song Maria uses this to get that dissonance in the verses.

[aouts123]

oh my god someone plzzz shot him!!! MY EARSSSSSSS ARGHHHHH!!!!! are u serious??? learn to play the guitar and after learn to use the effects before doing videos....

[nrl1987]

dude do youre research, schutt is an accomplished multi instrumentalist, run back to your guitar hero

[GaaraGrimmjow]

@aouts123 skase poustara

[usetheforce93]

sounds like battery.

[mbguitar84]

There is a very good Queen song called "Chinese Torture" where you can hear something similar, check it out

[cwilll]

is that how a7x does it in the studio?

[evilclown2323]

@cwilll no they do it with two guitarists

[MrSlainAngel]

@cwilll nope they do it in overdubs man, no pedals

[cwilll]

@MrSlainAngel ohh i se thanks man

[TheDriveMaster]

Nice!

[Hielkenator]

horrible song...

[loller25]

i cant se why evryone have a problem with his way to teach?

[0SilverNinjaX0]

i thought he was oing to play, "sweating bullets", but then i was like, "nah! just the E minor scale." lol

[mario1136]

Nice, I wish my harmonizer was that good, I am using a multi effect processor so it isn't as good as that

[matthewzguitarz13]

@mario1136 i have a HORRIBLE multi effect pedal O_O it doesnt even work O_O

[mario1136]

@matthewzguitarz13 That sucks :(

[AnthonyMusngi]

What kind of harmonizer does he use?

[FrozenSparky]

omg i play from 6 months and i wrote song that sounds much better than your crap x.x

[MrDunkJunk]

@FrozenSparky no you didn't;)

[FrozenSparky]

@MrDunkJunk oh really? I cant prove it but you cant prove i didnt either :) and idk what you think cause ive made bunch of riffs/solos that sound better than failvillage guy

[groovey65]

@FrozenSparky bullshit

[FrozenSparky]

@MrDunkJunk idc*

[muxammle]

hmm so this is what muse used in mk ultra !

[TheGIN1986]

well i thought that was awesome man :D

[grungeasyouare]

In Brazil this it the our Country ( Sertanejo whitout distortion of course )

Sound emo from farm ! kkkkkkk

[alexgoodbourn]

shinobi boss fight sounds!

[rockinarmy]

that sounds terrible...

[klt777]

Andy Martin - Brother from another Mother - Where Eagles Fly

I've always struggled to find a home for harmonizers other than vocals but they are cools devices. Thx for post

[eduardorox0694]

The effect sounds like a guitar with a shitty MIDI rendering over it

[willisdeadd]

Using the 3rd and 4th in addition to the root sound bad. If you're going to have the 3rd in there only add a 5th or a 7th depending. Unless you want to get funky like this guys horses, which is extremely unrecommended.

[panzerny]

@willisdeadd , it depends on the effect you want to achieve. It sounds , well, dissonant as hell. BUT 'dissonant' doesn't mean BAD. Check out Penderecki's 'Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima' . This is one of the most dissonant pieces I've ever heard, and yet one of the most impressive, left me with my jaw on the floor and completely speechless. So, if you use it wisely, any 'chord' computed by the harmonizer can be great.

[willisdeadd]

3rds and 4ths? wtf is he doing? Root and 4th alone sound like crap. No wonder that song was terrible. If you're going to harmonize do it right.

[OllieCClarke]

Sounds like Top Gear 

[OstentatiousTyler]

Harmonizers may give that affect on the guitar where it seems.... Good. But I still say with a rhythm guitarist that knows how to Harmonize, and be in sync is much cleaner sounding

[blackstormer95]

i hate the adds from google! =@

[terretetetito]

Something says to me that the harmonizer effect this guy's using sounds like crap. There are much better versions of the same effect than this one.

[myskull54]

Your song that you wrote has a nice neoclasical sound

[wiredclaypool]

lol, Dangerous Horseplays... retarted

[olba12]

who pays for this shit?, get anotheir guitarist and it will sound so much better

[Meta1Head91]

Petrucci's son has a few killzone modes himself! Rawk you to death with his 3rds and 4ths.

[phampharm]

My ears are bleeding

[varunjewalikar]

"horseplay" sounds like horseshit

[tefolase]

what model of pedal is this and brand ????

[SicSolution]

No offense but that Dangerous Horseplay thing sounds like shit

[19yoda950]

Agh the harmonizer is a good sounding pedal when played right but this dude stinks! I mean that song he "wrote" sounds like something somebody who has only been playing for a few days came up with!

[WideSword]

Does this guy get paid for this?

[agirotto]

great videos. it's been very helpful. thx.

[bossie501]

Who else thinks it sounds a bit like Queen?

[dunkelfalke]

@bossie501

Yes, pretty much. Brian May uses a delay to achieve the effect, though.

