tone tip nr 1 is…. use your face while playing
????????
Awesome bro thank you
Sound advice from one of the undisputed kings of tone… and awesomeness ???????? Thank you
This gentleman has an intelligence and vocabulary far above his peers, many of which are incapable of stringing two sentences together without spewing immature disgusting filth.
Awesome info…and frustrating lol! I play so differently and tried to play using his methods and I suck
You are definitely a throwback to the past. Sometimes simple is better. The hands are the key to great players. So true. Glad to see you carry on the tradition of players like Leslie West.
Awesome player, period!
For me, the type of g-string I'm wearing deeply affects my tone. It will dictate my amount of booty shakin' and, inherently, my tone and phrasing.
I wish him to get out good. There are many people who get money with guitars, strings, amps, and so on… i wish him he can go his own way.
Can’t understand why Gibson won’t throw on a set neck with Gibson headstock and call it a day. If I’m buying a signature model I don’t want it to be an epiphone when for an extra month of saving up I can get a Gibson!! Because well bottom line is it’s a Gibson and Gibson’s are the cool! Yet they insist on releasing signatures as epiphones.
I love the fact that Jared's n⁰ 1 guitar is a $699 epiphone, and his n⁰ 2 is a real deal '53 les paul
was expecting you to do american women at some point..you had that kneck tone with just rolling that dial..cheers man enjoyed your video
I wish he would have talked about why he uses a 250k volume pot and whether or not it has a treble bypass capacitor.
4:38 Many people sound like crap when using this kind of muffled tone, almost like their guitar is out of tune or poorly intonated. Jared is not one of those people.
99% Of that tone is coming from the mustache!
Awesome guy, awesome player. Almost got to meet him in Amsterdam at a workshop, but Corona happened and all gigs and events got cancelled ????. Hope to see him live some day!
Awesome advise Jared!
Him: "All tone is in hands."
Me: "What amp you using mate?"
Can't get over how goofy you are
Amen brother ????????
I'm gonna need a followup video on dental tips- JJN rockin some impressive chompers my man!
Single pickup and good touch! That's they way to do it, my friend! Thanks for having Jared on.
Awesome tips from an awesome player, thanks for a great video! I had been playing guitar for many, many years before I started using my tone knob and I agree… it's actually a great way to tweak your tone and get some really great sounds out of your guitar without needing additional gear.
All you said about I made the same expierences over 50 years of playing guitar. Now my favorite guitar is a Vandenberg 1 with one Dommenget Motherbucker 20 kohm pickup, 1 volume, 1 tone and 10 t0 46 strings, perhaps 9.5 to 44. Thanks and good luck /health!
why not just have a neck pickup as well if you want a neck pickup sound? It doesn't make any sense not to have one.
Good demo, nice epi!!
Thanks man????????????????. You also have to feel and play it. Then you can also use effects. Thank you.???????????? Greetings from Germany and The Cute Urchins. All the best wishes. ????????????
Great video,a reminder even for the older guys ..
I think 90% of sound comes from equipment. That little 10% is what sets players apart.
ToNe Is iN tHe FiNGerS picks nose
Technique and style are in the hands. Stevie sounds like stevie, because he plays like Stevie..
How come you guys don't have Jared's signature lp jnr
Hey Jared,
I’m new to your channel (I subscribed!). Love your tips on tone. For sure…it’s all in the hands! One question: Were you influenced by Ted Nugent? I see and hear that Ted “snarl” and feel in your playing ????
Peace
thank you to be so open honest
Oh man you are so right ! Your tips are so helpfull ! The Clapton woman tone is the perfect example on is Firebird !!!! By the way your guitar sounds great !!!
