Pete Thorn's Top UAD-2 Guitar Tones, Tone #5 "Tokyo Hotel Room"

[@tleonard42]

Pete How are you not every songwriters favorite go-to guitarist. Between your note choice and clean articulation, even in a sea of amazing Internet guitarists, you remain not just a standout but THE standout. I am a singer/guitarist for some bands have had success in the progressive genre but you remain the person I would go to if I was needing to piece together a dream band.

[@PeteThorn]

So kind Ted, thanks man!

[@maximep3440]

Ted Leonard 100% agreed.

[@TavaresProject]

The 2 licks between 1:04 and 1:07 are wow!!!!! So many great licks and melodic. Fantastic Pete!

[@mdl555]

Pete, I just can't get into the idea of this been a demo... the song is so perfect, I would love to see it in your next CD. What you did in 1:01 to the end sounds so good and clean and perfect, I can't stop playing it again and again. Thanks, you are inspiring. Sorry my bad English, is not my regular language. Regards.

[@DannyPeel]

Pete is just so freakin' musical, every demo is a pleasure to check out whether you're interested in the product or not.

[@XiXora]

Love that playing! Glad to see that you're still posting videos on tour.

[@RonCharlton]

It's great when you solo out the parts like this and we can here them as stand alone pieces...loved it!

[@DannyBeardsley]

I'm a huge fan of your playing, Pete. You naturally play with feeling and you mean every note. Nothing is wasted. Great work, man!

[@PeteThorn]

Daniel Beardsley Thanks Daniel!

[@MrWilly2204]

I learn something every time I watch these videos. Thanks, Pete!

[@elvinlewis4233]

Really appreciate your style, and your ear. Superb analysis, and I'm sold on the product. Honestly, I thought they were pricey at first, but now I see the value. Good work, rock on!

[@stevesilk51]

Once again, Great demo Pete. Really impressed with these tones. UAD plugins are killer. Plus of course your usual adept playing really serves us fans well,. Many thanks!

[@seventhsealhere]

Incredible Pete! Perfect way to inspire guitar players around the globe. Thumbs up!

[@KevinSPeace]

Awesome tones and playing as per the norm, Pete! Hope your having an awesome and safe trip on tour across the pond!

[@StealthParrot]

Fantastic Pete. Always humbling to watch your amazing talent. Great sounds, great song!

[@SurveyofFilmMusic]

Hiya Pete! Mad respect and hats off to you, for all the hard work you do to make the videos. I know first hand that it's no easy feat! You've certainly conquered this craft, and have really set the bar,( AND the standard) for a comprehensive guitar gear (etc.) demo vids that retain a home-spun vibe. Keep 'er lit!

[@PeteThorn]

SurveyofFilmMusic Thanks so much!

[@SurveyofFilmMusic]

You're very welcome, Pete!

[@gordo907]

This just got added to my "Steal licks from Here" folder! What a great composition, and your tones are always awesome! Suhr couldn't have a better spokesman, Cheers!

[@pwman]

Beautiful as always Pete! I am always inspired by not only your tonal wizardry but your approach to composition ... Even in a Tokyo Hotel room :-) Cheers!

[@PeteThorn]

thanks Patrick!

[@Stratamania]

Really enjoying this series. I recently switched to Mac, getting to grips with Logic, and just got a UAD Apollo Twin. Amazing with the plugins. So thanks for this tone series it's very helpful.

[@MDK2323]

Great stuff Pete. I probably wouldn't buy any of this stuff as my aspirations aren't that grand, but I keep coming back to hear the great tones and songs that you come up with. Really enjoy them. Thx.

[@mikshaver]

Really dig your super tasty licks... you always seem to nail it, not too much, not too little.... GREAT stuff!! ANOTHER CD SOON??

[@jimkiousis]

... i must say everytime i see that particular Suhr, God ! beautiful as hell

[@stratmanuk]

I've always been a rocker, EVH, Nuno, Vito etc but there's something about the sound of a single coil that just does it for me, even when shredding!

[@PeteThorn]

stratmanuk they twang! :)

[@kingsammyc]

Loved it!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Hey dude didn't know you were a fan of Petes :)

[@kingsammyc]

Robert Baker I'm a big fan! :-D

[@dapperdanman1956]

Just great Pete, good to see your doing well, found your articles in premiere guitar, very great reads. thanks for your offerings to us.

[@pedraw]

Sounds great! When I spend time in motel rooms this is what I'm usually doing, at least the guitar playing part, not the recording part. Beats the crap out of tv. Love your vids!

[@mattmasu]

Great sounding mix at the beginning for just mixing on headphones in a hotel room!

