Glenn in a pair of Wrangler jeans? ok? ha ha
Putting this here so you might actually see it. With the pinch harmonics the "sweet spot" can really vary. Not only does it vary guitar to guitar, but also which string and even which note you play. For example, if you're playing a harmonic on the a string on fret 5, the position on the string where it'll ring out well might be a few millimeters different from playing on the 7th fret on the same string. So explore up and down the string what sound you get picking that harmonic. Also, if you hang on a note like F# on low E, and pick the harmonic at different points, it'll ring different and give you lots of options for how you might want to play it in any given riff. Stillborn by Black label society is a great example of this. The main riff of the song is just him fretting 1 note and picking the harmonic in a few different places up and down. Gives the illusion of movement when really his left hand is pretty much just hanging on one fret all day.
I can imagine the ancestors of Paul Reed Smith tapping roof beams in the 1790s and declaring the house had a tonewood structure
This have me a hearty chuckle.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Man, that "demonstration" was so bad lol
It sucks that 1 person didn't stand up and say "yeah, but we dont hit our guitars with hammers so what exactly are you proving here?"
@@xamislimelight8965 speak for yourself!
The sustain of this house is incredible! Why just the other minute I closed the bathroom door and the squeak lingered for seconds because of the structure of all this tone wood!
Wake up, babe! Glenn's weekly "Destroy America" video just dropped!
FWIW, they told us that Heavy Metal would destroy America back in the 80s. I'm just following that logic. :)
i have a few suggestions where he could start first.
@@bauer100We are doing a great job on our own.
@@williamolsen20 Yes you are.
What you didn't ask your wife's boy friend to see the video too?! You monster!
“Please get well soon.” lol
Came to say this. That was awesome.
And yeah, I think we will. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@finnsterling6514 Dunno man, even if Biden gets back in the while country is rapidly heading rightward. Your infrastructure is crumbling, the economy is barely hanging on by a thread (and powered mostly by rampant profiteering and vulture capitalism), your education and healthcare systems are abysmal, the only thing in the USA that has any solid backing and support are the cops and they're the biggest gang in the world. They're going to be one of the main factions after the coming collapse of the country, mark my words.
Glenn! Get better soon. Your mental health comes first!
@@finnsterling6514we're going to merge with China to go against Russia. There is no patriotism in United States government. They hate the US Citizen. A real patriot doesn't trust anyone not even the ones who wave a flag.😏
Killed me🤣
Hey leave my mandatory guns out of this.
The wood is 300 years old? That's one way to prevent a deathcore vocalist from trying to finger it
F A C T S
5:29 Glen's face off camera when the guitar taps him in the balls: 😵💫
That's y he likes vs😅
Scale length also affects one's ability to do pinch harmonics. If you're used to finding pinch harmonics on a 24.75" scale, 25.5 is going to feel a little weird. And you can replace those examples with any scale length.
That sounds logical! A rarity in the comments!
exactly what I came to say. They're a function of scale length :)
It's the same idea as the fret placement on a larger scale being different than the placement on a shorter scale. Guitar players eventually reach a point in their skill, where they don't have to think about finding the pinch harmonics when swapping between guitars with different scale lengths.
Yeah! (happens at 8:43 if anyone is wondering)
the trick is to keep moving the hand until you find the sweet spot. ;)
It has that reclaimed tonewood sound. Some real dining room table vibes.
Hahaha yah cUse wood matters right? Lol.
Ok on an acousic it does thats about it seems your aware of the scam 80years running now lmfao.
So,carbon reinforced plastic guitars kinda goes against (Tonewood ) theory?🤨🤔
@@keithhampton9700 so many great tones were achieved with a Steinberger
@@keithhampton9700 that would be plastitone
Really?
I thought this is electric guitar, not an acoustic.
I don't think they would try to make an acoustic from THAT wood
That King Of The Hill theme got me laughing before 10 am. Impressive.
