You are literally the BEST! Hardest working guitarist I know and damn does that hard work pay off. I love that you just know what I want before I even know what I want. X
Hi Mary! Can't wait to hear the new music!
Same here. That last track sounded massive!
The last track is beautiful Mary
Love what both you and Rhett do Mary. You both play very soulfully and have a great tone as well.
Mary what's the name of the last song that Rhett is working on in the vid?
Yes, please do the in depth tutorial on how to record guitar.
Chord TheSeeker I second this... about to do some recording myself
+1
+1
+10000
I'm looking forward to this as well. But don't forget to check out Rick Beato's channel for a bunch of amazing videos on the very subject. I'm sure Rhett will highly recommend them as well, especially seeing as he got his start as an engineer there.
Not disparaging Rhett in any way though, he has his own approach when you get into the details. Like anyone who becomes great at something, it's because they put their own personal touch on all they do. But this is how you become great as well, learning different things from other artists, then using the bits that work best for you.
Man, this is just awesome. I need to up my video production and awesome playing dude.
Thanks dude!!
And you did up your production Rob!
Screwing up on the first chord is an absolute *MUST*
That Hell or High Water song is a hit. Great song. Can't wait to have it on an album.
Same
I thought the same thing when I first heard that chorus
Yes, it was a number one hit for T.Graham Brown twenty some years ago.....jeez...
@@SteveSchuffert - This one guitarist I worked with for a long time used to say to me, "ya gotta know yer Roots - if ya don't know where the song came from ya won't know where it's going - YA GOTTA KNOW YER ROOTS"! Here we have the classic example of that!
Anthony Graham Brown (born October 30, 1954), known professionally as T. Graham Brown, is an American country music singer. Active since 1973, Brown has recorded a total of thirteen studio albums, and has charted more than twenty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Three of these singles - "Hell and High Water" and "Don't Go to Strangers" from 1986, and "Darlene" from 1988 - reached Number One, and eight more reached Top Ten.
Wait, recording the "old school way?" I figured you'd have pulled an old Tascam 4 track.
Yeah, I was waiting to see what "the old school way" was. Does he mean setting up mics in front of a real amp is considered old school now? Still using a daw, still recording in pieces rather than full length, etc. I don't see that tape machine spinning in the background.
Beat me to it. I was thinking "he's got tape" until he said 'pro tools' and it was like "Old school like early 00s?" Nonetheless, the video was interesting for the recording process he used.
Ahh, good one!
I'd love to see actual tape recording become popular again. I learned engineering during the switch from tape to daw, and I have to say, analog tape is far superior quality. The reason being that sound to tape has real curves, and digital is all 1's and 0's. No matter how small those 1's and 0's become, the sound is always more like a stairway than a ramp. So the actual sound itself of digital is less realistic, even though it's likely cleaner, and certainly worlds easier and faster.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 Actually it is a little more popular than I thought, people are actually recording vinyl, which is sweet!
Hot damn!!
These songs are *solid*. Can't wait to hear them released! Really nice guitar work!
I did my first guitar recording on a Teac 2 track sound-on-sound reel-to-reel machine. I think that was in the late 70's or early 80's. Somewhere in the mid 80's I rented a Fostex X-15 cassette 4 track multi-track recorder, and I was in very high cotton indeed. Now I have so many ways of recording, mixing, and mastering...it boggles my little brain.
The story of how Bruce Springsteen's 'Nebraska' album was mastered from a Tascam Potastudio is legendary, but the story of how the producers and engineers performed that miracle is the real story.
They had to innovate, and work like dogs. It's a great example of never giving up.
I'm old and retired now. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and I'm losing my hearing. I never had the talent to make anything in the music business, or as a guitar player. I think I can write a decent song, but who knows? Still, I do enjoy music, and the creative process that produces it. I admire folks like you and Rick Beato that paid your dues and just kept pounding away at something that you both love.
For every annoying pop star, there are thousands of working musicians that will probably never get rich or very famous. They do what they do for the love of music, and the compulsion that goes with that.
Stay strong, and the very best of luck and health to all of you guys.
Thank you Rhett...I do believe you just might have the best "real world" guitar channel on the YT. I have been playing live since the mid 1960's and you inspire the hell out of me! I am in my 70's and I learn something I can use every time I watch one of your vlogs. Thanks so much and I wish you success in the music business. It can be a hard road but it is so worth it! And yes...I still gig live today!
