Hello guitarplayers and music lovers!

Welcome to my channel. I hope you find something interesting here regarding guitars, guitarplaying and gear.

I'm just a humble amateur who loves playing the guitar and recording. I've done som recordings with bands like Fierce Conviction (later just Conviction), Zonata and Crystal Eyes.

If you want me to test something or show some licks etc, send a request so maybe I can do it. It's of course easiest with my own gear but if you want me to try something else, send a message and I'll see what I can do!

Cheers!!! :)

Guitar videos, playthroughs and some demos.

    EMG’s are the fattest and warmest… The other ones are brighter but not as hight output and fat

    EMG 81 is hands down the best for metal and live playing. Tone Zone is a great pickup too and is less tight. It’s very sensitive to circumstances I.e amp, modelling etc. It doesn’t have enough highs and too bassy so straight into a Marshall it’s ok and not as tight. But if you use it with modelling it’s perfect because modelling inherently tends to have a lot of highs.

    Damn, thanks for the wisdom…. I have a Schecter reaper 6 and a Katana 100MkII. Been thinking about the tone zone for a minute because a lot of folks say it tames the highs of a swamp ash body… considering I have a modeling amp, your comment made me feel a lot more confident about this purchase

    Hey man! Right on. Good question!? Got any experience playing a X2N or D-Activator, or any hot Humbucker with single coils for some tight metal? Testament influenced. Got a Jackson H-S-S setup but gutting it today and buying local DiMarzio single coils for Middle and neck...

    I have D-Activator in one guitar and they're quite nice. A bit to high output for my taste but pretty flat in the eq so it's easy to dial in a good sound.

    Dimarzio's are crunchier and seem to be louder in the recordings, so they seem to be over the bass and drums in the mix because of this, so they are featured more. The Seymour Duncans seem to allow the bass guitar frequencies to fill up the guitar tone due to them being a bit more scooped in the mids compared to the Dimarzio's. The SD seems to be lower in the mix a bit due to this feature or design. Emg's sound bad in my opinion, but are somewhat redeemable in a mix.

    actually, the ideas come from your music tones, and finally you will select which pickup are suits for you..mellow goes to seymour duncan and dimarzio, heavy goes to emg ...

  • @johnnyh64

    When you do the stereo clips the guitars are out of phase with each other making it sound extremely thin. I’m assuming you did the fast delay trick panned which can do that. If they were truly double tracked then I’m not so sure, but the solo guitar stereo tracks were definitely out of phase. Nice comparison though! Very helpful.

    Thanks for this. We can definitly hear about the signature of the various pick ups. then it is a matter of taste and personnally I have a preference for the di marzio sound - EMG sounds great in metal rythm - Duncan too much in the mediums for me.

  • @sguerilla6142

    The main reason why I sold my SD Dimebucker is the one you mentioned, it is too medium. I bought it even though I never liked Dime's sound live like, say, the sound of Gary Holt with SD JB (especially at the 2008 Wacken concert, maybe the best sound I've ever heard, after Cannibal Corpse, of course). Here in Serbia, SH 13 is not cheap, it costs around 160 euros new. DiMarzio SuperDistrorsion costs 100 euros new!! I only have BC Rich guitars, on the Jr V NJ Deluxe I have an EMG 81 active but it's tuned in A so it sounds great (I believe that with every pick up it sounds great in A tune hahaha)... For now, I'm going with DiMarzio, I have them on 2 guitars and they sound phenomenal.
