How to Mix Electric Guitar | Worship Mixing Tutorials 

Can you find all the movie references in this video? Comment when you find them!

You taught me lots here, even the safety stuff I never knew. Thank you so much!

For those about to rock, this EQ, I salute you.

Sometimes I find it helps to scoop 2 to 3dB of 2.5kHz out to help vocals come through.

Let's rock!

Hello! I know I’ve commented in your videos before; you can tell I’m a “fan.” Thanks again for all you do in these videos. They’re very informative and interesting to watch. Now, I was wondering if you can ever do a video of the basic rules of thumb when EQing and compressing instruments. For example, in this video you went over how to make an electric guitar sound good. It’d be neat if you can upload a video of ‘how to make ALL (the usual church) instruments sound good with EQ and compression.’ I know you have videos of that for drums, piano, etc., but doing a video like that with all instruments at once, especially in live soundcheck setting, would help us. Thank you!

Thank you sooooooo much sir! You are an amazing teacher with a lot of humour..God bless you richly!

when working with powerful 4x12 guitar cabinets it helps to lower 1kHz or oh, I also add a second channel and pan the guitar usually in one channel a little more and put a 0.25ms delay, it helps free the center of guitars and adds volume. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for these videos. They help me so much!

great video! glad I found this channel

This is great. Super helpful thanks!

First! Waiting for this! Thanks for such information. Really helpful. Also if you can make 'mic placement' video that would be really good.

Thank you so much for this video, so I just wanted to ask when mixing a guitar, what sound are you looking for? Would it be a low-mid, or in the highs?

Learned a whole lot. Let's rock!

I’m spoilt. My son plugs his Helix effects unit, stereo, straight in with compression, High and low pass filters applied. I just mix it flat and match his pass filters.

LETS ROCK BABY!

Lets rock

lets Rock!!!!!

How about when as a guitarist I already have an EQ and compressor on my chain, and I’m recording? Should I turn them off or apply everything over again post-recording? At least I, as a session musician, try to prepare my tone as best as I can before or while recording, is that recommended? Or should I do those things afterwards? Great video by the way!

Let's rock 😍

Your tips have been helpful, thanks for the opportunity to learn new things... I would also want to know how you handle an acoustics guitar.

Thank you so much, these are very useful tips........

Maybe it's me, but I feel like there were a lot of generalizations made in this video. I'll try and explain myself. 1). Boosting and cutting any instrument in any way- but especially noticeable in E Guitar- is a direct change to the tonal makeup of the intended sonic structure. In my humble experience, most issues arising from loud amps are gain staging issues, not EQ (But perhaps this is off topic). 2). Adding a hi shelf to any hi-gain situation will create incredible amounts of fizz and finger slide sounds if handled incorrectly. 3). The High Pass filter is a great idea, but if a musician is intentional with their gear setup it may or may not actually be necessary depending upon the environment of the gig. I just felt there were a lot of generalizations. No hate, just thinking.

Thanks James

Bro this has so helpful all of your vids.

A GOOD MIX TEACHING THNANKS FOR YOUR TEACH~!

Let’s Rock 🤟

What if you go direct in is that easier for the sound guy?

Thanks dude! Your video have all been a huge help. Could you maybe do a video strictly on compression? You’ve done a lot on each individual video but maybe do a video just about how to compress different things and why? I think it would help people better understand compression and how to use it. You could probably just edit together a video using existing footage.

I do not like mixing anything but let’s rock!

Really helpful. thanks so much!

exactly what u just did:)

Let's Rock!

Lets rock!

can you tell us what you did from 3:35 onwards the next few seconds?

Dear Sir, I have a question for you. If I fix guitar to Multi effect processor to guitar amplifier then what is the position that DI box should come???? Between Guitar and Effect processor or Between Amplifier and Effect processor????

Lets Rock!!!

Great vid. I can hear the difference in attack time, but what about the other parameters i.e. release, knee, ratio, mix.

What are your go-to pan settings.. Lets say in a case of a rhythm and lead guitar. Love your videos, take care!

I'm a bit late to the party, but thanks for this. I'm a guitar player at my church and also do mixing. Over the last few years it's become more common (for us) to run electric guitars in stereo (each player has two amps or amp models). Any suggestions for eq/compression of the same guitar with two different amps (eg Vox and Fender L/R). And also balancing two stereo guitars in a mix?

Hey thank you so much for these videos! Would you be willing to share your general compressor settings for electrics? How much gain reduction you aim for, ratio, attack/release? Thanks again!!!

Can you give me that multitrack, please?❤❤

Thanks for the tips.. Really helpful.. My question is, the guitars sound good through the recording as it's direct. Like in a studio. But I am really not loving how my guitar sounds directly through the PA system live. I'm using digital software running straight to the PA. Any tips on sounding better through the pa

How do you mix 2 stereo guitars in a live setting?

Oof. I'm having trouble figuring out release time for distorted electric guitar with semi-busy strumming. 4/4 straight rock 8th notes. Slow or fast?

Thank you.

Thank you!

Dear Sir, I want know that, when we set the GAIN for Vocal and all Instruments, should we get the volume level indicator to unity gain (0db green bulb) always????? For all mics, guitars, drums????

what if you are using Pre Sonus Studio Live 16.4.2? how do you address the electrical guitar EQ? Thanks

thank you

Thanks

Could you please explain how to mix music and vocal , so the vocal can be clear not over by the music

lets rock man!

Does the work for the global eq settings on the HX stomp for playing live?

Thank you so much for this video buddy! Can you tell me which software you're using ???

what is the name of the song in 4:33??

Is micing the amp the way to go or is it possible to go straight into the console? If so, do you have some tips for that. Currently going straight into board. It sounds thin and super distorted.

Great video! Do you pan your guitar mix?

What console are you mixing on?

Hi in your experience, is it polite to ask a guitar player to turn off/ remove his reverb effects so that the sound guy will handle that modulation part via console effects. Seems like the reverb in branded mix consoles are far better than cheap guitar pedals. I struggle with that part, seems it’s harder to properly mix an electric guitar if his orig sound is already filtered by a deep flood of reverbs. Thanks

We use the rec out on the amp, no mic.

Do you ever use the tube compression on the SSL?

What compression parameters are you using?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

😎😎😎

Let’s Rock and teach me🙋🏻‍♂️!!! 😂

SHOW IT ON THE MIXER SO WE CAN SEE

Old deaf rockers lives matter lol

Just like Han Solo haha Han definitely hurt first

What is your "go-to" compression ratio?

me when he bypasses and it sounds the same 2 me 👁👄👁
