I've not been playing long myself but watching someone explain their interpretation of a song doesn't half give inspiration to someone like myself just going down the 'effects' road...Respect and keep it up!!!
I just discovered Mogwai today, I thought I heard all great music. To me they create a certain atmosphere like pink floyd does but without going over the top with it, the create the same energy has all the emo bands but without the gay screaming, and the fingerstyle reminds me of the piano which I love to hear recreated in guitar.
A guitar player who doesn't know how to play a basic chordS does not have the credentials to tell? ANYONE how to play ANYTHING on guitar. This is kids stuff compared to what I learnt at GuitarLessons(dot)TK
@johnathantowers91 Who the hell are you to judge and what does it matter how good someone is on the guitar? I play because I enjoy it and it think 58,000 views would suggest that people have found this video useful regardless of whether its "kids stuff". Do you see anyone else telling people how to create this effect? No one is saying that its difficult. All I am doing is sharing how to use the pedals to create this sound to share with people who are interested.
@wxb499 having played for 8 years and never known any post rock effects until i stumbled upon one two weeks ago, i found this video incredibly insightful and useful; saved me a lot of time and gave me a good start for my own experimentation. thanks.
@johnathantowers91 i never learned chords....and im in 3 different bands playing 3 different types of music..you don't need to know how to read music or know what chord is which.as long as you have a passion for the music, nothing else matters.
@nyhardcore18 Anybody with a passion for music would learn all the theory they can. Somebody who just shows up to gigs with no idea what he's doing but who claims he has a "passion" is just playing rock star. People with a passion for music sit in their rooms for hours practicing scales and chords because they love music and want to grow.
I'm not talking about you, to be clear, you sound like you take this seriously. I'm just saying, never assume that passion takes the place of hard work.
@AeolianSeventh that's ignorant shit...no offense but i know several musicians who don't give a fuck about theory or memorizing scales and chords...they can wail out arpeggio sweeps and shred like crazy motherfuckers. they don't know what its called...they don't care...just because their self taught and don't want to get all neck deep in the know how of it doesn't mean they aren't musicians...if you can play something that people find listenable and enjoyable it doesn't matter, it's emotion dude
@StonerMafiaRecords I guarantee you every one of those people you're talking about knows plenty of theory, whether they know all the technical terms or not. Plenty of great players are self-taught, but the "taught" part is what matters. Regardless, I'm not going to waste my time arguing with the kind of person who posts "that's ignorant shit...no offense" and expects to be taken seriously.
ok so i dont own any pedals but adore the shoegaze/post rock effect. whats the 3 most essential types of pedals to own??? i dont have tremolo or reverb on my amp btw.
@SuperiFox tremolo, delay and reverb. and a dirt pedal. go with electro harmonix pedals, amazing effects and really good prices. look at the germanium big muff (dirt), holy grail plus (reverb), memory man (delay) and a Boss tremolo is easiest to work with. phew.
@SuperiFox no worries, thats a few of the pedals I use. Might be a bit biast but it works for me! Also look at a Polychorus for making some weird sounds
Some neat ideas! I might snag the tapping technique that sounds like trem picking. I always just thought it WAS trem picking. lol. love it. Thanks for a cool vid!
erm, you might wanna annotate those parts where you're talking while playing. I don't really care even though I couldn't hear a thing, but I know there are people out there that might break your back about it, so I guess you could consider it haha
Amazing indeed. I am getting a lot into post-rock and admire the textures created. You guys are the most talented and creative musicians in today's music scene. I would even dare to say that you are the future of progressive music (may I use the term). Thank you very much for posting this tutorial.
@Solvernia Yeah man, you can use any guitart to get these types of effects. I use a squire strat as well!! Check out my video responses if you don't believe me!
What a yummy looking bcb-60. I want it. You could probably make some cool sounds if you were all sixes and sevens. Knock yourself on the head once then play. :D Good work (:
Okay, I admit my ignorance outright, but why the fuck do we need a need a new (and utterly pretentious) genre descriptor like "Post-Rock" for what just sounds like a bunch of bands trying to cop Slowdive's (and similar band's) sound from more than a decade ago?
Again, go easy me when you "SCHOOL" me, you ever-so-hip-and-current Indie kids; I honestly don't know any modern "Post-Rock" music beyond band names, and I'm really not being sarcastic or asking rhetorically.
@thesemenincident You can't describe Post-Rock as a genre. In fact, there is no "Post-Rock sound". Post-Rock bands just have in common that they're using unconventional musical elements or instruments in rock music and often do only instrumental stuff. BTW: Post-Rock isn't modern. It has been around since the late 80s, just like the "Shoegazers" (Slowdive).
I don't think it really matters what it is a labelled as as long as people enjoy the sound of the music! Post - Rock probably isn't the right term (even Mogwai don't like being referred to as) and thats me with lack of understanding but does it matter? I couldn't give a monkey's whatever you labelled it so long as you enjoy it. Thanks for the love for the video though. Hope you enjoy the others too.
@wxb499 Don't get me wrong... I enjoy "this stuff" in your video, I just loath the terminology... I wasn't intending to take a shot at you or the musicians, but the fact that Post-Rock is "using unconventional musical elements or instruments in rock music" like that's just totally avant-garde or it justifies a new (and annoying) term... ESPECIALLY this kind of stuff (which, might I add, is a style that's had a huge influence on my own playing, so I don't want you to think I'm knocking it).
@Beatbot I still fail to see why the music press needed a new buzzword if it's not modern, and there's apparently not much in the way of unifying factors through sound (which is typically what descriptors are used to distinguish).
Post-Rock as a descriptor just seems like BS to me... it's pretentious music journalist crap... which bears no reflection on the music, of course, and this is only my grumpy, asshole opinion.
Just wondering if I can emulate this with my digital processor? I am not sure if you know the particular model I own(Digitech RP355). It has 20 second looper too. looper is not an issue but I am concerned about effects!
Great Video man, was alot of help. My drummer wants to start do some post-rock and this was a great video to point me in the direction how to get the sound. Your deff. a great guitar player. Keep up the good work man! Thanks
@thecitylightsbloom Oh my god, if I could get ahold of an RV-3 again... the delay and reverb on that boy were BEAUTIFUL. If anyone finds and RV-3, get it. Period.
Very well done. I've just been getting into Post-Rock and I love bands like Mono, EITS, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Yndi Halda...is that what Magwai sounds like? Becuase I like it alot.
It's a shame that you only mention to Mogwai. I LOVE post rock and even though they're like pioneers of the genre i've never liked them a lot. There a lot of better bands out there such as Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Rós and of course MONO.
I have to disagree with you. Explosions in the sky are really good, and Sigur Rós is awesome, but Mogwai has some charm that makes them so beautifull. Also the fact that most of their songs don´t have lyrics makes them even more melodic.
i wouldnt say "better". i'd say "other good bands". i still think mogwai's the best and most unique band in the genre. their songs have just the right mix of joy and sadness, good and evil.
They're all very different. In my opinion, I only believe they're in the same sentence, or under the umbrella term 'post-rock' because they're (for the most part) playing pretty, instrumental songs.
As of 2008, pretty much any band who plays melodic, instrumental songs has been called post-rock. What happened to jazz, soft-rock, new age, etc.? Take away the vocals and it's post-rock.
hey on the rc-5 is the nob supposed to be a little bit slanted? when i bought my loop station pedal the phrase volume nob was slanted. it works someways. but i was just wondering is it supposed to be like that?
the mg does suck for distortion but i miss the reverb mine had. that was the only good thing about it. now i just use the cab with a different marshall head.
RC-2 loop station (£140), Marshall Jackhammer (£30 second hand), BF-3 Flanger (£65), DD-6 Delay (£100), MT-2 Metal zone (£70), CS-3 sustainer (£55) and Snarling Dogs Wah (£80? I think, I can't remember - it is discontiued now)
What are all those pedals, and where did you get yours from? I don't suppose you have a list of the pedals there on the floor, do you? It'd be much appreciated. And which pedal is used to record the first part of Helicon 1, so that you can play over the top on the second go?
Pedals help and are a really big part of the post rock sound, but you don't HAVE to do anything. I recommend learning basic guitar first, then start experimenting with sounds, don't get all the same pedals as anyone else, find pedals you like the sound of. Hope that helps.
Is it possible to get this sound with any guitar, or am I fucked? I've got a Gibson Melodymaker, and can I get that ambient sound too just by getting these effect peds?
Hey. Well I have two guitars, the Epiphone SG as in this video and a Squier Strat. I get great sounds out of both guitars. I don't know that much about guitars but if I can get a good sound coming from a Squier then I don't think there will be much problem with your gibson. Check out my superheroes of bmx cover to see the sound I get with my other guitar
pretty much any guitar, im using a fender aerodyne and a smaller setup than this (Boss DS-1, Boss DD-7, Boss OS-2 and a Marshall RF-1) and you can achieve a similar sound to this
It's a Boss looper in a a compact pedal. There is a small one like in the video, a twin pedal version and a larger one. Search it up on google for prices and reviews.

