[@joaoldmedeiros]

Legend with a .074 on the floyd, massive respect

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

big boy moves

[@AckzellMusic]

Haha I use a .072 on my floyd 🔥

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

Joao medeiros- brother need that you and Keyan collab please 😢

[@Pericles777]

.76 is right about the limit for most of them. But yeah it’s a must when lower than G#

[@preston2636]

@@Pericles777 no it's not. You can drill the saddle block out to fit bigger strings into the bridge.

[@PepeSilvia22]

An underrated guitarist imo. One of the few guitarists that has such a distinct style to his riff writing, phrasing and signsture tone. i can hear one of Nicks riffs and immediately know whos playing. A pretty rare thing these days.

[@lasseigne13]

I think Nick and Mike Stringer are some of the most creative guitarists in a long time

[@mattfury.]

@@lasseigne13 I just had the privilege of seeing them both in one night, mental.

[@dustindove-6462]

Nick is as important to me as Tosin, Misha and Marc. Don't get me wrong the entire band is fantastic and definitely what I'm stuck on at the moment but there's one consistent thing I follow through the entirety of their work. His playing. Uncharted, Either and Doomswitch are some of the most unique and beautiful pieces of music I've heard.

[@Shifty319]

RE: Sweat. The salt in your sweat is enough to remove the coatings on everything, thus oxidising the metal. Salt + water + metal = rust. The bodyheat would also expand the winding on the strings, though not noticibly unless after a long time

[@lucentguitars]

Awesome to get insight into one of my favourite guitarists! Especially as someone wanting to get into proper teching and touring

[@tamasmolnar7591]

Been waiting for a video with Nick Thank you

[@diostaylow]

where's is the other guitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@dangorski2975]

Omg I just saw them in Worcester ma. Never heard of them before. I was bloooown away!

[@justevan877]

Invent Animate next!

[@Jacksonnotjack]

I just saw them a few days ago, and they were great.

[@brxndonthorne]

Hey man! Love your content. I see you do a lot of videos on mixing/amp sims for good tones on a budget but you should also do a complete run through on how to mix the BEST tones if one is able to and what plugins/sims you would recommend the absolute highest of.

[@nazman465]

Those mics really improve the watching experience!

[@olliehuxford680]

New song is soo good. What wireless pack does he use?

[@lasseigne13]

I've been trying so damn hard to learn doomswitch on guitar but man it's so hard and I'm not even losing my patience it's just all over the place in a great way. I've seen a few tabs but they're all different in notes when it comes to the solo in the mid point of the song 😕

[@elmapache1089]

Man. Any chance on doing a Tone Match on his setup? I’ve been trying to get his tone from Doomswitch.

[@sheldonwright8770]

Don’t see many rhythm players with Floyd’s! Awesome axe tho! 🪓

[@c4gob00m]

Saw MTS at Full Tilt festival in March and the mixing was dreadful. My first time seeing them and I was really disappointed that the sound was so poor (was a big issue across the whole festival) Saw them on the Doomswitch tour and they fucking slapped HARD. So glad I saw them in all their glory and really keen to see what they release in the future The whole band seem like amazing people, and all incredibly humble

[@DrBrovahkiin]

Floyd's are the correct bridge. Most comfortable and there's tools out there to make it a non issue for the most part

[@beastlybeast2716]

Unless you can do without the dive bombs. Then save yourself the trouble altogether and get a hard tail lol.

[@DrBrovahkiin]

@@beastlybeast2716 nah, just hard tail your Floyd. You get better tuning stability then a hard tail because it's locked at two points. You have so many options and freedom to set it up how you're feeling while still getting a super comfortable bridge

[@eclipsekitsune4837]

@@DrBrovahkiin I mean if you're just going to hardtail it for tuning stability, you might as well get an evertune.

[@DrBrovahkiin]

@@eclipsekitsune4837 evertunes are also great, but they're different. Different uses IMO. Like same same but different

[@beastlybeast2716]

@@DrBrovahkiin one of these days I need to try out a Floyd just to see if the tuning stability is THAT much better than a well set up hard tail. I’d probably rather just check out an evertune and go nuclear on it lol. But maybe I should try out a Floyd to see how much better the stability is

[@offshot1st]

I tried Ab on a 25.5...with a set of baritone slinkies... never again ... spent the next 2 years playing longer and longer scales 27/27.8 because honestly Id rather not play anything over 70 ;') I started to feel like I got really heavy handled on the 25.5 with such thick strings.

[@infernapeDLS]

I do F# on a 25.5 7 string. I actually feel that it is super easy to play. I use 70 for the low F# and the rest is 11-54. I feel that longer scales are way harder to play

[@offshot1st]

@@infernapeDLS ah I was taking about a 6, rather than a 7. pickups were more for for Drop so sounded like ass lol Also 70 is pretty loose for drop F# But in terms of multiscale 7s For me i prefer l just how thinner strings feel to play, I find it alot less effort to run around all over the neck for a couple hours and my picking hand prefered it too for the semiquavers.

[@infernapeDLS]

@@offshot1st Yeah 70 sounds loose right! but I dont know. I have two kiesels and they set up great. Also they sound crisp because I don't have thick strings. Sound wise, pickups are the most important thing. I got a bareknuckle painkiller in one and their high output passive in the other one.

[@coopertimbs-poke3062]

Can definitely relate with you there, I can't really stand using strings much thicker than 70 I'm running G#/Ab on a 25.5 and I only run a .64 and it plays like butter. It's a little on the looser side but that's by design as I kinda really enjoy having that bottom string go slightly sharp and then back down on the initial attack of the open string

[@offshot1st]

@@coopertimbs-poke3062iinteresting... really? Thats one of the reasons I went thicker. Its a bastard when recording with other instruments like bass and synth. I underestimated how much G# is a huge jump from A gauge wise.. A i can play a 62/64... But anything less than 68 doesnt intonate correctly even on an ormsby for G#... I cant get the saddle far enough back for G#. My other reason I play thicker is for semiquavers... / gallops at 195bpm. I find a loose string really hard to play on at that tempo because is not as consistant in the rebound. Butttt honestly I will be doing the next EP in drop A as its much easier to set up on bass and guitar. Bass at this tunings even in a dingwall need custom wound strings... to account for the taper and nut Its so bizarre to me that the industry hasnt responded ro the genre shift to lower tunings like F# on a 7 oiver the last 10 year because so many modern metal bands do it. And the luthiers /techs hate it because technically ffom an engineering pov the guitars arent actually long enough 😂 Id love to see some ridiculous 8 string scales lengths appear for 7 strings. Or maybe I will just buy an 8 string 🤣

[@leighmissen7716]

What’s your bassist playing when you’re drop E

[@craigmchugh9978]

possibly drop E down an octave, like with a whammy drop tune pedal, or tune the bass to drop E, the same as the guitar, but dial back the bass settings on the guitar with an EQ pedal to let the bass take more of the low range.

[@josephbrant9827]

Was a fan of these guys when Neverbloom first came out. last two albums they released are not my cup of tea.

[@colinmitchell1287]

I like their new stuff a bunch, different strokes I suppose.

[@gunlean7738]

At least they haven't done a complete parkway drive 180 degree change..lol

[@user-xs4rm1ti8f]

Damn cry about it

[@c4gob00m]

They can not be your cup of tea, but it doesn’t mean they’re not banger albums. They don’t want to do deathcore anymore, Sean has said that. They prefer the metalcore, and that’s what they’ll do but their last 2 albums are bangers. Everything they’ve released is a banger

[@nathanielcava4128]

@@c4gob00m he never said that’s they weren’t bangers lol