[@diablilloperdio]

Cool track and great guitar tones. I have been following for a few months and appreciate that you are sharing your expertise, man.

[@RobinZV1]

Very tasteful playing. I'd love for UAD to come out with stage ready solution for using their guitar emulations. Something definitely foot-switchable for true live use would be killer!

[@strassercaster]

saw you with Cornell great show. definitely a fan

[@Sank1982]

I love your style of playing it’s always very musical

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!!!

[@DonWingle]

Just too cool man,I wish I was 25 again,I just can't seem to catch up at the age I am now. I had to spend too many years away from this while I was raising a family,and now I'm on the outside looking in,and I'm not sure what I'm looking at! Thanks for taking the time do to all of these Pete,good luck to you man.

[@IamtheActionman]

Huge props Pete. Another killer demo...came for the playing as always though.

[@mattchurchill]

Just pure great playing and tone as expected from a Pete Thorn vid;-)

[@vermonation]

You are my now favorite guitar player of 2000's

[@MarkScheffler]

Brilliant as always Pete!

[@johnego669]

I LOVE this series and so glad you are using the new Friedman Amps. Pete, since the Apollo expanded console allows to FINALLY save channel strips, can you have your UAD guitar tones series tones available for channel strip downloads? That would be awesome!

[@pjmaclean]

Pete, you just get better and better.

[@PeteThorn]

Peter MacLean Thanks Peter!

[@birdmanbl]

Dude are you kidding? Now you have really come undone! Just so beefy right with the positive major tones thrown in on top like whip cream!!! Huge man you got it... later

[@stratmagic6893]

great tune-put out a new album-I am usually not an instrumental cd buyer but your tunes are so good that I would buy it right away-your demos are some of the best out there-don't eat too much sushi!!!

[@chrischia4138]

Wow such a great opening tune I had to hear it a couple of times

[@PeteThorn]

thank you!

[@SteveMcQuillin]

Awesome as usual Pete - views not too shabby from the make shift studio it has to be said :)

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

Nice Pete! From one transplanted Canadian to another. It may be easier in the Rock world for something like this, but this Jazz guy is wondering about how soon can I be ditching my pedalboard for an iPad on gigs. Not saying that YOU use this stuff live. It's sure nice to still have stuff to step on and knobs to turn. Right?

[@mudwiser1391]

Great playing Pete, the plug-ins sound great. How do you know when you are a musician?...when you have a day off in Japan and you stay in your hotel to create music.

[@Bato1109]

I really can't understand the one dislike!!! This video is simply great!

[@PeteThorn]

thanks!

[@CamiloVelandia]

Dude!!! sounds delicious.... Do I have to have an apollo to use it? I travel a lot with my Apogee Duet 2... if I could replace GuitarRig and Waves with these, it would be awesome

[@stratomanyjm3725]

love the lick @ 4 44 to 4 49 A+++ thanks for sharing Pete

[@shannonguitar]

Fantastic vids Pete! Straight up, no bullshit! Keep them coming mate.

[@PeteThorn]

shannonguitar Thanks! glad you like em!

[@Qiuvoweb]

So awesome. Thanks for the breakdown!

[@rhoydotp]

Pete can play inside a sardine can and still sound like he plays in a stadium! Great job, love the song.

[@williamwhalen7764]

Great solo Pete!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Hey Pete amazing playing . Do you mind saying what plug ins you like to use for mixing and mastering . Your stuff always has great volume and sound

[@KernRamsdell]

Hi, if I may, Pete made a long video where he mixed out one of his songs. If you paw through his video library you should be able to find it. Lots of UAD stuff if I recall.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Thanks so much dude !

[@KernRamsdell]

Yes sir!

[@19768444]

Whatever you play through,i know it's Pete,i don't have to watch :),you have your characteristic tone even with the digital stuff :) great great great

[@rockinchippy]

Fantastic Pete!

[@reffyguitar]

Really Enjoyed Pete. Amazing Talent

[@TheBhannah]

fantastic lead !

[@mauricecardinal6352]

Smokin' leads. Thanks for video.

[@nicost72]

It sounds great! And it also sounds like it feels great to play. As you have tons of experience with so much stuff, apart from being a great player, could elaborate a bit on what are the main differences (which I guess obviously exist...) between playing with a great, well miked amp, and using a very good emulation like this one? Thanx!!!

[@airbloomamplifiers]

Sounds good. Real amps, speakers, pedals do sound better to me but this is totally usable if you're on the road or have to keep it all in the box.

[@benvincent7728]

Hey Pete, Really great series so thanks very much for publishing. I have the same setup except the Suhr guitar (and talent unfortunately). Did you ever publish the settings of the uad plugins or console setting? Cheers again.

