I've been leveraging the major pentatonic from the relative minor when playing over minor chords - any "gottchas" from this cheat? So, the b3 from the e.g. G major becomes the b5 of the E minor pentatonic, etc. Does this make sense as a crutch?
@@DVTO Happy to… it’s a few key elements. One…clear balanced …maybe even overly bright tone at the amp. Curtail highs from the guitar tone knob and PU selector. Awareness of picking pressure. Mild neutral overdrive Don’t over do the bass content.
@ OK sure. The trick to those components of tone is very similar to the guitar itself. If possible you want to tame the highs a little. No need for anything above 5k really. Same for bass. Nothing needed in the lows. Anywhere from 80-200htz. Reverb: Duration should be anywhere from 1.2 seconds to 2.5 seconds depending on how big/distant/diffused you want the sound. Another option is a ducking feature on reverb. This allows the onset of the effect to be dynamically controlled. As the level diminishes the reverb blends itself into the sound…very cool. Last is a parameter, pre-delay… this will delay the reverb from starting the reverb until a few hundred milliseconds after the initial attack. This is priceless for maintaining clarity when using a high percentage of reverb in your tone (like JG). By dialing this in you hear the attack clearly and then the reverb effect comes in. So… that’s a lot. Some pedals don’t have any of these controls and might suit your needs. The Kemper has all of them and I love that. As I’m picky and I tailor my reverbs quite obsessively. Delay? Same thing… basically you want to eq the highs and the lows out of it so the effect doesn’t step on the actual note you’re playing. How much? That’s up to you. I like warm delays without any meaningful bass content…generally. As to how many repeats? Usually just one but sometimes more if I want it really trippy. Usually I have two available. Modulation is another parameter. A little wiggle is nice on the delay… just not too much or too fast. This stuff takes time. And everyone has a different idea of what sounds good
@ it doesn’t have to be complex. Sometimes things just work out in terms of rigs. I’m a studio rat so I’m ok with this type of geeky stuff. I’m sure you’ll find a way!
Nice job hittin 10k subs dude!
@@dustylense thnx!!!!
You disappeared for like two days and came back with a full beard and a telecaster
@@chrisryan7551 Hahaha
Your phrasing is so freakin tasty
@@mattc7255 Thank you! I’m trying to sound like Aretha Franklin, SRV, Hendrix and Jerry Garcia.

That's a great analog - regional dialect - makes perfect sense.
Beard looks good! Clapton look 🙂
JJ Cale sounds in there
Chain, chain, chain... 'Ritha!

Do you have any videos on making backing tracks? Great playing as well, this was fun the play along with

@@jacksnax4guitar460thanks Jack! Appreciate it
Great tone. Want to share some comments on how you get there?

And the delay and reverb?

Very nice. Much more detailed than I thought. I have pedals with all sorts of parameters. I’ll work on this. Thanks much.

Good morning Jack. When you solo do you hum your solos or just think about it in your head ?
