Rig Rundown: Greta Van Fleet [2021]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Few rock bands have made a bigger splash over the past five years than Greta Van Fleet. Since their first full-length, From the Fires, won a Grammy for Best Rock Album, Jake and Sam Kiszka have constantly dug deeper to expand their band’s sonic scope. GVF’s latest, The Battle at Garden’s Gate, is packed with deep, nuanced sounds that all need to be created live by a classic rock-trio lineup with an amazing singer. The guitar-and-bass-playing team of brothers showed PG the gear they use to make it happen, at a recent tour stop at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee. And special thanks to Greta Van Fleet’s tech Bryan Manley for helping with the details.

Also, I wonder what they would do with something like Lachy Doley's whammy clav?
EDIT: just realized he left the rhodes on while hitting the Hammond, which means that the hammond was actually sympathetically microphonically driving the rhodes - that's pretty cool. Like a tuned spring multi-reverb, listen to that freakin decay.
Rock 'n roll 2.0 💙💜🦋💞
Good interview
Love John. Very Likable and genuine
I have an incredible sounding 61 Les Paul. How do I contact Jake?
I knew things were getting serious when Sam’s shoes came off.
I figured they were getting more chill, honestly. :-)
Sam is just awesome.
I think we need another updated rundown w greta 😌
Yep! For sure!
It’s the same. Lol

Stereo-panned wah is definitely a massive win on the tone front.
Right!
Say what you will about this band, but stereo panned wah is so freaking cool.
Where can we get this stereo-panned wah pedal?
@@dustintakk i looked for stereo wah pedals but couldn't find the crybaby or vox. Yamaha made one back in the day & u might be able to find it on ebay or reverb. Ernieball makes a panning volume pedal. Hopefully somebody starts making stereo wah pedals again
Oh... it translated. hahahaha, seriously though, it did in my studio phones.
No doubt, Jake is an awesome guitarist, but Sam's technological comprehension of his keyboards simply floors me!
In short; These guys are GREAT!
That is one serious rig.. ✌🏻⚡️
We want you to opening for Greta Van Fleet when your album comes out!
Yeah, but that POS Guitar won't play in tune.😄
I ditto that Matthew.
That’s what I’m saying. And his 61’ LP sounds great too!”
I'm really impressed by how well they've reproduced the sounds from the album, especially the organ and mellotron. It would have been easy to add backing tracks, but seeing him switch keyboards and then jump over to the bass is really authentic and cool.
Knowing how these guys are there's NO SHOT they're probably ever gonna be playing to a click, let alone using backing tracks.
It’s almost like they’re copying exactly what John Paul Jones did with Zeppelin…
Was near front row for their recent tour and they do use a backing track
@@reidsweeney2618 LOL so pathetic.
@@reidsweeney2618 no they don't. Quit lying.
There's nothing more inspiring than to be able to both see and hear the passion a musician has for their art. On top of their shared passion, Sam and Jake are truly so talented and knowledgeable.
you have entered the church of the magic tone monsters
Ok S imp 🤣🤣🤣
@@rgarcia4412 honestly yeah
especially when they're a talentless hack.

Medalla de honor para ti
you’re amazing 🙏
Safari sang has a wicked sound 🤟
I've never seen a band mature as fast as this one. I'm an old man and these kids are the best rock and roll band in the world right now. Can't wait to see them live.
They have really come a long way and have an awesome sound. I can’t wait to see them play live as well
I am 58...and have tickets for July 27th!!!! Yay!!!!..I agree...can't wait!!!! :)
Absolutely. I'm in my late 30's and harboured reservations about them for years, due to the obvious comparisons to a certain British Rock band, but at this point they have well and truly won me over. These kids are unbelievably talented and their understanding of harmony and songwriting is very sophisticated given their age.
What I appreciate the most though, is that so many younger people really appreciate this band and the style of music they are playing. I'd call it 'wholesome' compared to the rest of the anti-human trash that's out there, and thus it gives me hope for the future of music in general.
@@loritucker9621did you like the show?
