@sbgrox11 it is a well built guitar that he helped design to fit his own preferences, like the volume control for instance, but you can do that on any electric guitar, whammy bar or not.
You can eliminate the unwanted strings by muting the lower ones with right hand thumb resting on them and higher ones with spare left hand finger touching them. Depending on which finger are you "smacking" with. Check the competition video on my channel! Thanks!
A long long time ago I had attended a guitar "camp" at the Raleigh Music Academy in NC... Anyway at some point I was able to play his guitar.. His action from what I remember was very high, as well as having a heavier gauge string set.. They could have been 11's but may have been 10's.. Not very sure.. But that guit is sooo resonant it's ridiculous. But it was easier to pull natural harmonics with the action higher as to not hit the fret....
really want to know how he's creating harmonics like that with such control without letting any other strings ring out. i tried doing what he does, i.e smacking the stings where simple harmonics are and all i got was a load of nasty string noise :( would be nice if there was a camera pointing down the neck
@rujiel17 That's true, I agree with you. But it wasn't my point. There's a lot of people complementing this guy, as if he was doing something absolutely new, and I don't think so. He picked up many techniques developed by other guitarrists (like Vai) and used it into Metal. It doesn't make him a bad player, I just don't think he's a pioneer. Peace.
@brunogalba Vai and Satch hammer on natural harmonics, Mattias hits the harmonic and makes it sound like a whammy pedal, but its just natural harmonics, and his sound is very different to anything i have heard, most swedish guitarists are pioneers when they get very successful outside their own country, Yngwie J. Malmsteen (Yngve Malmsten) is another great example of this =]
@F4TB0Y69 wow! great explanation. Well, I'm not a guitar player, just a listener. So, If you say so, I'll take it as the the truth. I can't argue with you. :) Peace! PS: I love Yngwie, the first guitar hero that really thrilled me.
@brunogalba thanks man, yeah I love Satch and Vai aswell, alot of virtuoso inspires me, my big influences are the likes of Dimebag, Buckethead, Bumblefoot, Jeff Loomis and Rusty Cooley, some of them guys are proper crazy, yeah Yngwie's knowledge of music and how he creates his songs/compositions is truly something to marvel at, his love for Beethoven, Bach and Paganini and such really flow in his music, I learned ALOT of versatile techniques from him, but I learn a lot from all music =]
You don't need any pedals, all of your tone should come from your amp. That's why tubes are the way to go. IA just happened to figure out where every single harmonic is on the guitar and probably really worked at it to make them sound so crispy.
I saw him live up close and talked to him various times and he doesnt use anything apart from a wah for fancy effects and some distortion (mostly amp sometimes via pedal when the amp is too small)
man! I know he uses his sig distortion pedal , but fuck!!! how is he playing those harmonics with a simple slap? I can't I tried like 1,000 times >.< maybe it's my guitar
the second frett, its hard do get the overtones to come out right everytime, for me anyway, really nice for big bends sort of, to use overtones, i learned it from mattias utube videos, thank you for that mattias :)
yep, it's when a certain is played over or near a note that is tense and seems like it requires a resolution, such as going back to the key centre or the home note. dissonance is often a flat second, major 7th (melodic minor) or a flat five. when notes 'gel', or sound like they fit, such as fifth notes, it's called consonance. it's all about the ratio of both frequency relative to one another, like an octave is double the frequency of the lower note.
nah not quite, but i've taught a few ppl and get a lot out of it, the more ppl with that sort of knowledge, the more great music is made, so i'm all for it :-)
Yep. Thrashman1990 is right actually. He's a lil cocky...ha but it's true. :-)
If you've listened to IA much you'd know it's not just "gain" - Sure that lends to sustain but , anyway, what I was going to say was - IA - yeah, he actually backs off on the gain a lot . Usually with the volume pot
Yea. He obviously has a lot of gain. You can't naturally produce the kind of harmonics he's getting without gain and volume from Just an amp. So either the gain is built into the guitar or the amp is modified with an extra stage of gain. So that crap about alot of pedals is bull. Trust me. I've gone both ways and I can verify that gain isn't just an amp. Maybe he doesn't use anything but gain and delay, but they are clearly there.
@Ninjaro I have been to a seminar with him and the caparison guitars are extremely easy to do those harmonics on. (altough he showed he was able to do them on a cheap 300 bucks guitar also). Try to slapp the harmonic hard with your left hand middle finger as he does at 2:30... You should try to press your whammy bar a little before and release it exactly when you hit the note for greater effect. You need a strong left hand; it's tricky but still not impossible.
