Dial In The PERFECT Tone On ANY Guitar! (feat.  

Been playing and teaching 40 years and I can't give her enough credit for keeping this video series simple so inexperienced players can learn. Thumbs up from WI.

Loving the lessons from Lindsay Ell! I've done a bunch of trial-and-error figuring out the tone I like on my amps, but this lesson gave real clarity to how to get to where I want to go. Thanks Marty and Lindsay!

A great lesson on amp settings. Good ground floor stuff. Just what I needed. Thanks so much.

Tone is a tricky thing but Lindsay has some great tips here. Using a compression sustainer can really help shape your sound as well...

Once again Lindsay knocked it out of the park, gr8 and precise lesson on setting how amps sound with different guitars, and yes it does boil down to what you like! I love the Guild, got one myself. Blessings Dave

Love the added teachings! Been a fan of Lindsay for a bit and your channel was one of my first subs! She's an excellent teacher and player! Thanks for all you both do!

Why do I feel like Marty is going to retire, and she will takeover the channel 🤭🤭

This was the exact video I needed right now. And I'm not trying to brown nose here. I picked up a Fender Blues DeVille last week, (it's my first tube amp), and I had been cluelessly chasing the right tone on it since I plugged it in. This video lesson was a huge help! Thanks Marty and Lindsey!

I have been waiting for this lesson for about three years. So stoked.

I could watch your tutorials all day Lindsay...so well presented🙏

Sounding great Lindsay. I have a female guitar student that just loves you. You inspire her to play guitar.

another trick I like to use with humbuckers is to dial in a bright tone on the amp, then roll back the tone knob on the guitar just a bit, juuuust until you manage to mellow out the bright picking sound on your guitar.

This is an important video for me, especially someone who's on a budget!

This is a great lesson.

Could you do a "I Need My Girl (The National)" tutorial please?

Awesome straightforward advice! Thx!

How you doing Lindsay? Your show is right on time for me because I just bought a strat and a fender mustang 25. This is my first amp so I hardly now what I'm doing. Thanks so much and Marty doesn't know how good he's got it having you. Lol

Great lesson! Thank you.

This was very helpful thank you so much!!

Another practical, applicable lesson from Lindsay. Thanks E.

Always a thumbs up for Marty, but I wish I could give a few more, just because she is so talented, so sweet, and dang, she is so cute.

You should do a lesson for all the songs from the simpsons episode with sadgasm. Its called that 90s episode

I can’t be the only one that heard “my heart will go on” at 3:58

Great video! I just got a Deluxe Reverb Tone Master a few weeks ago and while I love it, I'm kind of obsessed with the different ways to dial them in. I heard that the EQ controls for a Deluxe Reverb are reductive, similar to a guitar's tone knobs, meaning that a flat setting would be with Bass and Treble at 10. What do you think?

There's a lot of ways to dial in tone. One thing I've learned is that tone is an extremely fluid thing. Meaning that your settings depend greatly on the current situation. For example, I found a really nice tone at quiet bedroom volumes, but once I turned my amp up, I really had to dial the bass down quite a lot because at higher volumes, it was sounding a little too thumpy, whereas lower volumes it sounded nice and full. If your tone is too harsh and hurts your ears, then you'll want to turn treble down. If it sound really honky, then you probably have too much mids, if the low end sounds really flubby, then you're using too much bass. That's usually my method. And never ignore presence dials if you have them. They can help you cut through without making your guitar sound harsh like treble does. I often have higher presence and low treble.

this is the first time I've ever heard a woman on facebook talk about guitar, and I think I just found my soulmate.

