Funny how nobody understood the Star Trek's phasers reference when Ariel said that he liked to set his overdrives to "stun" :) Fantastic episode! Keep it up guys.
Best episode ever! Ariel's such a class act, amazing player and seems like a lovely guy. Such tone and taste. Thank you so much for arranging this, very inspiring.
Your tone is absolutely amazing. I understand that tone comes mostly from the hands, but I really like to know what pickups you have in that SoCo LC. Best regards and thank you.
Adding on to the mention of non-synced tremelo, could you guys do a show about non-synced/non-tap tempo effects in general? Like delay, tremelo, and modulations?
Just recently discovered the Bros. Landreth, they are amazing, great to hear and see such an inspiring slide player at That Pedal Show, Ariel sounded amazing, no matter what pedals were used, so maybe another lesson from this show: Practice more, spend less time worrying about your gear : )
A great video. Ariel is a fabulous player and it was fascinating to hear the different mixes of pedals. I'm a big fan of Lowell George and love compression (I have Slide Rig serial number 008!) and also love tremolo (Ry Cooper's "Feeling Bad Blues" is one of my favourite slide tunes). I also use reverb from my Blues Junior to get a slightly "spacy" effect. Bring back Ariel for more videos!
Slide is such a challenge for me. It's all about the muting. And impossible to do it right without fingerpicking. And the behind the slide Sonny Landreth stuff is mindblowing.
6:03 exactly describes how I use my amp these days- crank it to 10 for your over the top solo sound that cuts through the band, then dial your guitar back from there. You get everything that the amp is capable of at your fingertips.
My favourite is a thick glass slide, but Ariel sure makes his brass slide sound great. I think from darkest to brightest, it's glass, ceramic, brass, chrome.
prob not a great idea as derek pretty much is guitar, cable, and amp. if you're lucky there might be a channel switcher. would be the shortest pedalboard tour ever..!
My favourite slide video ever...and not just cus I'm from Canadia...Amazing playing tone and tips Ariel...I love playing slide and use open tunings sometimes but mostly use standard tuning...thanks for the tips, and insight into your use of gear...very helpful...
Set overdrives to what did he say ? Stun !Lololol Oh Yes he did , oh my word that is so so great, i luv this guy .wheee ,make my day. Bet i say that 10 times before dark.Oh dam and he plays great slide too. What a show !!!
the split second before Mick said "whoa, we went to unmanageable there" I was thinking HOLY CRAP THAT'S THE GREATEST ELECTRIC SLIDE TONE I'VE EVER HEARD
No Way!! I had the privilege of listening to Ariel play and sing with All the King's Men in Winnipeg on more than one occasion. I wondered what would become of his musical career because he has a great voice and great tone. What a nice surprise. Thanks for the video!
G'day Mick & Dan. Hello from Queanbeyan, Australia. I hope you are well in the UK! Sorry the Covid has stuffed you up soooo bad. We are very lucky here in Australia. Late to watch this video. I thought i was watching fairly carefully but I didn't catch what tuning Ariel was using here in this video. What an amazing guitar player! I hope you reply. Dan, I don't know if you got familiar with Wasp/Holden valve Amps before you left Aus. I have a small collection. Getting some great sounds out of them.
Thanks! I was so waiting for the Thorpy Muffroom Cloud to be added and used by the slide player. That fuzz is the one that could really blew everyone's mind up! Slide guitar with the Muffroom is just unbelievably good.
I wish you guys had asked him about his amazing right hand technique. seamlessly using the pick, then cupping it for finger style. that's gotta take some serious practice
First, I love the show, guys. Just makes my day. Every day. Secondly, this video was exceptional. I've been playing for 16 years and have been so afraid of the slide, but this just really set a fire under me, so thank you. I have to say also to Ariel: Dude, you've got it. In an ocean of guitar players, you stand apart. Thanks for the inspiration, gentlemen.
