Hey Levi, thanks for commenting! Believe it or not, I started playing guitar at 12, but didn't get my first guitar till about 20, and that's still the guitar I'm playing today at 31! It's a Schecter Hellraiser Solo 6, and I love it! I actually made a video telling the story of my first guitar, which you can find here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E_kUVzzftiw.html But the short version is, I always had someone else's guitar to play growing up, so I never really needed one, but on my 20th birthday, my parents gave me a card with a bunch of cash in it, and dad took me to Guitar Center to pick out my own guitar. My Schecter has served me well, but some other guitars I like are Jacksons (maybe something like the Juggernaut ET6) or the Manson Oryx. What guitar do you have, and what are some of your favorites?
@@QuincyKane Hey Quincy, cool that you still had that same card in the video you linked! It was a very touching moment to hear about. I'm a very casual player, I started about three years ago with a beginner acoustic that I have in my garage somewhere. My first electric was a knock-off Strat I bought off an aquaintance for $40. It is an AXL AS-750-BK, not a very catchy name 😂. I still have it today hanging next to my black Yamaha Pacifica 611H, which I love very much. I don't have much experience trying out other guitars, but I know (at least currently) I prefer light, thin-necked guitars. Thanks for the reply 😎
Yeah, I'm pretty certain it's a bend; tabs can be helpful, but I prefer to look up live footage and use my ears first, as that combination tends to be more accurate and reliable. I don't really trust tabs unless they've been written by the actual artist, but I have used them before alongside the other methods I mentioned.
Yes, when I said "0 2 0 - 0 2 7", I was saying to play an open power chord on the 3 lowest strings, then put your finger on the 2nd fret to play a power chord there, and then later move up to the 7th fret and play a power chord there. So they're all power chords on the 3 lowest strings (tuned D -A - D); one open, one on the 2nd fret, and one on the 7th. I hope that makes sense!
Sure! It's a couple things: 1) the amp I was using. I was using a Vox VT40+; unfortunately, I don't remember the exact settings I was using (I haven't used that amp in a while), but some general tips are to leaving all the amp knobs at 12:00 (the midway point; not too high or too low), then find a distortion setting you like. Once you find a good distortion, turn the "Low/Bass" knob all the way down and slowly turn it up as you play palm mutes on the low strings of your guitar; keep going until it starts to sound a little "woof-y", then dial it back a touch. Next, the "High/Treble" knob; start turning this knob up as you strum all the strings. You'll hear the sound "open up"; keep going until the change in sound becomes less noticeable, then dial it back a little (if you go too high, it'll sound harsh). For the "Mid" knob, turn it up while playing a single string and try to find that "sweet spot" where it starts to have some "bite" and "punch". If you go too high, it'll sound honky; too low, and it'll lack presence. Lastly, the distortion; for heavy styles (like metal), I'll play a standard G chord and turn up the gain as high as I can while still retaining clarity in each note of the chord. You can use that same method, but might dial it back more for a rock style like this song; you just want a good "crunch". 2) the guitar and pickups. This was my brother-n-law's Gibson Les Paul (I'm not sure the exact model); I think the pickups were 60s Burstbuckers, which are humbucker pickups. The amp will have the biggest influence on your tone, but your guitar and pickups will be a factor as well. As long as you have humbucker pickups and use the method I described above, you should be able to get a solid tone with your setup! Hope that helps!
Thanks! I'm currently re-learning a song from BTBAM and I plan to make a lesson out of that once I have it down. I would love to learn another Native Construct song, but since they are quite difficult it may take me some time. I'll see what I can do though!
Quincy Kane Morris Thanks man ❤ I love your chanel and I wondering why isn't more popular, just quality here 😂 And love too BTBAM and Native Construct (NT is my favorite band) so I fell in love here with your RU-vid chanel. Anyway, thanks and i'll be waiting your tutorials 😂😂😍
I'm playing through a Vox VT40+. The amp has a few different distortions; I like to use heavier distortions and then turn the gain down. Here are my settings for that particular amp, but of course, you'll have to adjust for whatever gear you have: Distortion - US Hi Gain Gain - 12:30 Volume - 12:00 Treble - 4:00 Mid - 12:30 Bass - 11:30 Pick whichever distortion you think sounds best and turn it down a little. Do some palm mutes on the low strings and turn up the bass till you get some fullness, but don't add too much; it'll make your tone sound soft and muffled. Then, strum all the strings and turn up the treble till the difference in sound becomes less noticeable. Finally the mids; look for that sweet spot where the strings have a little bite, then just add however much gain you'd like. For metal, I'll play a standard G chord and turn up the gain as high as I can while still retaining clarity in the chord, but for rock you may want to do less than that. Hope that helps!
I'm glad it was helpful to you! I found this drum track on RU-vid; I'm not sure if this is sufficient or if you were hoping for something with a click track and bass as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fy6VGlraAhQ.html If this doesn't work, I'll see if I can hook you up with something more manageable!
