The most evil riff in Rock And Roll.

This is a great lesson in leadwork just wondering how do you get up the speed of those runs any tips?

I bought mine in 2013 dsl 40c and I love it

Where did you get it for that price

It's a beast.

And, let me guess? Those tubes on that metal guitar are hollow, right? Not solid.

If David Gilmour is playing two different guitars, they're both set up differently. Different electronics, different everything. So yeah, you would expect them to sound different. I absolutely cannot stand that new Gretsch he's using. That "special" sound he's talking about, is actually just weaker pickups. It ain't no Strat. And you sure as hell can tell, when he tries to play the Comfortably Numb solo on that. That made me cringe. That is just not a good guitar for Pink Floyd leads. 😬 Maybe for some of the softer stuff, but it can't replace that Strat.

Glenn has done a lot of clean examples too, since people were bitching about that. The graphs don't lie. I have a degree in electronics theory. The most difference in sound you're going to hear from a solid body electric guitar is from the electronics. And no, not pickups. Mics and speakers. You know where most of my sound comes from? My freaking pedal board, with my EQ, and my speakers. Pickups are just preamps. They really don't make that much of a difference. Unless we're talking about humbucker vs single coil. The only things that matter in pickups are how many coils, how many windings, and how strong the magnets are. That's not tone. That's all electronic variables. And everyone overlooks what's actually inside the guitar, like the potentiometers, filter cabs, etc. Let's face it, guitarists are not usually electronics guys, at all. 😆😆😆 As Glenn has mentioned, most guitars don't even know what kind of speakers are in their amps/cabs, and that is the biggest difference in tone you will ever get out of an electric guitar. ✌️ The most important pedal on my board is my EQ. Without a doubt.

Got one arriving this week. With tax, the whole thing came out to $360.

I have a clone of this amp and it's amazing. Mine even sounds good at lower volumes. Better when the master volume is above 4, of course, but between 1 and 4 still gives usable sounds.

Got a spanky new one for 175 at a pawn shop south of the border from jaurez lololol look like they didnt even plug it in as the face plate was unmarred

I'm liking this because I think a high gain amp should have also a tight crisp sound when quieter this gives the tone a wonderful ring to it that sustains, and you can really dig in and work with it. Lovely.

Still had my 8 track of All the World's, up until mid 90s Old stereo in the garage s Had a player Excellent lesson Love the debut Before and After Here Again So much riffage

It's just like a PRS

Perfect lesson , can you make a lesson about street of dreams by Guns N’ Roses ? Please

Picked one up last summer used but in mint shape for 450 bucks. It’s the only tube amp I’ll ever need. Loud enough for gigs but quiet enough for home use. Super-versatile, speaker outs, DI, looks cool, portable etc. 3,000-4,000 boutique amps are cool and maybe realistic for professional musicians or blues-lawyers, but for regular blue-collar folks the DSL checks all the boxes. Great video btw👍

This is awesome 👏 Any tabs?

You Rock Ray!

We've heard you play this TG live a few times. Great guitar, Great player! Interesting story too! Thanks Ray!

😂 2:53. Fantastic video and great playing as always.

Excellent!

This amp is badass. If it breaks I will pay whatever it costs to fix it. This is the best thing I ever bought. I love it. I don’t love things. I love this thing. Dsl40cr👍

Sounds good ! Loveit ❤

I like the tone of my dsl40c stock speaker broken in better than dsl40cr which has a frequency that I didn't like. Put a ts9 or boss super overdrive in front of your dsl40c is all you need

You have a very "winsome" aura about you and deserve more subs. I'm a new one. 😀 I got the SSS version of this in "chocolate burst" a few months back and it's my favorite guitar now. That thing just sings like no guitar I've ever played. Nice video.

Thanks for the best explanations of this I’ve ever heard…Very nice !!

Just discovered your channel Ray, it's great. You're accurate, fun and not rushed. Thumbs up!

I really like the phrygian thing

Excellent teaching method!

fun video! You are a great teacher/player! Thanks for sharing!

Subscribed!

I just stumbled across your channel, great lesson man - thanks so much for doing it ⚡

HA HA HA you put a smile on my face brother ...excellent fun man rock on exceptional relatable teacher got your self a subb and many likes👍

Wonderful song! I must say though, on the main A riff you are over-emphasizing the second G, or the last note of the riff. Listen closely to the record. He is barely hitting that note if not hitting it at all. Instead of picking that note maybe do a pull-off from the A before it. But don't pick it with equal strength as the rest of the riff. Listen again to the record. I just did.

that was awesome! Thanks for posting

Whats the scale length? Sorry if I missed it in the video.

GOT TWO....EXCELLENT RESONANT GUITAR!!! SOUND EXCELLENT TOO!!! I PUT ALL HIGH QUALITY REPLACEMENT PARTS ON MINE (EVERYTHING!) A STEAL FOR SUCH HIGH QUALITY WOOD AND PERFECT NECK CONTOUR!!!

I have no 1st finger ,lost the tendon that controls making a fist of my pointing finger, the rest are fine . Now let me be real with much modesty, I've never used pride in my music , I've been playing for about 40 years so I'm familiar with all the craziest, most ridiculous taps ,double taps, sweeping across five strings ,using scales, modes, diminished scales that would normally destroy the integrity of the piece of music. But through expireance, hours and hours and hours of making horrible racket at the age of ...about 8-15 years of age ,I learned how to emphasis a note or two in scales that brings out that mysterious hell yea . Unfortunately a skill saw found it necessary to cut half way into my left hand, cutting two tendons and leaving lots of scare tissue causing stiffness I'm all my fingers . But i tell myself that I'm a musician, so I must find that way . I've got 9 fingers still so I play . Any advice to help me get a better spread on the fretboard would be a blessing . 2 frets are now my comfortable hammer ons ect. I've learned a lot of ways to use my thumb and picking hand fingers for making them sus 7 's and a simple bar chord . Dude you play very fluent, beautiful teaching skills so I was hoping you could do a lesson without the use of that nagging pointing finger . I don't think people realize how important that finger is . Mine is just in the way now. In our shared extra emotion I ask this of you .. your friend Dave in GA. Thank you for your showmanship in helping us to rock into blues of all guitar styles

I gotta learn this one! I dig the shirt and cup. Got my shirt, everybody go get yours! Thanks Ray.

I bought mine at Sweetwater new for $399 back when the 40cr came out I love it need nothing more

Hi Ray, great vid on the often overlooked 2204, and thanks for showing us the clean tones. Something that's not often showcased but the 2204 does it well. CHEERS!

Wayne Campbell voice - “Excellent!”

I really enjoyed this tutorial. It's harder than I thought but I'll get it.

Finally found a video showing all that one needs to know ! Thanks !

In the UK we have the DSL 402 , it’s a 2x12 special edition of the 40CR and it’s great and cheap I got mine new for less than a 20

Well it's now 2024 and it looks like the used ones are $500 or more

I found the DSL100HR head for $500 . I had about 2 years playing on it and had to have a little work done on it. New tubes an the work was about $300. So Im only in to it for $800 total to this day and its a KILLER amp! He replaced all the capacitors in it and its like new again. I nearly bought this amp you have. I was happy I waited. Both are great amps though. I just like bigger amps more. But it sounds great and I am sure that amp is more than you need for home.

The DSL40C had a few bugs... Which we're addressed in the DSL40CR. (I think the C has a 70/80 speaker? The CR has the newer V Type Celestion). I love my CR. I use it as a practice Amp. Mostly I go through my Fractal Audio Axe Fx 3. But sometimes I just want that classic Marshall roar!
