Useful video Chris. Thanks. What about camera? Is there a way to get a decent guitar sound while using zoom on mobile phone?

Your great and thank you. John Mayer is good but he is just the flavor that is popular at the moment and by no means a bluesman. He is just a great player that chooses to play blues music. John's facial convulsions for lack of a better word are comical at a minimum. John will definitely be in the top 50 guitarist of all time but he falls way short on being the greatest.

Interesting and helpful. Thank you

If you really want the single pup magic, try to commission or construct a custom stacked Filtertron made with a rail pole piece, neodymium magnets, 40awg or thicker (smaller number) wire, a wide P90 style bobbin so it can still reach about 6k ohms, and then put it in the true middle position of a 24 fret guitar AKA the 36th fret position. Then 1-meg pots (I don't remember if an audio-taper was better for a tone pot or not, do your own research real quick) all around with a treble bleed, and get that passive mid control tone knob thing, so now you'd have two tones (mid and high) and one volume for one pickup. The thicker wire gives you more highs, the neodymium magnet gives you more bass, the wide bobbin smooths it out, and the stacked construction makes the tone clearer and more focused. Plus being in the middle position makes it pick up progressively more of a fundamental tone as you work your way down the fretboard, shortening the strings and reducing their potential energy, ergo making it "louder" to compensate for the virtually shorter strings. Suppose you want to go even a bit further with a slight sacrifice to where you can pick. In that case, you can add a steel horseshoe that comes up from the opposite magnet pole and wrap around the top of the strings like a Rickenbacker bass, that should focus the magnetic field even more, especially if you keep it kinda narrow like 2-3cm wide and 3-5mm thick.

I picked up an LP copy several years ago that had been completely stripped, all the holes and routes filled with something resembling bondo, a trapeze tailpiece, and a mid 60s Harmony goldfoil screwed right into the bondo at the bridge position, more or less. I bought it for the pickup and the fairly nice hardshell case for 70 bucks and had no thoughts about using it. I messed around plying it a few times, it played great and the frets had definitely been dressed up by someone competent. It sat for quite a while and by chance ended up in a gig bag I usually carry a Tele in and got taken to rehearsal inadvertently. That was the first time I played it through a legit rig at real stage volume and Holy S%&t. That pickup came alive and was a completely different experience with tones and especially feel and response. Incredibly articulate, dynamic, touch sensitive and very responsive to volume knob. Yes it is extremely bright but it has a surprisingly rich low end with amazing clarity. I do a couple little things to help roll off some of the particular high frequencies that can be harsh without cutting out the clarity. This PUPs can be so bright you can kind of hear the actual metal the string is made of, not always a bad thing. I put in a 250k pot which had a small effect barely. That runs through a 3 way switch that selects between the normal path and 2 different tone circuits. One is a fixed resistor for now and the other is just a small tone pot I have mounted in the control cavity so I have some options for different situations. It has worked very well and is easy to tweak. My whole point before the edible kicked in was that experimenting with pickup placement is super easy in this guitar so I've had the opportunity to do a lot of it and will be filling in some bondo soon as a result lol. Subtle changes can make a drastic difference in performance due to some physics and such. So if possible do some experimenting. After using this as my main instrument for probably 300 gigs over the last 4 years or so I recently started using a 335 again and I couldn't believe how much I felt my playing had improved from having to get everything I needed from that 1 pickup and be constantly using different techniques to achieve those tones. It was the first time I felt a big leap forward had happened in a long time so yeah, single pickup guitars are cool. Ive restarted this video probably 25 times while typing this so I hope the extra views are helpful. Have a good day.

I use my klon for many many years (it was like 500$ at the time I bought it) , its still a kinda love hate relationship and even today I’m wondering do i still like it , its on and off on my board and last night gig i had it after the Rat (big box) and the gain was around 11 and pushing the deluxe reverb , it sounded ok , cut through the mix quite well but I can’t say that i was very pleased with the sound , gonna try iit n front of the rat next time

Very informative. Just wondering how zoom has to be configured to see the DAW as the audio source 😊

I like it. Will try to incorporate more slides. Very tasteful stuff here.

Nylon String Guitars are great for beginners because you don't have to push down as hard on the strings to get a good sound.

