Scariest guitar sound ever! Take a wah wah pedal and hook it up backwards, the step on the wah pedal. It sounds like really creepy seagulls or crows. David Gilmour did this in the middle of Pink Floyd's 'Echoes'.
Scariest sound is my 3 year old daughter playing with the amp behind my back. Then you come home. Plug in, and wake up the whole street with a full volume and gain G-chord.

5:39 I'm not gonna lie, when i first tried learning guitar because I loved that iron man bend, I used that trick unintentionally thinking I was using wrong but it sounded sick anyways 😅
Yep you're right, Bat out of Hell was done in the studio by Todd Rundgren. When the producer needed a motorbike effect and they didn't have a sample of one to use. I think that's the first time 'Hold my beer' was said.
hit a harmonic on the next note (pinch or natural), it'll come out sounding a bit brighter so it'll ride on top in the repeat and cover it up good. For a real trippy sound play with the time knob on your delay while letting notes ring out.
@@ThatWasPrettyFunny Um, ... Bingo. Why have so many people that 'used to have a guitar one time a long time ago' ALL tell the same bullshit story about the time they popped a string and the dam thing whipped up and hit em in the face, .. sometimes even causing blood and always almost putting out an eye? Anyone? This has baffled me for 40 years of playing,... 20 of which was spent as a professional guitar tech where I probably averaged changing restringing 50-100 per week and so far.... well, you know.. 🙄
I used to do that exact harmonic thing all the time, the first time I remember hearing it was Static X - The Trance Is the Motion. I always liked playing with that cool slight dissonance it creates.
Damn, you're very creative! And it's easy to see how excited you are with guitar, I love your enthusiasm! It's making me wanna experiment with sounds asap!!
Freaky siren noise- Pre-bend the 14th fret and tap the 16th on the G string. Slowly release the bend and keep tapping. Cool when you add reverb. Came up with it myself lol.
3 years ago, my guitar sounded like scraping on a board. Today, it sounds like it has mild constipation. 3 years later, it will sound like plain crap. *PROGRESS*
The scariest sound I ever got out from electric guitar was on my early days when I just got my first guitar set. I tweaked with the amplifier, I put all eq to 0% and spring reverb 100%. I think that was creepiest thing I heard.
The droid sound with the whammy bar: I wrote a piece called "The Vicious Groove" for a college recording class. It featured heavy 80s style riffs and rhythms over a techno beat and all the melodies and noises were produced this way (like letting the whammy bar drop and bounce on the strings). While we were working on the piece in a practice room, the crazy sounds brought the Dean out of his office looking around because he thought there were birds loose inside the halls (the sounds were a little muffled through the closed doors of the practice room). He traced it to us and thought it had a good laugh. All these crazy sounds are so fun to use and abuse.
I've got one more for you, I call it "The call of Cthulhu". It is quite similar to "Ghostly howls" at 4:00 . Turn you guitar volume down to 0, then start a slow bend, while doing the bend, turn the volume up little by little. Once you've reached the highest note with your bend, the volume should be maximum. As you unbend, turn the volume down. The result sounds like a gigantic sea monster roaring. It works better with reverb. That's it ! ^^ (jeez, this is realy tricky to explain, it is so much easier in video...)
Tony Iommi used to make a lot of scary riffs using his SGs with heavy distortion. One excellent example is the riff in the middle of Children of the grave.
Mike, I know this is an old video, but do you use a tremsetter on this guitar? How do you do unison bends without going out of tune? They sound perfect

I believe the motorbike sound in "Bat out of hell" was done entirely on a guitar. It sounds like a bike revving and flows into a very well done solo.
Look at Who invented satanic metal very rare

The scariest sound is when you are tuning and a string pops. First thought: "Are my eyes OK?"

And then sweaty palms as you tune towards the break 😅😂
