With all the stresses of modern day life, everyone needs to take a moment every now and then to chill out and relax...so in this effects pedal buying guide, we're looking at 5 of the best guitar effects for ambient guitar, helping you to create calming, atmospheric soundscapes!
A way of creating sonic textures and tones that don't sound like conventional guitar music, Atmospheric and Ambient guitar first originated in the early 1970's with guitarists and producers such as Brian Eno, Robert Fripp (famed for his "Frippertronics" delay looping), Daniel Lanois and U2's The Edge, later evolving with guitarists such as Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. This style of playing can be heard across a huge range of genres, from relaxation music and film scores, through prog rock and stadium rock, up to modern day pop and left-field experimental and indie.
We'll be looking at the best reverb pedals and best delay pedals (featuring the Strymon Big Sky & Timeline), the best volume pedals for guitar (featuring the Dunlop Volume X) and the best loop pedals (including the Boss RC-500). We'll also be showing you some of the most common guitar playing techniques in ambient music, including how to control volume swells and how to use an ebow. So if want to learn how to play ambient guitar, hopefully we can point you in the right direction with some of the best guitar effects to get you started!

@amirsommer1522 Год назад

I think its a song by Devendra Banhart and Noah Georgeson called “Rise From Your Wave” - btw really recommended ambient album

@digitalramyun 2 года назад

The opening piece reminded me of Chords Of Orion - that’s a good thing 👏🏻

@michaelcraig9449 Год назад

How do you know they are guitar beginners? Maybe they just want to learn more! Some people like to learn new stuff all their lives!

@arthurcanal5250 2 года назад

Impressed you managed to hold off nearly 10 minutes before playing a Radiohead riff lol. Great vid, need a Big Sky now!

anyone else who just put life on hold for that intro?

@jasonhudson73 2 года назад

Yes, but more so for that outro!

@DTGuitarTech 2 года назад

Another great pedal for ambient tones is the Gamechanger Audio Plus Pedal. Solidly made too.

@michaelcraig9449 Год назад

Yes I was trying to find out what ambient guitar is, compared to just using effects to get sounds. I want to learn more, I am not a beginner, just getting more into effects slowly.

@STRATMAN1969 2 года назад

For honorable mention, I really think you could add a octave pedal to this list .For me it's a must have for adding octave up angelic sounds, or lower octave ,for some synth tones .

@9Nails 2 года назад

Any suggestions for what octave pedal to get?

@STRATMAN1969 2 года назад

@@9Nails I have a few .Basically for different boards I have, and for different price ranges. For the price,and versatility, I love the EHX Pitch Fork .I have a Hungry Robot Monastery that has a cool feature that lets you click between two settings .For mini pedals I have a Mr. Black ,and a Hotone Skyline Octa ,both are great .

@peteywheatstraws4909 4 месяца назад

@9Nails I picked up a Donnor "Harmonic Square" for $35 new, free shipping. Very versatile, lot of different options other than simple octaves. I'm out of town right now, just a 4 track, working on songs. I use it with my guitar, octave down for my bass lines. It's worth having in your bag for under $50.

@@peteywheatstraws4909 I just finished a huge board that does Guitar&Bass at the same time. With a spliter, 2 volumes, 2 loopers. Went with the Mooer Purer Octave for that one $80 but has a lot of settings, and features. That Donner is a pitch shifter, have you ever tried using it to do D standard, or C standard tunings?

Sounded pretty good. You should check out Digital Guitars UK as he creates the best ambient guitar pad and synth effects on the Fender Tone Master Pro, Headrush and Boss GT 1000

@dreamcity7514 Год назад

What are some of the genres tyhat use ambient guitar? I am obsessed with the sound, but can never find anything to listen to when I workout, or want lyrics. There are genres like shoegaze, but they usually prioritize chorus over reverb.

@seangeeling 2 года назад

You mentioned the set up in a previous video too after using this guitar but never mention the guitar itself. I've never seen a Tele with tone and volume pots like that and middle pick up too. Which version Tele is this? Nashville in sunburst?

@PMTVUK 2 года назад

Hi, it's a made in Mexico Deluxe Nashville Tele with a couple of mods...it's had a Fender super switch added for a few more pickup options, and I've switched the knobs for 70's style witch hats as I think they look better! ;-p The new Fender Player Plus Nashville Tele's are pretty much the same guitar, so you've got the Noiseless pickups like on the Deluxe, but you get the extra switching options as standard on a push/pull tone pot. Great guitars, hope that helps! - Sam

@seangeeling 2 года назад

@@PMTVUK They do look better. I want some now! haha. Thanks for the info. BTW I started watching this channel thinking it was only a Dagan thing for months but your vids have been popping up in the feed and I appreciate the clear style. I love the beard too mate. Keep en comin! Maybe a Tele comparison vid would be cool. I have a Squier CV sunburst tele that I love, but I when I do upgrade I may go for the Nashville so I can get the Strat sound but keep the Tele sound too. Was going to get a black scratch plate to emulate the Jason Isbel one. Actually I thought that was yours. I dig it.
