[@user-dt6ym3wn6q]

こんな渋い人が貫禄ゼロの早口でワックワクで話してんの良すぎる

[@奥歯抜けた]

雪駄でペダル踏むのかっこ良すぎる…

[@yamadadash]

いいオッサンが自分の好きなものをワクワクしながら話してるの可愛い

[@row6663]

自作スキル、話し方、作曲センス、和嶋さんは間違いなく頭いい人ですね。

[@アラビックヤマト-b8k]

こんなにもべしゃりが上手い人とは知らなかった。 もっとお話を聞きたい

[@にの-u7g]

話し声もめっちゃいい声 大学教授かアナウンサーかって感じの話し方で心地いいです

[@keysk1199]

めっちゃくっちゃ好きなんだなってのがゴリゴリ伝わってきてこっちも楽しくなる動画

[@kikiki1017]

本当和製アイオミだなぁ。 リスペクトありつつ自分のスタイル確立されてる。尊敬です。

If he was reincarnated into the most Japanese guy ever born.

こんなに渋いのに、少年みたいなキラキラした目で喋る和嶋さんが素敵

[@shiseiful]

和嶋様の生き方が素晴らしいです。心から尊敬いたします。もちろん人間椅子の音楽も大好きです。あのイカ天バンドがここまで進化し続けてきたとは、人類が見失っているものを示してくれているように思えてなりません。ありがとうございます。

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

ビデオ見てくれて有難うございます！和嶋さんはギターが心底好きだからこそここまで来ていると思います！

[@shiseiful]

@@EarthQuakerDevicesJP ありがとうございます。その通りだと思います。ありがとうございます。

[@masalamander]

エフェクターをカスタマイズしたり、自作するほどのマニアな和嶋さん。音に対するこだわりがホントにすごいなと思います。達人ですね。

[@2011mtoooo]

ETVで出てきてもおかしくないぐらいの解説… 流れるようなトーク…素敵です

[@DuncanMcBride]

This is the single best video I've ever seen talking about the philosophy behind pedals, and their technology. What a genius guest, and his playing is incredible! I love Ningen Isu, such a good band

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

Thanks for watching!

[@kodykindhart8230]

Agreed

[@squiseh.2397]

まさにその通り!

[@竹中ブースカブー]

職人和嶋君昔でいう教育テレビのエフェクター講座のマニアック講師でやって欲しいくらいの味わい深い喋りと実演最高ですね。また時おり出てくるロビントロワーとかフランクマリノが流石です。町工場の技術が今世界に羽ばたいてるのがシビレます✨

[@djarumaster145]

ギターもバイクも全くやらないけど和嶋さんの動画はずっと見てられます。

[@kenmak8729]

プロミュージシャン兼プロエフェクター制作家だともう説得力が違う

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

全くその通りですよね。現役ミュージシャンで楽器作る人は強い！

[@R200300324]

歳を重ねてルックスが人間椅子って感じになったのが凄い。

[@KittenRaptor]

The crazy thing about Ningen Isu, aside from how incredibly GOOD they are and still went under the radar for so long, is that they are 35 year veterans with the enthusiasm and simple joy in making music of teenagers forming their first band. Frankly the world of music is better with them in it.

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

Thanks for watching and yes we need them for the better music world for sure!

[@金次郎-q4d]

人として円熟してる感じが全身に滲み出ててかっこいい ただ人生過ごしてたらこうはなれないな

[@plant4am17]

なんて素晴らしい動画でしょうか！ 和嶋さんご本人が魅力的であることはもちろんですが、この動画には和嶋さんへの深い尊敬と愛情を感じます。EQDはぶっとんだエフェクターブランドとして大ファンですが、このような誠実な動画によりますます惹かれました。 これからも楽しみにしております！

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

有難いお言葉有難うございます！使ってくれるプレイヤーが居てこそのEQDなので、和嶋さんのインタビューできて最高でした！

[@NnNn-eq5hr]

貴方様を見ているといつもこういう歳の取り方をしたいと切実に思います

[@FrenchFryEyes]

この方はもっと評価されると思いますよ。 そしてやり続けて人生を使い切って楽しんでるのがすごい。 なんなら没後に時代が追いつくレベルのギタリストかも知れないですね。

[@762FMJ]

機材オタク全開のマニアックなノンストップトークを変にカットせずにそのまま映像としてアップしてくれてるの好感もてる 和嶋さんの話し方が上手くて聴きやすいからあまり編集する必要がないってのももちろんあると思うけど

[@rvfiasco]

He's literally the Monk of Rock! Much respect for his playing, tone and all out style!!

