thursday scratch
Written on Thursday evening, 14 March, and Saturday, 16 March 2013, this track leaves lots of room for the lyrics i never wrote. In fact, despite the carefully crafted, Stewart Copeland-inspired, no-kick-on-one drum beat, I never wrote lyrics for it, mostly because i was afraid to write the lyrics i really wanted to write...
Yes, the 12-string video stays too long. Yes, i had dyed my hair copper. Yes, that was white shag carpet (from Ikea, if you must know). The bass video is not of the keeper track. The googly eyes popped off the bass drum less than halfway through the song. And, yes, that is the actual price tag from Willcutt's for that purple Danelectro, which you hear played through a late '60s Fender Champ, double tracked, because that's how i roll.

Jon Dittert and I got together on a Wednesday in April, with no material, just a plan to make something. "Pick a key..." About three hours later, this is the result, a piece that messes with your sense of timing. We both set up cameras, so there's a rare second angle on the drums, and some handheld camera work on the guitar.
Somebody That I Used To Know

Who doesn't love Power Ballads? Big reverb, plodding tempo, acoustic verses and electric choruses, screeching guitars, and melodramatic vocals. Here's a Power Ballad treatment of Gotye's 2012 hit, with a little help from Tessa on vocals.

The opener from The Who's "Quadrophenia", tracked all in one night, Friday, 11 Oct 2013. Very rough around the edges, but raw energy fits the song better, i think.
TD-11 Demo
Переглядів 38610 років тому
A quick tour of interesting sounds and capabilities of the Roland TD-11k electric drum set. I just dorked around on the kit, rather badly at times, with the camera and recorder running, and cut together some of the interesting bits. I didn't capture the choke capability on the crash cymbal, but that's kinda tricky to use, anyway.

I left the equipment running after tracking a song, and blew off a little steam by bashing the crap out of my drums. As it turns out, not only do the overheads pick up my voice rather well, i lose all sense of timing when singing while drumming. Derp. Poorly improvised Saturday afternoon, 16 March 2013.

Twins' Lullaby

This is a simple tune i wrote to soothe my twin daughters when they were babies, in 2004. I would play the chords and sing the melody, and they would calm down and watch, until either they fell asleep or i couldn't sing any more. Recorded 27 January 2013 as a multitrack guitar instrumental.

Hmm seams what not to do picking standing need to tilt the pick a little
what riff is that?
It's the main riff from an unfinished song from ages ago. The palm-muted chugs on the low E coincide with the kick drum, so it was great for practicing heel-toe pedal work since i only had the single kick pedal. I was going to make a video with it, but, well, Life Happened.
Timeless banger.
Grind a groove out of the back edge under where the knobs are so it won't slide off your thigh, and while you're in the workshop saw the end of the bottom part of the V off behind the jack hole. The Flying V is a flawed design, you have to do a little bit of customization, now go, there's no time to waste, find the circular saw and the grinder, they're probably behind the Rubbermaid containers, probably fell back there. Don't forget to put the safety glasses on, could be a few chunks of plastic fly off when you go through the pick guard. Never mind the hot plastic smell, it'll clear. Now get on out there, go go go!

