- In this video I explain several approaches to Shoegaze style strumming using a tremolo bar. I explain my technique and what works for me, as well as what I see out of Kevin Shield's (My Bloody Valentine) technique.

As a long time shoegaze fan (10 years or so) I’ve been loving all of the shoegaze content 🙌
Besides technique, strumming on a JAZZMASTER is another must lol
Works for Jaguar too!
Yeah but only because of the mechanics of playing. People get so caught up in gear they forget that at the end of the day the sound is all that really matters! I've gotten a more accurate sound from a cheap Fender copy and some inexpensive plugins than a lot of people I've seen on RUclips with their Jazzmasters and keeley electronics pedals. I find that it's best to go into these things with the mindset of: that's a cool sound, but I wonder what that pedal is actually doing to the signal to make it sound that way, and if you understand that you can recreate almost any sound quite inexpensively. All too many people think they need to buy that shiny new pedal to get the sound they want, and it's like no, don't buy into that corporate bullshit, it's all smokes and mirrors. DIY is where it's at imo and is the very attitude of punk! xD

@@pedroberoes49 Dom is 100% correct.
So it doesnt work on say a Squier Cyclone that has a Strat-style trem system?
Probably the best explanation on Glide technique that I've seen so far! Amazing content, Trevor 🎸👍
Thank you so much for all the shoegaze vids!! I learn so much from you!
*WOOO!!! This is such a banger of a video omg nice one Trevor!!
Strumming pattern reminds me of What You Want, which is my #1 favorite MBV song!
Thought the chord changes were "Loomer" for a minute
very helpful tutorial thank you, have been wanting to learn this technique for a while!
This is such an interesting technique!
For sure! Such a creative way to use the bar
Kevin Shields is a genius!
Great little lesson!
This is awesome bro🤘🔥
excellent explanation!! thanks a lot!
Thanks ❤️
ohh lol, I was trying to mimic this from one of your first shoegaze videos but I was gripping the bar with my entire hand instead of just using my palm and it sounded awful, thanks for explaining!
great video! tysm
It does help the Jazzmaster is one of the most distinct sounding electric guitars ever designed. Such a cool instrument.
Love your stuff! Would it be possible for you to do a video exploring and explaining EABEBE tuning? It's a fantastic sounding tuning that has a lot of richness and resonance and i would to see you crack it open and explain it with the kind of detail you're known for
thanks!
you should do shoegaze chords in c standard
Yes!
please
They're the same as E standard . Standard tunings have no effect on pitch not shape
Sounds great. Wish my Squier Mustang had a tremelo bar now...😮
ur great!
No idea how I’m here so early but I’ve been waiting for some more Trevor content, lets go
Early indeed!
I was introduced to shoegaze a few months ago and it has become my favorite genre of music ever! I bought a Jazzmaster and have been learning guitar for two months now. Your content is the best on RUclips. Thanks Trevor!!!!!
Which amp or pedals should I get to replicate the sound your guitar makes? I love it!
There's tons of boutique pedals out there that are good for shoegaze, often made with that in mind, as well as the old faithfuls. I'd recommend a distortion, a fuzz, and a delay as the minimum, with good-to-haves being chorus, tremolo, reverb, compression, some kind of volume/wah/pitch-shifter and/or octave, and i guess some other distortion why not. Lots of good options out there for all of these categories.
Everything from massive marshall stacks to fender supersonics have been used for shoegaze and shoegaze-adjacent stuff; imo it's more about getting the pedals to work for you and within the amp's abilities. But the vox ac30, or even 15, is a good choice...a benefit being that even if you decide to switch to a lot of other genres it'll still be one of the best choices.
edit - the (v good) whammy bar style he's demonstrating in the video is doing a lot of the work in creating that sound i think you mean...it does take some time to figure out your own style for doing it, but it wouldn't be a terrible idea to just turn up your amp's gain and reverb and work on your own version of whammy bar strumming before you go buying a whole bunch of gear.
A cheap rat pedal and a delay. Use the reverb on the amp for now. You don’t need $10k in pedals to learn to play. Don’t listen to these guys, they obsess over gear.
love this channel so much bro
Any chance you’d be willing to share what amp/pedal/mics you were using for the demonstration at the end of the video?
great explanation I'll have to try this out
What's your pedal chain for this? Sounds lush!
how did you get this tone? any pedals? or is it all from software?
I apreciate you using a squier instead of a fender, you dont see many squiers on RUclips but it sounds very good.
Please do a vid on drop tuning C/D
Which Squier Jazzmaster is that? Do you like it?
Thanks, now I can glide glidestrum on my Jaguar
Do you have a PDF of the song you play at the end in TAB? Unable to find it on your patreon--thank you!
Hi, could you specify what amp and mic you use for your recording process?
this is the vibrato police
If I only had a tremolo :'(
thank u for this! how do u feel about the squier jazzmaster overall? im considering purchasing as i dont have "fender money" lol
it’s good! I have the squire CV Jaguar not the JM but I LOVE IT
No problem! I think it's a great guitar
I've had one before with a really weird buzzing on the rhythm circuit. My current ones pickup selector sometimes doesnt work normally. It sound great and plays great, action is slightly high, but its still more than playable. Tinker around with one at a store instead of buying online. Cause squiers can have some quality control problems, but most I've played are pretty damn good. My squier affinity jaguar bass (which I compared with a bunch of fenders and squires at the store) somehow played better than anything else. Of course, I cant say that for every squier I've played, but you can always luck out and find something you'll keep forever.
is possible to do this with a stratocaster?
Is that just the stock tremolo arm? Is it a locking avri trem?
Have you ever had an issue with your tremolo bar squeaking as you strum in this fashion? As mine moves up and down, I can hear an audible squeaking sound. If you’ve encountered this, how did you resolve it?
Lube
Was that honey power @ 4:58
He has a way longer custom tremolo bar though fyi, that's the biggest thing.
3:00
Jeff Beck did this in the 90s low
Are those jumbo frets? They look so big.
I think they are
it's called gliding
bridge pickup shoegaze? yucky
Almost all of Kevin Shields' guitar parts are with the bridge pickup.
I thought this was about machine gun kelly bloody valentine
no comment has ever made me as sad as this one and i've read countless stories of people going through immeasurable trauma in comment sections
I grieve for your music taste
@@venoreal4686 Did you guys listen to mgk bloody valentine? it's way better than this band
troll
@@cheepcheep2204 yeah man, every time I listen to mgk it makes me just wanna cry it’s just that good i think
Too much talk. Play already!
