- Misha came to our Glasgow store before his run of guitarguitar guitar clinics.
We chatted about Periphery, guitars, amps, picking technique, what to do/avoid in the music industry, how he prevented Tosin Abasi from quitting the guitar (if you could imagine that?!), Misha's musical journey and life on the road.
Big thanks to Misha for chatting to us and sharing his wealth of wisdom. Thanks to Jackson Guitars & all the teams on hand at the guitar clinics.

This is probably the best interview of Misha I've seen so far! Lots of interesting tidbits and information!
I'm really not a fan of djenty stuff, and Periphery really isn't my thing, but I love hearing this guy talk. There's absolutely zero ego with this dude.
Man i've always loved how down to earth misha is. You can tell that most of the time he's just a big gear and guitar nerd and a video game geek which is honestly like most of us lmao
Toby K. I Really Agree With You.
'periphery' said in a strong scottish accent is my new favourite thing
If Misha is bad at mixing my mixing skills are inexistent =(
He's bad compared to Nolly (and according to himself btw). Looking at the production skills of the englishman, frankly, not a lot of producers would pass from the same generation.
Matt it is too modest to say that he is bad though. Both Nolly and Misha are amazing djentlemen!
I don't think he is bad compared to Nolly at all, their mixes just sounds different. I think Nolly is more of a "theory guy" than Misha.
really good interview and great interviewer as well! was very natural and not awkward at all
Awesome interview. Always love hearing Misha nerd out on gear and divulge some music-industry tips!

Imagine having the privilege of having a massive chat with misha
"I'm not a great producer, I'm probably a better producer than engineer and im not a great mixer"
you LIE, Misha
Well imagine if he just a said how great he was lmao he’d have more enemies than fans just because of other peoples egos
Periphery is literally a bunch of nerds who happened to love music and formed a band. I like when he and mark talk about how they write as a band and literally studying how things workout not only musically but people's behaviour as a band
Misha is such a chill dude. He deserves all the success hes had.

I am deaf so I'm glad someone else mentioned this also.
Daniel Marino-Austin if you're deaf how do you become a fan of periphery if you can't listen to em? Or did you become deaf after discovering them
The AAL debut album story is neat (around 40 minutes in)
catch fire could be a radio song... if the radio was way cooler. It's pretty simply and super catchy though. It's pretty pop construction for periphery and honestly one of my favorite songs on P3
Brilliant interview. Was able to see his Glasgow clinic which was also amazing.
misha is so right about demo-itis. When I add vocals to songs and the guitar player asks me to change it, I always wait about a week or so before I do because about 80% of the time they come around to realizing it's better than what they had in their head, even if I send a changed version. The other 20% of the time we used the changed version. So much about what we like is purely about familiarity.
*checks tuning*
“We’ve got an octave going on here”
*teases everyone with one of the best riffs of all time*
It's always great to hear misha talk especially about music in life, awesome interview!
Great interview. I've watched a lot of Periphery/Misha interviews. This one is super informative and helpful. Thanks!
Really, really enjoyed this. Thanks!
Great interview I love Misha, but hands down - the interviewer did an amazing job!!!
Great interview, and agree with the pick/plectrum discussion. It does affect tone. I was similar and used to play jazz 3s 15 years ago and slowly moved down the range to tortex 1mm then 0.60mm orange where I have settled for many years.
I had the same issue where my pick attack was hard and heavy picks didn't help.
Very insightful and much clarification for musicians choosing either to be creative or make money doing commercial work
He's not a very good guitarist, but he's good enough to write and play Periphery music, which is incredible stuff, so who care's if he cant shred ala Guthrie Govan, when 8 year olds are playing eruption on youtube, at what point does technique even matter, it really comes down to writing amazing and memorable music.
Preach
Very true, I was the same way, I could play my own stuff great but when under pressure to just shred randomly I always feel stupid, especially when people think what you are playing is amazing but i know it was just nonsense.
Pretty much every time I pick up a guitar in front of someone else that's how I feel. Shite at improvising anything but some derivative riff, can't solo for piss, but everyone still goes "Wow you're so good!". It's funny how so many of us are irritated more than pleased by compliments when we know we're not very good in the grand scheme of things. I still think Misha is a musical genius even if he's not the greatest player out there. I'm not a huge periphery fan because Spencer's vocals just don't grab me, but fuck man the riffage is just other worldly. I could listen to Misha, Mark, Jake and Nolly play all damn day.
"can't shred" lmao
really passionate about his industry advice, love to see it
Exact same thing happened with me and Dream Theater. First time listening to an album, I hated it, and like a year later it clicked as well, and became an immense fan.
Thanks for this interview! The interviewer is amazing 🤘👌
I'd like to see a video where Misha interviews other guitar players of bands, would be interesting with his amount knowledge.
He did with Marc Okubo. But sort of back and forth
Great interview.
I love this guy's accent.
"nolly was easily the best guitar player in the band" damnnnnnn
He also produced Make your own history by stray from the path, which is their best album, and probably their only really good one as far as I can tell.
woow I'm so surprised how misha and tosin are so close friends and I so happy too, of that, one of my two favorite bands are good friends...good video and interview, informative and interesting.... :-)
Well, "Catch Fire" is the radio song for meeeeeeee!
Oh man. I wish Misha would have played the Kemper. Hell would have frozen over but it would have been worth it.
Good interview, good interviewer
the animals as leaders first self titled album was released on my birthday April 28th 2009 . wow
@7:30 the truth to every concert I swear!!
No Good Tiger shirt... NOT MISHA!
David Papineau it's darkglass. Fake misha is actually Nolly
"Misha makes a new best friend for an hour"
This interviewer is very good
anyone know what problems with fanned-frets misha was referring too?
No radio song on Periphery III my ass. Lune is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
Misha what are the picks you use now?
Tortex T3 .73mm
His are white because they are specially made for Periphery. The regular ones you'd be buying will be yellow. And for what it's worth, Mark uses the orange variety, which ar .60mm.
hmmmm, they all use the same patch live.
is that why they sounded like mush when I saw them live?
Geordie or Icelandic or both? You choose!
This video really needs subtitles
37:30 Tell that to Lars and James lol they know one thing or two about doing their way ;)
Worst thing about interviews is that the interviewers can't not make constant noise that butchers the flow of natural conversation.
Would you add an evertune to that Jackson? Would it gut the sound too much?
Your special friend huh?
So there's no money in being a founding member of periphery. That sucks!
Periffery
the demo-itis explanation can be also put with ex partners, just sayin :(
Fuck, is interviewers voice pitched down 'cause dude......
Classic Scottish male voice xD
He's the one who dubbed the voices of transformers
Its what glaswegian males sound like. I've heard they're super fertile and make excellent mates too.
Is there any moment he actually playing not handle this fckn guitar?
Metal is dying
What gives you that idea?
TheMarshall85 I guess you haven't been keeping up with anything have you?
CryThunder dude is probably stuck in the 80s thinking hair metal should still be a thing
Single note chugging will do that.
You're dying
Heyy Misha what kind of problems you got with fanned fret guitars?!?!?
Great interview.
