Have you ever tried a bass guitar for Ambient?

Something about PRS guitars for me... I know they're well made and a lot of people like them, but every one I've ever played hits me with a "nope this is not for me" vibe.

So, is this the tuning Frank Gambale uses?

I love this guy! He's freaking awesome! 🤘🤣❤️

Excellent approach canceling the two.

Huge thanks! I’ve been struggling after reconstructive wrist surgery. I’ve had to get creative and play outside my normal style.

I was sure you were going to crank some baritone w/ fuzz. 😮

Well, none of them sucks actually (* hello, clickbait! 👋😁) - on the opposite! But the headless Ibanez and the Eric Johnson Strat had the most appealing tone to my ears.

Fantastic!!

This is the most Vini Reilly you've ever sounded 😊

Thanks, very helpful!

Bill, this is exactly what I needed. Friday bliss ✌️😌🎸

Absolutely fantastic sir!!

This is amazin'! You can tell it's spur of the moment. Organic music is the best music ✌

Man that sounded MAGICAL! I’d love to see more videos about ways to explore with this tuning!

Can you please show us how to turn on the tap tempo?

I did buy a Guild Jumbo Junior to switch into Nashville Tuning. Many happy hours of new creation, not quite ambient as you, but enjoyable drone meditations. Multiple Capo setups help create new material as well. My bandmates are quite conventional. Church is also a joy, but tends not to bend the traditions. So, it's wonderful alone time with devotions. You know.... alone, but never alone... ref. Larry Carlton. Nice piece today!

Wonder how this would play with a normal guitar... actually, this would be a fairly easy patch on the SY-1000, user alt tuning and jack those strings up +12.... hmmm....

Very cool idea!! Cheers Bill!

Beautiful Bill, I’ve always wanted a baritone since I first started watching your channel many years ago Still on my list to get. I have since made a channel myself. My strymon pedals attributed to you as well haha Thank you for the inspiration and music through the years. I am grateful for your videos.

Do you have an album of this on Spotify? If so which one is it?

Will you be posting any more tutorials I wonder? This is stunning.

You almost bring the most immaculate vibes, Bill.

Stupidly expensive.

Those seem like pretty small issues, I'm buying one.

I love this idea. Thanks

Beautifully played!

I think you should play some soft, ethereal, melodic ambient guitar with that tuning! (And where can I get a capo like the one you have on the second fret?)

Handsome man. ❤

Lovely Music as always Bill!

They all have unique nuances and every one of them sounds great in the hands of a master. Absolutely love this piece of music. I hope it’s something that will appear on your next album. Beautiful!

As a sound engineer the 432 was indeed harmonious.. 440 sounds like horror scream (the harmony)

so inspiring, thanks!

The only monster in your basement studio are your monster tones and playing! 😄

Do you think a ukulele would be able yo do ambiant music?

This has actually happened to me :)

Bill baritone or 7 string for lower ambient octaves?

That was almost the setup for a horror movie 😆

How many times have you accidentally left your delays oscillating?

Sweet but ominous. It takes some time before you tame that one.

Wauw

I like the original pitchfork which may give a slight boost to the dry. While the plus slightly sounds darker.

Stramunal kapistan?😂❤

The main thing about pitch shift pedals is tracking even if you're playing like Yngve Malmstein. The Boss OC-2 greatly failed at that while the TC subnup focused on that in the design. The Brainwaves sounds great. Does the pitchfork track as well as the subnup? The pitch fork plus has a slight and I mean slight volume drop with a very almost unnoticeable shadow over the tone. Not enough to maybe consider unless you're a tweak nerd.

version 1 just felt better

that ambient monster never sleeps

LOL! Was it recorded?.......

Oooooo. Didn’t know where to turn. All I know is…… I need more guitars!!!!

Hahahaha - I have a song about something similar: There’s a Horse in the Basement

Haha whew!
