Eric Johnson said recently that moving his Fuzz Pedal one inch to the right on his pedal board affected his tone, this is impossible, that isn't how electricity works. I guess if you are just as ignorant about science, you might believe this, he says it with such confidence and conviction. If he said the wood that his pedal board is made out of affected an ELECTRICAL device would you believe that as well? That is the same claim that Guthier makes in this video. Science Bitches it Works!
Eric Johnson says lots of ignorant scientifically impossible things as well Gutherie does in this video. They might be virtuoso guitar players but they are extremely ignorant at best or SNAKE OIL sales men as worst when it comes to SCIENCE. Eric Johnson claims to be able to tell the difference in brands of BRAND NEW batteries in a Distortion pedal. Impossible, that isn't how batteries and electricity work. Science Bitches it Works!
For those scientifically challenged and don't understand this magic thing called electricity, electric guitars produce sound from an electric current being induced from a METAL wire vibrating over MAGNETS wrapped with wire. How many times and how tightly these wires are wrapped around the magnets and how strong and how many magnets there are are the ONLY thing that can SCIENTIFICALLY affect the TONE of an electric guitar. Go ask an electrical engineer, Science Bitches it WORKS!
@jarrodhroberson You're assuming that the pickups and strings are not attached to anything but free floating air. I'm sorry but unless they aren't attached to any other matter that could effect the strings ability to float freely. There are more variables here than you are giving credit to.
@wakeboarder860 googe for "Waves on a String salford" it explains very easily that there is no such thing as "different shaped waves on a guitar string". I did lots of experiments with electric pickups suspended over a guitar from the same distance as they were mounted and spectral analysis software and hardware waveform monitors in college, TONE WOOD IS A HOAX, google that was well. Anything else is non-sensical mysticism, magic and ignorant religious beliefs.
Everyone saying he is wrong is 100% correct, in fact even from his own statement which was actually going to be the main point to point out is the pickups are MOUNTED to the top and dropped inside the cavity, how thick from the top to the back and how solid it is will affect tone...100%. In the handbuilt and custom guitar world its pretty much understood no 2 guitars are exactly alike and that has to do with differences in wood even from the same tree, lacquer density, 1 or 2 piece top/back.
@willeng84 sustain has nothing to do with TONE it has to do with how long a string vibrates a particular AMPLITUDE. TONE is which FREQUENCY a string vibrates, and if wood or any other material affected this, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to TUNE a guitar. Anything else defines the laws of PHYSICS.
@jarrodhroberson basic vibration mechanics says that the vibrator aka the string, which is attached to a large mass aka the body, is affected by the large mass. The strings natural frequency is not affected but the systems characteristicfrequency can be changed by altering the large mass. The mics that pickup the string vibration are part of the system. Therefore by changing the large mass aka the body you can change the characteristic vibration of the whole system (Tone)
@SamwaisGanza I hope my english can be understood, i'm from finland and i'm studying and soon will be getting bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. I know its not University degree but i specialize in product design and we study some vibration mechanics. I understand your scientific facts but vibration and sound ain't so simple. It's not all about the strings freguency
Respond to this video... the fact that most handbuilt guitars use HANDWOUND pickups is the reason that they don't sound the same, I have put pickups on waveform monitors an E produces the exact same waveform on a guitar as it does OFF a guitar. This is SCIENCE, not some ill-concieved mythology I am speaking of out of gnorance of physics. 5th grade physics at that. I guess you all think a $300 wooden volume knob will make your stereo amplifier sound "warmer and richer" as well!
@jarrodhroberson Your crazy, I play really really really really nice gear and I can tell you this. You are full of shit. Ok, check it here it is. If your playing through a solid state marshall IT DOESN"T MATTER, if your playing through a JCM 800 overdriven to 1000 it may not matter that much, Basically if your playing a crappy amp it doesn't matter AS MUCH. With really nice equipment EVERYTHING affects your tone, U can't be a musician! NO WAY. I don't care the wood vibrates and affects tone.
