I was about to do a video like this and this came up in my recommended so I am sharing it with everyone I know. This is fundamental for heavy metal guitars.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

Rock on man 🙌 great minds....

[@Jim.Foster]

Triple Tracking! The Randy Rhoads sound!!!🤟🤟🤟

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

That's how you do it!!!! 🎸🔥

[@markstiffler6898]

I was playing tight with myself before I watched this :) I've double tracked before blending different guitars and amps both - I'll try this,. Love the track - GREAT CHANNEL!!

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

Thanks man, it's a great way of doing it. There's more than one way to skin a cat, but triple tracking is one of my favorites!

[@CryptToneMusic]

I just saw a Warren Huart trick with double tracked guitars where he sends each one to a reverb track but then pans the reverb track to the opposite side of whatever guitar track it's for. It adds a lot of space and roomyness, I might have to try this triple tracking method and add that in as well!

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

Dude that's a great idea! I'll have to try it. That's the great thing about recording, there's an infinite amount of things you can do manipulate and capture sound

[@CryptToneMusic]

@@TheNeuroticGuitarist i think combined with your Triple tracking method it could almost be like a pseudo wet dry wet type thing too but even bigger sounding. The center track would stay dry and clear while the L and R tracks would have reverb from the opposite sides. You could even throw on a subtle delay as well, not so much you'd notice it while playing but just enough to make the tone a little wet and give it a little more space

[@RByrne]

That's interesting, and you explained it so even I could understand it!

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

Haha, glad to be of service, happy Thanksgiving

[@adamgray8009]

Love this content Bennie! Funny I did the same thing this week, but with a twist. Hard right and hard left with same guitar and different amps. Then for chorus when I want a more massive sound, I added the third (albeit different guitar) down the middle so the guitars really bloomed on the chorus and makes the already huge sounding guitars sound more massive.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

It's by no means a secret trick and there's more than one way to skin a cat! But if you know what you're doing it works everytime 🙌

[@evanmiller2579]

Just found your channel today. Love it! What frequencies are you carving out? Same on each channel? Is there any danger with the middle guitar that it will not leave enough space for keys, vocals, bass etc even with the high pass filter?

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

Mostly stuff below 150hz. That's all in what sounds you use, but I find keys tend to find a lot of the high and low frequencies that guitars don't take up, so if you use the right patches you can get them to sound huge. I use synths to beef up the low end sometimes like muse does.

[@mstram]

Guitar sounds great ! Is the finished song on KZbin ?

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

Thanks man, no it's not, but I thought about posting a playthru of the whole thing? Would you wanna see it?

Happy Thanksgiving! Keep tokin' bro!

🔥🙌 Happy Thanksgiving to you

[@leahgannon]

Loving these videos. I feel like a fly on the wall. 🎶🎸😂 Question… if there’s a third guitar in the middle here, where exactly does the bass sit in the mix and at what eq settings generally?

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

The bass is usually panned down the middle, bass is omnipresent, so it's pretty directionless. I like the bass to sound growly in the mid range where it kinda sounds like a fourth guitar, but then the mid bass (100-200hz range) is a whole separate animal. I don't put high pass filters on everything, but I tend to only let the kick drum and bass live below 100 other than keys or something meant to shake the poo out of the my stomach 😅

[@leahgannon2718]

@@TheNeuroticGuitarist yes I was thinking the bass would make sense panned in the middle. Bellow 100 for kick and bass, good to know🎶. “Shake the poo” out of one’s stomach, now that’s a new one. 😂👌🏻

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

@@leahgannon2718 bass is directionless. You could pan it, but it really doesn't do much. It doesn't have the stereo dynamics of guitar because of the way bass frequencies work. It's taken me years and years of tinkering to get it to sound like that!

[@roberttucker4754]

The 'Metal Blast', face expression. Tony Iommi is the double track master.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

He def rocks!!! Metal faces help the guitar sound heavier! 🤣

[@billy2896]

Apparently in Hum's "You'd Prefer An Astronaut", the guitar is triple-tracked! :)

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

Rock on, probably sounds huge! Subscribe and join the madness billy 🙌

[@hibernative]

Does it work similarly with the same, recorded track just played through 3 amps, or do I actually need to learn how to play and nail it 3 times?

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

You'll make it sound bigger but nowhere near the same, you gotta nail it at least twice. When you put the same track through it may sound sonically bigger, but the trick in this case is hard panning the different takes which means the little nuances create a huge stereo effect. John Lennon hated doing doubles but knew how much better they made the record sound so he actually would have the engineer speed up and slow down the tape to be able to use the same track. So yes, you gotta do it multiple times!

[@castleanthrax1833]

Yes, it's the little imperfections, or microseconds between each track that give the "breadth" to your recording.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

[@michaelbutcher9343]

Benny, do you have any tips on getting manageable tone from a marshall yjm100 amp?

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

That's a very open ended question, do you not like the tone you're getting? What sound are you aiming for? Yngwie def has that ice pick strat sound

[@TheRealXira]

Have you tried the method of doubling the hard panned guitars, but with a bass guitar with the riff played on the D string? Then you run it through the same amp settings for the hard panned guitars. It does something pretty cool to the low mids of the guitars. Gives them some real weight to the sound.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

I have done that and it's rad but I've gone one step deeper which I don't talk about on this video. I do what a lot of bands are doing now, take a band like muse, and I'll double my guitars with a Moog or other type of subsonic synth. Same idea, covers rhe frequencies that guitars don't touch and makes it sound HUGE! Thanks for watching and sharing, please subscribe and join the madness 🙌

[@TheRealXira]

@@TheNeuroticGuitarist 😲 Now that is an awesome idea Benny!! One which I haven't heard of anyone else doing before. I'm not sure if it's one of your concoctions or not, but it sounds genuinely like an original take on a old idea. Would you consider doing more videos from the studio side of things? I'd love to be able to see your studio set up, and recording/mixing process's. Etc. And I've been subbed for a good year or so now 👍😁. Watch all your videos, usually manage to catch the videos as they go live. I just need to start commenting more often. 😅 In a over saturated KZbin market for guitar content. You provide genuine, and thoroughly entertaining and informative videos. Never cease to keep bringing the madness Benny. It's what makes you unique, and it's why we love you buddy. 👍
