That is so true about "THE MIDRANGE RANGE".
Though pretty much what I expected, these ARE some really good tips. :)
* Raise mids.
* Lower gain.
* Either tilt the cabinet or put it at ear level (and not pointed towards the sound guy or audience).

The start to my guitar career was with your videos on (I think) a different channel. You explained the power chord shape in reference to Iron Man and Enter Sandman. And a whole bunch more videos. I haven't seen you on TH-cam since, but I recognized you right away. Thanks for all the help 👍

Brother, I cannot believe, so before usualy I was keeping my mids 0-10 on 4 to and to much gain so I have followed your advise and bang, before I cannot ear my leads and was thinking its my volume, just exactly what you are saying, so my friend that he is bass player from another band he show up on my gig and he told me, "bro I don't know to much about electric guitar, but I think your problem is not volume seems to me EQ" so on the next day I started search on youtube lol and then i found your video. Thanks brother you change the way that I sound on the stage now everyone and my self can enjoy the lead guitar.

I started playing in my twenties and learned my first tunes and licks thanks to you, @rockongoodpeople .
I still remember and tell people how that guy, pioneer in the youtube game taught me guitar and how he would start with this laid back "What's up good people ?" line. I was wondering how to find you again !
And 15 years and many bands later, I find myself asking you questions and getting the best advice for my next show tonight.
Thanks. so. much from me and everyone you inspired to keep picking up their guitar.
Thibault, from France,

I do all of these methods. Great advice! And it works like a charm and has for years. There's a saying "God lives in the mid-range". Guitarists locally have asked me forever "how do you get your tone, and you use the same ol dual rectifier you always have?" .. "well, regular amp maintenance and pre-amp tube rolling depending on what you're looking for in terms of overall aggressiveness, back the gain WAY off, roll off the bottom end and the ice picky highs, and bring in your mids, if you need to boost, you can use a tube screamer or really any kind of overdrive pedal in front of the amp during solos. The boost idea is also good for jent guitar work, cause in these extreme metal situations you actually want less gain cause alot of times youre using these 7, 8 and 9 string guitars, more mids, less bass, and treble, maybe bring in some presence and then boost it a little.
Right on! u r so right, dead bang on - thank u for sharing that info - couldnt agree more - u rock! And thank u so much for checking out the video - really appreciated.

I totally understand and agree, I had to unlearn a lot on my settings. Fuzz isn't always a good thing. And getting with the band you should get used to walking around the room yourself to hear your mates at different spots in the room helps too. Avoid any sound competition lol
for sure - great points on the walking around the room. Thank u for watching and for ur support - really appreciated.

Would love to see a video on amp settings, changing from a rhythm tone to a lead tone. I have a 1 channel 20 watt Marshall head. Play rhythm sing and solo and I struggle with a good useful lead tone at lower volumes. Some great info re mids and gain settings too. 🤘
Hello Terry and thank u so much for checking out this video and for your kind words - really appreciated. How are u getting your lead tone now? Are you using a tube screamer or overdrive pedal or boost pedal? And where in the chain do you have your pedal if you are using one - tell me more about your setup and I will try and make some suggestions on dialing in that lead tone.

Great tips, exspesualy on the gain, I've found from playing in bars over the years that what sounds good on stage, will be overly distorted to the audience. Sound naturally breaks up travels through the room. Best thing to happen to my playing was to get used to playing cleaner

"Exspesualy"... Seriously?
Are you still in a bar, drunk?
And yes, sound disperses. That's why to an audience that's farther away from the speakers, it should sound _less_ distorted.
That's why through a mic, an amp sounds _more_ distorted, since it picks it up _directly_ from up close, meaning it didn't have much chance to disperse yet.
Logic, yo. Science!
Ótimas dicas! Ao vivo fazem toda a diferença! 🔥🎸

Great tips. I would add the reason for turning guitar gain down is because gain saturation boosts the noise floor across all frequencies and creates non linear harmonics in the highs. This interfers with the high "space" especially and makes the entire mix muddy.

