For Beginners. GUITAR EFFECTS MANIA With Scott Grove

[@morgansword]

So happy to see you happy and not visibly suffering in pain as you once were, that has been a minute or three now. Morgan here from alaska, wishing I had kept my foot in the door. Still the best hour spent in a good minute myself. I am okay, a case of a guy who's own decisions made him worse for it. Still sober after twenty eight years... math is not my high skill set, quit in 96. Never have wanted a drink since, still miss playing yet okay with it also, take care friend

[@GreatPlanet-c7o]

The video is from many years ago.

[@beanapalooza6614]

Yeah I just commented that this has too be at least 13 to 15 years ago. I do pray however this isn't something he has someone post ..posthumous 😮 which like Andy Kaufman 😅l

[@morgansword]

@@beanapalooza6614 Thank you for setting me straight. I thought I had watched this before!!

thank you Scott - great to see/hear

[@groovydjs]

Thank you brother!

[@JWEmbry-wc7qi]

The ol' Groovmeister strikes again!! That's a beautiful Tele my friend and some great sounds.

[@groovydjs]

Thanks again! Yeah, I loved that Tele. Wish it was still with me.

[@dangiven2686]

Scot's videos gave me the guts to start messing around and set up my guitar. Before, I had no idea that a neck was even adjustable. Thanks a lot, brother.

[@groovydjs]

My pleasure my friend. Gotta show that guitar who's the boss. lol

[@tlv7257]

Rock on Dr. Groovy! Many thanks!

[@BarryPoogy]

Dr. Groovy!!!!!! Scott Its been quite a journey and my favorite videos include tours of your collection. Always direct, informative and no nonsense. Thank you . I miss my RP200 which was a brother tp the multi effects you show. When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought, boy Scott looks young, must be a healthy lifestyle.

[@brianfoskett4410]

@24:42 Reach Around To Change Knobs! Arguably, One Of Dr. Groovy's Biggest Missed Opportunities!

[@wiseguy9202]

I think this was one of the first guitar channels I subscribed to when KZbin was new.

[@SD_UK]

Yeah, fair play to him. But still using the same camera / phone I fear .. ;)

[@AtticusStount]

This is the only guitar channel I will ever subscribe to.

[@realityconcepts4584]

Same here not sure If I fell off the face of the earth or just missed his content.

[@wiseguy9202]

@realityconcepts4584 he took a long hiatus due to medical issues so his newer videos fell out of my algorithm.

[@tmo7734]

Thanks Scott. Great video. Best wishes from the San Francisco Bay Area.

[@groovydjs]

Thanks, you too! We're not too terribly far apart from each other.

[@RRW276]

For me, Waylon Jennings had one of the best tones and effects that inspired me as a kid (and still does). When I’d hear the intro to Luckenbach or I’ve Always Been Crazy my ears would just perk up! I also love/loved the great Don Williams’ effects used and Johnny Lee. Speaking of Johnny Lee, you fulfilled my request for teaching the intro to Lookin’ for Love, which I now know by heart, thanks to you. I play the song whenever live and it’s one of my favorites to do.

[@jimdep6542]

Agree. My band was one of the opening acts for Waylon at the Salinas Country Fairgrounds back in 1981. It was also Shooter's 3rd birthday party and Jesse brought him out on stage. Plenty of pictures from that show, but still can't find a recording of it. Waylon sounded great, running through a huge Music Man cabinet for that show. I think he was using a Peavey head with the built in phase shifter. It sounded awesome. Our rhythm player / lead singer was able to play through it. One of the best afternoons of my life.

[@groovydjs]

I like your taste in music and love for the phase shifter on those classics. They just wouldn't sound right without it.

[@bajinno]

Thanks for posting this, Dr. Groovy. Hope all is well. Greetings from Manila.

[@groovydjs]

Great to hear from you. I hope all is well over there. I appreciate you checking out the licks!!!

[@jimmymurphy7789]

Way To Go Scott - you Hit it Out of the Park once again with your extremely useful (good old "Country Sense") Down-to-Earth videos - this one being of utmost importance for Beginners to learn about Guitar Effects. This one's a real "Bible" ! Thanks very much - keep up the good Work & good, improving Health. 🤠

[@54fighting5]

Thanks for keeping legendary "young Scott" alive through these great videos that I watched when I also was younger! I enjoyed them then, and still enjoy them. Just a reminder of how much info I gleaned from you over the years. I hope you are doing well sir...and thanks again for all you do. (I wish the damn notification bell from Screw Toob would do its job better) Edit: has anybody come up with a volume pedal since you made this that would rival the Morley? I still have my old Morley Vol/Wah combo pedal with all its glorious noise lol.