[@crismitchell]

Pete Wondering if you ever make the tones you come up with available as presets. All your amp settings sound amazing, I struggle to make the UAD plugs sound half as good as what you come up with. Your faithful follower from Pismo Beach.

[@ctld5266]

The sound is in its fingers

[@TsiratiugZ]

Pete, any plans to ever tour eastern US (specifically NJ)?

[@mandrias]

I love that guitar...

[@leonardosalomao6855]

Hey Pete, thanks for this another great video !!! What are the pickups of your green Suhr ? How did you get this amazing tone with bridge single coil without any noise ? They are noiseless ? Thanks from Brazil !!!

[@FedericoProietti]

Hi Pete, I have a question: Can I use this plugin with another interface or I must have one of the uad interfaces? thank you

[@Rhop]

Killer tones. When do you get home from Japan, Pete?

[@everettbutler4300]

thanks peter! very informative

[@skorobagatko]

awesome!

[@stevegreenberg9817]

Of course the demos are great but man this tune is killer- thanks!

[@dvdpz89]

What model of Sony headphones were you using?

[@gsenger3]

Pete, great recording, sounds fantastic! Being that you did all this in a hotel room, did you mix it down with headphones? If so, how did you get everything to sit so well in the mix?

[@PeteThorn]

Yes, I just use good headphones that I know really well- Sony 7506

[@danieldeck7946]

What a Tone!!!Cool ;-)

[@lukak74]

Hi pete, great player and great soul in your Music!! Which kind audio interface you have used?

[@NikolajChristensen]

Apollo twin

[@samsonyesudass250]

Brilliant !!

[@Jellybeantiger]

Killer sounds but also killer timing.

[@tattoofred]

Thanks for this video ;)

[@vinirosa]

Awesome.

[@thyagoguitarra3438]

Hi,Pete What is the model of the headphone are you using in this video?

[@TheSteveMayes]

Very, very tasteful stuff.

[@steveymoon]

Amazing... again. :)

[@dougalqualo]

Amazing!!!

[@FranBaudino]

Hi Pete ! Cheers from Argentina ! There is much difference between the sound of a Kemper vs this Uad plugins ? For recording..

[@PeteThorn]

Francisco Baudino Both work really well!

[@ratedrsuperstarthega]

Which headphones are you using Pete? Can anyone tell me?

[@Beizeiten78]

Pete, have you hit these plugs with real pedals? Thoughts?

[@haysfordays]

Jon Button in the room!!!!!!

[@xDooksx]

You're awesome

[@babiq8395]

great

[@Rudigervocals]

Really Really Really Really amazing !!!!!!

[@PeteThorn]

thank you!

[@Youturnswillie]

Tight

[@mrmagic1989]

Which drum software do you use?

[@PeteThorn]

Guitar Johhny usually, Steven Slate Drums or Logic Drummer

[@heliobluesrock]

Which headphones are you using?

[@PeteThorn]

Sony 7506's

[@BenCaffrey]

Pete, I should hate you, I really should. But your such a nice guy and your plsying makes me smile ha ha. Dammit!!!

[@henrikpetersson2899]

Why should you hate him?

[@BenCaffrey]

Annoying good.......

[@henrikpetersson2899]

It's pretty amazing what we can achieve in a hotel room with such a tiny setup these days. I mean it's that kind of recording quality that you would pay a lot of money for not that long ago. Really cool demo of the Friedmans! I was looking forward to hearing you playing them. How you do you like them compared to the other UAD/BX amps?

[@deltafit]

Imagine if the old greats had this technology back in the day. Zepplin, The Beatles, The Who, Van Halen...instead of smashing up hotel rooms they could of been making music in them instead :D

[@stratomanyjm3725]

deltafit when you say that i think of Jimi Hendrix sitting in a hotel just creating! your right the hotels where a time to party fuck girls and drugs it was a waste of time off.

[@deltafit]

stratoman YJM Yeah me too, imagine the songs/music that potentially 'could' of been written/recorded in that 'lost hotel room time' with all of this mobile recording studio technology. God damn lol

[@gtr1983]

We would miss out on all the great rumors and stories...lol

[@vermonation]

Killer. Again.

[@neilbarbu]

domo

[@AnthonyUK100]

Pete stop it! you make the rest of us sound so bad :-)

[@geirolav2]

He looks like tom cruise!

[@mauricecardinal6352]

Yes he does. Pete is so much more than Tom Cruise. ;)

[@GianfrancoTorrisiguitar]

SHIT!!! XD

[@deanguitarninja]

That's it!! I give up. There's no hope for me any more. How can anybody measure up to Pete. The perfect guitarist making it all look easy. I hate him.
