All My Guitars and Gear (Guitar Rig Overview Part 1)

[@RachelfGuitar]

Hey everyone! This is the first video in a two part rig overview series. Part 2 focusing on the software I use for recording will be coming shortly! Originally had them together in this one video, but it got way too long. What is your own favorite piece of gear that you use? :)

[@johnnyfountainS]

I only have 6 guitars. Just one Takamine with 5 electrics. I'm going to get another acoustic guitar, then another Jackson Dinky.

[@johnnyfountainS]

I use vmnts with bolt on necks. I used to have a bc rich rich ich in red. I traded it for a Warlock with a pointy headstock.

[@johnnyfountainS]

I never won a guitar in my life. I had a fender strat from reynosa and a sears black strat. I told my mom to get me a black sears V and she didnt get it for me at age 11 or 12. I never felt like playing acoustic until I saw Jeff Young from Megadeth play one. I still have Shakira's Takamine from Mexico City. I had a bass from Fender but my dad sold it. I use a marshall amp. I changed to Joyo Pedals because of you Rachelf.

[@johnnyfountainS]

I only get 3 minutes to record a song on my Iphone. I plan on getting a panasonic camera like you Rachelf. I should get an Acoustic Modulus Bass.

[@johnnyfountainS]

I use Diaddiro Strings in Size Light Gauge XL.

One piece of equipment you use alot in your videos that you haven't mentioned is your leather jacket.

That THR amp takes me back! When i first started playing my brother gave his old one to me, and i used it for YEARS and i still have it! Easily the best amp of all time!

[@Patrick-857]

I just bought a Yamaha THR100HD. Love it. Over tube amps because of their issues.

[@MrDussek]

i love your content, this is a great video! my first guitar was a 2001 squier strat from the pawn shop down my street that i got in january. i got my first “real guitar” after i graduated high school about a month ago and it’s an epiphone SG G400. playing guitar is an amazing hobby, rock on!🤘

[@MikeDeLorenze]

You ALWAYS make me pick my guitars up!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@terry4265]

Good Morning : Wanted to say. After having my Bass now since last Friday and I have played it to death. I have a whole new respect for you. You have practiced a lot to get as good as your are now. I have learned a lot this almost week now and if I keep it up. In a year I should be playing some pretty awesome licks but for sure going to take time but the good part is. When I played years ago. I never loved it but this time. I think about it all the time and really look forward to getting it out and playing but right now. My fingers are really sore. So will have to be patient. That's it. Have a great day. Your a really Great Guitar Player. :)

[@MatFoxYT]

Hi Rachel, I loved your 0-3 year progress video and seeing your face light up with every note played really inspired me. So, aged 47, I started learning the electric guitar 2 days ago. Thanks for the nudge!

[@RachelfGuitar]

That's so cool to hear! Best of luck with your playing :)!

So nice that you won a guitar that's both your favourite color and from your favourite brand 💙

Great collection. That's a savage drive in your sound setup. Really great gear. You videos are a pleasure to watch (btw). You're so pleasant and very beautiful. That smile is just ..wow!! Your sound is 2nd to none and you have become an absolutely superb player. Keep rocking those vids and never cut that gorgeous hair you have. lol. Looking forward to see software setup in part 2. You are quiet inspiring Rachelf, thankyou.

That first Ibanez is particularly gorgeous, I must say

[@phrankus2009]

My most important piece of gear is my i7 notebook computer with ABLETON LIVE 10 STD and PUSH 2 … Aside from looping, beats, composing and mastering, it serves as a decent practice rig, with VSTplug-ins … But the real reason my notebook is so important is that I can watch Rachel's awesome YT vids. with it !

[@swam4362]

I have an LTD ESP EC-10, a Squier Mustang, and a Yamaha acoustic electric. As for amps, I have a Blackstar FLY 3 and a Katana 50.

I love that you always look like someone just told you a clever joke!

[@Fairlight2cx]

Just got into guitar about a month ago, maybe? That myth people tell themselves about, "I'll only buy one?" Yeah, -that's- a lie. Started with an Epiphone SG Pro 400G. Got an Ibanez electro-accoustic after that. Then I got by biggie, a Fender Stratocaster American Professional, which is just godlike. Going to easily say that's my favourite guitar, easily. I like the SG, but they're entirely different creatures with different use cases, honestly. I've just switched from playing bass left-handed but strung righty (upside down) for 30 years. I switched for many benefits, but the deciding factor was wanting to take up guitar and not having to straddle two worlds. Just as well, as in the first week, after playing fully lefty, -everything- felt backwards (reading, typing, walking) after practising. That's faded, blessedly. I have a Schecter Stiletto Extreme 5 five-string. Currently running everything through my Peavey Max 112 MkII bass amp, tuned to neutral. For FX, I'm running BOSS GT-1 and GT-1B, currently. I'm currently saving for a Kemper PowerHead Profiling Amp and a Tech 21 powered speaker for guitars and bass (which should stop the bass amp colouring). Thanks for running down your gear! (And do you ever -not- smile? You must just really, really love music, because you always seem jazzed. I envy you the consistent enthusiasm and happiness. Not that I'm not happy...you just take it to a whole other level. It's nice though!) Also, thanks for proving that we can all start at the level you did and work up to where you are. That's been hugely inspirational to me, so thanks!

[@Krank5150]

Awesome - keep up the great work 👍 Nothing better to see than a dedicated guitar player/ musician

[@RachelfGuitar]

Thanks so much!

