These Things Make Noises
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2023
Hi, I'm Dan. Welcome to 'These Things Make Noises'. This channel is a place to share my favourite six string gear, sounds and all things that make noises.
I've spent the last decade playing guitar in what could be described as a heavy indie/alternative, shoe-gazey band (excuse the pretentious pigeon holing, it's necessary I promise).
I'm not promising to be the best player in the world... I mean i'm not even the best guitarist in my own band! But what I lack in technical ability, I make up for in knowing how to get the damn thing I'm hearing in my head out into the speakers!
So, expect cool sounds, barely adequate riffs and terrible jokes.
But most of all expect all things that make noises. x
* I am now offering 1-1 Consultations for any guitar tone/recording/production/songwriting things you might need help with. It's an introductory offer of £50 but will go up in the new year! calendly.com/thesethingsmakenoises/consultation

That chord trick… I’ve been playing for about 10 years…. Thanks for making me feel like an idiot 😂
Which amp do you use?)
what amp will i use
Dude bougth a DS1 and a RAT and had no money left for a tuner...
Your touch is pure magic.
It all sounded like shit. I think your guitar was out of tune.
Would you recommend strymon pedals for shoegaze??
Too much talking than the actual playing
SPX 90 and Midiverb 2. He would use both the reverse reverb and gated reverb presets. That's pretty much it.
Talks about the NYC, then plays the opamp
File this one under: “Gear I used to own and then sold when it was no longer useful, but then became cool and super useful 20 years later.”
facelift alice in chains
Thanks for a great video!
DS-1 is straight Nirvana
DS-2
Main thing about the DS1 is that it was designed mostly as a kind of “puxed amp boost”, like putting it to boost a slightly broken amp like a marshall, thats why it sounds so mid scooped when going through a clean amp
thing about the ds1 is that it requires a lot of tweaking amp wise. If you know how to set everything up, youre golden. If not…
DS1- X !
Blasting these pedals right at the camera unfocused wrecks my eyeballs , are you trying to beat me up with that effect ? 😮
Don't try to record a part until you have it down really well! If you neglect to practice the part enough, you'll play it sloppily or tenatively and will probably have to do multiple takes to get it right. The problem is, every time you attempt another take, you lose a little bit of energy and you can feel this when you hear it in the mix. So, get the part down cold, then nail it in one or two takes.
idk if i’m fuckin tone deaf but i don’t hear a difference when he is changing notes
i just recently got a guitar with an amp... *WHAT IS ALL OF THAT-*
Great video! Just wanted to say you are the most british person ever
Very useful, learned a lot
That shitty drum track fucked it up
it is G#Maj because it is in the harmonic minor scale not natural minor that's a very common scale in Alt rock and the added note in this scale creates some cool chords , Arctic Monkeys use that a lot.so that tip is just wrong ….overall you have great videos keep rocking !
What is the first song in the background?
just get the Kelley Dark Side, does everything
I'm with you on this. My guitars are in E flat standard and I quite often drop The bottom E flat. But also I do like to dig in, combination of the two means I've gone to Mondo slinkies which are 10.5-52 Also regarding bottom end, if you've got a preamp pedal or a fuzz pedal or anything like that where you can roll the bottom end off having the bottom go into it still affects the behaviour of it and I prefer the way it sounds having it go in and then roll off on the pedal then lighter gauge strings
Everyone seems to be buying these cause all the websites have them backordered. Can't wait to receive mine!
Love kevin shields
Also nirvana, spx 90 was used on nevermind
not even gonna lie i thought you were playing everlong 😭
Интересно! Спасибо!
didnt almost bankrupt the label , that was a lie made to blame mbv and kevin shields for the label's own problems
uh oh i think i prefer the rat also was that bullet with butterfly wings?
Love the RAT! but just to throw some sunshine the other way, the DS1 is a great pedal for recording guitar and getting it clear in the mix.
1: powerchord 2: play
Idk what happened to you but I hope you’re going fine. Your videos are awesome and I’m craving more.
I have no clue what you mean when you keep saying angular. Not new to guitar but this nomenclature has foiled me.
I can’t take this voice anymore ! Bye
This guys voice makes me want to scoop my brain out with a spoon 🥄 His voice sounds so nasally . I feel bad he has to live with that voice . So bad . Smashing pumpkinish , that’s nice oh god 💩
Oh I do however completely agree with a feedback booster. But you’re drunk if you think a tremolo is a bad pedal….but I own an AC30 too so….But then I’m old and I’m a post modernist Shoegaze fanatic. Thanks
Chorus is the best pedal ever….but I own a JC85 so I don’t always need it…..Chorus= Johnny Marr, Robert Smith etc etc….80s indie sounds are stunning….Flanger for John Squire etc and genuinely fantastic background psychedelic tones over verses before going heavy.
Nope….compressor and EQ are fantastic pedals….completely disagree….especially with bright single coil pickups
Really love this channel. I wish I had videos like this when I started playing the guitar
This is a great video. Bunnymen are superb!
Your channel is so addictive
It seem that you aré not understanding what aré you doing at all, you aré a very nice teacher for future generation of new musicians and guitar players, i apreciatte that a lot. A simple guy with no ego overdressing very honest. Keep showing us More of your stuff Man, congrat!!
DS-1 is harder to get the tone out of, it needs specific settings to sound good. Something is wrong here and it’s sounding way too thin.
