Thanks Eddie, I really needed to hear this. I have too many negative people in my life that tell me that I don't have what it takes to play guitar. Or I spend too much time with my guitars. But it's what I really enjoy and need to feel happy. Thank you again!
Nonsense! If you've got two hands and a heart, you've got what it takes to learn how to play the guitar! Don't listen to those whose only intent is to tear you down...
Newer guitar player with a few guitars (2 Strats & a Les Paul). I kept bouncing between them chasing certain tones. Last few months, I settled on sticking with one of my Strats to really get familiar with it and learn the nuances of the different sounds I can make with it. This was the perfect video lesson for that, as I kind of stumbled on a few of the tips here by myself, but your video helped me discover new tones and solidify the purpose of the tweaks I discovered myself. Thank you for the great lesson that will hopefully curb my GAS for just a little while longer 😂
I remember some students in Berklee showing me this before and thinking "so that's what these knobs can do...) I forgot most of it. Thanks for the refresher. So many great sounds to from such simple little things.
Another brilliant lesson! Thank you for this. I've been playing over 40 years and NEVER understood this. It all makes sense now. GMM continues to amaze me with your hacks. Thanks again Eddie!
I am a fairly inactive member of GMM, I drive OTR commercial truck, so my excuse at the end of 10-14+ hour day is, " I'm to tired to practice/play" - that may be the worst excuse, I know, I just wanted to say, Eddie Hadad, you are my favorite "teacher/mentor" - I have dozens of your instructional lessons, tips, hacks, and very helpful videos downloaded, and I promise, when I pull my head out of myself, I'll put something out there.
I have a les Paul jr. Epiphone and it's the only Les Paul style guitar that I have and when the volume is low with no effects at all it's nice and clean you just turn it up a little bit and you get Distortion it's pretty awesome it's got a humbucker in that's the only guitar I have with a humbucker in it so I don't have a lot of experience with humbuckers but that's what happens you don't even need a effects all you need to do is turn up the volume and you get distortion and it's nice it's really works well I love this guitar
Likewise! I have an LP Jr., and I learned more about tone control on that single pickup guitar than any other I've owned. When You can't just flick a switch to another pickup, you really pay attention to what you've got.
Really wonder sometimes from where you get such crazy ideas to play guitar. It makes guitar sound so impressive n an ordinary guitarist may look like great player. Sir, hat's off to you. All your lessons are such & no one teaches. Gr8.
Thanks for the hacks. After many years I have finally acquired a Strat and a LP, so I am blessed with a lot of tone, but these hacks about tripled the amount of tones.
I've seen Santana constantly working his knobs. I have a couple of Strats and love the 4 position on the pickups, sometimes the middle. Rarely on the 1 or 2 unless I want that "La Bamba" sound. Until now. I've placed the volume on high and control the actual volume on the amp. I didn't look at the volume as more gain, just a fuller sound. Thanks for teaching these things.
Thanks Eddie for a better understanding of my Strat. I've got alot of experimenting to do (l have the Gold Sensor pick ups, fifties classic sound). Great lesson!!!
Eddie, here's a suggestion. Get out one of those Epis (like I have) with the push-pull knobs, and do a slant on this presentation again demonstrating those.
This is great, I have a les Paul copy, and at my age, I'm finding it hard to get to grips with the controls. I have been thinking about getting a strat copy, this video has made up my mind! The sounds you get are amazing
depends on your pedals too some clean really well on any guitar around 7 so the pedals make a difference too, ts9 clean up well and you get clean tone 6-7 depending on your pots
Oh yea, I'm a beloved strat guy, father of 3. I love the 2nd position (Middle and bridge) for Sweet home Abalamba tone. Just back off the volume a little. Very informative, great job. Kids, listen to this man. Its all true!
Hey Eddie, what are your thoughts on using a volume pedal to slowly increase the sound instead of the volume knob? I think that the pedal would be easier if you don't want to fumble around too much with the knobs on the guitar.
One guitar short of the perfect NUMBER of guitars... not the amount of guitars. If you can count them it is number if you cant then it is amount. The amount of knowledge you have because you can't count knowledge in numbers.
Thanks Eddie, great ear and eye opener. Never really understood what my S type guitar nobs accomplished. The upper tone nob on my G&L pulls out, what does this do for me? Thanks
Hey Eddie - what is that guitar you're playing? I'm digging the tele pickup on the bridge, and strat pickups in the middle and on the neck. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks..
I thought on a Strat that the Tone know "Furthest away" controlled the middle PUP... I know this because Eric Johnson wires his Strats where the that Furthest away know controls the Bridge PUP.. Am I mistaken?
Problem i have on my strat is that the tone gets muddy when i roll down the volume, i know some people fit a treble bleed to get round this, but heard that some people don't like it.
Hey all experienced guitar players. I as a beginner cant understand one thing. Why is "sound from electric guitar" som important to you? I mean, you change the output with effects, distortion etc anyway. I understand that accoustic guitars sound different because of the wood and string but why is so much commotion around electric guitars when you always "destroy" its raw sound into anything you like? Hopy you understand my point :D
You know , you know , you know , you know , you know , like , you know , kinda , you konow , like , you know ........ Not gonna count but the man said "you know" at least 50 times . "Five hacks" , you know , for those who kinda do not know like what 5 is , you know, he holds up you know like five fingers . And you know they are not "hacks" you know , they you know are like normal functions of you know the instrument . A hack is kinda like you know the opposite : you know like using a product you know in a kinda like different way you know , than intended like , you know .

