Kinda disagree on him. I do try to reach out and discover more trems than just Floyds, even though I'm most at home on them, but saying that his rusty 6 point dinosaur is better than a Floyd is objectively wrong because a Floyd was designed to take a serious beating, a modern non locking 2 point is even better sometimes, a vintage Strat trem is meant for soft vibratos and not divebombs (my old 93' Japanese Ibanez RG stays in tune better than 2000-3000 vintage specs Strats I tried). As for humbuckers, I'm kind of in between, I like both for different things. I have guitars with basically almost every pickup configurations but I left my Strat with 3 single coils because that's what imho it meant to be. For stuff that's heavier than Deep Purple I only use humbuckers, but sometimes I split them for interesting sounds.
It's all personal taste-Though I am not fan of Floyd's myself. I also agree that generally speaking single-coils do create more clarity and better harmonic response in the notes you play, and that humbuckers can lose that clarity, and get muddy. However, you have other elements that contribute to the overall tone: I.e.: Wood, Pedals, Amp, Etc.
Lord Humungous how easy are Kahlers setting up and restringing/tuning? I’ve always wanted to try one since a lot of my favorite guitarist use or used them like Jerry Cantrell, Dave Mustaine etc.
I want to know what Kings Field thinks about what Corey Taylor thinks about what Lars Ulrich thinks about what Yngwie Malmsteen thinks about Floyd Roses and humbuckers?
Malmsteen has every right to his opinion. Van Halen did the exact opposite, using a Floyd and a Humbucker. Seems to get a pretty good tone and and doesn't seem to have any regrets.
He does get a little goofy with statements like, "All the harmonic response is in the headstock." Yngwie, baby, please.🙄 However, even EVH said that switching from a Fender trem to a Floyd was a compromise in tone for better tuning stability. Personally, Floyds sound tinnier to me, too. I don't think he's completely wrong, it's just a question of whether you'd rather trade a little tone for tuning, or trade tuning for a little tone. Personal preference. As for the humbuckers, Yngwie has used them on a limited basis throughout his whole career, to this day! Further seeing, his single coils are humbucking anyway! I think he just speaks in hyperbole all the time. I mean his entire essence is drama. The music, the attire, the personality is all over the top. It's not out of character for him to exaggerate everything he says. He can't just say he prefers single coils to double coils, he has to make it sound like double coils are the worst idea since chocolate-covered ants. But even he can't resist the allure of a Les Paul with PAFs or a classic Flying V, of which he owns both.
At first i got mad at Ritchie saying Joe is souless. I’m a Joe S. fan. But when i heard Ritchie’s interview, he has a point- those accidental notes, mis-timing or small mistakes, makes the sound human, and memorable.
“All the harmonic response is in the headstock”. 🤦🏼♂️ Also, he doesn’t like humbuckers because he says they’re “muddy” compared to single coils. Stop living in the past Yngwie. That may have been true 40 years ago. But certainly not today. First of all, a “stacked single coil” is NOT a true single coil. What you have there champ is a stacked humbucker. By “bucking the hum” with a dummy coil underneath you have just defeated the whole true single coil sound. The magnetic window is only a small part of a true single coil sound. Not the entire story. Try a Seymour Duncan Full Shred or Screamin’ Demon or Pearly Gates. Or even a Dimarzio Humbucker From Hell. Those pickups tone slays any vintage or modern true single coil pickup and the lows are even tighter. I’ve loved Yngwie playing since Alcatrazz. He knows the fretboard inside and out. But his opinions about the harmonic content being in the headstock and humbuckers being muddy make him sound like a typical kid that reads something on a guitar forum by some other kid and takes it as fact.
