Do you have a guitar question you'd like me to answer? Post in the Comment section.

[@MichaelFlemingJr]

My brother. I’m really trying to get the quartet riffs up

[@im_a_ge4299]

Thanks for explaining this. I got a strat and just been randomly switching through them 😂

[@harris0n_t]

speaking of tone, Kerry likes slap back delay on his youtube videos 😅

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

This is another awesome video Maestro. It is truly a rabbit hole. We can discuss strings and guages, tube vs solid state amps, solid vs hollow body, neck materials, pick types and thicknesses, active vs passive pickups, etc, etc, etc.... Everything you mention is on point, as always...but the biggest point you make is that your tone comes from your hands.

HSS is the move! 💯

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Yes sir!

[@Greenblinker]

Как же меня вдоновляют эти видео. Картинка на последних видео просто огонь! Добирусь до дома, подбиру риф, на котором ты показывал разницу в звуке звукоснимателей)

[@manuelmaindron92]

Well said @Kerry 2 Smooth" Marshall ! Thank you for your wise advices

[@mariocaraballo6449]

Kerry! Too smooth! Love the detailed explanation!

[@Kerry2smooth]

You're welcome!

[@frankloubadi9161]

i'M A church guitarist really i learnt a lot from this video especially the use of neck pickup😇😇

[@larryherbert252]

Good information! Thanks

[@Kerry2smooth]

Thanks! I just uploaded a new video. Hope you check it out!

[@AlfredObadiah]

Hi Kerry! Absolutely love your new video format with the response to questions. I feel stuck at learning how to add riffs in between chords, which is key in RnB. What would be your tips on this? Thanks!

[@1343letsgohome]

u got it all covered！thanks ！

[@Doramus726]

This was great! Thanks!!

[@mrcjjr]

Nice video (as usual). The one other aspect of sound is the tone knobs, especially on the guitars with two tone knobs. Blending them when using multiple pickup locations definitely can make a difference👊🏼.

[@reefgrof5983]

Id suggest you also add some chorus if you want to make the sound more lush.. tremolo instead of chorus is also a nice touch, just try and see if you like... and for all in pedals that arent to expensive but very decent for live/studio are the Boss GT series; you might find a used one for 100 bucks. Its got all the things he mentioned, and also a pickup simulator: this means even if your guitar has a different pickup setup than his (or wicherever one you want) you can set it in the pedal and the pedal wil mimic it.. cool feature in wich i can make for example a les paul sound like a fender strat or vice versa.

[@jamesenglish6044]

Lawrence Jones is that Man!

[@freshmike9445]

Hey sir! Thank you for this one! And ya, like you said, you can make any pick ups sound amazing! Question: you never mentioned a wah pedal. Do you use one? Or do you have a wah dialed into your board? And if you did use one, do have a brand pref?

[@freshmike9445]

Sorry to bug, but one more! Lol, I have a tele, what's your thoughts on the lipstick pick up?

[@dbo514]

The neck pickup has that warm sound, but what pickup do you typically choose for a rhythm part needs to fit into the mix?

[@user-wk7zc2hh9z]

Awesome information, what pick and thickness do you favor for R&B?

[@ndoukouman]

Instead of the helix I got myself the go-pod wireless by line pro , smaller than the helix and cheaper with almost the same configuration

[@utahborn5621]

Was waiting on you to play . You talked through the whole vid Dang Dude

[@manuelmaindron92]

I got The Boss GT-100

[@ND-9]

Is Kerry’s Camp good for daisy fresh rookies? I mean I’m just starting.

[@Kerry2smooth]

Yes we have a weekly beginners class that's has produced amazing results

[@Kadenxe]

what do you think makes a great riff? like if you were in the studio with summer walker and she asks you to play an 8-16 bar loop what is your thought process for creating one

[@franksupercoolchristian3499]

Have you ever had to lower the strings on your guitar to get a smoother movement and sound

[@eliasrayz1412]

please fix the audio... i cant listen to this

[@DesconectadoOaxaca]

It fixes after 1:00

[@Cr8z13]

You're right, you don't have a lot of tech knowledge. If you did you'd know that the amp affects tone more than anything else and you spent no time on that here.

[@Kerry2smooth]

😂

[@iam607]

Lol most RnB guitarists run direct my friend

[@jaydenhoward8670]

​@@iam607really hmmm
