I'll be honest I've played a whole host of instruments. But the guitar has weird and evolving ways to play it all the time. Some instruments by their nature cannot be played differently.
Are you referring to electric guitar coupled with effects or standard acoustic guitar? Personally I think the purely organic instruments, percussion, brass, woodwind etc provide the musician with the widest scope for expression and creativity.
Your ability to play harmonics is sublime Darrell! Your harmonics lessons from last year was amazing, I'm still trying to learn Your riffs. Would love you to post an updated lesson. Please bring your intro back, it makes us smile!
What equipment do you have to have in order to get the harmonics sound, it must be quite costly cause if you just have a Roland micro cube amp a electric guitar 🎸 it's not going to happen.
All great! But one of the most used and important technique is vibrato. It defines the player. Like a fingerprint. BB King, Brian May, Mike Oldfield. Examples of icons, recognisable for their vibrato, amongst other things of course ☺️
You already mentioned effects, but I want to specifically shout out Wah pedals. Most effects are set it and forget it, but actively using a Wah is kind of its own technique.
Brian May does this thing during his 10 minute solo where he uses the volume swell but also has 2 delays and it’s so pleasant to listen to. Instant serotonin.
When does string bending come to piano? Technically they could be bent but not with human hands. Interesting to think about since it is a stringed instrument in technicality
as a guitarist and also as a pianist you are right it's a stringed instrument but don't forget that piano is also a percussive instrument because of the way it produce the sound.
As far as I know, there isn't a pitch bend yet but an acoustic piano with a transpose button was built around late 1800s. I think it was built in London.
@@BillieSwift Legend has it, Irving Berlin was not an accomplished pianist, and he used one of these because he could only really play well in C. I have no idea if this is true. But I have no compunction about repeating it. Ha!
You could also mention that you can add a triple play or Roland pick up and play every instrument in the orchestra through your guitar! Thanks for posting.
Nice video, Darrell Made me think of one of the absolute masters of harmonics and volume swelling (except he uses a volume pedal, rather than the volume knob on the guitar) - Mattias IA Eklundh. He does some absolutely amazing, very very technical things with harmonics that will make your ears pop out...
A bit further to this, Darrell, if you haven't even checked out Mattias IA Eklundh, it might be that you could do a video on "Intonation" - as IA has all his guitars fretted with the "True Temperament" system - his frets are wiggly lines. I'd guess he has absolute perfect pitch and hates the compromise that a normal fretboard produces. And if you watch his tutorials on harmonics you will learn such a lot that most top level guitarists won't even know (or use) about how their guitar strings vibrate. It's an absolute education
I'm fairly new to orchestral instruments, but surprisingly you can emulate a lot of these sounds woodwinds! Earspasm Music has a tutorial for bass clarinet on "Harmonic Glissando" or "Throat harmonics" which is probably the closest you'll get to a Dimebag sound on a classical instrument!
Great video, guitar IS the best! Some more awesome techniques are; Palm muting. Travis style picking. Hybrid picking. rasgueado strumming. Unison bends. Sweep picking. Pick tapping. Percussive playing. Behind the nut bends. And that's just to name a few. Keep the great videos coming man. Really enjoy your content. 🤟
First I love that guitar if I’m correct you have a video building that. I like palm muting,pitch Harmonix too. I just really love everything about the guitar it’s just so much fun getting creative.
One of the most fun things I've found about picking up the guitar for the firstt ime last December is the myriad of tones and sounds I've managed to make thanks to CZcams channels like this one. Last week, My hands discovered how to do pinch harmonics. I've been squealing since. And, yeah, after getting a few callouses, guitar is a blast!
As simple as it's possible to show us. In the age of 67 yo, Darrell still explains the versability of this instrument so easy. The way to demonstrate these 5 techniques has all of a sudden been a part of the lessons, I teach my young students. Thank you so much, Darrell Braun. If I forget, why I fell in love with the guitar 58 years ago, I just have to visit Darrell Braun Guitar. Greets from Denmark 😄🤘🎸
Don't know if this falls in a kind of hammer on category, but I firmly hold down the low E in the string tree side and release it slowly to create a variation in pitch. It's the opening to Iron Man. 🎸🎸🎸
It’s amazing how many different sounds are available just from your hands, even before you reach for the vol/tone controls, the trem, your amp, or your pedals.
Vibrato, double stops, palm muting... Yeah, so many variations and techniques to explore make the guitar a joy to play (or, in my case, attempt to play). Always a good day when a new Darrell Braun video drops.