"Here lies Glen Fricker, he never scored" f'n gold!
My editor threw that in, and I was like "Hell yeah! That's great!"
Right, I laughed hard at that. Never take your self so seriously that you can't take the piss out of you, lol.
My dad says butane is a bastard gas....
God damnit bobby...
LOL 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had a guy in Wilmington NC build me a strat (I know, this is a metal show) out of heart pine that came from roof trusses from the first mansion built in Wilmington. From 1738. It is the heaviest fucking guitar, in weight, you will ever play. I haven't weighed it, but compared to my Les Paul, it is much heavier. If you threw this guitar off a 10-story building, it would sink into the concrete below. Guitar would be fine. The guitar is fucking awesome, I love it. And it cost me less than than a Fender American perform series, their cheapest American made guitars. Full disclosure, the neck did come from Warmoth. I have a couple of guitars from local luthiers around where i live. They are all my go to guitars. My Les Paul sits on the rack most of the time.
You said (showed) it , not me
I will NEVER unsee it now
You are the metal "Hank Hill"
The straw was also reclaimed from the 300yr old Barn.
It's like playing a heavily smoked in room built the 70's
With 70s easy listening tone...
"Goddang it Bobby. In this house we like Pro-Pain. "MAKE WAAR NOT LOVE! MAKE WAAR NOT LOVE!!"
Your playing has massively improved. That King of the hill theme was on point
I mean it is literally rough around some of the edges, but I love the idea of having really old wood in my lap. Wait, not like that.
The concept is really great, the price is amazing and the guitar really solid. Way cooler than some decal on a super generic guitar!
One pickup with series, split and parallel is very smart. That access cut for higher registers is classy and intelligent.
I've done that several times and the single coil mode always sucks, parallel is close enough but witjout the hum, now I just wire series/parellel
@@jasondorsey7110 Yep, same here. Coil splits very rarely sound good to me.
Oh come on Glen your not fooling anyone, admit it you like both kinds of music.
Country and Western!
They should have named the model "Naughty Pine"...missed opportunity 😉
I tell you h'what, Glenn. Your guitar playing has really improved over the past few years. Props, man. Practice really pays off.
A little tip I learned for pool cues that's great if your guitar headstock gets dinged in shipping: Take a tea kettle and once it's boiling and steam is shooting out, hold the indentation in the path of the steam concentrating on that particular spot. Keep wiping off the condesnsation and be patient. The wood will swell back into place. It won't be perfect, but you can get the dent 90-95% of the way out.
Glenn just found probably one of the sweetest wedding band guitars out there.
That’s actually one of the coolest V’s I’ve seen so far, especially considering the ergonomic/ well balanced features it has.
When we say cleans, we mean things like the clean sections in The Call Of Ktulu or the intro to Archspire's Drain Of Incarnation.
He knows. It's called spite.
@RandysRides I know he knows but if he pesters us, we might as well pester him back. 😆
Harvester of Sorrow is another excellent choice!
@BlueDragon7511 oh yeah. I'd like to see Glenn try that one.
Not crazy about the shape, but use of reclaimed/repurposed materials lead to some of the most unique and wonderful creations. I personally don't like this particular guitar, but THIS is more vintage than whatever crap most companies push today with overpriced replicas and relics. A guitar made out of a century old building in the middle of eastern Europe? That's fucking metal AND actually vintage. I hope more custom makers jump on this crafting concept, its great.
I wish we would have a "THIS BASS WILL DESTROY AMERICA"!
This could only work if we had enough competent bassists to spend money on it (and not on tattoos and drugs)
Another Invasive Aquatic Species? Sorry, I couldn't help it 😁
@@NoelWesleysee yourself out would you? 😊
King of the Hill is one of my all time favorite shows and it makes my day every time Glenn plays it. I'm sure Rusty Shackleford likes it, too. Shh shh Sha!