@@mayorofthenonsenseoh yeah what an issue eh, a young band resembling another great one. Just say you were jealous, it makes you come across as more intelligent
I absolutely love hearing Jake & Sam talk about everything. I don’t know much about music technicalities but he explains it in a way that really makes sense!
crazy to see how much they’ve improved and changed in just a few years
They are humble enough to learn from others they admire. Josh was wise to get voice lessons so he will endure.
Update Jake was voted the best Rock guitarist and best solo of the year. Drummer won best drummer. So Suck it haters.
I used to have the number two. Sold it to Chicago music exchange who I think indirectly passed it on to him. So cool! That was a great guitar.
How long did u have it? Did you play it much?
@@franksumser9985 I had it for a few months. Didn’t like the tremolo unit so I sold it. Really great example of the model, though!
Cool. His number 1 doesn't even have the tremalo unit hooked up
@@franksumser9985 Yeah, I think that’s what most folks do with these. I think I decided that I liked the lyre tailpiece on the 64 is better so I went hunting for one of those
That's cool! Also... Reverend guitars fuggin rule!!
Surely we get an updated rig rundown with Jake and Sam Kiszka for the Starcatcher tour?!
this video could have been 8 hours long and i'd have watched the whole thing. i honestly know next to nothing about the technical aspects of making music, but jake and sam are so passionate and knowledgeable it's nothing short of hypnotic to listen to them talk about their craft.
I couldn't have said it better.
Rick Beato should interview them!
Ya they are it was a real great watch and run down .. and don’t worry about what you don’t know there are a few knowbody s in the comments to know everything for everyone in the world … just let them tell you …. As they insist on doing here
One thing I love about John is that he is so enthusiastic that the musicians in the rig rundown go from being a bit serious and awkward at first to just smiling and having a great time by the end. It’s like two buddies just jamming.
no doubt, it's so much better than someone just trying to get a mic in their face and a quick answer out of their mouth; his interviews always feel like some dude that came to chill after the bar and is psyched about your new epiphone with you. it makes me want to see a parody where he just comes to check out some kid's bedroom practice set-up
What can I say? The GVF haters are missing out on so much awesome music. These guys are fantastic.
So sad that this is true... Amazing live band... I've seen them 4x over the years and the progression of each band member is amazing to see. I always say people hating on them are missing out on a fn sick band.
@@MaddiesDaddy27 True. Danny for example went from a decent drummer to an absolute beast in just 2-3 years.
@@David_Solyom Exactly.
@@MaddiesDaddy27 Not really.
@@David_Solyom I caught them live once, they sre very good live but I have absolutely zero desire to listen to any of their records because none of the songs grab me (for obvious reasons). Fingers crossed they finally find their sound on the next one
Boy, these kids have really won me over. This is definitely one of the best Rig Rundowns I’ve ever seen. Love the creativity and actually hearing Jake play some measurable parts to demo his set up.
nothing I love more than sam's bass-playing faces!
Great Rig Rundown! Can you make a new one over the course of the Starcatcher tour? I am dying get more information about Jake‘s new guitars and Sam‘s Rickenbacker!
I’m a 51 year old man and I want Sam to be my friend. What a cool kid!
JAKEY & SAM
geetarbube You prefer the younger boys?
It's amazing to see Jake's enthusiasm and joy when he talks to us about his music, his guitar ... to see him change expression when he starts playing ... wonderful young men, and great musicians..❤️
It’s “interesting” 😂
As a previous drug addict, by a minute or 2 in I was fully convinced he's using (im assuming coke). Could be wrong but takes one to know one. look at the amount of time he scratches his nose. He's still huge into his gear but im thinking its a bit more right now
@@felkikid take it easy 🤣 not saying they don’t have their fun but highly doubt he’s drugged up like that. But ya never know
@@tylervancho1516 Im not saying im positive but that looks exactly like everyone ive done coke with looks like, and im sure I looked the same trying to be subtle lol
Any chance to get a new episode of their new gear this tour?
Anyone hating on these guys hate themselves more.
Premier Guitar, please do an updated rig rundown with the band! So much more has evolved since then and I would love to see it broken down once again. Love the series!
When i heard the effect live at 13:45 I had no idea it was coming from the guitar. So cool
It was IMPRESSIVE!!!