Search for "Brian May delay" on youtube to see how he does it.

[galihkun]

sorry,,what pedal did u use in this video??i like the sound...

[TheChocorooms]

Hey shut up, I liked the song

[xXxCrossoveRxXx]

@jakadaba Yes U.U

[Redding28]

"All that cra..."

Cut the video xD

LOL

[Des60s]

really good for progressive :D

[neuroxik]

It sucks cuz I can't choose on mine, I can only pitch up, but can't tell it what scale or to minor.

[Boshunz]

you might as well use a keyboard

[infectionsman]

Man i played around with that annoying effect for like 30 seconds when i got my pedal, then i never touched it again. IT MAKES PEOPLES EARS BLEED

[BanicChan]

@infectionsman in this video it sounds annoying I agree. But its great for recording harmonized soloing when htere is only one guitarist. Iron maiden makes great use of harmonizing solos/

[infectionsman]

@BanicChan yes i know, i like harmonizers, and harmonized solos, but i hate the sound of non-intelligent pitch shifters and to some degree even intelligent pitch shifters if the melody doesnt match up

[allaff628]

IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO BE DISCOVER

VOW AMAZING MR GUITAR EXPERT..I CALLED JiMY PAGE AND TOLD HIM

TO RETIRE FOR GOOD..

[TehKeytar]

I really think expert village makes these videos to piss off musicians. I honestly don't see any other point.

[ZoltanoCortez]

hey, they're useful starting points for people trying to experiment with new effects... like me lol... tho i still suck XD... working on that

[gnrfanatic141414]

@TehKeytar why are you pissed? i think it's interesting

[matabaldia]

@TehKeytar the thing, is he is very good pissing of people.

[MrSmity101]

@TehKeytar these videos are for people who are begginers and with some sort of sense of knowledge about this stuff, these videos are just to show you how the products are used not how to use them -.-

[jihanskate]

the riff he plays sounds like

it might be a bgm for like nintendo games haha

[UnstoppableChaos]

Hey I think they use this effect in Megadeth's Sweating Bullets. That or it might actually b harmonys with the other guitar.

[SHING91]

wow... dangerous horse play... truly a brilliant man... wonder why he's not on a real band...

[silkenmistgrrl]

i think dangerous horse play is like a metaphor for bestiality

[Metalica364]

what the fuck kinda song is that

[CoombesKidd]

which is better, boss ps-5 or boss hr-2?

[coolcustomer31]

ps-5 has more features

[AlterMannCam]

That song of yours sounds great. I want an MP3. XD

[g00glemast3r]

this guy has a great attitude... i little to great...

[deestra]

pentatonic scales, all that c--

right now i have it set too..

LOL:p nice guides, it gives a very good lookover and tips to use it even though you already have them

[NickWeiland]

steve vai fan :P

[gbrycki]

That was a song? Really? Huh.

[RatRay420]

nice song man, is that the hole thing? if not u should put the hole thing on here

[BekkersBelly]

Pay attention, he says it's a RACKMOUNT!

[pyrodeath3x3]

the song u wrote i think would sound better if it was either a 3rd or a 4th harmony instead of both at the same time. but thats just my oppinion

[xchriscrossed]

BADASS. This is the only pedal I will ever need.

[Melermometal]

Dangerous horseplay?

[undergroundmexicans]

dragon force shit

[deanml1986]

melodic monitor scales???? :S

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

thats some king crimson shit.

[SlaughterSwitchBlade]

sounds very ugly

[b0ssh0gg]

yea, what is the actual device?? i cant find another harmonizer pedal on YouTube that sounds like that, and that is exactly the sound i want.

anyone know ?

[muchacho1967]

Exactly. What is the name? Very bad instruction

[wildmagus]

this was supposed to be instructional?  what the hell was the device?

[samfukunishi]

2:30 lol

[chum1002]

Actually, it sounds very good.

[ibtsv]

Sounds very Maiden.

[fbmccutcheon]

Also have an old Digitech IPS-33. Its started to fail on occasion. Anyone know someplace or someone that will service these older units?

[tunabake3000]

he got cut out when he was about to say crap @ 0:24

[aektzis91]

sounds like shit lol when you have the 3rd and 4th

[abarbar06]

so what happens if you hit a wrong note?

[dddudeyeaa87]

sounds even worse

[meatballllll]

It blows up and you die

[CSB008]

lol

[southgower]

it changes the temperature of the sun

[WirSindRocker]

you made my day xDD

lool

[littlewahoo27]

thats why you should know your scales if you play guitar.

[chriscoooley]

when i played on a boss diatonic pitch shifter, it would pretty much freak out whenever i played an off key note. go try one at guitar center, they usually have them on those giant boss pillars
