Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Compressors are subtle-but-essential guitar effects and are very common on stage and indispensable in the studio. Johnny DeMarco shows how these vital guitar pedals work, and how to use them for your music.
I've never seen a more sensual compressor tutorial
1:17... looks like he's yelling at his mom (who is asking him to move out of the basement)
😂😂😂
Hahahahaha good one @ockeroid !
hahahahahahahha :D :D :D
Harlequin Bromance Tutorials.
I encountered this dude at the Boss/Roland booth at a guitar show years ago and can tell you that this is not an act; he’s just like this irl lol.
yeah he seems like a really cool dude
same!!!! he was a teacher at my work.
Ivon Craig Truly a living meme
You know no joke... I’m sure this guy could blow our minds in a jam
Thanks but my name isn't irl
Let's be reasonable here, guys.
This is a 101 and the man does a good job.
Fine player, on top of that.
i agree.....if someone starts a demo vid and gets straight down to business thats what we want.....not a fcuk about demo....Jonny gets a thumbs up from me.....👍
I don't think anyone doubts his musicianship - the man plays his arse off! Amazing guitarist! And, yes, his explanations and demos are very clear indeed. But with that said, the weird (and wonderful) face expressions, the persona and, mainly, that voice!!!! Fuck a duck! I keep asking myself if this is for real.....
He should have done this review in a candlelit bath.
Alex Hand 😂😂😂
LMAO
THIS made my night
🤣🤣
this legit made me spit corn chips all over a console. THanks for that :)
I love this guy. Straight to the point. No 20 minute video to explain you something in 3
Yeah, I got the impression he loves us all too... :-))
Yeah, so many youtubers talk for like 3 minutes before getting to the point of the video.
yeah, and also played a very respectable solo
@@jfo3000 Those slimy morons stretch out their videos for more ad revenue.
he is a GREAT musician and has a killer attitude@@michaelfreeland7674
Just going to say publicly that I fucking love this guy. When I was first starting out, these videos helped me understand which effects I was looking for to emulate the tones I wanted. His Bob Ross-like style of explaining the intricacies of these pedals, as well as giving practical examples of what the controls do played a massive role in making me the guitarist I am today.
The dude also plays some mean guitar.
Bob Ross! *That's* who he reminds me of! Lol
I was scrolling to see if anyone had that thought haha
This guys voice is amazingly soft
It needs compression
@@Zacapisco3 its overcompressed
and what a lot of people don't know, is that you can open this little compartment, and stash your weed in there
I have a buddy that used to stash his LSD in battery compartments of guitar pedals lmao
Lmao I thought I was the only one to do this hahaha
But weed smells -un- fortunately. So, if you have drug-sniffing friends/ppl in your house...
In Michigan weeds legal so no more stashing
Roland Canada approves ;)
These videos are really great for clear, concise summaries of what different pedals do. Some people on here are completely unappreciative of your great work. Their loss. Keep it up!
+visiblemode yeah man, very informative. thanks!
+visiblemode I appretiate the vids. but the guy is hillarious with those pauses.
I agree with you, great videos indeed. But there's something... interesting about this guy. Lol
this guy is like the Mister Rogers of Rock and Roll.
I was thinking Bob Ross
@@TedSchoenling and his Happy little compressed signal
You've got a sweet Sesame Street kind of voice.
I took a few lessons from Johnny, great player and teacher, really nice guy. He was a winner of the Best Guitarist in Cleveland competition. He did a two handed version of Sinatra's New York a la Stanley Jordan among other things to win that one.
This dude is chill af and I can't believe this video is almost ten years old! The quality is amazing!
those eyea will tell......chillin like a villain
I play this legend’s videos when the ladies are over. He sets the mood like no other AND I’m learning stuff too.
I think he's reading the script in my soul.
He's compressing his voice as he's speaking to us
14 years later and your video just helped me decide that I need to get a compressor. Thank you for your excellent and timeless video!
I want to party with this dude
i bet he sleeps early and wakes up at 5 am to meditate, which is not a bad thing btw. lol
Settle down Wayne!
@@Kareem_Saad_Al-Deen_ Ain't no way he's waking up early with that much weed in his system!
The most clear explanation about how a compressor pedal work. Very easy to understand. I may be 11 years late but I must say I am very grateful for this guy.
finally a guy who actually "explains" what the pedal does..and shows examples..nice..thanks dude..i need one a these..to tighten all the loose noise..
This has to be the best bunch of no-nonsense guitar pedal videos ever put together.
Very well explained. What I like most - he explains what the nature of a effect is and it's influence on the guitar's sound. Uses simple methods - speaks about how it works, how to use it. He shows clear, noticeable differences between each knob purpose. Short, solid video.
*3:11** I CAME AND YOU DID TOO DON'T LIE TO ME*
Raul Mejia
Came? What?
TomDaNub ejaculation
Bloody Sunday Yes, I did.
This guy has that soothing voice you can hear in some type of meditation or hypnosis recordings :D
He reminds me of a tai chi instructor I know. His voice has this....mellow tone to it.
Wow, I could listen to this guy for hours. Hypnotic, melodic, soothing tone and voice and modulation.
I totally forgot about this guy! Johnny’s the man. All these years later he’s still taking us to school.
dude, you killed it in the last example...amazing! Thanks :)
I love his Bob Ross style of teaching, makes it much easier to understand!!
I love to watch this. I'm constantly smiling.
Perfect delivery of what the pedal does and not a half hour explanation of your own likes and dislikes. Great audio examples of the control knobs functions. Thank you Johnny Demarco for giving me the facts and letting me decide for myself what I need as a musician!! Well done!!