[@cyrustvirus1224]

A teacher sent from the gods of Metal perhaps.

[@MadScientistGuitarLab]

It’s the Guitar Guru

[@hoboroadie4623]

Actually, its his Bass Player who is the Monk of Rock. Wajima-san is a Scholar of Rock.

[@vinciere3594]

Whoever did these English subs, you are the real MVP. Thank you.

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

We have Japanese speaking staff at EQD! Thank for watching!

[@ymisty5015]

和嶋さんの作る音が好きすぎる･･･。ずぅっと聴いていられる。

[@okanohajime]

37:14 ショッカーの説明。 嬉しそうに「悪の音」を語る所が好きです

[@Hrdaya21g]

エフェクターの話をしている時の和嶋さんの少年の様な反応がいつ見ても素敵ですよね。 見ているコチラ側も何だかワクワク出来る、そんな稀少なプレイヤーは和嶋さんだけだなって思います。

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

初期衝動みたいな、最初の気持ちは忘れてはいけないという良いお手本ですよね！

[@UsTheMusicTVOfficial]

I had no idea this dude played in that band. He sure can shred! What I love most about him, is that he made his own pedals taylored to his own style. And when the other pedals couldn't hack it, he found a way around those limitations. Truly inspiring!

[@Yamifira]

this man understands his craft so well, i don't even have any shred of musical talent but Wajima-san's explanations and reasonings make me feel like i got wiser in a field previously alien to me

[@大樹松村]

僕が人間椅子初めて知った頃から、わじー刃、日本最高峰のギターリスト！大好きです！！

[@scottclark7592]

Since I discovered his band last year, he has been very inspiring to me. A fine and true gentleman. Thank You!

[@バグリー-b1r]

楽器全く分からんけど、この熱弁聞いてるだけでウィスキーが飲める。

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

飲み過ぎにご注意！

[@to4425]

楽器やっててもわかりません！ でもなぜか雰囲気と渋さで見てます笑

[@leftright6054]

わかる

[@rov305]

同意。１ミリも私も分からないけど和嶋さんの楽しそうな声色で酒飲んでる。和嶋さんってほんと楽しそうにお話するから何聞いても面白く聞こえる

[@Amzingred]

yea, when i play Ningen Isu's "Dodarebachi" Wajima always makes me feel he brought Stevie Ray Vaughn's spirit into his guitar.

[@elementoneohfour]

I'm not a guitar player but recently started messing with pedals and some smaller synthesizers. This guy really knows his stuff. Fascinating.

[@えべちゃん-z2s]

まさにギター職人！カタカナ用語満載の解説で思わず「和嶋先生！」とお呼びしたくなります。電気に強い人、尊敬します。全くの素人ですが最後まで感心しっぱなしでした。ありがとうございます。

[@wea69420]

What a pleasant man to listen to. So knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm

[@サイキクライド]

ワウって元々Vox社が自分たちのアンプにミドルのトーンがついてないからフェンダーアンプに対抗するためにミッドブースターとして作った回路が原型らしいですね 本来の役目に戻っていくのは面白い

[@ニンニクアブラカラメ]

SGが和楽器のような佇まい

[@lilythfleur]

やっぱりギターを弾いている時が一番きらきらしてかっこいいと思います。 最初の変身シーンがかわいいです（＾＾）

[@もりそば-p4y]

和装が似合うおじさま 話し方が完全にプロ…アナウンサーみたい

[@03wamorichan]

和嶋さんのギター音色がいいなぁーと思うのは曲によって色々エフェクターにこだわりがあるからなんですね。

[@akacme8428]

Thank you for this video about learning the secrets of Shinji's masterful Tone and pedal board layout . really appreciate the translation too . It shows how much love and care Shinji has put into his music over the years!!!!!