Thanks Bob!
That’s awesome! I speak on behalf of my band in saying that you inspire us. Keep well, man
I’m sure others have already chimed in, but yes please to the recording tutorial. Always good to see techniques like that.
Secondary to that a run down of the tech stack you’re running would be killer too.
Man that slide part you were working on sounded TASTY
Yea, I especially liked the beginning where he was playing fretted chords interspersed with slide parts.
Rhett!!! BRO! LOVE this style content! So cool to see this part of your work. Thanks dude!
This was so relaxing to watch and listen to. The guitars truly sound mesmerizing, excellent job!
What a great service you are to thousands of would be artist who dont know what they're in for. If only the general listening public truly understood what it takes to complete a single song from start to finish. Its blood sweat and, many times tears. Not to mention disappointment at times when, for a multitude of reasons, 40 redo's over several hours, just to get a 10 second punch in done right. Mistakes aren't failures. Each one gets you closer to success. You're a blessing to us Rhett.
Kurtiss.
Finally gonna be able to shout along to “Hell or High Water” while blasting it in the car
Been following your channel for a few months now... love it man. Great stuff! Excited to hear the final product for these tracks!
I've noticed that having a room mic makes the difference between a good and not so good recording of an electric guitar.
Yes, make a recording video
Though, in a pinch, you can always send your close mics pre-fader to a reverb bus for an artificial room sound. Of course, it’s not as good as the real thing, but it certainly gets the job done well enough.
Rhett, your videos are always a blast to watch. High quality and very interesting. Keep it up, I love em.
You deserve every great thing that comes your way, Rhett. Thanks for sharing you journey. You are a musical inspiration.
Supernice fills on "Wait For Me". That chord change during your fadeout really got me. Everything else was generally awesome.
Beautiful - and you made it all look so easy. Very inspiring!
Man, I love these "over the shoulder" videos! Witnessing the creative process can be so inspiring. You've got a lot of great stuff to work with there. Can't wait to hear it all mixed down!
I really enjoyed how good your playing complemented the songs and enhanced the musical idea behind them. Nice textures, grooves and melody lines. It's always a fine line between doing too much and not enough, especially on the guitar side of things, but you chose your parts and sounds very delicately. Keep on rocking brother!
This is why I love this channel. Nobody shows or talks about the process of creating guitar parts nearly enough. Awesome stuff!
Fantastic video, Rhett! Behind the scenes and process videos for song writing and recording are always interesting, but hearing your build your overdubs into each song was very cool! Keep up the good work!
Definitely my favorite video of yours yet! So cool seeing your process.
Great STUFF MAN!! Makes me inspired to get back to writing and recording!! THANKS!
Really solid parts, love it! Thanks for showing us how it's done :)
Sounds awesome Rhett, love your playing! Thanks for sharing.
Thank's Rhett, Thank you Mary and Noah for letting us hear your great songs. Neat to see the layers that make up the music. Jeff in LA USA
Man, watching you do your thing helps me tap into mine. You teach how to record through disposition and energy. These are things that cannot be scribed into tab or taught at a music class. Thank for the window into that world.
Another great insight video, thanks for the quality work you do Rhett. I really like the guitar line shadowing the vocal melody on the last Mary song, that really works.
That is probably the best, most educational guitar recording video ever...at least as far as I'm concerned. Seeing the creative process you use demoed like this helps me immensely with my own projects. Thank you!
It’s so fun to watch this now, after listening to these songs 100s of times. Love seeing the process!
I like these songs so much. Cant wait for them to come out!!!
Bro I’ve been musically stuck not having the motivation to learn more or just pick up my guitars often for the past 2 years but your videos have motivated me to do so. Learning more the tech stuff behind playing in like amps and stuff. I’m hooked on your channel man!!
What amazes me about Rhett's playing is the way the sounds he uses and the way he plays fit the song so well. Sounds that I might think are too out there on their own suddenly make perfect sense in the track. It follows the idea of play to the song. So cool.
Thanks for sharing your process for recording guitar. Very helpful Rhett...
Watching you create...those are the best videos. Awesome job!
I don't know how youtube is recommending videos, but I've seen Rhett's for a while now, older and new ones, and I have to say, he's quickly become the musician I admire the most on this plattform. Rhett I love what you're doing. I know you guys know each other and I also love Mary and Adam and Rick and Samurai, but you are truly amazing. (Sorry, english isn't my native language.)