It's only shitty when trying to get a decent metal tone.

the mg does suck for distortion but i miss the reverb mine had. that was the only good thing about it. now i just use the cab with a different marshall head.

What are all those pedals, and where did you get yours from? I don't suppose you have a list of the pedals there on the floor, do you? It'd be much appreciated. And which pedal is used to record the first part of Helicon 1, so that you can play over the top on the second go?

Hi. Pedals from my right o left (as this is the order that they affect the sound) are:
Marshall DFX and channel selector (Black) -> Snarling dogs Wah Pedal (Green) -> Boss CS-3 (Blue) -> Boss MT-2 (Black) -> Boss DD-6 (White) -> Boss BF-3 (Purple) -> Marshall Jackhammer (Silver) -> Boss RC-2 (Red).
To record sound and play back over you need a loop station (or a deloay pedal) and I do this using the RC-2 Loop station.

is the delay pedal the only pedal you are using to get that ambient sound at 1:20 (besides reverb in the amp)?

Yep. I just use the marshall jack hammer without any distortion or gain to add a bit more depth but works the same without

I want to play guitar and play Post Rock. Do I have to buy all the stuff that's on the floor?

GalaxySmith18;
Pedals help and are a really big part of the post rock sound, but you don't HAVE to do anything. I recommend learning basic guitar first, then start experimenting with sounds, don't get all the same pedals as anyone else, find pedals you like the sound of. Hope that helps.

Is it possible to get this sound with any guitar, or am I fucked? I've got a Gibson Melodymaker, and can I get that ambient sound too just by getting these effect peds?

Hey. Well I have two guitars, the Epiphone SG as in this video and a Squier Strat. I get great sounds out of both guitars. I don't know that much about guitars but if I can get a good sound coming from a Squier then I don't think there will be much problem with your gibson. Check out my superheroes of bmx cover to see the sound I get with my other guitar
wxb499 2 years ago
pretty much any guitar, im using a fender aerodyne and a smaller setup than this (Boss DS-1, Boss DD-7, Boss OS-2 and a Marshall RF-1) and you can achieve a similar sound to this
