- Throughout 2014, MXR has been celebrating 40 years of innovation with a series of mini documentary videos covering its history as well as the personal stories of the lives and music it affected.
This episode focuses on long time MXR user Matt Pike-guitarist for High On Fire and Sleep-and his hard work and determination to follow his calling to be a musician.
MXR is honored to be a part of the pedal board of guitarists such as Matt, whose sound owes both to past influences as well as his own constant experimentation, and whose career has been tested by and survived the rigors of the road.

I met Matt after a show once. He was standing in an alley smoking a cigarette. It was literally just me and him. I walked up to him shaking from nervousness and told him he was one of my idols. He was kind, laughed, took a picture with me, and happily autographed my sleep tapestry that I proudly told him I took off of my living room wall for the show. He seemed genuinely happy to see 19 year old me mesmerized by being able to just talk to him 1 on 1 for 2 minutes. I'll never forget it. Pike is as great as he seems.
Becoming skillful at your art,
It takes a lot of practice, it takes a lot of heart.
When you get your ass kicked enough,
you still gotta get up and fight.
Not everybody's cut out
to be a musician for life.
DID Matt just write lyrics during an interview??
0:43 Those 2 seconds affected me. It looks and feels so real, like he went through some serious shit. You can actually see it.
but how did they get him to put a shirt on
No sleeves. Compromises can be made.
00:43 hit's me right in my heart.
I fucking love Matt.
I met this dude in a bar years back in Vancouver I wasn't the biggest fan at the time but I knew about high fire due to my burnt out homie I recognize him he was having a hard time getting a drink off this stuck up bar tender chick so I walked up to the bar and said to her... this man is a fuckin guitar wizard ill get two shots of jager he laughed ( no lie) ..we both did one then he bought the next round we walked outside had a smoke got a photo then he walked off in the distance with one of the dudes from bison b.c I been a big fan since.
ha ha I think I was there....no joke, my friend at the time was Masa who played in Bison B.C., and this feels oddly familiar.......
Dude bison are fucking great
even if this didnt happen,bad ass story bro
Matt Pike is so genuine and it's amazing.
A legendary guitarist and one of the best around today. I love this dude's music and personality. My hero!

Ocean Sage best around today? Not today, not yesterday And never will be a good guitarrist.
Glad to see he has his health back to do what he does best!
Saw and hear HOF the first time on the Motorboat. He blew me away. I even told Matt, "I don't know what button your pushin', but you have an incredible sound from your guitar." Heavy, Heavy Tones!
when High on Fire's 1st album hit the street my best friend at the time played Blood from Zion & 10,000 days for me I've been hooked ever since what Matt Pike & company have created I believe will stand the test of time & be looked at as the evolutionary descendant of Sabbath ; Slayer & obviously Sleep ~21 years is a long ride for any band & I'm looking forward to the next album a lot!!
Matt pike is the jay adams of music
***** This is a really great analogy.
dude. you hit the fucking nail, on the head.
Nailed it! And both of them are huge inspirations to me
As long as he stays clean and we dont lose him like jay

So well, I am traying to get a heavy stoner sounds on my pedalboard, but it's really hard. I was looking with a procot rat and a boost mxr, but still not sure....
Any recommendation?
This first time I saw High on Fire, Matt's Rig consisted of a tuning pedal, and a A/B switch/splitter running to two stacks, a clean Soldano, and a Kerry King Marshall. That was it.

“Poor kid in a trailer park”... isn’t his dad rich and he went to a fancy College? That’s what I remember hearing. Someone educate me please.
Bright Falls watch the Loudwire Fact or Fiction with him. He was sent to a military school because he stole cars and stereos aso
Who is this guy? Never heard of him
Is that your record collection? Then you don't know shit about music so go fuck yourself.
You didn't have to write so much to prove you're fucking moron.