Thanks, always wondered!
Literally exactly what i was looking for
sus
😆
this video was posted literally the day I turned 12 and didn´t even know guitars and bass guitars were different. Now I´m a few months from turning 22 and even if I don´t have a gibson, I do have a dean V shaped guitar, which I love to the death, and it´s literally the most comfortable guitar I´ve had so far
also I just watched the video I can´t believe my whole life I´ve had the same birthday as one of the sickest guitar body shapes of all time. I am now a guitar
best way to play on a flying v is not to play on it
I weep for you, because the Flying V is the best guitar evar.. ;-)
Lol I grew up with Randy Rhodes always around in my life because of my dad and ended up being my guitar hero next to my old man so Flying V are my go to guitars for sitting down there conferable for me
A king v is easier to sit with
That V looks identical to mine, it's a 89' 67 reissue... I don't know how it even became a thing this debate on sitting with a V, it's the most comfortable shape.
Good eye. This one is a '67 Reissue made in 1990. I got it brand new when I was fifteen. :-)
Before getting one, I already know how to play it while sitting
Does work with BC Rich Draco though lol
Marcel Marceau eat your heart out!
Why am I watching this I already know how to sit with a V
you just put it upon / around your left nee. Easy as can be. Best guitar in taht way.
im excited for the new epiphone prophecy V to arrive so im watching videos like these
Personally wouldn't even buy a guitar if I'm not able to sit with it in that position. It's called Classical and it's honestly the best way to hold a guitar sitting down. At least for me
Wholeheartedly agree. Comfortable and complete access to the entire fretboard.
cheers man, you're a life saver.
dont
lol :D thats what i was looking for :D
Some guitarists dumb as hell if this was ever a problem with V guitars
forro
I just got a Dean!
That’s the exact V model that I’ve always wanted. I have a LTD V and yup that’s the only way to play one sitting down. But I like that it’s actually more stable than playing a traditional guitar in the sitting position. At least for me.
What an awesome vid!
its shame that I cant really play holding the guitar like that, flying v's are such a cool looking guitars
Randy Rhoads: Phew! So glad that I’ve already practiced this pose for a few years
Cause he’s dead? Lmao
@@prodevus shame on you
@@Leatherface123. Stfu
Classical position is the best, and most similar to the guitar position while standing. I don’t get why so many guitarists don’t use it. John 5 is one of the few rock players I’ve seen using it.
Funnily enough most photos of Randy playing Les Pauls and Strats show him playing them in the casual position
Lmao! Been there!
deje las drogas amigo, buen video!
It's so annoying when people complain about sitting with a flying V. Yeah, my first time using it I was like how the hell do I sit with this thing, but after a couple minutes you figure it out. I actually think it's uncomfortable playing in a seated position with anything else other than a V.
based and redpilled +1
YES you get that full arm swinging motion in easier in my opinion it makes you play faster as well flying V's for everyone
@@krzywozeby3791 never say that again
@@craig6381 w-why? OwO
exactly, i cant play my strat squier or acoustic in that position, i am literally not able to play like that, but i used to play like it lol :D
Hey, isn't that the same guitar that Kirk Hammet plays in that video where he's playing riffs from MOP??
It's close. His looks like a '67 style from the 80s with speed knobs and EMG pickups. Mine is a '67 "reissue" from 1990 (bought it new by mail order from AMS when i was in high school), with the wizard hat knobs, 590's mounted directly to the pick guard without rings, and unashamedly the best neck in the universe. My heroes at the time were Kirk and Randy Rhoads, so, yeah, of course. :-)
Ok great problem solved. Now how do we sit with the reversed v? Reversed? 😝
samuraiguitarist can answer that more definitively than i. :-D
I have a Jackson V and I got used to it after a few hours of practicing with it Now when I switch to my les Paul i position it like my V lol
Try to do this with a flying v strinberg :D kkk
Is this a joke because its funny
Beautiful guitar
Thanks. :-) I bought it brand new in 1990 (i was in high school), and it has been my main squeeze ever since.
Scott Arrington dude... this is hilarious, I’m not kidding, i was literally just searching UA-cam for “how to sit w a Flying V” because I just bought myself a new Rhoads and its super uncomfortable, and then this pops up. I totally forgot about this haha, excellent timing my friend...
Scott Arrington and I totally understand, I prolly wouldn’t even leave the house without that beauty lol
What’s that red guitar you’re using in this video?
That's The Muppet, a heavily modified Bently Series 10 superstrat. I bought it new for $225, as my first electric guitar, in 1988. I replaced all the stock pickups with DiMarzios, added a coil-tap switch and completely re-wired it, replaced the stock tremolo with an actual Floyd Rose, and painted my own nickname over the headstock. The neck feels like a Charvel or Jackson -- it plays surprisingly well, all the more surprising because it was a "student-grade" guitar. Bonus fact -- I recorded it here through an '80s Peavey Audition Chorus (which i bought with the guitar) for extra 80's authenticity. :-)
Scott Arrington thanks! That’s pretty neat. Love the video, and especially when the tone.
All the weed we smoked in the 70s and we never needed any one to show us how to sit with the V.
Hey Bruh, it's all in good fun! :D
@Grace&Danger lmao fact
Oh man
when i started playing guitar i tried to sit with a V and it was a disaster. that was before i started smoking weed though so maybe that was the problem
My left forearm begins to tighten because my blood drops down in that position. I am doing something wrong? (I have a jackson randy rhoads)
I also got jackson rhoades, but the problem why are your hand tightening is because you are not properly handling the guitar .....relax more left hand
Why am I even watching this I don't have a v
Same
Same
Nathan Murphy get one
You should get one. Mine is as light as an SG but better balanced, plays like butter, and sounds like a choir of angels. Just don't bother sitting down with it. :-)
I dont even have a guitar
All of them are uncomfortable
I have a messed up shoulder, so for sitting with a guitar the V shape is perfect for my posture. I love my other guitars too, but they have to be played standing up because of that
Good thing you didn't have the cord in.
this guy looks like axel rose
you should sit in that posture with all guitar shapes tbf
I tried it with my Les Paul and it feels like I have a 2 giant balls between my legs. Like Randy on that episode of South park 😂
A perfect VID! Tight and groovy funk, clever and honest satirical description, killer guitars and angles and even Googly Eyes! /w\ /w\ (we kinda "have" to know if those forbidden lyrics ever materialized? Since YOU brought it up to torture our viewer curiosity or wha???)
