    Holy fuck this guy's tone is fucking amazing.

      Seriously, if anyone knows what amp he's using, TELL ME!!

    • @TheSn4zzle
      @TheSn4zzle 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +William Schaffer guessing it's a Peavey 6505+ (i see him using it a good bit)

    • @tompugh2928
      @tompugh2928 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +T Haze 4 amazing amps behind him to pick from lol

    • @habibislam1904
      @habibislam1904 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Could either be one of the amps behind him (I know he was enjoying the JVM a lot at the time this vid was recorded) but it could also be one ofhis studio profiles on his Kemper from the Album recording which were sampled using multiple high gain amps blended together (Including a JCM800, 6505+, Bogner Uberschall, Engl etc).

    Hope this video gets seen by the masses, because it took me forever to learn how to do these due to every other video on youtube being fucking awful at explaining the technique! THIS is how it's done. Thank you Jake, your guitar lessons always get to the point quicker than most others. Keep it up man :)

      You should watch Ben Eller. He's very specific on his "How to" vids for guitar. It's really good. He even gives examples and actually positions the camer to get a better look on how to do the techniques better.

    Jake, I think so cool that your initiative to teach some people to play guitar. It is very nice to see you teaching, especially when teaching the songs of Black Veil Brides. You and the Jinxx are exceptional guitarists, congratulations to you, and thank you.

    @Therussianthreat 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can't tell you how many of these videos I've watched man, but what I can tell you is that yours is the first one that actually made sense and stuck. It was the 'flicking' of the wrist. Also every other video always says that you have to find the node on the guitar or whatever in order to pinch harmonic and you can't do it anywhere on the neck, but you just showed you can do it anywhere on the neck AND made it look so effing easy. Also, thanks for showing what not to do as well as what to do. Even after trying all day yesterday and not getting it, I'm going to try again tomorrow.

  • @earlycuyler2295
    @earlycuyler2295 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Setup, intonation and tuning are super important for pinch harmonics.i struggled for month trying to learn the trick until i had my guitar rewired and got a tech to give it a once over.lowered the action and set intonation.it was easy after that.

I love you guys so much you have inspired me with playing guitar, I'm 14 and I really thought it was to late to really get into playing, but once you said you where 13 when you started it really gave me hope because you are such an amazing guitarist. Thank you so much you have inspired me to work my butt off playing and I keep getting better every day!! My dream is to one day be in a band and preform at least at warped tour. I want to inspire and help people just like you some day. Thank you so much I know that if I ever do make it big I will owe it all to you

I've been trying to learn the solo Skid Row's I Remember You for a couple of days now and I'd been racking my brains at the parts that feature pinched harmonics. This is my first foray into the world of pinched harmonics, BTW and I haven't gotten it down. Hopefully soon! Again, thank you!

    So, ive been playing instruments for like two years, guitar and bass, all self taught ( with help from youtube and internet of course!) and lately metal has been my new general. In going from blues to metal technique wise was quite difficult, especially pinch harmonics. Been practicing for like, a month and couldnt get it, was starting to get a bit frustrated, but HOLY SHIT, when you mentioned the way you tilt your picking hand to do them, I got them instantly...amazing. By far best tip I've heard from anyone about doing pinch harmonics. Thank you so much, my Pantera will actually sound like pantera now lol.
