I Finally Captured SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE!

[@jimmackey6110]

Try adding a volume pedal to the 12 string so you can get a swell

[@YesOkayButWhy]

Brilliant idea

[@SEV7V]

can't wait for Gibson to "come up with this" idea. lol

[@Weshopwizard]

Only $90k.

[@peacesells6005]

DUDE I’D KILL TO SEE A FULL COVER OF THE CALL OF KTULU ON THIS GUITAR

[@MedianNest]

this

[@cpglaive]

It would be a cool idea to tune each individual string out of the 12 on the upper neck to a note in the chromatic scale until you have every note in the chromatic scale so it would resonate better on every note

[@nagualnazgul3101]

That!

[@rickc2102]

sgtar

[@valmarin4260]

That would be wild

[@stevebeaney9684]

That's how a sitar works, 11 chromatic stings.

[@Malady]

You need to add reverse reverb after the 12 string output!

[@OODZUTSU]

Yeah, def thinking about some fx... distortion on one and clean on the other would be cool.

[@Exercise-01]

🙂 Good idea

[@alyx8522]

Guess my random inability to sleep was a sign to be early to this video

[@edsknife]

I can tell you're single if you can't sleep.

[@mayankmujumdar1452]

Wow! this sounds like you have a strings section from an orchestra playing harmonies in the background. Would love to hear some Pink Floyd on this guitar.

[@TimHoustonSB]

That is so cool!! 🎸👏 Alt tunings would be insane 😮

[@horriblepizza4647]

That's what I was thinking! You could tune the 12 string side open, play within the key, and have almost a sitar sound.

[@nickmastro6870]

I hope he tries this in the future great idea

[@jasondorsey7110]

​@@horriblepizza4647Leon Todd did a video on this and it does sound pretty cool

[@JDSundeavors]

That's an incredible natural effect. Obviously, there will be more notable songs to attempt, but I feel compelled to say that Ween's "The Argus" would sound amazing on that guitar. Thanks for all the great content.

[@thew1zard__]

ween mention!!!!!!!

[@YesOkayButWhy]

I second this

[@ZedGreco]

Hey Mike, don’t know if you know the tune, but would love to hear Voice of the Soul by Death on that thing. The resonance is so ghost like and beautiful at the same time.

[@drewh.2816]

You should put a capo down the neck. If you put it an octave or 5th above and play in E it'll probably sound like a killer shimmer reverb. A capo would also help to transpose if you have trouble getting a particular note to resonate loud enough or to resonate a lower harmonic.

[@drewh.2816]

You might be able to control the reverb time too if you put one of those string deadeners on it. It would have to be barely on it but it could help make it a bit more usable outside of being a drone.

[@teresathomley3703]

Wow- I mean, just, wow. Nice to have friends like Greg, eh? I think it'd be nice to hear the beginning of "Achilles Last Stand" maybe.

[@brushstroke3733]

Good call. The outtro to "Achilles" would also sound awesome. And the cool arpeggiated walk down riff in the middle of "Carousellambra" would be dope.

[@ImYourOverlord]

Explore that with various effects. What fun!

[@davidrees1840]

Jimmy Page mentioned the beautiful effect of this sympathetic vibration after getting his dbl neck. My Solo kit dbl does it, but obviously not wired like yours, which is brilliant!

[@stevebeaney9684]

Try a capo on the 12string when you change key.

[@sinenkaari5477]

Riders On The Storm would be epic

[@sucodecupuacu]

Any chance you would be willing to share the wiring diagram?

[@MichaelScarNh8sgoldenface]

That sound is awesome. How does Landslide sound ?

[@mjrdonut]

Definitely wanna hear something like Weird Fishes/Arpeggi by Radiohead with that kind of effect :0

[@DeathPenny]

Dude that is amazing, it's like a built-in pad that automatically shifts as you change positions - I love it!!

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

that would get me writing outside the box, i like things that do that, sometimes it can be a simple thought even.

[@tom_sundog]

I'm a sitar player and noticed this too when I first picked up a double neck! I think its a really untapped resource of this instrument and I'm so happy to see someone finally using it

[@HannahCope88]

I loved that part of the original video about the double neck. That sympathetic resonance was pretty cool. I think about that effect every single time I pick up my Jaguar and I see another string vibrating on it 🙂. Those sounds you have coming out of it now are just amazing, really quite ethereal!

[@basfdasm]

Do love is on the way by Saigon Kick. Bet that would be awesome

[@markeades7066]

Diary of a madman intro!

[@ginge4189]

closer to the heart

[@hugh3333]

Great to hear an effect that isn't an effect. It's real!

[@JoeR203]

Have you tried it with a Capo on the 12 string?

[@robdavis8307]

That is one of the coolest things ever done to a guitar. Very nice. Can't wait to hear what this inspires.