When you are wearing the slide and you fret notes behind the slide, you don't have to move the slide off the strings at all, because fretting notes pushes the strings you are fretting below the slide (so they are not touching). Sonny Landreth talks about this in a bunch of interview/lessons.
awesome show! that slide sound..... it, like that srv Texas sweep thing, is a very unique sound (technic) that can leave even veteran players envious. It really just comes down to we are all different and have invested our time in our own style. So, now its time to break out the slide and do some homework cuz that just sounds AMAZING!
that was some really nice slide playing! he has a similar touch to Jeff Buckley. not many people are familiar with Jeff's slide playing, but for those who have dug deep.... this young fellow is in good company!
hey guys. great video. Mick had something going when he talked of the Flint which made me think - how about an episode on dual purpose pedals like the Flint, a number of new JHS' and a load of other reverb/modulation pedals and why are most paired as reverb/modulation and not so much as fuzz/chorus or the like? Love the show and good work guys... oh and love my new t-shirt from you as well
I was half expecting Dan to start the Vic and Bob "Thigh rubbing during this episode". Fantastic soul to the slide playing there. Need to find some Ariel recordings.
Good Morning from Canada! First off, I love the show; it has become part of my Friday morning ritual. I've learned so much about the guitar and its signal chain from you guys. Although I'm primarily a Bass player, I have a renewed interest in playing guitar after many years of almost no guitar playing. I even bought my first Tele (thanks Dan, for waking that demon). I have managed to develop a pedal purchase habit that has become irksome to the "Ministry of Finance". I tell her it is in the name of science and good experimentation. A show that might be interesting is how using wireless affects the signal going in to the pedal board. To me it seems logical that the only way to get a true signal is to use a lead so that the pedals can interact properly with the guitar's pickups. One last thing, in case nobody mentioned it... the North American equivalent of "Chalk and Cheese" would be "Apples and Oranges". Thank you so much for all the great information, education, and entertainment. Cheers!
This is my favorite episode. Great Q&A, and Ariel answered the questions with nice examples of playing, and touch, and style. If he comes back, ask him about wah, and volume pedals... and germanium fuzz face please.
To me at least, slide always looks easy, but impossibe to make it sound like music. Beautiful beautiful sounds from Ariel. Excellent show guys, cheers.
What a great show, Ariel was superb. May have to get me one of them there slides and have a try. Some top knob twiddling by Dan. Thanks to all 3 of you.
It's fun to watch you guys geek out another guitar player. It's also fun to watch you struggle to play slide. I've never played slide, so I couldn't do any better.
It's hilarious watching Mick and Dan in an almost perpetual state of stank face throughout this video. I have to admit, I was joining in for most of it!
Great episode guys. Mick mentioned a possible future episode featuring The Kingsley Maiden and Page running through a loop. My Maiden, Page DS, and Harlot are still a month out. I'd love to see you guys do an episode that includes the Maiden. So far there are no demos for it. Also want to mention that Simon is such a great guy to deal with and his pedals are 2nd to none. After I received my Minstrel, I knew I had to have more. TPS just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
+DrProgNerd Cheers Dr Prog. That episode is coming. I've been working with it and I'm really liking the way the Maiden and Page work together... into the loop! Gadzooks. We're filming this one next week, should come out befotr Christmas. Cheers!
What amazed me about this and the Andertons video is how quickly I recognized that monster tone, and how much the playing blew me away! I love these guys, I hope they get real far out there :)
Such tasteful playing and tones, and Dan could be on Top of the Pops with those guitar miming skills. Guys, can I ask if the Kingsley Page is the ODS version or the standard boost. I'm guessing it might be the ODS because you are feeding a preamp-level (line-level?) signal into it and the output goes to the FX return? Thanks.
That's interesting because a preamp (the Maiden) will put out a strong line-level signal, which is what you normally want to feed into a power amp or the FX Return of an amp. But in this case the preamp is connected to a standard Page, which I'm guessing is more 'instrument-level'. Maybe the FX Return of the amp in this case is using the lower level -10dbv.
Actually the Page DS (can't call it the "ODS" any more) now has two switches as well - a "lows" switch and a "Mode" switch - like the regular Page (have not up-dated my site yet...). Also on the "DS" version each switch has 3 positions. I am presuming the one in the video is the Page DS.... Simon Jarrett
The regular Page handles hot input signals (including line level) just fine - of course it overdrives more, but you can always back off it's gain control...