Band sound was good. It was the first time my guitar cut through the mix really well. My vocals as well. I had fun. The one critique I got was my solos werent pronounced enough. Thanks dude im gna watch more of your tutorials.
awesome! So glad that ur gig went well and you had a good time. Great news and glad that your guitar cut through. As far as ur leads make sure you are boosting the level of your leads with a boost pedal for more volume or another distortion or setting on your amp if you have one so ur leads cut through with more volume and punch. Keep rocking and keep experimenting and enjoy the journey! Let me know if you have any questions and have a rocking day! -David Taub, Next Level Guitar Inc. & EGI

So for rhythm tips that was great. How about for lead sound to cut through enough so you know it’s lead. Thank you again

@@rockongoodpeople oh great!! Give my channel a look if you have time too!! Im gonna b gettin actually recording equipment soon. But my channel has beem growing A LOT in the last month and a half. Went from 1000 channel views over 4 years to over 3.5k views in a week with just one video.
i had a guy at a jam night have his fender cranked, it was way thicker on stage than my helix, but i couldnt hear over it, and when my turn was up, sitting out front, it just was a big mess, the helix was way better
I wear ear plugs when I attend shows and cover them with a stocking hat like you are wearing so no one can see that I'm wearing them. lol.
I played in a band and we all had combo amps with stands. It really does help you hear yourself playing. I had a Spark mini boost pedal for lead. It was neat because you could step on and hold the button down while you played lead and then just lift your foot when done. Didn't have to click the button off and on. Simple things can become tricky when you are playing live and on the spot!
Hey there - thats a cool function with that boost pedal just to let go of it to turn off when solo is completed - nice. You are so right that sometimes these little hacks make life so much easier. Thank you for sharing that and thanks for checking out this video and for your continued support - so appreciated. Hope u have been well and rocking on! Take care and have a great day! -David Taub, Next Level Guitar Inc. & EGI
Idk how short the solos you play are but for me I gotta have a button lol otherwise I'm stuck in one spot for 8+ measures
The "High Midrange EQ" already creates more volume! No need for the gain.
Hi there another tip from a friend for lead stuff - use the tap function for the Delay in order to stick to the song tempo crucial for live
Also for Helix users global EQ high cuts at 8-15khz depends on room, low cut at 80-100 kHz for getting rid of the low muffle. Clears up the sound.
right on Rene - thank u for that - great point to use that tap tempo live. And thank u so much for checking out this video - most appreciated.

Because of Metallica albums, I used to do this mid cut mistake on stage and that exactly what happened. Tonemeisters rebuked me to cut down my bass eq's and open up my mids and presence. which was very disturbing sound I hate to hear on my monitors. Later I switched to Slayer's settings which are The EQ is Sad face. That sound amazing, I did not intervene to Bass Player's frequencies, I became more articulate, I could express my pick up touch especially in downpicking sections.and chords became more rich sounding.
right on - thank u for sharing this and glad that you found your place in the mix by experimentating - super cool. And thank u for watching this video.

Mid boost! That doesn't necessarily mean crank your mids. It could mean back off your treb n bass. Everybody consciously plays under one another so you can hear every nuance of every instrument and vocal run that sound out through your mains. A jazz mindset they play under each other.
For soloing the band placed under you. If your sing the band plays slightly under you. Sounds counterintuitive it works every time with musicians who pay attention. Do not play with blinders on! - Peace

thanks, I'm having this problem playing rhythm guitar in our studio environment (not big space). If everyone is quiet my guitar seems to be very loud, when we start playing it simply vanishes. It doesn't matter if i'm next to it. For example, Everytime I turn on the big muff I can't ear anything...
Hi and thank u for watching this video. Yeah, common problem for sure. Give the things I mention in the video a try - like more vids, less gain, and get your speaker cab up in the air - let me know how it goes.

Thanks for your help, I totally agree, but when you are guitar player that needs sustain/gain to play comfortable, how can we get that sustain then? Thanks
Hi and thank u for watching - its all a matter of balance in my opinion - balancing your tone with what sounds best with the band, getting your sound to cut through the mix, and getting your tone that inspires you the most and allows you to be creative and empowered. Adding some delay adds a bit of sustain - check out my other video on using delay for a killer lead tone. You dont have to back all the gain out - just try taking a little off perhaps. You can also run an overdrive pedal in front of your amp - that really can help with kicking the amp and driving it a little harder, tightens it up and removes the flub in some instances. So try those things - if u add a drive pedal in front of amp try it with the gain on the pedal low, but the level high - that is what u want.

Great info bro, i like to know when our distortion patch is good in pedal like good amount of EQ level compressor etc ... But when we use amp in back side for guitar what is exactly use more than mixer ?????
Should we balance our tone in amp or mixer ????
Actually mean is that
Do share.........
Hi - Im not sure I understand your question. Is this for live show and you are running the guitar cabinet miked into the house system - or are u running guitar into a mixer? Not sure what you mean - can you explain more please and I will try and answer. And thank u for checking out this video - most appreciated!

