7 Weird (But AWESOME) Noises To Make On Electric Guitar! - From Farm Animals To GOJIRA!

[@perryswift9378]

You can't do that harmonic run without be thinking that you're going to play White Wedding afterwards.

[@SiCutler]

Yep, 100% heard White Wedding 🤘

[@ThePopeNuker]

Or Motley Crue - Take me to the top

[@jeanpierre5941]

Zero smashing pumpkins

[@persic3287]

SOAD - Suite-pee

[@MelforceX]

Easiest way to get weird noises from your guitar is to get someone who has never played the guitar, to play it.

[@rockandrolleracdc]

Theres a different between weird and bad 😂

[@ethankirk9279]

I tried to teach my dad to play smoke on the water and he accidentally did a pinch harmonic and couldn't teach me how (I didn't know at the time)

[@Jerry_Fried]

There's a movie technique in which the camera moves forward on a dolly while at the same time the camera zooms out. When it's timed correctly, the subject remains stable in frame, but the perspective of everything in the background changes. It's called a dolly zoom. The Paul Gilbert technique of sliding up the neck while lowering the pitch with the whammy bar is the sonic equivalent of the dolly zoom, so if you're looking for a name for the sound, I'd call it the Gilbert Dolly Zoom.

[@jeffbeck6501]

I think you coined the term dude. It's a Paul Gilbert Dolly Zoom.

[@justy256]

I saw the call to name the noise and thought "Great! Writing opportunity! I needn't have bothered- you've nailed the perfect analogy :)

[@cory0814]

Mick got that motorcycle sound from the Montrose song "bad motor scooter" I believe. Ronnie Montrose was very underrated himself. A young Sammy Hagar was the singer.

[@mark240862]

I was going to mention this as well... I have seen an interview with Sammy Hagar where he said it was him that did the motorcycle part with a slide.

[@youeyeball]

@@mark240862 hmmmm🤔, Personally, I have to believe, that was Ronnie Montrose, by his 🎸 lonesome, ...💯%❕ p.s., ... I've seen Montrose, many times in S.F., live.. the dude was 🤘awesome🤘🎸❕

[@paulburton5150]

Another favourite is the pull the D string over the G string at the 5th fret then pluck them together to get a chiming bell sound perfect for the start of Hells Bells

[@charlieparradelriego]

Man this was so fun to watch and learn! You're always crushing the strings with so much style and charisma. Keep it brother Dagan 🙌🏼❤️!!!

[@DaganWilkin]

Dude, thank you! 🤘⚡️

[@austingiess6146]

bro i watch your mr crowley solo every day it's insane 🤘

[@aristoshd]

Positivity of Dagan just have charged my laptop without even plugging it in...

[@SensibleJones]

Dagen the one you couldn't name was a Joe Satriani one that he called 'putting your hand down a Lizards Throat'!!!

[@seanmoran4087]

That natural finish Kramer is gorgeous

[@davidozab2753]

Here's one I used to do a lot: paper clips on the strings. Sounds like detuned gongs. Add delay and reverb. Ooh, mystical!

[@benzevl]

The elephant sound was from Adrian Belew early 80's using a Kahler trem..

[@jalmodov7817]

This will give me hours of experimenting fun! Thank you, Dagan!

[@johndelzoppo8090]

Love the Gojira noise

[@KurtS5150]

EVH Horsie and Elephant are the classics that never get old!!!! love it

[@ricjenner1120]

Jonny Greenwood gets a cool tone using the side of a coin w grooved edge(I use a quarter here in the US) to make a violin-type sound - different from an eBow.

[@BenAck912]

2:55-2:58 I call that The Tom Morello Noise.

[@southerntrendkiller2632]

I’ve become quite fond of this channel. You’re like the Russell brand of guitar videos. You’re a very animated character.

[@Coochiedestroyer23]

Eww don’t insult this man like that.

[@dorfsteen]

Here's one you missed it's really easy and you don't need a tremolo the bird sounds in Freebird Gary rossington you use your slide and just rub it on the high E string with lots of distortion you can do cat calls, whistles and everything

[@thedarkwolf1392]

I WANT THAT ILLUSIONIST SWIRL KRAMER SO BAD!!!

[@thedarkwolf1392]

I also like the Viper Baretta!

[@badassYJ69]

Dude, you are always so motivating to make me want to pick up a guitar and just have fun🤘

[@terryclark7700]

Brilliant, time to go scare the cat!

[@Gronnbuse]

Dagan is my new guitar hero, awesome

[@sethhodder7933]

Lotta fun. Thank you. Re: the Motor bike. I think Ronnie Montrose was way onto this before the Crew. Check "Bad Motor Scooter" from the debut album by Montrose. For guitar/theremin action try the sublime "Space Station #5'.