Covers the essentials nicely here and fully agree! I might add that a player can work a more energetic finger vibrato with or without bending, it's a big winner in many a classic rock and blues tune and a signature move for some big name players. From absolute beginner to expert, the guitar is capable of simply sounding good with as little or as much technique as you have. My late father in law learned in his late 60s and never got beyond 3 or 4 cowboy chords but got so much joy playing his favourite Wilf Carter tunes. And Joy is what it's all about!
I just discovered you in my CZcams queues, mainly looking at modding vids. Would love to see you take on old Ibanez SA120 from the early 2000's to 2010. Lots of those out there that could stand some modding on a budget. Just the idea of taking an older guitar like that and updating it with more modern electronics would be a kick. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Will be checking out your tab stuff on Harmonics and other exercises. After returning to guitar after 30+ years, this is a whole new adventure from the stuff we had back in the '70s. Thanks again.
Dig the channel! Just subscribed! I noticed listening to SRV that during string bends he’ll switch the pickups back and forth. Haven’t seen him do it, but my strat is coming fedex today, can’t wait to try it! Thanks for great content!
Volume swelling can be heard in Cathedral by Eddie Van Halen, but Dave Meniketti of Y & T made it an art form on I Believe in You, especially the live version on their Open Fire Live album.
I use sweep picking ,alternate picking and i don't how it is name this technique that i going to say but it is the technique that you play notes in the fretboard with the pick used like the left hand
Gotta say after bends harmonics are my favorite. Now with volume type swells I think of Eddie and Cathedral or Winger. There are so many options!! I have also seen a tap on legato type playing that mimics a keyboard which is amazing! The hammer off type technique of Satriani is also more unique. I call it the waterfall of notes technique.
As far as a floating bridge goes.. playing a note and then using your other finger to pull on a bass string and whammy it without using the bar. Love using that!
Would love a video on the gretsch guitars, the streamliner pros i think? They cost around 340$ but have been getting priced higher recently. They gota P90 and humbucker. Big les paul shape to it.
Yet another informative and fun video to watch! I'm enjoying your segment animations as well. I'm a graphic designer and animator, wondering who does these for you? I would like to chat with you sometime regarding your design work. Love these videos.
I was gonna buy you a beer or a plate of poutine...but no paypal or other donation option? I am a complete n00b and just tonight was practicing palm-muting and coming off the strings...what fun! More of these kinds of simple "Here...go do this...just this....keep it simple" videos as opposed to the endless "Watch me do stuff you can't do" videos would be appreciated. Just guessing, but I bet there are more n00bs than intermediate or advanced players in the world.
Great Vid Darrell. Being kinda between beginner and intermediate, I think vibrato (something I just began learning ) should have at least a mention . :)
Guys pls tell me, I have a limited budget and I’m struggling - should I buy thr 10 or thr 10 II? Or maybe some little tube amp like laney cub 12 or smth like that? Right Now I have a little solid state Marshall amp and I’m not happy with the sound.
Technically not a fair comparsion if operating under the notion that the Strat is American made... A Fender Mexican Strat vs the Indonesian G&L Tribute would likely be a fair stand off considering the similar price points. In all cases though, taking the G&L hands down.
I was going to list some other ways the guitar is awesome, but the list seems endless. The guitar can play all kinds of music, from all time periods, in all styles, in numerous ways, etc., etc., etc., .... It is the very best instrument ever! 😎👍👌
Kudos to the prop commitment with the rake 😂 I love playing guitar. I'm a much better drummer and bass player, but I've been steadily improving at guitar while being careful not to let the other two skills diminish.
Is guitar the best instrument ever?? You bet! 😁🤘🎸
Certainly, YES!
Of course ❤️🎸👍
not saying guitar isnt, but bagpipes are pretty damn fun to play also 🤣
Not just the best and greatest, but also the coolest 😎🎸
Definitely sir. Techniques and possibilities are infinite
Have we ditched the original intro...? Used to lol at ya tossing the aucustic up on the the roof, then face planting 🤣
@@DMSProduktions sorry spelling nazi...
@@DMSProduktions did ya though...?
@@DMSProduktions coming from someone calling themselves Produktions....
@@DMSProduktions Wow, accurate spelling applies to everyone else BUT you, apparently. Hypocrite.
@@DMSProduktions laughable...
Bending the whole instrument for that extra subtle, soothing vibrato.
Picking an independent bass line with the thumb is a great technique on guitar that sets it apart, imo
I'll be honest I've played a whole host of instruments. But the guitar has weird and evolving ways to play it all the time. Some instruments by their nature cannot be played differently.
The way Tosin Abasi plays blew my mind.
Are you referring to electric guitar coupled with effects or standard acoustic guitar?
Personally I think the purely organic instruments, percussion, brass, woodwind etc provide the musician with the widest scope for expression and creativity.
Woohoo always excited when Darrell has a new guitar video for us to see😄

