I think if we lock a bunch of 6 year olds in a music room with no supervision, We will discover dozens, if not hundreds, more of these Extended Techniques
most likely we would just see them slapping the guitar lol discovering these techniques is something more related to the mastery and understanding of the instrument rather than the ignorance of it
1:19 I play both the guitar and the viola so I've tried to use my bow on the guitar of course. To say it ruins your strings is an understatement. You'll never get rid of the resin so unless you can afford to hire a roadie to change your string for you, get a second guitar for bowing (preferably an archtop with a floating bridge) or learn how to use an eBow. 2:00 You can get a much better crossed string snare drum effect if you dampen the strings a bit and play a downstroke with another finger, not the thumb. If you know how to play rasgueado or a very fast single finger back-and-forth strumming, you can get a really convincing drum roll. It's usually better to put the A string on top of the E string than the other way round and where you fret the crossed strings make a huge difference to the sound. Don't worry about breaking the strings, you have to be very careless for that to happen. You may need to tune the guitar afterwards though. 2:26 I use the B and G strings for this. It works on an acoustic guitar too if you're careful how you fret and strike. A third crossed strings efect is to use the top two strings and just thrash it - sounds absolutely horrible but in a cool way. ^_^ 2:42 Steve Hackett wears a steel ring on his little finger to create a slightly different string scraping effect. It's become one of this trademarks and really worth trying. 3:17 Nice pronounciation, don't worry! ^_^ 4:22 Here's another really cool prepared guitar effect: Take a peace of thin metal wire (a straightened out paperclip will do but ideally you want somthing slightly softer and thinner). Weave it around the strings close to the bridge (above the 6th string, under the 5th, above the 4th etc). Gives a really cool steel drum like sound. The closer you can get the wire to the bridge the better the intonation will be but it will always sound a bit out of tune. Oh, and two more paperclip tricks: 1. Put a paperclip on a string and make sure it doesn't tocuh any other strings. Gives a really eerie chime/gong sound. 2. Out a paperclip on one string and let touch lightly a neighbor string. Strike the string the paperclip is attached to and fret the one it touches. If you do it right, you get a really nice although very soft tremolo effect.
Tony Levin uses the drumstick technique on bass, he even made a specialized version for it called the funk fingers. Two sticks that strap to your fingers. Works better with bass in general and sounds really cool when done correctly
Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin) using the Violin bow is very cool and mysterious sounding! And to add, a cool example of "Pick Scraping" done in a cool way is the very beginning of the song "Stargazer" by Rainbow (guitarist of Deep Purple)
after pickslides got robbed, my brain stopped processing what you were saying so i don’t remember most of this video 10/10 existential crisis, will absolutely watch again later with my brain turned on
Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead used a bow on his 70's Fender Starcaster, notably on "Pyramid Song". On the KID AMNESIA box set released in 2021, there's a track called "Pyramid Strings" where you can hear it very clearly. Jimmy Page is famous for using his bow in the middle of "Dazed and Confused" as well as "How Many More Times".
I cant tell you how much I hated that tapping open string acoustic guitar stuff. It was huge back in the day and I feel like it was something that got SO much attention for being a neat trick that it helped usher us into an era where a lot of guitar is just neat things on instagram for 30 seconds of content other than actual songs.
That’s how I feel now as a bass player, slapping has always been a way to draw attention but in recent years it’s become a cheap gimmick because of people online. Davie504 is ridiculously skilled, but equally unfunny, I couldn’t mention bass without someone saying SLAPP or asking if it’s ok to PICC. It was worse a couple years ago but still annoying Seinfeld too, I have to explain to everyone over 40 that yes I can slap, but I don’t do it much, and no I do not know the Seinfeld theme.
threading a wire between strings either near the bottom or over wherever you want harmonics is also a very cool prepared guitar technique. look up michael chorney prepared guitar if you wanna see
i would personally put tapping in S tier solely because of mister Andrés Godoy, a one-armed man who plays some of the most intricate and creative guitar parts using only his left hand
Love your videos man keep it up :) Also thank you for telling me about Justin, i just searched "how to learn guitar online" like when i first picked up a guitar and your video said Justin. If it wasn't for you i'd be completely lost
bro pick scrape only C-tier? Shouldn't overdo it, but when placed tastefully it's definitely A-tier. Bunch of the others are some fun tricks for studio work maybe, but very impractical in nature
Well I think that if each one of these techniques is well used and does serve the music, all of them could possibly reach S tier, without mentioning the others such as violoning, artificial harmonics, tuning while playing, the use of kill switch or even letting the wind play ! (Like in the last rob scallon’s video)
not really, who would cross two strings in a performance to create either a bell or snare sound. a pick scrape can be used on a whim. this tier list is trash because it doesn't consider practicality.
Garbage tier list, out of all these stuff like tapping and the flamenco percussive elements have become a key part of the genres they’re used in. Both S tier.
I used to do that drum stick thing and got called a weirdo. Now it's a trend? I was ahead of my time i guess...or the people in that town were just uncultured. Probably a little from column A and a little from column B.
@@malegria9641 low action shouldn't be an issue 🤔 I found that starting from left hand hammer on/pull offs and gradually introducing the right hand worked for me, but I'm certainly no EVH
If you put tapping, you have to put sweep picking, and also, sweep picking w/ tapping (I don't mean tapping an entire arpeggio in a sweep picking style, more of the Michael Angelo Batio kind, where you do a sweep then at certain parts you add a tapped note, then there's also his extended version of this technique, where he adds a slide after the tapped note) so in guitar tab: h t p p e|--------------12--15---17--15--12-------------| b|--------13----------------------------------13------| g|--12----------------------------------------------12| and the MAB extension h t s s p p e|--------------12--15---17--18--17--15--12-------------| b|--------13----------------------------------------------13------| g|--12----------------------------------------------------------12| h= hammer-on p= pull-off s= slide t= tap
thanks for sticking around everyone :) new videos coming more frequently starting... NOW!
Wow
Thank you
So exited, if you want to you should make more music!!!!!!
I think if we lock a bunch of 6 year olds in a music room with no supervision, We will discover dozens, if not hundreds, more of these Extended Techniques
if we didn't watch them, how would we know what they discovered?
You ever heard of The Shaggs?
That's what happens when you do that 🥲
most likely we would just see them slapping the guitar lol discovering these techniques is something more related to the mastery and understanding of the instrument rather than the ignorance of it
Assuming not all the instruments get broken in the first 10 minutes
Doing the pick scrape dirty. So simple. So awesome. Boo for not including Paul Gilbert's power drill.