This is great. Thanks. Ariel is great. His slide at times reminds me of George Harrison, and he tosses bits of songs by, or covered by, The Beatles relatively frequently into playing in these kinds of videos (there was a bit of ' 'Til There Was You' and what sounded like 'Let It Be' in this one), so I wonder if he likes or has been influenced by George. In addition to seeing Ariel on TPS I really enjoy seeing Mick and Danish Pete, and Danish Pete and Ariel together on the Anderton's channel.
Dan always looks so happy when he's watching someone play. It's almost cute. I noticed when you said that you were running into the effects return you said that you'll be doing that in another episode. I felt like you were saying that just for me (though I suspect I'm not the only person that's brought it up). Keep up the great work guys.
Bloody chuffing love this episode. Such a cool vibe and awesome tones. Nice one fellas. Have just bought back my old telecaster after a year of pestering - time to raise the action and find some brass pipes :-)
Guys, what was that ratling noise going on during the MEGA GAIN slide playing? It doesn't sound like coming from the guitar itself. Loved this one btw!
A (probably stupid) question popped into my head and I'm not really sure where to ask, so I thought this is as good a place as any. Is the speaker cable used for guitar amp/cab the same as that used from a power amp for a PA? Basically, I have some jack to jack speaker cables from my old PA setup. My new ones are Speakon to jack cables. I just wanted to check if it is worth me holding on to my old jack to jack speaker cables as spares for connecting my guitar amp head to its cab.
Dan, can't tell you how inspiring it was to hear you....learning. Maybe there is hope for my playing, as I see everyone sounds "less than great" when they are learning. Thanks for the vid!
You know, he brought up an amazing concept that totally helped my slide playing. He said you need to get a slide that "fits your finger." BOOM! My problem was not having stability or a good fit. My slide is a half sized glass one that is way wider than my finger. It ALWAYS slips, resulting in a pathetic, squeaky, scrapping, awful, weak sound. After this show, I began to put in on my middle finger, bracing it with my index and ringer finger. Totally nails a good sound when it's stable! I guess I don't have to buy a new one!
You can get them to Europe via Canadian post! ;-) Kingsley pedals are hand-made by one man, Simon Jarrett, in Canada, and he's got a 2 month waiting list at the moment so I don't think there will be a European distributor.
ForViewingOnly Good point. The problem is that it's kind of difficult to calulate the exact price of an item sent from outsider the EU. I live in Denmark. And we got a shit load of different taxes :-)
You guys with your bloody pedals! I still think plugging straight in gives the best tone usually, but then I have no pedals (a-ha!), except for a wha-wha, but don't consider that a pedal - more like another instrument. Ariel is a sublime maestro - I loves his playing...thanks guys!!!
I had somebody like you in last week to help him sort out his rig. Mick here. He came in an amp guy because he was emotionally connected to not ‘cheating’ with pedals. Needless to say, once he’d heard a few things, he went home an amp and pedal guy. :0)
Part of the reason I watch these videos is because of you two, having a guest ruins it a bit for me. I'd rather see you guys play slide badly than this dude play it well. If I want to see him play there are, I'm sure, hundreds of videos for that. Just my preference.
As someone else wrote it's all about the muting. both left and right hand muting. it's how i pick a slide player from a regular player. like bass players they always muting strings that they don't want ringing. great show.
The best tone was with the gain cranked. Then when the compressor came on, it all went away. I think slide should have a massive tone, or it all sounds a bit Hawaiian. But a big slide tone is about the best tone you can get out of an electric guitar (esp with a semi-acoustic).
You guys are as always, a true pleasure to watch. Have to say, that Ariel seems as such a nice and humble person. And boy, what an amazing musician playing guitar guy he is. You always make my day...
+That Pedal Show Had the pleasure of watching Ariel and Joey live at the Borderline ... it was incredible to watch the 2 play together .. they still left plenty of space for the vocals to shine.
Funny how nobody understood the Star Trek's phasers reference when Ariel said that he liked to set his overdrives to "stun" :) Fantastic episode! Keep it up guys.
Michał Mieluch Yeah that reference went straight over their heads. No trekkies there. 😂. Figured someone else noticed that...
I made the same face watching this on a computer that Dan and Mick made when 7:02 came around. Great vid again guys!
