If you don’t have a Telecaster, use the bridge pickup on a strat, tone all the way up. Turn that treble all the way up. Clean tone. Make it a tiny bit crunchy.
I grew up in Chicago, Mike Kinsella from Capn' Jazz was married to an english teacher at my high school, and I would go see Make Believe play local clubs. Before I moved away I always though midwestern emo was only big in the midwest, or at least it was a small sub genre. Seeing someone across the world so steeped in it is fascinating and super cool.
I ain't a guitar snob so I really enjoyed this kind of memey-slashey-shitepostey content. Make more of this and you'll be as big as Kmac or Davie or StevieT in no time.
Thank you so much for this video. I was actually wondering if you’d make a video centered around your pedal use, and here it is! It’s much appreciated!
A very recent (like, today) reddit comment on a post about math rock pedal setups pointed me to your videos and I'm really enjoying them. I love your pedal chain explanations and demos. I've been playing casually for like 30 years and am still intimidated by all the options, so breakdowns like yours specific to a genre I like to play are super helpful. That said, at 1:26 here, the capo position equally spaced between the frets is triggering me in a bad way =). This video is a few years old so maybe you're already hip to this, but you'll get way better tune stability--and imo better tone--if the capo is behind the fret by roughly only 1/8" (3-4mm) or so. Carry on.
It would be cool if someday you did more tone tutorials, but like focusing on amp setting n more technical stuff like that , so us non Tele users can get some help too!
I know I’m gonna sound dumb here but any advice on garage band plug ins for similar sound. Super broke and trying to expand from acoustic front bottoms style to more math
I love that tele so much! I have the same model. I bought it to use it as my first Tele mod platform and after giving it a little bit of set up work I decided that I would keep it stock lol. Maybe I'll use a Harley Benton T model as a mod platform.
Does anybody know what album standing behind Steve? On 0:09? I actually mean album with cover which the girl with the flowers on face. What band it is?
Hi Steve, first of all, thank your for such an amazing book. Also, I'd like to know if you ever uploaded a tutorial for Never Meant main riff, I'm such a noob in this part of the guitar universe and would like to learn it. Thank you so much.
spicevam I generally do, but I have seen some people online instead use a capo on the second fret and downtune to CGDGBD if they're worried about that stress on the strings
I dealt with this when learning this tuning months ago. It basically comes down to what kind of strings you're using as well as your bridge setup. I was using .10s but like you I noticed the tension was high and my floating bridge was *really* floating. If you have a stratocater like me (or a floating bridge) youll want to add extra springs to the trem claw. DAEAC#e is probably the highest tension tuning I've ever used.
Thicker strings are more resilient, using 11- 52 DAEAC#E is fine! I also do a variant of DADGAD as EBEABE- tuning 5th, 4th and 3rd up a step instead of the 6th, 2nd and 1st a step down. This is on Jazzmasters, so there's a lot of string length behind the bridge adding to the tension too. On a Tele with a set of 11s you're good to go a step in either direction on any string without risk of snapping or excessive flappiness. :)

I'm using a behringer UMC 404 something-another. I haven't had any latency issues, but it's important to keep in mind that the PC's processing power is part of that. Make sure to use ASIO drivers in any DAW you record to, and to use direct monitoring for no latency monitoring. 👍

Step 1: live in midwest
Step 2: be an emo
Step3 : play guitar
XD i read that last step as BE guitar!!
All three are accurate to me
1. I live in New York
2. Not an emo
3. Play guitar poorly
0.5/3=tone not acquired
I life in the middle West in germany is that okay XD
1: lives in midwest
2. Emo but just music taste
3. Shit at guitar
I don’t know if you’re drunk, but I love this. It’s adorable
Same
Jimaroc damn
He is a meerkat
I think English just isn’t his first language
sounds very British in his other videos though 😅 (for me as a German)
“now play a major 9 chord, makes you feel good right?”
yes it does steve, yes it does
You know when the quarantine is over, shall we just not tell Steve. I want to see how weird this gets.

