Thanks for watching guys! Who else should I get on Guitar Chat?
Idk, Meshuggah or something
Periphery please!!
Jeff from Parkway Drive!
Dennis of Speed/Gang Called Speed. Different type of heavy but mainstay in Sydney hardcore.
I would love to hear you chat with Plini or anyone from his group. Maybe Intervals one day???? :D Great chat btw! Didn't know he did pitch shifting for their music!
Mike is the best
yep. i met him and he was amazing.
Mike is a great example of "less is more" and "serving the song" while still dishing out extremely tasty riffs. Also I know modern metal tends to sound the same but man this guy's TONE is always on point IMO.
Mike brought me back to guitar playing after a 15 year hiatus. I will forever be thankful
Facts, literally pinked up a Jackson JS22-7 DKA because of him.
He is such an innovate player to me, making typical metalcore riffs etc. really fun and exciting to hear
I swear the spiritbox guys are the nicest people in the world
I just love how Keyan goes full nerd mode with the guitars
What is morde?
@@jessewest2894 never heard of morde? Lmao
Goddamn Mike has impeccable taste in guitars
Mike's a beeeeeeast and is one of the most creative guitarists on the planet right now. I didn't realize how many different layers he adds in (especially with ambient clean tones) on every song until I got a couple of their tab books. He's also an insaaaaaanely tight player
These are great mate and they've only gotten better. Hopefully you can snag polyphia when they get to AUS
Currently working on this, thank you!
Mike has a pop punk voice haha, he’d be a great pop punk vocalist
This is the one I was waiting for! I was not expecting a jackson... I thought maybe a balaguer would appear but now I sort of have GAS for that jackson lol
I really enjoyed this and you're a GREAT interviewer, Keyan!
Mike is such a great dude! An absolute idol, I can't wait to see Spiritbox in a few months!
Thank you so much for making these videos, Keyan. Literally perfect for gear nerds like myself.
I've literally had that Jackson DK Dinky Evertune in my Sweetwater wishlist for 2 months and this really gives me confidence to buy it!
I knew they used pitch shifting, but it's so cool to hear just how it's utilized in different ways. No wonder they sound absolutely MASSIVE.
mid song octave and pitch shifting is something that makes him so unique on top of his rhythms and additional noises like scrapes, flutters, palm mutes, harmonics and etc
Mike seems like such a cool guy. Great interview Keyan.
great interview, and awesome story about mike had some original aristides guitars already. i love aristides guitars and also evertune bridges, so good!
Mike's explanation of guitar tone and feel is so dope. I think of mine the same way but that Jackson 7 string and Aristedes are sick.
Wicked this answered so many of my questions
Hell yeah! I saw their show in Melbourne! Blown away by how good they are live.
Love this series!
such a chill guy
Mike was such a good guest!
Another great guitar chat. I hope you're able to do one of these with Ethan from Thornhill one of these days. Though being based in Australia makes that more difficult.
Thornhill is an Australian band tho
@@chaadddd_ excellent point. for some reason I pictured Mike Stringer giving the interview for some reason, who is not Australian, lol.
8:38 it’s not the bass wood that makes it muddier it’s the shorter scale length and the thicker strings.
I’ve tried drop F and F# in 26.5 , 28 and 29.75 scale and the only thing that changes the sound is the scale length and being able to use lighter strings on the longer scales.
Love your music btw, not trying to troll or be mr. "Well Achtually"
it was actually funny to hear that lol, i thought mike was a lot more knowledgeable than that
@@burneraccounthandle he did mention a bit after that the Aristides were such different guitars, that they might actually sound a bit different? I don’t have 2 months salary to spend on one though so i can’t know for sure.
I use lighter strings on a 7 string at 25.5 and drop down to G. Very spanky sounding, but I’m also using alder.
Another thing to mention is that while the Aristides has no wood, they DO refer to the synthetic materials used are made to be dense and stiff but not too stiff because it affects the way the “tone material” resonates the guitar.
Finally, the Aristides and Dinky Pro Evertune are the same scale length, so they wouldn’t sound different due to that.
Spirit Box! 🔥 Rad Video 🤘🏻
Mike is a standup guy. Keyan, you're a fantastic interviewer too - very natural approach.
This series is so goated. Mike is sick
Mike is such a chill dude
Mike is such a legend!!!
I loved this!
Mike is amazing
I have an Ibanez with a push-push to split coils. Works perfectly.
Mike is such a nice guy!
What a lovely guy!
Those guitars are slick and no one needs a tone knob in 2023, agreed.
Saw them yesterday in Melbourne Knotfest, man they were so damn good. Courtney was incredible.
Love my DK Modern!
Just did the same thing to my guitar with the tone and volume knob. There was a little bit of missing paint where the pot was removed. If you’re standing a few feet backyou can’t tell, but I could see it when I was playing the guitar.
