    Mick you really are not alone in your struggle with depression. Really appreciate you being so open about it. Also it takes a lot to show your demos warts and all for us all. It was great to meet you at the Birmingham guitar show. I've been after a Strat since hearing you play live. Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated and your videos help us through our struggles. All the best, Gareth.

    Mick, I’m a military vet and now a psychiatric nurse in the states. I want you to know I’ve always appreciated your videos reviews podcasts etc etc you’ve always come across as a very confident and skilled player and presenter. However, I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in the beginning of this re your depression more than anything else you’ve done. Keep playing. Cheers.

      Thank you John, much appreciated. I guess you know better than most how important it is for us to be talking about this stuff. I appreciate that I’m not going to change the world, but I figure it’s probably the right thing to do to use this platform where we can.
      Thank you for the work you do sir. :0)

      ​@@ThatPedalShow Hi Mick, yes that is so true what you are saying. I have been in lock down for my 4th week now and have been enjoying the time to unwind and reflect on what life is for me and where do I want to go after this crisis has passed. Although, I know that we are not all so lucky. Some people are having more mental health difficulties during this time, esp those alone. I too understand the "Black Dog" and how you can get sucked into a black hole even being in paradise. My birthday is in March too! I enjoy your shows, both you and Dan! Look forward to seeing you guys back in the studio together. Take care, Steph

    Mick, you look like you're really having fun, even when you're just talking about programming drum hits. That's one of the things I love about writing and recording at home - when it's going well, it's a really edifying, enjoyable experience. Great to see you engaging with the music and expressing yourself.
    Also - I think the way you explain how the drums were done is a great description of process and workflow in DAWs for musicians (particularly guitarists) who are familiar with song writing, but unfamiliar with DAWs.
    Great stuff!

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  4 года назад +3

      Thanks Nathan. It doesn’t come naturally to me, the whole interface thing. But when I’m in it I’m in it and //really/ enjoy the focus of being lost in it. Cheers geez!

      @stevekirby7333 4 года назад +2

      You can also use the same trick with things like the hi-hats. Have multiple samples up and switch between them as no drummer hits the hats exactly the same way each time. They will also not hit them in the same place relative to the beat throughout the measure. Most often there's a pumping thing going on. e.g. Steve Jordan. Leaning forward on 1 and 3 and back on 2 and 4. In some drum machines there is a "swing function" that does this, but each drummer has a different way of displacing each drum in a pattern.

    Mick, I have to honestly say, that first snip of your tune with acoustic and vocals (around 5min mark) gave me full body chills. The one and only reason, is you captured what every genuine, and great song, and musician has in common: raw emotion. I’ve got similar issues mate, but I felt a very real mick right there and could really relate and see a common humanity. Pretty special. Now I’ll finish the video! Best of wishes

    Fantastic insight into the songwriting process. I'm a singer-songwriter first and electric guitar comes a fair way down in terms of my skill set. That said, your show has encouraged me to use it more and more as a writing tool. I know the struggles of depression and really appreciate your honesty, openess and truth in discussing your own struggle. TPS and the content you and Dan are creating is helping to keep my spirits up in lockdown so bless you for that! Thanks again, can't wait for the full song to take shape :)

    Love it, Mick. You have a lovely singing voice - it can be tough to sing “on-screen”, and it really helped understand where the track is heading. I’m two tracks into my Coronavirus EP, and loving the “no excuse not to make music” that this has provided (silver linings, for sure). So happy that you’ve emerged from your cloud and learned some strategies to stay balanced. Thank you!

    • @stanislavmigra
      @stanislavmigra 4 года назад +1

      Lots of what we hear from singers is heavily overproduced or sitting too much in the mix. Its kinda like listening to guitar from record and then stand in front of 4x12 with gunned Marshall ...

    • @25hourpartypeople
      @25hourpartypeople 4 года назад +8

      I’m not talking about the sound quality or intonation. I think reknown artist have a style/character already developed when they release a record, but “regular” people have a certain honesty in their tone that we all can relate. It’s hard to explain.

    Fascinating. I share your appreciation of drums as a guitar player, Mick. They are so important for the structure, feel and texture of a track. A truly “orchestral” instrument in that sense.

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  4 года назад

      I blimmin love drums. One of my daydreams
      is having the time and space to learn.

