Great!! Cool sound and awesome playing! Great inspiration! What about your strat? Is it all stock? Amazing axe...Rock!

[todomusika]

very expressive playing and tone!

[suomihuey]

Henrik,

awesome video - and playing - would you be willing to share the chords you are using for the song -

you should make a cd and sell this song - I would buy it in a heartbeat - -

Keep it up buddy - you are frikin awesome -

one last question- are those stock pickups in the strat or are they replacements?

[CarrollGazette]

Beautiful man. Really cool. I agree with other guy, just couldn't think of Eric Johnsons name. 

[standingbeark]

enjoyed the video, for sure!

i also have a blonde 72 strat with a maple neck as well.

[Stevo4411]

wow dude...i can hear some eric johnson twang in this jam...loving it

[Fifti]

Very good job dude!!



[rickeygottheblues]

external 8 ohm cab with a 12 will give you lows and it will sound like a real amp instead of a toy radio

[HenrikBerger]

Hi @rickeygottheblues

I have a an external cab that I have used , but I found that the amp itself produces more than enough lows, unless you have to play metal, or other "bass" like riffs. I like that it pronounces the mids and highs, that way you can hear what you are playing. But thanks for the comment .

Kind regards Henrik

[emoh8765]

hi henrik ive just got a g dec 30 c can you please tell me what settings your playing your strat on with thanks david

[HenrikBerger]

Hi @emoh8765

If you scroll back in the messages below I have posted them twice ;) ... I hope you can find them, if not let me know and I will post again. The settings works great with my strat, but I found that you wanna dial less or more of everything if using other guitars ;)

Kind regards Henrik

[spakuloid]

Fantastic video and playing!!

[tellycastin]

Great playin, nice feel.

Bravo maestro.

[NHfiddle]

He's almost got the Eric Johnson tone. Beautiful.

[25maximumMBA]

Nice guitar

sound great.

[BullhornGuy]

Sounds great bro...thanks for posting! Love the guitar too. Send me a note if you ever think of selling it.

[markthompson24]

BEAUTIFUL....appreciate all of this inspiration...G-Dec amp how many watts...and is it tube or solid state..thanks

[HenrikBerger]

@markthompson24 Hi Mark

This is the 15 Watt version version, its a solid state amp, but if you dial it in just right,you can get some really great tones out of it;).

Kind regards H.

[HenrikBerger]

@fenderibo Hi there this is the G- 15. I now have sold that one and now I have the 30 version, which I find some what better.

Best wishes

Henrik

[penialol]

whats the scale that you play at first?

[HenrikBerger]

@penialol Hi There. Im playing a E- minor pentatonic scale, Im starting out in the fifth position and then continuing into first position in the 12th fret. so the run would be like this. E/10 E/12 A/10 A/12 D/9 D12 G/9 G12 D/12 G/9 G/12 B/10 B/12 B/10 G/12.... Then moving up to the pentatonic position in the 12th fret. Starting out from the d on the 15th fret on the b string. I hope you can translate the "tap". Hope this helps you out;).

All the best Henrik

[beantowntwanger]

Great tone Henrik! You're obviously influenced by Eric Johnson and it shows very nicely. Nice control of those slight bends and hybrid picking to get that violin-like sound!

[JeffreyCentino97]

Can this amp connect to other speaker cabinets?

[HenrikBerger]

@JeffreyCentino97 Hi. I no longer have the G-Dec 15. But I have the G-dec 30. and that amp can connect with a 8 ohms cabinet.

All the best

Henrik

[JeffreyCentino97]

@HenrikBerger Is it the G-DEC 3 30 amp that you recently bought? The one with the blue digital screen? or the original G-DEC 30? The new ones have lots of features and presets and you can tweak it up....

[HenrikBerger]

@JeffreyCentino97 Hi I bought the old G-dec 30, a friend of mine bought the 15 from me and I decided to opgrade to the 30... Yeah the new G-dec 30 looks cool;)

[mtcampbell123]

nice and chilled - thanks

[highmover88]

awesome o.0

[Nevigo]

Fedt spil.Yep der ER fede de G Decs ikk?

Tak for videoen ;)

[HenrikBerger]

Hi guys

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Im really glad you liked the video.

I have uploaded a few more, so go and tjeck them out if u feel like it.

[playguitarsolos]

Great tone and really great playing! I think I hear a little Eric Johnson influence coming through.... :) awesome! 5 stars!

[brennwatte]

Hello,

your playing is great, and you know how to make a Strat sound and sing!

