Great TipzNTrickz vid Euge. I'm a clean electronic pop playerr but I watch your Right hand, you waste no motion and it's very precise yet musical.. Great job.. I've learned a lot.. Thanx
Thanks! I struggle with the pinch harmonics, being consistent with them. Sometimes they sound great and sometimes not so much. I’ll get it. Appreciate the tips.
I have totally missed this video 😮 asked this stuff in the past and now found this while scrolling down your channel content 🎉 what a happy day 😅 Just finished installing 81/85 to my snow white e-ii 🤘
Hi Euge! Great stuff! I’d be interested in watching a breakdown of some of your favourite runs when soloing and maybe some good lessons for hand synchronisation, alternate and tremolo picking. Cheers!
Excellent tips as always Euge! I do a lot more legato in my fast playing these days as it sounds better and way easier to fly across the fretboard much faster than alternate picking. Can you do a lesson on sweep picking? That is one thing I still have to master!
I love the palm muting sound so much, I think I very lightly palm mute strings e a d g almost all the time. I find it as a great way to quite my " unclean " playing. After becoming a habit the picking hand automatically finds the sweet spot without thinking about it. Another 😎 video by Euge! My favorite pinch harmonix axeman = Billy Gibbons!
Damn I thought I had all the tricks figured out after 20+ years and here's Euge, teaching me something I didn't know! LOL! The thumb slide for the win. Also never thought about palm muting the higher strings on fast hammer ons and pull offs, that'll save some work on doing fast picking. Thanks for the video man, excellent work
Really great tips! I try to do all this stuff too. Some stuff I can do pretty good. It adds more dynamics to your playing, and makes you sound more "professional". A lot of our guitar heroes do stuff like this, and we try to sound like them. And yeah, it's something that you really can't teach, the player has to "feel" it. Years of practice will bring these techniques out. Also: I recommend a good WAH pedal for newer players. It will help you to be more expressive, but the trick is to not over-use the wah, or people will call you Kirk Hammett. LoL!
a couple of tips on how to hold your pick and pick slides would be great, I find it very difficult having consistency in the way I hold the pick between rhythm/lead/acoustic playing. Thinking others may have the same issue. Great vid as always, thanks for the lesson :)
I love the riffage you do and how it fits together, but i also noticed some agresive chordal work a octave up...when your in the flow you go up a octive and agresivly bend the chord i love that
I like them for anything. I’ve been using 81 & 85 since ’90s and I just feel very familiar with them. The tone is consistent, stays the same when rolling down guitar’s volume control, live with long cables there’s no tone loss, the lows are tight, the highs crispy but not ear piercing etc. I’ve done hundreds of studio sessions in my career from country to pop to extreme metal and they always work. At least for me. Sometimes I use passives but mostly the trusty old 81/85 combo.
Hey Euge , great video!!! And your finger strength is insane...haha...because I have 11 to 54 on my ltd and is no way I can do that ever. I will stick with my 9 to 42 on the sg and Wolfgang for now. Anyway you know I'm glad I subscribe to your channel cause it definitely is the place to be to get some serious guitar info.
Hi Euge great Stuff! I still need to decide between my JVM410H and Revv Gen 120...Really want a marshall bad! Since the one I had in 97...Luv that Marshall growl!
Appreciate your vids man . Wish you lived near by so we could jam. We'd tear some shit up. You got more skill than me tho but I can throw down on some heavy riffs . Gotta a bluesy style lead playing but not a shredder. You got some of those Zakk Wylde licks going on. Keep it rockin brother. Appreciate the tips and tricks too.
Hi! This was interesting and informative! I wouldn't have looked for that video, but I subscribed. 💡And now I finally wanna let you know that I know that you know where the freaking pick of destiny is... GIVE IT TO ME! NOW! 🤣
Really amazing video. I always end up with sentences like: you need to practice a lot! Fair enough. But your discriptions are very different and more helpful than every former try of mine to videoteach myself sounding better.
Awesome lesson. That arpeggio thing after the 15 minute mark sounded like Randy Rhoads. I’m wondering how you do this harmonic tap dance in between your verse and chorus sections sometimes. It’s like your playing a section for maybe a 3 count, and then it sounds like your tap dancing harmonics on two different strings for one count with 1/8th notes, and then break into the next section. It’s like in Van Halen’s Poundcake chorus. He plays the chords and then there’s a rapid fire harmonic break for one count. I’m trying to figure out how you and Eddie do those. I’ve always just kind of faked it but it doesn’t sound like either one of you in comparison. Any chance you can expound on that?
@@EugeValovirta230V that means that will be impossible to do the artificial armonics like you with my stratocaster that haves passives microphones... Seem the same armonics but isn't the same.
It’s a technique and gear has nothing to do with that. I do harmonics with my nylon string acoustic guitar no problem. Practise, practise and more practise. Do something 10 000 and after that you’ll starting to be pretty good at it.
Euge, if you record miced cab, than you should make your own IR using REACT:IR capabilities :) Just record one signal from DI output and match it to parallelly recorded miced signal using Tone Matching feature.
Gotta practise more man. You know when you do something 10 000 times you’re starting to be pretty good at it and if that doesn’t work do another 10 K😎. There’s no shortcuts.
Great video Euge!! About Pinch harm: are they more easy to execute if the strings are set high or low in the fretboard? It seems quite difficult if the string is about 3mm high at the 12 fret, it seems the string slaps the fretboard above 12 fret... if you can answer this... is it probably a matter of guitar strings regulation? Thank you so much for this video!!
Not really since you do the pinch with your picking hand so it doesn’t have much to do with how high or low the strings are. Obviously if the strings are really low then that usually affects the overall sustain quite a bit.
@@EugeValovirta230V right... so, this movemment must be soft, barely touching the string with the side of finger or needs more scooped action, pushing down the string while the execution of the movemment. My last question, i swear!☺️🤗
The first HELMET Album he does have a technique how he palm mutes and has this choppy percussive rhythm which gives that trademark Helmet sound. Can you make a video lesson how to get those Helmet rhythms because they are very cool how to get those rhythm choppy sound. Listen to all the helmet albums but most the first album is the best.
@@EugeValovirta230V yes check out helmet because i think he might have used a Gated pedal to get that rhythm guitar choppy gated effect but he uses very unusual chords voices with the drop D maybe
I always wondered, how all the guitar cracks managed to practice 8-10 hours a day, when they were kids? I hat to go to school, had homework and hat to go to bed early 🤔
By not going to school, not doing the homework and not going to bed early 😎. Kidding a bit but I had school usually from 8-15, then icehockey practices and then I played guitar(not always 8 hours / day😊). Somehow I managed to do homework as well but many times not. But I usually paid attention on the classes so I was pretty good in school. I even managed to get a Bachelor’s degree 😎.
