Mannish Boy (Both Sides of the Sky) - Tone Check and How to Play
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2018
- My goal lately has been to keep my guitar as clean as possible but I still yield to temptation and kick in those overdrives. The Alienist Voicing Boost really does the trick. Combining a good Germanium Fuzz, Clean Boost and Overdrive can be a great combination. It gives you such a variety in tones from very clean and sparkly to super fuzz just by using your guitar volume and tone controls. Clean will be around 3 with a sweet spot between 5-8. The guitar volume works differently depending on which combination of effects you are using. I can have all three on and still get a really nice clean tone around 3-4.
This is Mannish Boy from Both Sides of the Sky. The Jimi'isms in this song are mainly that Jimi mixes it up and never plays the same passage the same twice. It gives his songs a sound that is never boring or predictable. It is a good skill to hone. Experiment and always be creative.
Here is a link to a great vibe I discovered from Kenny Wayne Shepherd's amp tech at Tinsley Audio. It is called the Sir Henry Vibe. For $599 it sounds great and you can attach a speed pedal too. I'm thinking of getting one myself. I am using my Classic Amplification Vibe Baby in this video. Brad doesn't make them anymore. www.tinsleyaudio.com/
Also, these new Eminence Legend Custom Shop 1028P's are sounding fantastic in the 1959 Bassman. The are a great speaker if you are looking for the perfect Jensen P10R sound. The are custom because they have a Kraft paper voice coil former just like the original Jensens. You have to special order them.
Here are the links to the pedals I was using:

Killer tone
Man I been lookin for this tutorial for months now !!!!!!!!! Thanks bro!!!
Nicely done, as always... tone is killer
Wow incredible tone. You nailed it man.
perfect! thanks so much and great playing !
Nice tone♥️🎸
Great tone!
amazing killer tone. this little teaser at the end of lover man is just wow! Thanks for the lesson
I forgot what version that is. It's on one of the live albums. I just missed the best take. Those new speakers were making magic sounds.
Sound very cool,man
That sounds CHOICE!
Wonderful!!! Could you please make even just a small video breaking down the riff? You would be a hero
Thank you and wonderful vids
. A very beautifull Strato...❤
Thank you, I was just looking for this version...I really didn't understand how Jimi played it.
You're welcome Mosè. Please subscribe. I am doing other Hendrix songs.
I love it!
Cant find the words mate..................just thank you so much,,this one had me cornered.
You're welcome. It's funny. I forget about these and hardly ever go back to see what I did. I know I put a lot of effort into them. That is why I have slacked off some recently because it takes so much time.
Nice! Would love to hear you cover Pali Gap...
You got it man!!
Thank you Papi.
real sweet playing that guitar,keep jamming brother man!!!!!!
Thanks Arturo. I'm working on Villanova from Maui right now. Hopefully I post it in the next week.
Too good
This is a great track , love it , thanks for the Vid.
Great sounds and playing as always. What vibe were you using for this - the Sir Henry or the CV-2?
cool!
Your onto this one,,very hard ti crack for me eh.Cheers for that.
This track blew me away when I heard it. I had thought all the really great Jimi gems had filtered into the light by now. Such a great version. Thanks for breaking this down. I find the right hand deceptively tricky on this, similar to his version of Killing Floor -- you have to really find the groove. Reaching that pinky up occasionally to grab the E has taken some work without losing the rhythm. Digging your channel lately. Someone pointed me here when I mentioned an interest in old Bassmans. Its must be screaming loud there (I saw the vid of your wife telling you to turn it down. :D )
Hey Matt, it is pretty darn loud. I personally restrict my playing to 4-7PM just so I don't drive my wonderful neighbors completely bonkers. I think I saw your other nice comment. I will go there and respond to it. Yes, right hand. Even when I think that little two note section that goes to three notes is simple, I listen to his rhythm and realize that he is playing a certain rhythm that sounds the best with the vibe. It's like little triplets inside the eighth note beat of the vibe. He knew how to make everything sound right.
Cool.