@@rockongoodpeople Hi david well thanks a lot bro for reply yes I liked your channel indeed!!! I'm done it subscribe !!
My question is that when our distortion patch in our guitar processor is intact in every aspect like good EQ, compressor, reverb, delay etc right!!
And when we using guitar amp in live show so should we also dial knob of guitar like gain , volume also in amp
And what is role of analogue console mixer or digital analogue mixer in live gig
Should we also mix our guitar tone by this mixer
Or just dial knob of amp and should give line out for mixer
Hope you will get it what is mean is???
So give bit of light in respect of settings for live gig
I shall be beholden to you
Thanks
Hi again - well your question depends on what sounds you are gong for - if you are running a distortion pedal or like you mentioned your guitar patch from a processor which has gain already then you probably want to run that through the clean channel of your amp. Why add more gain on top of the gain you have in the processor. Unless that gives you a desired sound that you like. There isn't any rules per se, just conventional wisdoms. Personally if you like a certain patch or pedal distortion or overdrive pedal then run that into the clean side of the amp if possible. If you rather like the sound of the gain in the amp or the amp distortion then use that and not the patch from your processor - choose which sounds you like best and dial them in, if you have the sounds you really like in your processor and they sound great and you have them all EQued and u r happy with them then run them through your amp and have a very transparent settings on your amp so u get the sounds mainly from the processor. It all depends on what u are looking for sound wise - so experiment. The mixer in the PA is more for overall band mix and getting the levels right between all the instruments and drums and vocals so you can have a well mixed and balanced sound and volume between all the players. You can make small adjustments in the overall EZQ if someone is spiking again just to balance out. Hope this makes sense and helps. Keep rocking and have a great day! -David Taub, Next Level Guitar Inc. & EGI
@@rockongoodpeople thanks bro for valuable info, so nice of you, stay blessed
@@rockongoodpeople thanks for info brother, i do have another one query is about strings gauge , i do have 25" 5 648 mm electric guitar brand aria right I saw your video regarding scale length right!! So I want to know fundamental of strings gauge as per scale length
I do play metal guitar so what strings gauge should I used for my 648 mm scale length guitar 9 or 10 gauge
Do rely i shall be beholden to you
How can I crank my mids up? Im using an essex a30 amp in Line 6 HX Stomp and there's no mid setting
What about using pedas ike Heix, Pods or Ge 300 . You have the abiity to seect, your tubes, Your distortion then your amp and cab. They a have EQ. WHat do you focus on EQ'ing most? Do you leave all neffects in the middle then shape the amp only? So many EQs eads to a mess.
HI and yes, the modelers have EQs built in and there are so many combinations and available effects and amp sims and cab Its - can be overwhelming for sure. My suggestion is get the sound that sounds best to your ears and then bring that to the rehearsal or live playing scenario and see how it cuts through - turning the gain down a tad may help and perhaps tweaking the overall EQ boosting the mids - remember that the guitar is more of a mid range instrument - that is the sonic space in a live mix where the guitar lives fo the most part. SO with the modelers they are more settings and parameters to mess with but once you dial it in you will have it nailed as those modelers are super consistent venue to venue night to night.

people say that turning up the bass gets you lost in a mix, but what if i have a lot of bass and mids, personally i like to have that lot of bass and mids turned up on my amp (i use transparent distortions though, so like a bd-2 rather that a tube screamer or some mid cut distortion pedal to counteract it a bit)
i still have lots of mids, but a fair amount of bass
Hi and thank u for watching - really appreciated. A lot depends on your amp, pickups, and speakers for sure - but generally too much bass tends to muddy the guitar in the mix or starts to collide with the bass frequencies. But again, you have to season to taste based on the gear you are using and the mix with the other instruments in the band. Generally I have found that cutting back on the bass on the amp helps to bring the guitar out a bit - if you have a graphic eq on the amp or in a pedal format you can always add a touch of a certain bass freq back in - kind of what I do with my mesa boogie mark V live rig. With most of the mesa amps I played thru the bass to me sounds so much better when its really low. But again, season to ur personal preferences.

Hi there. I know this is an old video. But I'm looking around for solution. I play at the church. It's not a big building but it has 2 stories. But when I start to play I loose my guitar in the mix. We do play thru Di- boxes. On my board I have an Amp simulator. I have heard that the Ernieball VP sucks tone. I took it from my board but still dealing with the problem. I will try these 3 tips to see if it will make a difference.

