I've been to a Mark Knopfler concert and he didn't flick the pick. Maybe he doesn't know the right technique?

@senorfrio 3 года назад

He doesn’t use picks. He would be literally be throwing his fingernails.

@tristanmatthewwhite3601 5 лет назад

Just one thing to add re: truss rod adjustment. Always ALWAYS loosen it first. Just in case it is already as tight as it will go, you don’t want to strip or worse, snap your truss rod. 🤘🏿

@BrandochGarage 5 лет назад

Yeah , tried flicking the pick at my audience, but my kids weren't impressed... At least they didn't cry, so that's a bit of a victory.

@TotalEvo7 4 года назад

Piece of advice: When you're setting up the amp's EQ, and when you adjust pedals, or any piece of gear, make sure you're in the middle position of your guitar, for a couple of reasons: one, it's the middle ground of your pickups (in other words, both pickups are active, or for a Strat the middle pickup is active), and two, if you do a lot of pickup switching, you want to have a sound where all the pickup settings sit well with the amp and the gear. Also, tone at 9 (for those with audio taper pots), so it's not shrilly but it has some clarity. If it sounds good in the middle position, more likely it will sound good in any position.

@steevkelly 5 лет назад

the way i learned to intonate was with alliteration - if the note is too SHarp then the string is too SHort

@brotendo 5 лет назад

steevkelly And if it's FLat it's too FLong

@lewisbulled6764 5 лет назад

I use something similar - FFF (fret, flat, forward)

@backfire_station 5 лет назад

If it’s SHarp, the string is too SHort. And if the Fretted note is Flat, move the saddle Forward. Simple and easy way to remember.

@rdmkeytohwy 5 лет назад

Your tip for setting up an amp for the guitar and the room you are in was very helpful. I have never heard it explained that way before. RJ's jazzy licks while you were doing that were really tasteful and impressive. You guys are both cool!

@rohankhemraj 5 лет назад

I love that amp eq trick, it works great...If you really want to geek out... try playing with the duncan amp tools tone stack calculator. It gave me a better understanding of some common circuits.

@MarkPritchardGuitar 5 лет назад

The pick flicking is the best tip in the video by far :) I can see a series coming for this alone.

@drutgat2 5 лет назад

Great tips, and great to see R.J. on here. I have seen a couple of luthiers say that you should look at the neck from the playing position in order to assess the degree of straightness / curvature. Apparently this is because gravity will skew the true state of the neck if you turn the guitar so the neck is facing upwards, like R.J. does at 2.16 here.

@themordan 4 года назад

It's basically how I was taught to use mixers and effects as well so it makes sense that amp setting technique would work well in pretty much any environment

@zackguitar07 5 лет назад

Hi Rhett, related to the EQ dialing, could you please do a video about setting your tones for at-home playing vs on stage? I tend to do shows where there are too many bands to allow a sound check and end up taking a few songs before I finally get the tones I heard in my head during rehearsing with my band at home.

@benodaboy 5 лет назад

The way you tuned the amp is the same way that you mix audio. It's easier to hear small changes up rather than down. I never thought to use that on an amp eq. Thanks

@hearpalhere 5 лет назад

Haha, this was awesome! I love the Black Sabbath t-shirt and the useful tips. I'll be honest, I'd never given much thought to the pick throwing technique. I wonder if that is what has held me back all these years from critically acclaimed success?

@ricardorodriguez5549 5 лет назад

One thing that wasn’t mentioned in the setting up amp EQ was the news to dovetail with the bass player. Does he love the low low? Then, dial YOUR bass down. Does he love that treble? Dial YOUR bass up Midrange is our home habitat as guitar players and since our instrument is so flexible sonically it behooves us to work with our band mates:)

Rhett, you seem like the kind of person I'd love to jam with, just to see where you'd go over some of the chord changes I've never heard someone solo over. Just thoughts to ponder.. Great videos regardless!