@Duane Nicholas. Don't listen to them. This is YOUR thing, not theirs, so what you think is the ONLY thing that counts.

Same here man. Im a new beginner but I've always wondered how to set my tone, and now it's not in the pedals
My guitar was made in 1963 and still sounds good. I'll give it a try.
Jeff Beck is the king of control knobs and whammy bar....he makes a stat 🎸 sing 🎶🎵 like no one else can
This definitely had to be said! Amazingly explained. Big LIKE 👍
I remember some students in Berklee showing me this before and thinking "so that's what these knobs can do...) I forgot most of it. Thanks for the refresher. So many great sounds to from such simple little things.
I have a HSS Strat and a Les Paul. This lesson has opened up my eyes to the options available to me on each! Thank you!
Joe Bonamassa really uses the guitar controls to adjust his sound on stage instead of running to the pedal board. Great lesson Eddie!!!
Another brilliant lesson! Thank you for this. I've been playing over 40 years and NEVER understood this. It all makes sense now. GMM continues to amaze me with your hacks. Thanks again Eddie!
This was an excellent explanation of things i had always wanted to know about tone/volume knobs on a guitar

That's why Jeff Beck and Robin Trower went from Gibson to Fender strat 🎸 🎵🎶 to get more expression in playing
tnx you bro,good teacher,,,god bless,always care,
Thanks Eddie, just rewatch this and got a lot from it... I got something to play with when I 🎸 again ❗

Obliged Sir.
Thanks for the video very well done I play a thin line Tele and the middle position is my go to for the tone I like the best
Great hacks! Thanks Eddie/GMM...keep em comin!
Fantastic lesson! Thanks again, Eddie!
Thanks Eddie. Great 👍 ideas. I know I'll be using them more.
Thanks Eddie for sharing your knowledge!!!
Lots of information, time to experiment. Thanks Eddie, great video. ✌
I learned everything I needed thank you
Thanks for the hacks. After many years I have finally acquired a Strat and a LP, so I am blessed with a lot of tone, but these hacks about tripled the amount of tones.
Tripled the number of tones... NOT amount of tomes.
Mine says tones
Thank you Eddie! Great stuff to experiment with!

@@GuitarMasteryMethod Do EET!!
Thank you,I'm experimenting.
Absolutely brilliant. I've been second guessing for a long time. Now I can put methodology into my controls. Thank you
Cool hacks Eddie and great tips
This is great, I have a les Paul copy, and at my age, I'm finding it hard to get to grips with the controls.
I have been thinking about getting a strat copy, this video has made up my mind!
The sounds you get are amazing
Thanks Eddie! Been going deeper into the Guitarist Blueprint to help with L50 course. Keep up the good work.
That was amazing what one can do with pick up. Thank you
Thanks man ! Ive been using these knobs wrong ill give it a try
Thanks- very helpful.
Awsome video . Keep it simple direction
Very cool! And informative. Thank you!
Awesome lesson and thank for sharing your video 😂😂👍👍💚

Hey Eddie, what are your thoughts on using a volume pedal to slowly increase the sound instead of the volume knob? I think that the pedal would be easier if you don't want to fumble around too much with the knobs on the guitar.
Funny I've always used the middle bridge position.
When I say “I want to get another guitar”, it’s because I have a problem. I am always one guitar short of the perfect amount.

@@classictvanimator2080 Wow! Thanks for contributing absolutely nothing to discussion. You must be so much fun to be around. 🤮
GAS is a very real thing. I know because I have it.
Great , done 🐣
Thank's Eddie these are great tips. Can you tell us about that great looking & sounding guitar your playing? 🧢
@@GuitarMasteryMethod thanks for that these are special indeed.🧢
Thanks Eddie, great ear and eye opener. Never really understood what my S type guitar nobs accomplished. The upper tone nob on my G&L pulls out, what does this do for me? Thanks
Great video, What guitar is that? Thanks
Nice
Hey Eddie - what is that guitar you're playing? I'm digging the tele pickup on the bridge, and strat pickups in the middle and on the neck. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks..
Eddie have you tried a bleeder circuit on the volume to boost the mids at lower volume?
What kind of amp are you playing through?
Doesn't traditional Strat wiring have no tone control for the bridge pickup?
Yes I think you are right. I wire my strats so the neck and bridge have the tone control and the centre has none. 🎸
I don't use the whammy bar because there's so much I can do with the volume and tone knobs.
I thought on a Strat that the Tone know "Furthest away" controlled the middle PUP... I know this because Eric Johnson wires his Strats where the that Furthest away know controls the Bridge PUP..
Am I mistaken?
can you explaining and showing the different positions on ARIA PRO 2 CS 350 CARDINAL SERIES thank you in advance
Problem i have on my strat is that the tone gets muddy when i roll down the volume, i know some people fit a treble bleed to get round this, but heard that some people don't like it.
Turn the tone up a little 👍.