@willeng84 "I spent a lot of money" is a extremely ignorant reasoning. Lots of people spend lots of money on "Monster" cables every year, doesn't make the fact that Monster nor Mahogany can defy the laws of physics. Just search youtube for "how an electric guitar works" not a single scientific reason even mentions wood, most even say it plays no part explicitly. google for "Waves on a String salford" to understand the mechanical physics of how the string behaves. Fact not a religious belief.
Jarrodhroberson- that is the most retarded, and close minded thing I've ever heard describing guitars. Wood doesn't affect the tone? If you can't hear, or feel, the difference between mohagony and say, plywood, then perhaps you are deaf and/or retarded.
Well if you don't think there are tone woods , then maybe you've heard of Guthrie Govan he can explain to you if you need your question answered by a pro there you go
Suhr makes him 3 sig guitars and there are im sure power house suhr amps there on stage and he plays threw a hook amp very strange ! And he reg amp is concorde , i dont get what he was thinking ?
I can't post the URL but google The Heretic's Guide to Alternative Lutherie Woods, by John Calkin.
First of all (and speaking from a steel string guitar perspective), let's discard the notion that some species of wood make good instruments and that others don't. The concept of tonewood is a hoax. The tonal difference between a mahogany guitar and a rosewood guitar is exactly the same as the difference between two mahogany guitars or two rosewood guitars.
@CHIPDADDY1000 explain scientifically how wood can possibly affect an electromagnetic field? Oh yeah, it can't. Tone comes from the way the wires are wound around the magnets in the pickups, thats it wood has nothing to do with it. The density of the body and neck material can affect SUSTAIN, but not the tone. It is the pickups he has specified that give a guitar tone, those pickups in the crappiest Strat knockoff would sound exactly the same as any othe wood! Science bitches it works!
@jarrodhroberson You are wrong on this one but at least you admit it does affect tone..........1. I am going to go ahead and shut this down by saying you admit it, If the wood density affects the sustain and sustain is part of the TONE of THAT guitar....how is that not affecting the tone. 2. The density of the LACQUER makes a HUGE difference in the wood and how a guitar breaths, Eric Johnson says he doesn't play with the back plastic on a strat and sands the paint off the inside cavities.
@jarrodhroberson Now with the lacquer and wood density kind of out of the way, With different types of woods you achieve different vibration and length of vibration, they have blank fretboards at PRS that are almost tuned to a note naturally, meaning after being cut and laid out you can tap the top of the wood and it vibrates an even resonant tone that doesn't vibe. Play a parker and tell me if a les paul had those same pickups it would be the same thing.......NOPE I own them both.
@jarrodhroberson The resonance of the body is effected by the different woods. It changes the shape of the wavelengths. When the body vibrates it aides in the vibration of the string and changes the way the string vibrates naturally. that's why initially most tonal characteristics are the same but after a few milliseconds the unique tones begin to come out. Your correct in your statements about the wood not directly effecting the pups, it does effect the string vibration which effects the pups.
@wakeboarder860 this defines PHYSICS and LOGIC, first off it defies the "First law of thermodynamics" that is a pretty basic building block of our understanding of the universe. second it defies logic, because if the first thing could be overcome, and some how magically the wood vibrated enough to affect the frequency the string vibrates at, which is what defines the TONE it represents to be perceptible and it can't, a guitar would NEVER STAY IN TUNE.
@jarrodhroberson I would love to hear your rig and play it and then set down yours and hand you mine. Thats all I have to say, I am a tone freak and from what your saying a Parker sounds exactly like a Gibson Les Paul if they both have Seymour duncan JB and Jazz....!?!?!? NO, I have done it before, I own every major guitar make you could name, all the Fenders, All the good Gibsons and a pile of PRS's, I also have recently begun collecting Parkers. An Ibanez will not sound like a les paul.
@jarrodhroberson I never said it would vibrate enough to change the frequency. I said it would vibrate and change the shape of the wavelengths. I don't know if you're aware of this but different instruments have different shaped wavelengths. That's why they dont all sound the same. No instrument, with the exception of a synth, can produce a perfectly round wavelength. You don't know what you're talking about. Are you even aware of how timbre of instruments vary with respect to wavelength shape?
