I love how a lot of youtubers claim they could what he does and are actually better than him muwahahahaha... That's why he IS a respected guitarist and you're NOT! Such sad people on the web..
If you are a Rage fan, search:Rage Against The Machine - First Public Performance (Full Concert). The name says everything. I went crazy when I saw it.
@longview1987 its a Fender Stratocaster. He named it "Soul Power" as you can see. He has another stratocaster called "Arm the Homeless". I don't know how much you know about guitar electronics, but ill explain anyway. Soul Power has single-coil pickups as its typical with a stratocaster, whereas Arm the Homeless has humbucker pickups so it sounds a little more metal. any guitar with two humbuckers has a toggle that can be used as a killswitch. he added one to Soul power as a mod.
Take away the guitar when hes scratching and it looks like hes jerking off while rubbing his titties. But even doing that, Morello would still be tha fukin man
tom shows everyone that you don't need to have the same technical playing of the likes of PG to play good music. he's almost like playing the same F# (just with some variations) through the whole song!
it's a Fender stratocaster man, but he usually customize his eletric guitar, or been, the shielder may've been order by him (a unique piece) you won't find it to buy etc. I hope it helps
That "fucking around with settings" as you call it, is a lot more interesting and imaginative than a lot of these so called "guitar gods" today ("woo, I can shred really fast, 15 year old boys with Squire Guitars 10w Line 6 Amps worship me!").
It's progress, simple as. Remember that over the years people like you used to frown on Power Chords, two-hand tapping, using distortion, and even playing an electric guitar instead of an acoustic one.
@MattRynlds96 Yes. He does not fuck around with his amp settings at all, they have always been the same since he started writing music fro RATM, Audioslave. Plus a good solo isn't based on how many notes you can fit into X number of seconds. He is a GOD so I suggest you shut the fuck up.
@js94beatlesYou're right, a good solo isn't about speed, I just think that a good solo shouldn't revolve around noise from your fret board, it isn't musically talented. He is a good musician but he is by no means a guitar God.
@MattRynlds96 I doubt you'll ever do this but look up promenade street sweeper social club. watch the end solo of the first live result. Itll be worth your time, it's easily a better solo than any other
@BobDawg173 Mate, I just listened and you're right, it is a million times better. I wasn't bashing Tom Morello. I just don't think this solo is worthy of all the praises. It doesn't hold any notes or melody unlike this one that you have mentioned.
@zomgitzakitteh 1 To start off- because it just feels and sounds good- and you can't always analyse those sorts of things. Buuut I'll try.
Certain keys on guitar have certain easy chords/notes to reach I guess. For starters E and A are really big notes and chords in F# and are both really accessable.
Also, think about why E's so good. One of the (many) reasons is because it's so low you can just
@Muzikman127 belt stuff out and it sounds fucking powerful. The lower in pitch- the meatier sound
With that in mind. F# the lowest comfortable "closed" position. E.g for a pentatonic. E is mainly open strings so it's a totally different feel to keys like F ,F#, Ab etc. But why not F? the first fret just isn't nice to barre or really to start any run from (on many guitars) whereas the second fret just doesn't have that issue.
@Muzikman127 The first fret for some reason is just weaker- I guess it's so close to the nut you just don't have much leverage. Vibrato, intonation etc. are just more difficult on the first fret
One thing I would argue it isn't so much is the key itself- it's more an instrumental thing. A guitar tuned to Eb will have that knocout sound,
@Muzikman127 thanks, that still helps alot. and it makes sense now. im practicing in C major, minor, and hungarian right now, so these key thing are really important.
@zomgitzakitteh hungarian eh? What's scale's that? Also as for practising in a particular key- once you know something in a certain key, you basically know it in every key- you can just move it up and down the neck that's the great thing about guitar.
@Muzikman127 i dont know exactly what hungarian means, but if you look at some videos of Joe Satriani's "MUSTERION" you can see that its a pattern that wouldnt normaly be used
i can play some pretty complicated songs from just memory, and i know the modes in major and minor, but i dont UNDERSTAND them yet, and i can never figure out what key a song is in, or when it changes keys.
