That first trick with the drumstick sounded straight-up *haunted*! I can see folks running out of the room if you pulled this under the right conditions. I GOTTA learn it!
+Διονυσης Κανακης pfft, you think that's bad? I play drums not guitar! Made the mistake of trying to do this and now I have to pay a $10,000 fine and relocate to Czechoslovakia -_-
+aceinyoface96 Czechoslovakia doesn't exist for dozens of years... it's just Czech Republic now and separate Slovakian Republic. Ever went to geography lessons? :D
#5 is what jimmy page does with a violin bow during dazed and confused and whole lotta love and during solo parts/breaks during live performances during his Zeppelin days
+Alex Berry Well it looks the same because it's a "bowed" string way of playing, but it's a different technique, Jimmy played with a violin bow only around the bridge pickup while left hand was gripping differents chords shapes on the neck to change sounds, his intention was to deliver nice psychedelic strings sounds with lots of hamornics, but hard to control in terms of notes/intonation, and lot of feedback involved cause it required lots of gain to make it possible, this #5 technique here shows the left hand is muting the strings from the nut to avoid resonances, while right hand is bowing the stick on the string to create the sound and moving it above the fret he wants to control the note aspect, and reaches the ones he wants, so he has perfect control about the note/pitch he plays and with practice you can play any tune you want! So they are not the same technique in my opinion, and the "artistic" intentions and sonic results are different too.
On a guitar with a wammy bar, Play the low E string and bend a note on the A string. It pulls the bridge closer and you get a reverse pitch bend on the low E.
That 1st technique has been around for a while. Joe Perry used it on Aerosmith's "Train Kept A Rolling" and Bob Kulick used it when he cut the lead on the Kiss song "All American Man". I believe Mick Mars of Motley Crue used it too. #2 seems like a variation on Eddie Van Halen's tap harmonics. My favorite was the air-raid siren with the drumstick. It sounds like the siren on the intro of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs".
Some of those techniques are alot of fun. They make nice compliments to any contemporary musical piece. A sense of humor helps too! After all, I have been playing for over fifty years and I still use an old sock for a capo.
Wow. That drumstick... You got the Lady of the Lake to come forth through that guitar! (Excalibur movie reference). I REALLY enjoyed this and I learned...well...several new things!
If I recall correctly, the guys from Idiot Flesh had an album(The Nothing Show) recorded where several of the guitar tracks were played entirely with drumsticks, mentioned on the album's line-up/instrumentation as "percussion guitar". Their approach was different from yours, but produced some real aggressive, gritty sounds. It's something I'd highly recommend for anyone interested in the avant-garde and experimental music.
My man, this is AMAZING lesson, thank you so much! I couldn't even imagine I can make these sounds with a drumstick! Alarm tone, just wow. You're awesome! Also, I've spent half of video figuring out where have i heard fourth lick. Extremely familiar to "Run Through the Jungle" intro, and this wobbly harmonic is mindblowing)
Nikki Kay Thank you very much! Someone else mentioned Run Through the Jungle before and while it's not the same exact technique, it does sound similar to me too. Glad you like it!
+Ricardo Barata First trick to learn after tapping ist sticking the pick to your forehead to get it back quickly when you need it... might not work with alzheimers
That was WILD! Honestly I subscribed after just two seconds watching this crazy intro. And I'm no guitar player. But I know a good youtube channel when I see one. This qualifies as such. Keep up your good work!
Awesome!!! Just loved this vid. By the way, when I heard that siren alarm I was like 'holy shit is this a real guitar?' It just remembered me Tom Morello and his custom guitar lol
Best guitar video on RUclips. Thanks for the awesome upload from what looks like an awesome dude! Will keep these tricks in mind for future sound design techniques :) much love
Tried the 5th trick and now Samael and Lilith are in the living room watching TV and eating all the stuff in the fridge and they won't go away! Damn you!
+Tommy DJ Horror Film, they're called Horror Films for fucks sake, it's in it's own genre. I was born in 1990. There's more to this world than just movies you've watched you vagina.
That was amazing. I did the last one and all the vats from the neighbourhood gathered outside my house. Also there's a portal open now on my basement, and i don't know how to fix it. Any riff suggestion?
+idealoser Random VST stuff. I typically use RoomMachine 844 for guitars. The one at 4:36 and the police siren sound was distortion, EQ and a convolution reverb "Cavern" IR of Samplicity’s Bricasti M7 Impulse Response Library (www.samplicity.com/bricasti-m7-impulse-responses/).
I've been playing for a long time. I feel silly saying this but holding harmonics while tapping & using a drum stick or any other object for that matter as a bow never entered my mind. LOL, either way. Great video pimpin.
Many of you have asked for more, so here's part 2:
ruclips.net/video/oP9phUoVTPc/видео.html
Is there a part 3?
Yisra'el 'psykaba' yitzchakq Not yet.
Bad Guitar Looking forward to part 3 than.
I like the 5 one the best
+Jimi7hendrix Jimmy Page I like it to its so amazing like if you agree
That air raid siren was fucking perfection.
+DaveDexterMusic Right? I can't believe how accurate that was.
+Jared Wilkerson I had scrolled down to look at the comments before he did it and thought he had edited in a sound effect!!
+DaveDexterMusic here in TExas it is not airraid its get the fuck outside to film the tornado
+DaveDexterMusic gave me fucking goose bumps
yeah
4:37 sounds like an opera singer
RavionUltimate that's what I thought.
Suena como en dragon ball z en la saga de frezzer jajaj
@@humbertolopezdimitri2593 I thought the same as you
Fact: Guitar + Drumstick = Theremin.
+xThe_noJx *XD*
Or a "e-bow"
Guitar + Violin bow = Jimmy Page
+Kim Deal Or No Deal?
Yes!
Guitar + teeth =jimi hendrix
I was watching this with my grandpa, 5 gave him war flashbacks