[@groovydjs]

I actually changed over to a "Lehle" volume pedal and it works great. They are $300...They better work well. lol I'm so glad that you have been watching for so long. You really like punishment. lol

[@jim_andrianakos]

I remember this channel and I remember you got me into Fender more over Gibson. After many years I’m glad I found this channel again. Rock on!

[@rexnorris3586]

Hope you are doing well. Miss seeing you on my notifications. Thanks for all the lessons. Have a good day, sir.

[@Mike-oj1tm]

Always great to see you Scott.

[@nazmoking3171]

Great to see Scotty back on the Tube! For years was my fave guitar channel (and this video shows you why).

[@ronws2007]

I have always learned from these videos and I started teaching myself guitar in October of 1974. But Scott, here, has so much wisdom. I even got the Digitech RP-55 based on his review and I liked the idea of a little box that can be A-B box connected to any system, whether a mixing console in rehearsal or even a PA system at a venue, whether a bar or a band stand in a casino. For example, I am close to Choctaw Casino in Durant, Ok and Winstar in Thackerville, Ok. I have been to Winstar and they have house bands that A-B box into the sound system in that area and do just fine. It's a small stage. So, I gave that and my Fender 85 amp and some guitars to a plumber that helped me and I wanted to return the favor. I have kept my Ibanez and got my self the Fender Mustang GTX 100 with footboard. 100 watts RMS, and it is a modeling amp and it is all I will ever need for home, recording, even performing. You just don't need much. I am still learning from Scott even though we are close in age. All you young people, listen to Scott and watch his videos and you will learn everything you need to play any style. Scott Grove should be recognized as a national treasure.

[@groovydjs]

You are way too kind my friend. Yeah, some of the simplest FX or modeling amps can get you through a ton of situations. I'm glad that they are doing the trick for you. Stay Groovy and thanks so much for writing in.

[@Earthshaker1965]

Hope you're getting and feeling a lot better. I was having flashbacks of some of your videos yesterday, and now I see you reappear today.... awesome 👍😎. Welcome back!!!🎸

[@groovydjs]

Many thanks for checking in on me. Things are going good. I've never stopped posting, KZbin just hasn't been featuring any of my videos for some reason. So, lots to catch up on if you wish. Stay GROOVY!

Hello Scott , I thought I lost your channel few years ago, just saw this video on my feed happy to see you again in health. I missed seeing your guitar collection at the back 😊

[@briannorman952]

Great classic video Dr Groovy. You’re completely correct about the compressor. I have that exact same one in my live pedal board and it’s always on. Neal Schon swears by this exact pedal he said he just cranks his up. Hope all is well my man been a subscriber a long time

[@groovydjs]

Cool, thanks! Yeah, you can't go wrong with that compressor for sure. You've seen me through some wacky times for sure. lol

[@jimyounger9490]

Awesome to see you again. I’m still subbed apparently. Good to see you Scott , you look great. Will watch today , it’s 5 in the morning and I just woke up , going back to sleep , lol.

[@TheTektronik]

My amp also has that hissing sound but everytime I touch the bridge, it goes away. I do have a noise gate on standby though. Glad to see you uploading again.

[@kimthompson5871]

Great to see you looking healthy . And yes I’ve always been a pedal junkie !

[@groovydjs]

Pedal junkies are always a good thing. Lots of fun and inspiration come from each new sound.

Hey Scott.....good to see you again, pal. So where'd you find the fountain of youth ? Let me know, I'll make the trip. How's your Johnson Millenium doing ? Still using it ? I always thought that sounded great. I've still got my Johnson J-Station. It's been over 20 years now.

[@groovydjs]

Still hanging on to some J-Stations myself. Glad to know that yours is still holding up. That fountain of youth is thanks to an old VHS recorder and hoarding a few old videos until now. lol

That is one cool Gene Simmons shirt. The demon himself!

