How about a shootout between a Hendrix rig and an SRV rig?

[@bluejavelina5335]

south paws have different tone

[@Icepacalapse]

Yngwie and SRV both were able to get Hendrix tone playing righty. By selecting the proper pickup polarity and winding direction, a right handed player can get very close. Both also played around using lefty necks and bodies and playing them on righty to get even closer.

[@JunkCCCP]

Good luck getting a Dumble amplifier for the SRV rig

[@jefflitchfield4950]

@@JunkCCCP It's not necessary at all.

[@bigfootingermany]

@@Icepacalapse I was watching an interview with BB King and Albert King on meeting Jimi Hendrix. One of the remarks by BB King really surprised me about Jimi. BB said he couldn't understand why Jimi didn't string the righty up as a lefty. So apparently he literally just took the guitar and flipped it over. Meaning all the strings were over the proper pole piece. I always assumed he just got a lefty nut and restrung the righty as a lefty... SRV used a lefty bridge in a righty body and righty neck.

Pharmer David what an ignorant comment

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

14:42 He didn't start using that kind of pickup just because he wanted a change of pickup. It's because he moved to 24 frets, which meant a humbucker had to move "back" towards the bridge, which meant the sound would change somewhat. - So he figured to push "forward" the pickup-area as much as possible, he could use a single-coil sized humbucker and also have it pushed as much up against the end of the fretboard as possible. - This is to try and retain that more full and rounded sound you'd get with a humbucker on a 22-fret guitar.

[@EdwoodCA]

Exactly, yes. Plus, the he had the extra bit of fretboard that most guitars have, past the 24th fret, cut down to help with the position of the stacked humbucker, as well.

Leo Pizarro Paul Gilbert. Just listen to him playing his song Get out of my yard or Technical Difficulties. He’s the most versatile guitarist in the world. He can shred, play jazz, neoclassical and can write successful songs that are actually played on the radio.

[@CoolAsianGuy]

@@cigo but can he write dream theater song? lol

[@cigo]

Gurls Talents Don’t get me wrong, Petrucci is a great shredder, but not the most versatile player.

[@zubin1zubin]

Great concept. One more could spawn form here. Signature guitars vs their standard counter parts. That could help the potential buyers torn between std and Sig models to understand the differences and what to expect and what not to. How are guitars different or better than each other in tone, feel quality and of course a very valuable opinion on if it's worth to part with extra money, more often than not for the signatures. The newest les paul standards/traditionals vs their slash signature counter parts from both Gibson and epiphone could make for epic insightful 4 guitar video. and fans would get to hear them!!

[@cdreid99999]

good point but. Sig guitars i think are about people who are enamoured with that player. They already have 5 or..30 guitars.. but that sig is their dream. Has ZERO to do with how it plays

[@stratotele12]

cdreid99999 I have a signature model and not for any of the reasons you mentioned. I got the Bonamasa Epiphone and while I like and respect his playing, I wouldn't call me a fan. It just had the features I wanted (fat neck, Gibson pickups, Pelham blue, etc).

[@cdreid99999]

I love Jems for the same reason. I admire Vai's ability but dont listen to his music, not a fan of it. etc. I love the thin light HSH , wizard neck etc etc

[@zubin1zubin]

Spot on. On eastern made budget instrument end, there is a vintage Jerry Donahue tele copy. Never heard his music but tempted to buy the guitar due to specs and versatility, well or at least to try it.

[@jeanjoun2774]

wow no way! My local guitar stores are the Sam Ash and GC in Carle Place... wonder if they ever stopped by in their youth

[@tdz69]

Joes mom used to go to the drug store next to a deli I worked at when I was just starting college. Back in those days there was no iPhone. If you wanted pics you used 35mm film and dropped it off at the drug store for developing. I was in a band back then and had some band pics being developed. The lady who finished the roll for me saw some shots of me playing. She asked me if I knew who Joe Satriani was. Of course I said yes. She told me his mother comes in all the time. I thought it was cool but went on my way and didn’t think much. About two weeks later this older woman comes into the deli and asks for me. She said “I hear you are a fan of my son Joseph”. Didn’t register. Until she said “I’m Mrs Satriani.” We sat for about a half hour and talked. She was the sweetest woman and a very proud mom. The following month Joe was playing his first G3 tour. Mrs Satriani asked if I was going. I told her no. I was living on my own and barely had two nickels to run together. Well she wasn’t having it. I went to see G3 as her guest. I sat with her in the 5th row and after got to meet Joe and Vai. Kenny Wayne shepherd and Robert fripp were on that tour also but nowhere to be found back stage. I still have my ticket stub, pass and poster I had Joe and Steve sign. Mrs Satriani was a wonderful woman and I’ll never forget her smile or generosity.

Dave Mustaine vs James Hetflied shootout! :))

[@cdreid99999]

Hetfield is a GENIUS writer. For his riffs , for writing songs he can play while singing etc etc. One of the best metal/rock songwriters ever born. But mustaine.. and a lot of others would kick his ass in a 'shred contest'. And he'd be the first to tell you that. Mustaine though isnt even in his league as far as writing though

[@ChadEverhart01]

I stopped listening to Metallica when I learned they kick dogs & laugh thinking it's hilarious

[@chevychiss]

Mustaine would send Hetfield and Hammett to get him a burger in a shred contest

[@jupitermoongauge4055]

Yeah, that would great, hopefully they would shoot each other

[@darrenbatty7090]

Actor Chad Everhart something that was alleged from 2009-ish in an interview after which mustaine said he would put the interviewer in the hospital and that their website was garbage? Seems like maybe it’s kinda bullshit that whole thing dude

[@guitarsimon1]

Some of the best jams ever on the channel. Also somewhat ironically the jam at the end reminded me of Voices by Dream Theatre.

