I don't like the neck of SG. It is kind of D shape which is not good for my hand. I wish it would be more like in Les Paul's. I thinks also that it is more hard to find good pickups for SG than for Les Paul.
you guys didnt do bird sounds so it's not "every sound"
2:22 tatúatelo!!! jajaaj… Ya en serio, buen video
I've been playing SGs for many years and I have not discovered any kind of music that I cannot credibly play on it. I have a LP single-cut as well and it's great, but my SG is its own wonderful thing, and I love it.
Lovely!!! What is the brand of the double distortion pedal with the Viking figure? CHEERS!!! ????
What no DOOM? No Iommi?
I love mine. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as i do. In a way it was disappointing because I've never owned an sg before this one and im 52 ive been playing over 40 years and if i would have bought an sg before now i would have had alot more years with a great guitar. Any time i had enough money to buy an sg i bought les pauls because I've always been crazy about les pauls.
Here’s the deal. The SG is lighter than most any other guitar model, and Les Expensive than its more notorious stablemate. Which is why it sells more units than the Les Paul.
i hwas hoping for a jazzy tones… I love clean sound on SG
My first guitar was a 1970 SG Junior with only a neck pup from the factory. Got it in 76.
Still have it and still play it but I pulled the frets because I only play slide. NOTHING like it!
It was used in Blues first. Sister Rosetta Tharp played one in 64'
How you gunna have a Vibrola then shake the guitar instead ????
Awesome Tenacious D nod 13:33
Can't beat the feel of an SG! It's like holding a woman!
The Tele and SG are the most versatile guitars ever made.
I bought a Tokai SG a couple of years ago. I’m having weekly lessons and my teacher is very much taking me down the jazz route. He is constantly amazed at the tones that come from the SG. I’m very happy with her!!
the guy on the right is not into this he looks bored and not interested
I am blessed to own a custom shop 1964 VOS Standard, and it is one fabulous guitar.
SG ❤
i have a Gibson SG short neck bass guitar and i really like it
61 gibson is just something else
What is the song he plays with the side ?? Is it just improv because it’s so damn good
Got a Guild Polara Deluxe recently. It's quickly become one of my favourite guitars – slightly edging out my 335. Especially, like you said, with vintage Marshall JTM. And does sound good with most pedals … or even no pedals at all. Much like the Marshall JTM. With both the JTM and Polara, I think the Boss BD-2W is my favourite pedal, because it just pushed more amp like gain. Plumes is nice in that middle boost mode too, for similar reasons. Maybe MXR Timmy and Hot Tubes can sound a little muddy on higher gains, but that's just the nature of humbuckers. 335 is even more so. It sounds extremely thick and heavy with a Muff and/or Turbo RAT for those Sunn O))) like tones too – a thick midrange wall capped with crackling electricity.
I want to see jazz on an Explorer!
So it’s not the guitar but the effects pedals that gives you the sound?
Please, take a look to Judith Hill in Rockpalast 2022: singing and playing a Gibson SG: Funk, Blues and Rock✊????
All I need is my Gibson SG and Marshall Half stack . Gets the job done
Just bought one three years ago,the standard.my ninth one. I am over 70. In the seventies they were always getting stolen.In my life i have owned every fender except the jazz master.had three strats.I prefer a flat fretboard that Gibson seems to have.l really like all guitars.They are like guns, a dfferent tool for a different sound.I saw your pedals. Do you have a guitar tech? It looks like a rocket contol at nasa.how many batteries do you need? My god, if I needed that much junk to play, I would never started playing. Im like bloomfield,just plug the damn thing in and l can get any sound you can get with your control board.I have a les paul custom a 1981 which l traded a 345 gibson stereo. I prefer the sg in every way! I started guitar when l was ten. Got my first electric a stat when l was 12.. l will play till l check out.
We want you to know exactly how this guitar sounds, so we will run it through 16 different pedals, and then process it with this computer program and we will expand it and compress it and flip it over and mic it up. Then you will know exactly how the guitar sounds. (Tongue in cheek).
I get every tone with my 2021 epiphone modern figured Sgs I don't need a Gibson to achieve that or do I want a Gibson
Refreshing. I hate how many demos use clichéd stereotypical music for certain guitars or amps just because they are associated with this or that celebrity. Trying to find demos for Rickenbackers that play anything other than Beatles songs, or for SGs that play anything but Angus riffs is annoying, as are the people in the comments who get outraged if you do not play the clichéd stuff.
Playing a cherished 56 Strat since 94. wore out the frets AGAIN
Always loved Angus tone so…..on a test whim.
I buy a used Epiphone SG with nice gig bag for $125
Now for past 6 months the Strat sits in the closet!
I Love this tiny light Maylasian made cheapie.
You should hear it thru a 64 Fender Vibroverb with the orihinal 15" JBL! WOW shorter scale trips me up a bit but its easier for short fingered guys like me.
WICKED COOL VIDEO, SG'S DON'T GET ENOUGH PLAY, VERY UNDERRATED. MY ABSOLUTE FAVERATE GUITAR. GREAT SOUND, LOOKS, AND ABILITY TO PERFORM JUST ABOUT EVERY STYLE IN THE BOOK. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET MY GRANDSON A " CAPITAN " KIRK DOUGLAS SIGNATURE SG LAST YEAR/WITH A MESA BOOGIE MARK V 35. KILLER SOUND. STAY COOL GUYS…PEACE…
