SCAM ALERT! Hello to everyone watching this. Please note we will NEVER promote competitions or prizes in KZbin comments sections. There are parties pretending to be us. So if ANYONE asks you to contact them saying you’ve won a prize and asks for details, please ignore them. Better still, please help us report them to KZbin. You have not won a prize, and it is not us. It’s happening right across KZbin, with collective apologies! Mick & Dan

[@frankmckinlay602]

“Hi woo.” That’s f@ckin’ funny! Mick’s understated acknowledgment was British AF.

[@billavonda1604]

Priceless! I laughed out loud at Mick's analogy to mountaineering and removing toes... so true about the journey

[@markdean3579]

Mick, re the top of the mountain with the 60s strat and klon.... Reminded me of this quote... "There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning".

[@nightwishlover8913]

Just been catching up on these videos - Mick's comment about Phil Walker makes me want to say that he (Phil) is an absolute MONSTER guitarist! Get him on the show!!

[@NathanNagel]

Gibsons are made in Bozeman, MT. First three Yellowstone Seasons were filmed in Utah, but now it’s mostly filmed near Darby, MT. Sometimes in various other locations. I grew up in eastern Montana, and still play gigs in Montana 15-30 weekends a year, depending on the year.

[@zootallures1]

Gents, the discussion of robot lawn cutting was comic genius! Please, please, please figure out a way to appear in the new Spinal Tap film. You guys are a perfect fit!!!

[@roryyerama5496]

Lads - I just got a Friedman Twin Sister and got lost in my playing for a couple of hours this past weekend. It can do everything from 80's pop rock to Soundgargen. I think you (and the TPS nation) would dig it! 👍 👍

[@ERICKATERLE]

Joey Landreth and his band are awesome and so are you both !!! Thank you so much for everything!

[@traineecanuck]

Can we have a whole show of the two of you talking about random stuff? Highly entertaining!

[@prboyd]

A gantry is the bit behind a bar where they store the spirits etc. lots of ornate gantry’s in Scottish pubs 👍

[@gpower]

Totally get how the add/adhd affects things Dan. I worked with kids for a long time as a foster parent and, had my daughter diagnosed adhd. I realized I'm add without the hyperactivity component. Affects everything we do. For me, when I'm learning something, I've raced 10 miles down the road before I've really gotten the concept.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Oh, man. Target store adventures with the 8 yr old while we give Mom a break at home. Keeping her focused is bad enough and then you add MY own borderline ADD/OCD to her ADHD. LOL 😂 NOTHING BUT FUN.

[@mattelder9147]

Love the feel of Joey’s signature slide

[@natenobrakes6292]

My dear departed dad used to have a beer after mowing the lawn and declare it was the nectar of the gods. I remember thinking as a kid the gods must be a bit cheap.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

Any seriously meaningful activity has the potential to reset one's desire meter. That's, apparently, what I try to do whenever the courage is sufficient.

[@matthewcasey892]

Kenny Burrell is my way in to jazz, nice jazzy blues.

"With great tone comes great responsibility" t-shirts

[@corpse-in-orbit]

I'd add, for the person who asked, that the Keeley Aria is fantastic for smoother low-gain sounds. When you combine the boost/OD side with the compressor side, it does an *exceptional* job giving you thickness and sustain without too much grit - it really can sound like an NMV amp right in the sweet spot, still pretty clean, but singing and fat.

[@Evy-1988]

I don't remember who exactly said this - maybe Bukovac? - but if you play slide: always keep the slide straight! Even if you only play one string, make sure that whenever you *would* play other strings, they're right on the note as well.

[@ruffryder13]

I struggled with guitar tendinitis for around 20 years. Once I had a sleep study done and improved my sleep, it mostly went away, even after all of that time. If your body can't recover overnight, it wears down. Other than that, lifting weights has helped a lot. Strong arms and hands just don't have to work as hard and that can improve range of motion if done correctly. Massages and injections can give a brief reprieve, but it wasn't a long term solution for me. Experimenting with changing technique could be helpful depending on what you're doing now. I disagree with the 'just stop' suggestion. Reducing time practicing in various positions can be helpful, but if the solution is just to stop, it's not really a solution is it? And most normal relatively young bodies should be able to play guitar an hour a day. If not, something is wrong and it should be addressed. Only stop if it's ruining your quality of life in general (I think that is months at least).

