@@semafiore4109 ...? experimental means seeking new sounds and ideas that is different from what is considered to be the norm. its literally in the name lol what you're thinking of is improvisation

1:25 sounds like a shamisen & koto marriage (2 Japanese instruments), and is exactly the sound I've been trying to find a pedal for! Tried it out myself, and it sounds absolutely amazing. THANK YOU for that protip, man.

So glad you are digging it!

I actually have a junker acoustic that has a cracked neck, removed the frets, took off the A and D strings, and you can get some great sounds out of it.

I am absolutely in love with a bands such as GY!BE, Natural Snow Buildings, Mogwai, Sonic Youth and so on. And this video is really inspiring for me, it shows that everyone can create such beautiful music if you use a bit of imagination, when playing your instrument.

Dan: "it sounds herendous when you turn the volume up" *turns volume up* Me: *Vibes*

I one time used a one euro coin and slid underneath the A string and above the E and D, I remember it created a synth like sound

I just paired some of his techniques (good stuff, my guy!) With a Data Corrupter from eqd. Jesus Christ. What a tripp

Great approaches Dan... I really love it when people create their own original and experimental music...

This is actually a good instructional video of the different types of sounds that can come out of an electric guitar. There are a lot of hidden sounds. There is even a keyboard in it. You can find it in Queens Another One Bites The Dust. Watch the video, two guitars, a drummer and Freddie Mercury. See any keyboards on the stage? All music is experimental. A violin is a fiddle with a different attitude. So is the evolution of all music. Have fun with your new found toys.

the best and only video on this topic... 10/10

"A whole lot of fun for not that much money ". That's pretty punk rock. I saw Fred Frith in San Francisco with a similar experience. BTW That's a good thing.

Thanks Dan. Too much fun!

Man, I really want you to thank you for that amazing content. That's really something I've be waiting for a long time. I'm planning to make a Bizarre Guitar Sounds page to experiment everything and your tutorial made my day!

Thank you for sharing these techniques with us!

amazing sounds, thanks for the tips.

Love these treatments of the guitar! Opens many creative doors - thank for this! :-) Reminds me of Jon Damian's rubbertellie

Very cool! when you feel stuck, it’s stuff like this that jus makes things new again. Thanks!

The prophet of electroacoustic. Thank you for this video.

Excellent information, clearly presented. A wealth of ideas for development.

A little bit I study things like this. Your video is really, really great.

Thanks for the inspiration!

What an amazing approach! I think most people generally go to pedals for noise rock, so it's really cool to see some creative techniques at source!

the alligator clip idea is brilliant I have to try it.

I really like the first one. I tried it out and I think I'll have to use it for something

Great! Loved it. Thank you

" and a little spring reverb,( GFY's)- because I like it". Right on. Been working these techniques since the mid 80's, - much to a few bandmates occasional chagrin,- and I remember well when I learned Sonic Youth used similar ideas, but then, NYC was full of " alternative" guitarists back then, like Glen Branca and Eliott Sharp. Don't overlook basses, short and long scale, or acoustics, either. Warren Ellis, from the Bad Seeds and Dirty Three, is a great jump off from standard string abuse, a ground breaker in both Ambient and Noise Rock.And other music that escapes categorization. Before they were co opted by so called Shoegaze, innate design qualities( and low cost) were the reason Jags and Jazzmasters were popular,- the TOM bridge & wack vibratos, namely. Good content; hope to see more. [Johnny Cash used a strip note paper in place of the string to get a percussive effect, way, way, back.]

Shoving a stick behind the strings was getting old, the alligator clip sound was especially cool :D

Gold guitars with finish checking look so badass

Underappreciated video

cool vid! immediately want to try all of these, but with distortion! ha!

This is amazing, I'm actually trying this with my acoustic guitar, found some sounds, but when I get an electric I'm going to try everything I can

I love your choice of guitars and inspirational technique. Geesh, how do you afford several $4k guitars?!? amazing stuff, Dan

The first sound effect sounds similar to a sitar at certain points. You can rake your pick across the strings behind the nut on some guitars, and if you use the tempo of the phyco movie sound during the famous knife/shower scene, it will sound similar. All of that being said, I just have to try the aligator clip trick! That looks like fun!

Dan, 2:19 is quite amazing. grew up listening to this. Really good.

This is just the video I needed. I've always been more fascinating and intrigued by sounds you could get out of a guitar like this. Not shreddy crap. I so fucking appreciate this. Subscribed. Maybe you can do one using a DD7 or other delay? Keep up the good work.

Hello Dan! Amazing..... Thanks for sharing these gems. I think the beginning of "Go" from Pearl Jam's VS uses this technique... Do you think that mythical 12-string guitar at the end of Jeremy also uses this technique?

Awesome guitar

Keep going. Soon you will reach enlightenment.

To get most of the sounds here and even more, I would use a ring modulator effect. You have more options using a ring mod because you don't have to prepare stuff and find sweet spots where these additional things would work, and the tone will be clean.