It’s incredible how accurate the sound is replicated. It’s straight from the album
This kid makes me smile. He's a true guitarist and tone crafter keeping the art alive. God bless him.
I love how you can clearly see how passionate they are about what they do! I love those guys and their music.
I love how even in a sound demo he plays with passion
Music made and played by musicians who are genuinely excited by what they do. Nothing better than that, especially when it translates to the listener/viewer. Awesome!
I just dig John Bohlinger. "Yeah, man, that's sooo cool, dude, awesome, so cool, man!" He cracks me up. Keep it up, bro! So cool, dude!
I like him as well; he comes across as a very nice down to earth guy.
Coolest guy ever... he deserves a drink every time he visits a band!
Agreed, it’s obvious he’s just being himself.
Gotta say, John has a great job, more power to him.
He a good Interview, he let Jake talk....
These guys are true and passionate musicians, I am so glad I discovered this band and this channel! Thank you!
WOW great rig rundown! Love the gear and the music; definitely an inspiration to us Rock musicians!
Just one component at a time of Greta is amazing and then when they combine it all together they make Sonic miracles. But I truly believe it all starts with Jake and his ability to create hooks and his endless pursuit of subtle sounds that he can make with his guitar and set up.
Jake in his favorite blue pants ❤️
These guys got a lot of flack when they first came out, but I see some very solid players and entertainers in these fellas.
They have some good ole road songs to ride the ole Harley to, plus they're young and will find their onw way as they go.
Not to mention the fact they know their stuff when it comes to their rigs. Outstanding!
Most bands "find their own way" before getting world famous
@@ileutur6863 How many bands have copyed Black Sabbath and Iron Maden, Metalica only to find their on sound later. These guys are no different.
@@HaXaW5150 Plenty of bands have tried copying the greats but I can't remember their names so that should tell you something
@@HaXaW5150 inspiration is different from ripping off, they sound exactly like Led Zepplin. Just with less creativity and more autotune.
@@AnnoyingOrange420 no autotune at all, and their sound is not Zepplin. Some song are reminiscent of Zep, but styling is different, singer has a higher voice, and the instruments show different influences.
Damn Jake has improved so much this band is growing
Jake has the pick of destiny and Greta is truly epic
They seem so down to earth without any big egos. I love it.
Yeah so down to earth that they wear $300 white t-shirts
@@robroilen4441 Was referring to their attitudes and personality traits. Not their clothing. Wearing expensive clothing doesn't make them arrogant asses.
@@RsSquier51 lol yeah okay keep thinking that people who wear absurdly expensive clothing are "down to earth without any big egos". They're happy to keep taking your money.
@@robroilen4441 jealous much?
@@RsSquier51 I was wondering how long it would take for someone to pull the "ur just jealous" card. Not long at all, apparently. Keep it up, you'll be a pretentious, out of touch millionaire too someday.
Love the cocktail ending! The sense of humour is one more of their appeal. The intelligence runs deep in this band. ❤
These damn kids with their long hair, vintage guitars and classic style rock! Oh wait, isn't that what boomer geezers always wanted when it comes to modern guitar players and bands? ;-)
That sweeping wah sounded amazing. Whoever recorded this, thanks for keeping the pan. It sounded great on my Rokit 5 speakers.
These kids are so impressive. AWESOME musicians, that still don't seem take themselves too seriously. I dig 'em.
The “talk back” at 13:46 is insane! I would love to be able to hear a version of BBN with this being much more prevalent.
Also it reminds me of RDR2 lol
SAMEEEE
Sam and the keyboards! WOW And Jake's so innovative too - no wonder GVF concerts are sold out all over the world! I need a cocktail just listening to all of it. NEVER BLOW JOSH OFF THE STAGE, PLEASE 🔥🔥😂
Wow Sam's keyboard skills are slick and sounds magestic
That stereo Wah sounds fantastic. Great band. I've seen them perform live in NYC (Summer 2019) - they are for Real !!!
im glad to see that jake wasn’t coughing up a lung this time
lol just hitting the powder instead, look at how much he wipes his nose
@@tompoynton maybe he had a runny nose?
@@corinnabevier5604 lol
@@corinnabevier5604 aren't you precious!
