Really helpful episode, the "Sharpen Your Songwriting" series is one of my favourites. It took me a while to figure out a lot of these things on my own, so it's great that the kids watching this will hopefully not have to go through as much trial and error as I did...
The only time I would have both guitars play the same thing, is when I want a huge sound. You can get a really thick wall of sound that way. There are very subtle ways to make it sound awesome as well. For example to have one guitar play on bridge pick ups and the other on the neck. Also, although both guitars play the same chords, you can have a slightly different accentuation of the rythm. This retains the thickness of the sound, and provides several more layers to dissect for the listener, rythmically speaking.
Also i would love if you could make a video showing how you EQ each guitar and set up, and if you could add the Bass drums and keyboard EQ that'll be great aswell
Dude in the back takes my attention, had to rewatch some section where you explain some stuff and i wouldnt do it unless i notice im not paying attention to you, i fear most viewers would just move on to your next point without realizing it, anyway great contect im waiting for more..
Hi, I so I really wanna get into the music industry but I don't know where to start. I I'm at stage one and I have written my song now what do I do....
I suppose it depends what your aim is, Is it to write great songs and share it with people, watch our videos they're aimed at people like you! Is it to be a famous musician earning millions, give up now, its not about the money! If your 'song' is your first song, write more, a lot more! Good luck with it!
Thanks for the video will definitely help me out with writing, also is that part of a real full song you’re playing at 0:38 or is it just a part you made up haha? Sounds sick
It's a Vox VT(number), can't remember the exact model but its from the valvetronix series! .. The Vox modelling Amps are currently my favourite that I've ever played!
I think it'd be better if you at least tried to do demonstrations on the things you're talking about from now on, it makes the video more entertaining. That and the banter.
We agree! However sometimes we're talking about ideas or things relating to an entire song or instrumentation, so it's a little hard to demonstrate everything!
I think keyboards are underrated when it comes to song writing and bands
Might be one of your better videos yet since you actually showed what you meant
Yeah! We agree!
Demonstrations are good.
love the view from the afternoon in there !
do a video about preparing your gear for gigs and guitars and amps
Please
oh yeah that's a really good idea

being in tune is nice :p
Nice job guys
and keep havin fun
it’s so much better than just watching a boring demonstration vid for ideas
Also i would love if you could make a video showing how you EQ each guitar and set up, and if you could add the Bass drums and keyboard EQ that'll be great aswell
loving the enmity riff in there
It's 3am here in Canada and I'm binge watching your vids so I can...sharpen my songwriting....; )
Ba dum tsht!
GNR doesn't go a full octave, but it's the same principle as #3
I want in my band to have lead and co-lead. not just lead and Rythem.
Honestly, names don't matter! Do what you like :)
Thanks so much for this video! I used to look this up all the time and could never find anything on it! This has helped me a lot so thank u :)
You're welcome! :)
Could you do a video of writing for 3 guitars please
Holy baby hands

No problemo!

audioslave!
i came expecting radiohead level sophistication
woah is that a song at 1:14 ? if so what is it, it sounds cool
Kkk so this is a great video but I'm not gonna lie, I only clicked cuz they looked really cute on the thumbnail 😅
How about a video about writing for one guitar? Any tips for filling space or creating space when maybe in a power trio set up?
All you had to do is search, my man: ua-cam.com/video/r1vbgCiY43U/v-deo.html
Enjoy :)
Would rather see that Gibson in focus

Very good musical tips! Nice to see how your videos have evolved lol.

Been wondering this for like 2 years now, if you find out please tell me
It sounds a whole hell of a lot like "Revolution" by Pennywise, but not it's not exactly the same.
can you guys give advice to bands with only 1 guitarist
Yes!
NO SHIA
What was the song at 6:10?
"Do Betterer"😡
What pedal/interface do you use for the white guitar?
T H I S!!
Isn't the point of having two guitarists to have a more powerful sound?
What did you play when you took one of the guitars out to make it die down. I've heard it before.
can yous makes an videos ons writing ride
*riffs
Can you rephraze in English, please?
How can I write decent sounding guitar riffs. sorry lol.
Opinion on Squiere by Fender, Guitars and Bass?
Can't knock them! I've never played a Squiere that I haven't liked!
+The Music Lab thanks dude, getting a Squiere jazz bass shipped in from Germany but I wasn't sure of the quality.
My bRaIn Is sO HaPPy
Does the red Les Paul have P90's?
Just one P90 on the bridge!
Ah i see, i love P90's i have a SG Special with some. :)

Probably too late now but it's Dammit by blink-182
CriticalPoizon thanks

It's a Vox VT(number), can't remember the exact model but its from the valvetronix series! .. The Vox modelling Amps are currently my favourite that I've ever played!
