  • their next video will be,"how to use your hand while writing"...

  • Awsome ending...

  • @pecky115 this is yamaha

  • I don't care what anyone thinks, this guy is good! He may not articulate what he's implying very well sometimes, but that is a small thing. Search the Tube for his performances and you'll see what I mean. He is very talented at not only the guitar, but bass, drums and keyboards. He does each one like it's his specialty, and that is a rare thing these days. These Expertvillage videos are just 101 level stuff for entry level people, and no more. He explains it so it can be understood.

  • @Crouton2008 you have a point there....

  • Wanna see instant differents? 1:05

  • @Zam0rak41 im pretty sure its a fender strat, really popular. i just bought one

  • thank you!

    

  • @rockme1337 The Tube Screamer is, in fact, a transistor distortion pedal. So, if you're pushing an overdriven amp with a tube screamer, it's distorted before it even gets to the amp input.

    And technically speaking, overdrive IS distortion. :P

  • Actually Overdrive is a better term then distortion... Distortion comes from a pedal.. but your best metal tones are going to come from pushing an overdriven amp (5150 or a Mesa) With a Tube Screamer.. Oh baby :)
