  • Let’s take a journey into the dark realm of getting unique sounds out of your guitar without pedals or processing! It will be weird! But fun! Like visiting the Upside Down minus the Demigorgon. Let’s go!
    A brief bit of personal history: back when I was 13 or 14 years old and a budding guitar obsessive, I attended the National Guitar Summer Workshop in New Milford, CT. One of the “dorm dad’s” was a gentleman named Brady Sharp, who completely blew my mind during a jam session in the TV room of the building we were staying in. It was the first time I’d ever seen someone go at a guitar with all these implements. It left quite an impact on me. Thanks, Brady!

    This is actually a good instructional video of the different types of sounds that can come out of an electric guitar. There are a lot of hidden sounds. There is even a keyboard in it. You can find it in Queens Another One Bites The Dust. Watch the video, two guitars, a drummer and Freddie Mercury. See any keyboards on the stage? All music is experimental. A violin is a fiddle with a different attitude. So is the evolution of all music. Have fun with your new found toys.

    " and a little spring reverb,( GFY's)- because I like it".
    Right on.
    Been working these techniques since the mid 80's, - much to a few bandmates occasional chagrin,- and I remember well when I learned Sonic Youth used similar ideas, but then, NYC was full of " alternative" guitarists back then, like Glen Branca and Eliott Sharp.
    Don't overlook basses, short and long scale, or acoustics, either.
    Warren Ellis, from the Bad Seeds and Dirty Three, is a great jump off from standard string abuse, a ground breaker in both Ambient and Noise Rock.And other music that escapes categorization.
    Before they were co opted by so called Shoegaze, innate design qualities( and low cost) were the reason Jags and Jazzmasters were popular,- the TOM bridge & wack vibratos, namely.
    Good content; hope to see more.
    [Johnny Cash used a strip note paper in place of the string to get a percussive effect, way, way, back.]

    The first sound effect sounds similar to a sitar at certain points. You can rake your pick across the strings behind the nut on some guitars, and if you use the tempo of the phyco movie sound during the famous knife/shower scene, it will sound similar. All of that being said, I just have to try the aligator clip trick! That looks like fun!
