When I was a teenager, my buddy got a book with a bunch of these techniques detailed in it. I remember using the church bell quite a bit because it was so unlike anything that should come out of a guitar, and it was very eerie sounding.
@Igor Schenker used it on his Save Yourself album. He’s played it live quite a bit since then. @Cam This video was cool, thanks for making it. Every guitar I own has one - I even put wham bars on my acoustics 😁 -joking. The one Zakk trick reminds me of the one Vai did on Blue Powder. Thanks again for the videos!
Awesome Cam!!! You're a natural on camera, and your lessons are always so much fun!!! Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your talents with the guitar community!!! Rock~on!
When I heard the dirt bike, i was literally gonna cry if you didn't transition to Kickstart My Heart. Thank you for doing that. That completly made my day.
I've been waiting 15 years for a TH-cam video like this. I'm sure there's some out there but this is probably the most straight to the point video on weird guitar sounds I can find lol
If anyone wants to hear 'The Clink' 1:35 in a studio setting, listen to the outro section of The Sky is Red by Leprous. Matt Bellamy from Muse is also well known for doing this trick at live shows.
Wait that's how they do it in TSIR? Crazy, i even saw them live and didn't notice lol. I was too busy enjoying the absolute experience a Leprous live is lol
There is a band called Bent Knee that recently had a live show and at their last song, the guitarist performed an mind blowing solo including that trick, it actually gave me chills
There's this thing used in a couple of Gojira songs where you slide your finger up the fretboard gently towards the first fret to make natural harmonics while simultaneously scraping the long edge of the pick down from the high e towards the low E (or from D towards the C as is more often the case). That sounds pretty cool.
I like to do a pinch harmonic on the B string, bend it up and also slide it up about 4 frets, then release the bend and pull off to the fret you started on. I do something similar to the Jake E. Lee one. I either pull up, or push down (slowly) on the bar as the harmonics ring out. Gives an eerie overtone using the A and G, and also the A, D and G. I was doing the "Lizard" effect in '85 when I got my first guitar. (Ibanez Roadstar II RS440)
Ok...one minor issue....the "dirtbike" was only a Mick Mars lick, as you played it. The Montrose version was played by Sammy and he used a lap steel, not an electric guitar with a tremolo bar
@@CameronCooper lol. Hey, I'm older than dirt and I only learned of this pretty recently watching Sammy Hagar's Roadtrip and watching him clarify this and then play it on a red custom lap steel🤣 You know what is f*cking great about it? Mick Mars said he learned the lick from listening to Ronnie Montrose so that suggests maybe Mick also assumed Ronnie played it with a whammy bar! That's what is soooooo cool about "noisy" guitar licks like this or even Morello's "dj scratching"
@@CameronCooper there is one that way does in the for the love of god where he reverses the bar but he does it somehow it reaches a harmonic that I cant get I dunno how he does this at 2:42 th-cam.com/video/CuX1qwGtLzA/w-d-xo.html could this be caused by his sustainer harmonic effect option? one of the toggles of sustainiac creates harmonics and i think that's why cause he is using his guitar with the sustainer pickup which is FLO, so i think when he hits that note and presses on the bar like a dive the sustaniac creates the end harmonic
A few tricks the guys from Gorguts do: playing the strings above the nut, playing two strings doing a pinch harmonic in one of them, loosening the strings and hitting them against the fretboard (outro to Sweet Silence), muting the strings and pressing the pick against the high E and B strings (intro to Inverted). And one Brazillian guitarrist Salomao Habib does where he crosses the low E string and A strings.
Apparently the Van Halen one is called "autoflanging" - that one where you do pull-offs with the left hand and slide your right hand along the string to get those moving harmonics.
there's this old video of Steve Vai which I can no longer find, but as he was showing all the animal sounds, he also showed a VERY COOL shy, "meow" sound, I cannot explain it in words and I also forgot enough from it so that I can no longer do it on the guitar, but it was with a very slight upbend on the trem bar, while playing a very soft high note somewhere in the upper register, making a sort of cute "meow?!?!" sound like a young kitty politely asking for milk :D not sure if u know it or if you can do it, but if you do, then I'd be SOOO grateful to see it in one of your videos ♥
When I was a teenager Ozzy came out with the Speak of the Devil live album, with Brad Gillis playing more aggressive than any guitarist I'd ever heard. I was blown away. It was like he was playing his guitar with a dull bladed chain saw. I STILL get chills thinking about that sound, and those crazy trem slaps he'd do to get that signature Gillis... hell, I don't even know what to call that sound. It's like someone grabbed a badger by the throat and started shaking it to death. Up until then I'd never head someone play so aggressively. Of course then enter Zakk Wylde!
