The opening jam goes with the montage scene, where the hard-drinking detective starts getting himself back in shape, ready to take on the Big Boss, single-handed.
For some reason I’m still chortling at this comment. There’s a hard-drinking detective...and he’s getting himself back in shape...disclaimer: I’ve had a gin.
Just work it out by ear with trial and error. It might take you a while at first, but with practise it becomes easier. Start by finding the root notes, then fill out triads. Major and minor chords are pretty simple, but eventually you can learn to quickly recognise even complex jazzy chords.
Great video...As a bassist I spend a lot of time trying to convince guitarists to lose their bottom end...it's just not needed...especially Les Paul players.....I have some lovely sounding OD's that I use with my strat ( when pretending to be a guitarist!) that sound awesome in the bedroom and not so good in the mix. My boss OS2 sounds less good in the bedroom but great in the mix...horses for courses and the use of backing tracks works so well demonstrating this.
bassmandudge you are SO right! There’s a world of difference between the home player and the gigging player......everything I do is aimed at gigging, but so much stuff on the inter web is aimed at the home player...........these two numpties, sorry, geniuses get it right for both! Love it 😊👍
Yes, more backing tracks please! Your thoughts at the end about dispensing with “lead/rhythm” distinctions is spot on. Swervedriver from Oxford are masters at using two guitars and effects to create brilliant textural and dynamic guitar interplay. They have also been doing wet-dry for decades. If you were ever able to get Adam Franklin and/ or Jimmy Hartridge on the show it would blow my tiny mind. They are likely a major inspiration to many pedal-heads out there.
The section on EQ and rolling off the bottom end is so spot on. This is why I love Reverend guitars and their bass contour knob allowing you to roll off bottom end directly from the guitar. The rarely used Fender TBX tone knob is also great for doing this. I don't know why more guitar makers don't switch to a bottom tone roll off instead of the standard treble reduction. I've almost never needed less treble in a live situation and it's always the low frequency that get in the way.
As a sound engineer the comment about the 200Hz to 300Hz low midrange frequencies and room resonance is so important. These are frequencies that pile up very easily and muddy up a mix extremely fast, and in both live and studio mixes I will cut some of these from almost every track, often very drastically. A lot of microphones have a natural resonance around 300Hz which really doesn't help! Also, that backing track sounds killer and I had to go and buy it. It's gonna be a lot of fun improvising some stuff over it
When I first started getting my feet wet in mixing, I was told "cut to make things sound better; boost to make things sound different." The idea of listening while you are playing and understanding where you sit in the band cannot be overstated.
I agree, whoever said it, likewise with bass-the drums are the rock thrown into the water, the bass is the ripple and the guitar is the splash. That’s how I like it anyway.
That "overdrive as pad" thing is more or less what I do with my slide playing when with a band, or even acoustically with a singer-songwriter folkie artist, which I've been lucky to do on stage a few times now. Just quietly fill out the chords with long, sustained slides. It's dead easy to do, which is perfect for someone of my limited ability, and sounds great.
Dan is full of useful methods to extract unique and sonically satisfying sound from the guitar. Mick is always there with a solid and complimentary sound that contributes to the magic of That Pedal Show. Cheers to both for the lovely content.
Dave Weckl once said you should be able to play in time and with consistency to a metronome,- then turn it down, not lose the beat, turn it back up and still be just as much in time as before. Being a metal rhythm guitar player is very much about that. Steady as a rock even in the midst of headbanging, windmilling, jumping from monitors etc.,- you shouldn´t lose a single sixteenth. If you do you´re just not good enough. Back to practice. With a metronome going mind you.
As a guy that plays primarily in a modern praise and worship context I think that learning different chord voicings and thinking about where I sit in the mix has opened new worlds up to me. Great episode !!!
Honestly brings to mind Angus and Malcolm Young. Some of the rhythm layers they created were simply brilliant. Shoot to thrill, Have a Drink On me, For Those About to Rock, and many, many more. They all used that method. Makes the sound broader and fuller. Great tips lads. It's amazing what effective tidbits you always bring to light. Keep it up!
Having "big ears" is so very important when playing in a band. Carlos Santana came to mind as I watched this. His rhythm guitar work from the early years of the group was simply perfect.
I thought this subject was something that I was pretty good at. The reason why I watched was a.) I'm a huge fan of the show, and b.) I thought it would help me explain these concepts to my students better. Thank you for reminding me that I know nothing (which is always good). This whole thing was awesome, and I learned some cool new tricks. This is hands down my favorite episode. Much respect to both of you!
With reference to your first point - best piece of guitar tuition I ever had, was when I joined a previous incarnation of my current band. We had just finished rehearsing a pretty basic soul classic and I was feeling quite pleased with myself. I turned to receive the thumbs up from the others, at which point I noticed the drummer (a brick-layer in the local steelworks) glaring at me. "Just listen to the f*@^ing snare" he snarled, as he proceeded to count us in again. I have done ever since and we are regularly congratulated on how tight our rhythm section is!! Once again, thanks for some more great advice that (this time), doesn't cost a fortune!
Malcolm here. A couple of things, absolutely loved the underboost bit. Mick, fan noise and hum are rock and roll, they tell me the digital world is silent...who wants silent? Top episode 😎👍
This is one of the best episodes I've watched. Super useful! Many of the things you talk about, I found out myself through years of playing in bands and jams. Magic begins when you start to connect brain, ears and heart.
I know I'm a bit late on this, but the walrus monument tremolo LFO can be reset by tapping once on the tempo switch. Helps to sync up with the band with just one tap 👍
1. Dan and Mick. Nerds, yes, which is great, but most of all two truly awesome musicians. 2. 36.30 Yeah! 36.40 YEAH! Harmonic tremolo. Moving the whole track, still solid and clean. Wow. 3. Not sure if you think its a good idea. But how interesting it would be to hear you have a go each on a backing track then listen, compare, discuss and take off on massive tangents.
From about 33 min. to around 40 min was pure bliss. Such awesome sounds and awesome playing guys. Big bravo to whoever made that backing track for you too.