If I'm using an EQ pedal for Metal I follow this rule, "it's a frown, not a smile". The Highs are going to vanish under cymbals and the lows are going to vanish under the bass anyhow, it's just logical.

great tips, noob question, so artists that record albums and do lots of gigs, like Metallica to say one or anyone, , have one tone for recording ( each album sounds different, I think the prducer handle that) ) another tone for rehearsal ( provably the guitarrist own tone ) and another tone for live ( that provably changed by the sound Foh engineer mixer ) ? or how thats works? thanks man
Hi and thank u for watching and for ur kind words. As far as artists gear - it varies - some artists use the same or similar gear live as they use in the studio and others try different gear and amps and plugins in the studio to record. Remember when recording many artist double or triple up on their parts and pan them left and right to make the guitars sound huge - so it will sound different than live. Plus the producer often makes suggestions on sounds and tones and lining it up with the feel or vibe of the song. Main thing is to get tones that u love and ones that inspire you.

@@rockongoodpeoplethanks
What can u do to change the frequency or the sound of 2 guitars if they are using same distortion? do i have to buy new distortion?
me and my buddy uses revv g3 tho mine is a copy but it produce the same tone
is it ok? we sounded like 1 guitar the only difference is when we use some modulation during the set.
And i strongly agree regarding cracking down the gain like 9oclock or 7 and having those mids 3oclock and boy o boy we cut through the mix just fine :D
Hi - thanks for watching and for ur support - really appreciated. While there is nothing wrong with two guitar players using the same gear in a band - however, I suggest trying to get somewhat different sounds so the frequencies dont line up so exact and it just sounds like one big guitar. One of you may consider buying a different amp. Or if u use the same amp try playing different voicings of the same chord so you both are not playing the exact same things. You want differentiation. Or buy a different overdrive or distortion pedal that will sound different. Give some of those a try and enjoy the journey. Enjoy and stay tuned - lots more content coming soon.

I have a question. How do i setup clean rhythm patches, soft lead patches and crunchy rhythm patches as well as hi gain lead patches to be used seamlessly in a live setting on a multi effects processor i.e zoom g3xn. Also when it goes through the mixer do i need to adjust gain in the mixer too to get the proper sound out of pa systems? Bcoz most often my guitar gets absolutely buried when the whole band starts playing like keyboards with heavy synths, bass, vocals, drums.
There's amp modelling within the multi effects processor so it goes out of the multi effects processor straight into the mixer for the pa system. Nothing else is involved
@@thesunilrock20 did you ever find a solution?
@@sizzitysy6969 nope. But i keep experimenting on my own and what i found out is that you do need set up a gain structure on the pa mixer too to actually get the guitar to cut through the mix and mix with the band properly.
@@thesunilrock20 what if you ran the multi fx into a computer, then to a pa?
@@sizzitysy6969 why would you wanna do that?
Good advice….maybe point the cab at your chest? Directly at the ears? Tried at ears, chest better for me….anyway thanks 😊

But then how did the bands that scoop their mids sound good?
Hi and thank u for watching this video - most appreciated. Through production EQing and mixing techniques you it is easier to get a scooped mid sound with recorded music. But live its much harder. Thats why I was mainly talking about in this video for live sound. Often times bands that scoop all the kids out tend to sound a little goofy or muddy life, or just a wall of sound. But some bands can get away with it and I am not sure how they cut through the mix with all the kids scooped live.

What I'm experiencing I call amp suck.
In older houses or underpowered studios the guy playing power chords pulls all the juice and my single note leads become wimpy. All my stomp boxes lose any boost too.
Might be a failing output transformer or low juice causes the transformer failure but I seem to have this problem on most of my tube amps.
I resorted to using a volume pedal for nearly unlimited control but the rolled back sound loses grit. At least the leads cut through the mix.
Last gig I didn't bring it and the sound guy kneecapped my best solo.
Never again. I will be heard.
Oh yes. I will.

Know your sound guy, spend time talking and listening. Show them respect. Learn from each other. All rooms and venues are different. You can have a $15k guitar and hand wired boutique amp and sound like you are playing a piece of cardboard through a crystal radio if you just plug in and do your own thing. They control what you ultimately sound like. Work with them to get the tone you want the audience to hear.
Also know your gear and make sure it is reliable. No bigger waste of time than stopping a sound check cause something breaks and you are not prepared. Also make sure it is appropriate for the venue, don’t bring a half stack to a really small venue, you’ll spend all your time trying to get it sound how you like, and it never will. Just a couple things I’ve learned from playing live and making lots of mistakes along the way.