@@pumpkinheadghoul Yeah, you're probably right, but I think his lead playing is more melodic. Listen to his playing on 'Shot in the dark.' Great stuff. That having been said, I bought the first album with Zakk, 'No rest for the wicked' and loved it. Learned everything on it, my faves being 'Miracle man' and 'Breaking all the rules.' Great stuff. Both excellent guitarists.
I've got one I'd like to add! I've never seen or heard anybody else do it so I don't know if it has a name or anything, so I'll do my best to explain how I do it. basically I will press down the 9th fret B string with my index finger, then tap the 12th fret b string with my picking hand, then pull off back to the 9th, then tap the 12th again, then (here's the cool part) while still holding the 12th fret with my picking hand I will pull off the note that was on the 9th fret to open so the opposite side of the string is ringing out, then tap the 9th again, then you're back where you started so you can repeat. you alternate between the normal tap to pull of and the opposite side tap to pull off and you can move that shape up and down whatever string you like or vary up the distance between the two notes. I found out if I do this on the B string with the two notes on the 14th and 11th fret the pulled off notes are almost the same but if I do the same frets on a different string they're way off. when you move the shape up or down the string it sounds like one note goes up while the other goes down or vise versa depending on which direction you go. I figured this technique out by tapping a random note without muting the strings and I would hear two notes ring out at the same time. I experimented with tapping a note and alternating which side of the string I mute, and found out you can make two different notes from the same fret simply by muting either side of the string while tapping.
I am 51 years old. I started playing in the 1980's when I was 12......I am so desensitised, everything you just played sounded like MUSIC to me!!...haha.... And can think of songs with them in it!!...hahaha....Ironically enough, all my Floyd Rose guitars are blocked off and I never really use my whammy anymore...haha...Thanks for a trip down memory lane. Subscribed...Cheers!
You can create a cool bell sound when you stick your pick under the low e string, over the a string and under the d string like when you dont want to lose your pick while not playing. Then position it over the harmonic frets like 12th fret and tap the flat pick.
I absolutely LOVED the Bell effect and the Jake E. Lee one as well. I’m an Absolute Beginner and I’m attempting like hell to learn how to play guitar. At the age of 52 going on 53 it’s hard for Me to learn.
The coolest part about the double harmonic squeal is hearing the overtones going bananas and getting almost a "bass drop" sound in the background... either that or it sounds like an alien invasion or some computer on the USS Enterprize going into meltdown. Just all kinds of fun.
@@CameronCooper oh no, we're talking about things like putting six low E strings on the guitar then shoving drum sticks under the strings at extreme volume, not necessarily pedals anyway super cool, love that crossed-string "church bell" one (my favorite is on a fender-style with no tree on the G string, pluck the length of string behind the nut on the G with your left hand and then immediately squeeze that length of string an obnoxious high harmonic will jump out of the open G string that you then bend up by squeezing)
The Church bell can be done by taking your pick and crossing it between the A and D stringsso the pick is trapped in between the strings around the 7th 5th or 3rd fret harmonic with a clean tone.
Here are some that I'd recommend you to try out: Airplane sfx: bar the 3 lower strings with the whammy bar and slide them down from the 5th to the 1st fret, speed up as you get to the third fret to make it sound like the plane is getting closer. Opera singer: slide the whammy bar on the high e around the 12-15 fret area at a full and semi tone intervals, you need no distortion and high gain (compressor) with a dark tone for this to work.
double harmonic is the fretted version of the satch scream. Joe Satriani's famous whammy bar technique where he does a pinch harmonic on the G/B string with the whammy bar depressed and then gradually pulls up. Also the "lizard" was used by Joe in his song Ice 9.
I have an interesting one I like to use. Loosen the e string until you can move it over to the same nut slot as the b string, tune it up to pitch as a second b string. Makes a pretty cool effect
There's a simple trick I used to play on friends, and it usually took them a while to catch on. This only works with a floating trem. Tell them you know a way to bend a string and make it go DOWN in pitch instead of UP. Fret the 3rd (G) string at about the 5th fret. Now, actually pick the 2nd (B) string, then bend up on the note you fretted. This will drop the bridge, causing the open 2nd string to drop in pitch. It sounds complicated, but it's dirt simple.
This is also why floating tremolos make unison bends more tricky.. as you also need to slightly bend up the note that's supposed to stay on one of the strings while you bend the other string..
