Putting this here so you might actually see it. With the pinch harmonics the "sweet spot" can really vary. Not only does it vary guitar to guitar, but also which string and even which note you play. For example, if you're playing a harmonic on the a string on fret 5, the position on the string where it'll ring out well might be a few millimeters different from playing on the 7th fret on the same string. So explore up and down the string what sound you get picking that harmonic. Also, if you hang on a note like F# on low E, and pick the harmonic at different points, it'll ring different and give you lots of options for how you might want to play it in any given riff. Stillborn by Black label society is a great example of this. The main riff of the song is just him fretting 1 note and picking the harmonic in a few different places up and down. Gives the illusion of movement when really his left hand is pretty much just hanging on one fret all day.

Scale length also affects one's ability to do pinch harmonics. If you're used to finding pinch harmonics on a 24.75" scale, 25.5 is going to feel a little weird. And you can replace those examples with any scale length.

It's the same idea as the fret placement on a larger scale being different than the placement on a shorter scale. Guitar players eventually reach a point in their skill, where they don't have to think about finding the pinch harmonics when swapping between guitars with different scale lengths.

I had a guy in Wilmington NC build me a strat (I know, this is a metal show) out of heart pine that came from roof trusses from the first mansion built in Wilmington. From 1738. It is the heaviest fucking guitar, in weight, you will ever play. I haven't weighed it, but compared to my Les Paul, it is much heavier. If you threw this guitar off a 10-story building, it would sink into the concrete below. Guitar would be fine. The guitar is fucking awesome, I love it. And it cost me less than than a Fender American perform series, their cheapest American made guitars. Full disclosure, the neck did come from Warmoth. I have a couple of guitars from local luthiers around where i live. They are all my go to guitars. My Les Paul sits on the rack most of the time.

A little tip I learned for pool cues that's great if your guitar headstock gets dinged in shipping: Take a tea kettle and once it's boiling and steam is shooting out, hold the indentation in the path of the steam concentrating on that particular spot. Keep wiping off the condesnsation and be patient. The wood will swell back into place. It won't be perfect, but you can get the dent 90-95% of the way out.

Well, I finally saw it. I knew I would. You’re starting to have fun learning that edge of breakup and twangy shit.

And, in my (probably expert by now) opinion, it’s making you a better guitar player. Forced you to learn techniques that your favorite metal players learned to develop their amazing skills. Later, when you started your shred runs, I heard major improvements in your hammer-ons and pull offs. Also in your accuracy and note clarity. Speaking of, what a fantastic guitar in this video. I’ve got like 25-30 guitars. Need to thin the herd. But once I have some space, I may very well get one of these. Beautiful aesthetics, great sound, and looks playable as hell. Thanx Glenn!

Kinda have a weird topic I’d like to see you cover. I’m a big doom metal guy. That genre involves a lot of fuzz and distortion. From my understanding fuzz and distortion were created to recreate a broken amp/cut speaker sound. So the goal is sounding broken. I don’t know if it’s because my understanding of that or what but my favorite pickups to recreate that sound are P90’s or TV Jones style pickups. Not incredibly hot wired humbuckers. The pickups I like seem to take fuzz much better. They get that stoner metal/doom sound so perfectly! I’m definitely a hobbyist and by no means a professional. So I guess I want to know if I am just completely wrong on this and if I am how wrong am I? Have you ever tried to record a more sludgey metal on pickups that just were not hot at all? There’s just something about them that catches the spirit of that broken amp sound perfectly for me.

Hey Glenn! Pinch harmonics are always going to exist at exact points along the string length, just like natural harmonics. Different scale lengths will move them around a little, and even different arm contours on the guitar can move where your picking hand hangs out on the guitar, so watch for that too. Also just wanted to say thanks for showing us some clean tones. It's good to know whether a guitar can be useful in other areas. The philosophy of having one guitar that only does one thing really well might be getting a little dated as prices increase across the board and space becoming a premium with cost of rent. Obviously, this is a metal production channel and we do want to know if it works for metal, but it's also nice to know that I could potentially take a certain axe to play in a wedding band if I had to and actually make a little money.

When I was a kid I had an Epiphone Les Paul custom and loved it so much, but I always wanted a real Gibson. 18 years later I finally got one and was extremely disappointed with the quality; for over 2000 dollars, I at least expected it to stay in tune. I sold it 2 years later and bought a Greco Les Paul copy from 1984 for 1000 bones. I was blown away at how much better it was than the Gibson I paid twice as much for. The quality of these guitars is on par with guitars that cost 2-4 times as much. Thanks for all the great advice Glen, your videos have helped me overcome brand snobbery.

But I've seen you demo several of your alternatives now, and I wouldn't been seen dead with most of them. Consider this "gem": it looks like it was made in an 8th grade shop class.

The unholiest of unholy Celtic Frost records. Tom Fischer dies a little inside every time it is invoked.😂

how do we get that twang on our guitartone? It certainly isn't tonewood or the pickups, so what could it be?

i just purchased a Schecter Reaper Elite MS-7 in Blood Burst and its amazing, and a great contender for $1500 and under. I got mine for $1200 USD ($1300USD after taxes used). The blue colorway only goes for $1K USD used. Any chance you would pick one up to show off? Made in South Korea and amazing quality!

I just wish the scale and number of frets could've been given. Looks like 22 frets an the Gibson scale looking at your hands. But confirmation would be great. That could've been why the pinch harmonics are harder to get as their placement has shifted.

The second I heard a cord I had a deep and burning desire to hear the "King of The Hill" theme song. Thank you!

It was cool to see this. For the past couple months, I've been building a single humbucker V guitar from reclaimed wood. 😂

Hey Glen, what do you think about the harley benton V but the SBK Vintage one, it seems to have different hardware than the black active one and was looking to get it

My main guitar is a 1993 Gibson Les Paul Studio (the one with the ebony fretboard). A true road warrior, I paid $300 for it at my local Pawnshop.

Damn Glenn, your playing is really sounding solid! The guitar looks amazing. Love the cut out for the higher fret access.
