This guy has the best use of a Floyd Rose I have ever seen. Really unique. Similar to a pitch bend on a synth.

[@sinane.y]

Jeff Beck...

[@kma5699]

I was going to say Jeff Beck too. Only thing is Jeff Beck does the stuff like this guy is doing but on a standard non-locking vintage strat style trem

[@sinane.y]

Yeah but he also has roller nut which helps with keeping the guitar in tune. However, I remember reading about someone (it might have been Keith Richards) picking up Beck's guitar after a show and saying how it was horribly out of tune. Then Beck picks it, and plays perfectly in tune. Apparently for this guy the frets are not a limit, he can find the right notes by bending and using the trem. Impressive to say the least.

[@maxmustardman298]

@@sinane.y yeah but jeff has no floyd hehe

[@sinane.y]

@@maxmustardman298 True, I was putting it in the same basket as all tremolo bars

[@themaggot8]

Mattias has such a unique style of playing. He can make squeals so easily. BTW, I'm so getting this amp. Satchel convinced me to.

[@DeadShred9]

I have had this Amp since OCT. 2018 and its versatility is without equal for the price . From Slayer and Exodus to Winger and Def Leppard !! Your Imagination is its limit ... I have 30 + yrs experience and this is by far the best small practice amp I have used . If you mic it properly it will gig just fine !

[@vr6golfarn]

" somewhere in Gothenburg" Resturant 2112 , the pub that Björn and Peter from In Flames own :)

[@svelle37]

albert elbet I was browsing through the comments just looking for someone mentioning this :D

[@vr6golfarn]

svelle Then atleast i did something good :)

[@juancpgo]

I'd love a G3 with Mattias, Vai and Greg Howe. I just love their styles and sounds. The three of them play really perfect, every note counts.

[@TheAgentAssassin]

really liking this playing

[@ChuckNorrisCutsMyLaw]

As soon as I saw the 2112 on the shelf by the wine glasses I knew I was going to like this video. Well I was wrong I didn't like it, I loved it. I just ordered a THR10X.

[@kisaposti]

that first note is so beautifully struck.

[@daniels3960]

what a beautiful guitar.

[@poiboi808]

His solo is so hot it melted his frets!

[@justinelliott7136]

One word, SUPERB! An immense player, full of melodies and expression and no annoying facial expressions :) Only one player in the world like him and that's IA himself.

[@FabrizioPeretti]

THOSE HARMONICS O.O

[@ritsmond]

fabrizio peretti They are really easy to get on the Applehorns. I recently got one ;-) I imagine it has to do with the THICK walnut top...

[@RyanLongP]

Wow, what a great tune!

[@MrArchie800]

Very clean and precise - well impressed!

[@digiv3225]

amazing tune. getting this little amp tomorrow

[@z1g]

Well that is one way to sell an amp =) Worked for me anyway.

[@wesleyp47]

Mr. Eklundh-YOU ROCK!

[@a1988ditya]

bloody insane man ... love ur playing

[@agavalence]

Such an amazing and unique player.

[@x-Gingerbeard-x]

I went to one of his clinics here in The Netherlands. Really nice dude and his playing is just so unique and awesome! Lovely little amp this is btw!

[@aryinc]

awesome product by yamaha. it has everything you might need on the go.

[@muse_xo]

nice playing man! very cool sound

[@andre.1984]

This guy's playing is insane.

[@davidrobinsonmagic]

I played one of these at guitar center and have to say, I was amazed! I am getting one :)

[@woolgum]

I’m impressed!

[@danaeverhart6487]

The same guy that frets Steve Vai's guitars had a crack at this one too! Perfect intonation anywhere on the fret board!

[@frankie.d1127]

Awesome awesome music!!!!

[@Julie-jq1sy]

Wow , very creative guitar player. Love this playing style. I don't know if this is intentional, but off an on, in many little areas of his playing I hear some Joe Satriani at times and a little Steve Via here and there. Maybe it's the way his fretting fingers softly attack the strings. Saucy playing. Much enjoyed. And also that Yamaha little amp, I'm getting hooked on it. I have heard the distortion side and it sounds great for being so small. Thanks so much for the upload. Very helpful. Also how much is the amp ??