Great vid! I like the "crying" effect in Roy Buchanan's messiah song - I think he does it with the tone knob but you can also cheat and do it with a wah pedal. Also in the same song he does picking down past the neck over the pickups
this is giving me Dean Winchester Vibes, the way he does this Dean relating facial expressions while doing some of these incredible sounds is actually comedic and entertaining to watch. Love this video in all glory
This was fun and a good idea as well as informative! I delayed watching because I was thinking some real annoying sounds that I had to be in right mood before I watched it. Thank You!
You can also get a bell sound by "wedging" the pick between strings (over the 5th string, under 4th string, over 3rd string) at the pickup area/hole and playing behind the pick in single strokes. This works best with a clean tone or on an acoustic.
Great video. That Zakk Wylde thing, I could swear her got that from Jake E Lee? It's cool anyhow. I'm curious if you have ever tried to figure out that weird technique that Jake does on the live Bark at The Moon video tour with Jake during his solo spotlight during suicide solution when he flips his left hand over the neck, stretches it out and uses his thumb and pinky to play some cool sounding stuff. Anyway great video thank you!
Very cool. The "elephant" one brings to mind the opening of My Bloody Valentine's "Touched." It's throughout the whole instrumental. I'm assuming it's the same technique, as it sounds dead-on.
Oh, one that works real good is the train whistle - back pickup, volume knob down, blast a G major triad harmonic at 5th fret, full distortion and some reverb. Hit the D/G/B, reach across and depress whammy with left hand and bring it up while swelling volume with right, then back off the volume and repeat immediately, lowering whammy more slowly the second time for Doppler effect. We may have to grab a cuppa sometime if we're in the same geographic location.
That was cool. I'm struggling to think of any you've missed! Though possibly related, for a long time I've been curious how Randy Rhoads got some of his intense upper-register pinch squeals with his live playing. Particularly noticeable on the Tribute album.

This was fun and a good idea as well as informative! I delayed watching because I was thinking some real annoying sounds that I had to be in right mood before I watched it. Thank You!
I can't believe the church bell worked. I honestly thought you were trolling.😄👍🎸🎸🎸
The whammy bar is a funny thing. It can be addictive and a crutch, but if you do these tricks now and then, they’re awesome.
The rarest thing in the world is a TH-camr who can KEEP ME WATCHING. O_O
You are that. : )
0:45 for whom the bell tolls
RiP Eddie ❤️
Great playing as per Cameron
Thanks
The game changer. Miss him every fucking day.
You can also get a bell sound by "wedging" the pick between strings (over the 5th string, under 4th string, over 3rd string) at the pickup area/hole and playing behind the pick in single strokes. This works best with a clean tone or on an acoustic.
Great production big ups bro ❤
Simliar to the 'church bell' is the 'snare drum'. Cross the A string over the low E around the 4th fret. Low gain, mute, and strum for snare sound.
Everyone go to a guitar store and do all of these soon.
And keep doing them until told to stop. Then play Stairway...
1:06 i see what you did there...
Great video. That Zakk Wylde thing, I could swear her got that from Jake E Lee? It's cool anyhow. I'm curious if you have ever tried to figure out that weird technique that Jake does on the live Bark at The Moon video tour with Jake during his solo spotlight during suicide solution when he flips his left hand over the neck, stretches it out and uses his thumb and pinky to play some cool sounding stuff. Anyway great video thank you!
Yes inspired the the suicide solution intro...
Blud flexed all his guitars while simultaneously showing us tricks.
Gotta keep the people distracted from my stupid face 😂
the clown music sounds like an insane intro to a song (insane in a good way)
rofl never heard the church bell one. Pulled out a guitar to try it and it worked and seriously was like LOL wtf
1:00 this how exactly what Brian May does when he dive bombs
Very cool. The "elephant" one brings to mind the opening of My Bloody Valentine's "Touched." It's throughout the whole instrumental. I'm assuming it's the same technique, as it sounds dead-on.
Oh, one that works real good is the train whistle - back pickup, volume knob down, blast a G major triad harmonic at 5th fret, full distortion and some reverb. Hit the D/G/B, reach across and depress whammy with left hand and bring it up while swelling volume with right, then back off the volume and repeat immediately, lowering whammy more slowly the second time for Doppler effect. We may have to grab a cuppa sometime if we're in the same geographic location.
Awesome. Subbed. That church bell is amazing.
That one at 0:30 is used in the gojira song « amazonia »
That was cool. I'm struggling to think of any you've missed!
Though possibly related, for a long time I've been curious how Randy Rhoads got some of his intense upper-register pinch squeals with his live playing. Particularly noticeable on the Tribute album.
Thinking about Initial D at 1:27.
The dirtbike is also used by Manilla Road, iirc before Motley Crue used it
This unironically got a good chuckle out of me...
The British siren one reminds me of Def Leppard