That first trick with the drumstick sounded straight-up *haunted*! I can see folks running out of the room if you pulled this under the right conditions. I GOTTA learn it!
Tony Jones That technique would be good for some eerie black metal atmosphere. that was my first impression
Will Whitman Black metal... yeah, it would definitely work!
Will Whitman black metal? thafuck? nope!
Psychodelic music though, now we've got something.
+Ridley On Steroids Psychedelic*
Ridley On Steroids That's just, like, your opinion, man...
All of these are really cool, but what impressed me the most was the fact that you could make the sound of a choir, just by using a drumstick 0.0
4:12 chewbacca
Way too complicated , got my guitar stuck in a tree and lost 3 Lego sets.
ikr tried the drum stick and then next you know my house is on fire. :(
***** I now have my toilet on fire and my TV is opening and closing.

The last technique was really cool. But creepy at the same time. It sounds more like a halloween choir singing with babies.
Dude is the silent hill siren :v
Sounds like a replacement for a choir if you don't have one
+Señor Fredericksen it is just vibration he is pretty much hitting the same frequency and same amount of vibration as opera or choir
what's the trick on the last one wanna creep the hell out of my friends cx
This is a national broadcasting announcing the beginning of the annual purge.
5th is quite fckn cool to be honest

Did I just discover the voice of a guitar?
On a guitar with a wammy bar, Play the low E string and bend a note on the A string. It pulls the bridge closer and you get a reverse pitch bend on the low E.
Jonathan Keeler Good tip, thanks for sharing!
4:50 was terrifying and awesome! You had me ready to "shelter in place". I have to try that. Subbed.
# 5 is really awesome!!! I just love it. Like a ghostly sound or a sepulcral melody. I'm gonna try it just right now!!!
Cheers!!!
4:51 oh shit, it's the cops

What! I must buy a drum stick now! most badass sound ever that could be the most epic intro ever I think I came .
Hatake Kakashi Cool! Meanwhile, try a screwdriver if you have one, it works too.
Bad Guitar Thanks! gonna try it now!
Dude, that air raid siren sound is TERRIFYING and spot on! Nice work.
4:50 It sounds like a nuclear alarm siren. It's really incredible!!
yossy2827 I'm glad you like it!
0:03 looks like some random smartphone alarm clock tone
Wow. That drumstick...
You got the Lady of the Lake to come forth through that guitar! (Excalibur movie reference).

00xanawolf00 Haha, awesome! Thanks for watching!
The first part of playing with the drumstick; Perfect for a horror movie soundtrack. Love this video thanks man.