Great playing brother can you do valley of the neptunes
Awesome stuff as always 👍🏻
Please check out Hey Baby (New Rising Sun) live at the Isle of Wight, the octave section and intro are pretty interesting
Unbelievable, this is probably about as good as anyone could transcribe it. Really with Jimi you got to go off of feel. You're really not supposed to for rhythm sake my teacher years ago was always stressing that. But Jimi always kept similar rhythms and keys so it's not hard too hard to get that in check. The embellishments and placements are gonna kill me going after this. I do like $20 Fine, Stepping Stone, and Woodstock as well in the track. People say this was a trash quality for him. But I prefer the tone and sheer barebones stuff he had going at that point in time.
Hendrix was nuts!
Damn gotta check this one. Btw hope you like my machine gun version millstap
👍🏻
If you ever want to sell your internal clock...
I'll buy it!
I'm not exactly sure what clock that is. The one that makes my leg go up and down?
I’d love to see a jam video for Machine gun or a little tutorial
I'll have to do one. I just got an original Denis Cornell reissue Fuzz Face and it is a monster. Denis is the original maker of the original fuzz Jimi used.
Hey man you absolutely rock!! I’m trying to get that tone!! Can you help? I currenty have a ts9 tube screamer and a boss ds1 I’m lookn to get close to this will either them work or do I need to get all new.. I’m on a budget I also am lookn at a wh 10 wah thanks brother
Sorry I took so long. I am not familiar with the Boss. The TS9 should help. Then a good fuzz. A lot of time I will use a Germanium fuzz in conjunction with a boost like the TS9. I use an OCD. Since they both clean up by lowering the volume on your guitar, you can have both the TS( and fuzz on at the same time and turn your guitar down to 3 or 4 and get a really nice clean but crunchy rhythm tone then turn up the volume to get increasing degrees of fuzz. I would run the TS9 as clean as possible, low gain, high volume. It is safe to run the OCD on 18V to get it even cleaner. I don't think you can do that with the TS9 so don't risk it unless they say it is okay.
She sounds amazing and a pleasure to listen to her congratulations, one question are you using a univibe fast set chorus mode or vibrato mode?
That is chorus. I rarely use vibrato. That vibe sounds good. I should put it back on my board.
@@millstap What brand is it ?
@@Savior.Greenmount It is a Classic Amplification Vibe-Baby. Actually, I see the link doesn't work anymore. I know that Brad had been talking about retiring for a while now.
@@millstap ok 🤗
You should do a lesson for send my love to Linda on both sides of the sky, I don’t know why that song is so underrated. I’m halfway into the song and I think it would be a good thing to add to the channel
Thanks. I'll look at it. I have been playing it but haven't broken it down yet.
millstap that’d be dope if it happens man thanks for replying! 🙏🏾
How are you achieve that sound for the solo? Keep up the good work
I think everything is explained in the video description but if anything is missing, let me know.
Obviously the reverse headstock and reverse bridge pickup along with the reverse pickup magnet staggers all have an effect on the tone.
But in a recent interview, Eddie Kramer was saying that one reason why a reverse strat sounds different is because the chambered part of the body is now on the thicker strings and that makes it resonate differently.
What do you think?
For me, I think the body has the least amount of effect but I may be wrong. They all have some effect but I just don't notice much from the reverse body. I did put a reverse neck on my right handed body but since all bodies sound different, it's hard to tell what is making the difference. I still think the headstock makes the biggest difference.
@@millstap does the large headstock shape have any difference between the precbs shape
@@millstap I’ve always wondered about that. The pickups are pretty much mounted to a plastic pickguard, how much does the wood actually play in the tone? I could see maybe if the pickguard was metal or pickups were screwed directly into the wood. Then the wood might play into how the pickups might sense the vibration of the wood.
@@mikedreucci4236 The wood definitely can make a difference. That is why the vintage guitar guys are always bragging about finding a light weight Strat because, to them, they sound better. I can vouch for that they sound different, more woody. It is something with the light Alder that makes the strings sound different. You can feel the whole guitar resonate more even when unplugged. Neither is better but I do really like my light Strat. It has its own character which is hard to find nowadays because all of the new wood is very dense and heavy.
