+Alex Tesno _"I’d take the cheapest PRS over a top of the line Gibson."_ My PRS SE 245 Bernie Marsden, which I bought brand new for $400 (local Guitar Center had it heavily marked down for some reason) easily bests every sub-$2000 Gibson I have ever played, and bests many of the more higher-end Gibsons I've played. The flame on the top is stunning, and the bound body and neck is something you don't see on a Gibson unless you pony up the big bucks. It tuning stability is rock-solid. The stock pickups match anything coming out of the Gibson factory. The QC is stellar. And it doesn't have that ridiculous neck angle which breaks if you just look at a Gibson the wrong way. It wasn't that long ago when you could buy a Gibson Les Paul for $600 brand new, and get a great-playing guitar. Sure, it didn't have the flame maple top, the binding, or any of the other cosmetic niceties. But you got a solid workhorse, made in the United States, without having to take out a second mortgage. Now the same model, but with worse quality control, costs $1,000. It's a shame.

Great video. You can pretty much make any guitar sound heavy if you know what you're doing, with certain caveats. Swap out the stock Gibson pickups for some Duncan's and you're halfway there already. Outrageous prices aside I think one reason you don't see LPs that often in metal is they don't come with a trem (except those nasty neon models, or Alex Lifeson's model) and the short scale length. 24.75 is just that much less to work with if you want to tune lower than standard pitch and still get a clear tone. Subtle difference but it's there. I've had a LP custom for almost 20 years and every time I see someone playing metal on one I can't help but smile

Hi Glen! I know this question doesn't belong on this particular video, but in several videos you've talked about briefly how you use triggers to open and close a gate for your snares, and sometimes on the other drums as well. I'm curious if you are interested in doing a video on what your Hardware is for that, including your controller and your settings? I am relatively new to recording, and do prefer live drums over samples or electric drums like the V drums. I like the idea of using triggers to control bleed and I'm curious about your particular set up.

At 49 years old, I enjoyed this very much. I sure miss my 1976 Les Paul Deluxe Sunburst with those exclusive smaller humbuckers. That guitar was smokin' hot, I tell ya what!😊👍

To me, it makes sense to have a three-piece band. ESP from a touring stand-point, granted you'll be playing in pubs/bars/taverns that're really cramped for stage space 95% of the time (IDK what your pubs are like in the U.S.A, but the pubs here in New Zealand have not that much stage space & a four-piece band looks like thar packed in like a tin of sardines, much less a five, or a six-piece band... yikes!). Also, in my opinion, "less is more" rings very true in music & I think I can do a lot more with a three-piece band than what I could do with the usual four or five-piece bands.

Just curious. If the band has two guitar players, one of them is not all that talented and the other is very talented, do you track only the talented guitar player and let the second one only track his lead parts (if he has them) or track both of them and let the band deal with the finished product? I'm not professional at all at this subject but I'm really curious about it

@royalcat10

6 жыл бұрын

Not a professional, but from my personal experience, that would just entirely depend on the goal you're going for with the recording. If you plan on playing a lot of live shows, then you would probably track both guitarists and deal with the finished product. Why? Because the crowd would just think you guys suck because you can't play as good as it sounds on the recording (Within reason, of course.) So tracking both guitarists would give a more accurate representation as to what the crowd would expect to hear. If you don't plan on having a lot of live shows, then I guess it really doesn't matter all too much because there will be no audience to tell the difference of which guitarist recorded it. But then I guess that brings the question as to why you would have multiple guitarists in the first place, or even just writing parts too difficult for the less talented player to play cleanly, seeing as one of them is incapable of pulling his own weight. I think the best solution here is to tell the less talented player to get to work and practice.

Mr. Moseby Soundgarden. Metal a la Black Sabbath throw back groove

Adam Jones man! swears by his LP custom with JB's and he has one of the most refined, iconic metal riffing tones imo.

I've owned a few Les Pauls, but I am mainly a Fender guy. These day I will use Korean PRS-SE Single Cuts. The are a bit more sturdy, and stay in tune a lot better. Yes I wish I still had my 1983 Sunburst Les Paul Standard for the collector's value, but I actually prefer my PRS Bernie Marsden as a guitar. I wanted a Les Paul Jr. a few years ago, but played a Korina PRS-SE One, and wound up with one of those instead.