[@bob2161]

That was the most informative 43:30 I've ever had the honor to experience. Thank you so very much for including the English captioning. I've only recently discovered Ningen Isu and Shinji Wajima. In addition to learning the technology, I feel as though I've learned quite a bit about the man himself. This video was very enlightening. Thanks to everyone that helped to make it happen.

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

Thanks for watching! And yes Wajima san knows his shit!!!

[@davidornberg]

Thanks for the Eng subs. Learned a lot. You guys really should make clones of his own build pedals. Love from Sweden.

[@Dimension_3]

無いものは作る和嶋さん好き

[@philipcable7518]

A masterclass in rock guitar pedal effects and the nature of Jrock. Wajima san is a grand master of his craft many younger guitarists could learn so much from him. I am glad to have found the music of Ningen Isu.

[@markforged_japan2018]

和嶋さん、楽しそう〜幸せそう〜内容はさっぱりだけど、見てるだけで引き込まれます。エレキギターにこれだけ感動したのは初めて。I am touched by his passion and love to the music. What a gifted guy! This video makes us smiling :-))

[@cheezyridr]

wajima is a great player, in a great band. i'm glad i learned of them back when heartless scat became popular

[@Hiroki_-bh8dh]

なんて謙虚な方だろう。。この年齢の方に見られる、マウント感が全くない！ 和嶋さんは今なお、現役で進化中なんだ・・・！

[@otisblue3766]

So fruggin great when he says "speakuh crankuh" dude is cool

[@kevinlane7555]

Actually understanding his gear and building his own pedals....Yeah.....Also, I for one am glad that he and his band don't sound like western groups...they've got their own niche and it suits them well...Great player with great tone....and no reverb or delay.....

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

He sticks to his guns and does it very well!

[@TheChadPad]

He's got a Boss delay! 9:28

[@arkaisk2]

11:20: Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" riff, with exactly right sound 🙂

[@blablablamus]

私はハードロックヘビィメタル畑の人間ではないですがめちゃくちゃ参考になります。特にビッグマフのハコの鳴りの件は大変参考になりました。和嶋さんの音大好きです。もちろん人間椅子も！

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

We love NINGEN ISU!

[@psul42]

I could watch this wonderful man nerd out on pedals for another two hours. Truly a treasure to rock guitar. Thanks for the video and especially the translation.

[@shimonbenloulou1778]

check out his cover of king crimson from like 2 decades ago. super stuff!

[@naka4478]

大好きなんだなー。ギターもバイクも。 淡々と語ってますけど、自作する熱量は凄いと思う。尊敬✨✨ 人間椅子大好き

[@pwwri]

おそらくギターの一番かっこいい時代の音で直球勝負、と見せかけてそれだけではないギターオタク的な側面が垣間見えるのがすごく楽しい企画でした

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

見てくれてありがとうございます

[@DeevoC]

Maaaaan, this is awesome! I'd never heard of these guys before, but now I have some catching up to do! Thank you for not making this an advert for just your pedals, but showing how yours can fit into something as unique as his board. Wonderful stuff.

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

Thanks for watching!

[@justbob242]

I could listen to this guy read shampoo ingredients. This is cool. And his playing is amazing.

[@B-Bizz]

This setup looks extremely fun and versatile. Great options for tone and punch for pushing solos. I also really admire the tinkering aspect to create a smaller uni-vibe. Like a mad scientist 👨‍🔬 creating the perfect monster. I respect tinkerers because I’m one myself. I love pushing the electric guitar toward new discoveries. Rock on!🤘

[@shinyafeelgood1474]

人間椅子ほど『王道』と『実験』を融合させたバンドってあんのかね

[@joshuadavison267]

Mr. Wajima pulling off "Bridge of Sighs" made my day. What a beast of a player.

[@rlsimpso]

I must have watched this ten times now. When Wajimasan speaks, I listen. Thank you for English subs.

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

Thanks for watching!

