[GRFTGP]

I cant bealive I watched the whole video...

[masterclassbass]

nothing special i've seen...the midi pickup makes all the sound...but in rest nothing unsual or weird

[breadfish69]

Lars Ulrich and 19 Nu-Metal fans disliked this video

[MEGATROID114]

the synth part just sounds amazing man! is the gr-20 worth getting for trying to write a few songs an/or playing covers of songs using the synth?(like playing the synth part to Jump on guitar), or only if you record and play live? anyway, love the vids man.

[pedrohgromero1]

Nice walking bass!!!!

[Carthsting]

This sucks.

[joweerocks]

brilliant and humorous!

[Michael55443]

Okay, here's a strange question. At the very beginning, you are popping all these squeals on the guitar, almost like octaves or something. Number one question: what is that called? Number two question: how is it done?

[thinsulite]

@Michael55443 They're called Pinch harmonics and it's done by having your thumb off the edge of your pick and when you pick you end up hitting the string after you pick. You won't be able to understand it by reading my comment you will need to watch videos and practise.

[Michael55443]

@thinsulite I think I have an idea of what you're talking about. Thanks for taking the time to answer my silly question.

[bladerunner12]

I think my brain finally broke at the vocal mm-bop one. Just... no words to describe that.

[tnmusicman1]

That's just cool as hell. That Roland guitar synth was the bomb in it's day !!

[massacrationable]

what do you think of the angus young signature pickup ?

[glassbottleblues]

 The whole thing is amazing

[Maxpound]

Your videos are so eccentric and inspiring to watch. I'm in my early mid 20s now and I hope I can play as well as you do once I get to my mid 30s.

[MrLukacszsolt]

omg what kind of efect pedal is that ?



[Punkdebutique]

CAUTION: Do not watch this video if you just smoked pot, it may disturb you for some minutes.

[lorddrag140]

Dude,Am i high?Did you just make your guitar sounds like a piano?

[stevethebot]

You rock :P

[synthfrets]

What guitar synth module do you use? GR-20?

[NicoPepperFunk]

ITS VERY COOL !!

[songbirdwhosings]

Nice playing (and the faces were funny). This is a good tour of the sounds. I use a G2M which is not as good as a Roland but much cheaper.

[zucca3902]

is there a difference in this compared to th sg faded besides the finsh??

[riffguy]

@zucca3902 The SG Standard is just dressed up a little bit more.

[abcman7913]

the cat is obviously deaf

[GuitarCondorNew]

[iop223]

[TheRunningComedian]

O My god Dude... thats fucking hilarious...amazing.

[timmyh5150]

Incredible chops man! What a talent! You're one of my favorite guitarist on youtube. Are you in a band, or do session work?

[drivershigh29]

LOL that was fun!

[massacrationable]

0:54 seems like piano ! awesome dude

[wownabril]

Hey Riffguy, im but a newbie guitar player, but i love the screaming sounds you are making on that SG, But how do you make them, Any tips?

[Hersheybars]

dude what scale was that at 0:42 to 0:50 ? I always wonder what it is cause i love the sound of that the notes sound so aligned to it.

[riffguy]

@Hersheybars Blues scale.

[tonne2009]

@Hersheybars

i´d say besides normal E minor pent at 0:40he plays not the minor, but the major third which in this case is on the 16th fret, and as well he uses the 9th (on the 14th fret (both 1st string) - then also on the 2nd string the 6th (14th fret) and blue note (b5) on 14th fret 3rd string.

all these notes can be added to minor pent

excellent job, riffguy

[yngwierhoads1989]

@Hersheybars jeezo man blues scale

[jessupar]

[MrGuitarman54321]

[johncartelli]

[RICJOR74]

JAJA BUENISIMOO..TOCA MUY BIEN Y MUY DIVERTIDOO

[joeyguitarlo]

Fukin cool synth stuff. wish i had one.

[guitamez]

Awsome dude ... you know your stuff!!!

[austrolopitecuserect]

eccezionale

[ripcliffburtonrip]

i have an sg standard and isnt it a 498t in the bridge, not the 490r b/c on mine, the 490r is in the neck, or did u switch them?

[riffguy]

@ripcliffburtonrip I never cared for the sound of the 498, so I took the 490 out of the neck and stuck it in the bridge position.

[pmay222]

@ripcliffburtonrip i finally got an sg after years of lusting for one and admiring angus and tony iommi........

and i hate it soo much right now...just could not get on with the weird balance of it...

funny that...

[YeshuaRising]

Very Nicely done! Mad Skilz!!

[audiotrax2000]

Excellent guitar synth demo! Sweet SG, playing - plus you look really cool too :)

I can't figure out why you still don't hear about more guitarists actually using tools like the GR-20 now. I mean, this stuff actually works reliably, and it isn't that hard to get into.

[theTGproductions13]

were do you get a guitar synthesizer?

[riffguy]

@theTGproductions13 From your friendly neighborhood Roland dealer.

[MJJBproductions]

get a life

[iEatBassGuitars]

2:41 made my life...

