Fun fact: The famous Shin-ei Uni-Vibe pedal, that Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmore loved, was an attempt at putting a Lesley rotary speaker in pedal form. 🤓
Fumio Mieda, the univibe inventor, actually drew his inspiration from the stars. He wanted to recreate the sound of radio waves bouncing off the atmosphere as he heard them as a child in Japan. Russian signals would phase across the airwaves and cause a strange "washing" sound. He simply wanted to replicate the effect. This is from a JHS article on the univibe. There is also a video on youtube where Josh Scott interviews Fumio Mieda, and he tells this same story.
@@jasonbone5121 Hmm. To me, that sounds like aesthetic marketing speak, or an apocryphal story. It might be true. I have heard from more than one source of the Lesley/Uni-vibe link. With the expression pedal connected to a Uni-vibe, allowing to slow down and speed up the vibrato, it definitely gives an effect similar to the Lesley speaker.
I hope you don't me mind promoting another channel ... Keith, at "five watt world", has done a wonderful "Guitar Short History" series, for anyone that's interested in the real (non_AI) story of guitars. He also does some on amps and pedals too. I'm surprised that you (Pauly) haven't watched them, or are you just feigning ignorance for comic effect? 🤔
I came here after watching the rant… I guess that’s what successful CZcams promo looks like 😂 Also, the rant with NO prep or editing has more views despite being more recent. I guess that’s what audience requests look like 😂
Hi Henning, I don't care about ChatGPT-facts. You and your team did a great job and put so much love in the video. I mean just look at all the filters used for every single decade. 😂 I did really enjoy the video. Just as all your videos. Thank you so much and please keep it up!
Each new genre starts from how existing instruments could be played in a different way and development of the instruments was then adapted to that, which then led to a new genre etc.
Really love the 80s section of this video, but I feel there was a large lack of mention for a very import 80s band called.... ..... ..... .... ....Skid Row 😜
Hey Henning, since you are at Thomann, ask them WHY is it taking so LONG for the Harley Benton´s to be back in stock ?! I have a list of 4 guitars I want to buy !
Let us ignore that chat gpt goes trough texts without knowing if they are fake news or not. 😂 Oh, Henning, we had DAW’s in the 90’s, ProTools for those who could afford it along the rack units, and Cubase and Cakewalk for the poor people. At the studio where local bands rented rehearsal rooms we had a PC with Cakewalk and some Roland interface. Was kinda useless for multitracking and mixing on the common weak computers until late 90’s where the 586 and Pentium arrived, but fine for mastering after the mix went to DAT. I have some multitrack songs that I recorded with Cakewalk around 96-97. We also had programs like Sonic Foundry Sound Forge. There was also that propellerhead program…. Rebirth! Early 90’s there was stuff like Band In A Box, on the 286 🤣
I'm a bit confused. Several times i looked up wat a 'real' Fender Strat cost in the fifties. They were far more expensive than they are now (corrected for inflation or valued in average monthly wage). I also understood most now famous players in the US once started with guitars from catalogue sellers like Sears. so my guess bestsellers were brands like Harmony and Sears etc. In Europe maybe brands like Eko. Certainly not Gibson and Fender, for most players couldn't afford them. But I might be wrong, and I'd count numbers, not cash flow.
Looked it up: a Fender Strat in '63 was at least $260. Sears sold electric guitars from about $50, $70 (Silvertone) to $169 ('professional'). I guess those low-budget guitars outsold Fender by far.
But the Fenders and Gibson survived ('Survivor bias'). That's why AI only knows Gibsons and Fenders. AI only knows what's on hard drives. Good, following question; will yóu survive AI? Are you on the hard drives AI uses?
Btw I‘ve never quite understood how the Thomann top-seller charts are generated. In the global (all categories) sales the Quad Cortex is number one. Ernie Ball strings are number five. Really? In the same global charts a Squier Affinity Strat is the first S-type guitar listed. But in the detailed S-type charts it is number four. Probably I just don‘t get it. Math and stats are hard! So someone please tell me what‘s the logic behind the charts?
Good point! You're close. "Here you'll find a ranking of all products - sorted by daily sales and taking into account availability." That's what the website (GB) says after I did some research. Explains why sometimes a super expensive PRS Modern Eagle tops it all. Can't be about the number of units as you correctly guessed. Thanks!
Artists pushing and being pushed my advancement in music tech. But acoustic instruments which do advance in design yet, the classic shapes and construction methods are still acceptable.
That's a little bit of a shame. THAT THING is very fast at going through mass amount of data and coming up with stuff. Provided that the database is sound, and we still get to call the shots, That Thing can be useful. Then again, humanity has survived all this time without it, why fix what isn't broken, right?
Actually when the Fender "Stratocaster" first came out it was a poor seller. Later Buddy Holly played one on live TV and then sales began picking up for Fender.
This is my favorite channel on CZcams hands-down

12:16. That’s not ‘Hey Jude’, that’s ‘Imogen’ by Vim Fuego from British HeavyMetal band ‘Bad News’ 😂

I've seen some of his stuff... really good... but I try to remain ignorant!
I was hoping for the sales records of Thomann. That would have been interesting.
I talk about that in the end

yap, YT sucks... and I trolled myself.... that's what the kids call "meta"
I'm surprised B.C. Rich didn't show up for the 80s or 90s, they were big in metal. Loved the televisions thru the years also, cool detail.
Thaaaank you…. That was so much work
I always thought the Tele was from Teletubbies
it was
Fat guys playing teles. Great show. Awesome solos.

Thanks Henning👍. That was thoroughly enjoyable and stimulated some interesting discussions. Loved the editing and FRX btw. Kudos

If there's no more youtube one day you'll make a great comedian Henning :D

noooooooooooooo

I have a list of 4 guitars I want to buy !
70 years of music history... thanks henning, i learned a lot... i guess.
Great Video, thats entertainment! 👍
This video kicks ass. Awesome and very creative.
As usual, very entertaining and your knowledge is second to none👍I wonder where the next 70 years will take us, well not me, i'll be long gone 🙃

Jees Henning, I don't know why you spend so much time doing research when fantastic videos like this can be done by AI 😂😂😂😂.
The 1rst photo on 50s is from album RAINBOW 🌈 Long Live Rock'n'Roll... album from 70s...
Let the mayhem begin!!! 🤪🤘🔥
I think you did not only meet Bob Moog but you also seem to have donated generously for his hair transplant, right, Henning?
That was funny 😅
One thing though: the SM58 might be a top seller, but it’s not really an instrument.
Thanks, enjoyed it 😂
7:13 AI my arse! 5 way pickup switch wasn’t introduced till 1977… even Wikipedia knows
12:20 hahahahahahahha :D :D :D :D. Best moment

it is possible that the charts are generated by overall INCOME and not units moved.

I challenge your "digital synthesis v. sampling" at 30:21; isn't the mellotron by design a sampler?
it is... analog samples
11:22 mmm Leslie
17:40 and more Leslie 🤘🏽
Ahh the sony trinatron flat screen tube tvs weighing up to and beyond a metric ton

That was hilarious! Are we allowed to have this much fun on a Monday morning?
THANKS
Good evening. My name is Sasha and I am from Ukraine. Please recommend an inexpensive acoustic guitar case under $60. thank you
Look at the Thomann gigbags, don’t get a case
Sorry HP I’m not interested in what chat gpt or ai has to say about anything. I don’t know maybe it’s my age. See you on the next one.
it's just supposed to be fun
You are missing out on a hilarious video!
