Me playing my Gibson SG special

[w1av]

Hahahaha yeah this video was from 2007 and I no longer have that little Frontman amp. I use Fender Super Champs now w/tubes. I got laughed at for having it too. From all my years experience of guitars, especially after owning MANY SG's there is not much difference in tone and sound amongst all the SG models. If there is a difference it is vaguely measurable. The Standard and Special have pretty much the same tone only the Standard is prettier!

[earthwormjimrules]

Rockin the fender frontman 15g dude. I had that same amp and it actually didnt sound tht bad but i get some serious hate for havin it. U reccomend a standard for 600 or a special for around 400?

[w1av]

I guess all the videos I posted on Youtube of me playing guitar are LAME and FRAIL compared to this GEM. This video is OLD and SILLY.....look at that hair....those glasses....white socks......and a Fender Frontman amp?????? This is awesomeness in its WORST form......

[orfmor]

Awesomeness.

[bsuite123]

It's the sock foot boogie.ya!

[HerpFreak36]

nice playing dude

[ke1mc2]

I agree. I have a les paul with 57's. Love the neck pickup. Change out the bridge to a Seymour Duncan JB. I have a Schecter with the sh2 and JB. Great sound! And just thought the JB was better sounding than the bridge 57. So I just experimented and put them together in the les paul. Frickin' great sound together. Love it!!!

[jchovanec1]

what kind of amp do you got

[allah211]

@jchovanec1 it looks like a fender frontman 15 watt.....i have one. Dont buy it, i bought mine used and its a piece of crapola.

[w1av]

Well that DOPE at Guitar Center ended up putting it in BACKWARDS.....I ordered a Seymour Duncan Jazz because I wanted something with more TONE and less output but in reality, the stock pup was almost the SAME. This guitar no longer has these pickups....I dropped in a set of P90's a few months back.

[smoss469]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone with a Jazz in the bridge, interesting!

[hitof76]

hi !! i love this blues !! and it's a very beautiful and good guitar. can you give me a tab of what you played, please !!!

sorry for my English (i'm french^^)

[w1av]

@hitof76 ......Sorry no tabs...just playing around noodling....just the 12 bar blues in "E"......I don't use tabs....I improvise only.

[moluke]

@hitof76 : Hello, en fait il fait juste un blues en mi super basique :

Genre un accord de E et il s'amuse a varier avec la 4eme et 5eme frette de la corde de A. Tu fais ça avec l'accord de E et celui de A, et normalement c'est bon. Après la rythmique je saurais pas te l'expliquer, mais c'est simple à trouver, faut que ça swingue. Et ensuite le solo, suffit de choper la gamme ^^

Bonne chance !

[SuperAdrian76]

Telecaster sounding on SG! AWESOME!!!

[w1av]

I played a Standard in comparison to my Special and the only difference is cosmetic...the Standard is a better looking guitar but essentially the same feel and sound.

[AlexPeavey]

Hey i'd like to know.. is the comfortability of the neck and frets between the special and the standard praticly the same? Not the special FADED now. just the special. Cose i have a special. i id like to know if the standard plays more well. im not talking about the sound , stricktly the feeling in your hands.

[NetZao]

Whats the name of the song?

[w1av]

@NetZao  The song is just a 12 bar blues and I am just noodling and not really trying to play anything much. This video is OLD....from 2007 I think.

[w1av]

I will tell you from my own experience that I have been playing an SG Junior with single dog ear P90 and it is the BEST ROCK SOUND by far. Humbuckers are OK but find them TOO THICK sounding. The SG Pete Townshend used to play back in late 60's early 70's was an SG with P90's.....I have no experience with EMG's....probably very good. If you have alot of money get the CLASSIC 57's......the BEST.

[Boooby]

Thanks man, I ended up putting seymour duncan blackouts and I'm very satisfied :)

[Boooby]

fuck man.. i'm torn between which pups to get , I have a 1961 re-issue sg and am into progressive metal/rock. I was thinking about getting emgs but I'm torn :(

[mcshanksta]

@Boooby in my opinion EMG's are too sensative. Unless you are into like DEATH DEATH DEATH metal, then maybe go for them. PERSONALLY, i think it will ruin the Gibson sound. But go ahead if you'd like. If you want to try it, go to your nearest Guitar Center and test the Zakk Wylde Gibson. It has EMG's.

[w1av]

That Tele was a nice guitar but it was sold last year. I still have the SG. PLEASE someone tell me WHY this video has 26,000+ views and I have some other videos BETTER than this one????? Why don't the people watch the GOOD ones where I am playing full songs and not NOODLING????

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

awesome sunglasses! And treble is good, you should have played that tele in the background

[666hectik]

i think it sounds fucking great.music is music and its never perfect unless your an asshole.great playing love the tone!!!

[w1av]

No I am keeping this guitar....and

sbvikings30 you LOOK like SHIT!!!

[sbvikings30]

those duncans sound like shit

[Me497]

did you sell that guitar to a Music Mill in Manchester NH?... i thing i just put it on LAYAWAY!!!

[w1av]

This guitar came with a soft gig bag, but a nice quality one. And Salesman said "Whatever you do, DO NOT USE TOO MUCH TREBLE!" But, the fool that I am, thought otherwise, and now I am the BUTT of jokes for countless anti-treble scrutinizers all over the world!

[unaibeasko]

what type of bag comes with it?

[carbfish]

hahaha omg!! to much treble hihihi..

are u famous or something ?? why u use sun glasses for... hehehe..

im just kidding with ya! u did ya best and that whats count.=)

sorry 4 my really bad english!