@@corinnabevier5604 oh you sweet sweet, summer child
After watching theres gear run downs I've become very interested in this band and especially the guitarist. This kid is a genius! He not only is extremely creative, but he knows how to use his gear to the fullest and it sounds great.
Age of Man is one of GVF best songs .. actually one of the best songs ever!!! that keyboard makes it for me ......
"You win! This is the coolest rig ever!" So how many of these interviews did this guy do and yet he's impressed! 👏👏👏

I gotta admit , that wah was damn cool . brought a smile on my face
The ending was unexpected but I’m not complaining
Totally agee
The Brothers all have allergies so they all rub their nose. Notice Jake was only rubbing the snot off his nose in the beginning, They always joke about people accusing them of doing coke. Jake and Sam have both learned so much about their craft.
That sounds like the kind of excuse made by a group using cocaine
@@buckodonnghaile4309 They don’t seem to act like an 80s hair metal band
I’d love for Sam to get real nerdy and help me figure out the organ in our basement bc I’m lost
that would be such a beautiful experience honestly
I have never heard a single Greta Van Fleet song. I fell victim to the crap that they got when they first came out (Led Zeppelin clone.) All I heard was stuff like: "There's a new rock band out there copying Led Zeppelin." (And honestly, I thought the name "Greta Van Fleet" was pretty lame.) I was stuck in my ways, with my musical tastes, and never thought a 'modern' band could ever create anything in the realm of 'rock' that I would appreciate. I figured my tastes were too refined, and if there happened to be a new band worthy of a listen, I'd have heard about them already. :(
This is the first video I've seen that has anything to do with GVF. I was just looking for a nerdy guitar video, typed in "Rig Rundown" and this was near the top!
These 2 brothers are amazing: nice, courteous, generous with their time. I love that they aren't "too important" to spend 15 minutes going over every detail of their rigs! Some of my favorite bands have always been so protective of their rigs; you never get a clear photo, let alone a VIDEO, with the actual musician (and not his tech) showing you how it all works.
I've got 5 minutes left in this video, and then I'm opening the floodgates and listening to my very first GVF!
Wish me luck :)
Amazing music from AMAZINGLY TALENTED young men! Keep it up and KEEP ROCK AND ROLL ALIVE AND EVOLVING! LOVE YA ALLL!
How is sounding like the 60s evolution?
I knew Jake would eventually get a pedal board. I wish I was a millionaire I would buy that Mary Ford les paul they had for sale on pawn stars and give it to him as a a gift.
Jake and Josh get most of the love in the fandom, as the talented guitarist, who have played around with guitars since he was three and the twin-brother who backed him up, but you can clearly see here how talented and impactful Sam’s playing is.
He’s the guy they pulled into the garage when he came home from school because they needed a bass-player in their little set-up, and then he evolved to become so much more.
The respect for these guys need to be destributed more evenly, cause you simply can’t build up songs with this sound without each of them really knowing their craft.
Hats of to Sam
I have a new level of respect for these young artists! Very talented indeed!!
i was a hater but now i hate myself for hating them, cool guys great tunes
thank you for saying that
Rock needs it's come back.... today's music dominance SUCKS, and these guys are putting fans into the seats.
We don’t care about insecure jealous people. Go away
So pleased I watched this. Wife’s watching tv so I’m using head phones: amazing sound, what talent and great guys. Fantastic work guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's honestly awesome watching how far Jake and Sam have come, man, they're definitely damn talented young guys and here's for their long and prosperous career
Old souls trapped in young bodies for our enjoyment. These youngsters have great depth. I am truly amazed. I like all the members but Sam is so multi talented. I know what it's like to play bass, synth and bass pedals. Loved it and was overwhelmed all at the same time. GVF=AWESOME!!
Barbarians at 35:10 is incredible. That is straight off the album.
This is one of the best ones yet! GVF are fun people with amazing talent!
I could hear the difference between the 2 Les Paul (SG) guitars on my phone.
7:15 the 1 foot tall man in the background trying to speak into the mic 😂😂😂
Thats why love live music. I can actually feel the vibrations in my belly. Im getting too old for live concerts now but Im so thankful I have those experiences. This band has a nostalgic sound but is innovative at the same time. Brilliant.
