Great review. My biggest issue is trying to pick a colour. Does the Ivory come across more cream or white?
@SeanPierceJohnsonКүн бұрын
@@SWatchik it really depends on the light. White guitars are almost entirely influenced by the light that surrounds them. So some times it’ll pick up warmer tones, others cooler. It most definitely it white but can come across cream in the right circumstances

Thanks for handling this topic (Larry here)! I appreciate the simplicity, methodical approach, and also putting speed in a musical context rather than it being an end in itself. Also appreciate your transparency - I have heard top players and teachers refer to themselves as lifelong students... such an important emphasis to free us from expectations that squelch our progress and enjoyment. Would appreciate a corresponding video on how to get faster at strumming: example songs would be Pinball Wizard by The Who, and Malaguena by Roy Clark.

Great demo. You’re really getting the best out of the pedal. I recently purchased it and I’m very happy. I mostly prefer playing on the BB settings, and it works phenomenal with stacking pedals into it. On my rig, though, I do not care for the buffered bypass. It sounds slightly muffled and a little darker. I prefer the true bypass tone. Awesome though that Keeley made it so easy to switch between the two. Cheers!

The notes you play are irrelevant, if you want to learn to play fast, you have to play a lot. But remember the golden rule slow equals fast.
@SeanPierceJohnson12 күн бұрын
exactly why i say start with the metronome slow and then do the higher rhythmic values. clean 16th notes @ 75bpm are way more impressive than sloppu 16ths @ 100bpm
@LP-12312 күн бұрын
I hear/read so much conflicting information on this point. Some folks say practicing slow is contradictory to playing fast - that you should try playing fast, if sloppy, and work your way to clean at that higher speed. Sigh. I've been playing forever, and while I have, I daresay, an expert command of the fretboard (in terms of knowledge), I've always wanted to be faster. But it feels out of reach - maybe I am just not willing to practice that stuff enough to get there.
@SeanPierceJohnson12 күн бұрын
@@LP-123 personally, I don't see any way you could improve speed picking by always practicing fast. i truly believe the athletic approach works because that's what I did: start slow, get clean, increase. As I said in the video, you DON"T BENCH 200lbs THE FIRST TIME. That could result in injuries. Same is true with guitar. Play fast with bad form? You get slop. I don't know who these guys are that say "always practice fast" but the professionals (ie. the ones earning a living) that I studied under gave me this advice and it worked out great for me.

I’m assuming you scooped the mids for your tone? I hear lots of people play the presets and most if not all sound amazing but for sure have some mids in there. These seem very crisp. Good stuff 🤘🏼

Yeah, why you see on screen is the settings I’m using. I really dug the plug-in but I also think the mids comes from some of John’s preferred mics they put in, of which there are quite a few ribbons. But it’s a great plug-in.