[w1av]

Alright thats it! STOP WITH THE "TOO MUCH TREBLE" already!!! I am sitting on a PILLOW because the CHAIR was HARD and uncomfortable. I am wearing sunglasses because the WINDOW had the SUN blaring in my eyes when I was setting up for this video....AND my SHOES were downstairs...jeez...gimme a break yous guys.....

[6557andrewg]

Too much treble, why the sunglasses, why are you sitting on a pillow and who stole your shoes?

[w1av]

OK OK Stop it with the TOO MUCH TREBLE comments!!!! It just SOUNDS that way cause I recorded this video with a crappy plastic Kodak camera....plus the AMP is tiny too....BE NICE like kramerstriker1 and say SOMETHING COOL about my MUSTACH or SHOES or somethin'....jeeez.....

[kramerstriker1]

haha, i got an sg for christmas

[GotTimeToooKill]

[kramerstriker1]

[w1av]

OH stop it now with the "too much treble!" And I do have a better amp!!!! Cut me some SLACK guys....this was one of my first videos and I didnt have it all together! (Not that I do now either!!!)

i have the same guitar trouble is when you stand up with it if you let go of the neck it falls down which is a pain. but it feels so nice to play. i think you'll agree

[swiebud]

nice guitar and blues feeling!

[UTgovols1001]

thx

[UTgovols1001]

i have a frontman 15g,but i want a new amp,any suggestions??

[safikada]

get a marshall mg100dfx... they are great :) they are loud as hell but its still a great amp.

[Rockab33]

Fender Super/vibro Champ XD (if your not metal) is one of the best for the price for jazz blues rockabilly and R'nR.

[mongooses7]

A fender blues junior with tubes

[geetarplayer11]

very nice dude! but man, a fender frontman 15g?!

come on, you should get a better amp lol

[w1av]

Haha!! I have a better amp upstairs.....a Peavey Bandit and it CRANKS. The Frontman is just a practice amp.

[757southernpride]

ski daddy from squal valley

[Plumpynuter]

you will fuck up your computer putting an amp on top of it. Nice playing by the way.

[w1av]

Hey! I was not using computer and just put amp up on top of it for this guitar video. I noticed this video has 7365 views....hmmm...wonder why so many people viewed this particular one? Probably cause I had my amp on computer?

[jernov]

Nice jam dude, And a great guitar :)

[12dennistimmer]

keep improvising,not only 3 bar blues.

your good

[BeyondTheMisery]

Im getting that exact guitar. i played it at the store in my town. im in love with it.

[rydster99]

Good work my friend.

Awesome playing.

[al0102030405]

Hey I loved it. That guitar sounds great.

[xdxproxdx]

as in your expression

[xdxproxdx]

nice jazz look

[juantheguitar]

awesome jam! =] dont listen to all those haters who have nothing better to do, they all talk that way cause they're jealous that you can play and they cant. and if they can, they just never learned how to appreciate fellow musicians. 5 stars for u =]

[molkhal]

by the way, you didnt choose the furnature

[w1av]

You bonehead!!! Of course I picked the friggin' furniture!!! I am a GUY!!! We don't know anything about home decor like the women do!!!! Glad you like my dresser!!! Bob

[molkhal]

Why would you compare your self to a toilet with a seat? toilet seat, blues-guitarist glasses..nah..just being a smart ass.

I never said that your furniture is good, or bad, either you didn't choose the furnature or simply bought it from a garage sale or something (no offence).

[molkhal]

damn no body comments on this video! left a comment 3 weeks ago and its still there! on the first page! man, why do you keep on looking up? does that make you feel cool? does that have a couple of your friends tricked into thinkin that? had a chick or two look at you, now you think you are THE womenizer??

[w1av]

Sorry for not commenting on these lame comments but I have been spending alot of time with my New Girlfriend who is also a musician so we have been singing and playing quite a bit. I keep looking up because I figured people would comment on that alone.

[molkhal]

why all the emphasis of the "girl friend"?

[molkhal]

*emphasis on the

[reaperflynn3]

What kind of pickups are those? alnico 490's? Are those good for hammer on pulling off and tapping? (though I am not a fan of tapping)

[w1av]

The bridge pickup is a Seymour Dunccan Jazz.....the Neck pickup is stock.

[w1av]

The pickup at bridge was replaced with Seymour Duncan Jazz pickups. The neck is stock 480/90 whatever the heck they are. These guitars sound fine outta the box. Tapping is ok I guess but I seldom do that. These guitars also went up in price too! I was in Guitar Center last week and saw them for sale for $799.......To be perfectly honest if I was gonna spend that kind of money I would by an Epi G 400 and PIMP the shit outta the thing. .

[reaperflynn3]

yeah i saw them as 699. they were 576 before? but i think im heading straight for the sg standard. probly get bustbucker pickups on it.

[MRWHITE3535]

the sg standard pick-ups 490R Neck / 498T the sg special, 4190R and 490T

[reaperflynn3]

I know.

[pbfreak99]

wow, dude that rockin. im trying to save up for one of these babies right now.

[molkhal]

why do you keep on looking up?

[w1av]

Whats up with the GLASSES???? You have to ask THAT question??? Get SERIOUS! A blues guitarist with no GLASSES is like.....uh....like a...a...OH! Like a TOILET without a SEAT!!!!

[TheChannelOfSwede]

what is up with the glasses?

[stephanoz]

Freakin` AWsome man loved it!

[gibsonlespaul2]

HeyY! Is that a Fender Frountman 15G?

[w1av]

Yes that is my little practice amp which has since been replaced by a bigger one. I picked up a Peavey a few weeks back.

[djm39481]