Ok this is great to know for when it comes to making a guitar. So do you have any other tips for when it comes to building one? I really want to start building some guitars that could give Moser a run for their money in looks, and Jackson a run for theirs in playability. Any tips would be appreciated.
Celtics Frost?? Talk about OBSCURE deep cuts!! 😅
also- i love seeing how much better you’ve gotten at guitar over these past few years!
0:08 it’s sad but true.
The editing is off the walls on this one 😂 looks like the whole team is having fun, i love it
Hey Glenn! Dumb question, I’m using a IR2 pedal as my amp going into a Volt 76 interface. Do I need a DI if I’m running into noise issues?
Remember that Futurama episode where Bender runs away and turns himself into wood? That's what this guitar reminds me of.
Love your channel, your skills on the six string have sky rocketed as of late! Excellent work! But dude, my anxiety is tweaking every time you start swinging the guitar and headstock looks like it’s gonna go through your console monitor in the back. Im sure its far away but holy crap 😂
Hey Glen, what do you think about the harley benton V but the SBK Vintage one, it seems to have different hardware than the black active one and was looking to get it
That is a coffee table if I ever saw one. Sounds killer, though.
Harley Benton farts.
-Glen:
This fart will destroy America !!!!🤯🤯
I hope you're doing much better bro. Thank you for all you do. I've received many useful, and helpful bits of advice from you.
I like the idea that there's a barn in the Czech republic that's got this strange V shape cut out of its roof!
I’ve been on the road and haven’t had a tv in a bit. I just got in a room with a tv after tonight’s gig and instantly turned on King of the Hill, then watch this video with the show on in the background. I can’t believe you played the theme song, that made my night. 😂 Thank you. Sick guitar dude!
And here I am, waiting for the day that a guitar will destroy Europe 😂
Gotta admit, I love hearing you play Yahoos and Triangles. Completely caught me off guard the first time I heard you play it.
Have an excellent weekend Glenn, and I sincerely hope things are going better for you .
Yeah, doing much better. Thanks! Somedays this job can be a bit overwhelming with the demands.
I was a bit worried the crack in the pickguard might become a playability issue down the road. Then I saw the pickguard on my live guitar...
I really liked that clean sound you got. It probably would sound great with some chorus on it!
So your brand new guitar is a 300 year old antique. Cool.
Glenn is the typical musician I grew up jamming with.Canadians are Nice people but we are different for sure.I love watching this.
how do we get that twang on our guitartone? It certainly isn't tonewood or the pickups, so what could it be?
I am so blown away by this guitar. Reached out to him to see if he’s ever done a semi hollow. I can’t help but wonder how the older wood would sound.
I like that guitar. The reclaimed wood and wood pick guard is not only different but looks very good.
Thanks for showing us something different!
Wow Glenn, I kind of forgot about your channel for a long time and just saw this vid pop on my youtube feed. Your guitar playing has improved a lot man!
You've gotten much better at playing Glenn. Thanks for introducing a new brand to us. Keep it up my guy.
Exactly how many times are you going to wheel out this old "This guitar will destroy" chestnut? 😅😅😅😅
Someone needs to make a compilation of glenn doing "guitar balance tests"
What in the Strictly 7 is that headstock??
I'm always interested in these good quality, not super expensive guitars. I'll finally be looking for a new guitar soon as I've just finished moving house. But guess where I moved to? That's right, just outside of Tábor, CZ. I could get a bus and pick one up in person :D Thanks for sharing, Glenn!
You might want to look into Jolana guitars....they're based in CZ and make all their instruments there. They also make all the European Spector Basses.
@@nicholasbstone Thanks for the info, I'd not heard of them. Sadly, nothing there gets my attention. There's also Aviator guitars here in CZ, and some of them look amazing - but there's just something that really appeals to me about using using reclaimed wood. That's by far the biggest draw for me on multiple levels.
Thank you for linking Cherry Orchards in the description. I needed that laugh.