[@guitar9874]

very nice guitar and bad ass amp THRX

[@dangusforrester8855]

Mattias, like most great musicians, never get the respect they deserve and it's starting to piss me off!

[@KurayameDark]

he know very well how to use his floyd rose. This sounds good

[@danaeverhart6487]

Just awesome

[@volneipacheco]

Cool Sound.

[@tkgtomino666]

amazing!

[@user-uh9zr5ww8w]

Incredible！

Master!!!

[@cast390]

This guy is like a cross between Satch/Govan/and Vai

[@terrormonkey1]

cast390 yeah.... fucking boring isnt it?!!

[@nickfanzo]

+terrormonkey1 yes

[@terrormonkey1]

bollocks! hes just wanking off musically... have u heard the thr10x's..?!! this is just about the WORST tone i have heard coming from one!!! his playing has less soul than lindsey lohan's eyes!!*****

[@terrormonkey1]

***** no. just a guitarist

[@terrormonkey1]

***** DUDE.... I COULD PLAY THE DROSS HE IS PLAYING HERE...ANY FUCKING DAY OF THE WEEK.

[@headkickko609]

I never knew someone can be so good on the piano 😜

[@liamtahaney713]

Wow that is amazing playing. Great to hear floyd for more than the sake of floyd

[@RasCuban33]

Come on, lmao!!!!!! Such a sound out of such a tiny box, Yamaha must be raking it in with these. First thing I thought right off the bat what wow, nails Satriani's sound and I have a JVM410JHS. What's great about this is the ports and the USB stereo tracking ability, plus your not going to piss the neighbors. Awesome playing, shockwave supernova should sound great on this. Any info on a link for the backing track for this demo? Going to the store tomorrow and getting this, thanks Yamaha

[@magentamagica13]

I love it

[@xSijnx]

I like the part when he played the guitar.

[@Mordred478]

xSijnx A man with my sense of humor. At last. 😊

[@THERAMMSTEINFAN490]

I liked the rest as well tbh

[@tboner1001]

can you use the headphone jack to an input of a power amp , to a cab , would that disable the speakers on the thr unit and use the power amp and cab for the power section and speakers ?

[@mjones53]

wow any way to share that setting, getting the amp next week

[@696kir]

Божественно :)

[@tmarks]

MATTIAS IA GENIUS

Holy Shit!! The word needs to get out on this guy!!

[@AZIARGROUS]

I love him, fuck stereotypes about how you should use a guitar, just live music

I do not care the amp but the guitar player is amazing!

That's how you demo a amp... Mattias Rules!! -

[@kiryllarchanka]

great!!!

[@therockson2]

Good to see a Swede try it out, I love the sound!

[@PovHemant]

I desperately need this mini amp.

[@killerhit00]

How do these guys get their strings so close to the fretboard ?

[@The1stMrJohn]

RuspurSaysGrrrr I'd love to have one of those guitars, or any true temperament fretted guitar, like Denander's VGS... or even Holdsworths Strandberg. I have always hated the fact that guitars can never be in tune ,...... ... until now, but retailers just don't seem to stock them in my country! especially Strandbergs! [I'm in England] and to top it all my legs don't work so getting about internationally is extremely difficult.

[@OOHMIB]

Can you get a good Black Sabbath riff tone out of these small amps???

[@rabenson000]

From what I hear he mostly uses the caparison stock pickups PH-R for bridge and SH27F for neck. In this video the bridge pickup looks like a Dimarzio Crunchlab or a D Sonic I don't know for sure.

[@omarlopez8981]

Hi my friend, please could you explain what kinds of scales are using to get this sound. Thanks.

[@Dicksaiter]

Google his videos about harmonics

[@omarlopez8981]

Fantastic

[@MrJlagune]

Matthias your the boss

[@Furui93Shin]

Sorry Yamaha, I came here to hear Mattias only :D.

[@tuulenkoti]

Is he going straight into the amp? it sounds like hes using his amt fatal tube pedal.

[@LowEndStrings]

Were Peter and Björn there as well?

[@christopherdavis8248]

what type of pickups does he use?

