- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- The Fender Stratocaster has been in production continually since 1954. It has been used by countless music legends in just about every musical genre that exists across the planet. It's sound is instantly recognizable and for many people the look and shape of the Stratocaster is synonymous with the electric guitar. The most copied shape in the world, the Fender Stratocaster has remained popular in part due to its sonic flexibility and versatility. The combination of three single-coil pickups and a five-way selector switch can create a myriad of tones from one instrument that makes the Stratocaster an essential part of every guitar players arsenal and often, the only guitar you need! Cooper Greenberg of Alamo Music Center dives into the sounds of the Stratocaster to give you the definitive users guide to the sounds available. To best illustrate the tones from the guitar, Cooper is demonstrating the voice of the guitar through the clean channel of a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. The clean tones are the foundation for the sound that will then be modified through pedals and overdrive, and whatever other weirdness you decide to throw its way. Understanding these tones is essential for getting the most out of your guitar. So, bookmark this video and consider this your users manual for all of the Fender Stratocaster Tones!

Few things in this world sound as good as a strat on the neck pickup.
Amen
But the bridge pickup on the other hand...
I wasn't a strat fan - I always said I would prefer Tele, Gibson, or PRS for almost any style of music.
But then I opened my eyes to that amazing blues tone. Best guitar for Blues, hands down.
@@Beans360 ya that’s best left to Tele lol
Strat neck and tele bridge are my two favorite tones.
What he didn't mention was the way he manipulated the tone was in where (location) he was picking. Picking close to the bridge always creates a brighter/twangy tone. The closer you pick to the neck joint the warmer/rounder tone you get. Picking with the meat of your fingers is also a way to add bass to the tone. Whether you snap the strings or pluck them with your fingers also has an effect on your tone. The thickness and material of the pick also will change your tone. Many variables can change/color your tone upon any guitar you play including acoustic instruments.
In addition the tone settings on the guitar when using different pups
👍😊🎸
Who better than to give advice on strat tones than a young David Gilmour?
Jimi, SRV, would be better than Dave Gilmour.
@@michaelcraig9449 HES MAKING A JOKE ABOUT WHAT THE GUY LOOKS LIKE
Your mom lol
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Hahahahhahahahha….hipster’s repurpose everything
This dude is so good 😂🤣 I wasn't ready for all that finger style... great player, beautiful tone, dope video Alamo.
Soooo this Guy Proves I dont need sissy nails on one hand only screaming I play guitar look at me ... To play guitar... Awesome playing Makes me want to lose all my picks in Pick Nervana...
Thnx. This is spot on exactly what I was looking for. Love your presentation style, quite, relaxed and confident. Not one word wasted, nothing superfluous and wow what playing and just a gorge3looking and sounding guitar. Thnx. Stay safe in these strange time.
I love this informative format. More of this, please.
New to guitar ( drummer 40 years ) just bought a American Standard Stratocaster. Thanks for the explanation on the tones I can look forward to . Cheers from Canada . Nice playing .
Great playing, Great demo, Great Fender Strat for the money...Went thru all the settings effectively...Well Done...
Guys listen. The secret to good strat tones is the colour. It has to be white with rosewood board.
Bonus tone if you have a mint green pickguard
Just like white light has all the colors in it, the white finish means it has all the strat colors in it at once, so it gets all the tones.
Dang it, he almost made the cut, because that’s a Pau Ferro board
How about a sonic blue with roasted maple board?
Strata have so much personality - I still use it the most for my recordings. When I was younger, I favored the combo positions, but I use them all now. This video did a great job of showcasing the tonal possibilities.
Absolutely great demonstration. Thanks!🙏🎸
I can't tell how much your video helped open a few Ideas for me. Thanks Bro, be blessed
I love this presentation of the clean Strat tones !
best strat sound check ive seen. very nicely done mate.
2 & 5 are my fave Strat tones. The guitar and your playing sound great!
2 for riff?
5 for solo?
Mine too.
Agree
Same here.
I'm a Guitarist specialized in Mark Knopfler style and I totally agree: most of the time my favorite switch position is the middle+bridge. Great video! :)
Cooper, I could honestly listen to you play all day. You are one of the few PROPER Strat players out there who truly knows how the instrument is to be played. So glad to see a video with your tasty chops front and center instead of playing second fiddle!
im confused.. it's a guitar. is there really one true and absolute way to play it?
did this tunnel visioned kid just say such a statement??
