I gotta say, and i find that people seem to forget or really just dont think about it. But anyone can get the tabs and learn Mr. Murray's licks, riffs, and solo's. But it's he who came up with all the wonderful notes and made these masterpieces. What im saying is that weekend guitar players only dream about making their own music and having millions of people wanting to learn how to play them. These professional guitar players are geniuses at what they do. We can only imitate
I never had a guitar with a pickup that hot like the Duncan hot rails in the neck position. I guess Murray like it that way since he is spending most time playing solos on the neck and wants a hot lead tone in the neck. How do you like the guitar ?
@mathias6423 I love it. It arrived with no setup and really bad fret sprout though. I have a good tech who sorted it all out and it's honestly one of the nicest playing guitars I have now.
@@booshting3520 Wow it is not often I hear of people getting a badly setup guitar with REALLY bad fret sprouting at a price tag around 1500€ I mean of course it happens, nothing is to be taken for granted when ordering guitars, especially imports. I am just saying that It is not often that I hear about stuff being that bad on such expensive guitars. Is the neck pickup really loud/aggressive for being a neck pickup ? Often people choose to put less aggressive pickups in the neck compared to the bridge but in Dave's case he has the same in the neck as in the bridge :)
@mathias6423 I've also got the USA Adrian Smith dignature model. That one needed fret leveling stunning guitar though😆 Yeah the neck pickup is the perfect counterpart to the bridge pickup. Both pretty hot, but it's Daves main lead tone. If you want a more versatile superstrat, then the USA Adrian Smith is the better option. A Dimarzio super distortion in the bridge position and 2 Fender SCN Noisless pickups in the middle and neck position. Makes for more tonal options than the Dave Murray sig.
@@booshting3520 Haha wow funny you should mention the Adrian signature all of a sudden. I actually got the Jackson SDXM 1 week ago as an early birthday present Hahaha 🤣 (The white one with black pickguard, love the way it looks, like a fender but for metal). What a coincidence you should mention "that" guitar 😅 I have not played guitar that much even though I have played for 20 years I have not been active playing at all so I am far from great. That is why I went with the imported SDXM verison instead of the USA version. Also I like to buy several "cheaper" guitars and upgrading them rather than buying 1 expensive guitar, I have always preferred it like that and I have 14 guitars so far that I have collected over the years, the most expensive one costing 1100€ and the cheapest one 300€ 2 days ago I went to our local guitar tech in Stockholm and got the 3 jackson pickups changed for a Dimarzio super distortion in the bridge and two Fender Noiseless gen 4 "single coils" since the SCN pickups are not available to buy separately in Sweden. Even outside of Sweden they are harder to come buy today except if you get them already in a guitar like your USA Jackson. I am later going to change the Floyd Rose special in my Adrian Jackson to a Schaller Lockmeister which I have used before and think is good for the money. Anyways I have been looking for my next guitar, I am thinking about either the Ibanez JEM JR in yellow or the PRS SE Standard in vintage red. Either guitar I go for I am putting the Dimarzio Super distortion in the bridge as I most often do and then the Dimarzio PAF PRO in the neck. Sorry the comment got so long but I got excited when you recommended the guitar I so recently got in birthday present even though It was the imported version
You, Sir, are certainly a man of great taste. John Frusciante..Dave Murray... you obviously know what is good in life. Great videos by the way.. keep the good job ,)
Great job Dave. Apart from saying that, I really appreciate the fact that you go through each and every comment to thank everyone individually. You deserve our respect.
Awesome playing, you nailed Dave Murray's tone and playing style! Also great to see you getting into as well, made me pick up my strat and rock out to Maiden too \m/
I have an E10 Korean Squier from 87/88 and the maple one piece neck is awesome too but the body is solid. It's based on a 50s Strat, with 6 hole single ply pickguard but the 9.5 radius neck is modern and thin. It also has Gotoh heads, large block trem and Fender stamped saddles. I put Alnico pickups in it and got the frets dressed. It's Torino red and I heard Clapton got Fender to do a Custom Shop Strat in that colour as he wanted it to match his Ferrari! Your axe sounds amazing and the Maiden chops are superb! I see guys boast about £3500 Custom Shop guitars but your axe sounds incredible. Dave Murray played Japan made Squiers in the early 80s for a while!
