Your Guitar Parts Are More Powerful Than You Think
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- The Overdub Sessions series returns-with a facelift (and audio lift 😉). Here, I go through a pop/country/rock song and add guitar parts that all serve a specific purpose. I discuss why I'm playing what I'm playing and what I'm listening to as I'm playing. The intention here is to show you how a SIMPLE guitar track can steer the emotion/vibe/dynamic of a song all by itself. Your guitar parts are more powerful than you realize!
I have started filming courses. Stay tuned!

1:23 Let's talk about this song and what it needs
2:08 The piano hook in the intro sounds familiar...

27:31 Wrap-up. Thanks for watching, and please SUBSCRIBE!
I guess I'm an OG. The O/D vids are perfect. Real world session situations, focus on what the song needs, real world theory and number system, and not too gear focused except how the sound serves the song. Your channel will be huge.
Yeah I’ve missed these. Love all the other content but for me personally this is what I’m here for. Justin does such a great job and his no-nonsense, easy manner is such a tonic. Super stuff.🙏
Man, I love your playing...could listen to this all day - this is just soo tasteful. Very inspiring.
So musical, the choices you make
Speaking as a bass player who did a lot of session work, if you want to work simplicity is the key. Honestly no producer or session leader will be impressed with your 16th note pentatonic runs and it’s more likely to get you fired and off the contractor’s list forever. RUclips is full of these guys who wonder why their phones aren’t ringing for top session work. Do that stuff with your own band or in your bedroom if you want. But the most iconic bass lines are brilliant in their simplicity and that to me is where the true art of the instrument lies - not in trying to imitate a guitar player. I always use Abe Laboriel as the quintessential example of a player with immense chops who puts that all away when he’s doing commercial recording for others. Yet he does it in a way that is memorable. Nate East is in that class as well. That’s why they are household names amongst bassists and that’s true bass genius!
I studied all the parts… wow so much here!
And I love the ‘keep it simple’ approach
Can’t wait to visit Nashville someday
These overdubs are gold! Please keep them coming when u can
“I don’t want to be the guy who plays something every time the vocalist takes a breath.” 😂. Amen to that!
Keep the OD's coming....learn a lot and thoroughly enjoy them
Just wanna say that your playing is very inspiring. The tone is incredible, so soulful IMHO. Please keep sharing this tasteful and insightful stuff you do.
Thanks a ton!
OG here - and your original stuff showing why and what you would add as a part is what brought me here - I think all OGs are the same - we are fascinated by 'parts' and 'fills' and the thought process behind their creation - I always think of Grady Martin parts on El Paso and what on earth or heaven caused him to think like that.....all that being said your new direction is great as well - keep going...
I GOTTA SONG HERE! I GOTTA SONG HERE! I GOTTA SONG HERE! Man, I've missed that.
Love this. I do not see anything on youtube like it! Thank you!!!
Great job and yes, it's a good thing to know the legal side of unreleased music. Your videos are very insightful.
Really nice save on the piano hook
I desperately wish I would’ve found your channel back then. You would have saved me so many hours of work. I appreciate you.
I love the overdub sessions! The best education on how to do guitar part layering in real world situations.
You're playing my favorite kinda sounds on this track. Without hearing the lyric, I don't know whether to feel sad, happy, introspective... Beautiful wash of emotions. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks to RUclips suggestions I found your channel. You’re an incredibly gifted player with tons of tone and chops. Just musical. From advice to playing to philosophy… musical. Had to subscribe. Loving your videos and your personality. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world. Cheers from Texas.
This OG is very happy the return of this style video. I realize it may not grow the channel, but it definitely is what made you different from others. Thank you
Well, that was just an honest days work dry ride dirt road no dust racing the sunset home.
Good stuff, man.
Telecaster, country insurance 😆 nice touch!
I really enjoy your just enough artwork. Great teamwork. Have a good week from EJ , a hobby Family man.
Thanks for this one. Since 2021 I've been soaking up your influence on my playing. And people are noticing favorably. :)
From 100 subscribers then, to 14.7K and counting . . . Cheers JO from TC
Aw man, that’s great to hear! Thanks for hanging with me
These guitar tones 👍 You add so much to this song. I hope your parts will be as audible as they deserve to be in the final mix.
You are incredible and have a great teaching manner. Thank you!
I'm a full time guitar player in the DFW Texas area and learning the parts that guys like you play in the sessions are tremendous lessons on building songs. One of the toughest things to do live is figuring out which parts have to be played and are key to the song when multiple parts are played. Sometimes I take those other guitar elements and use them underneath instruments that are covering fills or in gaps that I find. Some of the hardest things to do is cover instruments like the fiddle and you don't have one in the band. I tend to try and rhythmically replicate something similar but "guitarize" it! Thanks for taking us behind the scenes Justin! You're a valuable asset to the guitar community!