@@DiminishingAugmentation then my little lego arm totally wields the pee shooter ray gun with a plastic led and nails you, then my plastic smurfette comes and cheers me on, , ,, but then when you totally got the gi joe sky raider my cobra la serpentor and golobulous totally quote clash of the titans in burgess meredith voice and inlay your blockbuster with rad consequence, but your tiny guys totally butt plode all over themselves with the neutron they were preparing to launch in retaliation. . . .. kinda like a kid but kinda not just what yall are and stuff . . . long live YNGWIE!
The stacked single coils sound more like a single coil to me than a straight humbucker. Might not be the same exactly as a single coil, but it's not the same sound as a humbucker either. Those humbucker you mentioned sound nothing like anything close to Yngwies sound (maybe if you split them), so you're really just recommending your own preference. I suppose it gave you an opportunity to correct him though 😉 I get the sense that was what's really important to you.
All these musicians are not bad guys( maybe personally who knows) , but as in general they have a right to an opinion..about either guitar tones or guitar players.. like Yngwie only playing single coil and someone like EVH or Zakk Wylde playing mostly humbuckers..so we get different soundscapes... different music.it's better if everyone has their own opinion on certain things otherwise music in general wouldn't be appealing at all..
“All the harmonic response is in the headstock of an electric guitar” , he’s gonna be really pissed when he finds out about headless guitars also plini would disagree with that statement
I mean Guthrie uses one without a locking nut so yeah and the duesenberg splitking pickup is a humbucker made out of two singlecoils so you can get the single and humbucker sound
Well almost everybody likes humbuckers and Floyds so it’s clearly not that big a deal, it seams like he’s trying to look like a smart “WOKE” guy but whatever
I hate Floyds. When I need a vibrato bridge, I use Kahlers, it fixes the problems I have with Floyds. Floyds cut up a lot of the body, I like shaping my own nuts, I don't like that Floyds will go out of tune if you rest your hand on the bridge. Also if you have very low action (like I do), if you pull up on the Floyd it frets out. Floyds also have a very stiff feel that I don't like. The Kahlers get rid of all of these problems. Also, I like the fact that you can pick what materials the bridge is made of. Brass or steel rollers, cam, etc. I like having the 3 high strings with brass rollers for more warmth, and the bottom 3 string rollers steel for more brightness and harmonics. I love Yngwie's playing, but he's full of it when he says his Fender trems don't go out of tune. I've seen him a lot and they do go out of tune. I think he changes guitars so frequently during a show that he maybe doesn't notice, or that's the reason he changes them so we don't notice. Love him or hate him, his interviews are fun to listen to, and he changed what metal guitar playing can be.
Italian, classic guitarist, Vittorio Camardese did the two handed tapping earlier than Harvey Mandel, 3 years earlier, in 1965. Of course Van Halen (may he be in purgatory at least- prayers for his eternal soul), pioneered (pioneered meaning, made it mainstream, made it big time, made it relevant, made it matter). the two handed tapping of course: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3y1WK040cAI.html Vittorio and Mandel were Karl Benz (inventor of the gas car) of two handed tapping but Van Halen was Henry Ford. God bless, Rev. 21:4
I think when he talked about Floyd systems ... he actually meant something about sustain, because " locking nut cuts the headstock from the rest of the neck, and minimize the oscillations of the headstock, so that reduces the sustein"... he likes big fender headstocks, probably bc they provides a better sustain"
@@waywardsoul4918 I'd love to see something that indicates the difference between a regular strat headstock and the CBS large headstock is even perceptible to the human ear. People should be able to identify the difference in a controlled test. Otherwise, I'm of the stance that "slightly larger fender headstock makes the guitar have noticeably more sustain" is simply a held belief that people repeat or a person's way of convincing themselves they don't just prefer the look.
What the hell is wrong with Floyd Rose?? String changing? No problem. Setup? Go see a luthier. Doesnt stay in tune? It can go out of tune, but I always kicked it on the back with my palm and it worked well, I could do crazy dive bombs again...
@@danteneal5561 very big fan of the duncan and dimarzio high output noisless singlecoils, i use H S pickup setup and it works even better than H H for me!