This one's almost too basic to mention, but it can be a lot of fun...
STRUMMING !!!
Funky up that rhythm, folks !!!
Or Groove it up ;)
All great! But one of the most used and important technique is vibrato. It defines the player. Like a fingerprint. BB King, Brian May, Mike Oldfield. Examples of icons, recognisable for their vibrato, amongst other things of course ☺️
I like this new list thing your doing it looks very professional and clean with the metal harmonic. Nice touch to video editing
You already mentioned effects, but I want to specifically shout out Wah pedals. Most effects are set it and forget it, but actively using a Wah is kind of its own technique.
Brian May does this thing during his 10 minute solo where he uses the volume swell but also has 2 delays and it’s so pleasant to listen to. Instant serotonin.
For me no instrument can come close to guitars versatility plus you can carry it wherever you want to unlike many other instruments

as a guitarist and also as a pianist you are right it's a stringed instrument but don't forget that piano is also a percussive instrument because of the way it produce the sound.
@@talyajacobi6302 this is true!
Keyboards have a pitch bend wheel. It might be fun to try to one of those on a piano!
As far as I know, there isn't a pitch bend yet but an acoustic piano with a transpose button was built around late 1800s. I think it was built in London.

One of favorites is running octave fuzzes and then running an diving or rising whammy effect to get crazy sounds

Ahh a late in the day video from Darrell. Just what I need to wind down the day. Thank you 😊
Great video, guitar IS the best!

Amen to that brother, amen to that

There is also sweep picking (which I have yet been able to do).
I’ve always wanted to learn guitar. After watching your videos…..I pulled the trigger and finally bought one to begin learning.

And the faithful palm muted distortion..with a down picking beast yeah man !
Your videos are the only ones I wait impatiently in anticipation for on the edge of my seat Darrell 😁😁
Excellent video. Can’t do that on drums. Love your signature guitar.
Vibrato, double stops, palm muting... Yeah, so many variations and techniques to explore make the guitar a joy to play (or, in my case, attempt to play). Always a good day when a new Darrell Braun video drops.
Palm-muting! Definitely one of the funnest things to do, specially on a heavy distorted sound.
Guitar is definitely the best! Great video Darrell.