Great feel as always Justin, to me you’re a great guitar player !
I lol’d. Called it NBC right before you did. Clear as day.
Has it really been 3 years?! While I very much enjoy the new content, it was/is the O/D episodes that first caught my attention, and keep me anxiously awaiting for the next installment...Really enjoy watching your channel grow my friend!
Less is more for sure unreal playing. We might hear this on the radio soon. No one would know you did it. You are a true gentleman sir!
So inspiring Justin!!! Those parts are so GREAT!! I love that 335, your hands probably help too :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing the process. This is really enjoyable to listen to. Cheers!
That is a great sounding song and I love your additions. I am trying to work my way through all of your old videos. They are wonderful!
I only at first listen and love it ! Minuets in yes fantastic. Lloyd Cole and the commotions ? Ish
What a cool vid. I got some great ideas from you on this vid. Thanks Justin.😎
Great balance between simple and Sophistication
That was fun!
Happy to hear that you'll continue to do these Justin - thanks for sharing!
I really notice the discipline. I tend to try to play different things at various parts of the song - mostly to make it more interesting for me to play. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I also appreciate the wide interval chords. Good stuff!
Justin, this was fun to sit back and chill on a sunday afternoon and listen in on your play thru. all your guitars sound great, but that strat is sublime, loved it
This was great to watch. It takes me days to come up with parts like that for my songs and you do it in minutes! Amazing.
I'm a very recent subscriber, and I love this kind of content. I enjoy writing and recording my own songs, and I learn so much from videos like this. We don't have to play a lot to add a lot to a song. Sounds like a Goo Goo Dolls song.
One thing I have noticed that I love about your work (and you probably mentioned this a million times) is how your parts do not always start on beat 1 or earlier with a pickup.
Your part in the Intro is terrific and really does make that Piano work much better than it would have without it.
If you have ever watched Pat Pattison from Berklee discuss lyric writing in the context of Stable vs Unstable, this would fall into the Unstable category. It is an incredibly effective technique.
Pls keep em coming.
Brian
Interesting way to think about it! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what you're doing is so on point and so brilliant. It's simply stunning!
All your videos are great, but these are my favorite!
You deserve so many more subscribers... Your channel is so awesome, so relaxing, so informative, and just a joy to watch and listen to. It calms me down. Don't stop.
Thanks a ton!
@@JustinOstrander Thank YOU 🙂
Dude - you are absolutely killing it…….. I wanna have those kind of studio chops.
This sounds great! I would totally buy this record. I love your sense of rhythm and chord choices and how you play them.
Wow. Love ur playing. The 1st hook really hook with the piano💪💪👍
Great video. I learn so much about being a better guitar player with other pickers. Most players / jammers take up too much sonic space. Keep it simple is usually the best idea.
Justin, once again, thank you! Generous of you to share. Very valuable!
i love this tune ! i think it could stand alone with your guitar play !
Love this clean sound man. It is clean but rocks!
Huge fan of the new video production style you’re taking these days keep up the good work!
Great stuff!
Great stuff. Once again you're adding so much and I can see why people want you to play on their tunes. The cherry on top for me was your ending bit.
Not being familiar with some of your voicings, I like to play along with simple piano chords to keep track of the chords you're playing over. Really helpful for me... maybe some of your peeps should give that a try (piano or guitar).
That's exactly the type of content I really enjoy 🙏😊 Thanks man for sharing, thanks for your great channel and all work implied 🙏😌
That's some serious skills you have. No doubt what you play is what they want to hear 👍🏻
I always strugling to play over 2 or 3 chords song. You did it right!
great writin and playin!
Man killer overdubs. Added so much to the tune...
Thanks for making this video Justin so helpful to improving my guitar melody understanding and also just so nice listening to your Melodic playing and beautiful tone!
These are great insight, keep ‘em coming. Oh, and killer tones/phrasing!
Brilliant playing man! Everything you play seems so inevitable, like it always belonged to the song. Trying my best to get there 🤟🏻
Thank you for the kind words!
Masterful parts Justin . so tastful!!
Creative skills right here...thanks Justin
Man those initial tele licks were awesome
Brilliant vid bro! Subbed!
You definitely made that piano part pop in just the right way. It doesn’t stick out at all as being like NBC 😂
Was that all neck pickup? Sounded absolutely lovely. Especially love the part right at the end of the chorus where it goes up on the neck and back down.
Yes it was!
Been here since you had less than 1k subscribers. I know you gotta play the RUclips game and you should, but these videos are gold! Thanks for your time, brother 😎
Thanks!
