    Am I the only one who has the opposite problem to these guys when I go to a guitar store and want to try out gear? I can play heaps of stuff and improvise riffs and stuff fairly well but as soon as I am put on the spot in front of other people I just freeze and don't really try anything. I usually, just play a couple of chugs here and there jam unplugged. I am pretty self conscious about not pissing people off I guess, I just don't want be like these guys.

      If it helps getting your shedding and soloing to sound nicer and more efficient, then its pretty fun.

    • @brb224
      @brb224 9 років тому +1

      dosent sound as cool shreding on clean then it dose on distortion.

    • @MorbidSatan24
      @MorbidSatan24 9 років тому +8

      Of course it sounds cool when you shred with distortion, but if you want a tasteful solo, try clean settings. Anyone can shred with distortion on. Distortion can cover up peoples mistakes when soloing. So if you want a nice sound to your playing then clean is a good option. Unless you want to stick to line 6 where every mediocre shredder plays on.

    • @facelessbeing6209
      @facelessbeing6209 8 років тому +10

      Yeah I hate walking in and hearing 6 people playing at loud volume. I always use the room and have my girlfriend stand outside and give me the thumbs up when it gets too loud, so we have an acceptable volume that doesn't bother people. If I do crank it, it's just to see how loud it can get and never for longer than a few quick chugs.

      They sound nice and they're versatile perfect for a beginner to find his sound.
      But as an R'n'R and R'n'B guy I can't use it's full range I only play crunch or clean and I crap my pants whenever I accidently press the metal button.

  • @mr.nervedamagegaming8050
    @mr.nervedamagegaming8050 11 років тому +58

    When you practice only a few riffs and runs constantly for years and then try to force them together... this is what it sounds like, lol... rule number 1... play with soul... every time... you don't have to be Yngwie to be a badass... take a page from David Gilmour.

    • @ironjawedangels2812
      @ironjawedangels2812 10 років тому +12

      Funny thing is that Yngwie's playing has tons of soul. Get a metronome and a backing track and these guys would have no idea what to do.

    • @mr.nervedamagegaming8050
      @mr.nervedamagegaming8050 10 років тому +6

      I wouldn't argue that some of Yngwie's music is soulful (I love his Concerto Suite album especially), my only point was that you don't have to shred like him to be "good", haha... and yes.. these guys wouldn't have a clue (most likely) with a click/backing track.

    • @AzHarris
      @AzHarris 9 років тому +1

      +Brad Beastly I think you can try any of the amps. At least the one i go to in my area, they have all the amps plugged in, cords jacked and picks at the ready for test runs. Fender, Marshall, Line 6, eetc. Even the very high end items are up for test runs. But it could be different there, yeah.

    • @imglidinhere
      @imglidinhere 8 років тому

      +Andrew Frazier You can get good sound out of the Spider IV line. They aren't bad amps. I have the 30-watt and I've kinda tweaked it to sound as much like a Marshall CFX30 as I can get, but oh well.
      Has more to do with the player than the amp and the instrument anyway, though I DO get what you're saying. GC has full half-stack cabinets available and these jokers decided to play on something you use at home... xD Good choice... losers...

      +Brad Beastly Judging by his video, i do not believe he is kidding. I am curious on what amps he has on hand to use. I only tried a Line 6 recently. As well as a Marshall, and my main is a Fender Mustang 4. Line 6 has a sound to it that comes off as artificial. But that's not enough for me to call it bad, personally.

      Gain all the way up. When they will shred like this with a clean sound, then that's good.

      Timliu92 they're sloppy, don't know how to mute unused strings, have mediocre tone that sounds like a line6 amp on the Extreme preset, and lastly are neither shredding not respecting other customers by using the store as a playground

      ProgressiveThrasher I do not know, personally to me a good guitarist will sound good regardless of what amp he uses.

    • @MKam5000
      @MKam5000 8 років тому +2

      umm that's really not true imo... an all round good guitarist will know how to set up his tone. A good musician, though, may not know that much about tone, eg mikael akerfeldt from opeth. These guys thou where sitting right next to mesa boogies and marshalls/fenders, and chose to jam their shit on the line 6s... Combined with the out of beat, mindless fuckery, they are pretty bad players imo :D

      I play guitar. And the first guitarist with the white guitar has little to no substance and coordination wit hhis picking hand vs his frt hand. notice how he constantly picks with his arm. bad idea.

    • @dankhumordog5672
      @dankhumordog5672 10 років тому

      Yeah. They aren't bad, but that picking style would wear out your pick arm and hand a whole lot faster haha.

    I know these guys are posers but who cares? In my town at least the employees at GC are generally fun and cool about shitty players jamming. Meanwhile at the more exclusive indie guitar store the owners and staff are very snobby and the place is usually quiet. If you want to play something you have to ask and then have people stare at you and put you on the spot if you aren't a jazz badass or fingerpicker. Fuck that it's supposed to be fun. I've been sucking at guitar for a few years and I'm really put off by the internet experts and insecure dicks. I say grab a few easy power chords and have fun! One idea for GC would be to put headphones on every amp so people didn't have to hear you though. When I suck I suck at a reasonable volume.

    And here we see the species known as shredicus maximus or the king of guitar center in his natural habit. Notice how he blatantly gives no regard for those around him trying to test out potential gear. It is because of this, that he and his species are hunted by the slightly larger marshallcus jackassus, other wise called the volume devil.

    @Overture2152 11 років тому

    what you do at Guitar Center (Apparently) Step 1) find a guitar that has EMG's or some shit (any 6-9 string will do) Step 2) Find the shittiest amp possible (always a line 6), Step 3) scoop all the mids out, and increase the Gain and treble. 4) play the same arpeggios, and scales up and down the neck. and step 5) (optional) Either play them like a machine with no distinct sound, or play it sloppier than sloppy seconds.