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Dude. Yellowstone is absolutely fantastic. And Costner is killer.

[@toploadtele]

For what it's worth, Ive been a PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) Hail & Dent repair tech for over 30 years here in Alabama, USA and Nashville, TN. There are plenty of high level techs in your area that can quickly remove those dredded dings and dents without repainting the vehicle many times while you wait. Check with high end auto dealers to see who they use and get referrances. You wont fear the parking lot anymore!

[@ericruddphotography]

By the way….that Walsh solo in Life in the Fast lane is a combination of picked and slide within each lick. It easier with a pinky slide.

[@mark.guitar]

The mower uses a cable that produces an AC magnetic field. This field interacts with the pickups on guitar directly, just like the strings do... Same as hearing aid loops... bloomin' things.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

For maximum mental health at the work place just make the first (or the last) Monday of every month a national day off for a long weekend and don't call it anything. Everyone needs to "worK' every Friday as well for that "half checked out attitude" in preparation for the weekend. Also, forbid any and all deadlines falling on Friday or Monday morning. No overtime pay or requirements to socialize with workmates.

[@robertlewis8024]

T-shirt idea? Reissue the Stompio Continua in sunburst? ( Font would probably need to be slightly larger? ).

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

My favorite guitar pick is the Clayton Black Raven 0.80mm which is narrow enough for hybrid picking and just the right stiffness for single notes and light chording.

[@astewart9410]

Great show guys! Further to your advice, when buying a Boss BD-2, I went with the Waza BD-2w and it's absolutely wonderful. Exactly what I wanted, sound-wise. I compared it side by side with a buddy's original BD-2 and that custom setting on the Waza is definitely noticeable. Next up, a Boss TU-3 tuner pedal, after 30 years of clip-on tuners lol. Cheers!

[@johnmundt7834]

I had a Duo Jet about 15 years ago. One with the dyna sonics instead of filter trona and that is the one guitar I’m mad I sold. Great guitar, very tele adjacent. I always recommend them to people who think they want a Les Paul

[@robgoodfellow]

it's always fun to listen to Ry Cooder on the soundtrack for Paris, Texas and hear the slide rattle and drag all over the frets and wood. it's kinda reminds me of the sounds of pinball or pachinko.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

May the journey never end.

[@taviswardlaw]

Couple of other options for Andy: the Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian is a very faithful reproduction of the big green Russian muff, and the JHS Muffuletta uses the tone circuit from that version in concert with whichever muff type you choose… I believe Andy may have a friend or two at JHS ;)

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

Creation of music appeals to my sense of riding the waves of swing, bounce, and drive and including those as I play which allows the non speaking parts of my brain to respond and remember. Eventually a "piece" of music develops. That my occur the same day or years later. In neither scenario do I feel rushed.

[@sesa2984]

During the slide portion with the phrase "steel string singer" fresh on my mind I had tge thought: I'd love to see you have a lap/pedal steel player on the show to explain their rig and how they use effects. I recently bought two cheapo Rogue lapsteels and added a couple palm benders to have two different tunings at tge ready. Got a volume pedal and a compressor etc. Barely touched it yet cause its daunting but this got it back on my mind. Slainte.

[@Isaac-Draper]

1:22:13 Stax museum, Graceland and the Civil Rights museum are a MUST for Memphis.

Re: Magnatone amps. I use a Harmophone, (rebranded Magnatone from the 50s) NOBODY on the internet has produced a video comparing the New Magnatones to the originals. I would love to see if there is any real lineage/connection there.

[@pierrederesistance]

Re the Carl Verhyen thing, I think he sets his so he gets a semitone up bend on the high E and three semitones on the G when pulling up on the bar until the bridge hits the body.

Perimeter wire is ostensibly to prevent one from either mowing the neighbor's or rolling out into foot for road traffic.