I think it`s time to dig my old squire out of the shed and get to work on it. You have inspired me to create my own Dave Murray type strat. As usual, fantastic playing and an entertaining vid. I need to get one of those Orange crush pro amps, they seem so versatile.
I subscribed two days ago & have been playing catch up with all your videos, love your live "voodoo chile " cover with the trio, diggin the cheaper brands demo's & love yer personality & the mental health awareness vid as I am trying to cope with depression. I can live vicariously through you with your subscription tally, I just hit 105 subs,slow to gather but will trudge on. Your an inspiration to all of your fans & that now includes a humble Frank Antonio Cunningham Experiment 😊
Step One: Get a Fender HSH Strat. Step Two: Yank out the stock humbuggerers and replace with Dimarzio Super Distortion (bridge) & PAF (neck). Step Three: Plug into a cranked Marshall DSL. Step Four: Smile broadly. I have a 2016 MiM HSH Standard Strat, ghost silver w/rosewood board, and swapped out the totally unimpressive HB's for the Dimarzio "Rhoads set". That thing should be registered as a deadly weapon. KILLER GEETAR. #FENDER4EVER
The Strat is the ultimate guitar and paired with good humbuckers I could never go back to single coils even for clean sounds.I would love to see you play this guitar more or the best thing would be if you had some cool rails in your white Strat! Love your playing on anything though Dave!
sounds great! and nice playing! more of a les paul guy myself, but I like strats also, you sort of get the best of both worlds with the dm strat though, peace out and have a great weekend
Sir Dave, you're always saying that you're not that rich though you find money to buy and modify all those guitars. One day hopefully you'll have a million subscriber (and not forget about you partner in crime the shotgun marriage) and have lots of money. I am expecting like crazy things from you brother. It is a real joy to watch your quest going on Sir.
The guitars i buy are never that expensive and can't be over £200. If they are its a no no for me. The highest i can go is 150. But. I love them. :) Thank you so very very much indeed. :)
Can you try out the Acoustic Lead Series Head some time? It's a very cheap 100w head I was interested in but can't seem to find an actual review. Love the channel mate
Dave !!! How long have you been playing now? I know you have been studying John for over 14 years I saw on your other vids! I watch your videos every day , it seems I am in to all the same music as you! John Frusciante is one of my biggest heros as well, I also love iron maiden , red hot chili peppers , Jake E Lee , Randy Rhoads, kurt Cobain , David gilmour and many similar bands. You play so well I aspire to be able to pick up a guitar and know the fret board as well as you an be able to learn songs by ear and make more of my own stuff . I pretty much just jam Early Frusciante every day at the moment . I have a Mexi 2014 strat and a couple of amps, namely Marshall DSL5C and a fender frontman 212 . The pedals I have are DS2 and a ED1 compressor but I'm looking to expand my board. Which pedals would you recommend for that early Frusciante chorus sound. (Sadly I can't afford a CE 1 at the minute so what is your opinion on the closest thing? Thanks for all your videos Dave keep on going we all love them
I have been playing 15 years in may. I started studying John pretty much on day one. The closest chorus pedal i would say is the Boss Chorus Ensemble. Awesome pedal and sounds juts like John. Thank you for watching. :)
Can't believe you're from sodding Gy lol. I'm a Cleethorpes born lad (live in Lincoln now though). Are you gonna be playing local, at say Yardbirds or somewhere in the near future?
It's a fucking travesty that you're not bigger than you are, that's some passionate, fantastic technical playing. Plus you're a really good camera presence, but for god sakes cut that hair.

Holy crap, you nailed both the tone and the style of Dave Murray! Bravo!!
Love your videos - and, especially your TONE! :)
Thank you very much indeed. :)
Just bought the Dave Murray signature strat. The pickups are beastly. I'd love a good replica of his 57 like yours, its iconic

My 89 mik squier 2 neck is the best neck I've ever played! Put the neck on a 03 mim Stratocaster body & it's Badass!