Came here to know more on envelope filters. Stayed for the playing :)

Be helpful to know a pattern to use ❤

I’m glad I’m a drummer. Wow

Thanks for addressing the external pedalboard point - have really struggled to get a logic some to do my board justice in the same way as a real amp does. Looking forward to trying this

I use waves CLA plugins. They really sound great

You have highlighted 4 great guitar players here which is inspiring and has sent me down the rabbit hole. Thanks for that. Another guitar player that is in this wheelhouse that I like a lot is Johnny A

Love the video. I would pay for a 1:1 workflow.

Offer tabs and background track and you would really increase subscriptions

Why does every asshole these days play and wiggle their guitar after ringing out a chord or sumthin? Especially when using tremolo or vibrato, its already doing the effect. No need to wiggke your guitar

man you skipped the most important part

Ok, this one does sound good. But, I've just been using the free Amplitibe/Tonex stuff for the amps into Logic Pro's stock cabinets. Amplitube has good amps but bad cab IRs. Logic has bad amps but very good cab IRs. Put them together, and you're cooking.

Do you have any experience of these needing volume turned up from the guitar? Garcia used an OBEL to solve this issue so he could adjust his volume without losing the pedal's sensitivity and response. Do you know of any other solutions to this?

Nice work! Love that soulful jazzy sound. I find the tone quite acceptable before compression and overdrive, where you don't get any grit going into the filter. So there's nothing between the guitar and the filter 😊

Sucks when an old bands says it when its there timing problems not yours

Bro, the envelope filter adds volumen or body? Cause I got the mxr bass ef and it sounds a little boost when I turn on. I use the rc booster then the Duellist and at the end the filter before mods and delay and reverb.

You are awesome to the core Thank you so much for this beautiful video Looking forward for more keep'm coming please You're fantastic

bebe wah owdal type love it

Just watching this video now and I heard that first lick and went, corrrr that's a tasty lick. Then I looked at the title of the video 😂

Great lesson but please get a better camera angle on that left hand close up. Hard to see what you're doing

To get more attack put a klon or boost before the envelope filter. And drive after too.

Can it do the clocked wah sound like Bowie first 4 albums with fuzz and wah

The first time I I saw an envelope filter in a video clip was Edward Collins a girl like you early nineties. I was buying pedals and wanted that sound but the pedal he used was 400 $. Now I can buy one for 35$.

why are you using logic if we can directly set the sound card as input in Zoom?

Useful comment about overdrive on a clean amp, as I was impressed by the boost, but underwhelmed by the overdrive. So much so that I wasn't sure it was working properly. I'm guessing that vids with a great overdrive sound are using other overdrive pedals or overdriven amp

could you repeat the name of the guitars these are? You talk so fast, I couldn't understand you. Sorry

Sounds great. Still figuring out how to get my perfect tone!

Out of the 8 guitars i own 5 have a single pickup.. 2 tom delonge style strats with an invader pickup.. an epiphone coronet with a new yorker single pickup.. a double cut les paul junior with one p90 and a tele style with a single hunbucker.. i dont know why but they just sound better.. its basic and pure rock/punk.. i mainky play rhythm with few solos.. so suits my needs perfectly.. nice video..

Seems like it could be useful information but it feels like you have a lack of focus and direction. If a nice rambling conversation about a guitar your friend built with pups another friend built was your goal then well done. Great content, please consider a more accurate title.

I bought an audio interface but I'm still struggling to set it up. Your video didn't help. You should specify it's for Mac Users in the title.

All 3 licks were great. I'd like to hear a whole solo from you.

True. It gets fuzzy muddy and fizzy.

a whole video because you bought the only delay pedal that doesn't have a time knob

Vox in logic sounds great

Sorry I'm late to the party but this video looks sexy! Great camera purchase Thanks mate!

Nice. Do you offer the tabs?

Awesome vid!

Good video. But I think you should have gone over phase alignment when using both a direct and miked signal. You will get frequency loss while mixing if you don't zoom into the transients with phase alignment software. The miked signal will be off because of the tiny amount of time it takes for sound to travel to the mic, compared to the pick-up signal.

All the high gain amps sound absolutely awful. Wth some added plugins you can make them sound a little decent but overall they're rather useless. Apple really needs to step up and move into 2024 with their amp sims

W0W!

W0W!

Very nice ! Thanx !!