[@periloustemple8290]

I don't know who will see this, but tendonitis/tennis elbow: please try any version of the Sun Salutations for a few weeks (yoga), a massage regimen - and epsom salt soaks. Oh, boy that warm up, hydrate kind of advice is super real, as well. Find out what is inflammatory regarding food, and fast from that kind of thing for a few days a week.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

The first slide playing I saw was done with the back of a pocket knife by Nance Lipscomb.

[@joshuaraysummey7679]

Keeley Aria, and j. Rockett melody are two of My favorites, and GROSSE POINT BLANK?!?!?!?! favorite movie of all time! Yall are killin today! Also, the wampler belle for smoothness is pretty special, Brian's mods make usable on damn near any amp

[@periloustemple8290]

"Why am I here?" You got it right, Mick. Labor Day in the US was a family day that did not allow for my place in the live show, but wow. I am the opposite of anything resembling disappointment when I watch anything you have ever done! The Bros. new thing: can't stop listening - and I have loved everything Landreth, including Sonny. LOL

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

The "Smooth" setting on my Source Audio LA Lady is what sold me on getting it.

[@LexingtonDaniel]

How long does it take to know a guitar's "the one?" ...Sitting in a room with how many different models? My dad was a Guild and Jag guy and he bought me my first Strat so I was a Strat and Jag guy (Into Twin and Princeton) for about a decade and a half. Then I shifted to Rics. Then an acoustic phase driven by Taylor. Now I play my SG Jr and PRS Hollowbody (into Marshal Astoria and Mesa Cali) more than anything and I have a collection that would make many guitar heroes jealous. I move between them as mood and the sound in my head and the sounds made by my collaborators at the moment dictate. There was a time when Clapton would have said he was a Gibson guy... and at the same time Page was a Fender guy. Most players move around. As your ears age some sounds are more appealing and others less. Maybe you move into a different genre of music and that drives a journey into different equipment... Everything out there is good and there are neither wrong nor right answers to what is "the one" guitar.

[@Ottophil]

Who says you have to pick one? I thought i was an sg guy, then i got a strat. A tele, a prs. Another tele, a les paul, and another tele. Turns out i love them all

[@guitarguy7596]

Just out of curiosity, do you have a number1? I did what you're talking about for yesrs and I still kind of sort of do but I parted with a bunch after I got my 335 (Nashville Custom Shop Limited Edition Japanese Run) that someone I know (that lives in Japan) picked out for me some 8 odd years ago. I never thought I was a 335 guy (laughably still don't) despite having previously owned some very nice ones over the years.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

Jazz is really only a term for release of limitation in understanding of music. Some excursions produce lifelong inspiring product. Others inform for the moment and lead the listener in another direction.. Along the way the player redefines right and wrong for himself.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Tom Bukovac "Big tone is heavy and hard to carry.” is the quote 🙂

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

Transformers! The bigger the better. It’s unavoidable.

[@stanislavmigra]

Agreed

[@davejackson8376]

Am looking forward to the director's cut - I got a Captor X last year and was toying with the idea of sending it into the time-based effects instead of having them in the amp effect loop.

[@guitarguy7596]

After seeing every hand physiotherapist (it was also in my forearm/wrist) in South Australia (including some surgeons) and travelling 700kms to a clinic that specialises in musicians injuries nothing had worked. What did work was I came across a physio online, Joshua Tucker who has a treatment for guitar tendinitis (which for the vast majority that's what you're really suffering even if you've been told otherwise) and he also addresses other conditions like carpal tunnel and tennis elbow; anyway after over a year of being basically unable to play (or tie shoelaces or use a fork etc when it was bad) within two weeks it was gone...I was supposed to do the treatment for a month but it's been years and still no problem. As Mick eluded to, be mindful of posture, repetition...and diet.

[@davidkieltyka9]

Re. from 40:53, I have a Marshall model 1958 made in 1967. It’s the 2x10” combo version of the 18 watt amp. Two channels, one with less gain than the other but with tremolo. In this respect it’s similar to the classic Vox AC15 circuit. Greatly attenuated bass but lovely midrange punch. Breaks up easily & smoothly. The power transformer is fixed at ~230v, which means here in North America I have to plug it into a step-up transformer.