I’ve been looking into eq a bit already, and a few things I’ve found, some metal heads like scooped mids, but Lemmy of Motörhead is not one of them- bass 0 mids 10 treble 0. Angus of acdc has the afore mentioned flat eq- specifically Bass 3, mids 3, treble 3- boosted via a Schaffer Vega wireless system, original (let there be rock to back in black tour), replica (from solo dallas on the rock or bust your), and replica tower (also solo Dallas, used on power up), (not sure of boost or gain settings, got this from premier guitar on their rock or bust tour, for power up, don’t know snap either), hi sensitivity Marshall plexi or jcm , railing on super light EB slinkies on a Gibson sg. but for the most of the ac/dc tone, look at Malcolm. The beast is a semi hollow Gretsch duo jet with only the bridge pup, bypassed tone and volume. As for the amp, Mal (and Stevie now) use a super bass, and while I’m not sure of the specifics eq, it’s low bass, mids a hair under halfway, and hi trebles. And here’s something to pick up on-the sloped eq helps bring out the bass player (nowadays Cliff Williams). As for the tone, which makes the bulk of the bands sound, it is really clean-lo sensitivity-but Stevie and Mal rail on Gibson nickel 12 gauge power cables. All use fender (extra?) heavy Picks, and Stevie buzzes through half a pick per song. Mal has been reported on at least one forum ( I forget whether it was an ex guitar tech or a friend of one) to go through around 30-50 per show (definitely more than 1 pick per song).

Great video thanks my starfire now sounds bright and shimmery

Thank you Lindsay for the lesson to dial in the perfect tone on any guitar. Appreciate it!

I have a semi-hollow body and I just learned a lot from this, thanks y’all!

Thank you, Marty, for introducing me to Lindsay. Became a fan from the get go- she's suoer talented and has a ton of charisma. Cheers

Great lesson , this is something no one has ever taught me

Well if you play at home, just for your ears you can dial in what you like. But in terms of song mixing or performance with a band, you should forget about what you like and dial in a tone that works for a band as a whole. So at the end you can end up with a tone that you don't like, but it works for a song or band.

Marty, I have always loved your videos. Lindsey Ell has been another great idea, keep up the good work!!

Sweet tones and playing! Love those Fender Deluxe!👌

Thanks Lindsey! I’ve got an old Princeton 65 and struggling to dial it in. Think it is too much for a small office space.

Thank u Marty for helping mr play songs btw my parents got me a guitar because u taught me a bit

Where do you have your volume and tone controls on the guitar at when you dial in tone?

My 8 year old daughter plays piano and now wants to play electric guitar. She loves Eric Johnson and Lindsay Eli videos. :)

Ok, I'm sold. I want a Fender Deluxe Reverb now!

Great video! I have the same amp and love the tone. What's your opinion on the difference in tone between this amp and the hot rod deluxe? Thanks

Can you please do a lesson on I’m going home Woodstock version??

What type of guitars does she always paint ? Fender squires ?

Please make a lesson for Alexander the great by Iron Maiden

That Guild is straight up butter.

Lindsay Ell: Strats have single coils and spud clean bright and crisp. The H H floyd rose strat in the corner: ._.

Excellent video. Do you have a video on how to shop for a good used amp? I'm new to this, thx

Can someone tell me the difference from Marty music and guitar gamz? He’s on both. I want to learn guitar now that I’m stuck at home. Please advise. Which one has beginner lessons?

Thanks Marty, this helped a lot.

What song is she playing in the beginning? Plzzzzz

Thank you ! Great video. Can you tell us a liitle how to tune the strat nobs and the pickups selector to get them sound like they sound so bright on your solos ? Thanks :)

I have the exact amp. It’s such a classic.

I love this series with Lindsay Ell. Keep it up😊👍

Beautiful that is one absolutely stunningly gorgeous... strat.

Marty the type of guy to tap when playing Johnny B. Goode Edit: seriously tho good video it helps me with a cheap but ok amp

Broken heart by Eric Clapton plzz marty

I like the sound more on hollow guitar

Hey Marty! I’m just going to start spamming your videos requesting Brandy by Looking Glass whenever I get the chance. Thank you for the excellent instruction - thanks to you I now have a repertoire of maybe 10 songs I can confidently play at family and friend campfire gatherings - love it and will continue to work on my skills with all of your help!

