Anyway You Want It Suhr Aldrich Passive Pickups

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Wicked tone in this man.....dang. I honestly thought I was listening to an Axe FX III video until I looked up and noticed what year it was LOL.....

[@gatsubasako2565]

one of my biggest classic youtube cover , that tone is insane

[@XPhantomLord]

What a beautiful cover.

[@r1canpride]

This video never gets old. Thanks for your videos Mark!

[@Bjornframson]

This was one of my childhood song my mom loves Journey. ive never got into playing guitar like at the ending of your video when your telling us your gear I have no idea what your saying lol ypu might as well be speaking Japanese to me. Just wanted to tell you your cover was amazing sounding just brilliant.

[@khoatruong11]

In all of our (guitarists) quest to find our tone and our dedication to learning/practicing and building our techniques, I think we all forget to just play...you obviously still have fun just playing. I really admire that. Keep it up!

[@r.llynch4124]

love the guitar and suhr pickups. just bought mine. if you don't want to get up and groove with this song you must be dead. one of the best rocker tunes of all time

[@spark4039]

Great playing! It's hard to imagine mark without his axe fx ii 👽 killer tones with this setup too

[@jzacoi]

Awesome cover. Love your style and Technical ability w/feel. Thank You for covering this, helped so much in learning for my band.

[@samhillband]

Thanks for the kind words!!

Wow, Very cool. Hearing the song you don't really realize how much Neal is playing. Awesome video, One of new favorites! Nice Les paul too! I wish john would offer a les paul.

[@phallystorm]

Mark!! I am in LOVE with your TONE, the execution of the licks, and everything about your style. You are Freaking GREAT Man! I have been playing for a long, long time, but have been doing it all differently. I cannot say enough about you here. LOVE!!!!

[@promowcp]

Mark, pay no mind to the haters, they are just jealous. I know I am, you are a positively blistering player. I'm a neophyte, only mess around a bit and play mostly rhythm stuff (not good enough for most leads yet) but have been improving. Been watching your vids for about a year now, really great stuff. This Any Way You Want It is a clinic in how to play this song, especially the solo, which is insane. I plan to get some of these Suhr pickups for my PRS Custom 24 SE soon based on your vids.

[@JaydenMcNeill]

awsome sound man

[@AJV8BALLER]

Crepes Almighty, what a tone! What a fine rig!

[@puertecitos6888]

cant go wrong with these Suhr pups in any Les Paul. so badass, every time.

[@5150markg]

Great cover Mark. Love the tone in the LP. The singer is awesome

[@wandereruk05]

brilliant! found the link through jemsite :D great guitar, beautiful tone. props to the singer, before i read the description i just thought it was a backing track and that was steve singing!

[@dylfleming]

Man, this is awesome. I can tell you really enjoy playing, which makes it so much more enjoyable to watch. Rock on man.

[@tonymarinelli7304]

The first good demonstration of these pick ups everyone else plays that Chugga Chugga drop d bullshit thank you thank you

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

Mark is a beauty! From a fellow Canadian. Take off eh?

[@BozKiller]

Really Nice cover, Mark!!!! well done

[@KingmeFilms1]

Sick tone dude

[@garryaileen]

That was epic!!! This is a song that means so much to me and this is why I've started to play the guitar, this is no doubt one of the best covers on you tube. Thank you and that is one hell of a les paul ; )

[@mjones53]

awesome as usual, sounds great

[@martinwilliams9098]

Fantastic job as always Mark , old video I know I missed this one but seen the other video you did of this fantastic journey song thank you , do what you do best Rock that guitar , great tone love your videos, would love to see a reo speedwagon video from you with that stamp on it that famous Mark DAY Vibrato especially ✨👍✨👏

[@samhillband]

Thanks Martin! I should do an REO. Gary Richrath's was the first vibrato I tried to emulate.

[@martinwilliams9098]

@@samhillband no problem stay safe 👍✨

[@juangiraldo54]

Hi mark. Your videos are great as always i have a question regarding the suhr pickups. How are those pickups compared to burst buckers in your opionion Thank you

[@liekka100]

sweet man! juicy tone!

[@alexcerdenaphotography]

Dude your friend singing the song shouldve auditioned for Journey back when they were looking for a new singer! :) He rocks! and so do you!

[@DaveyPOfficial]

100% agree

[@phuongdh]

Amazing vocals. Great guitar playing. I have the same set of pickups in my CS.