[@jmwise80]

I love the point about listening to what you want to learn.

[@jmwise80]

You are what you eat.

[@ducky63]

I was in and out of sleep for the last 40 minutes of this, aliens, rats, lawnmowers, Toy Story cremation, wood chippers!! I tell ya, I did magic mushrooms twice in my life and you guys win. I thought I was losing my mind. Can’t wait until next week. 🤪

[@periloustemple8290]

@Christoffer Rosenqvist: My automower wrecked my wifi - and has the worst prominent noise: through the pickups. Mine has an option called Eco mode that kills power to the guide wire when the mower is parked. Another option is to unplug the charging station when you are playing.

[@grahamkelly8299]

The thing about the ice road truckers 😂😂😂😂😂 that gotta make it on the Christmas special!!!

[@skepticalbystander]

New amp day is a different level when you snag a Bad Cat!

[@astewart9410]

r.e. thoughts on how long it takes to bond with a guitar: I don't think there's one guitar style per person. I felt in my bones that I am a Tele guy. I got a Tele, I love it, all very, very good. Then I got a Strat, and it spoke to me in a different way and I love it too. Then I got a ES-335, and same thing, it's awesome and I love it. Dan's correct, just be open to it.

[@davecarrsfabulouscontraption]

I've found the Alexander Technique the most helpful thing I've found (so far) for RSI. Dan, I teach it - if you want some free online sessions, let me know. I've gained so much from watching your videos and it'd be nice to have a way of giving back.

[@SeniorFeliz]

So you guys have been to Brooklyn huh that's my old stomping ground I'm from Sunset Park in between Park Slope and Bay Ridge where you can see the Statue of Liberty and the New York City skyline amazing it's the highest point in Brooklyn

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

Taming any overbearing amplitude is the key to balance.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

Don't forget the Coronet for a single P-90 with awesome 22 fret access.

[@skepticalbystander]

I'm currently drinking a citrus hazy IPA right now, but I do love a good Pilsner. At the end of the day, I'm a Stout guy, I love the coffee-esque flavor, and the possibilities for all the chocolates, vanilla, and hazelnuts, oatmeal, caramel, peanut butter, all those heavy flavors lend themselves well to a good Stout :) call me blasphemous, but I don't like barrel-aged Stouts or Guinness, but everyone says it's quite different when you're in Ireland.

[@northguitars1466]

I keep missing these live. Next one, I’m there. I do have a question though. I bought a Dod looking glass through a video I saw with Mick and Pete, and I love it. I’m wondering what Dan thinks about it.

[@spharr]

A thought on the loud amp versus quiet amp video. If it was entitled something like "Do I play better when its loud?" (Which was alluded to in the subtitle) it might have made the point a bit more. I think the 'for recording' got people to think about sound quality rather than performance quality, which I believe was what you were interested in investigating. For me if its too loud I become acutely aware of my playing and start thinking too much, losing the moment. Back to drums....

[@PoisonNoises]

Let us know when you're ready to take the plunge and try some PN Pedals.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

Watching and listening closely inform your acting in sync sound with intensions. Touch develops as necessary.

[@riklionheart23]

The Fredric Effects Green Russian has been my go to fuzz option on my board.

[@andsoistopped]

Presumably Mick when you play the mountain gear in context with others In a band then that’s all that matters and the view from the mountain is what it should be?

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

It is not counterintuitive to think that engaging in enjoyment of the product of an activity informs of the activity.

[@calmthemonster]

I'm finding, across the net... the Tom Bukovac quote being misinterpreted... What he was saying is modelling amps, cab sims etc. will not take the place of a good, solid built, REAL amp for good tone... which, in most cases, happens to be heavy in weight.

[@JoshLikesFuzz]

Technically speaking Penny Benjamin is in the first movie; Meg Ryan tells Kelly McGillis about her in the bar. Maverick did a fly by over her - the admiral’s daughter

[@timbob.]

