He’s becoming more and more metal
As a metal guitarist, I’m so proud 🥹
I’m scared as a punk guy
@@Robloxer9000 Why
As an 8 string metal guitarist, I am very excited for him to one day branch to further beyond.
Becoming Godsize
@@Christiern-Knudsen333 he was born again with snakes eyes 🗣️🗣️
Holy shit, he’s actually metal now, that was a nice tone, and a sick axe, always loved the iceman
No, he is not... he will never be
@@Einzatskommandoi find it funny yall wanted him to be metal… he’s been a funk n blues player for so long.
What a milestone for this channel. I can't wait to see him fully embrace the chug. 😊
I’m a fan of your playing and videos. As a intermediate guitarist, I would love to see an in-depth video on how you go about learning a song. Is it tab? Is it watching live recordings and going by sight and ear? Both? Learning songs is a ton of fun but not as easy as you or many UA-camrs make it look in a quick video. Anyway, keep jamming!
you should try all of those methods for yourself and in time you will settle on the one you prefer. there are no right or wrong ways to learn anything for that matter, but tab is a good place to start. its easier than memorizing chords and learning by ear usually takes some time to train your ear. but who knows, you might excel at one method or another, you wont know until you try them
@DIABETES-BOY thanks for responding and for sure, I definitely have tried all 3. I think there is also something to watching how someone else learns and picking pieces from them. Maybe even learning the song alongside them.
I play a song about 3thousand times then I know it.. practice bro
@@MarkManginoisawesomeI have some how to guitar videos.. but not really..
sorry
it's so great seeing shorts creators move to long format videos. makes it feel like our collective attention span is finally improving.
Very proud of you for embracing the dark side, Mikey. Opposite of you, I am also embracing a fear and just picked up my first start with single coils this week lol. Looking forward to you getting you hands on a Les Paul. Your life will never be the same lol. Happy playing!
96 Quite Bitter Beings riff will NEVER get old
Once you go humbuckers you dont want to go back
Ironically, I went from humbuckers to single coils (the buckers were just too beefy for my taste)
I went from buckers to dogear p90s
I’m new to guitar and was wondering what the difference is?
@@Tylerchaz humbuckers tend to be a lot thicker and fuller sounding, and have a lot less hum with distortion (hence the name). Single coils tend to sound thinner and have more attack to them, but hum a lot with distortion
Depends, for out and out rock n roll and thickening the sound humbuckers are the boy, but for me cutting through the mix with lead guitar it has to be single coil
i love the effort you're putting in your long form videos!!!! they keep getting better and better. keep it up❤❤
Dude lowkey just from all the memes im so glad you actually embraced change. Like seriously. Maybe you didn’t show it as much before but I swear you used to have a fear of distortion. So much change 😢😢
As a single coil man myself, there ARE some humbuckers that are made for us!
The PAF humbuckers from a vintage les Paul sound like a really beefy telecaster. They’re actually bright and twangy! If you ever get the chance to try a PAF style humbucker, itll change the way you see humbuckers
I remember when I first learned Laid to Rest, that fill before the riff repeats was an absolute nightmare for me to get right. Good stuff!
Wow this warms my heart
You need to try a BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone pedal!!!! The small, double knobbed, variable eq let's you go from some classic rock tones to some beefy metal chuggs!! Please try one! I have an extra that I will pass on to you, if you can't get your hands on one. Run it through your clean channel and the pedal will do all of the work. It is SO worth it if you want to play with many rock tones. Great vid, and thank you. I always enjoy your format and wit! MT-2!!
Boss DS-1 is a better pedal
Great vid as always Mikey 🎉🎉🎉
Look how far you’ve come!
Keep up the longer videos man!
Mikey has the best guitar videos on YT 🔥🔥🔥
As a Les Paul humbucker player, I cannot get a good sound out of single coils on a strat.
I have several now that are H-S-Hrail, and I dig the tone in all positions.
same boat...always wanted to love strats and wanted to get them to sound good. I have gotten close a few times, took playing a firebird to realize what my brain was going for.
It really depends. Like the bridge is pretty bad, but I like how the neck pick ups sounds. The guitar player in the band gang of four just ripped his bridge out, and I kinda wanna try that.
The problem is what you’re thinking of as a “good sound” i have 5 gibsons and 5 fenders. I stopped putting buckers in the fenders and stopped coil tapping the gibsons. And started using them for what they are born to do. Humbuckers and single coils are like the difference between a harley and crotch rocket. Same basic duty, but they are different styles
@@plantain.1739just use hss
@@Ottophilngl that’s what i wanted to do and get different guitars for stuff but then i realized the only thing that my hands feel right playing is a strat 😂
Great Stuff as always! Keep it in 2024 🎉
I have that exact iceman! I do t play it much anymore, but still fun every once in a while
Damn never before gave I seen him use ACTUAL distortion 🤯
A little recommendation if you want a guitar that does everything, get yourself specifically an epiphone les Paul ultra 2 with the nano mag active pickup, it’ll do the heaviest riffs and then casually play the nicest clean tones
good job on finally using distortion the way it was intended
0:43 what song is this riff from?
CKY - 96 quite bitter beings
@@Yuloooo thank you!
