Pros and Cons of each guitar: Strat: pros: very comfortable to play, irreplaceable neck pickup tone cons: despite the 5 position switch, not the most versatile tones, tremolo bridge makes tuning unstable, especially if you play around with other tunings. Tele: pros: awesome tones in all positions, top loader bridge plays like butter, indestructible cons: fussy intonation on traditional 3 saddle bridges, string through bodies can feel rather stiff Les Paul: pros: amazing depth of tone due to combination of maple cap and mahogany woods cons: heavy, uncomfortable to play when sitting SG: pros: great upper fret access, comfortable to play, versatile tones cons: prone to neck dive

On a more technical note the Fender strat is easy to record because of its frequency bandwidth. It just sits away from other instruments reducing the frequency buildup that may have occurred. This also applies for live performance. You can hear it in the mix even at lower volumes.

Apologies, I guess at the end Darrell does give some tips for a blues tone. My vocabulary of guitar terms is lacking though. I’d love a video explaining what different effects or attributes of tone mean. Delay, chorus, reverb are easy enough but what I’d break-up, overdrive etc. I’m sure there are explanations on YT but I enjoy Darrell’s style and Canadian references. Feels like we speak the same language.

@theccarbiter 4 года назад

Keith Brown break up is pretty much the point where you just are barely driving the amp to distort, overdrive is just really light distortion

I’m currently attending classes at Berklee College of Music for Blues. I decided that I’m going to use my 1978 Applause, 2013 Dean ML79, (very bluesy,) my 2008 Jackson Kelly JS32-T, and my new Ibanez Artcore AS53. Between these models, if I can’t find the tone I’m looking for…something is off. 😊

Adjust your amp settings and you´re good to go. Oh and Vai played actually both his and Ralph Macchio´s guitar parts,minus the slide-guitar part which was played by Ry Cooder. Technically speaking,Vai defeated himself in that guitar duel.

I haven’t tried their telecaster set, but those look cool as well.

I've liked my Squier Strat since I bought it in 1986. I put a DiMarzio in the bridge, and still like the tone, many years later. I also have a Squier Tele with a set of Seymour Duncans that sounds pretty good, too. My lone guitar regret is the Epi Blueshawk Deluxe. I never used the notch filter, liked the shape, weight and tone, but it would not stay in tune, even with a bone nut, so I traded it. I wish I'd kept it and just bought a set of locking tuners. I also have an Eastwood Twin Tone with P-90s that sounds good. All I need to play like Joe or Derek is another 50 years of practice…

@StringsOfCrossroads 4 года назад

Locking tuners don’t really help a bad guitar stay in tune. They really just make strings changes faster. Most tuning issues stem from a badly cut nut. Some guitars just cannot be made to stay in tune, so you probably did the best thing by trading it and getting something that wouldn’t frustrate you to the nth degree whilst you poured money into it. What that guitar needed was a good luthier who could cut a proper nut!

I primarily play blues. I just bought a Fender Player Series Stratocaster from Guitar Center about a month ago, and then returned it last week. I preferred the feeling of my Les Paul's neck. The Fender was a great guitar, don't get me wrong. But it honestly didn't stay in tune that well. I had to re-tune it after just about every song, even with the strings broken in. I believe it may have something to do with the bridge. The tone was great though. I bought my Dad a 2001 MIM Fender Strat a couple years ago, and it stays in tune very well.

Hey Darrell, you totally missed minis, as well! The first time I played a Gibson Firebird I thought it was going to be a rock machine but the mini humbuckers are absolute perfection for blues. Hot enough to get great harmonics and grit but low output enough to pick up every nuance of your pick attack and still allow you to hear the wood of the guitar. I was never a huge fan of that shape but, as soon as I played one, it became hands-down my favorite Gibson. Paul Gilbert's latest Fireman with DiMarzio mini humbuckers he designed himself is a great guitar for blues and classic rock. Stay safe everyone. Cheers from Florida.

I play an epiphone Genesis made in the 70's. Great Pick ups fat neck and great pick ups. Yes lowered to the max. for some songs I activate the coil split. Fantastic guitar and you find them on reverb for a few hundred Euro. Important is the type of amp use (I use a vax AC 50 and a hughes and Kettner) Maybe important to mention, Les paul with P90 pck ups realy does the trick for the Blues. Thx for a great show Darrel. keep it safe and healthy.