@@pegglethon4553 no, but I think he meant that more along the lines of you know how to get good and bluesy tones out of it
Buddy!! Those licks are just amazing. Subscribed !!
Thanks for that mate... I took delivery of my brand new strat today, first ever that I've owned, so this little video certainly helped 👍😊🎸
Really fun and informative! Thanks.
Holy hell I love this guy's playing!
This man's asymmetrical hair tho
A thing of beauty!
@@AlamoMusic this sounds like a reply made by the guy with the asymmetrical hair
You do realize it's just stuck behind his collar, right?!! :D
Great sound. This really does define the strat sound in my mind. Couldn't have been played better.
The explanation was very good but more than anything I really enjoyed the playing. Awesome fingerstyle Copper!
Excellent video!
Tasty playing. Well done.
Wonderful video. Thank you.
What a great player, and awesome guitar!
Very useful video with great playing, thank you!
Nice looking Strat and superb playing! One of the best demo's I've seen! Didn't hear any SRV OR JM and that is a huge plus!!
why is that a plus?
srv and jm had great tones
They definitely did! But EVERYONE tends to play them when they pick up a strat, and it's just nice to hear something a little different
Great demo Cooper!
Thanks 🙏 love the sweet sounds 😎🎸
Epic play from a guy who's calm af. Awesomeness.
Thanks- nice clear explanation.
That neck pickup has a sweet tone that I have never experienced on any other guitar. It seems to be unique.
Cooper that was thoroughly enjoyable. I just bought a CV 70s Strat from you guys as my first guitar. I would take lessons from you if I lived closer. Great video, thank you.
Thanks for the support! Some of our Professors do online lessons btw!
Amazing tone , and amazing guitarist!!
You should check out his youtube!
th-cam.com/channels/WNKfS7tAXx_l_pnQiK-EFg.html
Very helpful. Thanks.
Great info!!!! Thanks alot!
Thanks for the demo. Great finger style. Love the way you tuck your pick away with your index. But would have loved to have seen a proper demo of the tone knobs too. I'm new to playing guitar and recently got a MIM strat. I know my bottom tone knob controls position 1 only , and the other one controls all the other positions (i think) but i also know on some other strats the bridge has no tone control at all! So the whole thing is shrouded in mystery!
Sorry we'll try to play with the tones more next time!
I've been playing 7 years, strat and tele. I learned something here!!! Thanks!!!
you R the Doctors of guitars - thank you for your help! always helpful
Great video thank you.
Thank you for this video, very useful. I'm pretty new to guitar so this helps in finding my sound!
You are the master of picking techniques.
My DIY built Stratocaster is almost completely identical to that one.
Bought my 1st Fender guitar 3 years ago it is a strat ultra and it's insane, I'm glad I just went for it. Have mine playing through DSL40CR and it sounds mean
Good demonstation ,the vintera 60ties modell looks good and sounds really good with the hot rod deluxe in all position and your playing is very professionell so all is good at the alamo
Loved your video, I'm basically just starting at 58 years old. Sometimes I thought it was too late. We'll see how it goes.
How’s it going brother ??? Love seeing the late start guys stick it out. With the Right attitude and practice regiment that can become incredibly good. A lot of times when I see guys start older, they develop a great touch and play smarter in a lot of ways , but it is def from putting time in no matter what age or level. I hope u are still picking
Whoa! Cooper Greenberg is a player!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video, thank you. The tones were wonderful. I am wondering how much was from the great amp. Thanks again......Sal : )
Thanks for the tips :-)
Nice fingerstyle work
5:22 wtf
Uñeta vs Mano... gana Mano! Jajaja
@@jermainerandmusic Even more specifically Fan Rasgueado
I just learned that actually. Just do like a really floppy slap onto the finger board and instantly upstroke and use your fingers to create a raking effect. Once you practice a little you can get super quick flamenco bursts easily. The key is hitting the higher neck to control the sound and get a smoother slap
Lmfaoooo
wtf
Very good guitar and player
My favourite setting is NOT there and that is why on my Strat since 1979 I put THREE individual pickup on/off switches (Fender Jazzmaster switches) so I have NINE combinations. Neck and Bridge setting together are my favourite. Then ALL three pickups on together give you just about an exact mark Knoffler sound. Always amazed me why on very old strats only 3 positions were available plus 'in betweens'. Didn't make sense to me even as a 16yr old kid!