[@jamessanders2164]

Hey Scott, I remember this video from back in the day. That Paul Stanley Silvertone Apocalypse guitar in the beginning still a great looking guitar. I just finished watching for nostalgia and learned a few things again from re-watching it. I need to figure out how to get that boner tone of yours! I have a fairly nice pedalboard I think. That I have been working on for a few years. Maybe we could come up with the boner tone or something pretty close to it. Hope all is well on your end man.

[@DwayneNixon]

Hello Dr. Groovy Fitting wearing a Gene Simmons t-shirt on his birthday. Hope you're doing well. ☮❤

[@JonnySoundSounds]

i dont know running a tonebender mk2 into a marshal jtm45 sounds like just absolute bliss. the best thing to remember is this " ive always said good tone is just an opinion" what ever you as the player think is great is great because guitar is all about expressing the feeling we feel through our part of a song

[@Samana009]

Good you are still here educating

[@groovydjs]

Still trying to do my part and not fade away.

[@Samana009]

@@groovydjs You will not, Sir...

[@gm-lb9oe]

Hi Scott, i have a old Fender M80, what do you think of them? I have the half stack. I also have a Custom Quad 200 half stack as well. The speakers for both are 4x12. What do you think of these??? Please let me know. Always loved your channel

[@groovydjs]

If I remember correctly, the M80 was the one with the gray carpet covering. They are a good, clean amp. I used to use a Fender Ultra-Chorus combo that was nearly the same amp. It sounded great with my pedalboard and I remember using the dirty channel as well and it sounded great. I know what the Kustom is, but have never played through one.

[@1337Hose1337]

Do you record with a VHS ? :)

Back when this was recorded....yes, most likely.

Holy cow! He looks about 25 years old. What happened? Is this a really old video or has Dr Groovy discovered the fountain of eternal youth?

[@rustyhighlander786]

I suspect he's resurrecting his much earlier made videos or else it's fountain of youth thing.

[@JonnySoundSounds]

as for fuzz one of the mosrite combo amps had a mosrite fuzzrite built in and thats one of the most nasty fuzz's built, a classic. so sometimes you can get fuzz outa an amp without a pedal haha. again just razzing you

[@groovydjs]

I've got built in fuzz too, it's just all on my face now. lol

[@mattproctor378]

👍!

[@groovydjs]

Thanks brother.

[@valdia1248]

E Bow?, Slide?

[@JonnySoundSounds]

technically though couldn't it be an input jack on the guitar because your inputting a cable to transfer signal, i thought an input jack just referred to the idea that you inputting a cable to do some sort of a jb in the case sending adio to the net unit in line. i didnt think input meant your sending a signal into the guitar, just playing devils advocate haha

[@groovydjs]

I always though of the guitar's jack as an output so that it lines up with pedals etc. They are labeled input and output...so, out of the guitar, into a pedal, out of the pedal and so on. I never want to run an input into an input. It keeps me from getting too confused. I REALLY don't need any further help being confused. lol

[@Keithphotorama]

You say “Beginners” might not know what they want, well duh, of course not. Even if every pedal was demonstrated they will still be beginners and still not know which pedal to get. I am a beginner and I have one pedal. What the heck am I supposed to do with it? First thing I need to do is learn how to play the guitar otherwise what the heck am I doing with a pedal? Ok, maybe I am being a bit harsh, just a bit, but still. Let’s say, since I am a beginner now with whatever pedal I have what’s going to happen to that pedal once I get past the beginners level? Hmm, well at least I had some experience with it and I could decorate my guitar room with pedal shelves to help collect an insane amount of dust. Right now I need to get back to practicing my guitar(s).

[@ronws2007]

So, a beginner has decided how special effects should be taught. Who'da thunk it?

[@jonbon7219]

wish I found this guy when I started 24 years ago lol

[@groovydjs]

I agree, practice is always first and pedals are for decoration until you end up finding a need for one.

[@Keithphotorama]

@@groovydjs I have a Cry Baby mini Wah 😁. Big fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan and his Voodoo song ( originally Jimi Hendrix). So, coordinating both hands and foot is a major challenge. Also, wah pedal encourages foot beats to keep track of all the beats. BTW, I am turning 62 in September and was born with severe hearing loss in both ears. Which is why learning the guitar is very important challenge to myself first before anyone else. Yes, pedals are awesome but not ready for them yet.

[@groovydjs]

@@Keithphotorama The NEED for them will either come or not. Some of the greats never used any at all. I would try something out at a music store in person before purchasing anything to see if it's YOU or not. I wish you all the best.