Recently moved from Berlin to Kentucky - and got to bond with new friends over TPS. Thanks for bringing us together guys. Awesome playing - look forward to playing more here and putting this all into practice. :)
Aces guys! As a veteran who's been gigging now 50 years (and the first 40 strictly rhythm) I still learn things from you. As in all types of musicianship, listening is the key. IMO As a rhythm player also pay attention to the snare as there is where the drummer may "laying back" in the beat. If you fight him there, you will lose.
Playing rhythm gets me more opportunity to play. A lot of the band leaders I play with want a tight band where much of the time we do runs and fancy parts together. Thanks for covering playing with two guitars and not doubling.
Wow - you guys are getting more & more creative. Great intro & playing together. Love how you both Leave Space for each other, to sit in the mix. Makes me want to purchase a Tech 21 Q-Strip.
Ha! We’re too complex and long winded for most people. Most people just want answers, and we’re here week in week out saying there really aren’t any. :0)
@@ThatPedalShow This is true of so many things. There are no answers, just better questions. And nuance. And complexity. Very much appreciate the TPS formula.
Great subject. I think most of us naturally go straight for that killer lead tone but rhythm is actually more import. If only my lunch break was 49 minutes long ;)
This is great! Pete Townsend in a live setting with The Who is a master class on effective rhythm guitar. Especially with inversions and staying in the pocket.
We rhythm players really appreciate this episode. I've been experimenting more with modulation in recent months and it's fascinating and rewarding. The Walrus Monument V. 2 is a great pedal, but I'm even happier with my EQD Aqueduct vibrato.
TPS has evolved to become so much more than a pedal show, which is awesome in my opinion, always something cool to watch and learn. Cheers guys, keep em coming.
I think you guys know this and it's probably been said many times. But we need more episodes like this putting everything into perspective with a track. Easier said than done I know.
My Boss ME-70 had this ‘Hum->Sing Coil’ setting that was a savior for fitting my Blues Jr into our band mix in smaller settings. Sure it’s just an EQ with light compression, but… Turned my Fuzz and TS into very usable tones behind singer.
And a final comment.........”stop thinking about it as rhythm and lead guitar, just guitar parts in the song” YES! Absolutely spot on.........this has been one of the most enjoyable videos you’ve done guys..........loved it, and got lots of ideas from it! 😎😎😎👍
Man, loved those swells with the delay!! That's going to make some really fun stuff to loop and jam over. Thanks so much for explaining that! You guys are great, thanks for all the love.
Your absolutely right about the bass level on your guitar amp. I play a 59" Bassman reissue and I have my bass level at 0. Their is plenty of bass in my tone.
One of my favourite of your recent episodes (not that any of them have been bad) some really cool sounds, and a couple of ideas I hadn't really thought about, especially the underdrive with the boost.
I love the concept of there being no such thing as lead or rhythm guitar, there’s just parts. I’m not in a band right now, but I was a while back, and that’s exactly the mentality me and the other guitar player took. Neither of us considered ourselves the “lead guitar player” or “rhythm guitar player”. One of us would write a riff and the other would come up with something to complement and/or highlight it. Depending on the song either of us could have been considered the “lead player”. It made the song the important thing instead of our own egos.
Honestly, this is what makes me smile the most. Just turn the gain way up, volume down, hit a chord and let it sustain as a pad. With a nice tone that fits well, it’s zero work to play, but really adds to a song.
Great topic! Very helpful and it gets our creative juices flowing. Watching this show I’m taken back to your episode with Ed O’brien and all the creative soundscapes he adds to the Radiohead sound.
Brilliant! Sending this video combined with the other one about playing two guitars together is the most polite way to tell the other guitarist in your band “get your shit together and stop ruining my day, mate”.
Dan, Mick and Fraser: that was great (again!) this week. The tracks and the playing - especially at the trem and modulation parts - were so good. Could have listened to that for hours.
Barely 2 minutes and already I know this is going to be an epic show. Fantastic. Please do more pedal show's with backing tracks. Let us hear how they sound in a mix.
I'm actually watching this one after watching the last q&a you did and it's great, this is something that comes with time unless both players have experience, a few things that I would like to point out is definitely communication like you said in the q&a is key, FEELING your playing and the others guitar to me this is a big part, learning the songs is another thing so that both know where to do their own things, another thing is get your own tone even if the other person don't like it, you be you.
One of the best episodes of late and I am in a way still considered new to guitar. So new as I have not learned my first song. I see how textures can be created and I have been watching since the old channel when I was trying to teach my self.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! There is so much wisdom and advice in this video and I’m so glad you’re doing more of these videos on rhythm guitar. More please! One side note, I learned the lesson about not being in the singer’s frequency range when my band got rid of our singer, a guy, and got a new one, a woman. With her on the mic, there is so much more room for the guitar - it’s amazing how that works!
Mic - thank you for always paying attention to the background noise and trying to minimize it. But I’ll bet it bothers you more than it bothers us. You’re doing an awesome job man. Keep it up.
As a TPS “newbie” (I’ve been watching about nine weeks), I can confirm that this show does wonders for a man’s marriage. Nine weeks ago, I’d never used a pedal. I now have more pedals than Imelda Marcos had shoes, and the glances of admiration from my wife when I engage with finding tone and texture from my playing have reinstated me as the guitar-playing-rock-god of my household. And my kids think I’m pretty cool, too. Many, many thanks!
Great episode but I nearly fell off my chair when Mick said "it's just a bit of overdrive and delay - you don't need to worry about that'. You've changed! Hehe
So many GREAT ideas and suggestions in this video! I will be watching and rewatching this one for years to come! You've really done us all a service with your channel but, you've outdone yourselves today! Thank you, mates!
the playing in this show was GILGAMESH!!! Mick your lead over Dans rythem took my breath dude...best episode ever...tons of great tips....love backing tracks...love D&M drive...going to buy one in fall.
Great show! Made me think. Tip of the hat to Frasier for the awesome backing tracks. I hope you enjoyed making this video as much as I enjoyed watching it.
Frazer--great job on the backing track! Even after hearing it 1000x, it was still a slick progression for the listener to hear and the boys to play along to.