[@thedonbros]

An easy one. Running with the Devil intro to strum behind the nut :-)

[@lenbones7940]

Best noise on this vid.. the elusive brit talking quickly bahahaha

[@MRX-ur7kf]

This is one of your top best videos of yours, bro!!

[@JordanPurcell92]

Great video, love the choices you included and the fun attitude 🤘

[@oldsledpurgatory3595]

Loved this! Long before I could actually play a real note I would do this kind of stuff for hours and drive everybody crazy.

[@rocktorrocks]

I like the sound when doing hammer ons and pull offs on one of the top 3 strings, either the E, A, or D string, and simultaneously sliding the palm of my picking hand up and down the fretboard on that string.

[@simonhouel1984]

The Zakk Wylde dive !

[@daro9582]

The best use of bending behind the nut is the solo in “the wayside” by Tyler Bryant and the shakedown IMO

[@themigustyle]

Hellecasters - The beak the claw is another masterclass in that

[@GuitarAddict101]

9:05 I'd name that as the 'Wurgle-gurgle' LOL!

[@Jackchalm]

I've been playing for years and I've always loved weird tricks but I had no idea you could play music from your phone through the guitar! I've even used an E-Bow and this still blew me away!

[@gavinreeves2624]

You blew my mind when you did the phone pick-up thing🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@SpeedSloth]

The Satch squeal where he plays a pinch harmonic on an open string and then pulls the whammy bar with his left hand should be here.

[@gangrenebob7281]

LOL that was awesome and refreshing. James Iha from the Pumpkins and Steve Stevens has one of those old school toy ray guns with all the weird FX that he holds on his pickups....

[@garyscott4760]

9:00 Joe Satriani calls it choking the lizard

[@HellaSooner]

Great job! Outstanding video. Should be more like this, by everyone else. Best way to learn is to watch and steal everything! Lol. Then make it your own!

[@dylanpaterson7612]

When you flip that toy can and it makes that "eeeeaawww" noise

[@eti313]

I didn't know Human League was a guitar band. Oh, wait, you said Herman Li? LOL. Hey, you taught me a few new tricks, thanks!

[@rew4772]

Nice

[@leonskum.5682]

The Gojira noise thing sounds weirdly like a phased effect. I wondered what the heck he was doing/using at first!!!!

[@kkzooi]

@ 4.40 reminds me of the start of the song white wedding by billy idol

[@dylanpaterson7612]

Matthew Followill from Kings Of Leon Screams into his pickups in Closer

[@georgiosvavliaras1066]

Thank you friend!

[@xavierdavid6038]

Thanks dagan for the the tips ad I gonna definitely try this and they sound too crazy 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@kbowen2251]

This is an awesome video idea!!!

[@paulburton5150]

Lots of fun…but surely Montrose should get the credit for the motorbike sound. Bad Motor Scooter 1973

[@RoryO_O]

9:25 sounds like that toy tube that goes woooooyyyyyaaaawwwwwooooyyyaawww

[@usagi2988]

Dagan, yer a goddamn prince... love your videos, my friend.

[@serenemachine9110]

I call that noise that Paul Gilbert did the "Cat in heat" noise.

[@imyrhuckleberry]

Another cool one similar to Mick’s motorcycle is the NASCAR sound. Harmonic on the low E and A strings at 7th fret, start like the Elephant with bar down and volume off. Raise bar and volume together and intermittently take the bar down and back up in short strokes like changing gears.🤘🏼(sounds like a race bike on 5th fret and throatier on 12th)

[@rl6470]

The Paul Gilbert one should be called “ The Wailing Cat”

[@BotsWeekendCovers]

This was a fantastically fun video to watch. You are a killer player and have GREAT camera personality!

[@Bigwoody95826]

Good fun-:) I got to practice!

[@drewbaisden3475]

Holy hell this is fantastic. And Human League too, greatness.

[@SWhorton]

I’ll be adding ‘tickle your pickle’ to my everyday vocabulary

[@jeffbeck6501]

Bending behind the nut will make you need a new nut very quickly. You might be able to get close to it by pushing down on the back of the tremelo, as if you were pulling up on the bar, and then letting it back down.

[@nancypantz]

Another great sound is my neighbor knocking on the wall and shouting "what the fu*k bro?"

[@ananthkashyap4854]

Horse n Elephant...wowwwww❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ricksorber9562]

The horse will make your hair stand up when its done right. Its intense.

[@kramdog3000]

I think the Paul Gilbert one should be called the “Cat Purr.”

[@tarantulabebe1078]

I would call the one at 9:14 "giving my cat a bath"

[@hball6695]

my best larfs of the week! thanks, Dagan!

