I have needed this my whole life. Thank you
+Will Devine No other good lesson on youtube- so I made one! Glad you dig it :)
Just one comment......Thank You! Never really understood the terminology prior to this. Been playing 8 months now, loving it more than ever each new day. And I'm 59.......
I hope you're still playing!
Great introduction to amplifiers for beginner guitar players. Buying an amp can be quite confusing when you're just starting out. Knowing what all the controls do is certainly a big help.
Thank you so much man, you deserve endless subscribers for all your effort
you rock man thank you for all of these I'll recommend you to anyone I've been struggling on this and it helps
This is a great tutorial - you just got a new subscriber! Thanks for using a relatable "real world" amp, too. I don't understand why so many people like to do beginner level demonstration videos using $1800 Mesa Boogie Mark Vs and the like.
Hi Andy, loving the basic stuff after 30 years playing about trying to learn guitar you have popped open the door, Cheers, nice T
Teeside accent?
Super helpful as always. Thank you, Andy!
Thank u sooooo much. I just brought an electric guitar and been racking my brain on how to do those cool sustain sounds and this really helped
Thank you!!!!! Great explanation and demonstration. Really helpful to a relative amateur.
Best explanation
I have ever had, great, thanks
Thank you so much! You explain things very well 👍🏽
Great video, helped me understand my electric violin and amp, thanks!
some vids i watch.. they talk about where the amp was made, why they were made, they don't tell me how to use the amp. But you sir, you get to the point! Thank you!
Mine only has an overdrive button, bass and treble knobs 😔 time to save up. Only a week into playing. Loving the numb fingertip feeling though. The change from e-minor to your all finger G is killing me too 🤬
Andy, Thanks for sharing your videos! I must say you have the greatest videos. Simplified is the best way too keep students wanting to continue the desire to learn. I could never explain the proper way to learn. I'm sending you my future students!!
+Gina VIP always Thanks dude! all the best :)
Thank you so much for this video. So very helpful!
Thank you Andy this is very helpful for a new player.
Thank you Andy. Very helpful.
great video. my amp has a clean and crunch channel and overdrive 1 and 2. just wondering what's the crunch channel for?
Thanks I took notes . This was very helpful
This was a good video. Thank you!
Thanks for the explanation of the contour!
Brilliant video mate
What are your thoughts on amps without a “middle” knob?
This actually helped me so much
great explanation!
Great intro. Thanks
the best clear tutorial ever thank you
what position do you have on the guitar volume and tone settings?
What setting do you recommend if you amp just had a tone knob not a bass treble mid? Set it at Noon what do you think? I’m new been trying to understand this
Thanks , cheers!
Have you done a video for beginners on the Spark amp? Could you?
Thank you Andy again.
thank you
Can you tell me how I can resolve a problem I am having when playing live. I use a deluxe reverb amp and when I get my tone set up (especially the OD or distortion) at home I set it up for a smooth tone with great sustain. When playing live it sounds ok until I turn the volume up then I lose that sustain and smooth distortion.. What can I do?
Nice video!
You are so good... man
Very good!
Exactly the info I needed. I got confused by my amp, as it had no "volume" control! Now I know :)
Morning Andy are you going to do TH-cam on hammer on and off and pull offs and the tab What sometimes can be a bit confusing for a beginner
great video
Hey man i really need your help. What if my amp has loe and high but no bass and treble. Do i get a pedal for it? Or sth? Plesse help
Thank you. Hopefully it will help me with setting up my beringer amp without losing patience with it.
Thank you!
Love it
excellent lesson Sir in beautiful English God bless you.
Does a pedal use its own eq settings or does it rely on the amp eq settings. I’m confused cause some pedals have this feature. I’m not sure if the pedal stacks on the amp or does its own thing.
What pickup to put on bridge of Strat? Hambucker, P90 or some single coil? For Rock or similar. I need exact model for about 50-75$.
hey andy i bought a marshall mg30cd amp with a fender instrument cable and i bought them 3 days ago they worked fine up until today 12/20 then i tried to plug it in but no response . the amp turn on and the led lights up but the guitar is silent need answer asap :
What if i have a boost button and drive and clean are in the same tab
love it
For wanting to do Oasis songs which settings should I try?
hey Andy.. what if i have only Portable amplifier.. how can i get the sound much better? my amp doesnt have "middle or gain"
it only have volume, overdrive, treble and bass? what sjould i do?

Great video! I'm a beginner guitarist. Any tips for maintaining your amp?
1. Is it OK to keep my lead cable plugged into amp? I'm worried frequently plugging in and out will loosen the input jack.
2. Will it destroy the amp to dial everything to the max? Or are they built to take even the highest settings of everything? (As well as frequently changing sound setting?)
There's no problem if your cable is plugged into the amp even if you're not playing. But you can turn everything on the amp, but try to not turning volume to max, because your amp speaker can blow away, or bang out
I also have needed to learn how to adjust the amp for the gallop, thank you
1:57 I believe contour is mid reversed. Which is why it is so hard to get a good sound on Marshall amps that have that knob.
THANK YOU
Some cheap amps have a tone knob instead of the 3 Eq knobs, what's up with that ?