about the bowed guitar: you can just use flatwounds
@@basedfinger Yes, that would probably help a little bit but I play the viola (with polished strings) and it's the same problem there.

oh goddamn I forgot I was on my band's account
@@OfficialHeadrushTopeka your band is called the Gyatt Gobblers?
@@AnnoyingOrange420 yeah, we formed it a couple days ago and we have 4 members, we practice in my basement.
@@OfficialHeadrushTopeka hell yeah dog
Love your videos. Please keep making them. And then don't forget to upload the videos you make. Thanks I love you.
i forgot about that last part

Me, a bassist, looking down at what those guitarist have to do just to reach a fraction of our slap
after pickslides got robbed, my brain stopped processing what you were saying so i don’t remember most of this video
10/10 existential crisis, will absolutely watch again later with my brain turned on
0:06 "Holdd the note and strum it" **Sad Fingerstyle Noises**
So if you do slide guitar in an electric but turn the distortion to max you can a really cool racecar sound effect

Man this dude is back Keep doing what your doin man ur a great help to all guitarist out there
Bro didnt give Pick Scrape S
So glad you’re back!
Welcome back my friend, Brazil loves you
threading a wire between strings either near the bottom or over wherever you want harmonics is also a very cool prepared guitar technique. look up michael chorney prepared guitar if you wanna see
I love your videos ❤
i love you
he finally came back
Thanks as always for the new content. I LOVE DJENT
i would personally put tapping in S tier solely because of mister Andrés Godoy, a one-armed man who plays some of the most intricate and creative guitar parts using only his left hand
instead of learning how to play guitar now I'm gong to just start hitting it with various objects
Love your videos man keep it up :)
Also thank you for telling me about Justin, i just searched "how to learn guitar online" like when i first picked up a guitar and your video said Justin. If it wasn't for you i'd be completely lost
Asturias made me fall in love with those nylon strings

Shouldn't overdo it, but when placed tastefully it's definitely A-tier.
Bunch of the others are some fun tricks for studio work maybe, but very impractical in nature
1:02 as someone who plays an instrument using a bow, this man is holding the bow WRONG
I am disappointed Eddi Van Halen's eruption solo wasn't used for tapping
Just wanted to say that I really liked the video. Keep it up.
You're literally the only RUclipsr I watch lol
I’m honoured
Learned a lot in this one!
Aaron paulson uses the drum stick technique. It sounds really good
Yo! What's they vid by 4:00 ? Great vid btw 👍
0:05 RINGO FROM THE BEATLES CARTOON YIPPE!!!1