[@mysticmusic100]

Hi Mark Just wondering if you use a noise suppressor, I've found I get a buzz at some venues while the gain is up, drives the mixer soundman nuts? Keep up the good work!

[@cda32]

Epic pick harmonics

[@pweiskittel]

Awesome as always Mark. Great playing!!!!

[@MiketheGuitarDude91]

Nice cover man, Should i get a Peavey 6505 or a Suhr OD100? What are your thoughts?

[@bailey12444]

Hi Mark, finally got the virtuoso polish and cleaner, thanks works great, can u tell me what to use to clean the hardware? Thanks again

[@dantrocks]

Dude... I think you are a great guitarist.. some really nice gear and it looks like you are having a blast! Keep Posting !

[@peevee605]

Tone and playing for a king.

[@TheRageAcademy]

That lead tone was freaking awesome.

[@the_dank_shredder]

That was a bad ass cover! \m/

[@qroque305]

GREAT JOB MAN!!!!

[@charliemckeever3192]

Brilliant as always.. and funny enough I have the same pick ups In my les Paul with chorme covers.. Mark 😁

[@charliemckeever3192]

Thanks Mark.. 👍

[@nalidbass]

Beautiful Les Paul. What's the color of that burst called? Tea burst?

[@samhillband]

@leapinlonzo No, the volume pedal is in the loop of the OD100 which is low impedance :) Mark

[@ThomasL]

Boody Hell, what a kickass tone !

[@jayviermendiola]

Beautifully played. 🔥🤟

[@dendelio]

your sound is FANTASTIC

[@gravics]

You inspire me. Thank you.

[@Rrouthmusic]

Astounding!

[@BlackAdderLXX]

You make the best geetar faces!!!

[@Liesel88]

your sound is awesome! your playing anyway. How would you characterise the AD-Pickups compared against other usual Pickups? Maybe I'll buy them soon ;)

[@samhillband]

@Timguitarify It's a 2001 Standard Plus. My Suhr Modern is my number 1...no issues doing bends at the 22 fret on that..lol. Mark

[@timothychienyunchew8365]

Awesome Solos!!! Nice tone. What scale are you using? minor?

[@chargin265]

Hi Mark, I was wondering how the Aldrich pickup sounds for blues. Sure they are designed for Doug Aldrichs rock style but I am curious how well they perform as a good all-rounder. Any comments would be really appreciated. Cheers

[@mesamark3]

Wow, that is some serious gain man!!..........But I dig it!

[@lpgoog]

Sounds EXCELLENT. I love this guy. (He must be Canadian). I'd love to hire this TONE MASTER as a consultant to my live rig.

[@RoccoPezzin]

WHAT A TONE!!!

[@woodrn]

Great job man! What scale are you using for this solo??

[@ual1009]

@samhillband Thanks Mark. You have definitely sold me on this amp. The lead channel just seems to sing unlike my mesa roadster. It is exactly what I'm looking for. Now just gotta save up the money lol.

[@KingTabor]

amazing backing track! is it available at any website? great tone and playing also!

[@samhillband]

@rsaenzs I like them both. The Aldrich's sound more "real", fantastic clean tones, tight, cream leads. Not as much gain as the Blackouts. I am really liking the Aldrich pickups...I feel a change coming on :) I have played actives since 1985/6, these are the first ones I've actually liked...they are wonderful!! Mark

[@mikecurrie9398]

My fav Journey song !!! awesome ...

[@stephenmacdonald912]

That sounded awsome

[@Timguitarify]

I can't really see the heel, but I would have pegged you as a Les Paul Axxess man; the one with the heel scooped away, a la Neal Schon. Is this an Axxess model, or the standard heel joint? If it's standard, what up wif dat anyway? Who wants to deal with clunky wood at the upper frets? Btw, if you do like the Les Paul with scooped heel, try to find an older Yamaha Weddington; a Les Paul with extreme heel scoopage, and a 5-way for some split tones. Very well-made guitars.

[@joshuajackson1998]

im curious, what effects are you using? is that a flanger?

[@JedWunderli]

Mark - I know how much you like Suhr stuff and it shows, especially since you are giving them credit for mics that they didn't make - LOL. "Suhr SM57" was probably supposed to be Shure SM57. Keep up the great videos. Any thoughts of your band doing a "Tribute to Journey" show in Vegas? I'd come and see you guys.