Not only are your videos incredibly good - never forcing your viewers to believe (in) something or to understand anything, it's all smooth we can live through the emotional process with you, but also you seem the most intuitive and commited musician and that's so refreshing and inspirational. Also if any of your friends ask you to do something for them, you're always a 100% there, and afterwards you thank them for inviting you, that's so loving.
Thanks for sharing the journey with us Rhett - enjoy seeing what life is like for someone taking the road less traveled and one that I often wonder what if I had taken that direction as well.
Just found this. Great stuff Rhett, love the melodic choices and how you stay out of the way while adding to overall song, my wheelhouse when I'm on.
Classy playing, and great tones! While not all totally my speed, the only bad music is the music not made. Friends playing friends’ music is a beautiful thing. Thank you for sharing it with us!
grat video man, those harmonies at the end with the vocal sounded really good! Love your channel
Great video man! It’s cool to see your process and workflow for getting your ideas under your fingers. Great tones too 👌🏻👌🏻
Sounds killer Rhett, +1 for an in depth tutorial on how you record guitars!
Nicely done! I especially love the outro when you were doubling Mary's vocals. That was perfect.
Great video Rhett! I’d love to see a more in depth look at how you manage your guitar takes when testing out different ideas, and how you bring it all together in the end. Keep up the great work!
Good job Rhett! Happy for you.
Man, I just really dig your videos. They get me jazzed up just to go play guitar. Thanks!
You added so much to the songs with the guitars. Sounds awesome.
Great people doing great things! Thanks for bringing us along.
Great stuff Rhett - love what you're doing and love that you focus on playing tastefully and musically instead of shreddy nonsense. Thanks for sharing your work flow and approach!
I agree with all, except that _"shreddy nonsense"_ has it's place sometimes.
I learned to play classic rock and blues as a kid, then as a teenager started learning to play fusion and ended up in a thrash metal band, due mostly to living in the midst of that scenes birth in Oakalnd, but from there I learned to play shreddy nonsense as well. I took it seriously and began by transcribing Bach and Pagannini violin solos. But at the same time I was still a huge fan of Angus, Steve Cropper, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dave Gilmour, Robert Johnson, Doc Watson and etc, along with Steve Vai, Alan Holdsworth, Steve Morse, Uli Roth, and etc.
But this was in the 80's and the popular thing to say was that it's crap if you can't shred. I kept trying to tell people this was absurd and that art is not a race.
Then came the 90's and people started saying the same thing, only they said if it's fast or even a tiny bit complex, it's crap. Art is also not a race to see who can do what's popular atm. That's every bit as absurd.
I use both overplayed shreddy nonsense and underplayed non-shreddy nonsense when it suits me and the situation. I even sometimes don't play at all if that's what is called for (honestly I could probably do this more often, lols). Regardless, less is not more. But more is not automatically better.
But confidence is king. So if you want to be great yourself: do your thing and don't disparage others for doing theirs.
You'd think the "I like what I like and everything else sucks" attitude would fade when you become an adult. Maybe not for everyone I guess. Remember that the next time someone tells you you're music blows. No one will ever place value on your opinion or what you say if you exist with that one track mind. Or at least learn to zip it.
Yipe! Hey guys...relax...I didn't mean any disrespect or insult. My apologies for missing the mark on trying to convey my sincere appreciation for Rhett's tasteful, musical approach of serving the song rather than showcasing his own great techniques - he demonstrated professionalism, humility and his stellar musical sensibilities. I love all musical styles including all styles of shred guitar and have big respect for the countless musicians out there making music and taking a chance.
Great work. Thanks for sharing your process. Lot of good stuff in there.
Amazing tones! And really classy playing. Served the songs perfectly. Tasty work!
Great tones man!
such a well made video !! good job and keep them coming.
When you said you screwed up the first chord, just reminds me of most of my recording sessions. You practice what you’re gonna record and that VERY first take, it’s like wut. Haha.
You deserve a million subscribers❤
Quite inspirational. I opened up an old project that went nowhere after seeing this and i was able to get it a new life just by changing my work flow to something similar to this
Rhett, it's great watching (listening) to you work.
