[@RiHvCaPn]

Suena como en dragon ball z en la saga de frezzer jajaj

[@josejustoreynosocarrasco5394]

@@humbertolopezdimitri2593 I thought the same as you

[@tonyjones1560]

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!

[@willwhitman717]

Tony Jones That technique would be good for some eerie black metal atmosphere. that was my first impression

[@tonyjones1560]

Will Whitman Black metal... yeah, it would definitely work!

[@hykiw4753]

yeah

[@ScarryChili]

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

[@kommontopeople]

The last technique was really cool. But creepy at the same time. It sounds more like a halloween choir singing with babies.

[@mashehorademinecraft]

Dude is the silent hill siren :v

[@senorfredericksen9895]

Sounds like a replacement for a choir if you don't have one

[@wxxxbattle]

+Señor Fredericksen it is just vibration he is pretty much hitting the same frequency and same amount of vibration as opera or choir

#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

[@jeremyrosenberger3002]

Hahahaha. Whole Lotta Love uses a theremin

[@julkitan3017]

+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.

4:36 Did I just discover the voice of a guitar?

[@jonajon91]

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.

[@arturomartin5561]

JESSY,HIDE THE METH,THEY ARE THE ONES WHO KNOCKS

[@6672rock]

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".

[@willgibsonguitar]

this is secretly buckethead teaching you

[@BrandonEht]

Will Gibson More like Jake e Lee...I’ve sounds like him in a nutshell

[@SepiaSepiaKR]

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.

[@BadGuitar]

Just listening to it right now, what a strange (in a good way) album. Thanks for the info!

[@buddyclem7328]

4:50 was terrifying and awesome! You had me ready to "shelter in place". I have to try that. Subbed.

[@NoName-pf3mr]

What! I must buy a drum stick now! most badass sound ever that could be the most epic intro ever I think I came .

[@BadGuitar]

yeah dude i needed those techniques to reduce the seriousness of the learning process thX i had so much fun :D

[@BadGuitar]

+Abdou X Glad to hear that!

[@rockicon]

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.

[@Siranonim]

Wow. In 4:37 the 12th fret sounded like some actual vocals.

[@rodrigoguadarrama1559]

Im guessing because that's a harmonic node like 7 and 5

[@nikkikay4188]

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)

[@BadGuitar]

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!

[@joedocmusic]

Yeah!! Now these are some useful noisemaking techniques! Best vid on YT. Cheers for this!

[@FirebladeXXL]

number 2 absolutely rocks. i cant wait to try it out.

[@dan_5689]

that air siren Is what I need to do live

[@gadgebecraft2402]

Yo, so for number 3, Supercoven by Electric Wizard has a solo of showing off a lot of what this can do. The uh, solo is about half the song long though, comes in around 8 minutes. Would recommend giving it a look if you still need an example. Honestly its the solo that keeps me on this song too, even for an Electric Wizard song the intro is a bit slow, but once that solo starts ripping I can't help but pick my ears up a bit. Anyway, the last half of the song has a solo going almost the whole time other then a short break. The style comes in really clear about 11:21. Have a listen

[@supermashriq]

These are fantastic, thank you.

[@BadGuitar]

supermashriq Cool, I'm glad you like them!

[@TheGreatLordTylenol]

+ExternusArmy Yeah its pretty much what makes sleep as good as it is.

[@grandmastermonk1]

Ab fantastic....thinking out of the box which is tom morellos approach to guitar as a sound source; not just something to play melody/chords etc on. very cool

[@jopmans123]

4:12 IT'S CHEWBACCA :D

[@raeko60]

lmfao

[@scr1pt0021]

#5 can also be done by rubbing a slide over a muted string (faster than with the stick). David gilmour from Pink Floyd does it on Celestial Voices live at Pompeii

[@BadGuitar]

last one is actually super useful for effects in production and in the background of a mad breakdown yooooo

[@incompertuspartiem4756]

Number 5 is sooo awesome. The Siren technic is cool :3 Is it hard to play like this?

[@BadGuitar]

+TheUnknown Patriot You have to play by ear a little bit more than usual, other than that it's very easy.

[@idealoser]

+Bad Guitar what ambience effects that you use?. Or is it just basically a distortion/overdrive with a delay?

[@BadGuitar]

+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/).

[@jobmandem9559]

The tricks with the sticks was so cool.

[@imgrim391]

Bro that nuke siren tho, holy shit thats awesome

[@Beyond_TheRedLine]

You should show up at an opera house and use the technique at 4:35

[@maryb6529]

Pretty cool - I need to play a song and don't want to use my guitar with the Floyd Rose. There was enough in here to help me get some of the sounds I need. Thanks!

[@RockstarGamer45]

Most Post-Rock artists use technique #5, they either use a drum stick or a screwdriver, but either way that trick sounds amazing

[@Orsan_]

Some artists have played live this technique using a Zippo lighter.

[@jojoqvenx]

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!

BRO THE DRUM STICK STUFF! MY GAWT

[@rodrigocvsilva9236]

Hey man. Nice vid! You asked about sbd who uses/used technique #3. 'St Etienne' from Zappa's album 'Jazz From Hell'. I don't know if you like his stuff but just find a copy of that track somewhere (you won't find it on KZbin), put your headphones on, close your eyes and listen to that improvisation. You maybe think I'm being a fool of saying this, but just do it man! (Oh, and there's the film 'Video From Hell' in which you can see Zappa himself perform it live in France, the original solo used in the record) Regards

[@BadGuitar]

+Rodrigo CV Silva Awesome, thanks for the info! Glad you like the video!

[@rodrigocvsilva9236]

+Bad Guitar I found the same technique in Zappa's 'Inca Roads', at the end of the sort of breakdown-in-halftime solo. It isn't multiple strings as you do, it's more like simple tapping melodies but with the pick hitting the board. Does that change the "rarity level?" Check it out, man!

[@BadGuitar]

+Rodrigo CV Silva Yeah I guess it's less rare, still cool though!

[@dewaynewhite2928]

thanks for taking the time to share which you didn't have to but hey thanks man, I enjoyed it and the knowledge sharing
