I love how these series of videos mainly focuses in Non-Shredder guitar players, opposite to the average guitar mag or guitar oriented media that is absolutely obsessed with that aspect of guitar playing, thank you EQD for include a wider variety of guitarists !
Doug Gillard is a freakin' genius songwriter and guitar player. See "I Am A Tree," one of the greatest rock n roll songs of all time, containing one of the most spectacular rock n roll guitar solos of all time. Also, "Pop Zeus," which he shows us how to play in this video! So good. Thanks EQD!
EARTHQUAKER GLUE! 😉 That was awesome. So much guitar excellence and tonal wizardary! *Gillard is to Pollard as Nels is to Tweedy. I have respect for all the great Guided By Voices guitarists of yore, but Doug is the GBV guitar G.O.A.T. to the Fading Captain's infinite muse.
Incredible how Gillard's tone hasn't changed over the years, even though he's using different amps and effects. It must be down to that sweet LP Custom and the man himself.
S Rawdon I have one. It can be an undertone or overtone mod. I absolutely love it and for the price it’s a killer pedal. It won’t get you to distortion really, but can provide overdrive to creepy tones to just different voices.

Yes to all of that!!!

"Anyone who loves guitar can agree that to know Doug's playing is to love it. "
Well said. ❤
The man behind the man.
And he doesn't seem to mind.
My fave guitar player right there ! Fabulous Doug ....
this man's recorded work is absolutely fucking stellar.. decades of it, brilliant throughout
Big Doug fan here. Major talent!
GBV are an amazing band, definitely in my top ten live shows... and Doug is such a stellar player. 👏👏👏 Thanks EQD folks. 🍻
Thanks for watching Asher
Song at 7:17 is “Surgeon is Complete” from Lifeguards’ “Mist King Urth”, which is a Robert Pollard and Doug Gillard side project. It’s a great record.
newest lifeguards lp from 2011 is good too
Love Doug's solo stuff. Great songs. Great playing!
Indeed! Thanks for watching, Mr. Reid!
Man that Pop Zeus riff at the end is something special
Omg. Yes.
Thank You EQD! Fantastic stuff, as always.
Glad you liked it. Stay tuned for more

glad you dug it, thanks for watching
Always liked Doug's playing with Death of Samantha, wish I had seen them live back in the 80's.
I'm not sure I'd be able to say the words "I play in Guided by Voices" with the same composure and calmness... :p
Right roight
Some proper gorgeous reverbs in there
Very cool. The ED Gold has a great bark.

As always you are so impressive, you Sir are great!!!!
Legend
GBV! My all time fav!
The boss eq pedal image displayed is a bass version. The stock photo used doesn't look like the eqs on his board.
Gimme Some Music! and it’s a boss ps-5, not a ps-6
Beautiful guitar
Everything he's playing is so gbv...❤️❤️❤️
1:38 @ why showing a picture of the Boss Bass Equalizer when he uses the guitar version?
Yeah that was definitely a Mega-LOLmoment.
Awesome.
More Doug excellence.
Great episode!
Glad you liked it Darrel! Thanks
tf is that last song he plays.. so good
dchae It’s a song called “Pop Zeus” that he did with Robert Pollard
Pop Zeus, from Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department. A fantastic song! Pop genius more like.
Hoping you can get your hands on it.
I'm not selling my copy! Album is loaded with gems.
"If it's right, you can tell."
That amp tho. I liked the transmisser but it was really difficult to get a normal reverb off of it.
Songwriting genius!
Bout time
My guess is that lp custom is a 69! reminds me a lot james williamson's 69 lp custom in the stooges!
Song at 7:57?
Pop Zeus
POP ZEUS
Can you use the Tone Job as a clean boost?
yep!
flint is so underrated
2:04 ECHOES MYRONS!
Great video. Doug is such a great guitarist. Is that a different LPC than the one he usuall plays with the uncovered pickups?
anyone know what that last song is?
Music Music Pop Zues by Bob Pollard and Doug Gillard
Music Music It’s called “Pop Zeus”
Pop Zeus
2:00 Frank and the catholics tone :D Love it
GBV!...GBV!
8:03
🤩
What's the recording set up for this episode, mic wise?
Awesome!! Anyone know the name of the song he's playing at the very beginning?
I thought it was Stone Roses' I Am The Resurrection.
It's Parade On (from Doug's solo album of the same name). GBV have been playing live recently. Fantastic song!
It’s Parade On, from Doug’s latest solo album of the same name.
GEB-7? I understand that it isn't an eqd pedal, but still... #comeonman
Call him Max. Send him a fax. Charge him no tax.
GBV!
Eyyy
Lifeguards at 7:16
sparkle drive sounded weird to me

Let Paul into a Supro? Very Jimmy Page!
All that equipment to do NOTHING.