Millsap...how you mentioned turning down the tones on the guitar....Clapton referred it to the "woman tone" for ex...if you are on the neck...the top tone knob should be turned up 9-10, while you turn down the lower tone knob to like a 4-6.....and vice versa whenyour on the bridge pickup....really cool sound. jimi used that setting
I'll check it out. I'm sure I never tried that. I'm not sure it will work the same on my guitars because I added a jumper wire so that the lower tone control works on the bridge pickup too.
I got excited I thought it was muds
Impressive tho....nice amps
Love the head stock nod to Jimi
I'm getting old. What's muds?
@@millstap maybe they mean muddy waters original version of the song?
Hey may like Fender.
Awesome tone. What univibe do you use?
It is the Classic Amplification Vibe-Baby but they don't make them anymore. If I were going to buy one today, I would check out the new Sir Henry vibe by Tinsley Audio. www.tinsleyaudio.com/pedals. He is also Kenny Wayne Shepherd's amp tech.
Actually, I double checked and Brad is going to make a few more before he retires. Here is his website. www.classicamplification.net/info/news2018.html. And his vibes are more reasonably priced.
What's that amp on top the Vibroverb??
That is a reissue Fender reverb unit in Tweed. To the right of it on the Super Reverb is an original 1963 reverb unit. I use one for each Bassman. I have it turned down pretty low in this video.
What is the chord you are playing at 9:34?!? Would've been nice if you took the time to explain it man
That's just the C chord shape of F as per the CAGED method.
please can u tell me which tune has your guitar ?
From top string (lower pitch) to bottom (higher pitch)
D#
G#
C#
F#
A#
D#
Standard tuning, but half step down. Classical Jimi
can you do Jimi's once I had a woman?
I'll look at it. I can't make any promises. I made promises in the past only to break them because I always seem to get sidetracked on to something else. I still need to do part 3 of Lover Man from Valleys of Neptune.
What does it mean your in c but tuned down a half step? What's the tuning plz
The guitar is tuned down 1/2 step to Eb. So, when you play an A on the neck, in actuality, it is an Ab. A C on the neck would actually be a Bb.
@@millstapThanks for replying bro. But another question lol why not just play half a step down why do u choose to tune it down? I'm really struggling here 😵
@@RutherfordBcrazy All four of my Strat are tuned down to Eb. Jimi and Stevie Ray played in that tuning almost 100% of the time. I like less tension on the strings to help my old hand bend the strings easier. Plus, every time I try to learn a Hendrix song, it is usually in Eb or even sometimes D like Voodoo Chile. Occasionally you will hear him in E but I stay aways from those songs. He almost always did another version in Eb.
@@millstap Wow I didn't think about that! I'm learning heaps from all your videos and thanks again for replying.
What years is the black face Super Reverb?
On the left is 1964 and the right is 1966.
Nice! I've got a 66 and a Silverface 68 that sat unused for about 30 years, although right now I'm playing through a 63 Sears Silvertone 1484. Nice tone by the way.
@@yourtubesteak Those amps don't like sitting idle. Mine have only been sitting for maybe 6 months and they act up a little when I turn them on. Ideally you should turn them on and let them run for about 30 minutes every 3 months or so. I don't know how anyone handles a huge collection like Bonamassa has. Those amps need to be used. I know that when I start using mine again, I will need to go in and re-check, re-tension the sockets, spray DeoxIT in the pots, and clean everything. The more you play them, the happier they are.
I had to get the 68 Silverface serviced before I used it. Needed tubes and some other work but now it sounds like a million bucks.
can you break these riffs down?
Your guitar is grounded?
Without noises will be excellent
How do you play it?
Lol, did I skip how to play it?
what key is it in
I am working on this song again. It is in Bb but on my guitar that is tuned to Eb, it is in B.
Please get your right hand in the shot more.
This just you playing it I want to learn how not listen. So can you please break it down in stead of just playing it please
I'll put it on my list. My list is getting pretty long nowadays.
