But any experienced guitarist will know that the first example he played sounds like shit, and every beginner starts out doing something like that.

Same mate. To be honest though nobody really puts the info out there to get a really good tone. I find that only after 16 years of playing that I have now the ability to get a really good sounding tone because of looking back at what I used to do. People on here just saying simple things like roll back the gain and don’t scoop the mids too much ( it is helpful ) but isn’t the ultimate answer. Obviously so many variables come in to it which no one explains. Like for instance - certain amps have naughty frequencies. Like about 4k on the 5150 for me always needs to be adjusted dependant on how much low end you put in. It is endless as even the guitar your using comes into this. It was using a helix that made me realise how much. Making a mega patch that I spent hours on. Change the guitar and it sounds terrible 🤣 Even having someone else play the exact same guitar on the same patch can change it in a big way. One thing I have discovered which is cool with a helix is to make a tone you like and then try to replicate it closely with a completely different amp and drive pedal on another patch. In the mix you then have similiarity but not the same and then with dual guitar parts you get such a nice fill of the spectrum. I think one thing I definitely always do now is think of tone in the context of a mix and not what I hear when I make a tone for playing in the room. Low end is something that new players struggle with because they don’t realise how many tracks have been layered or how much the bass fills in. We can all of experience say so much more for beginners or people who are struggling I think many just think ah fuck it I spent ages learning my craft to get where I am. We all would have been so much better at it quicker if we got help 🤣

All it is is hitting the string with a little bit of your thumb and pick in the right spot over the pickups. And playing aggressively helps make them ring out better. Don’t be afraid to really attack the strings when you’re picking especially for pinch harmonics. Best thing is to have a more experienced player show you how to hold the pick and where to pick the string. Plenty of videos cover it too.

So true. That thin tone that appears to lack bottom is intended to sit perfectly in the mix. Begginers and bedroom players tend to over compensate for the fact there is no bassist filling out the sound.

Noise gate appart, it sounds like a completely different amp! I'm so intrigued on the professional tone dial! It sounds so sick!

Back then i had just a 10w shitty amp (which i still have), no gain control whatsoever. Then i got a behringer um300 pedal, which doesn't sound really good with that amp and it sounds shitty af plugged in directly to an interface, but at least i had distortion (which i never used since i started playing guitar, like 6-7 years ago). Then i bought a behringer multieffects pedal, which i didn't use that much, and the pitch shifter is just useless. Then i got some tools to plug my guitar to my computer and used bias fx 1-2 for a long time, until i got my zoom g1x four, which its pretty good for the price, and with some equalizers and reverb you can get a somewhat acceptable sound, and it's pretty easy to use too. Edit: i forgot to include that after that i bought a marshall mg10 10w amp, which paired with the zoom g1x four pedal creates a pretty metal tone.

The most iconic albums, the albums that people would generally associate with amazing quality, were recorded fairly cheaply. Equipment back in the day wasn't as advanced as it is now.

If you want a good metal amp look at brands such as: Mesa, Engl, Marshall, Peavey. I remember when I got my full stack it totally changed the game for me. If you’re looking at getting a real amp get a tube one you won’t regret jt. You could also go the digital route and get a rig like a line 6 helix or boss gt1000. I personally recommend at least checking both options out because with a digital rig you’ll have a bunch of amps built in plus effects(pedals). If you go digital it can be more user friendly with using effects and since you’re familiar with presets you could dial in some sweet metal tones. Obviously going the tube route is always fun cause you get that super huge amazing looking piece of gear that sounds better than anything you’ll ever hear.

I was the same way… loved turning up the gain so much because I thought it would have given me more sustain, now that I’ve gotten really good I’ve really turned down the gain a lot over the past few years, and it does make a difference.

Mans talking about professional tones while wearing a slip knot shirt 😶‍🌫️ I think the first tone sounded way better than the “professional” tone

The power of the all mighty Noise Gate!

Now I want to hear the second tone with the Dunlop Flow Gloss 2.0

Guys I need help. I don’t have any amps, I only use sims. I’m a complete beginner and very bad at naming things so I’m very confused reading the comment section. Been at this for some weeks and can’t get a decent tone. I have bias fx 2 and guitar rig. What should I do there? All the presets sound like shit and I feel like I’m overdoing it with a lot of effects. I can’t find decent videos explains it either. If anyone could throw me a hand I would be grateful, thanks fellow metalheads 🤘

Not a fan of either tone

Same. The ''Professional'' one sounds plastic... lifeless/sterile, very fizzy in the top end and lacking bottom end.

well, idk, I love the overall pro dist, but yeah, it just cuts thru the mix too much

Doesn't it relate to what the musician is going for in a given song, style etc? I like the second one better tbh, BUT, as so many have stated, it's subjective to a point. The point stops when there is too much gain and the mix cannot survive lol....I have learned this the hard way. \m/:)

One of the best riffs in the history of metal. Lamb of God are GIANTS

It’s because of the chair

I have an amazing story if anyone's interested. One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith. So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana". I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly… I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling. He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car. A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.

Gee this god just loves to come to random fucks when they aren’t even looking for a revelation and grant them “proof” of his existence, and ignore people like me who genuinely searched and went to church and attempted prayer for months looking for answers or signs.

Lmao when the beginner one ended with the massive feedback I was dying

I lol'd at the lack of a gate

Mark Morton and Willie Adler = a killer riff all day everyday ! LOG ! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

So clean

Nothing says pro like a Harley Benton ;)

Beginner tone usually being the built in cab IR's on all amp cab sims

I love crunchy tones

What sounds good by itself vs. what sounds good in the mix

First tone sounds like a radio that's not tuned to the station correctly.

They both sound good

Nailed it, I think we as guitarists tend to dial in way too much gain and bass at first

Dude you look good! BTW you are my fav guitarrist on youtube since a couple of years!

I believe its called personal preference

Is it?

Summary of what i read from the comments: have a quality amp; have good picking; don't use too much gain, set it lower and boost with overdrive pedal; dont use too much bass; dont scoop the mids too much.

Both sound great and have their uses in a mix

This is why these guys live alone.

I am still waiting for Neural DSP to do a line 6 spider (the black one) plugin so I can finally use the 'insane' mode again. Gain on full. Mids to 0, treble and bass on full. Sorted.

For beginning all you needed was noise gate it sounded amazing ngl

But seriously, my first amp was a Dixie cup and I ran my signal through a kazoo and an all F's report card. My B string was drawn on with a grey crayon. Nergal's cousin heard me playing, called up Nergal, and said, "i think i found the sound you've been looking for!"

You are a bad ass jamieslays. Love your vids

@@JamieSlayswow didn't expect that. You play all my favs and you are a legend makes me feel good about still learning my guitar.

I guess the point isn't: bad gear vs good gear. He was showing how a beginner would dial his tone compared to a pro with the same gear

I currently have a Line 6 ... I feel that it works well enough some times but not always the easiest finding the right effect

I’ve always wanted an explorer like that
