Stef Carpenter Special Live

[@shearfury147]

stephen carpenter was the reason i started playing guitar. the first song i ..ever..learned to play was shove it my own summer. be quiet and drive was the second. engine number 9 is one of the baddest songs ever! I cant even begin to tell you his influence on my playing. my hero and a legend

[@mrcharlez666]

We're gonna need some new playthrough videos with those guitars, Stef.

@@enriqueguevara5689 For real. Sick of watching playthrough's where the guy is just miming over the studio recorded track. So lame...

[@piptyson5512]

Very cool. Stef and Deftones have influenced a lot of us for so many years. And damn he knows how to spec out bad ass guitars lol

[@MuammarElKhatib]

I play the guitar, and I studied classical guitar formally. I think he's a very good guitar player. He's able to create very unique armony. That's all that matter if you are a musician, that the notes you play make people feel something.

[@HiThereFaceHere]

This is so badass!!! I'm glad ESP is always cool with their endorsed guitarists showing other brands love too. I can't remember who but another person with ESP is now with Keisel too

[@PierceAkers]

joshua travis?

[@samyapmetal]

Andy James?

[@DavidNwokoye]

Cole Rolland?

[@endezeichengrimm]

I don't know how that works. I think they don't give people an ultimatum, because they might just leave.

[@HiThereFaceHere]

I've been searching for who it was since I posted this and it's starting to drive me insane

[@mot_wadd3441]

I loved the insight Stef gave from the first question! Koi and D Eyes are just masterpieces

[@mot_wadd3441]

Not to mention the struggles he had with his rig. Such a cool look into things. I think that may have been why he held back from Gore while he fixed all that up. Hope to see more Koi songs live!

[@8eight104]

Kiesel stays winning. I was a homeless veteran until October of last year. My Kiesel actually survived the streets, traveled the world, and toured onstage. They are incredible guitars.

[@DiamondLifer]

How are you doing these days?

[@8eight104]

@@DiamondLifer I work for a production company called Forthright Booking and I'm touring next month with a band called Pound.

LOL When he was like "he doesn't eat shit" I literally choked on my coffee laughing so hard!!! 🤣

[@dandylion6]

Stef is where we all want to be. He barely knows what he’s doing, but is still a genius.

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Finally after 10+ years we get a video of Stef talking shop aka his rig! And in-depth insight on his rig his struggles with it and what he’s using. Awesome video thanks for this! Thanks for ripping the set list off the stage in Chicago Huntington Bank Pavilion last summer and handing it to me lol. Love u Stef!

[@timmystoner7219]

This man needs more spotlight love his riffs he is just unreal love they are one of the best bands out there period

[@noAPlease]

Imagine building such a great guitar, that very well known guitarists who are married to brands and have been for years still want to seek you out to build one with you. Really says a lot about just how great Kiesel is. Thanks for sharing, Jeff!

[@samuellowther1994]

I can't believe BATTLEAXE is getting love. Also my favorite Deftones song. ATF is my favorite record of theirs. So tasty to hear all this from these guys.

[@Insignia27]

My favorite too. I have listened to it 100’s of times

[@toneskiadam4068]

Stef is so cool and layed back one of my favorite guitarist

[@rodmunch7278]

I saw him in Charlottesville, April '98. Up close. Live. You don't get a better demonstration than that! I'm going to watch women do yoga.

[@IceCubeInMyIceTea]

This dude has made some of my favorite riffs of all time.

[@trajanschwencke]

This is the coolest collaboration in music. Thank you gentlemen! ❤

[@jg7665]

Great seeing you guys Sat. I heard about your co. All white guitar love it! Love you too,Stef. J.G. Sac. CA

[@bradylasserre9320]

its so cool to see stef refer to the battle axe riff as a "snake charming" riff. ive always said the same thing! it always had that middle eastern/snake charm vibe in my opinion

[@hobo1704]

My favourite song from them

[@fatsuperfly]

That awesome, also kudos to Esp, just shows they love the artist, and know they have love somewhere but, hey fans of instruments.. they can share man… lol. Devin Townsend also coming on board, was very cool. Much respect to all of you.

[@miguel-db9xf]

The main man behind Deftones. Deftones w/o chino can't exist but Stephen is totally the reason for them being. Handing out demo's since his teenage years. Brought White Pony 12-00 After Listening to Digital Bath Lucky cuz it had Back To School. RIP Chi. Well Wishes To Sergio And Much Respect To Frank Stephen Abe Camillo 😂.

[@driftless7134]

ESP and Kiesel are both fantastic companies.

[@Sensates85]

Both my fav modern guitar makers.