Then again, you may have already done something like that and I just haven't seen it... yet. ;) Thanks.
15 seconds in and I have subscribed. I am a simple guitar man.
Dig the channel! Just subscribed!
I noticed listening to SRV that during string bends he’ll switch the pickups back and forth. Haven’t seen him do it, but my strat is coming fedex today, can’t wait to try it!
Thanks for great content!
Thanks Darrell for the video from France ! (I was thinking you miss the tapping...😅)
Very fun and informative video thank you Darryl.
Volume swelling can be heard in Cathedral by Eddie Van Halen, but Dave Meniketti of Y & T made it an art form on I Believe in You, especially the live version on their Open Fire Live album.
I would like to see you try an e-bow on your channel. I have watched a couple of videos on them, they are kind of cool.
A guitarist in our band has one. Its cool to hear.
The Sound Stone is cool too. I bought one after seeing it demoed on the JHS show.
Thumb-slapping, and Bartok staccato. Not bread and butter, but the best of condiments when used right!
Cool video Darrell thanks
Was that the roasted Oak Barrel body? I like the tone of that guitar.
I use sweep picking ,alternate picking and i don't how it is name this technique that i going to say but it is the technique that you play notes in the fretboard with the pick used like the left hand
Thanks man. I will definitely try all of these techniques 🎸🎸🎸😃😃
Pick scraping can be fun and produce a unique sound!
Wah-t about the wah pedal?
Gotta say after bends harmonics are my favorite. Now with volume type swells I think of Eddie and Cathedral or Winger. There are so many options!!
I have also seen a tap on legato type playing that mimics a keyboard which is amazing!
The hammer off type technique of Satriani is also more unique. I call it the waterfall of notes technique.
Darrell, have you ever used an e bow? An e bow is awesome, and intend to get one soon.
That's a great sounding guitar. I know it should be for the price, but even so.
Sure is. Nice to stare at too. What is it? AH! Never mind. I followed the link. Didn’t know Darrel had a signature Paoletti. Gorgeous.
As far as a floating bridge goes.. playing a note and then using your other finger to pull on a bass string and whammy it without using the bar. Love using that!
Also if you do that then abruptly release it, it makes it flutter. :) fun nuances!
Would love a video on the gretsch guitars, the streamliner pros i think? They cost around 340$ but have been getting priced higher recently. They gota P90 and humbucker. Big les paul shape to it.
I think killswitch is a really cool one too
Yet another informative and fun video to watch! I'm enjoying your segment animations as well. I'm a graphic designer and animator, wondering who does these for you? I would like to chat with you sometime regarding your design work. Love these videos.
love your new lighting.
Please do more review about gear/amp
great video but I found it hard to look past all the drool on my screen while looking at that guitar. Such a beauty. Paoletti are next level for sure.
I wanna know how you got the tone for the sting bending sound!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the tips! Can you review the Schecter Omen Elite
The transition sound is the same sound they use on the タメシビキ channel
Hey Darrell Braun do you play bass guitar??
Will you ever cover a Solar guitar?
@Daryl...have you ever heard of a CRESCENT brand guitar?
I was gonna buy you a beer or a plate of poutine...but no paypal or other donation option?
I am a complete n00b and just tonight was practicing palm-muting and coming off the strings...what fun!
More of these kinds of simple "Here...go do this...just this....keep it simple" videos as opposed to the endless "Watch me do stuff you can't do" videos would be appreciated.
Just guessing, but I bet there are more n00bs than intermediate or advanced players in the world.
Great Vid Darrell. Being kinda between beginner and intermediate, I think vibrato (something I just began learning ) should have at least a mention . :)
The vibrato / bend vibrato and bending one string while playing additional notes stationary.
Welcome 🤗
Guitar save my life sometimes
Hey, where's your broom? Uh...yeah...sweeping on the guitar is very fun as well!
ya know what? I haven't been saying it enough lately: guitar IS AWSOME!
Love me some harmonics. The Guitar is the BEST instrument ever.
Guys pls tell me, I have a limited budget and I’m struggling - should I buy thr 10 or thr 10 II? Or maybe some little tube amp like laney cub 12 or smth like that? Right Now I have a little solid state Marshall amp and I’m not happy with the sound.
No pick slide?!? Seriously?!? Come on Darrell... should've been #1, though the five you listed are pretty awesome.
Technically not a fair comparsion if operating under the notion that the Strat is American made...
A Fender Mexican Strat vs the Indonesian G&L Tribute would likely be a fair stand off considering the similar price points.
In all cases though, taking the G&L hands down.
Palm muting too!!
Bending and vibrato,my specialty.
1. Harmonics, every single one of them
You can do the Jimmy Page thing, though rarely done, and use a violin bow.
I was going to list some other ways the guitar is awesome, but the list seems endless. The guitar can play all kinds of music, from all time periods, in all styles, in numerous ways, etc., etc., etc., .... It is the very best instrument ever! 😎👍👌
Woohoo 🙌
Awesome!!!
Pick slide! 😃
You forgot palm muting..
And the repeating thumb bass while playing.. A little Mississippi Hill Country Blues trick.. A tried and true technique..
Awesome!
No! YOU are the best!
Yessir!
27 people are Bassoon soloists. Don't forget #6 - AIR GUITAR!!! \m/>.
Hell yeah
Kudos to the prop commitment with the rake 😂 I love playing guitar. I'm a much better drummer and bass player, but I've been steadily improving at guitar while being careful not to let the other two skills diminish.
Playing into the speaker
Playing with feedback is actually another good one!
#6? - Playing that beautiful Paoletti guitar... :D
That being said, Comfortably Numb uses at least 4 of your top 5, and is a ton of fun to play...
I think vibrato is one of the essential techniques as well.
Cool guitar I wish I could play the electric guitar but I don’t have one
Feedback?
Video idea: best electric guitar with a tremolo system for a price range 500-750. Can’t be used. Has to have 1 humbucker.
Sustainiac controlled feedback! Most fun you can have with your clothes on! 🎶🎸😁
You can play guitar without your clothes on for more fun?