Best wishes, Matze

[calamunci]

nice tone and playing.

[brinedase]

my gdeck knob is crazy it sucks i love the gdeck but when i try to turn the knob it skips like mad. and if i had a cord that short i would definatly f some stuff up. lol great video\

[worthound]

sweet

[Rhezoloution]

Very nice playing!

[chaffcombe17]

Absolutely brilliant playing, and very inspirational! I've just recently upgraded to an American Strat HSS, and have been doing a lot of research of a suitable amp (hence finding your video). I've finally decided that I cannot get what I want from just one amp and settled on a 2nd hand G-DEC off ebay for amp modelling, backing tracks, practice and fun, and a new Fender Blues Junior, for a pure tube vibe. Hopefully that should be a nice combination. Please post more!

[HenrikBerger]

Sounds like a great choice;) thank you for your kind words.

Best Regards

Henrik

[keegan141414]

smooth man. cool strat

[germadonna]

Henrik Great sound, I can feel it. Man keep posting!!!!

[blindpinkthunders]

Nice playing, can we have some more please?

[kromm37]

Well, finally went out and tried a G-Dec 30

yesterday. Right out of the box it blew me away! Turned all heads in the music store

my direction. Amp sold itself. Great work Fender and thanx again Henrik for turning me on to it with the video.

Impressed Again in South Carolina

[kromm37]

Very nice. Been thinking about purchasing a G-DEC30 and was checking out various videos of the amp in use. By far, yours is the best demo of the amps tonal quality. The song was perfectly suited for it. Again, very nice.

Impressed in South Carolina

[TaInHeYwOoD]

Hey Henrik, very good playing! Very catchy. But is this amp hard to figure out or get used to? It looks pretty complicated haha.

[master244]

incredible this, my g-dec 30 is comming tomorrow, but this playing is incredible 5*

I like your blue's vid aswell :D

[PabloMaffioli]

very eric johnson

[diabetesskate]

i am subbing because of this video. it made me leave my computer and play my 1972 strat

[bas9940]

Nice work bro. Your video is inspiring. It makes me want to be a better player!  Thanks.

[FaridSGZ]

Great sounds and good looking strat,check out my vid if you got the time, im using g-dec junior however.

[RafinaR1]

great tone and skills

[javier22772]

Hi Henrik excellent song you are an amazing guitar player man 5* Regards from Venezuela

[HenrikBerger]

Hi Javier

Thank you very much, greetings to Venezuela ;)

All the best Henrik

[c4eatr]

Henrik, Awesome stuff!! Youve inspired me to learn to play. Just bought a GDEC and a Mexican Strat. Thanks for posting this! I looked through the comments but didnt see what preset you were using?

Patric

[HenrikBerger]

Hi Patric.

I´m thrilled you liked it that much, here are the settings on the amp:) Remember to play alot, not just practice alot, all good music comes from playing, use your guitar as your playground:)

Ampsettings are as follow.

Amp type = Dynatouch4 Gain = 1.0 Amp Vol.= 7.1 Bass = 7.8 Middle = 10.0 Treble = 2.4

Compressor Off Timbre= None Noise Gate Low

And for effects I used the Tapedelay and the Springdelay ( Flutter 9.5 Brightness 6.0)

All the best Henrik

[c4eatr]

Thanks Henrik, Im still going strong. Playing all major and minor chords so far. My fingers are sore, but I cant get enough. I just wanted to say again that your music on this one video made a difference in the world! I had some Fender vintage noiseless pickups put in my Lake Placid Blue Mex Strat. Sound much better than stock pickups.

[starcops]

One word "SENSATIONAL"

[GuitarEd48]

Fantastic playing and sound,great amp :) could I use this amp also for blues? for exemple 12 bar blues with bass sample?

[HenrikBerger]

Hi GuitarEd48

Well I think there is a blues chart in it, I will check, and if there is, I will do a bluesvid:)

Best regards Henrik

[StevedMac]

Great sound and very good playing!

[HenrikBerger]

Hi StevedMac

Thank you very much, sorry for late response but have been out gigging :)

All the best Henrik

[HenrikBerger]

Hi Frogger4949

I have always used guage 0.10-0.46, straight up pair of ten´s, I am using Rockers at the moment, mostly because I got a great deal on them, I prefer Ernie Ball Slinky´s 0.10, those are great strings with good good tone, however these Rockers tend to keep the tone for more than one gig. Good luck on the 64... expensive stuff :).