[@robertcoppola6263]

You should try the Dunlop Flow picks! Also, Stringjoy makes some awesome strings! Love your videos!!!

[@RachelfGuitar]

Thank you!

[@strumminronin]

A second vote for the Dunlop Flow picks. I got the idea from Andy James, who has his own artist custom pick. I like his music but not the graphics on the custom picks, hence the Flow picks.

[@ThBraveBraveSirRobin]

I own and love my Ibanez RGAT62-SBF. Beautiful to look and and great to play. Just want to pick it up and play it all the time. It was my first upgrade from the Squier Affinity Strat I started on. I play thru a Boss Katana Head which is great for recording/headphone use but when I want to make a racket I plug it into my Orange PPC112 cab (in black 'cos my wife didn't want an orange speaker cab in the living room). I'm feeling the urge to get another guitar, possibly with a FR, or maybe a LP shape. So many options to chose from. Will enjoy trying all the candidates out in the shop though. I really like the Ibanez thin neck though so I expect I'll end up with another Ibanez.

[@lanerussell7958]

My collection is mainly Strats. I've a Squier Pro-Tone, and American Special Deluxe, a partscaster, and several others. But my favorite is a Japanese FSR from 2018, in Inca Silver with a pink racing stripe. Her clean tone is glassy and mellow, and she is very responsive to my right-hand technique. Her neck is perfect, better than any other I own. My amp is a Yamaha Fifty115B bass amp. I love that thing. My pedals are a mostly EHX--Holy Grail, Canyon Echo, and Soul Food; but my absolute >sine qua non< is my Danelectro Cool Cat chorus pedal. No matter what I play, the Cool Cat is always on.

Sounds like an awesome setup! :)

[@ak2010utube]

That Ibanez is beautiful! Glad your able to afford such a luxury guitar. But note to beginners for what its worth, you don't need a $1K guitar to make gorgeous sounding music on one, as lovely an instrument as it is!

[@anonymousarsonist9653]

That bass sounds awesome

[@RedElephantStampede]

Well, perhaps not for metal but my most cherished amp is my Fender 65 reissue Twin. For metal I have an EVH 5150 2x12 combo and I must say it’s the best recording amp I’ve ever owned.

[@aaronanthony569]

You got Ibanez prestige blue green burst just after fender squire guitar. WHAT A JUMP!!!!!!

[@stevend9124]

Awesome video as always haven't tried elixirs yet heard a lot good reviews but D'Addario strings their my work horses always dependably 👍👍👍👍

[@paulinhoccc408]

[@penguin1893]

Love the guitars ❤️ lots of blue 😂 Only guitars I have so far: Squire Stratocaster, some knockoff Strat, an ESP MX220, and a Dean Razorback. Got a Blackstar ID:Core 40 for the amp. I might try to get a smaller Marshall Cab set and trade the Blackstar amp in for said set.

[@nehemiahzo_]

Only?? I have a Fender FA-100 acoustic (garbage guitar, don’t buy it. If you’re gonna do fingerstyle, it’s not the one. String spacing is too much.) and a Strat copy. It’s pretty good.

[@LucasBozovich]

In addition to my previous comment, you should also cover something from the new Upon A Burning Body album (with exception to their cover of Feed My Frankenstein which is probably the same tuning as the original, the whole album is in Drop B).

[@alisidani7314]

I just myself an epiphone les paul studio lt a couple of days ago , originally wanted a strat but they don't have humbucker pickups so i went for the les paul.

[@RachelfGuitar]

Awesome, hope you are having a great time with it so far!

[@bullwhipjohnson8247]

Have you tried the D'Addario Chromes? They're a Flatwound. That are quieter and smoother to the touch. Metal players usually like the crunchy raspy sound and feel of Roundwound strings.

[@RachelfGuitar]

Haven't tried them, though I do have flatwound strings on the bass currently!

[@mr.albert__3361]

What about that strat behind you?

[@_vixen_4504]

I use earnie ball strings they are great for downtuning and they are used by a lot of guitar legends like Mick mars, angus Young, Eric Clapton

[@jamie5399]

Try elixir,if not daddario, some people like the coating others don’t, I have a real problem with sweat and litrally after an hour of playing Ernie balls the strings would be black so I changed to daddario and they’d last 2 weeks now elixirs are true to what they say,they last me like 3 months until I get the slightest bit of black which I can tend to just wipe off

[@LucasBozovich]

You should get yourself a Digitech Whammy DT pedal. That way, you can hit higher or lower tunings without adjusting string tension. Of course the amp will have to be louder than the guitar itself, or you’ll hear both tunings.

[@RachelfGuitar]

That could be a cool thing to have around!

[@jsk8drummer]

Ibanez should hook you up with some sort of sponsorship. You have the fanbase to make it worthwhile for them and you clearly like their guitars.

[@allenhrubes8598]

Hey Rachel! I've been watching your videos for a number of years. Your practicing has reaped you many rewards. Good for you! A couple of questions if I may. Is the Floyd Rose on the 2nd Ibanez guitar a licensed product or is it an original FR? Secondly, are you in a band? You sound amazing and any band would be fortunate to have you as their guitarist. Hey Rachel...thanks for sharing your gear with us...take care.

[@RachelfGuitar]

I believe the FR is Ibanez's ZR2 tremolo. I'm not in a band, but maybe someday! For now focused on making videos and working on more original music 😀. Thank you!
