Today’s guitar villain is Misha Mansoor, a key founder of the beguiling genre of Djent and an overall machine of a guitar player. Misha is the mastermind behind the wall of sound that is the band Periphery, a signature artist of Jackson guitars and BareKnuckle pickups, the founder of the excellent Get Good Drums software, and an avid sports car enthusiast. Misha is also the founder of Horizon Devices, a company featuring some truly spectacular guitar pedals like the Apex PreAmp and Flux Echo, and now, most recently, they’re making guitar strings. With that resume, you better prepare yourself, because it’s time for this episode of Guitar Villains.

Do a video on Mike Dawes , the Best acoustic Guitarist of our Generation
These podcasts are great you’re doing awesome
It doesn't really feel like a podcast and more like an interview.
@@jasonlucas8740 LOL... really? Could you define “podcast” for me since it’s some sort of very specific thing to you?
@@ImOnUToob Not the person who posted it but I can see what they're saying - a podcast is more of a freeflowing conversation as opposed to question>answer format.
I've got to say, Misha always seems genuinely excited and engaged during his interviews. He always comes off as a really chill dude who just loves guitar and music.
And cars 🚗
Misha is probably the most ideal guitar player in my eyes. Dude runs multiple companies and gets hella bread from them, is a signature artist of the best pickups ever made (don't @ me), and has pretty good guitars. It's not like I'm biased because I live in the same city he does. Nope. Not at all.
It's between misha and tosin. Both really showing how the modern rock musician thrives.
For me its Rabea Massaad. I think he has the best pickups and playing style as well as humility. I cant wait to hear where his music goes. But Periphery as a whole is on another level.
Recently bought one of the USA models with the new ragnarok set. And all I can say is... this guitar has made me hate the rest of the guitars I’ve played in the past with one or two exceptions. It’s a friggin amazing guitar.
And the pickups are rowdy as hell haha.
Two words:
Fishman Fluence
@@thestarshavefallen I've got them in my 7 string but I want a silo in my six. Or maybe in a baritone
This podcast is so fulfilling, and such a diverse and radical set of legendary guitarists! Cheers!
Great podcast, but lil Timmy Henson... not legendary.
@@MESSIAHCUSTOMS why not? at the rate he's going, he'll be there in a relatively short amount of time. (my opinion, obviously)
I second this motion.
@@MESSIAHCUSTOMS didn’t he get an award for like riff of the decade for G.O.A.T? I mean just saying, but I don’t think they give accolades like that to penisbags who ain’t got no chops.
@@MESSIAHCUSTOMS Are you like deaf or something?
Interview jimi hendrix
Ouija board episode? 🤔
If only
Contact him through a
SpiritBox lol
one to the head now you know he........
@@oriononerom7985 I see what you did there lol
I’m not even a fan of Periphery, or the whole djent thing, but for whatever reason I love hearing Misha talk. I just like his outlook on music and writing, I guess. Fascinating dude.
I wasn’t a fan but over the last year I’m totally down and I’m almost 60!
Check out their song Satellites, it's one of their most different and melodic songs as a change up to their djent sound
Misha's track on Halo 2 Remaster, Follow in Flight, is phenomenal. I have it on my driving playlist on Spotify and listen to it most days going to work.
Wait is it at the banshee section of the hermitic mission? I kinda thought that sounded very periphery like when I heard it
15:07 Victor Wooten said it best. "Music Theory is a tool and its in the trunk until we need it". No one is jamming to your knowledge theyre jamming to the groove!
“You need to learn music theory so you can play it then forget it.”- I dunno who said this was in a 90’s guitar magazine. Might have been Steve Morse- someone with a column.
Guys like Tyler jam to the knowledge lol
I would love to see this format with Paul Gilbert or Guthrie Govan
Uhhm yes! In time...
Why would either of them want to talk to an extremely average guitarist, who seems to think that having lots of followers makes him some kind of authority on guitar playing? Tyler is a massive tit. No talent whatsoever, and he has always come across as entitled and smug. There are probably thousands of talented guitarists with RUclips channels who get very little recognition. It sucks. Tyler is a bell-end.