This video went online the day Covid felt real and SXSW cancelled. Thanks for making this, it's inspiring in a way. I learned a lot in 4 minutes
Hahah yoo Flite u here as well love your songs bro!
I ain't a guitar snob so I really enjoyed this kind of memey-slashey-shitepostey content. Make more of this and you'll be as big as Kmac or Davie or StevieT in no time.
I can confirm. From the Midwest and have always played in the middle with my tele that has a large chip in the bodywork.
Steve are you okay? Blink twice if you're being held hostage
😂😉
I'd love a tutorial on the Totorro crunchy tone - gives me chills everytime I listen to Home Alone & Come to Mexico
And how many hundreds of amps & miles of signal processing are used to make those bass tones.
Those albums are legendary, definitely a crunchier tone, sounds like it's out of an Orange cab or something from them
I think if you're last name is Kinsella, you're automatically good to go
Also I've been using a mustang for this style of music, sometimes my friend's tele but mostly my stang. Has good tone for it honestly
The first sentence earned you a like.
Thank you so much for this video. I was actually wondering if you’d make a video centered around your pedal use, and here it is! It’s much appreciated!
Awesome stuff. I tend to change it up quite often so don't be surprised if it's totally different in a month. haha
Hey man... theres at least 4 of us my guy
Haha, it's what Dovydas ( a RUclipsr) frequently says at the beginning of his videos. 👍
Dozens!!! 😂
Man you make playing like this look so easy, really inspires me to practice more
Instructions not clear I purchased A whangcaster
Wow...
Wangcaster - Justin Wang’s Signature guitar
Wongcaster - Trevor Wong Signature Tele
Thank you for the video. Learned a lot!
Looks like you've been drinking again.. And I love it!
I’ve learned that apparently you need a lot of money to play Midwest emo
Not really just depends on what gear you choose to get
Not at all, he just has nice stuff, you can get a nice tone like that relatively cheaply too
tfw just use a free pc amp sim
@@nate7817 there’s a lot of great plugins and amps sims that sound awesome
@@Oceaneaterband What you recommend?

I wonder how Dovydas would react to thus here parody.
Hopefully he wouldn't be mad...
I think he'd enjoy it.
this came out on my b-day, perfect present!
oh no he's been quarantined for too long
Fucking love you man, please dont die
Yus! Finally! A tutorial from the tone king himself!
It would be cool if someday you did more tone tutorials, but like focusing on amp setting n more technical stuff like that , so us non Tele users can get some help too!
Actually working on a video about that right now 😅
Not the bridge this is where the twangs live. Haha that was great as someone that loves that twang for rockabilly
Thanks to you I love telecasters as much as my life. Thank you man, luv you so much.
Happy to help!
the dovydas reference is amazing
0:54 bro we can't say that anymore

Awesome video, thank you!
Cheers! Thanks for watching
never meant just had to be played here
damn your guitar signal is so clean
Thanks Steve, I got my copy!
I know I’m gonna sound dumb here but any advice on garage band plug ins for similar sound. Super broke and trying to expand from acoustic front bottoms style to more math
This video is everything I needed, in both entertainment and useful content 🙏🏼😂
Cheers!
This video is a mess and I love it.
Also how beautiful is that Telecaster? 😮
Lake Placid Blue is one of my favorite guitar finishes
The Stratocaster autocorrecting to Toastmaster is hilarious considering the Strat should also be in a fire.
This was ultimate tutorial, I leave comment below. Telecaster is very beautiful, make life better.
I'm going to defintly get a Tele when I'm old enough to get a job for now I'm using a offbrand jazzmaster haha
I love that tele so much! I have the same model. I bought it to use it as my first Tele mod platform and after giving it a little bit of set up work I decided that I would keep it stock lol. Maybe I'll use a Harley Benton T model as a mod platform.
You okay man?
Not losing your mind in lock-down are ya?
This is how I keep myself sane...
Does anybody know what album standing behind Steve? On 0:09? I actually mean album with cover which the girl with the flowers on face. What band it is?
if I'm correct it's a Yvette Young acoustic record 👍
On the contrary, it seems that there's almost 6k of us! Also, that mint green pickguard on the tele is *beautiful*
I sense a severe case of cabin sickness. God Bless, Steve
I was convinced this was an old video I'd stumbled upon until I checked the date.
Awesome!
Love you dude
You do very good tutorials with a nice attitude!
New sub here
Thank you ever so much
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful.
thanks.
Just curious what song is at 1:01
never meant by american football
Best description ever lol
Hey, that riff u made at 1:37 is amazing. Is there a full version of it somewhere? Pls I need it cuz it gave me an eargasm ngl
Song is Never meant by American Football : )