Awesome video! And awesome tracks!! 🤘🏽Extremely insightful video too! I Would love to see more videos on recording guitar parts, song writing, and the creative process in general? And thank you Rhett! 🤓🤘🏽⚡️🎸🎛📻🎤🎙📽
Dude, you rocked it - this is why I love your channel. Thanks for sharing
IMO this is your best video so far. I LOVE the creation of music.
Wonderful guitar work!
Thanks for sharing Rhett! This is the content that helps inspire to just press record.
Great work! Thx so much
That Hell or High Water Solo....awesome !
Outstanding Rhett! Hell or High Water solo had Skynyrd all over it! Loved it! Can’t wait for all these tunes to be available. Love your stuff bud, cheers from Northern Ontario Canada!
Hey , I really like that interaction of the guitarist (you) interacting with the feel of what the writer(s) were feeling. I've done two albums as a singer/ songwriter, but was then given a bass and have since picked-up the guitar, my dad left me a Gibson E-125 Archtop, so of course I couldn't leave that in the case. David Johnson did the strings on my work, but your work lets me know a little bit more about what he went thru putting the guitar, steel, and violin on my work; thanks!
Amazing video as always! You seem like you're in your element, so loose and relaxed. Excellent playing and amazing tones! I need to be taking notes. Haha
Awesome vibe man!
Man your parts on that last song...so freaking tasteful. Really enjoyed watching the way you approach tracking!
This was awesome. Looking forward to more of this type of thing in the new studio!
I loved watching this! I am currently really starting to get into home recording here in my apartment. And watching this was really inspiring!
This was an incredible documentation of creativity and time! Thank you very much for sharing Rhett! This made me want to pick up my guitar again.
I have a Fender Strat, Deluxe Reverb, and a Shure SM57, and I can’t seem to get it to sound good to my ears after recording. Any tips would be super helpful! I’m recording into a Focusrite 2i2 and GarageBand at the moment.
Once again, I love your videos and I can’t wait to recognize your guitar tracks on their songs later this year! Congrats!
great tones and even better parts. Keep up the good work!
really awesome stuff, man. Hard sessions like this are one of my favorite things to do as a guitarist. Really love the studio, too. Ill bet those two Distressors are really fun for bus compression :)
that guitar is really something else! keep it up! Excited to hear the songs
That speedy reaction at 12:28 is, in my books, a feat on its own! Great playing!
Man this video is so inspiring! Got me to start writing some stuff! Love it
Mary's first song feels like it could be on a 007 intro.. dope..
Agreed, that retro vibe is definitely there.
Nice work, great tones and very tasteful playing. Been looking forward to Hell or High water getting recorded, and that last Mary Spender song sounds great, what a voice!
maaan your sounds and arrangments are amazing!
Man, quality songs and fantastic playing Rhett
Love that Adam, Mary and Rhett are doing a track together. The Mary tracks probably helped keep things fresh for the Noah tracks, too. That last Mary track sounded pretty epic and expansive and it's great to hear Mary's vocal with different accompaniment (not that I have any issue with her playing but I'm not sure how much she goes into layered guitar arrangements.) She did a track awhile back that worked in some self harmonies and her viola that was a massive leap forward in getting her songs presented for the nuggets that they can be. I'm not sure of the track, but she had one awhile back that she doubled her vocal with this great guitar melody that suited her default style perfectly. Anyway, it's great that these talented, decent people and vibrant musicians found each other on CZcams. Looking forward to her track with SamuraiGuitarist, also.
Adam Nealy (sp)?
Beautiful playing mate .
Some great ears. Both tracks sound smooth. Nice work man, you're pretty dang versatile!
Love your slide tone, Rhett. Wish I could play slide like that.
Those are great songs. Loved your parts and the video.
Good God Rhett those are some tasty tones! You are one of the few players that can give me chills just by listening through my iPhone speaker, keep it coming buddy!
Your playing is just sublime!
Amazing sound and great parts there!
Your content is really top quality. Love it!!
Great video, top playing and fantastic songs. Thanks.
I know this is an older vid, but I have a habit of watching your videos several times.
The first solo was solid classic rock territory. love it.
Y’all have been teasing us with “Hell or High Water” for too long now. I’m going to buy this track the second that it gets released.
Nice work. That LP is beautiful.
Totally appreciate all the filming effort. I was actually already looking for Noah Guthrie on apple music since a few months ago.
Really sounded sweet on all of them songs you played I love to hear it next download everything great job bro