[@geoffdillon6013]

It was Todd Rundgren who first did the motorbike sound on bat out of hell in 1977. What a unknown guitarist of the 70’s and 80’s that does not get credit. But…. Certainly did it before the guy you’re talking about

[@paultreneary]

And straight into the solo in single take IIRC

[@enzomiguel7373]

You missed the Seagull noise made with the Wah pedal, that David Gilmour invented and used in Echoes

[@SiCutler]

Genuinely laughed at R2-D2🤣. On the motor bike noise, there's a video of bat out of hell where they isolate that track where the guitarist goes from the motor bike, strait to a solo. Its EPIC !

[@Dhakadice]

8:44 sounds like a cat...or perhaps a ROBOT cat! Me, I had this sound I used to call "the seagull" (pinch harmonics with a high-rate phaser).

[@davidozab2753]

Was trying to remember the 'elephant harmonics.' Thanks!

[@seagullpoet]

Outrageous !

[@mcsquared981]

Have you considered any Adrian Belew? Thinking King Crimson, albums like Beat and Discipline.

[@ElectricArtist]

I swear I was talking to dagan when I went to pmt in Newcastle Great stuff dagan!!

[@smbmxdirt3427]

Your videos are dope!

[@anarchychris]

8:48 PG and Jelly!

[@noi5emaker]

I'm pretty sure your neighbours and office mates have given up wondering, Dagan :) Fun stuff, as usual! :D

[@Marcelo_B_159]

Missing the magnificent Dimebag squeal!

[@maxmustardman298]

Brad Gillis also does the Mick Mars gear shift, but his is a Ferrari ;)

[@kelsawyers3597]

U forgot the race car. Kelly Johnson from Girlschool did on c'mon let's go. But awesome bro thanx for sharing

[@jamesparker384]

Second to last sounds like what I imagine a goat sounds like if it is drowning. The drowning goat noise.

[@dustinbrummett3774]

That guitar is sick

[@trroland1248]

This was a grear Kramer advertisement (mostly). :)

[@dionedjericon8415]

The chewy sound for the second last one

[@lenbones7940]

Keep up the good work your an inspiration for all of us dudes who simply refuse to cut our hair in a manner society deems as acceptable

[@charliesullivan1886]

i love it! Eddie was the man. Keep up this good work Dagan, rock on bro!

[@JKM395]

You have the best job in the world.

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Great video man... there's one other trick I learned using a drum stick... like you might imagine Jimmy Page using a bow... but it makes a ghostly sound, kind of like a theremin! Try it out!!! Oh wait... I forgot the Great Eddie Van Halen and his Pound Cake Drill Sound that Brad Gilbert later used, as well as the beer can scrapping on the strings by the bridge for the Everybody Wants Some and Intruder sounds... not to mention, the hammer-on & tapping pulls that changed rock guitar forever! EVH was the GOAT when it came to guitar sounds, effects and mods! Also, one of my favorites... the Ray Gun effect by Steve Stevens... oh, man, another the scratching effects and use of the Whammy pedal by Tom Morello... some killah, cool sounds too! There could be a whole new video on these!!!! Rock on Dagan! 😎🤘🎸

[@Deadhansome]

Haha. Brilliant! Definitely gonna try a few of these

[@christschin3708]

I did the Elephant trick once. Now I’ve got to report to the Police.

[@crimzontide3487]

4:40 i think i just found the white wedding intro by billy idol

[@MikeLee-lg5vq]

This guy has had ALL of the coffee. ALL of it.

[@bubbba4945]

Dagan that's Cool stuff man, in part 2 can you do the Steve Vai thank you very much, way too cool. You're the Dude, Mr. Dagan!

[@Ironbrood4426]

Great stuff Dagan.

[@crazyoldgooseman]

remember the muffled legato harmonics while you rub up and down the strings,? First heard Eddie do it on somebody get me a Doctor?

[@elliottclark1340]

8:40 The Angry Cat Per

[@bupren]

you mentioned farm animals but missed a typical farm animal--- flying PIGS, on wings & DOGS on acid!! ANIMALS man!

[@nocturnal101ravenous6]

Neil Young's Firebird pickup(Bridge) in Old Black was so microphonic it would pickup people talking. I would love to see what a cell phone can do with something like that. Also it would be interesting to see what Danse Macabre, twilight of the gods Funeral March, or Lol grab sections of Heilung with that female singer doing her Banshee Wail and having that through the pickups, it would be quite interesting on seeing how you could weave that into your playing.

[@JasonElson-rl5vs]

if you have a strat trem use the white part at the end and poke the A string on the 15 fret

[@watayaslakinn]

I think I have the name for the Paul Gilbert trick…. “Pitch Switch” because the two actions essentially cancel each other out.

[@connorpayne2671]

12:20 I was at Church one time and my phone's notifications were on. Someone texted me and from my amp the youth group and I heard "droid." It was pretty funny

[@georgiosvavliaras1066]

Nubbing can get you some crazy computer sounds like Buckethead too! And I like that you can make the guitar sound like sort of a harp when you play the strings behind the bridge

[@tonyatkinson4496]

I love it!