[@MicahThunder]

Love this rundown of his pedalboard! Super enlightening

[@philgreene6031]

Shinji Wajima is a master of his craft. Even in older videos you can feel the amount of passion this man has for music, this entire band is a collective of some of the most amazing musicians I've ever been lucky enough to find

[@tamamie]

1987とSGなんて今の若手じゃやらないオールドスタイル大好きです こんなボードなんですね勉強になります RATとパライコで真似してました

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

昔の様に選択肢の少ない中での選択から生まれた音も素晴らしいですよね！

[@indybingyi]

His knowledge is unbelievable

[@相沢圭太]

本当のギター侍

[@ralvknights]

Thank you for sharing your tone passion. Your pedalboards and tones are great. I also love fuzz and the combination of sounds one can tailor with pedal fxs is just magical. It is worth it to test the best pedals and find our own guitar tones. Keep rocking.

[@AFFEmitMACKE]

17:15 : "All the Pedals are completely analog, like the phaser, uni-vibe and overdrive. Those are made with parts from the 20th century. There is almost no modern technology in it. In short, our sound style is based on the old school rock when i was in my youth. British hard rock from the 1970s. After that it started changing to heavy metal. That type of hard rock sound, plus a bit of heavy metal flavor." Please, never abandon that heritage. I am not saying you shouldn't try out new things, but always remember and embrace that old school vibe. 18:30 "So i wanted to put a Japanese identity into it. It's a band that shows an example of how Japanese people rock. So, in fact, Ive been singing with Japanese lyrics for a long time." And please never abandon this either. Your musical skills put you up there with many hardrock and metal legends, your japanese singing and styles set you apart and make you stand out. (At least for a western guy like me).

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

Thanks for watching! I myself saw the band on TV shows when I was a teenager in Tokyo and seeing them killing it outside of Japan makes me happy and got to work with him was very special!

[@ガッツリ石松-h1y]

エフェクターの事はよくわかりませんが、話しを聞いてるだけで和嶋さんがもの凄いギタリストだという事がわかります。人間椅子大好きです。

[@tomu_bichibichi]

理想の音、マーシャルのアン直を基準にボードを添えるように組む。かっけぇ。

[@erumi36]

I could watch hours upon hours of Wajima-san messing around with his gear and playing a few tasty licks while doing so. Thanks for putting this together and including English subs!

[@usk1536]

エフェクターボードを組む上で凄く参考になります👍 そして、音へのこだわり、追求が垣間見えて素晴らしいです。エフェクターの解説、マニアックで大好きです👍

[@mmmmmm-ld6jb]

人の良さがすごく出ててわかりやすいしもっと出て来てほしい

[@lucasbauer-crabb3086]

The best Board to Death Ive seen, Thank you for this

[@n_i_t_u_s_]

That "amp cleanup" pedal is such a great idea! I play through a single channel high gain amp, and have to turn the gain on the amp down each time for a clean tone. Now I am using the Mooer Gas Station pedal as a "clean" preamp before the amp. But I would really like something that doesn't color my amps tone, much like his own pedal. Loved this video, and thanks for the Eng subs.

[@EarthQuakerDevicesJP]

It's discontinued but we had Black Eye that could do the same kind of job. Can't promise it would be a good match with your amp tho. Thanks for watching!

[@livingabovethe12th]

Mad Professor Evolution Orange Underdrive is exactly that pedal.

[@moustachio334]

I get by with the volume knob to clean up the signal but going through a compressor pedal to even out the volume loudness. The compressor keeps me from having to use as much gain in the first place for soloing so my solos stay nice and punchy. If that’s not enough then you can use an EQ for your clean tone with the overall gain turned below zero. No need for a fancy sounding boutique pedal.

[@hoboroadie4623]

I heard that in Japan they have isolated mains power outlets, I guess that makes it possible to successfully power all the pedals on a daisy-chain.

[@SeorangNeo]

luckily i got my instinct right, putting the LED on the side of my v845 when modding. yeah

[@ChrisPBacon1999]

なんて見応えのある動画なんだ...和嶋さん、関係者の皆さん、ありがとう！