@wakeboarder860 a string only has one shape, a SINE WAVE, its timbre is based on the overlay of its fundamental and harmonic waves, all of which are SINE WAVES and NONE of WHICH are affected by the WOOD that the guitar is made out of. They are affected by where the string is struck, and on electric guitars the string is isolated from the wood entirely by the nut and the bridge, the wood is a PRETTY piece of the guitar but not a tonal piece. Reference Google "Waves on a String Salford"
@jarrodhroberson Never did I say "spend alot of money". I am a PROFESSIONAL GUITAR PLAYER, I sit at home and play guitar all day and have for the past 16 years straight for hours and hours. I didn't make money sucking or writing a 2 minute pop single, I did it by playing shows and being a real person and teaching people about tone, guitars, amps and I will set up they're gear for free in 90% of cases. I am 27 and own my house because of my ability with music, my grandfather was a pro too.
@jarrodhroberson I can honestly say I have played as many if not more guitars than most employees at guitar center and you are reaching, saying most manufacturer's use hand wound pickups...I don't think so, the consistency would be shit. People praise PAF's but I own old gibsons and played a ton and some are TERRIBLE. According to you a Gibson SG with burstbuckers IS the same thing as a les paul with humbuckers? or even crazier a Strat with a 25.5 inch scale will sound the same with the same?
@jarrodhroberson Why don't you take your arguments to someone that cares and might believe you like a 16 year old thats NEVER played or touched more than 1 guitar in his life. You can tab out Nickelback songs and make 15$ an hour filling him with your LIES. Bc you have no ground to say this shit at all, a PRS with a 25" scale length made of Swamp ash with a maple neck will NEVER sound like a Les paul with the same pups, depending guitar to guitar on density affects sustain which IS TONE!
@jarrodhroberson The bridge and nut are attached to wood which vibrates. You can't honestly tell me that you think metal and wood can't transfer vibrations through each other? I'm sorry dude your shitty ears are wrong. This conversation is done because you are simply wrong.
@wakeboarder860 Google "sounds amazing salford" or "waves on a string salford" it explains very well that what you are describing DOES NOT EXIST, it is mysticism and magic and ignorant ( as in preferring simple explanations to the exclusion of more complex correct ones". All strings vibrate in a SINE WAVE, one shape, only one shape a SINE WAVE. There is no magical multiple shape sine wave guitar because of the wood it is attached to. Wood, Steel Acrylic, Cork all one shape SINE WAVE.
I've got two tabs opened: this one and the White Strat clip. While the basic tones are very similar, it's obvious that two single-coils next to each other are more potent than one single-coil alone! That said, his (now) signature guitars (3 counting the latest) are probably the guitar for anyone wanting the best of both worlds: a single guitar that covers Jeff Beck "Blow By Blow" and "Wired" in one guitar (these two for example).
3:02 to 3:08 - Am I wrong or he played a part from Bohemian Rhapsody. If I'm not wrong, then listen the harmonic lick that he played and the tremolo usage. I mean, I can play that thing but not I would never think of doing it with harmonics and the tremolo :D Damn smart guy!
@JD0GxAUDI0 you put your finger over a fret at the desired harmonic and use your thumb to pick it
its quite difficult and you need to do it quickly but people like guthrie and tommy emmanuel use it when they're doing harmonics whilst holding a chord shape or doing something else with their left hand on the lower frets
I would absolutely have one if it wasn't $3500 dollars......... but I bet it's worth every penny!

oscarmeyer516006 1 year ago
@JD0GxAUDI0
12 frets up as you said
Hold index finger 12 frets above the fretted note(apply same amount of pressure as when playing natural harmonics) and pluck with thumb
Pluck next string with the middle finger
Then repeat the pattern down the strings. string wise, the pattern goes, E, D, A, G, D, B, G, E
I hope that made sense.
