  • Like the vid but why not use a volume pedal

  • @phxpilotguy I don't use a volume pedal for several reasons: My guitar already comes standard with a volume knob, no need to buy a $50-$100 pedal. Pedals take more movement and effort, it's just physics. Theres more range of motion on a pedal. You will never be as fast with a pedal as with the knob. I don't care who you are.

  • @AJfenderbender You couldn't be more wrong. You can also do more with your right hand picking wise and get the fluctuating volume sound without being forced to do a constant down picking motion if you had a volume pedal. You're simply limiting your playing so you can seem like a big shot who is good enough that he doesn't need one. The simple fact is you can do MORE with one.

  • @Griminal Dude, whatever. Show me your video where you can play volume swells with your FOOT faster than I can play them with my hand. I also don't think that my picking hand is limited at all, thanks. I don't think, and never have thought that I'm a "big shot". I was just sharing. Lets see you share.

  • wow amazing!

  • someone has scalloped frets...

  • that guitar looks like the one used by yngwie malmsteen :bd

  • badass

  • @AJfenderbender You summed it up PERFECTLY when you said "Let's see YOU share" YouTube is FULL of all these rock stars who run their mouth and are quick to critique, and "share" their opinion, no matter how unfounded it may be. But RARELY ever post videos of their own self proclaimed awesomeness (eye roll) As for the video in question, great tone, great technique. The violin swell is something I'm still trying to wrangle. Thanks for sharing!

  • wnhjqdkqwdn amazing shitt !!!!! amazing jajaja i play the violin and the guitar and now i see that it was a waste of time ajajaja

  • @raffefrank you dont really think that malmsteen invented this? hes amazing and all that but he didnt invent this technique

  • u talk like u invented this technique, kinda sad. long live malmsteen

  • Really cool video man. Thanks for this.

  • Would this work just as well if you have a 'treble bleed mod" in your guitar? Would it work better with the mod or worse?
