Ken Bennett Thats common for some Jazz guitars. It's because in Jazz they most often use warm sounds with more bass on the EQ so often Jazz guitar players will only use the neck pickup hence why some don't have a bridge pickup

I feel like the approach here is a little misguided. I don't think we should be looking at "How does the riff I wrote on my Superstrat sound on another guitar" but rather "how can I take advantage of the different character of this guitar to make something unique?". For this video, a neck pickup only hollowbody guitar doesn't really have the bite for low quick chugs like in the example riff to sit well imo. But playing something sludgey and doomy as you said, I could see this guitar being the winner. Maybe add a second comparison where you look at what your thoughts were after round one and say "ok lets play to that strength and see what happens". I realize that the way you produce these would make that a pretty massive undertaking to add, but I think it'd be valuable. Just my 2¢, love what you do!

I seriously think this sounds unique and somewhat better than your usual video. Sometimes I get sick of hearing metal guitar tone that is too saturated, too tight and too perfect. I think they have the place in metal, a little imperfection makes some nuance

True, but I think all you need to achieve metal is not really based on the guitar, more is based on the distortion pedals. Obviously, metal has it tricks sometimes, such as making great melodies. Anyways, you could have a crappie guitar, as long as that amp and distortion pedals are on fleek, people won't notice the difference. Plus, I dont think the sound of metal should be the foundation of how good the guitar sounds. For example, most people test their acoustic guitars by playing classical songs, to see if the guitar sounds beautiful or how it feels. I think the foundation of electric guitars, should be how clear they sound, and how you dont get interference.

Actually, as someone who wants to learn, but knows next to nothing, I really didn't think the kind of guitar mattered. I thought any electric could be used for metal as long as it could be distorted.

You can certainly play prog and hard rock. Alex Lifeson played a ES355* semi-hollow on all of the great early Rush stuff. Steve Howe played an ES-175 and ES-345 on most Yes records. I know this is hard rock but Pete Townshend recorded Who's Next with a Gretsch Chet Atkins. I love the tone of semi/fully hollow guitars in rock, prog, and metal. They certainly bring some great tones to table. I'd love to see more heavy bands incorporating them into their music. Rock on, Glenn! Edit: Hollowbody 7 string?! Awesome.

Thinking of getting a hollowbody and this video came up on my feed after watching your new Line6 Catalyst video and Glen man you lost weight since this one and look great 👍 keep up the healthy lifestyle man. Love your videos, really helped me learn how to track bass, vocals, and guitar over the years

That seven string hollow body looked killer and sounded quite awesome. Had a PRS kind of vibe going on, and I very much dig that.

Rule of thumb: The more acoustically resonant you make the guitar, the less you can utilize it for electric/distorted tones. Here are some of the biggest factors: Size: To be more acoustically resonant, arch-tops are typically much bigger and wider than solid-body guitars. If you put an L5 next to a Stratocaster, the L5 would tower over a Strat. Acoustically, this makes the guitar sound huge, but this obviously plays into feedback. Bridge: The reason the Eastman seemed so "dead" is because of the wooden bridge. When you have a wooden bridge, as opposed to a standard tune-omatic metallic bridge, it creates a darker sound that is pretty sweet for acoustic playing and cleaner tones, but it kills a lot of the guitar's sustain, which is vital for those metal and high-gain distortion tones. Laminated versus Solid-top: A lot of arch tops are laminated tops, which means they put the pickups into the guitar, which means there are holes for the pickups, and then some arch-tops have pickups placed on top of a solid-top guitar. The solid-top guitars are better for acoustic playing but are really hard to tame at higher-level volumes, so laminated tops are preferred for electric playing. Semi-hollow versus hollow: Guitars like the ES-335 are not entirely hollow. They have been shaped with a plank in the middle of the body. This means these guitars lose acoustic resonance, but they are ideal for electric playing. The bigger jazz hollow-bodies, such as the L5 and the ES-175, are fully hollow, which means they are more prone to feedback. It is also important to mention that the flat-wound strings, the strings typically used for jazz playing, are much darker and remove a lot of the extra string noise. Pickups used for jazz guitars are also considerably darker and do not often work for higher-gain distortion. I think with all of these factors coming into play, semi-hollow electric guitars would probably fair alright for metal because they very thin in shape, are not equipped with wooden bridges, are always laminated, and are not fully hollow. The feedback would be much easier to tame, and there would still be plenty of sustain. I think a fully, hollow-body, laminated archtop with a tune-o-matic could fair pretty well as well, there would just need to be procedures to reduce feedback. George Benson covers the sound-holes with tape to lower his feedback levels.