Thumbs up .. Vote more TPS backing tracks here, just maybe suggest telling chord progression as well as key. 👍
jeff during spot on, if you go to the store it says the Key.. I wanna know the chords.. need all the help I can get! 😆

Check out guitar George, he knows all the chords.
@@benbutterworth7584Mind, it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing.

"It's the parts baby!"

I agree, whoever said it, likewise with bass-the drums are the rock thrown into the water, the bass is the ripple and the guitar is the splash. That’s how I like it anyway.
The bass on the opening track is awesome
That’s Fraser. New boy. He made this. Very talented chap!

You’ve hit gold with Fraser by the way, great backing track.
He’s a talented young man for sure. Has a Tonmeister degree. Serious.
Coming from a metal background, locking in with the drummer and having a picking hand like a metronome has always been important!
Dave Weckl once said you should be able to play in time and with consistency to a metronome,- then turn it down, not lose the beat, turn it back up and still be just as much in time as before.

With a metronome going mind you.
My favorite guitarists have metronomic right hands
Except for Jimi -- that was his left😉
One quick thing for improving your rhythm playing: listen to Kirk Fletcher. And do what he does.

The backing tracks really helped clarify what you were wanting to convey.

Great episode but I nearly fell off my chair when Mick said "it's just a bit of overdrive and delay - you don't need to worry about that'. You've changed! Hehe
Ha! Well it’s not the focus of the show today. Rest assured I always worry about that. Albeit the AC15 wasn’t filling me up today. Hey ho.
Appreciation for Stone, Mike, Eddie of Pearl Jam. Absolute masters of accompaniment rhythm playing...
Excited for this episode, and you did not disappoint. The heavy 90s feel when talking about point 8 was on point.
Great show, guys! As usual! Nice idea with the backing track, well done!
Backing track jam at the start of every episode!! Love it!
So many GREAT ideas and suggestions in this video! I will be watching and rewatching this one for years to come! You've really done us all a service with your channel but, you've outdone yourselves today! Thank you, mates!
Some love for us rhythm dudes. The hard right hands and the deft pickers too. Nice
Well done. Nice vid! I appreciate the preoccupation not just with guitar sound but also with music construction
Best TPS intro ever 🤘
You guys continue to be awe inspiring! Thank you so much. By the way, the Jam Rattler pedal is way way beyond my expectations. It's also inspiring!
I got so many ideas from this episode! I can't believe how I've overlooked using tremolo.
Wow 30 seconds in and I’m hooked! Love the intro!!!!!!
the playing in this show was GILGAMESH!!! Mick your lead over Dans rythem took my breath dude...best episode ever...tons of great tips....love backing tracks...love D&M drive...going to buy one in fall.
Great show! Made me think. Tip of the hat to Frasier for the awesome backing tracks. I hope you enjoyed making this video as much as I enjoyed watching it.
Frazer--great job on the backing track! Even after hearing it 1000x, it was still a slick progression for the listener to hear and the boys to play along to.
What a cracking start. Absolute gold.
When your job is what you love doing! ♥imagine playing around in that office every day, I find myself being quite jealous 😂😎