[@coconejococonejo]

[@oisinmcphillips2090]

this is the best Rob's played in a while, must be nice to just let loose every once in a while

[@Fektthis]

You notice nobody complains about the shredding when it's a cover of shredding? Odd how that works out. ( I never complain. Rob's playing always sounds fine to me )

[@Fektthis]

I think it's more a matter that on a lot of these videos, they're all just noodling around and demoing a product they've played with for maybe 30 minutes before shooting. In this video, Rob and Bea are playing mostly covers from guitar gods. If you read the comments on as many videos as I've seen it always seems like people seem to get all glowy and happy whenever he and Lee do a cover tune even if most of them don't realize it. I've seen em do Skid Row a few times and 90% of the people commenting have no idea it's Skid Row and get all gushy.

[@Fektthis]

it could also be a case of just not caring much for the product they demo that day. if you're just not feeling it sometimes it's hard to fake it.

[@JasonCone]

I had a similar thought: his playing and the JEM go well together.

[@rnichol22]

A classic Steve Via song from the Zappa era has to include, "Stevie's Spanking." Not only are the lyrics about Via but he and Zappa shred all over it.

13:56 The JS body shape is based on the Radius / 540R body, that Joe's input made tiny adjustments to. 14:58 Just a heads up: The vol push/pull pot is the high pass filter [for both pickups] and the tone push/pull is the coil-tap for both pickups. ​@t

[@Soldano999]

The Jem hands down. Although the Satriani has better pickups.

[@aaeonkarma3717]

I'm surprised you're not representing any o the Satriani pedals, they're pretty cool

[@jem70v]

Love both, recently got the woody JEM which IMO is game over!

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

John Naismith Niiice! The woody looks so goddamned pretty. Waaay up on my wanted list.

[@jem70v]

Adam Osborne it's a stunner, love the Dark Matter 2 pups. Absolutely way above my skill level! 😂

[@DriFD3S]

The Woody is the sexiest JEM ever, IMHO. I wonder if they would ever make a 7 string version?

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

Evan Sales We can only hope. That would be one hell of a thing.

[@EOHRyan]

I never quite understood the Woody Jem, for me the Jem was always about it looking flamboyant, colourful and a bit over the top, but the Woody is more grown up looking. The best looking Jems are the 777 in Lochness Green, the DNA Anniversary guitar with the DNA inlay and the swirl paint and maybe the original blue flower pattern guitars.

[@jeffeesonalves1569]

of corse Joe satriani

[@samuelrhodes6073]

Can you please please please do a sounds like Steve Vai without busting the bank? I would like to know how the JEM JR or any other guitar would play in that budget.

[@TheJuvenalis]

Paul Gilbert vs Buckethead next please

[@tanujsingh1134]

Slash and Angus Young!

[@ThunderChem]

Pointless comment - Aliens

[@kbkman7742]

the loudest you ever heard? Someone needs tickets to a Sunn O))) gig

[@RabeaMassaad]

kabukiman69 oh dude, I’ve heard this about Sunn O))) but I’ve never seen them live. I want to go experience it hahah

[@kbkman7742]

Rabea Massaad I used to make jokes about them. Then I bought a ticket... it was like a religious experience. If you like loud guitar then this is like an absolute extreme where you feel like the sheer stage volume is surrounding you and lifting you off the ground. Conceptually cool too tho, when I saw them they had synth players and a trombonist, and atillah from mayhem doing super low pitch chanting. All very weird but rewarding.

[@darvyowolf]

shoot out with? Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughn to iconic guitars and to iconic guitar players!

[@markmcmullan3351]

I get it you had to butcher these song because of copywrite issues . Lol .

[@duncanrathband5492]

Blue Powder, yeah!

[@Maorsol]

Alex lifeson vs Billie Joe Armstrong

[@Jdub54]

TheRockShow Absolutely! Both of my favorite bands and players.

[@Axel_Xirics_Music]

Dimebag Darell vs. Kirk Hammett

[@EOHRyan]

That's an insult to Dimebag, Dimebag was a complete monster of a talent that few people can match, Kirk Hammet isn't really that proficient... If we're talking about their guitars though, still Dimebag though it's not my thing.

[@dohoeijmans2432]

EOHRyan Exactly

02:21 Love how Bea smiles after “warm, smooth liquidy tone”

[@GordonHeaney]

The Vai one probably plays beautifully...but looks horrible

[@josephgrande8933]

i agree not a fan of the neon colors

[@griffinsdr1811]

Lol it's a bit much, not a surprise that Steve only uses his White ones live.

[@1337wafflezz]

I feel like whoever pulls out that guitar is about to be featured in a vapor wave track in cyperpunk Neo Tokyo while riding around in their Lamborghini Countach

[@BoyAditya]

I love PGM Paul gilbert model hahahahaha I hate it when the volume is (too) near my hand ... but I prefer Joe Satriani model. more simple because I don't have to deal with middle pickup

[@powermarkuz]

Nailed it

[@geetarguy777]

Boy Aditya smaller neck as well, because alas, I have small hands. 😂

[@terrycornelius4]

I'd buy any of them. To be fair, I have two Ibanez. An RG350DXZ and a PGM-3. After switching from the RG to the PGM, it's so hard return to the RG again because I got so used to the Volume knob at the far end of the guitar.

[@Snoopdave2000]

if the satriani model had bigger frets id be sold, i like the more traditional feel but modern frets hardware ect
