How to Shoegaze - Short Demo

I made this in response to the lack of good shoegaze demos on YouTube. That's not to say this is the best there will ever be, as you can tell, but I feel it's a start if you're looking to get into playing shoegaze guitar.

Rundown of my gear/settings:
- Fender Jaguar Classic Player Special HH
- Boss Digital Delay DD-3 with all settings at "12"
- Boss Super Chorus CH-1 with "Rate" at "12" and the rest at maximum
- Roland Micro Cube with maximum reverb, tremolo, and gain on the "Black Panel" model setting

As I said, this works for me, but it may not be the sound you're looking for.

I'll either remake this video or do a follow-up where I explore other sound options for shoegazing, as soon as I get a clearer camera that doesn't have an obnoxious recording light. I'll also do it during the day so I don't have to cripple my playing to avoid waking up the neighborhood.

Subscribe for more. Eventually.

@MundayMotion I made this video six months ago. While I'd like to think my playing has gotten better, my gear nerdery certain has it. The improved version of this I uploaded is slightly less gear-oriented though.

@Strume42 It doesn't matter does it? As long as you're enjoying it and being creative.
