[@philplusguitar]

A very underrated guitarist. He's awesome.

I wish he would solo for longer

3:16 you can’t see his hand move. I play guitar too and let me tell you, that’s impossible

The most underappreciated guitarist I've ever heard.

No I'd say jag tanna from I mother earth is even more underappreciated

[@taylerthompson7559]

This guy is a riff monster

[@ahbuben777]

very very very very original guitarist. so amazing riffs.

[@harrybalszak7526]

This guy never got the credit he deserved. Humbley Canadian to the bone. Truly for the craft.

[@AUTI5T1X]

These guys are such an INCREDIBLE band. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have seen them earlier this past summer at WTFest in Brantford Ontario. Out of all of the shows I've seen, that show was BY FAR the most energetic I've seen.

[@mattvdh]

I've always loved his guitar playing and the tones he comes up with. To me he is the brains and the sound of BT. His guitar tone is so good!

[@superboyrecordings]

just saw him play a week ago. heard every note loud and clear, perfect like the records. all while singing. he and BT are incredible

[@ER_aka_RAM]

One of the best of the generation 🤘🏽

[@UnrealPhantom]

Love the Canadian maple leaf on the guitar.

[@existential_]

Always loved his tone... a single coil in almost metal type tones.. it sounds heavy but also full like Lifeson and twangy.. so good and unique

[@nicolasheinz8414]

Didn't he say he build in a staggered pickup?

[@Tino5150VH]

That guy is a legit master! Absolutely brilliant performance

[@seymourduncan]

Ian is a legend! 🤘

[@josuanachname1914]

I finally stumbled over Billy Talent and I have to say to me this is an outstanding guitarist. Love his sound, feeling for music and technique.

[@Owenator26]

Ian is one of my biggest influences to start playing guitar. I met him in Toronto years ago at the Horseshoe Tavern and got a picture and chatted a bit with him super chill guy! One of the greatest most unique guitar player's out there.

[@thenightmare92]

Dude is a super underrated guitarist. He is a genius at making catchy riffs for Billy Talent. With proper practicing, anyone can shred. Making a catchy riff for a big band is no easy task, but he’s great at it!

[@shaunward4895]

How does this guy not have his own signature fender strat yet? But Jim root does.

[@samb1232]

I would totally buy it if an Ian D'sa strat was released

[@sirbiggithbrian]

Because your mom has heard of Slipknot, but probably has no clue who Billy Talent are.

[@AufKohleGeboren]

What’s wrong about Jim Root? He’s also excellent in his way 🤷🏼

[@shinboke55]

Because Billy Talent is from Canada and they're not as popuar in the United States.

[@Bobo411]

I'm someone who doesn't really pay attention to band members, especially ones who aren't lead singers, but he stands out to me. Only person I've ever said "who is the guitarist?" Very unique sound.

[@atkef2]

shame on you for being that person!

[@emirfaez]

You are so underrated genius musician ..

СУПЕР!

[@qs965]

Grey Eagle Casino ! I was there baby

[@matthewvarney6214]

I wouldn't naturally associate the Billy Talent guitar sound with a Fender strat but having played a "loaded" strat which is able to both sing and roar, it does actually make sense to me, they are very versatile guitars 🎸

[@jaketreece]

He only uses a Strat live! In the studio, he has used a 52 reissue Tele since the first album. He will use LP's an such for overdubs, but the Tele is 99% of the tones on the record.

[@matthewvarney6214]

@@jaketreece ahh ok, so why doesn't he use the tele live?

[@jaketreece]

@@matthewvarney6214 he said in an interview a few years back that the Strat with a humbucker is the perfect guitar for live tones since the Strat cleans up nice like a Tele, but he gets the fat humbucker sound like a LP. I always wondered why he doesn’t use an HH Tele instead, but I’m wondering if the curves of the Strat just became more comfortable for him live. He used to use Teles live in the early days on BT

[@pedrosoares7273]

0:20 did he just say he has a JB5 on the bridge position? What is a JB5?

[@WilliamYoder72]

Imma assume it's an sh5

[@TheVerdon3]

Iam not an guitarist and i know there is more than just 1 guitar but holy shit that much instruments and he do so much stuff on the stage.... incredible

[@senscape6891]

I had his exact sound with a knockoff strat and a $50 practice amp when I was 12

[@Partheseus]

i have no idea what he just said, but it was awesome

[@Metal_encyclopedia]

Is it pronounced billy talen, or billy talent

[@JaySmith-or3us]

Ian is awesome. Sweet style, very underrated player but great Canadian musician! With out him billy talent wouldn’t have there sound.

[@mcsheesh2052]

Hey you guys at Seymour Duncan and all the others who read this. Do you know which Bridge pickup Ian uses on his white Fat Strat Deluxe?

[@isaiahcoles3274]

Pit Neumann it's the new JB

[@OCELOT_2221]

2:20 he does that in a song… doesn’t he??? Which one I? I can’t remember for the life of me!

[@TheRumbles13]

Diezel! Damn

[@Scarecrow964]

Any idea what guitar strap he has

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

This is a badass rig but did anyone else notice that Ian has an insanely sibilant "S" when he talks?

Didn't say anything about that giant rocker pedalboard with all the lights flashing and 30 switches, what do they do all the major guitar playes used them.

[@andiwguitarplay1128]

Danke Meiner!

[@Hotitalianman]

Which staggered pickups does he use?

[@mush182]

Does that strat have jumbo frets?

[@HLBmusix]

Is it really the SH-4 JB humbucker? Ian said in the video its the JB trembucker Alnico 5-loaded. I found the JB Trembucker TB-4 on your official homepage. Which one is it?

[@seymourduncan]

A JB is the same as a JB Trembucker, although the Trembucker version's poles are slightly wider for guitars with trem systems. This link explains it all: www.seymourduncan.com/faqs/what-does-trembucker-mean-and-how-is-it-different-from-humbucker

[@Hotitalianman]

What does he use for neck and mid pickups?

[@CrazyGuitarGuy]

Anyone got the Neural Amp modeler for his rig?

[@digitaldman]

What guitar strap is that ?

[@charlieg7388]

Looks like Johnny Stevens from highly suspects strat

[@carlos3164]

Song name?

[@efhelin8738]

he said jb 5 on the video but why in description you say he use sh 4?

[@t75ftw]

JB5 does not exist, imo

[@mikeallen4200]

I am groot.....

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

I can't believe it. All these years I thought for sure he played a Tele'

[@ozmobozo]

He is a tele player but for concerts he prefers a strat. I'm guessing it's because strats are lighter and a bit more comfortable.

[@shaneemanuel83]

He needs to be added to G3

[@geoffh8077]

The rhythm tones on the records are a telecaster though.

[@MetalxMasters]

And a majority of the new album was also tracked with Gibson LPs.

[@gergoretvari6373]

the studio is different environment. he mainly uses his special Telecaster for cleans and stuff, combining that with the heavier stuff with a Les Paul. But using that two for live would be hard, so instead he uses a Stratocaster that kinda combines to two aspects of those guitars.

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

That venue looks like it will sound terrible, but will be a fun open floor for the audience

[@Mr-Cat-Kat]

[@cover-me]

Maybe he has no forehead, but he has much more

[@xMIRAKx]

Billy Talent is still a thing?

[@naed_coral]

They are way more thing now than ever before... you're missing out, go see them!

Sure! Their songs have grown so did BT's audience ;)