Super tasty playing as always Justin. Your sound is so good. Articlate, warm, and full. I realize 99% is in your hands.That said, I've been wanting to ask about your Chandler TG2 and the importance of this device and/or preamps in general for home recording. Wondering if you could talk about this in one of your videos. Still on the curve with home recording. I've learned a lot from you. The TG2 is out of my price range so I'm also wondering about your thoughts re: lower cost basic preamps and/or other considerations. Thank you so much!
It was the first preamp I ever bought. I have thought a lot about switching it up lately. Maybe get a lunchbox and some 500 series pres. I do dig the TG2 though. Haven’t felt the need. More of a curiosity thing at this point.
@@JustinOstrander Thank you very much for the reply Justin. If you're ever so inclined, I love to hear your thoughts on the sonic enhancements, qualities etc. that you look for in a preamp. Love seeing all the new subs!
This is awesome man. Tons of great info.
their is a band here in Australia called birds of toyko who implement a smilar inverted arpeggio sequence in one of their song's "lanterns."
Please, don't change a thing. You are on the right track.
Just thinking....T-shirt: "I've got a song here..."....i would buy it!
Very nice Justin
Man these are my favorite vids
Hey Justin, Awesome!🔥
Tele IMO is the most versatile guitar made. You get fantastic tones.
Great video Justin! The vocal melody in the session pretty much dictates everything when it comes to guitars or anything within the vocal range.
They’re always gettin in the way of my solo, dangit!
Yes, when the band I was playing for did some recording I always asked for a scratch vocal track as what the vocalist did dictated to a great extent what I would do for the song.
@@JustinOstrander Haha, yup!
Awsome video, man!
Cody Johnson uses that tuning a lot.
😊
Hi! Is the song out yet? I’d love to hear the final result
I heard a bit of organ popping around in there. It's funny how you feel about the piano notes...leading to your framing it and making almost fresh in the mix, like a marker.
I've never heard the phrase "raking diamonds" before. Maybe an idea for a video? Studio lingo?
I really love the sound of your 335...or should I say the sound of it in your hands! I'm primarily a tele guy but I always get moved by the 335 tracks. I thought these parts were really gorgeous.
Thanks dude! 👊🏼
Love your vids
Hey Justin. Great playing (and writing!) as always. Quick question: you're always putting delay and reverb bevor the amp, right? But your amp has a fair amount of dirt there. When ever i do that no matter how subtle i try to put my settings it always sounds really muddy. But with you it almost sounds like it's post it's so clear. Any tips on how you dial your delays and reverbs before a semi dirty amp would be much appreciated.
It’s always less than you would think (delay/verb mix levels, breakup of the amp, etc)
Based off of the title I thought you were going to talk about pots, switches, and tuners hahaha
Hi Justin, on your guiter parts are more important. By the way, im glad i subscribed. Can you answer this for me. I have a reissue vox and strat. What can i use to get some country sounds.
Thanks for the sub! A Vox is nice and chimey for country. I play country on a strat quite a lot. Search for that with my name. I did a video on it a while back. Lots of tips.
Do you play with the round edge of your guitar pick?? Sort of like how Guthrie Trapp plays??? I have been working on it for a smoother tone, but curious how that sounds in Nashville studios?
I’m constantly going back and forth between the point and the shoulder.
If someone working with a pedal company wanted to get you a comped drive/compressor, how can we best reach out?
Dude!!! Your ear for layering parts is phenomenal. I'm sure you've said it before... but what pickups are in ye' old biscuit??? They're super even and smooth.
Original pickups
Justin - have any of the artists that you work with in this manner ever commented on the video made for their song? Curious as to their thoughts, thanks!
Yes, some. They all think it’s super cool so far 🤷🏻♂️
Hi justin what is your favorite guitar have a wonderful weekend 😊😊😊
That 335 is to die for! I'm loving the sweet tone you got for this. How did you build that? Is it a Super Reverb or a Princeton or..?
I discuss the rig at the top of the video. Staying on my Analog Outfitters Sarge the whole time here. No OD pedals or boosts with the 335.
I feel the same way about time... the pandemic really messed us all up
Justin what is your favorite DAW and plugins? vid topic maybe?
Pro Tools is the standard in this town. I use plug-ins very rarely. I like the SoundToys suite: little plate, echoboy, etc
@@JustinOstrander TYVM that is the one I will get.
That piano sounds like a Reason patch I use. Hmmmmmmmmm
Make sure you give Justin a thumbs up on this video so that more folks will see it!
Hey Justin, when you use the Ox Box, do you always record your track in stereo?
Never. Always mono. And I turn off the OX effects and room mics. That most closely approximates how I mic a cab.
@@JustinOstrander thanks , I just picked one up and getting to know it, I enjoy your channel
Good stuff - definitely served the song well. What you were playing reminded of this great tune …