[@bassfingers]

I showed this to my non-musician brother. The first thing he said was “That reminds me of “All Alone” by Mad Season”. If you watch a live version you’ll see Mike McCready on a Gibson 1275 doing exactly this. I don’t know if he’s modified his in any way but the effect still comes through. Those sympathetic overtones would make a cool sounding loop. Many thanks ✌️❤️

[@yaminub]

My band does Over the Hills and I was already planning on breaking the 12/6 out for the next gig. I'm going to switch it to the middle position and have both necks active at the end for that organ sound, thanks for the idea, Mike!

[@XXIII_89]

I bet the double neck would be a great way to get a neat drone sound to shred your sitar-itar over the top of!

[@jwilder2251]

I thought of Over the Hills and Far Away upon first strum, and boom you went there 🤘

[@pstudio4096]

Hi Mike, of course Fade to black. I thought about nothing else matters but you did as well. Can't wait to hear the chorus chords on this one! Great video. Keep having fun that's the most important of all. 🤘

[@southaustinlyfe9497]

Sounds like a shimmer reverb! Very cool!

[@matcoffidis1135]

Gotta say, that sounds really cool! Love it....✌️

[@aerongemini]

Dude, I'd love to hear (in the alternate tuning) you playing The Rain Song on that. 🎸🤘

[@teresathomley3703]

Absolutely- good call

[@corporalrich]

Totally a different kind of reverb. That's awesome to get perfect intonation from both sides like that.

[@HalfpennyTerwilliger]

That's really cool. There's so many stuff to try with various tunings and/or capo.

[@benjimartinnc]

This guitar makes the most awesome, haunting sound I have ever heard. Well done!

[@Pungzor]

This reminds me of how Ace Frehley used a double necked guitar(6-string neck and mandolin neck) on the recording of his song Fractured Mirror from his 1978 solo album. Tuning the mandolin side to open E and letting it drone while he played the melody on the 6-string neck.

[@jasonharris2291]

My uncle had an original one of these from the late 60's. He opened up the case when I was a teenager, but wouldn't let me touch it because it was worth more than a new car.

[@Spade777_]

Yeah I noticed page started using a double neck sg in later years to reach / have further frets

[@sarguitars6603]

I have my Warmoth 12 over 6 wired in stereo so I can switch between necks or blend them with a modified stereo volume pedal wired as a balance pedal but still with a stereo output. Just 1 jack - TRS !

[@chrisa1125]

That is freaking awesome!

[@TheRevkeyes]

Great video! Sympathetic vibration carries over into life itself.

[@markmoreno1978]

Dude that sounds freaking phenomenal! You're right though, a very heavenly sound!

[@milosbilos3186]

Beautiful !!

[@chrisvaughan159]

Thanks, that is a magical sound you have discovered. Someone's going to want to design a pedal for that before too long!

[@Gin132456]

this is like on the violin where if you want to vibrato an open string, you can vibrato the adjacent string with the same note and it will resonate

[@mogmason6920]

6:20 My favourite chord sounds beautiful with this!

[@johncrafton8319]

I need to hear the Rain Song on that setup. Need to. Seriously.

[@kempcky]

So beautiful!

[@bryancopeland2540]

Justin Hawkins plays one of these in Open Fire! I always thought this was the baddest double neck guitar ever!

[@missingremote4388]

That is an awesome effect with your double neck

[@lemac3200]

Bro! That's soo cool! That was the sound I was looking for since months! Try to add effects like Chorus or Flanger to the 12-String-side. Now you could even do a double Wet-Dry-Rig! Damn, so many options🤩

[@ryandoli7781]

This would sound awesome for playing the intro to Title Fight's head in the ceiling fan. It would be perfect for the ambiance!

[@andym2612]

Interesting way of wiring it. I think I'll keep mine the way it is. Awesome sound though. Only thing I hate about the axe is playing standing up. Holding nearly 15 pounds of guitar is not good for my back and shoulder.

[@Robyn_iz_Here]

Thats awesome! I think All Apologies and the Unplugged version of Pennyroyal Tea would sound great on it

[@markeades7066]

That is so cool man!

[@UnvisibleINK]

Wanted to hear how the six string sounds as a resonator when you're playing the twelve.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Not as cool.

[@UnvisibleINK]

@@TheArtofGuitar i believe that, but not knowing first hand has left a void in my life.

[@Exercise-01]

It's like a drone/shimmering reverb-ish all at once.

[@THEREFILLSBAND]

The best example of this is the Ace Frehley solo album song Fractured Mirror - done back in 78

[@23dvs]

That’s really cool….maybe experiment with open tunings on the 12 string (even using a capo) depending on the key you’re playing in.