It's the funniest thing being a seasoned guitar player - because when Lindsay Ell gives a lesson, I feel like an 8-year-old kid again & my mother is talking to me

Lindsay El, wow! Thank you. Thanks Marty for sharing!

Was hoping you'd do this video soon

Hey 👋 Marty I have fret buzz its really annoying can u make a video how to remove that sound and can’t use trust rod because i have a classic guitar can u give tips on that plz i would really appreciated

Its sounds amazing 👌👌

Question for the Strat tuning. Are your tone knobs at 5 as well? Thanks for posting!

Hey Marty are you planning to release the second tutorial for iron man by black sabbath I already finished and learned you first tutorial now all I need is the solo but no one teaches the way you do and i think that that's something we all here agree on.👍

Great video!

Question: What about the tone control on the guitar. Where did you set that? All the way open to ten? Or did you dial it back to a lower number? Thanks.

This also has a lot to do with the cabinet you're playing as to what you're dialing in. Open back and it's ambient sound that fills & surrounds. Open backs tend to also accentuate the treble, mids & bass suffer that and it's why she added bass and lowered the treble. Closed back and it's a punchier bass. With the Closed back, that punch with reverb growl sustains and the illusion of more bass results. Speakers also have different voices because they all aren't the same design specs for voice coil length, magnet size, and so on. The reason the SG & semi-hollow were dialed as closely as they were, the humbuckers are very similar for what they have for resistance and tone. Don't try to play Metal on an open back without humbuckers, that's a chore and it's never going to really be that Swedish Death Metal sound. I've tried to get an open back to sound as close as possible to a closed back cabinet. It's frustrating, but that's not to say that an open back won't sound great, you'll just sound like Tom Petty for Rock & Roll.

Here’s how you dial in the best tone! 😃 Never mind... It’s actually up to you! Good luck! 😕 My tone still garbage 🗑

Hey Marty and Lindsay, is there any good rule of thumb for when to use the guitars eq control over the amps?

What song is that in the beginning sounds awesome! :D

Helpful😁

This is a good video for me, I've always seemed to be amp tone challenged...lol

There are only to people on RU-vid I like @Marty Music, and @Lindsay Ell👍🙂

Yeah my Marshall JVM 410H has a LOT more knobs than the Deluxe Reverb. But none of them go to 11.

Outside of 70's solid states, it's really hard to get BAD tone out of any Fender amp. Maybe look at how to dial in good sounds from a late 80's Crate. 🤔

You are amazing! would you teach us the chords you are using please..... thank you!

Such a beauty! The guitar 🎸 😉

NO!!!!!! I have never wondered why so many people say they want to learn to play guitar but very few end up learning - please RU-vid STOP showing me this ad, its been MONTHS!!!! I've been playing guitar for almost 40 years, and while I'm not great, I'm not going sign up to this course, how many times do I need to skip this Ad before you show me something else? . . . Rant over, now to enjoy Lindsay Ell

Is that Guild a Semi-hollow or Full-hollow?

Why no mention of Guitar tone and volume settings ????????????

Can you do last resort by papa roach next but super easy

Can you make a tutorial on Chris Kläfford's Cover Of Imagine?

Hey marty can you make dont look back at anger solo tutorial

can you teach us how to play november rain marty

Can you do high Tolerance by Ameer Vann next thank you

That's a crazyyy guitar

Title should be: Dial in the perfect CLEAN tone on SOME guitars...

this guitar is handmade ı think... beatiful guitar...

Lindsay Ell has her own RU-vid channel and I don't see any Marty Schwartz videos on there. So why do I keep seeing Lindsay Ell videos on Marty Schwartz' channel?

But we need to appreciate this guy Providing us some quality masterclass that too at no cost 🙌

I think I’m in love.

I want Marty

Loved It!!!

She’s an awesome guitar teacher. Being pretty doesn’t hurt either.

I will dial in WAY more.

Awesome!

Sweet f'n guitat too.

Marty can you do more bass tutorials
