Here is a quick lesson on the main riff to the song "Snow (Hey Oh) by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I break down the chords used, picking technique, and how to play along with a metronome. Enjoy!
Epiphone G-400 Exclusive Deluxe PRO Review/Demo
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 5 lety
Got a brand new Epiphone G-400 Exclusive Deluxe Pro with a Honeyburst finish. Lets take a look at this guitar and see how it plays!
Hope you still have that guitar..it's become a collector the honey burst color is hard to find..I bought mine last year off Reverb paid $650.00 for it..and well worth it
Been searching for this Sg in honey burst for three years
That second variation of the f sharp major where you have to barre and trill while barring is difficult. I have to rotate my barring finger a little to be able to play this and remember it always being muted when i first started playing this.
The clean in the beginning sounded horrendous dude ... Made me look for another guitar. But was that the actual guitar, or perhaps an amp, or YOU?! 😅
I mean if you're looking for straty clean tones you should indeed look for another guitar. EMG81 and 85 can work for clean but are mostly suited for very overdriven tones.
What gauge strings are on it in video? D'Addario 10-42? 11-42? New strings put on that day changed and tuned 1 string at time? Since many say taking all strings off, removing all 100-115lbs + depending on gauge screws up strings staying in tune for days. What are pickups Epiphone classic pro alnico 5?
Nice vid man! The right rhythm really play s a big role in achieving that spicy fell.i can switch , alter pick those chord kinda "effortlessish"now 😅.but it just hard to get that wavy some sound,I just sound robotic .And BTW,I use jag too! How you mod your jag switches like that.its really dope 👍👍
Where was your made?
1000 series are all made in Korea I do believe
@@drowendinafterbirth5662 my 1000 was made in Indonesia.
@@metalmeister3054 I've owned 4 of them all from Korea even my two signatures were from Korea crazy
More lessons please!
Any requests?
@@mksguitars7617 Hmm.... If its ok with you I can try suggesting some for lessons (maybe 3). Touche from Godsmack (there are some YT attempts but not a satisfactory, truthful to the album covers), You did a real nice sounding Symphony of Destruction from Megadeth (if you could do all parts better), and Get thru this from Art of Dying (if you could do Acoustic then Electric versions better); Drop B tuning. I know you can explain the elements of the song better than most...
Nice demo brother , just got this 2 days ago and after some tweaking with the action it sounds great! I also have the cheaper version SG special and honestly the thing was a shit show as far as set-up. Had to replace the tuners immediately , they wouldn't hold tune at all. Anyways what a difference $250 makes on QC. I listed the special on craigslist , after receiving the 400 pro delux i have no use for the cheap one...
im learning this one right now but im definitely not up to the right speed which makes it sounds nothing alike lol. ill get there tho. I just need to practice more. great video!
Thanks! Practice makes perfect! Keep at it and you’ll be playing it at full speed in no time!
Good review and nice riffs of cob RIP alexi laiho
Thanks man! And yeah RIP Alexi.
Thanks for this
One of the few people that seem to play opening to Thunderstruck correctly (ie *not* on the fret board)
Yes, a difficult guitar riff acknowledged by all. According to @Paul David’s the bpm is around 104 to 108, fast in 4/4 time with 2nd and 4th beats accented, triplet semiquavers followed by three semiquavers ! This gives the piece a nice percussive, syncopated backbeat 👍. That’s 5 notes in a single beat. STRICT ALTERNATE PICKING , D, U, D, U etc is the only way to pull it off with a very relaxed right hand wrist action. Otherwise it all goes out of time. You play D, D, D and then Up which makes it more difficult 🤔😢Did you get up to speed with your picking?🤔
I still play it D,D,D up and after about a year of practice I can play it full speed. Definitely made it more difficult for myself but I got so used to playing it that way it became muscle memory.
The dog tho 🥺
I play Epiphones because of their exceptional quality and legendary history and history with Les Paul
Thanks for this man! Awesome playing and great review!
Thanks for the tutorial
The alternate version for the chord really helped
Good Job..One of My favorite Songs !
I can build guitars, But I can't play this:( ......I love this Song
Beautiful guitar! Gold hardware *-*
I have the red one there so amazing
hi. Would anyone know if this will give a single coil sound by using the coil split/tap? Ta.
cool video i have one, i love it !!!
A scarf joint ar neck makes it stronger and doesn't affect resonance. But not all guitars, even gibson , don't resonate well. The one that do are great guitars.
Great video on this guitar. Would love to see a video on how to set them up!!
Mine was Crafted in June 2019 I have the CTS electronics and the Top hat Knobs have Metal inlays I would say that's when Epiphone started to make the changes that lead up to the 2020 releases I also have a 2004 Gibson Standard the Epiphone is every bit its equal
Do you have a video on how to set the guitar up?
In the vid it looks like not one piece, but a mahogany veneer on the back, as it doesn't appear to match the bevels...that could be camera perspective though, but I have seen this to be evident on some other G400s.
ive got the 400 pro 66 re issue..its great
That guitar is beautiful. I'm so close to pulling the trigger on one of them. Thanks for the review!
The binding on the frets is better than my Gibson 😅
Thanks for posting lovely guitar and great playing.
Great video!
Good review. Was looking at one in transparent blue
It's not a one-piece body, it's a veneer bottom so that it looks like a one-piece, just like the maple flamed one on top.
the blue version looks cool - shame about the old-fashioned tulips tho. ;)
They are the same pickups as the Gibson's
No Gibson has that exact pick-ups.
@@likemikehd3560 well shit for brains I just read his comment and he never said they were Gibson humbuckers....the truth is the Epiphone Alnico vintage classic Pro and the Epiphone pro buckers are exactly like the Gibson 57 and 59 humbuckers...and highly desirable
@@likemikehd3560 he said they are the same As the Gibson's not they are Gibson's and the truth is both Epiphone vintage Alnico classic Pro and Epiphone pro buckers are the same PAF humbuckers as the Gibson's the difference their made by Epiphone they have the same wiring and wired the same way
Subbed! Also, I was on the edge about buying one of these, but you’ve just convinced me. Lol.
Thanks! I've never seen a scarf joint at the heel before.
Thanks for the review! I’m looking at this guitar in Blue & wondered what it sounded like
No problem Mike! They are pretty sweet guitars I was very impressed.
Thanks for the review I've been looking at the blue one and now I'm convinced that I should buy it