Best episode ever! Ariel's such a class act, amazing player and seems like a lovely guy. Such tone and taste. Thank you so much for arranging this, very inspiring.
Very kind words Martin. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Your tone is absolutely amazing. I understand that tone comes mostly from the hands, but I really like to know what pickups you have in that SoCo LC. Best regards and thank you.
Those are Throback SLE 101 pick ups. PAF voiced..
Thank you for the quick reply. I really appreciate it.
Yes! What an awsome guitarist! :D Maybe link to some of his playing in the description? (for those of us to lazy to type his name in search)
Adding on to the mention of non-synced tremelo, could you guys do a show about non-synced/non-tap tempo effects in general? Like delay, tremelo, and modulations?
Austin Arthur, using timed effects out of time - I like it!
Just recently discovered the Bros. Landreth, they are amazing, great to hear and see such an inspiring slide player at That Pedal Show, Ariel sounded amazing, no matter what pedals were used, so maybe another lesson from this show: Practice more, spend less time worrying about your gear : )
+Sören Jordan We wouldn't disagree Sören. However, a really inspiring tone can push that playing on ever further. Thanks for watching!
While I agree that it's the player, not the gear, gear can inspire the player and thus make him play better. That's how it works for me
Cheers man. Glad you enjoyed it.
A great video. Ariel is a fabulous player and it was fascinating to hear the different mixes of pedals. I'm a big fan of Lowell George and love compression (I have Slide Rig serial number 008!) and also love tremolo (Ry Cooper's "Feeling Bad Blues" is one of my favourite slide tunes). I also use reverb from my Blues Junior to get a slightly "spacy" effect. Bring back Ariel for more videos!
6:46
7:03
7:30
Their reactions are almost as amazing as the playing! 😂😂
We can't talk about slide playing without mentioning the great Jack Pearson. His technique on slide guitar is impeccable.
Slide is such a challenge for me. It's all about the muting. And impossible to do it right without fingerpicking.
And the behind the slide Sonny Landreth stuff is mindblowing.
Awesome playing! If you like this do yourself a favour and check out Blake Mills.
Thanks! Blake is the king.
6:03 exactly describes how I use my amp these days- crank it to 10 for your over the top solo sound that cuts through the band, then dial your guitar back from there. You get everything that the amp is capable of at your fingertips.
Dan's reactions almost as good as Ariel's playing ... almost. Time for the Brisbane Delta to hear some slide, heading for socket set now.
Great video. That slide guy is brilliant.
My favourite is a thick glass slide, but Ariel sure makes his brass slide sound great. I think from darkest to brightest, it's glass, ceramic, brass, chrome.
Love me some slide. This guy is great! How about convincing Derek Trucks to come over as well ;-)
prob not a great idea as derek pretty much is guitar, cable, and amp. if you're lucky there might be a channel switcher. would be the shortest pedalboard tour ever..!
Just 'sliding' into the comments to say This. Was. Awesome!
My favourite slide video ever...and not just cus I'm from Canadia...Amazing playing tone and tips Ariel...I love playing slide and use open tunings sometimes but mostly use standard tuning...thanks for the tips, and insight into your use of gear...very helpful...
+Mike Nova yep, we love Ariel, just all round awesomeness
Set overdrives to what did he say ? Stun !Lololol Oh Yes he did , oh my word that is so so great, i luv this guy .wheee ,make my day. Bet i say that 10 times before dark.Oh dam and he plays great slide too. What a show !!!
the split second before Mick said "whoa, we went to unmanageable there" I was thinking HOLY CRAP THAT'S THE GREATEST ELECTRIC SLIDE TONE I'VE EVER HEARD

That intro by Ariel was absolutely gorgeous
You seem to have some extra Pages laying around on your wall. I'll gladly help you de clutter one of those. ;)
G'day Mick & Dan. Hello from Queanbeyan, Australia. I hope you are well in the UK! Sorry the Covid has stuffed you up soooo bad. We are very lucky here in Australia. Late to watch this video. I thought i was watching fairly carefully but I didn't catch what tuning Ariel was using here in this video. What an amazing guitar player! I hope you reply. Dan, I don't know if you got familiar with Wasp/Holden valve Amps before you left Aus. I have a small collection. Getting some great sounds out of them.
