Jason Pilling Music - Behind the Scenes
Jason Pilling Music - Behind the Scenes
Jason Pilling makes original indie-folk music and this channel is all about the surrounding ecosystem to make songs. If you want to get started making songs, there's probably something for you here. Because sometimes the best person to show you how is the one who's just been through it. Someone that started making music in the 80's may have a lot of production credits, but they haven't faced the same problem as you with the same technology choices.
Also, I'm a instrument builder. I mostly make the instruments because I want expressive things to record with. But along the way I've gotten pretty good at modifying, maintaining, fixing, and building guitars. So I also show how I do that.
I organize parts of the channel into playlists of similar topics, e.g. instrument making, home studio building, original music making.

What would you do if you have not recorded to click at the start?
It works about the same...the beginning click only helps you start each take at a consistent tempo. But it's optional...you don't need it.
Amazing! True talent and dedication. The musical accompanyment was really cool too. Nice tunes.
Muito bom! Sem enrolação e comparando rapidamente o som de um com o outro, oque ajuda muito!
This music is makes when I go to the beach
Your awesome I’m glad I just found your channel can’t wait to see more
Welcome aboard!
How good is the ac15ch attenuation
don't know? I don't have the model with an attenuator.
great build, liked the no talk part. only thing wrong is is a bass guitar ;)
Thank you. I've done stuff like this on my guitars, but didn't know how to access the jack. Great trick!
👏👏👏
What type of glue was he using? Watered down tidebind wood glue?
Titebond, not watered down...but I agree it sort of looks that way. I'm guessing it was just a fresh bottle and we forget how runny it is when it's a new bottle?
Hey Jason, I recently launched a masterclass on music business, specifically on how to virtually sell music online in creative ways. It focuses on how to build direct, recurring sales as well as getting your listeners to invest in you as an artist.. It’s free because I’m a youtuber and love to educate and help artists to go full time in the music industry, and there’s also an offer at the end to learn with me on a close basis and get the entire system plus some bonuses for a couple hundred bucks. I think you’ll love the value in the free class. Would you mind if I send it over?
Hi , should I use bone or bronze ?
I think you mean brass? But the answer is the same...that up to you. Either are hard enough to be good functionally. The choice is aesthetic after that.
Thanks for the info! Really helpful.
More mud
Does this work the same on a electric guitar
basically, yes.
Our acoustic guitar literally just fell over. It was on the stand and it fell flat. You can imagine my expression. Now, I apologize if you stated this in the video, what kind of clamps should I buy?
It depends where the break is exactly what will work. I used just regular C-clamps and a big rubber band (i.e. surgical tubing).
@@jasonpillingmusic thank you so much. We'll give it a try. Your Video was probably one of the best that we've seen. If you're in North America, hope you enjoyed the eclipse.
The way you blink and super jump cut makes you look like cgi 😈
Thanks for sharing! A lot of work went into making that guitar! It would have been nice to see and hear you play the guitar too. 👍
Thanks! I figured it would appear somewhere when I had the right song for it and I'd link that.
brother my problem is almost this exactly, i have a crack going down the headstock as longways similar to that, but the crack only seems visible when its under full tension and i cant quite fit a needle in there, thought its enough to detune the guitar when i play.
That's tough...you need a glue thin enough to get in deep. I honestly don't know how I'd approach that.
So sick🤟
That Art Deco style is genius I must say. It remembers native indian style too. And you couldnt go wrong with the Golden ratio. Giving the shapes different levels is genius! The head is just gorgeous, as is the neckboard design! The PU plate is quite off style IMO. You created a stunningly beautiful, unique piece of gear! I'd even dare to say that this is a perfect, classic design, just like a strat or a tele. You really nailed it. I d buy it right away if I saw it in a store. You may have something successful here... that headstock only is patent material! Cheers!
Thanks...I'm liking there being just one in the world for now.
Love to hear it
Thanks. I'll do a video of the full build with a sound demo in a few weeks...but I'd say it sounds roughly like a traditional Tele in the middle position? The P90 has some bite, but not full Tele bridge level.
That's a interesting tele
Thanks cuz im so confused how this certain mechanics work im new to guitar
Many thanks appreciate this thorough review. 😊

Can We get an Animato Sound from it?