I like parking on the opposite side of car parks to protect my paintwork also, it’s amazing how often someone parks next to you and there is empty rows of spaces in all directions! I’ve yet to experience someone actively blocking my door though… IRRITATING

[@corpse-in-orbit]

Mick, I haven't studied the Silver Sterling Two-Rock, but a cathode follower will tend to give you a directness of attack and an emphasis on higher harmonics that you don't get as much from a plate-driven tone stack. You can really hear it in the difference between, say, a tweed Bassman (all that crunch and bite) vs. most other tweed amps, or in a Rectifier vs. other Mesa/Boogies (though obviously there's a lot more going on there). Pretty much anything Marshall-based is going to have a cathode follower, and most classic Fendery things don't, so it's interesting to find one in a mega-clean amp like the Silver Sterling.

[@eaglerayrob]

I'm not an amp tech or designer but my understanding is that the Cathode Follower in the context of a SSS is used post-phase inverter and is directly coupled to the Power tubes. Not the typical Cathode Follower used to drive tone stacks. Here is how Alex at Science Amplification explained it to me recently when I asked if post-phase inverter CF were used in his amps. "It's a really complex subject and is implemented in different ways, but theoretically in amps where the the post PI CF is directly coupled it can supply more current and push the amp into what's called class AB2 operation for more power. The CF can also prevent "blocking distortion" in the output tubes without having to reduce very low bass, but in my experience most amps doing this (especially Dumbles) already carefully reduce bass throughout the preamp to keep the amp from blocking and feeling sluggish. I could go on!" I think this, Power section direct coupled Cathode Follower, is a different animal than the Tone Stack Cathode Follower. But I may be wrong. Anyway, I hope this is helpful.

[@corpse-in-orbit]

@@eaglerayrob Oh wow, I've never heard of a cathode follower being implemented like that - when you're already up to the voltage at the end of the preamp and then employ a CF, it must juice the living hell out of the power section. And I guess, in theory at least, you would end up with a higher voltage on the other side of the output transformer, along with the high current that OTs normally produce. I wonder what that would do to the speakers ... huh. Thanks, very interesting!

[@eaglerayrob]

Sorry for nerding out but here's some additional info about the advantages of the post-PI CF directly coupled to the Power Tubes. "A DC-coupled cathode follower between the phase inverter and the grid of the output tubes, with the cathode follower cathode resistor returned to a high negative voltage, and the grid bias applied to the grid of the cathode follower, effectively isolates the output tube grid circuit from the phase inverter and its associated AC coupling, and provides a very low impedance source for the output stage. This will prevent the output stage from going into grid clamp, and will eliminate the long time constant of the AC coupling. This method has the unfortunate side effect of requiring an extra tube and completely ruining the value of your vintage amp, so it is best used only on new designs, but is highly recommended. You will also get more power out of the output stage because it is now running in class AB2 or class A2 (the "2" suffix indicates grid current flows for a portion of the cycle)." If Howard Dumble added this mod to your amp I don't think the value of your amp would be decreased 😀

[@TeleCathster]

Hi Both. Sorry I missed the live stream I did post a Super chat prior to you starting but I think it got lost when the stream died! Any chance you have time to answer any creative ideas for expression pedals? I play ambient P&W genres thinking something like a mod wheel on a keyboard might be fun for in between songs and create some pad effects but how do I go about setting this up? Many thanks. I have two expression knobs on my board that gets zero use!

[@murray.altheim]

Mick, if you can drink wine but beer has a bad effect, the difference might be the gluten in the wheat. You might try a gluten-free beer as an experiment...

[@jefffletcher2614]

Ohio……Montana…Ya know, close to Falmouth and Sunderland. :)

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

LovePedal Tchula into a Nobles ODR-1 to this day is my favorite way to stack two basic pedals. Side note; Los Angeles has become hellaciously hot this week. Triple digit highs : (

[@funhousebaby3104]

Christ, how are you typing if everyone and thing is boiling in 'triple digit highs' 😉 I'll never understand F over Celsius haha, so needlessly complicated

[@afrocopmusic]

Love hearing Mick casually drop words like "apoplectic" 😅

[@markinthemix6055]

I totally agree with you Mick. Top Gun was good but it’s just entertainment. It wasn’t that great as far as the story line.