All the best Henrik

[RossoNero7CL]

Very nice !

[quoc1vu]

what are your settings on the gdec?!?!?!

ive been tryin so hard to get this kinda sound but just cant get it for some reason!

[HenrikBerger]

Hi everybody

Thank you very much for the kind words, to you quoc1vu, I have postet my settings in a previous answer, so please scroll back in the text comments, and you will find it :)

Hope it can help you out.

All the best Henrik

[LetsEatRHCPs]

[edugplayer]

Congratulatios... from Brazil,

[guitardaze]

You sound just like Eric Johnson. Nice!

[Luknopfler83]

Really nice playing, indeed! I love what you made out of the "Metal Feast" preset on the G-DEC. Keep groovin'!

[knownonsense99]

You got it all! Technique, heart, playing from somewhere deep inside, great equipment and most of all TASTE! Thanks.

[jplong114]

Right on man, I loved it. Felt like I was watching Miami Vice or something. I don't mean that in a dicky way, just the vibe I got from it. Like I should have the sleaves of my sportcoat pushed up to my elbows. Keep rockin'

[HenroXdaHouse]

Woooohooo!

Really nice... i watched ur vid several times and cant stop listening ;)

i truely enjoy your style and timing!

Bwt: your guitar looks that amazing!

Big respect from germany

greetz hendrik ( but dont forget the d ;) )

[AlpineNInfinity]

BOOO you need a 1950s

[HenrikBerger]

If I only had the money ;) I am looking for a great 56,57, or 58 Strat, but they are very rare here in Denmark, but I have my eyes set on a 58, which sounded great... however I´m am thrilled about this old fighter, it really is very smoth and sounds awesome... show me yours 50´S Strat :)

[kriss52]

HI Henrik this is fabulous,very nice an ìntelligent soud and play thank you.

krissguitarobsession

[HenrikBerger]

Thank you very much, I shurely would like to record an album, let me know if you can get me a contract:)

Thanks again

Henrik

[bondman00794]

i have an original 1972 fender telecaster deluxe

[blakegamemaster]

that is beautiful! sounds like something you'd hear on the credits of a 90s video game.

[HenrikBerger]

Hi Louw91

I do indeed have huge respect for Mr. Johnson, and yes he is an influence, as is J. Hendrix, Y.J. Malmsteen, M. Knopfler, E. Clapton, D. Huff, J. Satriani, S.Lukather and ofcourse the man who got me hooked on guitar Mr. John Norum. But I have listened to many more guitarists, and "borrowed" the things I like from every single one:) .

[5150dallan]

nice playing. very clean and tasty.

[soxfan500]

Nice strat man!

[HenrikBerger]

Hi Guys

Thank you very much for your kind words, I will try to put up more videos in the near future :)

This is the smaller g-dec 15, and this is truely a great amp for practice, warm up and just fooling around.

For this song I have used the Pop settings for drums.

Regards Henrik

[s1914]

Awesome! Can somebody tell me whether this is the smaller or bigger G-Dec please?

[jeffedwards1969]

Hey man that was great! I like the sound, and technique. Nice Strat!

[fattyfinn]

Hendrik, you've got it... :-)

[lukebracegirdle]

Impresive finger picking !!!

[aweoig]

Very nice Strat!

[sirfur36]

you need to go to second life and get some gigs goin'. Great pickin'!

[stratorarious]

Great man....enjoyed it very much...very soulful :)

[clapt0n0wnz]

is that the g d-ec or g-dec 30?

[HenrikBerger]

Hi clapt0n0wnz.

This amp is the G-dec 15, same as the g-dec 30, but lesser watts, and lesser bandloops. I planning on getting the g-dec 30, so maybe in near future I will post a video with that one.

All the best Henrik

[worthound]

Holy smokes that is great! Fantastic tone. Very soulfull playing. What are your amp settings? Thanks for posting. Please record more. You rock!

[HenrikBerger]

Hi worthhound.

Ampsettings are as follow.

Amp type = Dynatouch4 Gain = 1.0 Amp Vol.= 7.1 Bass = 7.8 Middle = 10.0 Treble = 2.4

Hope this helps you out

All the best Henrik

[clapt0n0wnz]

great gutiar sound.. do you still have the stock pickups?

[HenrikBerger]

Yeah, the only changed on that guitar is the tuning heads, everything else is stock. ( It was the previous owner who changed them, and they work, so I just thought why fix it if it aint broken).

[Fenderman64]

Wow...simply great...Great tune, great theme, nice playing..