5th : Are you fuckings Insane ?
+Mehmet Cumhur Getting there...
That's a Thurston Moore from sonic youth technique he does it live and gets some of the coolest sounds I've ever heard

+Mike Draijer I use my D
+Mike Draijer Lol my strings are rust my Dick is now gangrene. :(
the wah effect is remarkable and the drum stick effect . . thanks for sharing
Instructions too complicated, got my amplifier stuck in garage door
😂😂😂
+Mat Loyal have you tried plugging it out and on again?
Oh god
have you tried kicking it? works everytime for me
Really? The sledgehammer works every time and it also made it sound much better.
I didn't even know that it was possible to replicate an air raid siren on a guitar. Loved the video. :3

That was WILD! Honestly I subscribed after just two seconds watching this crazy intro. And I'm no guitar player. But I know a good youtube channel when I see one. This qualifies as such. Keep up your good work!
+Johan Brodd Thank you!
Wow. In 4:37 the 12th fret sounded like some actual vocals.
Im guessing because that's a harmonic node like 7 and 5
+Rodrigo Guadarrama indeed
Your caption at the end it absolutely hilarious.
I'm thinking i might have more friends using some of these great techniques!!
Thanks for sharing!
"If you still have friends after those tricks" 😂😂😂😂😂
I can't believe. This last technique Really work?
Yes

You can hear all of these in a single Buckethead studio album, amazing
The last technic became my favourite! Thanks
Amazing techniques, especially the drumstick one( I'm really amazed with that). Great video!!!

last one is actually super useful for effects in production and in the background of a mad breakdown yooooo
3:07 how to tune your Guitar to Kmacaveli the lyrical machete's new fangled tuning 'Drop Z'
I can't be the only one to think of Silent Hill when hearing the fifth trick. But I love it. Shows how many different sounds a guitar is capable of!
the trick no. 5 feels like a insidious soundtrack, scary shit.
Awesome, right?
+Tommy DJ Sounds Like Echoes from Pink Floyd ^^
+Tommy DJ Horror Film, they're called Horror Films for fucks sake, it's in it's own genre. I was born in 1990. There's more to this world than just movies you've watched you vagina.

+Obinu Maxime (Martaryos) hmm I never heard pink floyd song before, but I will hear it soon. thx

Number 5 is absolutely amazing o_O
Bro that nuke siren tho, holy shit thats awesome
The air siren one with the drumstick sounded real
Good for improvisation. thank you for this sir. you should make a part 2.
4:12 Oh... Hi Chewbacca...
Amazing!
AndyPiraka Haha, so I'm not alone. My first thought when I played that was "hey, that sounded a little bit like a wookie!"
The tricks with the sticks was so cool.
These are fantastic, thank you.
supermashriq Cool, I'm glad you like them!
BRO THE DRUM STICK STUFF! MY GAWT
4:12 IT'S CHEWBACCA :D
lmfao
The tornado siren was awesome i want a loop of you doing that over and over again
I like sound when you use drum stick and play like violin. but little bit scary
Aksa Faisal Affandie tremin
awesome effect with the drumstick ! great video man!
4:16 literally sounds like stuff off of The Song Remains the Same
Wow , I thought I was the only one that used my sock to dampen the strings !!
Great vid man. Thanks.
That was amazing. I did the last one and all the vats from the neighbourhood gathered outside my house.
Also there's a portal open now on my basement, and i don't know how to fix it. Any riff suggestion?
Cats, not vats, LOL.
+alphajames33 Same!!
I did it backwards and now the portal is closed

The drumstick trick sounds like something Keldian would do. Sci-fi power metal. Great band, highly recommend
I heard some spiritual being is singing inside a deep dark cave at ending.
The last one was very Godspeed-ish and I like it a lot
If I could like it 5 times, I would!! You play a baaad guitar, dude! haha
Most Post-Rock artists use technique #5, they either use a drum stick or a screwdriver, but either way that trick sounds amazing
Some artists have played live this technique using a Zippo lighter.
LOVED number 5!!!!!!!! will definitely use this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:12 reminds me of thourgh the fire and flames
Impressive. I'd never actually try to use these, but they are impressive.
Time to go steal a drumstick from my brother
lmfao That one where you put the socks on the guitar was perfect
4:30..... just....idk....beatiful but creepy but awesome!!!!!!
Wow that drumstick technique is awesome
Number 5 is sooo awesome.
The Siren technic is cool :3
Is it hard to play like this?
+TheUnknown Patriot You have to play by ear a little bit more than usual, other than that it's very easy.
+Bad Guitar what ambience effects that you use?. Or is it just basically a distortion/overdrive with a delay?
+idealoser Random VST stuff. I typically use RoomMachine 844 for guitars. The one at 4:36 and the police siren sound was distortion, EQ and a convolution reverb "Cavern" IR of Samplicity’s Bricasti M7 Impulse Response Library (www.samplicity.com/bricasti-m7-impulse-responses/).
number 2 absolutely rocks. i cant wait to try it out.
I've been playing for a long time. I feel silly saying this but holding harmonics while tapping & using a drum stick or any other object for that matter as a bow never entered my mind. LOL, either way. Great video pimpin.
