The thing about 80s hard rock and metal is that it gets rightly dissed for the outfits and lyrics, but a lot of the music is really, really good. And in my opinion has the best guitar players. EVH of course being #1, but many others.

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

Yes. The ridiculously cheesy, hormone overdrive Lyrics and hairspray did the music a dis-service. T Shirts and Jeans was the way to go and it needed lyrics from above the crotch and less recycled. If it wasn't for the guitar work and the drums I wouldn't have bought half of the music that I did back then. Even though some of the singers were great, the lyrics that they sang were just stupid.

I graduated high school in 1985, so I was there. My rig was a Crate G130C and a Crate 4 X 12 loaded with Celestions. Heavy use of stereo chorus, reverb, and scooped eq pedal. That's what I used. I had two guitars, a B.C. Rich Gunslinger and a Les Paul Standard.

[@neilkendall5499]

Excellent video. I'd say another component of sounding 80s is getting that 'hair metal' guitar tone, where you drop the bass to around a quarter, then boost the mids and highs to around 3 quarters to get that really nasal sounding, biting 80s distortion tone which slams through the mix, in the vein of George Lynch, Vito Bratta, Warren DeMartini etc. In my opinion, the quintessenial 80s sounding amps/premamps were the Soldano SLO 100 or the ADA MP-1 preamp, but you can achieve the 80s 'hair metal' tone with Marshalls if you work the EQ in the way I suggest.

[@deeblack9393]

The biggest influence on the 80s sound was Eddie Van Halen!

[@vondragonnoggin]

Kind of a trip watching this as I grew up starting guitar playing in the 80’s. A couple defining style differences though from an era where the genre had fewer categories. We had hair metal, power metal, thrash metal, punk, speed metal, and of course - no false metal! 🤘🏻 As someone that naturally writes 80’s metal style (Power Metal, Thrash Metal) the one thing I get is a high gain, percussive tone that has good note separation but chunks pretty hard on palm mutes and make those high chords grab a dissonant low E string note extra for thickening it because we didn’t play 7 strings or much low tuning. Standard tuning on a six string - late 80’s and 90’s the dropped D started coming in more. Delay on the leads and maybe some chorus without a ton of depth and zero modulation for thickening the sound a la Dave Murray, Adrian Smith style. Also a bit more modulation for the KK Downing, Glenn Tipton style. Some thickening of the midrange for Vivian Campbell, or Michael Denner, or scoop it for Hetfield/Hammet. Somewhere amongst all that you’ll find the tone you want. Whammy bar tricks for 80’s refer to KK Downing or Brad Gillis. It’s interesting to watch you play though because I can hear a lot of 80’s influence on your playing and tastes. Leon Todd is kind of the same way with a definite 80’s influence. Great video!

How I used to do it: Marshall jcm 800 50 watt head. pre amp maxed. Boss hm2 pedal with the output maxed and the gain about nine o'clock for solos, heavy riffs. Boss chorus and delay for sauce. Lots of thumping E and A strings underpining simple two finger chords. Not difficult but your timing has to be spot on and tbf the attitude just has to be eighties. So your looking for a full sound at all times unless you are rolling the volume back for the power ballad! You've got to cover the power ballad next, Rob.

That tone is what I dreamed of circa 1989 for sure! I love the variations on rhythm guitar playing. I had actually kind of forgotten how different rock players had their own unique versions of the style, i.e. George Lynch, Kiss, etc. Jake E. Lee is another one used a different approach to chording. He almost reminds me of a hard rock Johnny Smith (Jazz player, look up "Moonlight in Vermont" with Stan Getz) in that he played melodies that sound similar to typical metal riffs, but I always knew I was missing something with Jake E. Lee. He was a master of interesting chording. Awesome video amigo, and actual great lesson!

watcheed the andertones sound like evh the other day and realized the importance of adding phase,flange,chorus,and delay to pad out the space of the saturated guitar but in very small ammounts really adds the "sparkle" to the glam riffs

[@allenblackwell2433]

Without Reverb and Delay, it still sounds good, more like 70’s tone, in which what was desired then was sweet warm and creamy feedback. The reverb and delay, brought in the Mountain High/ Cascading effect. Effects are very nice, but some just rely on it to the point that it’s the “end all, be all”, and it really isn’t. But, to each is their own; because it helps me determine how to use effects in ways that aren’t like the majority uses; for instance I try to use no more than two at a time, going thru 100 watts into 2-12” cab. But then again, who’s not doing that. The whole idea is to be able to have variety at your feet, with the idea of distinct sound coloration; not being limited with “Old School Bland Sounding Guitar”( no effects; I won’t be to do that one 😂😂😂😂).
