Doesn't matter if it's a rocking tune or a slow, moody ballad, because when you hear those shredding pentatonic licks and pinch harmonics, you instantly recognize Zakk's tone. It's that unmistakable!

No we don't know Zakk.

he is such a egotistical asshole , like simmons

Daaaaaayyyyyyyummmmm! This setup is dope as hell. I'm converting the back of a box truck into a pro studio... space is an issue, but hopefully I can still pull off something as epic as this! Thx for the vid 🤘

Most iconic EMG Artist

Ya know

BOOM!

why only pentatonic patterns .-.

Zakk Wylde does, because he's Zakk Wylde, nuff said.

Rob never ages, he eats Kimchi every day......

I like the sound of blackouts a little better, they both are great pickups for metal, but emg also makes pretty awesome non active pickups

Go home boy.....

new religion - black label society

What's the song playing from 2:00 to 2:15?

I haven't tried EMGs myself... Ya, most metal guitarists use EMGs... But guitarists like Mr. David Gilmour contradict your point...

you need to shut your mouth kid. and if you thank he sucks so bad then why the fuck you looking at hes video

I can't think of anyone who is known for having good tone that uses EMG's. It's almost entirely modern metal guitarists, some of whom get great modern metal tones, but that's all they want is a constant compressed high output tone. Zakk Wylde is the only guitarist I can think of that some consider a "guitar god" that uses EMG's, but his tone is very meh. It's not terrible but it's just as much gain as possible and nonstop squeals and fast scales. Perfect for EMG's. Bastardizes the LP's tone tho

If you have a shit guitar, EMG's will make it sound better. If you have an outstanding guitar, like a Custom Suhr, EMG's will make it sound marginally better than that shit guitar. They make everything sound very similar. Tons of output and compression and they do sound big and punchy, but they're pretty much only good for compressed high gain. You'll hardly be able to tell the difference between a guitar with crap construction and a guitar with high end tone woods. And you can forget dynamics.

damb i missed that!!!!!!

Song at the very begining?

Jim Root would.

You only really notice the benefit of active pickups through a valve amp anyway, through solid state its impossible to notice the difference and true benefit through a solid state amp :) the way valves work with te tone is completely different full stop lol

Someone who wants a Jaguar to actually sound good.

Preston was actualy the best one :P

who produced this video...hmmmm EMG.......thats good, because I thought for a second IT MIGHT BE A FUCKING COMMERCIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, he has put on a bit of weight

eh well to each their own

it's funny because as soon as you play a copyrighted song and put it on youtube, youtube goes all copyright nazi on you. Sometimes they even mute your videos, or delete them altogether... So technically if you take part in the shred challenge and play a Zakk Wylde song, you'll basically be violating copyright laws, according to youtube... lol So fuck copyrights!!! and rock on!

Ok sorry... EMG's arn't for metal and god like tone's some emg's for strats and tele's have very good cleans and twang to them plus noiseless so they can be good for blue's and country. It's not really a law there are some rule's you can choose to obey when it come's to pick up's it all depends on what you want if you want take emg's bareknuckle or dimarzio whatever thinking outside the box's become's difficult when you have put yourself in a box's.

way to disregard my comment that it "just messes with everything i've been raised with" i was raised to have a set of pickups that compliment the guitar's make of wood and resonance. Not everything needs a battery powered humbucker in it to sound "godly"

(Yes thank you im so stupid i couldn't tell which body shape is which in the fender range) *Sarcasm" Jim root has had fender custom shop make him a Jaguar to the same spec as his strat's and tele's there are video's of his rig and him showing this off.

that's a telecaster and a stratocaster but i see your point but i don't think it fits. just messes with everything i've been raised with

Same with me to man! My friend got EMG ZW pickups and first time when i played with them i was like ''Whoa man... This is so clean and nice and HEAVY!''. Now i try to do everything so i can get those emg pickups!

Jim root...

that dude could make kite string and cardboard sound good

f****** right! emg kicks ass!!!

and in Jaguars

Stillborn. off the Blessed Hellride album.

What the fuck, Gaku should of won!

I am assuming that is his way of showing great respect.

"Stillborn". That song is off of the "The Blessed Hell Ride" album.

That´s is the first time, when the asian have lost...

Black Label Society - "Stillborn"

he's really fat here..

he also has a custom jaguar with emgs

who cares that someone would want to put emgs in a jaguar? blows my mind...

@alxdd2 he puts emgs in telecaster

Are Zakks EMG's like Hotter sounding than a regular 85/81? (The Zakk set is the only EMG set i have)