@@dimitripop558 sucks to be you bro
@@dimitripop558 jealousy is a strange thing
@@dimitripop558 Why not? They're both very down to earth and friendly. As in not tiny, elitist Trumpalikes.
Hey Tyler, you literally started the best guitar podcast of all time. Could the next guitar villian be Tosin Abasi?
Tonewood does exist but it doesn’t matter.
There’s plenty of tonewood tests on the internet for you to try your luck at.
You’ll hear a very subtle difference, but VERY subtle, even for woods on the opposite ends of the spectrum.
Misha seems like such a down to earth, nice person. Good stuff Tyler!
I love all the villains you’ve had so far, but for me, this one was particularly awesome. The conversation seemed so much more full of substance than what I expected. Misha and yourself, Tyler, are some class acts. At any rate, great content brother.
"Witcher 3, that's pretty obscure" -- Misha Mansoor, 2020
To be fair, Eredin is an obscure villain reference. Lol most are thinking of comics or movies probably.
@@markbyrd7710 I was soo fucking surprised that Tyler even knew about The Witcher 3. As a massive fan, it made me happy
Now we need metal covers of the witcher 3 ost from Misha and Tyler
@@notoriusdrifter40 who doesn´t know the witcher?
Misha didn't even get to name which Villain he identified with, 😕
This is one of the best podcasts on the internet. Thank you for making it happen.
This was a super cool get together..it was nice to hear what Misha's take was on so many different aspects of the musical processes. As well, the questions you asked were of great relevance and I really appreciated the time you put into that process. I think if I get that Horizon Devices Precision Drive pedal, I will finally sound like Misha.
Yes! Misha is the guy that made me want to pickup guitar.
Edit: neither of these guys watched battle of gods, resurrection f, or Dragonball super. It’s upsetting 😓
Dang, this is a fresh podcast. Love the format!
Tylers video's are so well put together. Really enjoyable, keep it up and congratulations, brotha
This was super sick. Super informative without being rigid. Definitely going to catch these when they come out
Misha looks skinnier... Did he just hitting the gym?? if so, I'm waiting for him to become Misha ManSwole 💪💪💪💪💪
But his muscles are soor. If you know what I mean
I don’t understand..........
@@Elhesh Misha Man
@@chgerhardt I have just never hear the term swole before. Sounds like a dude who’s injured......... at this point I am lost.
@@Elhesh it's used to describe someone muscular in a contemporary context.
I used to think i wanted to sound like other guitarists. When i started recording it was the beginning of a slow journey to wanting to create my own identity. Periphery made me start to embrace my quirks and write what i only can. 🤘
These guests you have are really incredible. I love this series!
Really enjoying these, great work!
PS. Plini episode!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 this was so great. You seriously do your preparation and are well thought out. Very entertaining to see Misha's reaction to your
Questions you definitely impress him haha.
Misha? I'm here for it and early🤘🏾
Awesome interview, thanks guys!
Thank you for doing it with Misha. Loved this episode
Really big thank you for this type of podcast! Nice guests and nice topics! Keep on! Greetings from Germany! 🤘🏼🎸
Absolutely loving the podcast. Keep it up!
i've been playing only reptile on guitar for like 3 months now. can't get off of this song. it's like a drug. pls help.
Love when he explains burning questions before doing it on every episode
Amazing podcast, Tyler. I'm really enjoying these!
This new series ROCKS!!!
Tyler you're the best interviewer ever! Please keep making this type of videos!
Awesome podcast dude! I am looking forward to the next one!
I’m really loving this podcast man,
It’s very well done
Please try for a Brendon small guitar villains episode !!
Much love !!💚💚💚
Moments later, Krillin left us behind wearing that armor
Breeze blew me away when I heard it. Mainly because it was so close to where im trying to take my writing. Great podcast, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My new fav podcast keep em coming!
