He's playing his Jackson USA Signature Juggernaut HT7: www.sweetwater...

Misha has done a lot for the metal gear community. I love misha

[@xXxThelegend27xXx]

Misha really is the best in the biz at this point

"Kept you waiting huh"

[@alexbourgeois7863]

In my opinion he has the best guitar tone in modern metal

[@robadobflob3405]

I'd argue his tone is killer, but Plini and Tosin have better tones imo. Plini has that sweet, loving distortion while Tosin has that punishing, crushing gain. You can really hear it in tracks like Flanuer, Handmade Cities, CAFO, and Tooth and Claw.

[@chrisking6695]

Nope.

[@hiraprxc.7141]

It's weird to see him playing dad riffs like in the beginning

[@chrisking6695]

Dad riffs? Are you 11 or what? Those are standard licks that every guitarist ok this friggin earth should know be here they're past of music history. How can one not like guys lie SRV or Jimmy Page and and shat not. How can you become an influential guitarist without having felt what it's lime to play classic rock. That's like wanting to learn the piano but refusing to play Beethoven as part of your journey as a pianist. So narrow minded.

[@rymoo7086]

Oh my god... that second riff by The Price is Wrong is so cool! I definitely thought the audio was cutting out or something.

[@ravenecho2410]

yeah the rhythmic feel on the albums, made me learn strict alternate picking just to like learn the song... super props to the dedication yeah the time feel is immaculate

[@Flux799]

this dude has the face of my aunt. its weird and confusing for me to look at it.

Is it just me or did his guitar keep changing

[@BloomerzUK]

Everyone knows that John Browne is the master of downpicking!

[@qnighujh1328]

JBloomfield1990 he's the master of all picking haha dudes a beast

[@Djentfan420]

Nope James hetfield is the Downpicking god

You're clearly not familiar with Browne's work. He makes Hetfield look like a clown.

the tone is out of this world. i would kill to have that sound. Im not Misha Mansoor, i just dial in the tone not knowing what will happen !

Really just diggin' in "djent djent djent djent"

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

Misha wears a Good Tiger t-shirt in almost every video.

[@biodrengen]

Soulhenge i just noticed that earlier this week too! Funny

[@monsterhunterjack]

He and Elliot are good friends

[@ScottyWiard]

That’s because Misha is a robot and has no need for clothes. That shirt is just part of this unit’s exoskeleton. If you see him wearing a different shirt, it’s just a different Misha unit.

[@awesomemachine3824]

I don't mind the fizz these days. I think it adds to the character of a high gain amp. Just as long as it's not out of control.

[@megadeaf3061]

you cant have ultra gain sound without fizz,its the nature of high gain,dont listen all those idiots at internet.i was spend a fortune to find a high gain amp without fizz but i failed ...my money back :))

[@DarkItachi1]

what pedal is he using for the mod delay? tc flashback ?

[@sweetwater]

Strymon TimeLine

[@leonardoquelle288]

You have very good taste for guitars!

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

Mishap is GREAT, that said, Judas Priest (SFV, DOTF), for palm muting mastery!

[@ayeapprove]

Thanks for the great tips Mr. Misha 'sorta' Mansoor aka Bulb his royal browness

[@bergg2009]

7:05-7:50 ...what? I think somebody has to visualize that! ..and how does that relate to the muscle sound he has played before turning to metal romance?

[@chrishepburn1503]

Is Good Tiger the only band Misha knows?

[@MrKylederp]

Chris Hepburn he's obviously helping his friends' band out with free advertising.

[@MishaMansoor]

Good Tiger is the only band out there, if you think otherwise you are wrong and dead to me.

[@Dirt_Serpent]

Who is Periphery? I only listen to Good Tiger. Because Rudy is my favorite banjo player.

[@doncamillo9147]

But the pitch changes while muting so high.

[@paulanthony8335]

Which model is the guitar he’s using. I know Jackson

[@TheJTvenom]

Paul Anthony I’m not sure but I’m sure it’s a pro series with grade A pickups. I would check the website. I want to buy his amp. It’s like 2500 or something. Invective peavy

[@paulanthony8335]

Jason Terry thanks

[@TheJTvenom]

Paul Anthony Juggernaut HT6

[@jyryhalonen4990]

6:13 Alt picking actually sounded better IMO

[@xferal5181]

That's because you're supposed to alternate pick

[@chrisking6695]

He really can't play anything else but periphery stuff. That's fascinating and sad at the same time. Fascinating because he's very proficient in his genre but sad because I'd like to her some classic tunes from him just to enjoy his playing. Lol

[@NexLevelQuest]

And Djent was intended.....

[@billybob728]

lower the noisegate so we can hear all the pickstrokes my guy

[@eliteleaf5305]

Then he’d get that annoying buzzing sound we all hate.

[@SKARKIBANEZ]

DOWNPICKING...............THAT"S THE "THING" ;)

[@mattz1686]

Can't say I like the sound of that amp. So fizzy. Maybe just how it's mic'd

[@skin_e_guy]

Matt Z agreed. But it must be the mic because I remember the invective sounding absolutely beautiful (and I mean beautiful) in an earlier review.

[@colinmitchell6006]

It's not double tracked, it's definitely the mic, and I doubt this was meticulously EQ'd.

[@sweetwater]

No post EQ or processing

[@PierceAkers]

Actually he uses a pedal(his horizons precision drive pedal) and a saturated amp but pedals sometimes fizz without a noise gate and all that so yeah

[@lukebogartmix]

Prolly just cause the mic is pretty close to the center and there's no post-processing high cut that you'd always see to cut fizz.

[@tfos993]

How the fuck do you get this tone ffs

[@DBIIIStudios]

My dyslexia is getting worse.. I thought his shirt said gold digger.

[@tonefingerz2021]

whoo that tone. but u shud play this kinda music .kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZObi3aYpdl8ZqM and that peavy midrange u cud tell in a blind test
