Misha is the mastermind behind the wall of sound that is the band Periphery, a signature artist of Jackson guitars and BareKnuckle pickups, the founder of the excellent Get Good Drums software, and an avid sports car enthusiast. Misha is also the founder of Horizon Devices, a company featuring some truly spectacular guitar pedals like the Apex PreAmp and Flux Echo, and now, most recently, they’re making guitar strings.

Misha is probably the most ideal guitar player in my eyes. Dude runs multiple companies and gets hella bread from them, is a signature artist of the best pickups ever made (don't @ me), and has pretty good guitars. It's not like I'm biased because I live in the same city he does. Nope. Not at all.

No talent whatsoever, and he has always come across as entitled and smug. There are probably thousands of talented guitarists with KZread channels who get very little recognition. It sucks. Tyler is a bell-end.

This was a super cool get together..it was nice to hear what Misha's take was on so many different aspects of the musical processes. As well, the questions you asked were of great relevance and I really appreciated the time you put into that process. I think if I get that Horizon Devices Precision Drive pedal, I will finally sound like Misha.

Awesome podcast dude! I am looking forward to the next one!

These guests you have are really incredible. I love this series!

50:42 "Get Good Hands", The pluggin that emulates the hands of the guitar greats. You can already virtually select your amp head, cab, mic (+placement), effects, pick up type. Now capture the magic of the actual source of tone! *this was Inspired by Fry getting the Robot Devil's hands. Also, great episode of Guitar Villains!

When you played and spoke with Victor Wooten on music theory, he had the same concept but said it along the lines of; "Theory is your tool box, you don't drive around with it, you use it when you need it and leave it in the trunk." Seems to be a common theme among my favorite musicians.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 this was so great. You seriously do your preparation and are well thought out. Very entertaining to see Misha's reaction to your Questions you definitely impress him haha.

Tonewood does exist but it doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of tonewood tests on the internet for you to try your luck at. You’ll hear a very subtle difference, but VERY subtle, even for woods on the opposite ends of the spectrum.

I feel like Drew and/or Mark from Karnivool would be sick on this. Drew has an incredible villain beard, and Mark looks like a mad scientist, plus there's so few interviews with them that really discuss anything other than gear or their latest album at the time. I'm all for that talk but at the same time it'd be nice to see a deep dive into them as musicians.

Loved the episode

Just found this podcast, great now I'm hooked...

Very cool concept.

Love Misha's honesty and humility - so refreshing from someone so very talented (even if he does not think so)

Damn! This podcast is out of this world!

Super cool idea for a video

"Problem solving" great take on theory, love that POV Misha

Really enjoyed watching/listening to this and the Tim Henson video. Great series, much cooler than other podcast style guitar related content🤘🏻🔥

Respect to these guys, their contribution to djent for to what they're doing, but if anyone has pioneered djent it's single-handedly Meshuggah, and 25 years ago. No one comes close, and there's never been a more clear-cut line on who invented a subgenre like there could be with other subgenres.

Yup, 💯. Lot of misnomers; “Founder of djent/ggd/periphery/ad nauseam”. Let’s completely ignore Mark Holcomb and Nolly and their contributions to everything to do with Periphery in and outside of the band. Tyler’s hubris has gotten to the point of being annoying.

Dope podcast . Actually content and info too 👌 Misha is top 20 globally on guitar . He's one of this generations guitar heroes(villains) for sure

I am so mad you didnt give him a chance to say what Villian he thought he was!!!!!

Probably just me, but...Music is win, I've been subscribed for some time, and never been a huge fan. Well, things get better with time. New to me, This Guitar Villians format is awesome. You are a well thought out, great interviewer. This was a great show. I will be tuning in again for sure.

I loved this!

I like where this is headed and love your channel. Occasionally I feel like your moving on to the next question or segment too fast and leaving some good stuff on the table. As you do more interviews I bet you will relax and improvise a little more. Pulling the best guests that's for sure :)

Finally someone who mirrors my thoughts exactly. It may not even matter to play guitar left or right handed. You're learning so many new motions, simply having hand dominance may not accelerate your learning or benefit it you anyway at all. It would make an interesting study.

The answer Misha gave to the last question is so good!

Nice to hear the mention of left/right handed playing. I am a lefty and I've played left handed for 20 something years and last week, I decided to get a cheap right handed Jackson to teach myself to play right handed. Doing pretty good so far but I tell you, if I wasn't crazy, I'd have given up already. My reason is I'm tired of being upset that no guitar I actually want, besides a Schecter Banshee Mach 6/7, is made in a lefty. I want an orange Misha Mansoor Juggernaut, a John Petrucci Majesty, a Strandberg Boden Prog (in Earth Green, looks awesome). I love this program, man!

Ever since I learned a few of the tunes off of Hail Stan, ACGFAD has been my go to tuning💯💯. Sometimes I’ll even drop the 5th string from C to D or E for a little extra razzle dazzle

From AGCFAD, tune the strings down one semitone and you’re using the same tuning as Architects. Those weird octave tunings are insane amounts of fun and the riffs that can come from them are a blast.

Effectively a German car... glad you confirmed he meant a Lamborghini... this gives Misha cool points in my book for thinking like that!

I own Bareknuckle Pickups' Juggernaut set and Aftermath set, both used by Misha. I couldn't ask for anything better. Juggernauts can do almost anything and Aftermaths are perfect for metal and you only run into limitations with it on the very low end frequencies. And the best overdrive pedal I have ever tried is the Precision Drive. It even has a perfectly integrated noise gate in the pedal. I'm convinced everything Misha touches with guitar gear is gold. Haven't tried the preamp yet but trust it's worth it.

I bet the Tosin interview is coming soon. Would also really love to see an interview with Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert.

love the shirt bro… 🤘🏼
