Drowning in the ocean of advertising channels…you my friend are an island 🏝 thanks for this 🙏🏼
thanks glad you dig it
The Navi "HEY" at the end cracked me up. Will definitely be trying the paperclip idea!
Ocarina of Time is the best game ever 🧚
Yeah-Gary Glitter would approve...

never thought i'd hear an ocarina of time cover version of gary glitter but here we are
i was really excited to unleash that part specifically
Subscribed just for the background animations. Fucking genius! Please keep doing them. Greetings from Brazil.
thanks will do
Same here!
The volume tricks got me thinking about how i could do that with a foot pedal volume too. The reverse technique is a rad way to add dimension without having a reverse on the whole time
Best guitar youtube channel strikes again! 👌👌👌
Great video, very interesting sounds, would love to see more of that prepared guitar/extended technique/effects without pedals stuff!
Or maybe even together with pedals, endless possibilities!
Love this channel.
How to make an octave down effect without pedals: I learned this from Michael League of Snarky Puppy. Roll down your tone and pick the note exactly octave above the note your playing. In my experience it helps to play like you would play using OC-2, so gently and with the pad of your finger. Works on bass, I haven't tried this with guitar, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
for tip 5, if your daw has a sampler that allows you to loop a sample, you can get a single cycle of the guitar waveform and loop it for endless sustain that you can shape with ADSR envelopes :)
rad
Incredible video btw, you deserve alot more attention, also i agree fully with the other comments, those background animations are great
These are so good. Really nicely executed and applied. Great follow-up to Part 1.
thanks
Great graphics for a bonus. Thanks!
you can weave a piece of a low E string in between your strings (close to the bridge is best) instead of a paperclip
Nice
Cool stuff man, I used to play around with the volume and tone knobs like that but anytime I get new pots they're always really slow for whatever reason. I like doing Eric Johnson's Koto technique though. Another cool trick to try is putting a piece of an old guitar string through your strings near the bridge. Kinda similar to the paper clip one you did, but at times can sound a bit more like a Kalimba or a ring mod effect if you find the sweet spot. I'll try the paper clip though, sounds kinda banjo like.
Right on
That was really cool. Appreciate the tips as well. Thanks a lot.
Deep dive into an ocean of inspiration especially bc you don’t just give the raw example but no you also deliver a song which perfectly incorporates the style it fits to. So sick 🤯🫶🏻
For the synth tip, that clicking sound is caused by the waveform getting cut in the middle of the wave. If you want to get rid of it, put tiny tiny fades into and out of the note before you start copying it and moving it around. It works in the context of the song you made though. Love the vids
You make a good point. I heard the clicks the entire time I was working on this, and normally I would do the fades, but in this case I decided to leave in the clicks because I thought it sort of played into the "brute force" vibe of the whole thing, as you note. Thanks for checking it out, glad you dig the vids.
@@CyberattackWorld Also just throw that single sample into Quick Sampler, it will pitch it to your keyboard, and then you just write the entire part as MIDI, instead of having to create a bunch of different transposed tracks and copy and paste. You could choose to "One Shot" it, as you essentially did here, or even "Loop" the sound for longer held notes. Flume gets a lot cool sounds by making the loop time frame not exactly fit the song time, for an unquantized feel.
That's great advice. I stuck with the super low-tech approach for the video (copying and pasting across multiple tracks) because I thought it would be easier to explain to people who have never even messed with sampling before, and because it sort of felt like it was in the ultra-dumb-but-cool spirit of that whole segment. But your method is more elegant and opens up some creative potential as well, like the Flume trick, so thank you for posting it here.
you can also zoom in on the waveform and make sure it is cut exactly at 0 amplitude.
this is most excellent advice and will permeate the interwebs
You made those knobs sound great. Nice playing and nice tips
This is fantastic
Danny Gatton could do that tone roll/wah effect expertly. Using Tele as well. And there he is in your video. Nice. I have also worked through those Govan texts. Helped demystify a lot of theory for me. Esp chords. Still use the first part of book two for workouts. (passed on the eight note tapping - ain't nobody got time for that.)
I'm gonna call these songs "bespoke throwbacks" because the wash of nostalgia mixed with the unusual timbres is giving me the happy tinglies
Great video! Before I got a night sky I was practicing using the volume knob for swells / to create ambient soundscapes with a lot of Reverb. I’ll see if those skills help me master the reverse guitar playing haha. The paper clip pro tip is 🔥 also.
thank you
I really dig the visuals you do
Brilliant! Thanks!
New sub here, I like your style man! Those Guthrie books are freakin' GOLD. Tons of cool useful information in them.
They really are. I love that guy
You are so amazing. Thank you.
Damn! You’re a hell of a player! This definitely lit a fire under me. Roy Buchanan got a lot out of his guitar too. Keep up the greatwork! Hello all the way from Warren County! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some guitar playing to do
thanks man, excused
this is getting borderline sound engineering with a guitar. love it!
This guy rules
Cool tips! I'm digging out my paperclips asap :D
These are the tips we need!
easy sub dude, glad to have found you. Love the edits.
thanks
Great tips! That synth tone you got sounded so Glittery!!
Well put, thank you
fantastic as always brother
thank u death ray
Rock and Roll part II, a brave choice brother and I respect it. Sounded absolutely fucking mint. ✌🏻
So great!!!
You’re a national treasure
Subbed, nice research and references.
Been with you since tppojla and I'm with you till the end. I and ppl I've shown it to are probably at least 200 of the 2k views you have on that video.
That’s incredible thank you
last one is amazing and I've never ever thought about it! I have a slight improvement to it though... It's doable in free audio software I'm sure; it's just fixing (eliminating) the DC offset at the beginning of the audio clip to avoid the (probably unwanted) clicking sound. Experimenting with the attack might be a quick and interesting thing to try out as well.
All in all, great tips and beautiful editing as always. So inspiring
Thanks man you’re right about the click sound although for this application I left it on purpose just because I thought it added to the aggressive dumb power of it all
such an important issue thank you for these life saving tips
impordint yes!!!! ur welcome!!!!!!!
Last sound example wrinkled my brain. Wow.
Another thing I find happening when I play is making 🎸 notes sound like a low gain Rhodes, usually via a mixture of low vol/tone + wah backed off. It usually just happens without much forethought, so I’m not entirely sure how to explain the process of getting there. If I happen remember next time it happens, I’ll make a note and post the recipe here. Mess around yourself and see what happens. 🤷♂️ Great vids, btw. Keep up the helpful fun stuff and hit me up next time you’re in Hawaii. I think we would get along fine 😎🛸🤙
I like the Koto idea. Gonna give that a try...
This video is a masterpiece.
Dude I love your vids lol the last cover absolutely sent me, at first I couldn't recognize it and then I heard Navi and the chorus hit me haha brilliant fam
Thank you that cover was one of my favorites I’ve ever done
@@CyberattackWorld btw I got the syntax 2 coming in the mail today! Super hype!
nice, that pedal rules
It's too late to save money on gear with this, but it is great to find all these innovations to incorporate into playing. Saludos.
Been a fan of Danny Gatton and that awesome Austin City Limits performance for a long time - a buddy gave me a bootlegged copy like 23 years ago and it changed me forever. Interestingly enough, this friend also had the second Eric Johnson ACL performance as well! What I’m saying is that to this day I’m super excited when someone knows about Danny Gatton - nicknamed the best unknown guitarist and those EJ performances. Really enjoy your channel - my favorite pedal reviewer by far. Thanks!
i'm with ya man. i also love Bill Holloman's saxophone playing during Danny Gatton's ACL performance too, there are a couple songs where i like his solo more than Danny Gatton's. maybe that's fighting words but i got a soft spot for Bill Holloman
@@CyberattackWorld oh dear God, Bill Holloman’s solos had notes that A) I didn’t think that humans could play let alone B) that human ears could even register. They were definitely a highlight of the performance. Totally agree!
Please please make a part two!
As soon as I can find another 5 things, I will. In the meantime there is this if you haven’t seen it:

I just got zoom ms50g and it did the trick
That reverse sounding volume knob trick is bad ass
since I recorded this video I've tried using that trick to recreate other recorded backward solos, instead of just making stuff up on the spot, and it's extremely hard
Roy Buchanan. Volume knob master!
Hey that works!
The koto example, aaaahahhhah ❤️
4:15 wow... he went there
On the tool song “the patient”. The bassist does the wah tone knob trick
that's cool
I’m late to the game, but where did you place the paper clip, exactly?
What chip-tuney synth are you using in the example, and what ones would you recommend?
Every synth I use is either the OP-1 or the software synths that come with GarageBand. I recommend both
❤❤❤
the google maps sopranos edit was classic!
thank you for appreciating that
Papeclip sounds like a specific reverb from someplace I specifically can’t remember.
Let me know if you do
8:05 Drums very reminiscent of Capital G by Nine inch Nails
good ears
Your videos deserve more views
if you want to share/repost them anywhere it always helps, thank you
@@CyberattackWorld Will do! Hey, since you make videos on chase bliss pedals you might find this interesting. It's an open source project that lets you visualize and individually control parameter bouncing for each knob:

oh that's really cool, I might have heard about this on Reddit I think
nice sopranos theme!
How to be Advanced: Delay Pedal Edition when??
glad somebody finally caught the sopranos theme. as for delay pedals, sooner or later I will give them their own video, but in the meantime, pro-tips 3, 4, and 5 in this video all use delay pedals in different ways: ruclips.net/video/3aap6WcpmRA/видео.html
I don't think my pinky will reach the tone knob but I'm gonna give it a shot!
godspeed
I fuckin love your music
Tone-knobby Soprano tho 😤
Woke up this morning
Got some gabagool
5:20 is great
glad you like it. someday it's gonna get released as a song called Soft Spot
Awesome
Came for the tips, stayed for the Da da da da
WOKE UP DIS MORNIN
blue moon in your eye
Ladi da di da it's the modafuking c-y-b-er attack!
la-di-da-di-da
This is the real shit
What a gangsta
Did you play some don’t()hug()me()I’m()scared?
no, I didn't know what that was until now. which one did you think was that, I'm curious
Still dre?
The Next Episode, same album
@@CyberattackWorld damn. I was close. I knew it was that album
dear cyberattack: why do amplifiers sound like shit
possibly because they're amplifying shit
My solution to not buying pedals was getting an iPad.
god bless
Не ну мучать себя питчшифтингом одного семпла это бред, любая миди гитара также звучит bruteforced
you're not wrong, but doing it this way with free software is cheaper than a MIDI guitar
Pro tip play drums instead!!!
no
