    We're getting spoiled, but I hope it continues; all these gems of brilliant ideas connecting genres and centuries in a natural and fun, sometimes funny way; always lots to keep our brains busy; amazing harmonies, melodies, rhythms, tones to keep everyone from getting a big head about whatever we might be pursuing; Tory is always there to humble everyone!

      I don't think the composers of yore were thinking "I'm going to be classic and famous" you know? ...it was just normal stuff for them at that time

    I've written a lil tapping solo for a song my friends and I are recording soon so this video is extremely timely and appreciated as this will help me tidy it up some 😊
    Cheers, Tory!

    Thanks for taking the time to show us this and share your tips.
    I have the same guitar (same color as well ;) and I’m glad for your short demo at the end showing that despite your adjustments to the poles it still had a good “regular” sound. Before I fiddle too much with that I was happy to see that the guitar would not be only able to be used for this technique.

    • @TorySlusher
      @TorySlusher  22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah, it's not really the kind of thing that probably most people will even notice, but the difference in feel the way it responds, it makes a big difference when you're trying to be creative or please yourself in terms of just not having to fight the guitar all the time.... On repeated listening the subtleties I think become apparent, but you know this has always been the case.... There have been oodles of concert pianists and violinists who have complained about this or that instrument etc "oh I would never play bach with that! That's a romantic. Instrument etc". ... Maybe it's that kind of thing, just having all of the factors in one line properly set up, even people of that world have to deal with stuff like action even with a keyboard....

    Always amazing…
    I love when you inject more classical counterpoint elements into your melodies ala Bach and it would be cool for you to have an expression pedal set to bow in volume swells and subtle violin type vibrato effects ala the tc electronic shaker pedal.
    i can imagine it difficult to apply right tap hand vibrato with no thumb anchoring around the neck.

    @kingstownnewmississippi4586 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Thanks Tory. I have spent weeks and weeks tweaking my guitars over the years. A bit of an obsession if I am honest. Care to explain what happens once the electrons are freed from the pickup?? What (if any) effects are in play? Compression?? Sustainer? what amp (or sim)? Do you prefer the guitar volume full on and the amp turned down or amp full up with guitar volume at 2 or 3? Inquiring minds want to know.

    • @TorySlusher
      @TorySlusher  22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Two things, I tend to use my tone control just to take off some of the abrasive highs, but it just seems to change on a day-to-day basis sometimes or definitely if I'm playing in a different location. Secondly, the humbucker is actually kind of a godsend in terms of adjustment because you can't really adjust a single coil aside from just getting the angle right with the two side screws... So you have two levels of adjustment, that is to say, maybe the d string or g-string is a little bit weird in terms of its response or volume, due to a lot of factors with the wood dead spots etc so you have a little bit of extra ability to either make it quieter or louder and balance it out with the highs and lows etc. Sometimes I open the DAW and kind of look at stuff, c levels, but mostly it's just by ear, and feel you know getting things adjusted properly, every guitar is different...

    I’d love to see an all female Jazz Rock Fusion band perform with Tory tearing it up on lead guitar. Have you thought about forming one. I’m new to your channel so maybe it’s already been done?
    There are some extraordinarily talented women in music these days. Of course they’ve always been there but through unfortunate historical circumstances, not really given the chance. Things are changing (And fast) 🙏😊❤️

  • @joseoncrack
    @joseoncrack 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    You have set it up with a crazy low action, right? Also, by raising the pole pieces of the pickups, this gets the strings closer to the magnetic field and apart from the obvious gain in volume and different tone, this will slightly dampen vibration which actually helps for tapping to get a more precise response.

    • @TorySlusher
      @TorySlusher  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It's not so low that conventional playing is affected.....

    So you didn't mention string gauge or if you have played with that? I've seen you using a telecaster and assuming that fretboard radius doesn't matter to you? Thinking that a flatter radius would allow you to drop the strings closer to the fretboard,,,,, I'm just curious since you are getting geeky about your set up on the guitar,,,, You started it!!!!!🤣🤣🤣

    Much compression?
    Do you multi band the high notes jump out so damn full and you stated you don’t play hard in them.

    • @TorySlusher
      @TorySlusher  21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It's like 35% compression. Again, most people don't adjust their pickups properly ie. Balance the highs and lows, which hopefully captures good string action, technique and resonance