Saw a video where a modern metalhead talk about everything that affects tone. Of course, I should have known that it was all in the pickups, tonewood, type of neck type, pickup height, made in America, and of course the paint. Thanks for all the advice Glenn, would've ended up spending thousands without your advice.
Also, Glenn, random question: how would you determine when it's time to sell a piece of gear? Would love to know your opinion!
Regarding your question: not an expert but I've seen a Dean Razorback Explosion on Reverb for 3000 Dollars, which is absurd of course but maybe now is a good time to sell Dean (Dimebag) guitars
Obviously Not Glenn, but if you haven't touched in 6-9 months, and haven't even thought of it in that time frame, then it's just taking up space.
If your referring to Keyan Houshmand's Video about "Why you guitar tone will never sound like mine". What he says in that video is completely legit and it doesn't actually contradict what Glenn's been preaching these last months. You just misunderstood his video or intentionally took things out of context.
Don't forget the tuners!
@Targon999 Oh yeah, the "Dime tax" is real (fucking crazy) these days
YES!!!! Glen jamming the theme to King of the Hill just made my day! Thank you Glen!
I love that more and more guitars are coming with coil split electronics. It makes it easier to add or remove gain without using a pedal
Vs are amazing. Not just the easier neck access, but they actually force you to play in a classical "guitar is on the left leg, neck slightly upwards" way .
DAMN that is sick! Now THAT is true vintage aged wood!
Know it's been awhile since you showed off the Legator Ninja 7 but I'd love to see another review of an "affordable" 7 string
Being from Saint Clair Shores, it's always great to hear from our friends in South Detroit.
I believe they set you a one off prototype. On your V request. The magic of a router used on the outer edge parameter and using a dark stain on the routed edge would of given it a more finished appearance. As it is, it looks like a high school woodshop project. It does sound good.
🤘for your playing at around 08:30 Glenn! Very cool guitar - always great to see reclaimed wood being used like this. If I was being super picky then I think I'd want fretboard markers too for 1200 notes.
Nice Axe - love the antique wood idea. Also like the Peak lights on your board when you play - you realy can't have metal without a little clipping now and then. 🤘
Very cool. I don't think most people under 60 here in the USA care where their guitar was made, unless they are a collector/investor
Hello, Glenn. Even though I haven't been playing electric guitar for some time, I also adore flying v-style guitars. Would be interested to know if something like the Jackson RR24X would be reviewed in the future?
Well, I finally saw it. I knew I would. You’re starting to have fun learning that edge of breakup and twangy shit. The more you play, the more you’ll find you LOVE playing things you’d just never sit and listen to. (I love playing songs from Journey. I was never a fan until I had to learn their songs). And, in my (probably expert by now) opinion, it’s making you a better guitar player. Forced you to learn techniques that your favorite metal players learned to develop their amazing skills. Later, when you started your shred runs, I heard major improvements in your hammer-ons and pull offs. Also in your accuracy and note clarity.
Speaking of, what a fantastic guitar in this video. I’ve got like 25-30 guitars. Need to thin the herd. But once I have some space, I may very well get one of these. Beautiful aesthetics, great sound, and looks playable as hell. Thanx Glenn!
3:19 -yeuup. Also, thanks for the throwback Glenn. I recognized the riff, but had no clue what the name was. 😂
Damn Glenn, your playing is really sounding solid!
The guitar looks amazing. Love the cut out for the higher fret access.
Cool V! I love the V's myself. I have a very rare one. Anyways, I hope things are going better for you Glenn. Praying for you
Goddamn Glenn, it’s been a while since I’ve seen one of your videos and it’s impressive how your playing has improved! Awesome stuff, cheers!
it looks like the bevels should be more rounded, is that confortable? The headstock look a bit ugly too
Love the knots left on the wood. Tone sounded great too
That's the Bad Cat amp, Harley Benton Cab, and the Lewitt 640 Rex combo... it's kind of unbeatable :)
Sounds great!!!
