Kings of Leon Closer Pickup Yell Demonstration

DISCLAIMER: My videos are of a home movie standard and are not created to distribute or illegally offer music. These movies are simply created to show the Youtube community how I play guitar. Any videos I make reduce the audible quality of the original track (Which I own on CD and will gladly prove the point) to a point where it would not be acceptable for distribution. No copyrights are intentionally infringed here.

Loads of people have been asking how I do the pickup yells in my cover of Kings of Leon's, Closer.
This video explains it as best as I could think at the time.

The cover video that sparked this demo is here;

Does this work with other pickups? Like p90s or single coils

[Edensadventures]

@justjoe032

It can. It's dependant on the pickup. Give it a shot!

sweet. i don't play electric, but i've been curious as to how he does that. do you know how to do that thing at the beginning of the song? like it's the intro and 1st verse, and i think it might play throughout the song.

is it just sliding/bending?

[Edensadventures]

@rahrahritaa

I'm assuming you mean the main riff of the song?

It's their bass player, he has a delay/echo effect on and then uses a pitch shifter to artificially shift his bass note up an octave.

Hope this helps,

Eden

Your display photo is two built men in singlets... Your comment is invalid.

[gerfetil]

your setup actually blows my mind

[Seagerash]

cool technique, great demo. you have a very sick amp and pedal board setup too. good work man

[Edensadventures]

@ubertasticmagic

In my mind the higher more trebly output of the Jbass would be a benefit for doing this, yes.

Yep basically you're trying to get the most output from your guitar/bass so the pickups are working harder and picking up like a microphone rather than just the small vibrations of the strings.

Give it a shot and video reply it to this one, I'd love to see how it sounds if you get it working!