Your right guid. Liked your vid class
*Awesome video, dude! I've worked out now that my favourite position on a Strat is the middle position, because it's neither too dark, nor too bright. It's just bloody right! Hey, that rhymed! 😂 It's just right 4 me anyways. So when I get my Strat soon, I think I'll remove both the neck and bridge pickups and the pickup switch, so it's just the middle one left!! 😂 Or maybe I'll keep the neck pickup and switch as well, so I can use the 4th and 5th positions, too! 😆*
Very nice video. By the way what speaker does this HRD has? Mine does not sound so good as this one.
That spring reverb really complements the Strat tone - gorgeous.
Is that just the reverb in the amp?
Not sure, the ceramic pick up sound alot warmer. But im stiol getting use to the mim.
Damn man! You can really rip on that thing. 🙌
2,5 and 4 for me. I don't have my bridge hooked up to a tone so its a bit too harsh for my taste.
I’m fairly new to strats and understand the basic concept of lowering and raising pole pieces. However, I am curious why your b string pole piece in both the neck and middle pickups is so low. Is this normal? I have a Performer and the poles are all the same height so I’m curious. Thanks!
Pretty new to the guitar playing world so forgive me but what kind of picking style is he using? Sounds great. Especially when he incorporates his other fingers.
What settings is best to get the way huge Jimi SRV tones?
nice spring reverb in that amp
What does the push-pull knob do on the bridge pickup? I know that it sounds different, but what is actually happening?
This is how you remind me ♪♪♪
What year is that guitar? That is the perfect color combo, for a Stratocaster.
I just got a2019 strat ultra. Does anyone know what pushing the Volume does?
How do I get the strat sound on something I want to play they are very unique but I hate playing them they feel like jelly
Man, how many hours does it take to be this good..
Probably like 5,000
Hi, I found your video very interesting. Would you please listen to Bert Weedon's FBI, on TH-cam. The last but one verse at 1 minute 19 seconds is played on the high strings, at frets 12; 13 and 14. It consists of the notes E; C and A. When I play that verse on my acoustic guitar, it all sounds very thin and frail. Bert plays an electric guitar with a plectrum. Any ideas how he might be achieving such a rich, powerful quality? I am not sure, but I think the big chord which starts each phrase is an A Minor(?) Would you agree?
What pickups are on this strat. I have an elite with noiseless and the s1 switch thickens the sound up.
Tim Shaw Hot '65 pickups !
tbh i never use the 2nd position (bridge and middle), i just use the 5th position (neck only) the 3rd (middle only) and the 1st (bridge only) and i barely find myself using the 4th position as well ( neck and middle), i dont know why but they have never suited up my style
How does he get it to sound relaxing, what distortion pedals
Hi Copper,are you related to the great session guitarist Kenny Greenberg?
What are your amp settings at 1:49?
4:30 is my fav moment.
What scale was he playing at the conclusion? The fast picking one
Wonder why there’s not a setting for all pickups at the same time!?
That pau ferro fret board is so gorgeous
Capt Fantastic dude... Please...
@@marchel9322 okay smart ass what's wrong with it?
My thoughts as well.
You should fit the ten position Freeway 5B5-01 (for SSS) or Freeway 5B5-02 (for HSS / HSH) to one of your Strats, and then shoot a new expanded video!
What is the S1 switching he mentions a couple of times that he says that guitar has that most don’t?
It basically gives you more tonal control while keeping the same look of the strat. If you want to read more check out this link! www.fender.com/articles/tech-talk/how-the-s-1-switch-gives-you-more-tonal-options/
It lets you blend the neck pick up with 1st and 2nd position
great playing. what model of guitar pickups are they? hot? vintage? texas?
Tim Shaw hot 55
what a killer player
Thanks Duane Allman
My neck pickup is very muffled/muddy and really bad. Does anyone have any advice
Holey shit man! This dude can friggin play!
How did you eliminate buzz?
What about the cricules tones?
sounds divine the Vodoo Queen ( the stratocaster)
This dude and his cool ass playing.
What setup on the amp cause it does not sound with so many highs, its an even sound.
COOOL 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Why would anybody give this a thumbs down? ludicrous
Please keep the whole neck in frame the next time :D I need to copy this guys riffs
4:41 Middle Pick Up
5:22 Sweet Repicco Strum
Idk how to do this stuff though I’m hella confused
What songs/music pieces is he playing? I'd love to know
All originals! Check out his youtube!