Hello. I covered the intro riff a few times. I think in my 7 beginner math rock riffs video is probably your best shot 👍
@@LetsTalkAboutMathRock thanks! 👍
Bloody hell, Steve's gone mental.
I think he’s drunk
xD Nice vid Steve, hey do you usually use many different tunings on your tele? Won´t you have intonation and tuning problems by doing so?
Really enjoyed this, really funny and very useful :)
Cheers!
Shout out to the Bloc Party
PLEASEEEEE MORE MIDWEST EMO TUTORIALS IM TRYING TO RELEASE AN EP
1:37 what song is this 🙏
What´s the background-song starting at 3:26 ?
This is great.
do you actually tune D, G and B a whole step up when playing in DAEAC#E?
spicevam I generally do, but I have seen some people online instead use a capo on the second fret and downtune to CGDGBD if they're worried about that stress on the strings
You could, cuz electric strings are able to withstand more tension. I have a Gretsch Streamliner and I did it just fine
I dealt with this when learning this tuning months ago.

If you have a stratocater like me (or a floating bridge) youll want to add extra springs to the trem claw. DAEAC#e is probably the highest tension tuning I've ever used.
I've learned that trying this on a twelve string will result in a broken high g string every time
Thicker strings are more resilient, using 11- 52 DAEAC#E is fine! I also do a variant of DADGAD as EBEABE- tuning 5th, 4th and 3rd up a step instead of the 6th, 2nd and 1st a step down.

i would love a video on amp settings and such for this tone
Hey Man! Love your vids! Any recs on great amp sims for getting that tone?
did steve's math rock tone tutorial get taken down? I can't find it anymore
making a new one as the original is really outdated 👍 will be out soonish
What was the first song you played it’s all to familiar but I can’t put a name on it
It’s never meant by American football. I found it
The fender toastmaster my fav guitar
"chip is optional"😆
Please make more videos like this you are hilarious!!!
which pickups were in that blue tele, texas specials?
they used to be something like that. i changed them to pure vintage 64 pickups. Not pricey and they sound so good!
1:39, I did not know that outerwilds soundtrack was midwest emo, lol.
god i love you steve
I cant find the VOX pedal name.Anybody know it?

Hi steve, good video! Thats a telecaster Special edition? Greetings from $hile, south America.
Cheers! It's an American Special in Lake Placid Blue
Instructions unclear I bought a Warlock now I'm playing American football with max gain distortion
😂
howdy steve! i was wondering if you could make a video or provide a link to some discount versions of your pedal setup? ty
Great vid
Personally like tuning to drop C#, that way I can get chugs into the mix

I'm using a behringer UMC 404 something-another. I haven't had any latency issues, but it's important to keep in mind that the PC's processing power is part of that. Make sure to use ASIO drivers in any DAW you record to, and to use direct monitoring for no latency monitoring. 👍

No compressor?
the booster helps
this is so funny why is this so funny
and informative
oh how beautiful this telecaster is :')
Hi. Can I ask you? What specific model of fender telecaster do you use? Thank you.
Can you do it with humbuckers
For sure. You would just need to adjust for the more output from the pickups etc.
