KEYAN is a modern guitarist based in Adelaide, Australia who has made a name for himself in the guitar community through his RU-vid and Instagram/TikTok videos. KEYAN has exercised his musical assets to like-minded viewers across the world through his recent venture into releasing original music.
Following the successful launch of his debut EP ‘Gradient’ and subsequent singles ‘Pulse’ and ‘Arryhtmia’, putting that theory into practice has allowed KEYAN to take the reigns in both headlining and supporting monumental progressive metal acts such as Animals As Leaders, I Built The Sky, Caligula’s Horse and many more.
His cool, calm, collected and often educational approach towards his content has earned him over 15,000,000 views on RU-vid. Producing content for the modern guitarist, his main goal is to show how easy it is to create heavy music from the comfort of a bedroom, now going the step further to take it to the stage.
Yes and No. As a 37 year old who can afford the higher end stuff. It is reassuring that if I ever decide to sell off some or all of mine gear its nice to know it retains the value if its cared for. For me that is huge. Lately guitar gear has maintained a high return on investment . As far as playability anything above the entry level range is going to play just fine with a good setup from a qualified luthier or you if you learn.
Guys don’t give this guy attention, he hates on people that play telecaster and saying there racist when they are truly not Idk what this idiot is doing but he is most likely getting random friends to play on his guitar then edits it of him playing
Thx for the vid and the awesome sound! I love it! Does anyone know, how to get the sound to OBS studio? I am using a focusrite scarlett 2i2 4th gen. Get only the clean sound into OBS...
I also play trumpet in band which even though I dont enjoy as much as guitar I learned some valuable things If you really want everything to be in tune, you have to adjust for the key, once your root is in tune equal temperment throws you slightly off, so youd adjust the 2nd up slightly, the 3rd down about 13 cents, etc. [I think] And I learned to listen for waves, since ideally you want little to no waves outside of intentional dissonance Though there are ways to do this on wind instruments with valve slides and alternate fingerings you cant really do that on guitar [playing live] which sucks but I guess over time we get used to the sound of equal temperment anyway Sorry if something there was wrong
Thanks for the video, I was wondering if there were actually good sets for drop tunings since a lot of them seem to be unbalanced. Next time I restring Im gonna try the 11-60 for drop c from string source on my les paul prophecy, I have a pretty average picking hand so I can kinda get away with light gauges but the left hand kills it since my fretting goes sharp and I bend where I dont mean to, so these should be a lot better than my 10-52s
There's a lot of great insight in this tiering. Especially coming from a guitarist who is really familiar with the type of tones than Abasi, Rabea, Gojira etc.. are intended to serve. For me, I'm less of a high-gain, more quiet-loud, drone, noise, ambient. So I have Nolly for the gainier side, and that does me fine, alongside my physical amp for that, an Orange Rocker 30. My favourites are the Morgan Suite and the Toneking Imperial. I've tried Cory Wong, and liked it for the clean tones. Shout out to the clean tones from STL Tonality Wes Borland 'Borland' JC120 sim too. But, apart from Morgan / Toneking, I'd probably like to get Mateus Asato next. Unless they get Mk.gee on board, which would be awesome.
So, i agree as anyone would that the bar set by these younger musicians is ridiculous and advancement like this was not around in my day.. However, heres Rhetorical question from an older cat. will it be remembered in 20-40 years the same way EVH is remembered? These guys have technical prowess for days, but can they create something THAT enduring? .. I guess we shall see..
If you have the talent to play guitar, you have the ability to play bass. I Would like to see more content creators use real bass. I understand the overuse of Midi drums because not many of us have the facility to accommodate a real kit and what it would take to engineer such. However, grabbing virtual bass when you have the ability to play a real one just seems like lazy/ease of workflow ... Some of you good guitarists out there, yourself included would benefit from opening that door instead of "Look at the cool riffage" while the bass is just being a midi afterthought. Bass guitar is EQUALLY essential to all forms of metal as any guitar riff and/or tone... Not diggin at ya, just throwin a thought..
500 quid with no power supply and having to use your phone? Nah, come on neural. Tonex seems like a better option or even a decent tweaked cheaper modeller. Hotone, mooer, valeton etc. The Neural brand knows how to grab people with their slick marketing. Bravo. Great video tho dude.
Sounds amazing. Everyone has their own approach. I like using the EQ before the boost for the pre-amp (2 in 1 pedals work nicely as well, it’s just a matter of finding one that works well in tandem) and compression I use in different ways. I’ve noticed in active pickups, since they already have a lot of compression going on (along with distortion already having lots of compression naturally, which is why I’ve always loved passive pickups) but the only time I really use it more than it needs is when…well it actually needs it when I’m creating a tone with drop/transpose for stupid low tunings. But a post EQ is exactly what I love to find sculpt it afterwords as well.
This is awesome but at the end of the day I feel like low end informations really depends on the mix or genre of metal… now and days the kicks thump is comepltely cut out I’ve noticed with in a lot of mixes. Either way this is amazing thansk for the info
No need to go full shill mode for Neural...it certainly isn't a scaled down version of the qc. Not even close. If that was the case, it would be a hit and worth the hype.