What to do while playing maroon 5 moves like jagger well my amps got gain volume contour and that’s it!
Bravo 👏
ok I have a silly question.
the song of my guitar is louder than the song of my ampli, especially with the higher strings.
I can't turn on the volume to much but can I lower the volume of my guitar instead?
Andy which amp u r using ?
I haven't any processor or pedal. So I use only higher gain in amp for distortion. Is it any bad for my amplifier ?
Please enlighten me sir 🙏
Hi, I am wondering what exactly the volume and tone settings on the guitar do. Should the volume on the guitar match the volume on the amp? Should my two tone dials be set the same?
+Immortally-Dead Volume is just loudness ( like a volume on anything) tone is brightness, so turning the tone down makes the house duller. Barely anyone uses tone, but a lot of guitarists use volume by turning it down a touch to clean up the sound a little
Thanks so much guys! This will really help :)
I have a Laney amp LXX15 I pressed the bright button that is on the amp it did not do anything what is it meant to do.
Maybe plug in your guitar? Make sure the plug is tightly secured on both ends, from your guitar, and the input
How do the guitar knobs relate to the amp?
I love it!
Does your amp have any leather?
What's the best way to set your amp for guitar solos?
Also what are some great amps that I could buy?
Really no answer to that. 100% depends on the song
It depends on the genre
Im also thinking this question..please dear,give me answer..thank's a lot..may god bless you.
How can I get a green day kinda sound?
Can the overdrive be produced in an electro acoustic guitar
shubhankar singh yes, no reason why not
Got a line 6 for gigs, but when I try to play it loud, the amp squeals, how do I adjust my amp so it doesn’t do that
I tried drive and it just created a strong sound, but it wasn't pleasing, it was more like a fail. Can someone explain why?
My does my od select button make such a loud noise tho im so confused
My amp is gonna arrive today
So how do you add the delays and such then?
I can't seem to get that sound.
+PlainSailingWeather If your amp doesn't have Delay or Reverb on it, you'd need a pedal to get that sound. Boss do great pedals that cover all the bases! www.gear4music.com/Guitar_--_Bass_Effects/Boss.html
Andy Guitar
Ah yeah mine doesn't, I'll check 'em out, thank you very much.
+PlainSailingWeather You could also consider getting a Line 6 Pocket Pod which has many different effects, as well as numerous amp and cab mods.
+TSB no. Line 6 never.
my amplifier has Tuning Fork, Tone EFX, Delay/Reverb, no idea what these do, help please?
What amp do you have?
Damn for a beginner you got a pretty good amp
Essentially what Reverb and delay does was to add an echo effect to your guitar, delay is how delayed the sound in the guitar you want.
My amp doesn't have an od what should I do?
My amp kepps doing those noisy sounds and it didn't come out with the rock style sound that I like
My amp has a setting that is labeled phone what is it used for?
Head phones
Awesome! Say toast!
Andy on your les paul which pickup do you most commonly use ?
+Andrew Bedford Treble aka bridge pickup!
Andy Guitar thanks Andy. I have the cheaper encore model, sounds a bit tinny to me on the bridge. Maybe have a fiddle with some of the amp settings!
+Andrew Bedford Is that the E99 cause I'm thinking about buying one and was wondering if it was any good
Eddie97 1878 hi eddie. Yeah I like it a lot actually. I have a pacifica and squier strat too. And I often find I pick up the encore first. Just make sure it's setup right. I had to watch a lot of youtube vids to sort it out :)
+Andrew Bedford Cheers for the help 😄👍
when i change the clean sound to overdrive no sound comes out
I want to ask u..I'm beginners..can I play electric guitar without pedasl??
yahya al fariz totally
my amp has no gain. It only has volume, bass, treble, and middle. how can I adjust the gain?? please help
Naomi Bea Tribucias You need a pedal which can give you gain or an amp that already has gain, you can't can't adjust the gain if it doesn't even have it.
Pedals! Like distortion pedals
Buy some distortion pedat
Pedals
What is drop g tuning and how do you switch to it.
my amp only has volume master volume trebble and bass
and i wanna play acdc how do i make it sound rocky
Need some pedals
Very hard to understand this on my Kustom amp Quad 100 HD.
I have my guitar plugged into the amp and the amp is on and plugged in, but it still doesnt work. Help
Same
@@rydersquires5877 me neither..?
Is the Volume Knob on your Guitar turned high enough?
I just got an electric guitar
Are headphone amps better?
+Jonathan Garcia I love listening to MUSIC on headphones, you can really hear each instrument in it's place as part of the whole. However- I HATE headphone amps! they are very tiring on the ears and I always think the tone largely sucks, but i'm a big fan of valve amps so I'm a bit of a purist!
Oh ok I see thanks for the response :D. No headphone amps for me then.
Nice to have a headphone option when you have to be silent though
I was the 2k like woh
well this was no help cant you do one for a fender mustang amp
what is middle? I could use my common sense but I just want to be sure.
It controls how much you're 5 and 4th string (6 being big E string, 1 being small E string) break through the mix.
how important is grind control on amp
My Fender amp has 4 Channels and I have no fucking idea what everything except Overdrive does._.
Contour knob is not like Mid knob ...
you're a Barnsley fan aren't you