F#@k that was quick!
But wouldn't him having overdrive pedals on but turned down give him a lot of compression anyway?
I'm sorry if this was mentioned, but did Ariel say what tuning he is using for this video?
+Adam Fischer Open E for the slide Adam. Cheers!
so many stank faces during this video good lord
Thanks! I was so waiting for the Thorpy Muffroom Cloud to be added and used by the slide player. That fuzz is the one that could really blew everyone's mind up! Slide guitar with the Muffroom is just unbelievably good.
Nice one guys. What a beautiful player Ariel is. More than licks, melodies and artful phrasing just flow out of him.
Also, I love Dan's "Ah yeah!!" face and Mick's "This is AWEsome!" face.
I wish you guys had asked him about his amazing right hand technique. seamlessly using the pick, then cupping it for finger style. that's gotta take some serious practice
Great stuff! It's like christmas every week when you guys put out a new episode!
19:20 min
Dan and Mick Look like an old couple enjoying the music
First, I love the show, guys. Just makes my day. Every day. Secondly, this video was exceptional. I've been playing for 16 years and have been so afraid of the slide, but this just really set a fire under me, so thank you. I have to say also to Ariel: Dude, you've got it. In an ocean of guitar players, you stand apart. Thanks for the inspiration, gentlemen.
Bonus points for the Dawes t-shirt!
I guess I'm doing it right. My slide setup: American Standard Telecaster -> SlideRig -> (optional Mooer Slow Engine) -> Lazy J Cruiser -> Supro Drive -> Chase Bliss Gravitas -> Belle Epoch -> Fender Bassbreaker.
David Dyte, does the Slow Engine do a fairly convincing swell?
Adam: totally. It's great.
When you are wearing the slide and you fret notes behind the slide, you don't have to move the slide off the strings at all, because fretting notes pushes the strings you are fretting below the slide (so they are not touching). Sonny Landreth talks about this in a bunch of interview/lessons.
jgodin312 oh man thank you, I’ve been busting about how to do that for ages.
Way to represent the 'Peg and nice Dawes shirt. Dan, loved my GigRig and then my G2. Big fan of your stuff. Watch the show faithfully.
Winnipeg pride!
WHAO ! Dan is probably the best "air" slide guitarist i've ever seen :D
+Philippe Durel Of course I would never say it but it has been said about me, that my air slide is exceptional ;)
Could you guys have Ian Thornley on the show next time he flies to England? My favourite guitar player ever.
Fancy FA, no kidding. Dude is aaaaamazing.
Fancy FA PLEASE!!!
awesome show! that slide sound..... it, like that srv Texas sweep thing, is a very unique sound (technic) that can leave even veteran players envious. It really just comes down to we are all different and have invested our time in our own style. So, now its time to break out the slide and do some homework cuz that just sounds AMAZING!
Loved this episode! Great idea to bring in awesome players and talk gear.
that was some really nice slide playing! he has a similar touch to Jeff Buckley. not many people are familiar with Jeff's slide playing, but for those who have dug deep.... this young fellow is in good company!
Thats some serious company... Thanks a lot.
Ariel's playing stops me in my tracks every time. Incredible! It's great to see other musicians floored by his talent and humility too!
hey guys. great video. Mick had something going when he talked of the Flint which made me think - how about an episode on dual purpose pedals like the Flint, a number of new JHS' and a load of other reverb/modulation pedals and why are most paired as reverb/modulation and not so much as fuzz/chorus or the like? Love the show and good work guys... oh and love my new t-shirt from you as well
+sindsygeinuit Yep - great idea. Consider in the pipe. Cheers and thanks for supporting us!
I was half expecting Dan to start the Vic and Bob "Thigh rubbing during this episode". Fantastic soul to the slide playing there. Need to find some Ariel recordings.
And it was on that day, that the sexual innuendo's were 2 a new level.....
Unintentionally.. Oops..
I think you guys should start "That Pedal School". Teach aspiring and professional guitarists how to use pedals, alone and or in series. Keep rock'n.
Awesome video. Love hearing a great slide player.