Oh my God!! If I could just listen, I would be pretty shure that was Dave playing!! Call Maiden now, and get a job there. :D
Thank you very very much indeed. :)
Dave, i just bought this guitar off ebay, the seller mentioned you so i snapped it up, hope its a good n :)
Its Awesome. I miss it.

Desert Storm ChefNice I agree I've been looking at those for a while.
I'll see if i can get my hands on one. Thank you for liking my channel. :)
Dave Simpson Love your videos Dave, keep up the good work. 😄
what do you mean by plywood body? isn't cheaper guitar usually have 3 piece wood stuck together? is it considered as plywood body?
This guitar is plywood. You can see all the different layers in the body in the pickup cavities. :)
Love the harmonist sounds dave, whats your G2 settings for that, my music knowlege is limited, even after many years!
Thank you very much. The lower harmony was actually in the loop. I recorded it so i could harmonize with it. :)
What are the Orange CR120 settings in this excellent vid Dave?
The settings were
Clean channel
Treble - 0
Bass - 3
Volume - 7
Dirty channel
Volume - 10
Treble - 0
Middle - 0
Bass - 0
Gain - 10
Sorry anyone, so the neck pickup is a tone rider alnico 2? I'm not that good at understanding english...
Thats right yeps. : )

Awesome, whats the name of the intro im sure ive heard it somewhere
I'm not 100% if its a song or not. I made it up before the video in the style of Iron maiden. : )
Dave Simpson aha oke then i thought it sounded like something ive heard somewhere before nice improv ! ;)
I want to see you with a squier japan model specially the jv series.
If i ever get my hands on one i'll demo it. :)
good playing, nice sounding guitar and by the way-The hair makes the guitar sound better and if I still had enough hair, It would be longer!!!!!
I beleive that as well. Hair tone. Haha. Thank you for watching, :)
Great video yet again Dave! Are you a Devin Townsend fan? Love to hear your take on his sound if you are.
Thank you very much indeed. I don;t really listen that much to him to be honest. Thank you for watching. :)
another Squier??? this one from Korea...oh man..u make those those guitars sound good!
Thank you very much and it is indeed a Korean one. :)
Amazing man....that part at 0:38 comes from a maiden song or is it your improvisation?
Its something i came up with before the video.
Thank you very much: )
Dave Simpson great idea then mate 😊
I must say that that sounded very Murray-esque indeed!! What happened to the previous DM Strat?
Thank you very much indeed. The last DM strat has been sold as it wasn't any where near as good as this one. :)
Incredible! Greetings
Can't believe you're from sodding Gy lol. I'm a Cleethorpes born lad (live in Lincoln now though). Are you gonna be playing local, at say Yardbirds or somewhere in the near future?
I am playing in Louth on the 2nd September at cobbles bar but i don;t play Grimsby. Can't get gigs there anymore. :(
Cool, I'll come see you. Are you playing with the Dukes or as your trio?
And dude can shred.
Kind of. Its not neat and i don't think Yngwie has much to worry about. :)
Does this mean we are going to get treated to a get the tone of dave murray video? Love the Mark II. take it easy
Indeed. I have a one to do first then its hopefully Dave's turn. :)
Thank you for watching. :)
See Dave it's not just me that wants a Rory guitar lol. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If i had the money you'd already have one. :)
Dave Simpson let me know what you think it will cost and I can front you some money to get the project going.
Keep modding guitars and not your personality. :-) It looks and sounds very good. Playing is top, like usual. Rock on!
I shall indeed. Thank you very much indeed. :)
the introduction tho
Thank you very much. :)
Dave The Beast Simpson
Thank you very much indeed. :)
It's a fucking travesty that you're not bigger than you are, that's some passionate, fantastic technical playing. Plus you're a really good camera presence, but for god sakes cut that hair.
Thank you very much indeed. Happy you liked it. :)
Cut that hair?... Dave's skill comes from a lack of social conformity...embrace difference not social engineering.. Rock on \m/
Dave Simpson I could listen to you play all day!!!
Cut his hair? Have you never heard of Samson?
jltrem lol 👍🏻