The strangest thing about this demo to me is that the Fender sounded mids-forward and the Marshall sounded more scooped, which is the opposite of what I’d expect.
Hi!! What gue did you use?
Hi. Titebond specifically. But Lepage, Gorilla, Elmer's yellow carpenter glue are all fine too.
Thank you so much!
trying to find this song so bad 😭😭
This is the rock version. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a5ab0c-hddfag8Y.htmlsi=CGDPUXiuDgcANNAb the Acoustic version I was recording there comes out Spring 2024.
Roller nut!
Just got a left handed bone nut for a guitar im converting for my little brother
Thank you!
I was surprised by the Marshall’s clean tones, very full! I’m torn between it and the fender, but leaning toward the Fender because of the cab sim and line out for recording. Of the two, which has the least noise? I just returned a Vox Cambridge 50 due to a really loud annoying hiss even with nothing plugged in.
The Fender's cab sim out is very useful. I use it for recording all the time, and I've used it live too. Fender has got to be the quietest....I think it just doesn't have the internal electronics to pick up the EM waves floating around and make noise. Good luck!
Actually, a nut made of bone always loses against a compensated nut which is made of - you know it: plastic.
This patch bay is really good for converters that have all their inputs in back. This thing lets you have all your inputs on the front and it works great for patching in preamps. As you point out, the main advantage here is having something that is always balanced, without question, and no worries about phantom power.
Good video.. contemplating buying one
Go for it! It's the only distortion pedal I own...I'm usually a amp gain guy, but this is the extra boost if needed.
@@jasonpillingmusic cheers
Thats heavy distortion
Thats a tusq xl nut in the guitar. That isnt plastic. Graphtech makes excellent nuts.
Agree...I've upgraded to Graphtec saddles and nuts more than once. The picture was just to clarify what the nut was. I don't have any cheap gooey white plastic nuts on my guitars to show a picture of. But I suppose an unbranded one might have been a better choice...
This is incorrect, nylon nuts are fine. What’s more important is that it’s cut correctly.
Some plastics are OK. Some are not. There are lots of kinds of plastic nuts out there.
So should the string sit at .44mm off the first fret?
actually that was 0.04mm, not 0.44mm. But no, there is no universal measurement target. The gap should be more than zero, but very small is the principle. But it depends on your specific instrument and playing style. You have to dial it in to find what works, and nuts are commonly cut high at the factory because they would rather err on that side than too low. Note that I'm pressing down on the third fret. So the gap is actually created by the curvature ("relief") of the neck, which is created by the tension of the strings.
I really appreciate your candidness in this review. Very well done. Have you ever considered putting acoustic strings on it? 60 cycle hum channel did it on a Grote P-90 and it sounded good.
thanks! I guess you just did cause me to consider acoustic strings...I hadn't before :)
Cool! I will be waiting to hear back from you on your opinion.
When playing sitting on a chair everything is fine. But when standing on stage with a strap, the neck/head constantly tilts down and you have to correct with your left hand. What a bad design!
I agree...there are definitely other design choices that could have improved the neck dive.
How does a natural finish eliminate the need for a pick guard? 4:35 Btw. Paulownia is a really lightweight wood that could be used for the body.
True. Paint would be fine too...I was referring more to choosing an aesthetic that doesn't rely on a pickguard. My intent was more to say "in this case" by using a natural finish. You could also aggressively chamber underneath a pickguard to compensate. I haven't tried Paulownia....if I see any next time I'm at the lumberyard, I'll check it out - thanks!
@@jasonpillingmusic thank you
You sound like an American Paul mccartney
Thanks...I'm Canadian :)
what about TUSQ
TUSQ is great. I'd choose TUSQ if I wanted a pre-cut. Bone is a much cheaper blank if you need a custom cut.
Beautiful! Thank you for condensing weeks of your life down so I could get the 15-minute version.
I was thinking of doing the 1 minute version of just the "money shots".
That’s some badass carpentry 2. And clever (if intensively laborious) way to market those fine tunes. 🫡
don't reveal the secret plan! (that was explicitly stated in the description)
Looks great!
Beautiful mix of wood in that bass
thanks...I don't like painting...so I have to pick nice wood :)
