Thanx for not going u know its all in the fingers bullshit:)

[@italianguitar]

ahaha well, it is actually true.,.. but gear knowledge helps your sound to shine at it's best ! 🎉

[@Sol7Studios]

Curious of Delay Plugin and it's settings and Reverb plugin and settings

[@Acousticeg]

Again thank you for sharing this with us. Holdsworth was the biggest influence on my playing. But I could never find a voice on guitar that I liked. This may be the closest I've gotten to something with a sound I like. If you care to listen. 🎸 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJLdYWaon6imqtk

[@italianguitar]

just had a listen, great sound and playing. maybe you don't like it but many of us will do!

[@Acousticeg]

@@italianguitar I appreciate that. Thanks

[@ilay829]

Best tutorial on KZbin! Btw what multi effect plugin do you recommend for any daw?

[@italianguitar]

thank you 🙏 I use mainly Universal Audio Apollo for mixing. Also the guitar amps from them sound amazingly real

[@richardholmes4560]

Thank you !

Beautiful

Thank you 🙏

[@AndreasGautier]

great video.... can u share the delay and reverb settings in this setup

[@italianguitar]

in this case i just used a random stereo delay around 500 ms with 4-6 repetitions with the feedback and a bright Plate reverb

[@MrTarlecon]

Thanks a lot, Enrico! EQ is the key. As for the reverb and delay, I think I can refer to the previous video (on clean sound). Thanks once again!

@@italianguitar thanks a lot! I try to reach the same sound on my Line 6 POD HD 500X processor. Need to start working with computer based programs like you)). Thanks once again! Your videos are a treasure!

[@erlendjulieb1760]

@@MrTarlecon i´ve tried to reach something similar, just with analogue equipment. deluxe reverb + transparent overdrive + delay and an eq. i found out if you dont push the gain on your overdrive too far over 2 o clock and roll both the tone knob on your overdrive pedal and guitar very far back, not till complete jazzland ofcourse, but pretty far. you will then have a really muddy tone with a lot of bass, buuut if you completely eradicate the bass on both your amp and your eq, and push your treble and upper register on the amp and the eq really hard you´ll start to get into jazz overdrive / holdsworth area. my idea of the holdsworth tone is atleast a tone that is soft but at the same time can pierce through the mix, a warm bottom that is not bassy and that resonates, and a thick top that definetely pierces through but has some core to it that doesnt sound thin. last step , so that you can give your amp a bit more volume to work on is to use your guitar volume button as a gain, push the amp volume until its a bit too loud for playing, then roll your guitar volume off to about 7/8. this for me is atleast the decisive moment in getting the holdsworth/jazz overdrive tone. now i´ve not nerded on how holdsworth did it, so this is probably not very similar , technically speaking. but it sounds awesome and is probably replicatable on all equipment, as long as youve got a tube amp and a transparent overdrive. I also tried to model this tone after late 2000´s kurt rosenwinkel, cause he sounds very similar to holdsworth during that time. so my approach is probably a rosenwinkel meets holdsworth kinda tone hehe.

[@MrTarlecon]

@@erlendjulieb1760 thanks a lot for such a detailed anwer, my friend! So many things to try and to learn)).

Hi Enrico, excellent video! Could you please post a link to Gary Husband's Holdsworth tutorial?

Awesome. Thank you !

[@samkc6422]

where are you getting the plugin's and amp tones?

[@visionalert]

Thank you so much Enrico!

[@italianguitar]

Thank you for watching!

[@danielepenco]

Grande, come sempre Enrico, ora ho anche io una Spirit, ma non le tue mani!!

[@italianguitar]

Grazie! La mia Steinberger e'pre-Gibson 😊

[@danielepenco]

@@italianguitarAh beh lo so! Niente di paragonabile ovviamente...pensa a solo il manico in grafite...ma 'megiu che ninte' per noi mancini!

[@italianguitar]

si si anche io ho una spirit ma non c'è paragone

[@danielepenco]

@@italianguitarAh ci credo...comunque con quali pickup mi consigli di cambiare? Qualche consiglio?

[@italianguitar]

mah dipende dal suono che vuoi ottenere. io avevo messo un Duncan JB al ponte , un duncan 59’ Mini humbucker al manico un Duncan SSL4 quarter pound flat al centro che suona molto stratocaster

[@dominiquemiletti6685]

Bravo , well explained!

Thank you

You're welcome

[@paulauksztulewicz7381]

Beautiful Holdsworth tone! What is the delay rate you have there?

[@italianguitar]

thank you for your comment. the delay is usually around 400-500 ms with 3-5 repetitions ( feedback)

[@paulauksztulewicz7381]

Thank you! I met Allan on several occasions here in Southern California in the late 90's. Recently I talked over the phone with Bill DeLap, since I acquired one of Bill's rare classical guitars he made in 1982. Turns out from our conversation that Bill DeLap was the builder who actually designed the Carvin/ Kiesel HH1/ HH2. (I see you own one as well). Allan took the design to Carvin, they modified the horns, and used it without Bill's permission to fashion the Carvin/ Kiesel Holdsworth model guitars. I own one of Allan's personal HH1 finished in the gold color (changed the pickup to a P90 hot rail). kzbin.info/www/bejne/maqQfGZ9ZdaDh5o. Anyway, I thought you might find this interesting. Sending you all the best from Southern California. @@italianguitar
