Metal Guitar Stuff is the personal KZbin channel of the lead guitarist and composer of SHADOWMIND.

I have been teaching guitar for several years and produced numerous albums for my own band and other bands. I have been playing guitar since 2007.

[@GuajoloteGonzales]

Even if this is a metal oriented video, i must say that you're right, i just hate how modern guitar mixing sounds, it has too much mids, so i usually prefer the older style of mixing, particularly, the 60's one and i also prefer a mid scooped amp like a "blackface" or "silverface" Fender or a vintage style Mesa Boogie over the typical options (Marshall, Blackstar, Orange and so on), because i love how a humbucker guitar could sound very crystalline and in your face in those amps, and also, they were the choice of most of my favourite guitar players (mostly psychedelic rock ones).

scooped mid give more Omfff punchy palmuty vibe it melt and mix and mingle with drum and bass more, it become more support than "in your face" i use more mid now and i kinda miss old scooped! agree agree mid lead no place if mid rytmn take all place, (same with too bassy guitar that take bassdrum and drum space!) and then vocal -_-.. its hell lol... screetching growl "hey i only got some high pitch treble left?)

Scooping away or scooping a bunch on top? I honestly had no idea until I paused the video and googled it.

Yeah dude, like 95% of how-to vids (for anything music) are 99.9% useless. And most when they A/B their mixes to show how much better their spew is they sound exactly the same.

[@MassMultiplayer]

almost better to experiment and come up with what we think sounds good
