I use most of these techniques, but my favourite would probably be pinch harmonics. I bend a lot but usually just one string bends. I think tap harmonics are very cool as well but I use them in moderation.
The offbeat pick hammer, or pedal points (pedal tones too- they are the same thing) is definitely something I would consider a punk style technique.... one of the craziest sounding riffs is from "M+Ms" an old blink182 song. Tom really killed it on that one.
@@anndynegative it's absolutely the most fun riff to play on stage, but if you make any little mistake EVERYONE will absolutely hear it. Lol risk/reward is high, but it's a guaranteed crowd pleaser! Plus, I've always really liked the idea of driving to Madagascar.....
Thanks. I learned roll up today! Heres one, bend the string above the nut on the headstick, play open string and slowly let the pressure off. Im sure theres a cool name for it? Reverse off the nut bend???
I like harmonics on bass. A lot more options with the the thicker strings. Also, my bass isn't fully set up yet. Like it is, but the action is just in the middle, so not too high or too low. I also play bass through a guitar amp, which works pretty well for me.
When you were talking about the blues bend all I could think of was the Hell Song solo but I was still surprised to hear you mention Sum 41 mentioned. Dave's guitar playing is so underrated
@@anndynegative He really is. I got to meet them 2 years ago when they were doing a soundcheck and he actually seemed really genuine and actually had a conversation with me rather than just the typical meet and greet thing. I asked him about some of his gear and he let me come on stage and he showed me his rig
For pinch harmonics? You just gotta do it over and over. I sucked at it too, the more you practice you'll figure out the technique! It's all about angles
@@tylersilliman9888 drop b is super fun it may seem intimidating BUT it is so fun. it can sound really dark in a beautiful way and it can also be really poppy theres just a lot of cool stuff and exploring new tuning is vital to having fun on guitar
the "upbeat pick hammer" is called "pedal tone". Correct me if I am wrong, but Johann Sebastian Bach used this heavily back in the day. Pretty common in classical music
pinch harmonics and tapping to me are metal tricks...im old...my punk knowledge ends around the year 2000...i watched the punk rock mba video finn did on hardcore from the late 90s and on...but it sounds metal to me...my hardcore was black flag and minor threat...those type bands...i love feedback and slides and that tom delonge off beat pick hammer as you called it lol...i dont hear the volume roll up on all the small things
After awhile metal/punk/rock all just kind of merged together. It's guitar driven music so I think it makes sense. I love all those old punk bands, but I also like the new stuff too!
@@anndynegative after 2000 i lost touch so i cant say i like or dislike it since i havent heard any...other than new blink and green day...which ive liked since their debuts
@@anndynegative Really good Video! Thanks for Posting! Kind of an example of your "off beat hammer pick" from 1983 in a classic punk song. th-cam.com/video/o-aA1rUKPEY/w-d-xo.html
For electric guitar I use 0.60 mm picks which aren't too heavy...but it really is all personal preference. If you want to use super heavy picks...the go for it!!!
Bruh. I’ve been playing guitar for almost 15 years and I didn’t know there was a difference between Harmonics and pinch harmonics; I just thought they were all called pinch harmonics 😂 Anyway my point is its never too late to learn something new lmao.
Nice video. Just a note: when it comes to feedback, while it can work that the sound is vibrating the pickup, more often the sound waves coming out of the speakers are causing sympathetic resonances in the strings. That's why feedback tends to go away when you mute the strings (although, if you're working with ridiculous volumes and insane levels of amp induced compression, you might need both hands) Well done finishing a novel BTW. That ain't easy!
You are absolutely correct about the feedback! It's tough to get it with a guitar and small studio monitors, ideally you have a guitar amp to stand in front of. Thanks!!!
I use most of these techniques, but my favourite would probably be pinch harmonics. I bend a lot but usually just one string bends. I think tap harmonics are very cool as well but I use them in moderation.
Normal string bending is also fun, I would agree tap harmonics are neat, I'd love to see them more in riffs and not just solos
Isnt there a blues string bend in the solo for Come As You Are?
Probably, Kurt loves string bends and weird guitar noises
Nice to see that a lot of the techniques used by metal players in the 1980s are still being used.
The offbeat pick hammer, or pedal points (pedal tones too- they are the same thing) is definitely something I would consider a punk style technique.... one of the craziest sounding riffs is from "M+Ms" an old blink182 song. Tom really killed it on that one.
That riff in particular is super fun to play. I didn't know the name was pedal points, that's awesome