[@PingCrosby1]

[@woolgum]

Did you write the music to Rad Gravity? :)

[@leeanucha]

wow!

[@randomguitarnote8887]

I can hear the Jeff Beck influence

[@foreigner2017]

I kinda hear Leo Fender and bunch of other guys influence too.

[@sandrosadhukhan]

@@foreigner2017 leo fender? When did he ever play?

[@Weaver0x00]

what is this song? is it in any of his albums?

[@lorenzogiulietti6897]

2112!! In Flames :D

[@giancarlo_c_music]

You have a thing for the whammy right?

[@mohi2973]

Any one know what dimarzio pickups he is using in this video?

[@currerbell-eyre606]

Mohi29 CrunchLab in the bridge and my guess is a Hot Rails in the neck. Could be a Choppa or a Moe Joe. Not sure.

[@Jaydenwybenga]

+Thad White super late reply but he uses the d sonic

[@paulsayce1432]

Yeah, but wots it sound like wen u play something?

[@willgibsonguitar]

What are those frets called? its like set further back but only on 1 string

[@gitarmats]

They're called "true temperament frets". You can probably find a video of him explaining their properties if you search for it on KZbin.

[@fuzzymuppet1990]

re crowning those gotta be a bitch

[@I1Duboff]

All correct

[@RudyLange]

What song is he playing? It's lovely

[@RaineVinyayaa]

+Rudy de Lange In the Goo of the Evening!

Is this recorded at the In Flames dudes restaurant in Gothenburg?

Yes! 2112, I noticed the board in the back too haha.

Nice :) :) :)

Now, imagine using a slide in your fingers with this skills with the FloydRose...

[@fredrikpihl]

I know Mattias has recently joined the DiMarzio family, I believe he is using the D Sonic and chopper in his guitars.

Me too!!!!!

[@richardrdenisii]

it's the future

[@TheKoKoCola]

Sitter å lirar på 2112. Så himla rätt!!

[@TheDogPa]

Jamming on mine right now. Wish he showed the settings! This thing does certain things...like this...real well. Hard to get it right jamming with stuff, how shall I say, less balls to the walls? You can get great solo stuff. It seems to force you to the designed algo no matter how you tweak it. I needed a box in front for single coils (multibucker) and after about a dozen I settled on my favorite...metal muff. In the studio next to real stuff costing several thou. you can't compare, but in the park watching the dog run around and jamming with an mp3 player...all on batteries? Just nothing better for that I know of! Oh...I want those fretts!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RasCuban33]

+TheDogpa At 1:04 you can kinda see from the reverb all the way to the gain knob, treb mid & bass are all at 12o'clock, master vol is a little passed 3o'clock and you can slightly see fading out the gain is at about 1 or 2o'clock. Going to have to play with the amp model setting. The trickiest thing is getting all those harmonics out, on his site he describes how to manipulate bending the tremolo bar in order to sustain the harmonics, also finding them all on every string across the fret board. He's keeping me busy, lol Nuff Respect Mattias IA Eklundh!!!!!! Yes, those frets are bad ass

[@gcragg11]

hummm i thought this was a head .. but hes got it miked.? must be some small 4 in speakers...but sounds good

[@shoominati23]

Well at least someone out here in youtube land can show it doesnt have to be an all out balls to the wall gain monster amp. I bought it because I preferred the sound of it compared to the 10 or the 10c, not because I wanted a djent machine. I actually detest the sound of EMG 81 bridge pickups. their alnico ones are alright though. A good trick is if you get a guitar with an 81 and an 85, buy a 60A, put that in the neck and swap the 85 to the bridge. and sell the 81 on craigslist to recoup some of your money.

[@JacobGordonOfficial]

Or you could not waste your money on EMG

[@metaldreams3595]

Im such a metal head I usually only like metal demos for amps but this dudes really creative in his sometimes simplicity other times very technical. Gotta have simplicity or like the asshole says in the movie Amadeus, Too many notes! I digress, Im buying this amp tmrw!

[@JacobblerMusic]

What kind of guitar is that?

[@ConnorFGuitar]

+Jacob Martin His signature Caparison Apple Horn, with True Temperament frets
