Board to Death Ep. 21 - Doug Gillard Guided by Voices, Nada Surf, Cobra Verde | EarthQuaker Devices

[@HarshTonesInc]

Doug Gillard is a freakin' genius songwriter and guitar player. See "I Am A Tree," one of the greatest rock n roll songs of all time, containing one of the most spectacular rock n roll guitar solos of all time. Also, "Pop Zeus," which he shows us how to play in this video! So good. Thanks EQD!

[@themikepadua]

Yes to all of that!!!

[@-thirteen]

indeed

[@faunoram]

I love how these series of videos mainly focuses in Non-Shredder guitar players, opposite to the average guitar mag or guitar oriented media that is absolutely obsessed with that aspect of guitar playing, thank you EQD for include a wider variety of guitarists !

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Thanks for caring! We will keep bringing you a wide range of stuff...

[@faunoram]

@@EarthQuakerDevices Awesome !

[@dpclerks09]

"Anyone who loves guitar can agree that to know Doug's playing is to love it. " Well said. ❤

[@stubkar]

The man behind the man. And he doesn't seem to mind.

[@mikemathlete]

Man that Pop Zeus riff at the end is something special

[@nerdsick3778]

Omg. Yes.

[@readyfretgo]

EARTHQUAKER GLUE! 😉 That was awesome. So much guitar excellence and tonal wizardary! *Gillard is to Pollard as Nels is to Tweedy. I have respect for all the great Guided By Voices guitarists of yore, but Doug is the GBV guitar G.O.A.T. to the Fading Captain's infinite muse.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

glad you dug it, thanks for watching

[@-thirteen]

this man's recorded work is absolutely fucking stellar.. decades of it, brilliant throughout

[@asherbeal8357]

GBV are an amazing band, definitely in my top ten live shows... and Doug is such a stellar player. 👏👏👏 Thanks EQD folks. 🍻

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Thanks for watching Asher

[@Esquire-ul9xs]

I'm not sure I'd be able to say the words "I play in Guided by Voices" with the same composure and calmness... :p

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Right roight

[@dannn1111]

Big Doug fan here. Major talent!

[@ilikecorn500]

Song at 7:17 is “Surgeon is Complete” from Lifeguards’ “Mist King Urth”, which is a Robert Pollard and Doug Gillard side project. It’s a great record.

[@unionprounion6356]

newest lifeguards lp from 2011 is good too

[@swinehorde9118]

Incredible how Gillard's tone hasn't changed over the years, even though he's using different amps and effects. It must be down to that sweet LP Custom and the man himself.

[@vernonreid4528]

Love Doug's solo stuff. Great songs. Great playing!

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Indeed! Thanks for watching, Mr. Reid!

[@royphillips7435]

My fave guitar player right there ! Fabulous Doug ....

[@tomsonkolson9007]

Thank You EQD! Fantastic stuff, as always.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Glad you liked it. Stay tuned for more

[@milesdufourny4813]

Always liked Doug's playing with Death of Samantha, wish I had seen them live back in the 80's.

[@eugenelematti1673]

Thank you for this ,Love Doug's guitar sound.Love Guided By Voices.

[@andytaylor1806]

Some proper gorgeous reverbs in there

[@J.Dove3D]

Very cool. The ED Gold has a great bark.

[@fredrickmeyers8076]

GBV! My all time fav!

[@faunaflage]

[@iiWNMii]

The boss eq pedal image displayed is a bass version. The stock photo used doesn't look like the eqs on his board.

[@coleemmersonhallman5329]

Gimme Some Music! and it’s a boss ps-5, not a ps-6

[@sleaf8356]

Legend

[@msvc5083]

As always you are so impressive, you Sir are great!!!!

[@OhanaFilms]

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Glad you liked it Darrel! Thanks

[@jaymueller2418]

Awesome.

[@ivanliptak19]

flint is so underrated

[@imdanielchae]

tf is that last song he plays.. so good

[@HarshTonesInc]

dchae It’s a song called “Pop Zeus” that he did with Robert Pollard

[@colinmaclean7817]

Pop Zeus, from Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department. A fantastic song! Pop genius more like.

[@stubkar]

Hoping you can get your hands on it. I'm not selling my copy! Album is loaded with gems.

[@bruxist]

Great video. Doug is such a great guitarist. Is that a different LPC than the one he usuall plays with the uncovered pickups?

[@davidmiller7675]

Bout time

[@Braulios_Penesecou]

2:04 ECHOES MYRONS!

[@jeremychamplin1078]

Songwriting genius!

[@Nico-li1bg]

2:00 Frank and the catholics tone :D Love it

[@thehumblecrab6487]

Call him Max. Send him a fax. Charge him no tax.

[@seanhershey3390]

GBV!...GBV!

[@briefcandle]

[@8Junio76]

1:38 @ why showing a picture of the Boss Bass Equalizer when he uses the guitar version?

[@standinsilence]

Yeah that was definitely a Mega-LOLmoment.

[@davidhubbell1622]

My guess is that lp custom is a 69! reminds me a lot james williamson's 69 lp custom in the stooges!

[@modularmountain3910]

That amp tho. I liked the transmisser but it was really difficult to get a normal reverb off of it.

[@XeroSnake]

What's the recording set up for this episode, mic wise?

[@AngelGonzalez-ij8xm]

Can you use the Tone Job as a clean boost?

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

yep!

[@juanpablomorantorres1903]

8:03 🤩

[@gregburton6167]

POP ZEUS

[@JTakasa]

GEB-7? I understand that it isn't an eqd pedal, but still... #comeonman

[@darrencruz8952]

Eyyy

[@pytheus]

Awesome!! Anyone know the name of the song he's playing at the very beginning?

[@faunaflage]

I thought it was Stone Roses' I Am The Resurrection.

[@kouzie]

It's Parade On (from Doug's solo album of the same name). GBV have been playing live recently. Fantastic song!

[@anam3nyc]

It’s Parade On, from Doug’s latest solo album of the same name.

[@jjeshop]

GBV!

[@XeroSnake]

Let Paul into a Supro? Very Jimmy Page!

[@dannn1111]

Lifeguards at 7:16

[@Crate70]

Song at 7:57?

[@mackereltacos2850]

Pop Zeus

[@musicmusic4046]

anyone know what that last song is?

[@JohnyJables]

Music Music Pop Zues by Bob Pollard and Doug Gillard

[@HarshTonesInc]

Music Music It’s called “Pop Zeus”

[@colinmaclean7817]

Pop Zeus

[@lowqualityguitarvideos]

sparkle drive sounded weird to me

[@tangodelta7809]

S Rawdon I have one. It can be an undertone or overtone mod. I absolutely love it and for the price it’s a killer pedal. It won’t get you to distortion really, but can provide overdrive to creepy tones to just different voices.

[@michaelpowell7120]

All that equipment to do NOTHING.