Could be, but there still must be high gain and high volume to produce harmonics like that, no matter what finger technique is used. Claiming to "not use pedals" doesn't mean anything if the high gain is coming from the amp+volume and hot custom designed pickups are used. Try it with a stock Fender Strat for example and any combination of pedals (or not). I guarantee you, it won't happen.
Exactly. His bridge, and the woods that compose the neck and body contribute too. As an example, I have an Ibanez RG2EX1 with a Kahler and an Ibanez RG120 with an FR. Some harmonics that I get on one can't be gotten with the other and vice versa.
the amp and pickup only decide how clean/distorted/overdriven the harmonic will sound. you can get those harmonics on any guitar, with or without gain, on any amp.
He plays about 3 different laneys, I think they one that gets him the most harmonics is the TT100 Combo, which he is more than likely playing here since it is portable. That amp has really great harmonic complexity and celestion g12 century vintage speakers which are really sensitive, I played an ibanez with SD SH10 PUs and through that combo and was able to split harmonics easily I also own the head version. that is a huge part of his tone.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
outstanding guitar is the only key to get harmonics. (try peavey hp special, axis, ibanez js 1000, I don't like basswood guitars but they have great harmonics)
@Thrashman1990 I'm pretty sure Mattias' signature harmonic sound requires a floating bridge / whammy bar, as he dips the bar before striking the harmonic, and then raises the pitch after. Extremely high gain is probably helpful as well.
@Thrashman1990 sorry but your actually pretty wrong. sure technique is most of the battle but if you have a more azz based guitar or just a super shitty guitar then its gonna be impossible to get some of those notes to ring out
@ynot69her Not true I have one of the shittiest guitars known to man with extra heavy strings, It's my friends and he doesn't know how to work a guitar. The action is all fucked up and it hardly gets sustain but if you give me a good amp I could pull off these screams they just won't ring out that long.
Giving lecture on music theory while making jerk off noises kind of loses it's appeal real quick. Whammy bars should be outlawed. Like training wheels on a Harley.
@bigbigsound You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense. And haha, you have shitty technique.
you can hear the use of delay and reverb pretty frequently, and he uses a wah a load of times, notably that tune where he plays the guitar on his lap. Plus, a wah would help get those hard-to-reach harmonics out
@ibanezbloke What he means when he is talking about using pedals is that a lot of modern guitarist run their shit through SO much electronics that you DO lose something in the translation.
Straight reverb, delay and even wah aren't going to kill your finger tone, provided you fuck with the settings a bit.
Yeah, he uses an optical wah with true bypass so it won't mess with his tone, but no delays and or reverbs or anything like that.
Maybe in postproduction when doing albums, but that is another story .
I've been to freak guitar camp several years and seen him to this kind of shit on a tele, a strat, a jackson, a suhr, a gibson semi-hollow body and lots of more guitars with nothing but his amp. so I assure you. He is the real deal, and his strong left hand should be president!!
I didn't know anyone else out there appreciated dissonance as much as I do. My wife and I used to calm down our son by harmonizing our voices, and one of us would maintain that tone while the other slowly moved lower or higher, and you can hear the dissonance. It always made him stop crying because it's a really weird effect. Very, very trippy. I love it!

@ibanezbloke What he means when he is talking about using pedals is that a lot of modern guitarist run their shit through SO much electronics that you DO lose something in the translation.
Straight reverb, delay and even wah aren't going to kill your finger tone, provided you fuck with the settings a bit.

Yeah, he uses an optical wah with true bypass so it won't mess with his tone, but no delays and or reverbs or anything like that.
Maybe in postproduction when doing albums, but that is another story .
I've been to freak guitar camp several years and seen him to this kind of shit on a tele, a strat, a jackson, a suhr, a gibson semi-hollow body and lots of more guitars with nothing but his amp. so I assure you. He is the real deal, and his strong left hand should be president!!

I didn't know anyone else out there appreciated dissonance as much as I do. My wife and I used to calm down our son by harmonizing our voices, and one of us would maintain that tone while the other slowly moved lower or higher, and you can hear the dissonance. It always made him stop crying because it's a really weird effect. Very, very trippy. I love it!