Great video Tyler and misha. I can personally vouch for the juggernaut line, absolute machines
Love Misha's honesty and humility - so refreshing from someone so very talented (even if he does not think so)
Another great video 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice to hear the mention of left/right handed playing. I am a lefty and I've played left handed for 20 something years and last week, I decided to get a cheap right handed Jackson to teach myself to play right handed. Doing pretty good so far but I tell you, if I wasn't crazy, I'd have given up already. My reason is I'm tired of being upset that no guitar I actually want, besides a Schecter Banshee Mach 6/7, is made in a lefty. I want an orange Misha Mansoor Juggernaut, a John Petrucci Majesty, a Strandberg Boden Prog (in Earth Green, looks awesome). I love this program, man!
Blood Eagle convinced me to try a 7-string, which then re-inspired me to get back into guitar. Thank you Misha.
Finally someone who mirrors my thoughts exactly. It may not even matter to play guitar left or right handed. You're learning so many new motions, simply having hand dominance may not accelerate your learning or benefit it you anyway at all. It would make an interesting study.
I listened to Periphery whole day today. Great timing
Me too
50:42 "Get Good Hands", The pluggin that emulates the hands of the guitar greats. You can already virtually select your amp head, cab, mic (+placement), effects, pick up type. Now capture the magic of the actual source of tone! *this was Inspired by Fry getting the Robot Devil's hands. Also, great episode of Guitar Villains!
Well. It was awesome, good questions, great vibe!!! Thank you
When you played and spoke with Victor Wooten on music theory, he had the same concept but said it along the lines of; "Theory is your tool box, you don't drive around with it, you use it when you need it and leave it in the trunk." Seems to be a common theme among my favorite musicians.
Dope podcast . Actually content and info too 👌 Misha is top 20 globally on guitar . He's one of this generations guitar heroes(villains) for sure
Respect to these guys, their contribution to djent for to what they're doing, but if anyone has pioneered djent it's single-handedly Meshuggah, and 25 years ago. No one comes close, and there's never been a more clear-cut line on who invented a subgenre like there could be with other subgenres.
Yup, 💯. Lot of misnomers; “Founder of djent/ggd/periphery/ad nauseam”. Let’s completely ignore Mark Holcomb and Nolly and their contributions to everything to do with Periphery in and outside of the band.
Tyler’s hubris has gotten to the point of being annoying.
"Problem solving" great take on theory, love that POV Misha
I am so mad you didnt give him a chance to say what Villian he thought he was!!!!!
My god, 6th episode already
Good interview. solid questions and some good fun.
Probably just me, but...Music is win, I've been subscribed for some time, and never been a huge fan. Well, things get better with time. New to me, This Guitar Villians format is awesome. You are a well thought out, great interviewer. This was a great show. I will be tuning in again for sure.
I feel like Drew and/or Mark from Karnivool would be sick on this. Drew has an incredible villain beard, and Mark looks like a mad scientist, plus there's so few interviews with them that really discuss anything other than gear or their latest album at the time. I'm all for that talk but at the same time it'd be nice to see a deep dive into them as musicians.
This is a good one. Nice job. Thank you
Been waiting for this one! You should try to get Per Nilsson of Scar Symmetry and Meshuggah. That guy's a f***ing LEGEND.
Amen!
love this interview
Damn! This podcast is out of this world!
Loved the episode
Just found this podcast, great now I'm hooked...
Guitar Villains: Buckethead? (and if possible, Paul Gilbert)
Heh heh. Yep
Buckethead would be awesome
really nice interview
I doubt you'll see this, but you're a great interviewer. It's refreshing to see somebody who really tries to keep it exciting and find some more interesting information about people than what usually comes up in normal interviews.
Great interview!
Really enjoyed watching/listening to this and the Tim Henson video. Great series, much cooler than other podcast style guitar related content🤘🏻🔥
Please do a John Mayer guitar villain. Thank you in advance.