Good Morning from Canada! First off, I love the show; it has become part of my Friday morning ritual. I've learned so much about the guitar and its signal chain from you guys. Although I'm primarily a Bass player, I have a renewed interest in playing guitar after many years of almost no guitar playing. I even bought my first Tele (thanks Dan, for waking that demon). I have managed to develop a pedal purchase habit that has become irksome to the "Ministry of Finance". I tell her it is in the name of science and good experimentation. A show that might be interesting is how using wireless affects the signal going in to the pedal board. To me it seems logical that the only way to get a true signal is to use a lead so that the pedals can interact properly with the guitar's pickups. One last thing, in case nobody mentioned it... the North American equivalent of "Chalk and Cheese" would be "Apples and Oranges". Thank you so much for all the great information, education, and entertainment. Cheers!
also mostly a bass player
At 7.29 You can pinpoint the exact moment Mick contemplates giving up music forever.
love the intro...
Anyone know where to get a balanced set of .019--.062 strings that he's using?
This is my favorite episode. Great Q&A, and Ariel answered the questions with nice examples of playing, and touch, and style. If he comes back, ask him about wah, and volume pedals... and germanium fuzz face please.
That intro is pure comedy!
To me at least, slide always looks easy, but impossibe to make it sound like music. Beautiful beautiful sounds from Ariel. Excellent show guys, cheers.
Ariel Posen, what an amazing guitarist and nice cool guy. That Pedal Show is the best: Mick and Dan you guys rock, I learn something new everyday.
What a great show, Ariel was superb. May have to get me one of them there slides and have a try. Some top knob twiddling by Dan. Thanks to all 3 of you.
It's fun to watch you guys geek out another guitar player. It's also fun to watch you struggle to play slide. I've never played slide, so I couldn't do any better.

Outstanding. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the reply. Cheers!
Dan is like a pedal sommelier. Fantastic slide playing too. I'm also in the "playing 25 years, can't quite figure out slide" club.
Amazing slide player! Very humble too!
Best part of the video: "9 hours later" Lol! Good luck Daniel! You guys rock!
What amazed me about this and the Andertons video is how quickly I recognized that monster tone, and how much the playing blew me away! I love these guys, I hope they get real far out there :)
Such tasteful playing and tones, and Dan could be on Top of the Pops with those guitar miming skills. Guys, can I ask if the Kingsley Page is the ODS version or the standard boost. I'm guessing it might be the ODS because you are feeding a preamp-level (line-level?) signal into it and the output goes to the FX return? Thanks.

+ForViewingOnly Hello all. Yes, it's my Page DS (Mick) and Maiden. I'm loving the way they work together. More on this pairing soon!
Apparently Ariel has listened to a few Sonny Landreth and Derek Trucks recordings ;) 👍🏻
Nice one. Made me set up my spare Strat for slide. Thanks guys.
Awesome.
This is great. Thanks. Ariel is great. His slide at times reminds me of George Harrison, and he tosses bits of songs by, or covered by, The Beatles relatively frequently into playing in these kinds of videos (there was a bit of ' 'Til There Was You' and what sounded like 'Let It Be' in this one), so I wonder if he likes or has been influenced by George.
In addition to seeing Ariel on TPS I really enjoy seeing Mick and Danish Pete, and Danish Pete and Ariel together on the Anderton's channel.
Dan always looks so happy when he's watching someone play. It's almost cute.
I noticed when you said that you were running into the effects return you said that you'll be doing that in another episode. I felt like you were saying that just for me (though I suspect I'm not the only person that's brought it up).
Keep up the great work guys.
Hey Dan, did you put the compressor before or after the drive? Thank you!
Great episode, Ariel is indeed a great player and a cool guy
had a rehearsal get cancelled tonight and was wondering what to do with myself. well here's to the next 35 minutes!!
Bloody chuffing love this episode. Such a cool vibe and awesome tones. Nice one fellas. Have just bought back my old telecaster after a year of pestering - time to raise the action and find some brass pipes :-)
I have a new favorite guitarist... or at least a new one of my favorite guitarists. wonderful player!
Thanks for this one gents. Very informative! Love Dan's expressions... always cracks me up!
He is quite good
I'm ashamed to say that beginning bit kinda got me
The future of guitar is safe for while. I hope he and Joey both do heaps of stuff during the hiatus of the Bros.Lan.