My main guitar is a 1993 Gibson Les Paul Studio (the one with the ebony fretboard).
A true road warrior, I paid $300 for it at my local Pawnshop.
That intro is a piece of art Glenn
I've always liked the look of wood. Brands do so much to cover it up. This is kind of refreshing as you see it flaws and all. I guess it's like a Gibson but more honest and obvious while probably staying in tune better.
Hey Glenn, try playing around with your hand placement when doing pinch harmonics. Moving closer to the neck or bridge can sometimes give a better squeal
Your playing is coming along leaps and bounds. Love that guitar too
It's the TV! For "Twang V" and I like the "Sh*t Kicker V" as well. I definitely appreciate the Old World simplicity and minimalism of this guitar. Good score!
The second I heard a cord I had a deep and burning desire to hear the "King of The Hill" theme song. Thank you!
Think you'll ever try the Stranberg Boden Essential?
Love your content Glenn!!! Look forward to your future shows !!!
NICE! I always love buying off brand stuff and I love pointy guitars. I really like that they use reclaimed wood. It sounds great kind of takes a little wind out of the tone wood lovers. I just got my hands on the new Leo Jaymz Swiftor. IMO you'll like it probably love it. It's my 2nd Leo Jaymz my first one is a Monsoon in Violet burl. I plugged it in as soon as I took it out of the box and the quality is just amazing the playability right up there with guitars ten time the cost the guitar is so well built when I saw their offering the Swiftor I ordered it and at $229.00 and the $20.00 off coupon free shipping it's coming in well above it's weight class.
Been watching for a few years and your playing has gotten way better!
As an American I agree with Glenn on the intro points. I grew up in an household of blind patriotism so I've learned to see past the bullshit the others like to play with. Also, as someone that lived for years down the road from the place where Gibson teaches guitar building I feel somewhat knowledgeable on the twang thing. The tones you're getting is mainly from your baller speaker setup. Can't get over the new V30 + the neve IR mixed with some room on. I use the Rabea plugin to noodle with and those speakers make the experience way more enjoyable!
CZ has a tradition of string instrument building that goes back hundreds of years. And yes, in that country there has to be a lot of reclaimable centuries old wood. Great idea for electrics.
always nice to get further confirmation every guitarist has at some point learned the king of the hill theme
That thing looks sick. Especially for a first swing at a V. And I usually don't give a crap about cleans, but that sounded great. Also glad that the King Of The Hill theme has become the go-to clean test.
2:51 he plays the King Of The Hill theme, that is my favorite part
Wood changes as it matures. It becomes much more dense. This will inevitably affect the tone of the guitar. Some people disagree but that's my opinion. Any other guitar you will buy off the shelf will be built from adolescent wood. Lumber as well. Trees are constantly being harvested and replanted to supply the demand.
Nah the tone won't change from new to old wood. Wood isn't a good conductor of electricity 😂
this is what i want to see, more of what no one else is doing pls!
Hey Glenn! Pinch harmonics are always going to exist at exact points along the string length, just like natural harmonics. Different scale lengths will move them around a little, and even different arm contours on the guitar can move where your picking hand hangs out on the guitar, so watch for that too. Also just wanted to say thanks for showing us some clean tones. It's good to know whether a guitar can be useful in other areas. The philosophy of having one guitar that only does one thing really well might be getting a little dated as prices increase across the board and space becoming a premium with cost of rent. Obviously, this is a metal production channel and we do want to know if it works for metal, but it's also nice to know that I could potentially take a certain axe to play in a wedding band if I had to and actually make a little money.
Basically every guitar that sounds good driven will work, add an EQ first in the chain to shape and lessen or boost the input and/or modify the circuit to add options.
I hate DR strings. I have never played a set where I've gone "Woah these are so easy to play, they feel really nice!"
Good to see you back so soon. Look after yourself. That king of the hill was sweet and nostalgic.