Nice thing with Pickguard mounted Pickups and electronics is that you can make easily Swapable Loaded Pickguards using a single "Quick Connect"at the Jack.
Humbuckers have a lot more versatility. HSH stratocasters are a must have for a collection. Can be a fender or a super strat from Kramer or ibanez, humbucker strats are just awesome.
If you have a few more bucks to spend, you should try out the PRS Modern Eagle V, it is by FAR the most versatile guitar I’ve seen.
Im proud of you dude
pretty sure it is a Ibanez Iceman IC120. The body is smaller sized than a regular iceman
I like p90s and single coils more but the buckers have a great monstorous tone. Usually though, I use a two single coil one humbucker, or a double humbucker.
Go HSS and never look back. Perfect transition for you but you get all the strat and tele stuff plussssss the metal of the bridge humbucker.
Welcome to the dark side 🤘🏼
Shs is a really nice setup almost no one seems to use
Something about this is oddly calming...
What a gorgeous iceman
I like singles, I got 2 strats that have them, but at heart when I play what I like, I got a couple pawnshop squire starts with Duncan hot rodded humbuckers, always my go to guitars
I remember when this video was a minute old and only had 8 views but now it has more than 40k views
What amps you using Mikey? I saw a Marshall bottom (4x10s?) but amp sounds like modeler or Mesa Booger. Regardless, sounds really nice! 👍
I think, that in 10 years, we would turn him into some progressive deathcore guitarist :DDD
This type of guitar needs to be produce
CKY GOES CRAZY HARD!!!!
Love the long format videos. Do more
Bro this shit 10 minutes long
@@GOLDEN-wq8uz more than 1 minute
Less Paul’s are amazing and more versatile than you think, you can mix both pickups, using the 4 nobs to change them
A nanomag les Paul is even more versatile, it’ll do acousticy things and the heaviest metal
Second I saw that body shape I instantly knew it was the iceman
Are you sure that the push pull pot puts it out of phase I would imagine that it splits the coil only because you said it changed the tone in all 3 positions but if it were an out of phase switch it would only effect the middle position as the phase will always sound the same when a pickup is in isolation (I could be completely wrong)
I see that ES in the background and it's adding to my theory that strat players like ES guitars(A theory that comes from myself as the only example)
I’m proud of you
The iceman is so sick
Next he should play Deathcore breakdowns on a 7-string
Always love cky worship
At 2:17 I thought he was about to just start ripping “Am I Evil?”
Close to 200K!!!
He's finally getting good
Which Signature Fluence pickups is it, Tim's or Scott's?
Funk is in your blood so whenever you touch a guitar you have to play it😎
ICEMAN🔥
this is like hitting puberty
what song was played during the neck tone demonstration
Very cool.
If you wanna see a metal strat check out Chris Garza from suicide silence with his 7 string strat with emg pickups
Full length videos rule!!
what was the song you played at the beginning
One of these days he will learn about the concept of a 7 string
where did you get that kurt shirt?
Wait till this guy discovers neural dsp
yay metal
YES YES YES
bro i just made a strat with gibson greenybuckers in it, best of both worlds
Now you gotta get a guitar with triple coil pickups
i think the neck that was originally that ibanez was switched out, cant be sure though
Single or humbucker they both have a purpose 😊so I have super strats in all configurations because they all just sound absolutely phucking awsome 😎 valve amps and pedals forever i refuse to comply 😂😂😂😂❤whats up mike😊
nicest video i ever seen ! 👍👍👍
*saw*
I NEED THAT SWEATER
What’s the riff at 00:51?
96 quite bitter beings by cky
When you go buckers, you never get rid of those suckers
Get this man some emgs
what rock song did he play at the start?
I always forget the name of your channel, so I just search for "stratocaster guy"
What is the first song he played called?
i think you want 96 Quite Bitter Beings - CKY
this bad boy was on pro skater 3
YAAAAAAAAAAY
The Iceman guitar looks more like the ICT700 model since the Paul Stanley model doesn't have pickup switch, at least to my eyes
So happy to hear about your transition sister! 🏳️⚧️
This is a big change to make but just know we support your pickup re assignment
I lived loved and laughed at this comment, thank you
🏳️⚧️Omg so true sister!🏳️⚧️
sth
Transphobic
Why single pickups still exist is beyond me.. out a coil split on your humbucker.. no more need at all for single pickups..
Humbuckers every day!
🤘😜👍
one of us now
I used to be humbuckered. Single coil cuts more though. Telecasters all the way
I want to see when he discovers Dimebag Darrell
CKY. Nice 😎
What’s the song he played in the intro?? (0:44)
That song at 9:54 sounds heavenly, need to learn it; what's the name?
You need to get a prs someday you won’t regret it
I’m mEtAL nOw
*plays CKY
How cute he is becoming a metalhead
I’m glad that you picked that cheap ibanez instead of a 59’ Gibson Les Paul for your main humbucker-equipped guitar.
This is awesome
Hi
fuck yeah CKY in the beginning
**gain knob has entered the chat..**
The headstock says is not the Paul Stanley one
What is preferable ? HSS, HSH or only HH ?
HH. If you want the variety of single coils, you can get Coil Splitting Humbuckers. But you don't. Humbuckers are better.
What is the song at 0:43?
Dude that riff in the beginning was to good. Was it from a song or just something you made?