[@ual1009]

Great playing and amazing tone!! I'm very interested in getting the SE+. That lead tone is just the sound I'm looking for. My question is are you using any effects or boosts for the lead tone or is that all the amp?

[@slav0311]

how can someone dislike this AWESOME

[@samhillband]

@JohnMcLeoder You are too kind John :) Glad I could make you giggle :) Mark

[@helterskelter786]

Fuckin awesome as always, Mark! Don´t you ever forget about the faces, they´re priceless, man! Owned it!

[@TimMer1981]

Holy shit dude! Great playing! :)

[@randolph229]

@samhillband Well done, Mr. Day. Great player with a great attitude, I'm subscribing.

[@hanekamhoofd]

Awesome vocals!

[@Chad11491]

just curious, why do you hate passive's? Awesome cover, really enjoyed it.

[@samhillband]

@ual1009 I use a BOSS PQ4 and a Suhr Koko Boost in front of the amp, not so much to boost but to cut some lower mids. The amp absolutely SLAYS!!! The amp on it's own has the fattest lead tone around :) Mark

[@samhillband]

Thanks!! No re-fret on my LP, factory frets.

[@motley666]

youd vids always kick ass Mark From one Suhr guy to another... Peace! Peter Gusmano

[@iandavidson4852]

Fabulous playing Mark - those Aldrich pickups are bitchin' aren't they?! Just killer.

[@samhillband]

Ian Davidson thanks Ian!!!

[@iandavidson4852]

Mark...I regularly revisit this clip for 2 reasons: 1. The incredible quality and dexterity of your playing and 2. To experience the joy and love for rock'n'roll you project. It's infectious...the world needs more of this.

[@bailey12444]

What do you use to clean the top looks very shiny?

[@roxxxander]

KILLED IT! ROCK ON!!!

[@roxxxander]

Whose track version is on your background?

[@samhillband]

@yharr666 I use the same tone on everything..lol. The backing track was made by my band mates. My drummer(Roy) sounds a lot like Steve Perry and is a killer drummer too. Don the bass player is a great player as well, never makes a friggin mistake! Mark

[@Kiroc65]

Love it!

[@joesatch899]

I can listen to this for hours until my wife yells at me and I have to tell her to shut up

[@rikh78]

really interesting to hear your playing with passive pickups, there's definitely a "quack" with your blackouts that's not there on this video, but you still sound like you, i think the Aldrichs sound great

[@slump75]

Nice!!!!!

[@deltafit]

I would love to hear what these pickups sound like on their own with your setup. Both OD100 & Axefx

[@ImTroyFromCanada]

Holy gain, Batman. This is classic rock, not "br00tl d3th metulz". I don't think I've ever used that much gain even on my "excessive gain" lead tones. Good playing though. Is that the original you're playing over, or a backing track?

[@takumanishiya23]

You have the best tone ever :D

[@nativegenocide5409]

Pause it at 0:56

[@ИванБелослутцев]

Браво!

[@samhillband]

@JWunderli lol, it was really late when I posted this...lol!! I fix.. I would love to do a Journey Tribute in Vegas! Do I have to wear an afro wig and grow a porn stache? lol

[@alienxyt]

Sick tone! Now I have to go look up Passive Pickup on Google

[@rockstaradventures1]

what strings and gauge are you using?

[@bailey12444]

@bailey12444 thanks mark u should make a video about polishing and cleaning. thanks

[@Azulnote]

Nailed it.

[@jackster28]

Sweet!!!

[@ValleyForge-dk6mf]

Is that a Marshall clone?

[@joelmaher1385]

great job , but all i hear is a cell phone ringing at 1:25 how can i enjoy the pick up sound , am I the only one who hears this? 43 sec also

[@trevdoyle6260]

that dude rules.

[@shredx81]

@MiketheGuitarDude91 6505 is probably less than half the price of a Bob Bradshaw boutique amp. The OD100 will by all accounts be a 'better' amp, but voiced differently to the 6505. You should demo both if you can. I own a VH4 and despite the massive price difference, I think the 6505 is a killer amplifier for the money. It sounds much, much better than it costs. I'd go 6505 personally & save your pennies. Resale on CAA isn't great either.

[@mariohernandezcobo]

Great tone man! I think the level of gain is perfect, the guitar is like a fist direct to the face, but i prefer your suhr modern.

[@cisspcism]

Based on your clips and from what I remember also, the SE + is alot smoother than the PT100