[@sonor72]

Dude i had my phone bluetooth connected to my home stereo system and this was CRAZY TO HEAR

[@TSGEnt]

Terrific mod! I can totally hear the options in the studio with that sound. one "fat" guitar for sure. What effect do you hear when playing the 12 string side? How does the 6-string side resonate?

[@Dreyno]

Brian Eno and the Edge will be fighting over vintage 1275s now.

[@thedarkcarny7364]

That is very cool, you've got to love harmonic resonance. As the notes rang out for a bit, it started to remind me of the sound of Tibetan Singing Bowls. I'm now wondering what that would sound like if you got a few tuned to specific notes and put them in from of the amp. Especially the crystal bowls, those ones kick out some mega sound. As for riffs, I'd love to hear the intro to Megadeth's In my Darkest Hour, I think that would sound nice. For creep factor, the xylophone riffs of King Diamond's Two Little Girls.

[@johncrafton8319]

You could even use a capo or different tunings on the top to suit the song you're playing underneath.

[@briankeenan4901]

AWESOME!!!

[@MatthieuE]

I think it could be useful to have a way to mute the upper strings (a button, a pedal, a switch, your arm/wrist with a new technique ?). I feel it could open some possibilities to be able to let them ring or mute them for specific chords transitions or in mid riff to create emphasis, just like a piano pedal would do on the piano strings.

[@jrrlovecraft6505]

Such an awesome mod! Reminds me a lot of classical Harp-guitar playing but instead of bass strings resonating its like your guitar is driving a harp

[@notzipfy916]

That’s what shimmer pedals are for. This is definitely cooler than some pedal though

[@itsgradie9846]

i feel like i could listen to this and put some handpan and waterfall sfx behind it haha

[@jwilder2251]

Would love to see a guitar version of Your Time is Gonna Come organ played on the 6, hearing only the 12

[@verbalium5517]

in my darkest hour please!!!

[@rickc2102]

perfect reverb

[@Ben_the_Ignorant]

cool T-shirt, man

[@revjeffg]

Very cool! Def try some open tunings on the 12-string too👍

[@mikehill3426]

Wow, so cool. Maybe try alternate tunings or capo on the 12 string side.

[@anthonyw5261]

Saw a video of some of Chuck Shuldiner's riffs without distortion. They sounded awesome. On your double neck would really amp up the ambiance. Cthulu is going to be amazing

[@MossTheBoss]

You can't go wrong with any Zep or Metallica acoustic piece, but one I'd really like to hear played like this is Close My Eyes Forever by Lita & Ozzy. Dee, Goodbye to Romance, and the beginning to Diary of a Madman I bet would sound great, too!

[@mitchellparadise3801]

Awesome. My first thought is putting a pot on the 12 string output, do you can do swells and mix on the fly

[@guitarlife6190]

I would try some open tunings. Also try a sliding capo to hear what that would do

[@MarkGray1970]

that is really cool!

[@johnthebassman]

Does your right hand ever hit the toggle switch? Looks like it's right under your palm!

[@veronatragedy7016]

wHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU PLAY THE 12 STRING? dOI YOU Get the resonance effect when you play the 12 string too, from the 6th string neck??? I wanna hear that effact as you play the 12 string

[@chadlong1109]

Just looking at that guitar makes my back hurt, but that sounds great.

[@ch3nz3n]

A way to lower the volume for the 12 string circuit would be the next thing. That way you could mix the effect at the guitar.

[@rkchang77]

I'm curious about 2 things: 1. Does this mean that the only way to truly turn off one side is to simply unplug it? 2. What if one neck was in standard tuning, and the other was in an alternate tuning? Even if you simply did Eb tuning on one, and standard on the other, does that give a dissonant effect, or does it still find a way to find a complementary tone to it? The sound experimentation ideas are endless!

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

This is the perfect mod for a double neck!! Can you please share how this was done? I’m saving up for one and would love to make the same mod.

[@mattevans060972]

Can’t decide if I like the sound or not. It’s a really interesting idea though and a really fun experiment.

[@colten2524]

you should definitely try making a song with this

[@LaPiernaDeMiAbuela]

Do Yes - Starship Trooper!!!

[@brianekholm6100]

Very cool

[@50footRingo]

That's wild

[@kennoble1479]

TUNE PAIRED STRINGS UP OR DOWN A FIFTH TO ADD MORE POTENTIAL RESONANT NOTES AND POTENTIAL FOR RESONANT CHORDS

[@MHT-u_O]

welcome home (sanitarium) and wish you were here! :3

[@grahamsecr3677]

I guess you could get the same effect by standing an electroacoustic next to your amp. I’ve noticed that mine resonates to all sorts of sounds just hanging on the wall.

[@yk-el3rk]

Breathe-Pink Floyd!
