Gothic Guitar Lesson - Mournful Chordal Atmospheres

[COOLBIAN57]

This is so simple, yet because of your awesome tone and playing it sounds so good. Did you program the drums? This is inspiring. I wish I had a reverb and delay pedal now.

@COOLBIAN57 I use a virtual drum kit in the form of Addictive Drums by XLN Audio. It was a loop I found, which is lucky for me because I'm not very good at programming drums, lol.

[FREDMERZRS]

Your aswome!!! Cant find anything else like this on the web. You should put out dvd.

[gsogoz]

[SerenityDivideGames]

@gsogoz Please keep us updated when the DVD is available. I'm definitely interested in picking it up.

[gsogoz]

@SerenityDivideGames The DVD itself is ready, I've just got to sort out some postage costs and setup the item on my eBay store.

[gsogoz]

@SerenityDivideGames I'll be doing a video update when the DVD is ready to order and post. It's also available as a digital download over at my website, by the way.

What tuning do you use or any effects to get that sound?

[gsogoz]

@Pryce2112 Standard tuning. Chorus, Reverb and Delay.

All your tutorials are brilliant. You have such an eclectic style. Cheers man

[gsogoz]

@awesofusspossufuss Cool. Thanks!

Thank you for providing some great guitar instruction. You explain everything really well.  For too long, I've ignored learning how to play the "sus" and "add 6, "add 9" chords. Your guitar lessons show how great those chords sound, particularly for the more mournful and gothic songs.

[HoustonGaston]

Thanks!

[HoustonGaston]

What about effects here. I'm always wondering the effects they use in goth rock and deathrock

[gsogoz]

@HoustonGaston Same sound I always use. See my other channel, zykophonyguitar for the video.

[77RamonesCramps]

@HoustonGaston: Typical effects for goth rock include reverb, delay, chorus and sometimes flanger. The first three are generally what are involved in recreating that classic sound.

Very good. This is so cool to have a teacher like you, showing us ways of playing guitar in styles such as Shoegaze, Goth and Dream Pop... bands like Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine are hugely influential on wel-known acts like Deftones and Smashing Pumpkins but you can't find lessons nowhere. And then here you are! so cool! you manage to give us some great tools to master those "out there" styles of music . (I'm french, sorry if my english is not correct). Good stuff !!!

[vasinstreet]

your lesson ideas are great man, awesome stuff!