Finally I can relate to someone as well humbuckers to me don't sound good Floyd roses to me I find them useless I like a single coil and I like a Les Paul bridge put those two together and you got sweetness
Eddie and the Cruisers 2 (horrible film) talked extensively about the shred vs. Soul aspect of guitar playing......I'd suggest that Joe S should be given a randomly tuned axe daily to break the pattern.
Yeah or flying in a blue dream, love thing and dream song. I get the feels when I hear dream song every time. These guys clearly have not listed to enough of Joe to understand. They probably only heard Satch biggie and surfing with the alien and were like yup he sucks. Joe has unbelievable feel and that’s why he actually dose appeals to non musicians.
@@dreamlifter2701 Bruh, I've just been learning Satch Boogie properly lately and I don't think it sucks, I think it frikken RRROCKS!! I used to play it by ear, which it turns out, while roughly right, missed a heap of cool stuff. Joe is the king of lead guitar, I don't think anyone has straddled the gap between technical shredding and playing with feeling as Satriani has. Many players incorporate elements of both, but end up being mostly one side than the other. Yngvie, for eg. 99% technicality,1% feel. Gilmore? 75% feels, 25% tech. Gary Moore? 70% feels, 30% tech. Slash? 60% feel, 40% tech. Vai? 75% tech, 25% feels. Joe, on the other hand..? 50% tech, 50% feel. Noone balanced it better. I think many ppl don't give him a proper listen because he's an instrumentalist - there's no song to sing along to, no vocal hook, no chorus. So basically only guitar players who take lead guitar at least somewhat seriously, are going to be the ones on the "Satch Train" .
@@lueymeteora1410 I definitely don’t think it sucks but according to these guys logic playing fast sucks. I love how they Attack Satch but he’s not even one of those shredders who just plays fast. Cough Yngvie. I mean do they even listen to his stuff. “He doesn’t play enough wrong notes” Yeah because he’s unbelievably good with great feel. I’d argue he has some of the best melodic Guitar parts period. It’s a toss up between him and Neal Schon for me in terms of melodic playing. Richie Blackmore is a great guitarist but you can’t be narrow minded.
@@dreamlifter2701 Satch is never going near his top speed on "Surfing.." or "Flying..". He generally plays at a moderate speed, compared to his capability. But that's the point, IMO, of having shredder capabilities... so you can perform whatever feat the song requires, at any point..NOT to cover every square inch of sonic space with audio- grafitti..akin to the low brow crowded mess of scrawl you see on public toilet doors! ...If that sort of metaphor can fly..! Certainly I know that type of player, and I'm no fan either. Although, even having said that...I still respect the hours of discipline and effort and repetition getting all those scales and shapes into your fingers, that you can reliably sizzle the fretboard on command..like the Delorean leaving fire trails as it bores through space-time! >> > I'm waxing lyrical today! ..with all the colourful metaphors!🤦♂️
I wonder what these guys think about SRV, Rory, Gary Moore, Frank Marino, Trower, guys that shred in their own way, but are mostly about amazing tone and great songs. I know they all looked up to Hendrix, I just wonder what they think of other super great blues rockers, like SRV in particular.
its fun to see maynard criticize satriani when he doesnt know anything about music. also saying musicians are "too one-dimensional" when every tool song is exactly the same over and over.
watched till 5 mins and i just got more confused ..lol 15 wasted mins i think the whole malmasteen's point of view was at the frist 2 mins ..the rest why are even included in this vid ? lmao thumb down.
These guys are too busy talking trash while Lil Wayne is taking shred guitar to a whole new level! Lil Wayne found all the wrong notes Ritchie Blackmore was searching for & doesn’t use a tremolo or humbucker! SNOOCHIE BOOCHIES!!
...says the guy whose guitar sounds muddy on nearly every album he's ever recorded. Yngwie's guitar has sounded like crap from day one. And he's played the same 3 guitar solos for the last 40 years.