[@SevenProject]

8:26 oof! Multi-scale refers to the scale-length of the strings...not musical scales or fanned frets 41:46 😑

[@ericsmith6633]

I remember feildy had a all white k5 that went into production for like a month, but they had such a hard time keeping it spot on, that they pulled the production on it. But it was a killer bass

[@ad_burner_sc]

Big congratulations to you both. I hear nothing but great things about Kiesel guitars, time for me to check them out I think 👍🤘🤘🤘

[@andrewarmsley6806]

Switching it up....cool ..........I still have my 7 string baritone 207 ........Stephen's signature guitar from 2007...it's falling apart but I love it

[@ryd1zzle]

Does anybody else notice that around the 26/27min mark it looks like Steph's guitar has a reverse headstock???

[@TheCuyawera]

Damn!!! Why I didn't saw that's in the moment 😱😭 I love you man! 😘

[@dolamike584]

Awww I wish I saw this when it was live!!!!😢❤

[@zombicidalmatt]

I just ordered a Snow while I was quite high last night, what have I done? Under the influence lol? I owned the SC 607B, great guitar, but I don't like EMG's nor a gloss neck. The feel was excellent, but with Fishman Fluence, far better, matte, and throw in an all white finish, which wasn't a thought for me, but hey, Snow will be mine

[@zombicidalmatt]

Order #8262 FULFILLED! Thank you, far shorter than what I am used to as an instrument, quite a loud beast, especially since it sits upright tucked with my Dingwall 5 string bass. The playability is amazing, like butter

[@alucardisdumb]

I think stef is the type of guitar player to be put in with the likes of Geordie walker from killing joke in terms of just having very unique rhythm guitar sounds. They both play and texturize with the songs in mind which is something you don’t get with busier players often

[@biffstronghold3926]

That's a cool reference. Geordie Walker is on a plain of his own.

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

Geordie took the hollow body to places no one else has in rock.

[@scottnorton5670]

Both guitars are fantastic. That pink 8 though… my pants size grows about half a size every time I see it. ;)

[@shaneturner9336]

Hey Steph I love Jim boys too ! They are hard to find though .

[@shearfury147]

kiesel is doing all the right things. I see them everywhere and people love these guitars. kant miss the body shape. every metal player needs one

[@jimlee5575]

Thanx Stef: I had no idea what a multi-scaled guitar is (your neighbor across the street)

[@SevenProject]

Steph has no idea what a multi-scale guitar is either lol. It refers to the scale-length of the individual strings.

[@Andrew_182]

Instead of painting the boards, would it be possible to do a phenolic fretboard for the white? Epiphone and Gibson has put out some guitars (snow falcon, thunderhorse, snøfall, Buckethead) that did it. Seems like it would be more scalable than hand painting.

[@goatcastschannel]

I briefly met Darius Tehrani and Baby Jay, of Spite, at the set playing before they got on. they were both super nice and I got a selfie!

[@addictivetackleco]

This is like a dream come true for me😍😍😍

[@shoryuXE10]

22:04 i've got the album tone-match cab dump stef uploaded years ago loaded up onto my axe fx 3. paired with the jmpre1 amp model on the OD2 setting with the gain cranked, they really do sound JUST like the album tones, it's crazy cool. anyone who has an axe fx and loves deftones should definitely give them a try.

[@Nu-metal]

What's the EQ Settings, please?

[@CashCatz]

Good on ESP. I didn't know much about them. Just looked at their website and their Snapper line of 7/8 string superstrats has me drooling.

[@sheldonwright8770]

3 years to sus out the axe fx 😆 that’s why I’ll never own one.. awesome chat. Stoked for the double endorsement

[@misterkenova6695]

Sick! I bet Steph was thinking Enterprise Earth. Guitars came out gorgeous!

[@d77sauce]

Can’t believe he’s using a Line 6 helix. They really have come such a long way.

[@BrandonDeft]

You better be working on a Keisel Tele even if Stephen doesn't need or want one. More need to know feel and hear that 7 string baritone block of wood i,ve had my LTD SCT-607B i. I'm so happy i decided to buy one 10 years ago, it's truly a special guitar. Stephen is my biggest influence, and the Deftones have been easily my favorite band since hearing that Abe come in on Around the Fur. Cool to see you become friends and enjoy each other's company. Soon, you will forget while hanging out what he does for a living at times because of his kind disposition.

[@FanaticDrummer]

Its so cool to see more artists have cross brand endorsements and how companies can support the artists in harmony without a pressure of being “exclusive”. It lets the companies focus on what they do best, instead of trying to please everyone. Which is what SO many companies try to do is this ridiculous “diversity”, but sometimes too much is too much and quality goes down from it. As a drummer ive changed brands as my playing changes because some companies do certain things better. They dont have to please everyone. Its important to have an identity and stick to it. Kiesel for example has the headless guitar niche and do it really well and other companies dont see the need to compete when one brand has that as a signature model. Like Gibson and Fender, everyone copies their design. Its good to have that power as a brand to have something everyone wants that they even want to copy it lol Still want a RD clone done right lol Gibson dropped that ball.

[@shaneturner9336]

I always wanted a white guitar after seeing Princes white guitar in Purple Rain .

[@SpinGoldmusic]

I can't believe Stef uses a helix. Modeling has come a really long way.