Hollow body really shines at allowing a full swelling but controllable feed back but that could be the filtertrons since my other electrics are humbuckers or HSH

Well, the hollow body did have some very nice lead tones. And boy could that dude shred, same with Tosin of course.

You know what? I think they work! Since a lot of modern metal chord progressions are very similar to jazz it really seems to fit well. I like this! I could listen to it a lot.

Used to own an Ibanez Artcore, the full size hallowbody. I absolutely loved playing metal on it. That was a great guitar for just over $300

I play a Korina body guitar because it has that hollow body sound with all the sustain of a solid body. It adds to the lower mid-range girth without flabby lows.

i decided on getting a bc rich "the dagger" semi hollow body guitar. i'll be getting it in a few days .

is it just me or is the guitar basically inaudible in the mix apart from the solo

Metal mixing is mostly Drums and lead guitar Rythm and bass are mixed together, for the most part. Not how I approach it but that's the common ground.

The Nuge made his Gibson Byrdland hollow body sound like a hard rockin' monster in his 70's era prime. Still does, actually.

Loved the lead of the second one

I liked both tones, the second was especially unique. The first was tight, yet full, and had an amazingly clear sound. The second was darker and cleaner sounding, but still pulled through and managed to sound excellent in the overall mix.

For anyone who doesn't wanna hear him talk anymore, the actual guitar playing starts at 3:29

Oh man, i love that muddy thick sound comming out of the Hollow Body, love some QOTSA like Stoner tone with Hollow Body and some overdrive/fuzz

I liked both guitars! Putting them into a professional mix really brought out their tones and over-all tonal qualities to the tracks as well. Having a guitarist who could play both styles of guitar really well, of course, made them both sound great. 🤘🏻

The 7 string did really well. The jazz… let's not talk about that one…

The song didn't really show how these could be that useful. It was a major song, and I mean nothing really sounds metal when it's major. The riff was just kind of mellow, but the drums were doing a crazy metal beat. Not to mention, that solo was kind of weird and not fitting with the song also. I don't know... I can't be the only one who was confused with the track.

Tfw the minor scale is just the major scale starting on the 6th note. It doesn't matter what scale you use, it's what you do with it.

>minor scale is just the major scale starting on the 6th note Not exactly the way you think it but i get your point Try to play both type of chord/arpeggio/mode on the same tonic and you'll figure out the rest if you really know a bit of theory

King Blossom guitars is about 45 minutes from my house! Awesome guitars. He painted my favorite guitar!

Would have loved to see one that's equipped with some filtertrons like a Gretsch. Their clarity is unmatched and they are hum-cancelling so they can be pushed harder before an amp without getting a buzzy mess from the tiniest light bulb

not for me.

Shit biscuit

I had a washburn semi hollow. a lot like the lucile bb king played. it was so awesome for heavy metal! i wish i never sold it but kids before guitars happens from time to time.

I have a telecaster hollow-body and it fits really well imo

"Young people metal" is awefull.. I just turned rap fan from this video.

Who gives a rip, man? The dude can play! What do you gain from criticizing someone's looks, whom no one can control? Metal was never a beauty pageant.

Ever since I heard the first Rush album I have been sold on how great a hollow body can work with distortion.

Liked them both