[howserbiggins]

Pretty sweet

[TheAmorican]

lame.....  good god......

[Branualsofsteel]

looks like a midi trigger pickup on the guitar! very nice, very hard to play one as clean as that, in most cases whil using one you must pick every note for the midi pickup to register it, very tricky to play fast! nice one mate!

[slandbass]

u suck

[4everRock666]

your cat is awesome if it can sleep with all the noise your making around it. xD awesome soloing!

[Purexdetergent]

@4everRock666 or maybe his cat is dead?

[yngwierhoads1989]

@4everRock666 cat?

[jimdog1964]

I LOVED it!! Excellent job there. Never heard an SG scream like that. Great sound. Keep it up.

[janetil5]

ur livin in a fantasy...grow up!

[riffguy]

No thanks, growing up is over-rated.

[Pussynator123]

@riffguy excactly

[brandontylerkaiser]

Agreed that guy isn't worth talking to Riffguy keep on rocking!! its never to old to stop stay 18..! fucik you janetil5

[slimyesli]

[AngusYoungFan200]

[eggboy1987]

WOW that's amazing....

[captinclutch1987]

Man, thats cool.

[basilisAPO]

[oldschoolsg]

[hielmi85]

Awesome!!!!

[StortoNOFX]

I Don't like :P funny and curios but when he switchs off the effects and starts to play the guitar, the sound is too dirty :P speed & clean is the way :P

[ZakkHendrix666]

[rafauleciaelcarpio]

@ZakkHendrix666 and a bass

[oriana310]

This guy is just likeable man :)

[bossmxr1]

a guitar should sound like a guitar...........if van halen never existed what would you Play?? AWESOME...............

[j2112c]

Neat Ending BHAP!

[AcDcRoCks951753]

Does that Gibson SG Standard have a Maestro?

[herrowgroodbye]

what look at this loser.text book definition of a douche bag.

[grimchain]

how do u get your punch harmonics so clear mines are always sounds kinda high pitched for a second then they die out.

[arturogol]

4:49 the greatest shit of all times! it's freaking awesome!

[trippygitarz]

Nice pickin man. I use the G-r 20 on some of my videos. Riders on the storm @ revive is the best display of it. I sometimes get tracking clams from over sensitivity, you don't seem to have that problem. I also had to shove paper under the pickup to even out the tracking. I really dig your bass/piano thing. Very creative

[DJYuYu2xD]

hahahabauajaja ^^

[Salihy7]

what do you call those sound/music when it sounds like a girl saying aaaaaaa or a man saying aaaaaaaaaaaa

[kabanosi]

i want that guitar synthesizer

[superjokerrr]

What Effects did you used?

[dauntlesdiety]

uh.. o.o... did you just play piano on a chocolate guitar?

[jacky812]

f**k you!!! you are great!!! :)

[XDBBC]

Hey "UkeOfEarl"...dont be a jealous bitch because his hands are so much more gifted then yours...ASSWIPE :)))...if you cant leave a positive respectful remark....do us ALL a huge favor and hang yourself upstairs in mommys room...we will ALL concider it a public service...:)))

Xavier

[thehorrordesign]

[RobertJohnson1938]

This guy is one of the MOST original & talented guitarist's ive ever seen/heard....

You rock bro!!!

\m/

[LJMcCain]

That's pretty impressive man. I got the same guitar. I want a mirror pick guard and truss bar cover for it but can't find the T-R cover. Got any suggestions?

[variablel]

Nice decor... 1976 was a great year... I really love the way you make those bad ass faces before you even hit a note (at 4:05) after searching for the Sax patch.. ooooh so soulful and deep! Thanks Miles

[riffguy]

Damn, I was going for the 1978 look...

[brandontylerkaiser]

lol were you just being kinky or a bitch?

[llunter]

i love the pinch harmonics!

[AshFromCan]

only problem is he'd melt your face off before you even got your hand up.

[Megatrane]

dude where's the cat?

[IronMan360]

The cat is not impressed... haha

Great stuff!

[slayervaderdimmu]

its amazing the cat can sleep through all that, very nice tho

[synesthesia67]

[kernowrock555]

[BlackWalzQ]

I love the effect on 2.24 ! Nice playing! keep it up man! :)

[c4662]

YOU FUCKIN ROCK

[The7isbest]

... 4:50... HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[isayah85]

... you like Marshalls, huh? Rock on!

[ArcFang]

Nice sounds there man. also some nice faces lol. keep it up.

[aksgamewiz]

try some yngwie riffs with one of the roland's pipe organ settings, wish they were a tad cheaper then i might be able to get one, nice improv btw

[nickbaldeagle01]

Whilst it might seem loud to us humans, the sound waves emitted by the Marshalls will be mostly below the range of the cat's hearing.

Cats hear very high frequency sounds which are inaudible to humans. The cat at best can probably hear a very low faint humming sound.

[Killswitch500]

The cat is probaly used to it:P

[MrSandman004]

lol the giant iPhone. look at it. and for those who wondered like me the cat is under his right arm.

Your cat is deaf.