4:29 how do i do this? that little sound?
Unplug guitar, throw out window, do jumping jacks
@@anndynegative POG
Doing a pull off and a slide. Then power cord. Great instructions thanks.

What pick ups or guitar is that or amp or cab and speaker sounds amazing.
It's a Les Paul with a Dirty Fingers humbucker running through ML Soundlabs Amped plugin. It's a free plugin that sounds amazing
How hard do you press the pick on a pick slide? Used to have all these notched picks when I was a teen trying that.
I know exactly what you're talking about. You don't have to press down too hard, try out different angles for the pick
I like harmonics on bass. A lot more options with the the thicker strings. Also, my bass isn't fully set up yet. Like it is, but the action is just in the middle, so not too high or too low. I also play bass through a guitar amp, which works pretty well for me.
Thank you so much this was helpful for me getting started and learning on the electric guitar 😄
Amazing! Glad I can help even in some small way!!!

Totally agree, insane guitar player and also just a super nice dude

@@kozzi_17 that's so dope, I had a similar experience. Talked to him while we were doing soundcheck, just all around nice person
I dig that B bend. Sometimes we over complicate it in our head 😂🤘
What’s the pickup setup for this guitar?
How did you practice touching only the strings with the pick where you press with the finger?
I still hit other strings :/ thx for tipps
For pinch harmonics? You just gotta do it over and over. I sucked at it too, the more you practice you'll figure out the technique! It's all about angles
Oooh so basically a guacamole bottle seat cover?
Does guacamole come in bottles? Whut?
What's the lowest tuning you've ever played in?
I usually play electric in Eb standard, and have recently been tuning my acoustic down to D standard. That's probably the lowest I've done
@@anndynegative cool ok!
@@anndynegative lowest I've played so far is DROP C and D standard and it sounds amazing! Of course electric so yeah!
@@tylersilliman9888 drop b is super fun it may seem intimidating BUT it is so fun. it can sound really dark in a beautiful way and it can also be really poppy theres just a lot of cool stuff and exploring new tuning is vital to having fun on guitar
@@sludge.eater6 yeah drop b is pretty fun I'm also just now doing standard c tuning and it's pretty fun too
the "upbeat pick hammer" is called "pedal tone".
Correct me if I am wrong, but Johann Sebastian Bach used this heavily back in the day. Pretty common in classical music
Ahhh interesting! I listen to tons of classical, but it's well beyond my abilities to play. Thanks for sharing!
@@anndynegative i have to correct myself. this technique is related to "pedal tones", but it is called "pedal point"
Love this channel
Hahaha your guitar looks next level
Thanks! The stickers really add to the tone
Ray Toro also uses sometimes the blues bend
Heck yea he does!
Would you ever consider starting lesson tutorials on pop punk lessons?
I'm totally open to it!
Yeah Blues Bend (Or unison bend) is what I do to try to rip off Johnny Thunders!
That's the way!

Thanks buddy!
Can you do video requests?
I love this one! Btw can I ask.?! What kind of pick gauge should I used when I played punk? Can I play punk with 1.14.?! 😅😊
For electric guitar I use 0.60 mm picks which aren't too heavy...but it really is all personal preference. If you want to use super heavy picks...the go for it!!!

Never stop learning my friend!
Ohh so thats what harmonics are ! Been doing that since day one playing.
So much fun and easy to do!
If you don’t have lyrics, just yell vowel sounds 😂
🤣🤣🤣
You're my crush now
Aww shucks
who else saw them green teeth to match with the hair
Only posers brush their teeth
