If you haven't heard of them King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard make some great music, and their albums KG, LW, and Flying Microtonal Banana all incorporate microtonal guitars. Really cool to see what seems to be a straight up production-level guitar with a microtonal neck

Fr, if he starts hitting the weights and grows out the front of his beard his transformation will be complete😂

The microtones make the most sense in a passing tone context. Trying to make chords is tricky but making a melody is where it shines. The different spaces between notes that you have access to makes things more spicy. Think of it like bends in a blues solo. Also, what you were playing for the MW2 theme is EXACTLY how microtones should be used. Inadvertently a perfect example!

I noticed a few people already mentioned King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard already, but they are a great source for understanding and using a microtonal guitar. They tune their guitars to C# F# C# F# B E and write riffs in that tuning. It’s featured heavily on the albums Flying Microtonal Banana, K.G and L.W. They’re great musicians besides the microtonal stuff too, can’t recommend them enough!

Yeah King Gizzard are awesome however since I am from the balkans this kind of playing isn't that strange here :D However we tune our guitars into DADDGG that way we simulate Turkish Saz more since we have 2 chours (D, G) and we play like we would play Saz low strings for drone and high strings for melody.

Even though the views are not close to your main channel I think you have a more loyal and hardcore fanbase here. Loving the uploads!

dude yes microtonals rock some other people probably already suggested checking out King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard for microtonal tunes, but I'm gonna bring them up again as they are a great example

loving the music content!!! please keep uploading on here.

KING GIZZARD, MAN THE FLYING BANANA!!!

2:39 I look away for ONE second and you play this! Awesome!

You did some really cool playing keep it up

You should watch samurai guitarist playing this guitar he uses the microtones in some interesting ways!

here is some advice for writing micotonal music. when you are writing microtonal music dont think about chord progressions just pick one chord and play around it. if you want to hear an example look up the album flying microtonal banana by King Gizzard in most of there songs in this album used this method

The guitar is pretty much a replica of the Univox Hi-Flyer Phase 4 (except with microtonal frets). It's not at all in anyway shape or form a replica, or even similar to the Kurt Cobain signature Jag-stang.

To be fair I think he was just maybe making a joke. But he probably mentioned Nirvana because Kurt Cobain did use Univox Hi-Flyer’s a lot. But him showing a Jag-Stang doesn’t make much sense to me

I would love to see a update on the guitar collection!

Confused on the nirvana guitar comparison

wait... you're m3rkmusic? I watch your stuff as a kid and now I'm watching you again as an adult lol I like your taste in guitars

phase 4, beautiful

because of you and [100 other reasons] im finally choosing to learn to play bass. im going to try and go for an ibanez mikro and a fender 40

Yep. I need one

definitely research by using channels like brendan byrnes or hear between the lines, or zhea erose, they will help you understand the way microtonal music works on the basis :D

Everyone mentions King Gizzard, but I think Massive Audio Nerve (if you dig metal) and Jon Catler (blues / world music vibes) are better examples of what you can do with microtonal guitar.

Only real ogs know that Kurt used a guitar like this to write the Bleach Album

This guitar would make some pretty interesting surf music.

nice i myself have a microtone and an 8 string multi scale cort kx508ms

okay this is kinda unrelated but PLEASE can you show us how you get your usual ibanez tone, its sounds so great

erik look up microtonal banana by king gizzard they use a microtonal guitar in their song

Yes sir

Check out the “Tone Poems” albums. Instruments played with slides and tone bars (like Dobro and pedal steel) can be played microtonally. I play Blues Dobro and I often go into microtonal country when I slide around the b3 and b7.

I commented about King Gizz on the main channel video where you mentioned this guitar when that came out but I'll mention them again here along with everyone else.

It seems pretty good for surf music, There are a lot of microtones in traditional Indian music

@moustachio334

It’s easier to learn microtonal music from just learning Indian music

So with the micro tonal frets, could you theoretically achieve just tuning on the fret board for certain keys?

Hey M3rk. Could you maybe make a video on Rocksmith. I've been using it to learn guitar and I've seen a lot of people using it on twitch to stream different songs and I think you would enjoy it a whole ton. I'm really curious what your opinion on that game is.

Turkish music uses this fret layout. Have a look at the turkish three quarter tone - half a minor third.

Do you recommend getting a guitar teacher to learn or try and self teach cause not much money?

check out king gizzard and the lizard wizard, their microtonal stuff is great.

Hi Merk!!!!

Happy 4 of July

You should do a baritone guitar next

You are such a guitar nerd but I love it

you should check out the microtonal god jacob collier, he really goes deep into the theory and pulls off microtones as if they were whole steps, sum truly amazing stuff

I opened the comment section just to see how many king gizzard related comments I could find. Literally 2nd comment in and someone mentions them

Microtonal notes don't make sense to me at all despite me studying music theory for years

Let’s take the 5th fret of your guitar on the E string, A, going up a fret (or a half step) would take you to A#, in the distance between the two notes there is 100 cents, which is just a measurement, like there is 100cm in a metre, this is the smallest possible interval (the difference between two notes) in western music (12 TET) going to other parts of the world there’s other intervals, such as the quarter tone, which would be 50 cent, so going from A (your 5th fret) would take you to A half sharp, to the untrained ear it sounds rough.

Have you ever heard a bend? That’s microtonal

Isn't this modeled after a Mosrite and not a Jagstang?

2:38 this sounds way cooler with microtones.

are the closest frets even usable ? They seem so close to each other Oo. And KGALW microtonal albums are sick as hell check them out

do a guitar collection update

Hey look, an upload

Did you say a detailed model of a Fender sumthin? I'd go Mosrite with buckers & weird af fretboard.

Middle eastern music uses a lot of micro tonal sounds!

Plz post more on here papa

Similar to the jagstang??? It’s a similar design to the mosrite ventures guitar- which kurt cobain did play. Don’t see how it looks anything like a jagstang tho lol

0:40 lmfao

Nuclear fusioooooooon

Do you use a pedalboard, or do you use digital effects?

Quick question: do you ever play guitar live in front of people

Eric has become King Gizzard :)

There is special scales you can play this. They called “Magamats”

legit the same exact one Kurt uses in the Heart shaped box music video, apart from it being microtonal of course….

Keep your root notes in the world of 12, and use the micros for scaling out or embellishments.

The new king gizzard album sounds great.

You were thinking of the Univox hi Flier not the jagstang

Listen to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They have a couple microtonal albums, one of which is named Flying Microtonal Banana

I would only think to learn microtonal functionality would be to listen to fretless guitar music or something non western like middle eastern music, or music from India where microtonal is typically normal for them

HOLY FUCK I HAVENT SEEN THIS GUY IN YEARS HOLY FUCK

For any of you guys asking, it’s in 19 TET

King gizz and the lizard wizard

Highly recommend listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard

Bro, look up King gizzard and the lizard wizard if you whant to hear some sick music with mikrotones

Damn that guitar is $999 👀

It's actually a copy of the Univox Hi Flier that kurt played

Ow lawd

Papa koo made a similar gutar on his Snapchat channels

Learn some maqams they are like modes, they are used in eastern music that has microtones.

Jazz

Play trivium pls

King Gizzard

Just playing you`re random fun noodling was sounding good enough to record and add stuff with it. Anyway, just because its a microtonal guitar, you can play it any way you want. Overall its a bit of an oddity, at least to the West. Distant countries and cultures employ those microtones in their approach to a musical scale. They can make it work only because they understand it and know how to use it correctly.