[@jmwise80]

I feel like I worked on dexterity for my first 30 years and just now have started to learn how to actually make music.

[@stratcat688]

Compressor. A good boost and a good buffer.

[@timolonnberg3205]

Hello And thank you for your excellent reviews. I am a fan. Question: which would you put last in a signal chain a) UA woodrow of b) orange terrorstamp? After the a or b there will be DI connection to the steinberg audiointerface and MacBook. Thank you bros👍🎸 ….so now i have it connected by four cable method where the Orange is the last before the audio interface.

[@repomanband]

And STAX

[@2stroke556]

Keen to hear that Troubadour. More fuzz!

[@andsoistopped]

I’m pretty sure you were drinking a beer at the Guitar Show when I interrupted you planning what you we’re going to do as I knocked it over! Sorry about that Mick, still maybe it meant you were less depressed afterwards. 😘

[@paulmatulevich3623]

Transit Van absolutely must stay there

[@riklionheart23]

Don’t worry Dan, I caught the Culture Club gag, even if Mick didn’t 🤣 51:35

[@SeniorFeliz]

I recommend STINGS ebook and Victor Wooten book

[@Kevin-the-Just]

Holy seat covers Batman - Shawn Tubbs!!!! 😃

[@moorandr]

Watched a big chunk of this today. You both inspire me to pick up my guitar much more often! Did I hear you mention an app called SOLO. What is that?

[@christophertrimmer625]

SOLO is an interval training app. Just another way of thinking about the fretboard.

[@astewart9410]

r.e. the conversation on boost: I bought the cheapo Joyo Sweet Baby, which is a knockoff of the Mad Professor Sweet Honey. The Joyo is incredible bang for your buck. Well-built, excellent controls, and lovely boost without colouring the sound.

[@mr.astrophysics9115]

I'm really going to miss Fulltone yesterday I was offered $800 for my Deja Vibe MDV-3 no way not for sale

[@Evy-1988]

Mick, have you tried alcohol free beer? There has been huge improvement over last years. My favourites are Heineken, Bavaria and Peroni

[@ThatPedalShow]

I don’t honk it’s the alcohol, given that ingest plenty of that via alternative beverages….

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

I started my journey to discover the best of all guitar models in 1994 and confirmed there is none by 2007. I am having built something born of those experiences. I sure it also will prove somewhat disappointing as I am forever honing my critical abilities.

[@andsoistopped]

Mick - ‘ my problem is’ - then gives it some tasty slide.

[@Guythatsometimescomments]

I have a question that has been killing me. With solid state amps becoming to popular -- does it even matter which guitar you have if you are only playing thru a solid state? With my Spark, I feel like all I need to do is tweak the amp settings and I can get any tone I want. Am I missing something? So maybe my question is -- if you have enough versatility with your amp set (maybe a ton pedals) does the guitar even matter?

[@Airhead348]

Maybe not as much the tone but the quality of feel and staying in tune will be better and will affect the sound by being easier to play. Just get a quality fender/squier strat one that feels good to you american, mexican, japanese even china youll find a good one.

[@Guythatsometimescomments]

@@Airhead348 Awesome, thanks for the reply. I went out and bought me a beautiful American strat deluxe years ago and absolutely love it. Like most guitarists, I always want another guitar. But I just feel that if I tweak the amp setting enough, I can get pretty much any tone I need. Maybe my ear just isn't as keen as others and when I think I've dialed in a perfect twangy tele tone, it's actually not close at all 🤣

[@guitarguy7596]

Psychosomatic reactions can't be discounted, it's insane how powerful the brain is. That said its not only my personal experience but it's becoming recognised to the point of no denial that diet has the greatest impact on depression. Anyone suffering badly try using the carnivore diet as an elimination diet for at least a month (3 months would be better) and then slowly week by week start reintroducing plants/grains one at a time and you'll find the culprit (s).

[@bobbler42]

Apropos robot lawnmowers: that sounds like an awful way to lose a cat, given how they generally treat roombas.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

But clashing is what their name declare they were after.

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

The player's journey into "jazziness" must an extension of musicality - not a tortuous, instructional regimen.