@DJC955 5 лет назад

Don't forget to unhook the snares to get a clean eq setting.

@EphICanIMite 5 лет назад

Go with a Soldering Station, not just an Iron. You can adjust the level of heat depending on the size of wire/eyelet needing soldered and a Soldering Station will hold that heat level better.

@jakobstumpf391 4 года назад

So awesome you guys are together in vids. BUT i disagree with "buy cheap cables that you'll just resolder". A lot of cheap cables break in the middle of the cable and then they're useless. Getting great 1/4 Jacks and solid cableware by the foot is how you get great cables for cheap money. I learned a lot from the rest of the video though! Great stuff Rhett and RJ...you guys are legends.

@mikeburstein7755 5 лет назад

The distance from the nut to the 12th fret should be equal distance from the 12th fret to the point the strings go over the bridge, contact point. Its really that simple.

@taopagan 5 лет назад

Not so sure about that...I've heard that that is the formula to determine a guitar's basic scale length. But as regards setting up a guitar, I think there is also something called compensation and it is also a factor. I think it has to do with how, as we move up the neck, we have to stretch the strings exponentially more in order to press them down against the frets. Also, it seems, more compensation is required for the thicker strings than for the thinner ones. I'm not an expert, but I suspect there must be a need to compensate for some sharpening, more so the thicker the string, as we fret notes up the neck. Otherwise, why do we slant the bridge, for example, on an acoustic guitar? Why not make all of the strings exactly the same length?

@onlyrick 5 лет назад

Whatsa matta, RJ - Can't find an amp that goes up to 11? Good stuff, guys, you should start a band. By the way, I had to watch this with one eye after being hit with a pick (.88mm).

@AmandaKaymusic 5 лет назад

Over unders. Yes. "Please don't help" is something I tell people who don't get this. Multicores are unforgiving. Letting beginners know where and how to adjust truss rods is a dangerous thing. Guitar techs are a safer idea. Getting a new guitar looked at by a trustworthy luthier can sort out heaps of issues. Dressing frets and adjusting truss rods and saddles and intonation is a real skill and best left with people who do this full time. The magic spot in a warned up valve amp is such a sweet place to sit it can make my skin shiver. Flick the pick to the cute guy in the third row, The click your fingers flick gets better distance...Thanks for an entertaining commentary.

@eugenemccool3579 4 года назад

Tip/FYI: If you “lengthen” the string, when you are adjusting the intonation, you will cause/make a kink in the string, that will not allow the string to ring the same as when it has no kink/true. And, when you put a new string on, you’ll have to re-adjust your intonation. But, it should be fine, then. Because, you’ll, more than likely, be “shortening” the string. And, any kink will be on the non-ringing side of string (“behind” the bridge).

@robbie_the_guitarist7277 5 лет назад

9:05 “there’s a special technique on how to flick picks to the crowd” Watch Me Flickka the Wrist Hoo!!

@wilson4180 5 лет назад

I tell people about the amp thing all the time especially with fenders. Another thing I say is guitars don’t have to be on 10 all the time. 10 is the highest you can go and only can go backwards from there. It’s like starting to climb at the top of a mountain. Just because you have 10 levels of volume doesn’t mean you have to use them all at once, save 10 for when it counts.

@alejandro.rondon 5 лет назад

ASA bassist I can only flick the finger ...but I do get some beer bottles in return !!

@alejandro.rondon 5 лет назад

On a more serious mode, for quick check of neck relief, I put the bass or guitar in playing position, left hand in first fret, pinky in the fret over the neck joint. Index fretting 12th fret. And then just judge how much the string must go down before fretted

Play guitar as a hobby and solder all day repairing autopilot systems on old aircraft... yeah I work on tube amplifiers used in autopilots. I have been using Hakko soldering irons for years. Used Weller for 15 years then we replaced all 50 at the shop with Hakko, including their power solder suckers. Never been happier with an iron. Hakko is the shit now.
