Emmett Kelley is the shit, it's great to hear him talk so deeply about guitar

[@ricardosalcedo2824]

Sweeney's tone on the first Superwolf record is one of my favoruite guitar tones ever. He somewhat reminds of the sounds that Daniel Lanois too.

[@howlinthewilderness]

He’s got that same Lanois mojo for me too. It’s all in the fingers.

[@baseboardmatt]

That dude could make any gtr sound great.

[@baseboardmatt]

Matt is the best! He’s on all the Run The Jewels records… and so much more. Definitely a hero of mine. Unsung AF.

[@melihkaleciklioglu]

He is??:0

[@Mandibularmenace]

Apparently he’s also on 4 tracks from Adele’s “21” which also have Chris Dave and Pino Palladino on them

[@tresjames]

Thanks for this. Been following Sweeney and Kelly for a while. Great to see Emmett Kelly's set up and words about music.

[@sspipes8739]

Please, please, please do a rig rundown with Ty

[@deaconddd]

These guys approach to guitar is what the modern guitar world needs. Love it and very inspired.

[@ppaaccco]

Nice to see recognition for some great guitar players like Emmett and Sweeney. Inspiring and oblique anti-rigs designed strictly for musical purposes. tonez for dayz.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

for anyone who is unfamiliar, go listen to Chavez right now. Sweeney has been giving us musical gold for years n years

[@Tyrannosaurine]

Chavez were so ahead of their time. Matt has this amazing ability to combine airy melody and stinging dissonance in such an interesting and unique way.

i agree 100% those melodies against the rhythms were insane @@Tyrannosaurine

[@T-Hawkeyes]

I came here to watch Chris interview his Dad.

[@alexstewart839]

Matt Sweeney played on my favorite recent Stephen Malkmus album. my favorite recent Iggy Pop album, and the Superwolf sequel! Good for him. He's doing great work.

[@gobbohunter]

The entire time Emmett was talking, I could just feel that Miku pedal looming in the background

He needs a drink.

[@highlandradioofficial5824]

@@vintagepipesnightmares no hate but why do you comment if you don’t like it? Just move on, you don’t like it but seek out opportunities in the comments to disagree with people? That’s not the way to be, surely. I love his playing and you don’t, so weird to look for a disagreement.

Any guitar dude who starts out talking about being inspired by Charo's playing is a good dude.

[@-k-b-]

Matt is a great man! His interview series he had where he'd just shoot the shit with a bunch of different guitarists is a gold mine! Also that's wild he uses flats, I just started using them and they are so much fun! I'm using "medium" gauge strings (56-13) and they're great for playing in lower tunings and not having the fret buzz makes distorted riffs sound super clean.

[@stevendavidson391]

This has been one of the most interesting Rig Rundowns in a while

[@heathband]

this is so great. saw them in SF recently w Little Wings. Top shelf

[@whatsabryan]

I stopped using a pick when I was told I was holding it incorrectly in my first formal guitar lesson. If there’s a “wrong” way to hold it, why would I bother? My fingers are attached to me. Impossible to use them incorrectly.

[@bukwok]

matt's body keep moving, like a metronome, around 110 bpm. everybody, yeah rock your body right backstreet's back alright!

[@biffstronghold3926]

4:58 He's playing some variation of 'Spike Driver Blues' by Mississippi John Hurt

[@yak6896]

musician=artist. these guys are. comes with awkwardness & art/music over explanations. good vid.

[@TheBitterestBoogie]

It’s incredible to see Emmett rocking some Frederic pedals, I use the Mutant Fuzz, fantastic pedal

[@2WheelsGood]

being bummed, being humiliated. the most truthful line about being a musician.

[@DolemiteSammich]

It is refreshing seeing other players with a similar take on gear as my own. No need to spend a ton of money or time, just play.

[@rickyl9540]

Hot cake pedals are great. If you turn the gain up to 3 o clock it will sustain like Neil Young. Made here in New Zealand!

[@jensk4140]

I'll probably buy one!

[@Creed_fan_69]

Matt’s the best. Epitome of Dudes Rockin.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I honestly never thought I’d see a Miku pedal in a Rig Rundown but I love it, that’s genuinely amazing to me

I didn’t know there were guitar geeks left who didn’t know the Miku, but I welcome you into the fold with open, noodly arms 😂🤷🏼‍♂️❤️

Ty Segall rig rundown WHEN?

[@danielcarter3928]

Emmett Kelly is the man

[@louderthangod]

I just don’t like the attack of fingerstyle on guitar but I use hybrid picking a lot. You just can’t chug properly with your fingers. Imagine Hetfield or Scott Ian playing thrash riffs without a pick…it just wouldn’t have the punch. For arpeggiated and wide-interval chords are beautiful with the fingers though. Flat’s are great with Strat’s and Tele’s.

[@ryanoconnor4279]

Agreed.

[@eliberdinner4808]

To chug with your fingers you just gotta be willing to bleed.

[@ST-xg3gy]

[@rolandstuetz1974]

Verzerrer simply is the german word for distortion

[@Hortron69]

Tried flatwound and ground wound, the best of both worlds

[@micktheman6]

Every finger picker says you can do everything without a pick but can you do tremolo picking or pinch harmonics with ease without a pick ? Killer player though.

[@ryanoconnor4279]

Agreed. There are many things that using a flat pick allows you to do that are impossible with fingers only

[@Caveira138]

I had a buddy that was a finger player and sounded like Dimebag. If you're good enough you can do it.

[@darwinsaye]

Pinch harmonics are actually easier with no pick if your nails are the right length. When I do a downstroke with my index finger nail, all I have to do is angle my finger slightly and the flesh of my fingertip will catch the string as it follows through, creating the harmonic. To be honest, I have to be careful to not accidentally be doing harmonics on every pick stroke, it’s that easy. But yeah, for staccato picking, no technique is as effective as just using a pick.

[@micktheman6]

@@darwinsaye I like my nails short when playing so I’ll never get there glad you can though.

[@Daniel-sz2pe]

You can use several fingers on one string for tremolo, mostly a technique that classical players use

[@rosettag7292]

First time seeing a Miku on a board, bold.

[@tonykey83]

The fingerstyle-approach reminds me of Alain Johannes... check his live solo with TCV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqbip1oe6iUmJY

I am sorry but there are many things you cant do without a pick such as Bo Diddley strumming, downpick chugs w/ power chords, tremolo picking, pinch harmonics. Fingers are too warm and found sounding. You can learn how to make a pick soundc fatter and warmer…

[@ileutur6863]

This dude seems to have some weird resentment towards rock music. To each their own I guess, I've just never heard this mentality before

[@darwinsaye]

Not every guitarist is interested in being a “rock” player, but when the general public sees you with an electric guitar, they have a stereotyped expectation that they should hear typical classic/blues based rock. When you are doing something different or your own thing on guitar, those stereotyped expectations can be frustrating. It’s like that thing where a band steps on a stage and some idiot in the back always yells “Freebird” even if it’s a jazz band or a metal band, or a funk band or whatever. The rock resentment attitude in a guitarist is understandable, and not unheard of.

[@ileutur6863]

@@darwinsaye so the resentment is misdirected. Instead of resenting the extremely broad and creative genre of rock music, resent the dumb crowds

[@primeDecomposition]

Eh, typical hipster attitude.