Guys, what was that ratling noise going on during the MEGA GAIN slide playing? It doesn't sound like coming from the guitar itself. Loved this one btw!
Love Ariel's playing and some great tones from those amp and pedal combinations.
I legitimately thought Dan and Mick were playing at first
A (probably stupid) question popped into my head and I'm not really sure where to ask, so I thought this is as good a place as any. Is the speaker cable used for guitar amp/cab the same as that used from a power amp for a PA?
Basically, I have some jack to jack speaker cables from my old PA setup. My new ones are Speakon to jack cables. I just wanted to check if it is worth me holding on to my old jack to jack speaker cables as spares for connecting my guitar amp head to its cab.
Dan, can't tell you how inspiring it was to hear you....learning. Maybe there is hope for my playing, as I see everyone sounds "less than great" when they are learning. Thanks for the vid!
You know, he brought up an amazing concept that totally helped my slide playing. He said you need to get a slide that "fits your finger." BOOM! My problem was not having stability or a good fit. My slide is a half sized glass one that is way wider than my finger. It ALWAYS slips, resulting in a pathetic, squeaky, scrapping, awful, weak sound. After this show, I began to put in on my middle finger, bracing it with my index and ringer finger. Totally nails a good sound when it's stable! I guess I don't have to buy a new one!
YES!
I like that guy! Realy! Slide playing is in progress. 😊😊
Ariel is the business......great addition to the show. Very musical!
We want Kingsley pedals in Europe! :-)
You can get them to Europe via Canadian post! ;-) Kingsley pedals are hand-made by one man, Simon Jarrett, in Canada, and he's got a 2 month waiting list at the moment so I don't think there will be a European distributor.
ForViewingOnly Good point. The problem is that it's kind of difficult to calulate the exact price of an item sent from outsider the EU. I live in Denmark. And we got a shit load of different taxes :-)
***** Crikey!!
Ariel thats just ridiculous; wow! I love your approach. I rate it 4 (out of 4) Dan's (good) expressive faces! More please...
Thanks Kevin!
What tuning was Ariel in for this video guys? Also,you need more Scooby-Doo moments in the future ;-)
Been trying to give myself a crash course in slide guitar this last week. Very happy to get some proper help!
Another great episode but the title is wrong. You typed "Ariel Posen", when you meant to type "Christian Bale".
You guys with your bloody pedals! I still think plugging straight in gives the best tone usually, but then I have no pedals (a-ha!), except for a wha-wha, but don't consider that a pedal - more like another instrument. Ariel is a sublime maestro - I loves his playing...thanks guys!!!
I had somebody like you in last week to help him sort out his rig. Mick here. He came in an amp guy because he was emotionally connected to not ‘cheating’ with pedals. Needless to say, once he’d heard a few things, he went home an amp and pedal guy. :0)
Part of the reason I watch these videos is because of you two, having a guest ruins it a bit for me. I'd rather see you guys play slide badly than this dude play it well. If I want to see him play there are, I'm sure, hundreds of videos for that. Just my preference.
HI GUYS - THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK ARE STANDING - WOW
As someone else wrote it's all about the muting. both left and right hand muting. it's how i pick a slide player from a regular player. like bass players they always muting strings that they don't want ringing. great show.
Lovely! I must say, nice licks at the end, Dan. And of course, Ariel was amazing!
Slide makes me cry!
The best tone was with the gain cranked. Then when the compressor came on, it all went away. I think slide should have a massive tone, or it all sounds a bit Hawaiian. But a big slide tone is about the best tone you can get out of an electric guitar (esp with a semi-acoustic).
You guys are as always, a true pleasure to watch. Have to say, that Ariel seems as such a nice and humble person. And boy, what an amazing musician playing guitar guy he is. You always make my day...
killer guitar player! Greetings from Brazil.
Love the look on Micks face when Ariel is playing ... I pull that same face when listening to Mick play
+davemis40 Ah bless you Dave. ''Tis all a journey for sure!
+That Pedal Show Had the pleasure of watching Ariel and Joey live at the Borderline ... it was incredible to watch the 2 play together .. they still left plenty of space for the vocals to shine.