The cut to Sam has me absolutely geeking
Dear God. It’s like the modern day Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. We need more bands like this. True musicians.
I would listen to them if they had a better singer and actual songs you can sing to. I haven’t heard a good song yet. I hear great guitar and keys tho.
Yeah but Page and Jones are true musicians! Screech and Rower are poor imitators
@@aakar88 I’ll take this over what they’re passing off as rock music today. Rock n roll is pretty much dead.
@@BadFox38 Thanks, I will continue listening to the great bands of the past, not the pc puppet imitators that corporate America is forcing on us today
HAHA WAIT I JUST SAW THE LITTLE TABLE AND CHAIRS HAHA I LOVE THIS BAND 😭😭
Thought those guys were being rude passing in front of the camera... then they were setting up the table for John... great treatment!
That backtalk is giving me frusciante solo records vibe
The passion that they have for their art is so precious 🥺❤️
I'm very familiar with the Mel9, but I've never heard it played like that. It IS very interesting.
Real rig… I love that he just does what he wants and is so young. Breath of fresh air.
Best part of his rig? -His spine! I just wish my vertebrae would hold up like this guy's. I keep thinking he's gonna tip over backwards, but nope.
Saw them recently for the first time and they sounded great live. Stereo wah! Madness!
Jake using an old amp of Guns n' Roses is making me cry, thank you 4tus!
Guns n roses. Pure cheese lol
Im 19 and just started playing guitar, and there really isn’t a lick of musical talent in my family, so it’s honestly overwhelming to see the scope and range of knowledge these guys have on music. They have an understanding of music technology and music itself that I can’t even think to grasp yet. It’s incredible to hear them talk about it and know how much goes into their music. But omg it makes me feel like there is so so much I don’t know yet
im 20 and have been playing for about 5 years and believe me there still so much to learn about music even the best don’t know everything.
Welcome to this beautiful world!
You’ll never stop learning on guitar, that’s what’s great about it.
I'm 18 and I just started too! No one in my family plays and watching this I feel the exact same way!!!
@@kaitywithac we’re in it together then :) we got this
This is so awesome! I am smiling just seeing their entusiasm. And Jake seems like a fantastic guy. And - it all sounds great!
gosh, I just love this band. great music and humble, knowledgeable, funny, cool dudes that are so clearly passionate about their work!
Holy shit that tone! It’s like this kid time traveled straight from the late 60’s/early 70’s to remind us what great tone really is all about.
This was so interesting jake thank you
Love his interviews. He's so stoked all the time.
It’s great how accommodating he is to this journalist, he’s still just a regular kid even with all the rockstar fame. This band has caught tons of shit over copying Zepplin, but thank God they’re here!
Glad these fellas are around doing what they do. They are really carrying the torch for the vintage sounds. Piss on the haters.
Thanks John. Very well done. Sam just blows me away. Talented, witty. Seems like a cool guy.
Kid is the modern icon for old school analog rock. Keep it up and entire generation of young players are now trying to be Jake, and I love it
sam is so cute and nerdy but in the best way possible. especially with the “thank you my good sir” hahaha
who thinks this is one of the top rundowns
We are seeing greatness build more and more. They are the greatest rock band and still continuing to grow
What a nice guy Jake is. Happy and so enthusiastic to show his licks. Fabulous
son: "Dad, why is my sister's name Lily?"
dad: "because, son, when your mother was just a girl, the first time she saw a wild lily flower blooming in the backyard, she knew it would always the most beautiful thing she's ever seen"
son: "wow, Dad, that's so wonderful! thanks!"
dad: "of course, Rig Rundown: Greta Van Fleet [2021]. i love you son"
Dear John
What a great presentation. Love these guys and thank you so much for covering the keyboard rig. At the beginning I was thinking "oh damn, I wish this show would cover the keyboard rig" but then you did. Other keyboard channels just don't do it like Rig Rundown. I hope that covering a few classic keyboard rigs becomes a thing for Rig Rundown. Bravo.
best bands use keyboards ( zeppelin...floyd..boston..toto...foreigner...journey...genesis..elp..doors....etc..) I'd love GVF to use them more and more even synths
i love that john is just as interested in bass as he is guitar. same right here buddy love it!