For a simple fix, I took a number two gauge thin silicone flared earring and put it in there. Fixed everything in two seconds and cost me less than 5 bucks.
Jackson dk pro moderns are SO GOOD
i love mike!
Aristides Is One of my dream.
Maybe one day!
Always found his clean tones unique.
Makes sense, when everyone else in the genre is using split coils and he isn't.
So sick
LETS GOOOOOOOO
Great interview! Got a subscriber outta me 👊
Such a sweet dude
Those Aristedes guitars are truly unique - possibly one of the very best guitars you can ever play. But Keyan you live un Australia - so where is your Ormsby? Now with your status I would think you could get one; although I would imagine that you could be sponsored by Jackson - I love Jacksons as well, but I have one of those (It is truly AWESOME) so the Ormsby headless 7 string guitar is like the holy grail to me - one day I might get one if I am lucky!
And congrats on all your success over the past couple years! Truly impressive and you still seem humble - that is awesome, I hope that is true and real. I have been watching you since you started and I was even one of your Patreons for a while (financial issues have kept me from keeping up... oh well easy come easy go...) but if you ever get one to review and you wanted to send it to one of your fans I would not mind!
Def try to grab Browne from Monuments if you can! I would also love to see other content creators like Nik Noc!
The middle position on his Jackson is a single coil. If you look at the specs on that guitar, positions 2-4 are single coil. The pickups have 3 different voices that are selectable with the tone knob, so it's kind of odd he removed it (wonder if it's just defaulted into modern humbucker mode).
I'm curious about adapting to the evertune guitar when palm muting. Mine is crazyy buzzy when letting go of the string after staccato palm mutes for some reason
I have a question about tuning. Say I have a song in drop e on a 7-string should I tune natively to drop e which is kind of hard with a 26.5 scale evertune or go for stable drop F# and pitch shift 2 semitones down for the recoding?
I love how one minute he is talking about how he hates basswood(tonewood lmao) and then the next minute is gushing over how cool and stable his all-resin Aristides is.
Would have been very interesting to know if he uses also a drop polytune pedal when recording...
Does anyone what he is using to spot out the tone knob hole on the Jackson?
I wanna see him get a custom shop jackson at least. I wonder what it would look like
Where can I get that volume pot hole cover?
his jackson change what kind of pick up??
Those open cores along with the big chunk of wood being replaced with the metal from the evertune killed this guitar for me..... Sounded thin and sterile! Maybe it would be better with better pickups, but I wasnt feeling this guitar..... Traded back to a friend for my Schecter Keith Merrow 7
Does anyone know what pickups he uses
What are your thoughts on an evertune equipped guitar vs a fanned fret for low tunings?
Define low tunings
Depends on what you're playing more of. For lead stuff, having a shorter scale length is undoubtedly more beneficial. However, the rock solid stability of the low F# with an evertune is beautiful
If you set the evertune so that you can do bends then does that just make it a normal bridge and wont keep things in tune any better?
You can set bends per string you still get all the benefits from the ET bridge even while set to keep bends
@@brandon_caelum so you can have it still keep the guitar perfectly in tune and do bends on the same strings?
@@SlackWi precisely
@@brandon_caelum wow, i need one. I thought you had to give up the ability to bend to see any benefits from it
@@SlackWiyes
I've got that Jackson and I hate the Open-Core Classics. Glad another guy wants to change them out 😂
I’ve been dying for a spiritbox guitar gear type video. So as along as you have a 7 string guitar and a pitch shift effects pedal you can play any spiritbox song lol
This dude knows you can wire the switch so the middle position us full up right considering he doesnt use the neck pup anyway he should wire it that way on Jerry
I don't know why but for some reason Mike reminds me of Chuck Schuldiner. Maybe it's the way they speak idk.
hear me out, right -- iwrestledcocainebearonce
nice jackson, hope you save money and buy Esp in future :))
Love your stuff buddy but you should try to not interrupt as much
Can someone explain to me like I’m 12 how he’s pitch shifting live without the guitars sounding like shit?
I’m guessing the pitch shift effect on the quad cortex is legit lol I have the digitech drop and going back 3 octaves will sound like muddy shit lol
@@treyjames8887 I had one too, returned it cause it was muddy af and I could hear it getting kind of stuck between the two notes.
Did he say that Holy Roller is a stupid song????
Yo guys, what does Mike mean that the Aristides doesn’t have wood? Like wtf 💀
Look them up . The are made with Arium. It's amazing
I thought it was so cool that Mike was wearing a Symphony X shit and then I realized he's not :(
Shame this band is woke…
Alright I’ll bite, what is woke about them? As far as I know they’re music isn’t political
@Brandon Cook …they dropped out of the FIR tour… I like their music but… come on… that’s woke..
I don't think they are overly woke. Just think they got scared of the cancel culture and dropped out. They didn't wanna play with Falling in reverse.
cool