Effectively a German car... glad you confirmed he meant a Lamborghini... this gives Misha cool points in my book for thinking like that!
I'm sure I'm not the only one to say this, but Tyler is a really good interviewer. He's respectful, he keeps the focus on the other guy, etc.
Very cool concept.
Uau..First John Petrucci and now Misha! Very good content, keep it up man
I like where this is headed and love your channel. Occasionally I feel like your moving on to the next question or segment too fast and leaving some good stuff on the table. As you do more interviews I bet you will relax and improvise a little more. Pulling the best guests that's for sure :)
Ever since I learned a few of the tunes off of Hail Stan, ACGFAD has been my go to tuning💯💯. Sometimes I’ll even drop the 5th string from C to D or E for a little extra razzle dazzle
From AGCFAD, tune the strings down one semitone and you’re using the same tuning as Architects.
Those weird octave tunings are insane amounts of fun and the riffs that can come from them are a blast.
Super cool idea for a video
I bet the Tosin interview is coming soon. Would also really love to see an interview with Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert.
I do not know what to coment but I know my friends are gonna see this. Music is win keep on rocking !!!
I own Bareknuckle Pickups' Juggernaut set and Aftermath set, both used by Misha. I couldn't ask for anything better. Juggernauts can do almost anything and Aftermaths are perfect for metal and you only run into limitations with it on the very low end frequencies.
And the best overdrive pedal I have ever tried is the Precision Drive. It even has a perfectly integrated noise gate in the pedal. I'm convinced everything Misha touches with guitar gear is gold. Haven't tried the preamp yet but trust it's worth it.
I loved this!
The answer Misha gave to the last question is so good!
Im glad i got to see Zyglrox live at the Summer Slaughter tour 2012
In my ears it sounded awesome!!!
I'm a left-handed person that plays normal/right-handed guitar. I feel like it makes more sense for my left hand to do the fretting
I recently came across periphery (yeah i live under a rock)...and i have been obsessed with periphery IV. This was a great episode
Same man, I actually got into them recently by stumbling upon Holcomb's playthrough of Sentient Glow
I knew about them since a bit before P III came out, but P IV is the first album that really got me, it's great.
@@clemensmoeller4549 especially satellites...those monster vocals!!
@@clemensmoeller4549 P4 got me, but the rest of the stuff is just as good.
Whenever you can work the word cacophony into a sentence it's just awesome!!!
Too bad Marty Friedman’s tone is terrible on it. I think Dave taught him some tricks.
320km in my Murcialago in Vancouver. got caught and still don't drive. this was in 2011 , took up guitar instead with my MM HT7 🤘Thanks for being so inspiring to me
Loved the vid! Would love a will swan one
Misha is my source of inspiration this days 🤘so talented
I always start with a groove, that usually takes me to where I need to go.
Cool hes self taught mr Toto creative people dont need a lot of instruction still love Toto just remembered your Toto episode
" pioneering djent" - Meshuggah has entered the chat
Yea WTF, Meshuggah doin this stuff 20years ago. Conversations about pioneers of djent without mentioning Meshuggah is just pointless
I saw this in recommended, and came here just to complain about this same thing lmao
@@jtubef8620 I'm not going to say that he didn't push the genre forward it's literally that one word pioneering
@@herocity1165 I agree
Meshuggah definitely and accidentally pioneered the genre but PerryFairy made some delicious massive leaps and strides
love the shirt bro… 🤘🏼
It would be good to see Tyler interview Mark H, it would be satisfying to see them talk about PRS guitars
Stoked that Press Enter is going to be on the Solo release.
"let's see if I can get it (this guitar) without tripping over"
Glad to know I'm not alone..
i think we can all agree that this podcast has the sickest intro music of any podcast ever
I can’t help but notice his thought that theory is a problem solver is similar to your other interview with Victor Wooten’s.
Great vid
Misha knows more about gear than the manufacturers do a lot of times. I listen to the band for inspiration and euphoria, i listen and watch the interviews for ideas and information.