  • @TomMilleyMusic
    @TomMilleyMusic 4 года назад +9

    I found that my song structure writing actually improved when I learned to play drums. Some songs I've even started with the drums, which then led to an idea. I've learned there's so much dynamics in the drums, and the drums can play a harmonic/melodic role of sorts too. I know not everyone has the access, but if you can I highly suggest learning the drums.
    Also I find drums to be really good for depression. There's something about focusing on a groove that just makes everything go away. And it's physical, so after drumming for a couple hours I'm feeling good from all the energy I just let out, I can let out frustration too, and I can clear my head. And I love being able to jump into a song without knowing the chords or key or any of that.

    @dandesmith9383 4 года назад +1

    Mick you are such an inspiration. I deal with how I see or hear myself. Until recently I've always tried to build my guitar tone around what I think other people want to hear, not so much what I want to hear. It has led to being stressed about playing every show we do. In turn leads to a mild depressio3 wondering if anyone liked how I sounded. I know it sounds egotistical to want everyone to like how I sound, but it got to the point where I cared more about how I sound than how I good I play. I'm working on it right now during this down time by doing the same thing, some basic song writing and recording. It has made me want to get better hearing myself. Plus write my own songs makes me come up with my own sound. I know it's long winded but, thank you both Mick and Dan for being an inspiration. Keep it up.

    That's for sharing Mick. My old band wrote some songs in the late 2000's and worked on them in a rented non climate controlled storage unit in South Texas (yes, the heat is BRUTAL down there). We were just a group of friends that got together to have fun and create music but never got an opportunity to get a quality recording of our songs. Fast forward to today, I just finalized my very small "studio" set up and purchased an Iridium for recording my guitar (with my pedals) and Bitwig as my DAW to create a quality recording of those songs. Looking forward to more recording tips! Cheers!

The melody you found is beautiful. I've heard you sing a bit through the years and always found it soothing! Thank you for posting this vlog and for all you and Dan do for we (us?) TPS fans.

      Ah, it’s all good. It’s good to be disliked, as I’m learning in my studies. In fact one of the sources of my downs were being disliked online. Totally an ego problem. When you turn it upside down and realise the real problem is with the person doing the disliking, anger and self doubt turns into empathy for the other person. I sound like a massive high and mighty hippie, sorry. But it has been a fundamental change that started back there in Spain in 2019. Have to thank Ed O Brien for the wake up call too!

    Your rough first introduction to the song - just vocals and guitar through the overhead mic was amazing to my ears.
    Even if the song isn’t finished yet it was performed with a authentic and unique style and feel which I like a lot and which you may can capture on the recording.
    Thanks for the video I am so exited to see how it comes out at the end.

    Brilliant Mick, thanks. Currently trying to get a little set up working at home and drums have been a big question mark for me. I've really been enjoying Dan's Vlogs and yours is now another great source of knowledge and inspiration. The guitar tones at the end are gorgeous! Keep um coming please! Cheers for now, Pete

    You have a great voice and excellent note choice. Just from the little acoustic bits you played I got the feeling you could make an amazing acoustic album. Heartfelt and raw. Just beautiful. And song's not even finished yet

    I've been super down during this whole thing, I'm halfway thru week 4 of Stay At Home. I'm working from home 5 days a week (thankful to still have a job), but my weekends are the toughest. If it wasn't for my Strat, I literally don't know where I'd be and I don't really WANT to know where I'd be without it. Keep your chin up, Mick. Keep making them, we'll keep watching them.

    as someone who has the same struggles, it takes a large amount of courage to even have the conversation with someone in private let alone on you tube for the world to be a part of. Beyond that the video was very uplifting, inspiring and as usual, very informative. Thanks for sharing this.

      Thank you Wendell. I’ve always been a gobshite if you’ll pardon the expression. It was actually Dan who convinced me to start talking about. Once I had the convo with the missus in Spain, it was all a bit easier from there. All best to you sir.

    My dad loved this. He says drum programming is boring as well so he finds a good midi of a song with a similar beat and imports it as a groove into BFD3. Then he makes edits to that. When recording if it’s an intricate piece he says he slows down the tempo to about half tempo of the song and plays it in time to,the kick drum

    Thanks Mick for being open about depression..I have had depression since childhood and I have been open about it and some people are not that receptive and treat you like a freak or that something is wrong with you..but anyway like you , music really helps me..I am mainly a drummer but I do play guitar and it really helps, music has a power to heal as corny as that sounds...it definitely makes life better..anyway I love your channel and you are not alone...take care and I look forward to more content from you and Daniel.

    Very cool to see the creative process unfold. It's always interesting to hear where the inception of a song comes from, positive or negative. The real journey is turning that moment into a positive for everyone via music. Cheers from a total novice, but fan of all things TPS, from Michigan!