Indeed! Those were some fine country examples you played for us, young fellow! Particularly in example 2, the marvelous country picking you displayed was very reminiscent of the Buck Owens sound I remember so well! Such a fine talented lad, yes indeed!
Feels like a massage video because of your voice.
Darn, I wanted to find a good compressor pedal, and now I'm stuck to this guy's videos and reading the comments. I guess he is a super nice guy, but I've cried tears from laughing...
Nice explanation, thank you.
I did not understand the attack at the moment but I tested my pedal and now I understand.
My god these videos are amazing. Most vids on pedals talk to you as if you have some sort of experience with pedals, and their explanations of the effects and different knobs are terrible. They just turn the knob up and expect you to know how it changes just by listening, where as with these videos, you actually explain in terms people like me, who have absolutely zero experience with effects, can easily understand. Thank you!!
These videos are great, Jphnny - thanks very much. Beautifully clear explanations of how these things work.
I could listen this demo all day, so cool, and easy like Sunday morning.
everything about your videos is so perfect I can't explain
Effects 101 is a great little series
this is the absolute best explanation I have heard about compressors. thanks.
DeMarco is the MAN!
Good Teacher
Hay, am joni de marcou
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
I could listen to this guy talk about stuff all day...
If I didn't already have one I would get another after watching this, great vid as ever and far more entertaining than just about everyone else.
Thanks so much Johnny! You explained what a Compressor does clearly so that a Newbie can understand!
Great Job, Johnny.
Best compressor ive seen yet bud !!!!👍👍👍👍
This guy makes actually useful, relevant vids on pedals and is not annoying to hear talking. a hoof up for you!
Best pedal tutorial ever
I met this guy and hung out in his studio. He's just as chill in real life. Cool guy for sure
Nicely done. Kept hearing "Holding Back The Years" in my head.
What a great tutorial. I've never left a pedal tutorial feeling like I know exactly how to use the pedal but after this I'm feeling pretty good
go ahead and bash and make fun of this guy but remember him every morning when you get up early to go to your 9 to 5 job and he get to go and play guitar for a living !! 😃
OK Dad.
@@bruhdamartinasty3636 fuck you to
@@PS2Damon 😂
Ok dad 👁👄👁
But.. what if I like my job
Wow.. this is like the perfect video. I didn't know anything about compressor pedals and now I feel like a freakin expert. lol Great guitar work and sound too.
Thanks Roland, this series helps a lot.
I like how he holds up each pedal right next to his head. It reminds me of the do everything for money scene in Wayne's world
I like this guy. He is a great instructor.
Should be much more of these chaps...I appreciate the education.
He Rob Rosses the shit out of this tutorial
Very well done. Not flashy just a great down to the bones video
FINALLY A GUY THAT CAN FUCKIN EXPLAIN
Honestly, i'm going through all of these "101" videos just because of this guy. They're also concise and informational. Roland really hit it out of the park with this guy. Hahahaha.
2 days ago I was watching some, so called, UA-cam instructional videos on things like, the Spark 2, and Logic Pro. Like I said, they were suppose to be instructional videos. The only problem, which seems to exist a lot with instructional videos on UA-cam, is they went too fast, and didn't define terms they were using. I just saw all of Johnny's pedal instructional vids, and I think they're the best I've seen. The videos also have a very clean and well thought out approach. Fantastic Johnny!
I LOVE his mellowness
Thanks Johnny! You are awesome!
Straight to the point 👏
Excellent!!!!
Thank you!!!!!
I just watched it because he's voice is very calm and relaxing
THANKS JOHNNY
I keep coming to see this video... so cool and well explained
great demo and instruction
This dude is chill.
best example I've seen yet. thanks Rolandmedia!
Exactly what we need to know.. straight on point
I’m just starting out to learn about effects and pedals and this was such a great demo (and a bit sensual at that 😏). I could really tell the difference in the attack demo, but other than that everything was great! Thank you!!!
Jonny Demarco: "I have to whisper because we're not rocking out right now. This is serious education."
Informative and hilarious kudos to Johnny, A+ on all fronts.
Great demonstration, thank you!
Thanks Johnny.. Very informative..
this guy is a national treasure
This video series is great. Well done, Roland. You guys make some really amazing products and Johnny here is showing us a plethora of ways to take advantage of the sweet and unique sounds you can achieve using these bad ass pedals. Keep the videos coming if you can! These videos would definitely be a key aspect in which pedal I pick up next.
This dude is LIT the fuck up!
I actually understood most of this. Thanks!
Great video!
One of my favorite pedals
Concise and to the point, much thanks
This guy is very well rounded player. Awesome
Great video! Your videos on effects are the most informative I have come across by far! Respect!
you are so helpful dude - clear and to the point
Did they film this in a library?
Guitar Whores LOL!
Finally a real demo on compression
Man, I love his expressions while he plays
This makes so much sense, thank you!
I read the comments to learn more about compressors. Turned out I learned more about the guy.
The best ever explain!
thanks man... great info....now back to my ukelele
These videoes are a great help - thumps up! :)
This guy does a good job of explaining how things work by keeping plain and simple and direct with no added nonsense which is appreciated by me and my data cheers.😊
I listen to this as a therapy
keep it that way man u really help newbies like to understand how the FX work :D
OMFG! I thought it was like an SNL skit or something!?!?! TOO FUNNY! I LOVE that strum! WOW! They should call him Johnny "ON FIRE" DeMarco!