So you don't know either?
He's like the post malone of metal.
This is the kinda guy that is Not a Natural Guitarists! I picked up an electric guitar when I was 14 years old, and could play it within hours. Bar cords, 4/4 rhythm just was there like breathing. In six months I was the lead guitarists for a top working band in Santa Barbara, CA. I was just a "natural lead breed." I was playing Classic Rock song solos perfectly, note for note, with superb hand technic and smooth flow with a natural ability to apply scales and lead playing to the song, like a song in a song. Melodies, in the song instead of just "ripping scales, like scrambled eggs." I was a Tommy Shaw, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Steve Perry, Joe Walsh, and Neil Sean all rolled up into one style in about 5 years time. Also I played Acoustic. Did a lot of solo work, at speakeasies in NYC's Village, and Sarasota FL. Any song requested I could play and sing. I had 5, 3" thick binders of all the words and cords to thousands of songs from the 50's, 60's, the awesome 70's, 80's, 90's to present, just to help me refresh my memory of a song I hadn't played in years. Matt Pike reminds me of a guy who was in a band in Santa Barbara, in the early 80's that was a "garage band" and he practiced, and practiced, and practiced, and Never got any better, ever! He had no 'ear' and no style of his own. Just used a lot of EXF's to make noise! I used a Marshall, with reverb, and a tad of Delay, that's it. And that was only on solos. Rhythm playing was just light Reverb and natural crunch. I had the sound of EVH's first album, by using a Variac Volt, increaser. This was the only way to get that sound that Eddie got. It burnt out a lot of my tubes, but it was worth it. Now days, they make built in voltage increasers and I can get that sound with my Marshall DSL 40 Combo with the Celestion "Creamback" cone. It is 'ridiculous.' I can get any sound I want, even the impossible, Brian May tone. I just learned both the solos from Bohemian Rhapsody & We are the Champions to We will, We will Rock You. Note for note, with that rare unique sound, and you couldn't tell the difference. Hand to God, I'm telling you, I finally found his tone. I use several different guitars, I'm mostly a Les Paul and Strat, player, but I also have a 25th anniversary PRS Custom 24 with "custom made Seymour Duncan" pick ups in it. It is an awesome guitar, and is very versatile. For most guitarists, it is difficult to play well, and with the same feeling with different guitars, but I just get one I like, and it takes a couple weeks to make it part of me, like my Pauls' and starts' that I've been playing for 37 years. I am a successful musician, with several songs on he charts, and I do a lot of jingles for major commercial companies, i.e. Toyota, apple, insurance co.'s, McDonalds, etc....There's a ton of money in commercial royalties.
I'm a BMI member, and they pay my royalties every quarter on the spot. $10,000.00 for the initial payment for a 28 second jingle, and royalties for as long as it is played commercially in anytime, anywhere. So, what I'm saying is that guys like Matt Pike are like fish out of water, trying and trying, to be a real lead guitarists, but are in fact just 'hackers' and always will be. God, there are so many out there that are "Rock Stars" that the Record labels produce and create these huge fan bases for bands that are just glorified "garage bands." The real talent in these situations lyes with the agents, managers, and producers. They make steak out of shit! Kudo's to them.
I think your ego is bigger than MATT!
Cool story, bro. All those "glorified garage bands" are out there working their asses off while you are here, well, making comments on a youtube video. Hows that?
I really like that story about how great you are and how you're pretty much the perfect guitar player, but the part i don't understand is why no ones ever heard of you... Oh, i get it. You're a nobody who's upset because you're not famous. Also for the record, no one gives a shit if you write jingles or can learn great songs that someone else wrote.
@tommy....like Amery said, how come no one has ever heard of you. Because you're a nobody. A loser. You're not a musician because all you do is play someone else's song. You can't write your own music. And jingles is not songs. Jingles is what out of work and unknown musicians do. You're jealous because you'll never be famous like Matt Pike. You'll always be known as Tommy the Loser. So be a man for once and quit trying to bullshit people. What a loser. The only thing you probably play is with yourself.
Several songs on the charts? Please name one. You wrote jingles for mcdonalds? I'm lovin it? They don't really have a jingle, neither does Toyota. Sounds like a lot of lies.
