LMAO he did the ending with the vocal thats fuckin boss

[@MatsDagerlind]

I'm not into modern metal at all. I'm a 1970´s classic hard rock guy. Still, this was quite a nice listening experience.

[@mr.tryhardguitarguy2842]

Dad rock you mean?

[@incarnate9914]

The only metal I listen to is whatever Jason writes lol

[@silentnoah]

Dadrock. Buttrock.

[@LAZLOUFORIA1379]

Well said

[@aidanloewen2712]

i think it comes down to people being afraid of walking outside their comfort zones and failing to experience things for what they are, but rather what they THINK they are or what they've been told they are. It's one of the great barriers in an individuals mind.

[@simalot1]

I do love mark's solo, but I also think that Jason's playing of it gives it true representative justice and respect; it's just too damn good!

[@azuraug8693]

I love that I can say that not even Jason Richardson with all his chops can play Mark's solo like Mark can

[@Phybia]

It's like Picazzo painting Da Li

[@lukedavies6646]

Jason can shred his balls of but he doesn't quite have the finesse Mark does.

[@m4ssee]

And that's the beauty of playing guitar or really any instrument. You can be the world's best shredder or faster on the blast beats but that's only one part of playing.

[@AndrewLein]

haha true

[@JJLipton]

Really? I didn't really like the ending solo honestly. It sounded like noodling. I wish they would've brought in a solo after the bridge over the chords to the chorus. It would've been so 80's and awesome.

This is not a JP, this guitar here is the Sterling Cutlass 7 Jason Richardson signature

[@tylerlacroix615]

@@ezradcunha Sorry to burst your bubble, but yeah that's a custom JP sig, before the JR sterling model came out, and I don't even think the JR EBMM sig wasn't public yet either.

[@Below-Zero.]

Nice guitar.

[@Morning-ju6wu]

killer :)

[@stephentyree9296]

Having a really tough time getting a tight rhythm tone with this plugin. I'm using a MIM Fender Telecaster with single coil pickup, Presonus Audiobox, and an Aercessories DI box. Any advice? By the way, my DAW is Studio One Professional 3.

[@joeymusic]

Try humbucker pickups

[@stephentyree9296]

@@joeymusic Thank you for the advice. Thanks for awesome plugins. I'm having a blast.

[@madebybelle6965]

Its pretty good for rythm. For leads it just lacks a lot of sustain. Its hard to make the notes sing. Like for tapping and legatos you really gotta use power to make sound come out. I've tried to tweak it, but i guess Jason likes it that way. Overall i got it for 20 bucks when it was on sale and for that price its amazing.

[@peepinyowindow4517]

What wood is that fretboard?

[@Gravdood]

Man the tattoo on Jason's left hand is sick.

[@Iceboy575655]

Did he just turn the volume down to get the clean tone or??

[@alitsatria6527]

is this live perform ? how can he switch to clean fx ?

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

that guitar is not too short for Drop G#? Periphery dudes use 26.5 inch scale lenght, also Ola Englund :V

[@dumithegreat3892]

Painkiller488 X it’s in G actually hahah

[@jmhadahorse]

I use a 7 string Les Paul tuned to F# standard, but I have my guitar properly intonated with the correct gauges of string to keep them from ringing sharp. Scale length controls your point of intonation, string gauge controls tension. Shorter scale lengths/small points of intonation and loose string tension means you’re more likely to have strings immediately ringing sharp with less force applied, which will make your sound muddier. The correct string gauges and MOST IMPORTANTLY a trained, steady hand and good muscle memory from proper practice can do wonders. Longer Scale length means you have larger points of intonation and have much more lenience operating with less string tension.

[@llehmarkx]

woah \m/

[@BrettFairchild]

is he playing through an OD as well?

How did he get that JP7 to look like that.

[@zedboiii]

cant hear the live guitar :(

[@anwarannasco]

👍

[@josbudon9245]

in all honesty, I already know I love this song and good ol' JR, but I really wanted to appreciate the tone and performance here, which was pretty difficult, considering it wasn't easy to separate from the rest of the track. I kinda wish the guitar was louder in the mix since its the highlight of the video. still love it tho, much love for Sturgis and the gorgeous tone 👌👏

[@KeannuReevezzz03]

Jos Budon from what im hearing his live performance is on the left side guitars

[@josbudon9245]

yeah it is, what I was saying is that despite this being mixed really well (I mean obviously, I love Taylor and Joey, whichever one mixed it) it's just that I wish it was mixed more towards emphasizing the live guitar so I can dig the tone more. But I already know that this package is a fuckin steal, and once I get the cash to spare imma buy the shit out of it lmao.

May i ask what cab/mic he's using here for the rythm guitar?

[@banovidiu7142]

I meant on the Toneforge, i've seen there are 2 types of it. Wish you would do an on/off video like you did with Ben Bruce, actually showing how it reacts. Here it could be studio magic and the tone could not be similiar.

How does your neck not hurt constantly from bending over the guitar like that! 😱

[@lucyferina]

I always find that when someone gets those awseome tones with just the plugin and "no post processing" very hard to believe after seeing all the studio gear behind him, I have owned most of the available plugins and its very hard to get that tone by plugin just straight into the audio interface, daw and plugin, I would like to see someone demo that from scratch and no other plugins used and see if they can get that awesome tone that way.

[@lucyferina]

I guess I have never to this day have seen anyone demo the plugin with unedited video of the signal chain and the tone setup up to that magic tone. I would love if you do that with a simple interface, a daw and the plugin. I I have a focusrite scartett I4 , a windows laptop with enough power to open multiple plugins and not even notice it, and Reaper as the daw. if you can demo with a similar setup with no other post production then lets see it.

[@SentientHusk]

Are the backing guitars Toneforge too?? Did he completely re-record/reamp the song?

[@bellmeisterful]

Dudes beyond phenomenal on guitar. So are the others in band. Song is way too technical though, for me I should say. Maybe I fall into Dad Metal. I'm a metal guitarist and too much going on just loses something. Its like, the hairs will never stand up listening to it. I would love to learn from him though to augment my technique.

[@jwcorcoran9838]

Mark Holcomb wrote the solo, Jason just played it here

[@aledesma6000]

i wish they would release only a raw guitar track or two with raw drums and watch him actually jam for real. This obviously pre-recorded since he switches to clean guitars so quick. (and even if someone try to disprove i still can't really hear that live guitar sound) It also sounds like it has bass, heavy mixing and possibly even mastered. I just wanna genuinely know what we are paying for... am i right or am i right

[@aledesma6000]

this also goes for the first video on the tone forge list

[@VinnieBatten]

Suijin the Water God - Obviously he just recorded the DI, and it's pretty easy to automate the change to the clean channel in your DAW

[@jessegolden23]

Vinnie Batten some people don't understand how much you can do with a vst setup vs live rig

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Patch changes are easy to do real time when working with VST plugins. Just automate some MIDI signals in there and you don't have to worry about it. I think that Jason recorded one track live, then dubbed the other - Then some light editing and mixing/mastering. Because of course they would - They wanna show their product in the best light possible. And this sort of thing is indicative of how the plugin will sound like in a finished production, why show it some other way? You need to keep in mind that this is more of an ad for the plugin than an actual guitar playthroughs - There are more "raw" playthroughs of this song elsewhere on the internet.

[@caixiuying8901]

Suijin the Water God Automated Patch Changes via MIDI You can play through a VST Amp live using the DAW You could even run a VST Amp with the Cab Sims off into a real Poweramp then into a real Cab
