Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 жов 2022
- With a limitless range of work with artists from Ozzy Osbourne to Miley Cyrus, Post Malone to Eddie Vedder, Dua Lipa to Elton John, Grammy-Award winning producer and guitarist Andrew Watt exemplifies the ability to stretch and evolve. He's known for instantly putting his collaborators at ease, imbuing his work with a sense of fun and for knowing exactly how best to make sure his counterparts shine. Andrew is a highly-skilled musician, who's songwriting is marked with some serious musicianship and a fervent curiosity and love for musical instruments. A studied steward of the craft, his studio is filled with an incredible array of gear for which we were lucky enough to hear the sounds and stories behind a small sampling of his most beloved guitar tones.
When you’re after a particular guitar tone, Andrew comes from the school of number one most important thing is the player. After that, it doesn't matter the price on the guitar, it could be great at any cost. What matters is how it feels in your hands, what it does and how it makes you sound. When you find the right one, it’ll make you write differently and might even inspire new songs.
In addition to highlighting some of his favorite guitar sounds from his deep collection of gear, including his 1961 Gibson SG, ‘46 Martin D-28, ‘58 Fender Strat, ‘67 Fender Tele, and a ‘64 Hofner bass, Andrew takes us through his pedalboard including his different fuzz, wah, delay, phaser, chorus and overdrive pedals. Finally, he offers up insights on how his guitar playing informs his producing, why he loves collaboration as a form of musical conversation and how everything he does is in service of the song.
After you watch the video, be sure to check our article for even further discussion with Andrew Watt on his latest productions and some recently acquired gear that’s provided some fresh inspiration to his guitar playing including a Maestro Phaser pedal, Arp 2600, and the Oberheim OB-X8: www.guitarcenter.com/riffs/in...

I'm here after listening to Pearl Jam's dark matter. It feels good to know this guy whom is only 2 years older than me and I strangely share a birthday with, loves Pearl Jam and literally brought life back into that band. He has helped them Revitalize themselves and in my book is now a genius
100
He pushed them to a new hidden level. Also kudos to Ed for talking the band into it and making that call.
SG stands for "Solid Guitar."
LOVE the newest Ozzy and Iggy records he did!! Good to hear that sound still has some relevance
I’m such a fan of this guy. I love his passion for music. Hopefully I can be as good as him one day
Where are you all fans have been when they toured with California Breed? Or when Andy tried to push his solo career.
@@cornucopia8591 speaking for myself, I didn't know about his artist career…I was speaking from a producer standpoint
I'm a huge fan of this guy! he is incredibly talented and his passion for music really shows in every work he does!
very, very cool! ive always wanted to see andrew watt's studio and gear. thank you
I just heard this kid's name for the first time in a few years just right now. I had completely forgotten about him. but, a few years ago when I was a Hofner endorser, I got a call from the US rep for Hofner. they asked me if I can loan out one of my basses to a young session player. I ended up meeting with him within a day or so. but, I seem to recall him having a lot longer hair back then.
but, I didn't realize how young he is...he's almost young enough to be MY kid - and I'm not yet 50!
Loving the guitar
Watt is my favorite new guitarist! After hearing him on Ordinary Man I started looking him up. He totally got me into some new artists that he has produced. The new Ozzy album is amazing! I can't wait to see what he does next!
MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS GUYS! ❤🤓👍🏻
I love it! Badass Get'm Get'm guitar straps!!
This is great!
Amazing 🤩
Get ready people's.
The guitar/ music revolution is in the oven.
We're cooking up the greatest sounds since the 1960s 🎉😊.
A little secret about the fundamental of our electric guitar sound is the fender twin.
Really hope he tells Mike McCready that Jeff Beck story when recording the new Pearl Jam record. McCready’s one-take improv solos need serious reigning in.
So this is what it looks like to see someone living your dream hahahah
😭
Marshall based his amp off a Bassman not a Twin. But I bet Keith loved it. Although I wish you got him to use the Ampegs and Boogies again. His best sound by a million miles. C'mon Exile then Some Girls? Then the live combo of both?
The crazy thing about that Les Paul/SG he is talking about in the beginning is that he’s saying there are two of that kind, and I’m pretty sure Tom Bukovac has the other one 😮
I’d like to play with Watt one day
Awesome video!
My pleasure Buddy!
OH MY
Nice one! Andrew Watt is the man! Suprised he uses some really basic cheap pedals.
Shout out to Tym Guitars in Brisbane, Australia with the Big Mud pedal.
Oooo
I MAKE REEFFFS why does he say it like that 🤣🤣
舞庁ナイス～
Uh pardon me but, this gentleman appears to exude an extraordinary level of enthusiasm akin to that of a fervent admirer rather than a seasoned producer. Is his intention perhaps to lay to rest the very essence of rock 'n' roll once and for all?
"Hacnkey Diamonds" is the best Stones album in 30 years. So there's THAT.
Fuck notes just go tchunk tchunk tchunk oooooh
LOLOLOLOL 🤣
SG means "Solid Guitar" not "Standard Guitar"
Yup, he uses way too much compression when producing. This dude killed the new PJ record
Andrew saved RockNRoll!!
Iggy Pops new album is just great, Andrew really knocked it out of the park.
Lovely nails darling.
Unquestionably a great producer. Not impressed, though -- at all -- by his playing, his board or his sound.
That's a annoying guitar sound 0:18
Why is Pearl Jam using him to produce their new album? I guess they want their new album to be as terrible as Gigaton
How do you feel now?
Oye porque le tocas la mano sin el permiso de alguien a Jin de BTS y todavía lastimaste a Jin porque tenía la mano mal déjalo empaz 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
I'm surprised this guy gets booked to produce Ozzy and the Rolling Stones. His setup is outdated. Doesn't sound great, doesn't sound modern. I don't get it.
Me neither and he’s really not that great of player
then why aren’t u him
His trousers say it all.
He is there to enhance the artist and is obviouly quite popular amongst them. His client list is A list...
I think this is something we as listeners will never understand as these are on the producing have a different perspective of things
