Mikey's predominant use of the Ernie Ball volume pedal caused him to spend most of his performance time balanced on one leg, this would eventually lead to circulation problems causing his left leg to become numb. In 1996, during an acoustic tour known as the "Sit and Ski" tour, he was reminded of how much more comfortable and accurate his playing was while he was seated. Subsequently, Houser returned to playing all shows seated in 1997. His playing style used a volume pedal for sonic effect, rather than just for volume control. From Michael Houser Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Houser

@@Guitargate Mikey says in this 1996 interview that he's never known a single scale in his life besides his own pattern that he started playing the very first time he ever picked up a guitar. This is a huge part of why his sound is so unique & distinctive (along with pushing his volume pedal up & down with every note). He carved out his own style rather learning traditional styles. I'll paste that section of the interview here: Houser: “When I first picked up my first guitar, and started playing it, I established a little pattern, on the guitar. And I have expanded and worked with that pattern for all these years. But almost instantly, as soon as I started playing the guitar, that was it. That was the sound, that was the pattern that I would build everything else from.” Interviewer: “When you first started, did you start electric?” Houser: “Yeah I started playing electric guitar. I had an acoustic for about a week. I immediately got an Ibanez Telecaster. So I very quickly established -- like I said, it's a pattern, on the neck, and it's a physical thing; I could show it to you. And as far as I know, it had nothing to do with scales. I still don't know a scale to this day. And it's very strange.” Bruce Hampton says it's some kind of weird Middle-Eastern scale or something. And once I found that little pattern, I was locked in. And it has nothing to do with what key, or a scale -- It's actually WRONG, is what it is. It's not right. It's just that I've gotten -- I've played with it so much that, uh -- It's very strange.” Interviewer: “If it sounds right though, who says it's wrong?” Houser: “Well, I know. It's not technically right. I mean, technically I should be doing a couple of different notes, but it's those places where…” Interviewer: “Yeah but says who? Stravinsky? Mozart?” Houser: “Well exactly, exactly. Yeah. So, that was it. And then once I started playing with JB, y'know, it was all over after that!” Interviewer: “I love the notion that once you found the pattern you were locked in.” Houser: Yeah, I was! And I still do it to this day. That same exact "first-time-I-picked-up-the-guitar" lead. I still do it every night.

Don't forget, Houser was known as "Panic" in college because of his reoccurring panic attacks. (He said, "I want to be more than Panic, I want to be widespread...") This may also have influenced his decision to be more out of the spotlight (so to speak) in terms of his place on stage, hair in his face, etc.

But his overplaying of volume pedal began make it harder to stand and play, and once he found his place sitting, it was surely his thing. I was always amazed but this sleepy man, sitting there so calmly, playing sounds that made us dance our asses off into sweaty bliss. How did this guy sitting there create such energy?

Mikey was really one of the most underrated guitar players in the 90’s especially in the jam scene.

Either way, Panic is Panic but Mikey Panic is a treasure we will always have
@johnthornton42664 жыл бұрын
Hah.... hair metal isn't fair. I know it's easy to get that vibe from Jimmy's speed sometimes. Jimmy comes from a Jazz approach that has always been his style. John McLaughlin and Steve Morse is where that comes from. I'm not saying " Damn it Crabz" now you have to like it now you know it's not Motley Crue. Jimmy has the ability to drop right into some crazy grooves and rhythm guitar on a dime. That's not an ability all lead players have. Jimmy uses his blistering notes per beat and the unique modal structure more than he used to. Probably from touring with McLaughlin. I'm not disagreeing with you. Jimmy is one of the only players I can listen to and appreciate the note count spinning out of control. For contrast listen to Many Rivers to Cross from Wood. Then Diner from last week at Beacon. The Diner solo approached a Sonic Boom but it may have enough finesse and articulation in it for you to kind of see what I'm saying. As I said before. I'm not arguing or disagreeing or tlying to change your mind. I actually agree on some levels with you. ✌ Music is the best format for World Peace, if only for a moment

If you're going play Mike Houser, you've almost got to get a volume pedal. The constant volume-swell vibrato effect is unlike any other player I've ever heard. And yes, the volume swell vibrato is why he sits to play, he messed up his hip. I suspect the reason he's cordoned off in his own little area is partially out of necessity and also because he was painfully shy. I miss him a lot.

Dude!! Holy hell!! I've been waiting on this moment for 20+ years!! Mike never got the credit he deserved, imo of course. It's great to see a trained pro slice up Houser's skill set. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Now, let's do it again! Waiting on your next WSMFP video... with Mikey of course 😁😁😁👏👏👏✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Awesome breakdown. House-era Panic was legendary. Some of the best times of my life. Do a live version of “Tunnel Of Love” or “Telegraph Road” by Dire Straits. Knopfler is a guitar god.

You have been on a major role. I've been loving all of your videos. Excellent stuff. Keep it coming. It's about time you did some WSMFP. In this video you mentioned how you loved the percussion. My favorite percussionist in the Jam scene is Jim Loughlin from the band moe. I highly recommend you check them out.

I vote for the original setup. I liked how the dry erase board, dad mug and desk of papers and books was over your shoulder. It was a very approachable and non-intimidating backdrop. As if we were at our own desks jamming to videos. If you go with the camera angle in this video, close the sliding door, the stairway is distracting ;) As another commenter wrote, if you were sitting on a goat I'd still watch your stuff! Thanks for these great videos!

The current angle is ideal for these reaction videos. But it was fun/interesting to see the rest of your set up (would love to see those drums featured ha), so perhaps show us those angles in other types of videos...

Thank you for this. While your analysis is mostly way over my head, Panic has filled my heart for 30 years. A crushing Houser solo like this can still bring tears to my eyes. I hope you explore more of their catalog. So many shows are available on Panicstream.com. Well done.

Love your channel dude! Honestly, I don't understand half the stuff you're saying since I don't play guitar, but your love for good music is infectious. You've already covered most of my favorite bands, panic, phish, dead but how can you not have covered Warren Haynes yet! There are hundreds of Allman Brothers or Govt Mule shows to pick from but one of personal favorites is when he sits in with Dave Matthews and covers Neil Youngs Cortez the Killer.

Great job breaking the song down and glad you enjoyed it. Hat tip to James Francis for picking a high quality video of one of their more instructive versions of Chilly. So many times I've seen zealous Panic fans throw a poor quality take on a new listener and it just falls flat. I play in a Panic tribute band and we geek out on these songs in much the same way. It's refreshing to see a high quality player as yourself honestly hit the high points of their sound with some authentic aplomb. Enjoyed it. You have a great ear. I might have to become a student. I am the JB (the singer) in our band.

I was at that show all three nights and it was definitely some of if not the best panic I ever heard. Mikey had bad "panic"attack's in front of a crowd there for there name .so he would sit at the end of the stage in the cut with his hair in his eyes hiding the crowd. That also was one of Sonny the" percussionist"that inspired me to play percussion ,and about the time the term "turn JB up" came to be he is notorious for being low in the mix back then .but that entire show is on a DVD check it out it's been refreshing to watch a Mikey cherry getting popped after all these years . cool man cool cool