I mean in the search for new sounds and tones every technique could be incredible in the right context

@@thenowereman6730 i just feel like practicality should be the number one variable for deciding it's tier.
Pick scraping In c?😶
I love all your videos
Was the guy at 0:52 playing the blackened solo?
SCORDATURA
if u seen thunderstruck by acdc, the intro was played with tapping
that snare actually sounded sick
That sock thingy looks like the solution to all my problems
Grest video! But you forgot the glide guitar.
hey fancy seeing you here! also, what is that?
@@RedlightBlueContinuously using the tremolo bar to bend whole chords. Basically strumming with the tremolo in your hand.
no jimmy page for violin bow?
Or Eddie Phillips who did it first
Hell yeah.
Garbage tier list, out of all these stuff like tapping and the flamenco percussive elements have become a key part of the genres they’re used in. Both S tier.
It’s his tier list meaning it’s his opinion. If you disagree to such a degree just make your own tier list bro.
Lol! You are using pictures of Dax and Sarah (Lindy Hop Dancers) for your two hand tapping meme!
You can also use hairbands instead of socks
Hair scrunchy is way better for the sock technique than a sock.
I used to do that drum stick thing and got called a weirdo. Now it's a trend? I was ahead of my time i guess...or the people in that town were just uncultured. Probably a little from column A and a little from column B.
Bowed guitar is Sacrilegious.
bow guitar - Bo Burham
Dont forget about Pinch harmonics?
“You take a sock and you tie it around your neck”
-Red
Music that scares me... I hear ya! 🤗
Watching this video with the sound off is quite the adventure
the way god intended
🙂 the silent stare
Bowing but no Jimmy Page? He's like the original maestro of mutilating the violin bow lmao
Eddie Phillips of The Creation was first
This man’s my guitar hero 😂
Shout out Thurston Moore, og drumstick guitarist. Well I guess that’s Glenn Branca technically
Cool 💯
see ya next yeat
Go check how EVH played the initial riff from a song called Poundcake lol
ruclips.net/video/o1GJxVmYv-E/видео.html
thump, thump, thump, thump… THUMP
Starting…. NOW!
Good luck
no Mombasa in the percussion tier???
i love you
so am i, hudson
D E P E N D S
what's it called when you use an instrument the wrong way but not on purpose?
My playing
Hair tie alternately if you don't like stink socks
I’m here way too early
thank you
I love your videos ❤
Crosses strings technique more like ST anger snare
anyone else feel unformattable at 3:58?
Also ,how many people came up with sock technique on their own? I did
maybe not just in time for lunch
i play my guitar with a socket.
I still don’t get how tapping works and it’s been 3 years since I’ve started playing (practice every day) now
Update: got it down!
What's your rig like? Does your guitar have high action up the neck?
@@347Jimmy nah, low action, and now that I think about it that’s probably the problem. But I’m mostly a rhythm guitarist anyways
@@malegria9641 low action shouldn't be an issue 🤔
I found that starting from left hand hammer on/pull offs and gradually introducing the right hand worked for me, but I'm certainly no EVH
@@malegria9641 also compression can be a very good friend
Some of these people came up with just to get attention. Like crossing strings💀
sock is hands down S, i play like that for 10 yeassrsXD
ok but, like a clean sock or the one under my bed?
bruh, you WAY underestimate string strength man. i can tell you've never played in a punk band lmao
yep, 2:44-2:54 further cements this theory
tapping is just hammer-ons on crack
talking about violin bow without even mentioning Jimmy Page.... Same for taping w/o mentioning Van Halen bruh
No mention of Eddie Phillips who was bowing his guitar before Page
Hybrid picking? Selective? Sweep? Dime bombs? Nah, i will make useless video thank you
Take a shot every time you hear the word “cool” +1 if you see 🕶️
hi can you heart me
for you, anything
thank you now give me a guitar / srs
@@icezzzzI’ll give u one…
if u can play classical music
@@CosmicHarmony58Sir, I can play canon in d in piano tiles.
jokes aside, i have no capability on playing any instruments but im willing to learn
@@icezzzz well, time to pull up your boot straps, cause you’re learning TODAY
Guitars should not be acoustic
i think this is bad good try tho
i hate percussive guitarists

s= slide
t= tap
