Will A Reversed Hendrix Strat Sound Different? Let's Find Out!
Просмотров 7 тыс.21 день назад
I decided to test if reversing the strings on a strat affects the tone. To do this I had to record some samples using upside-down playing (ala Eric Gales, Doyle Bramhall II), then install a new right-handed nut, restring, and record them again the normal way. See if you can tell a difference. 00:00 - About This Guitar 01:28 - Preparing For The Test 04:40 - Before/After Tests 07:04 - Conclusions...

SRV Little Wing Backing Track

    I’m a country player and when I started learning this tune, with out thinking I used hybrid picking, and to be honest to straight pick it at the speed he’s going, and do it clean would be almost impossible. Josh Smith did a thing for Primera Guitar were he talks about Scuttle Buttin an plays some of it. Watch he’s right hand. He does it right, which means clean an in time.Its really easy to see where he uses the middle finger to pull up with

    @lyndatomlins3448 19 дней назад

    Im also lefty player & I believe all you will ultimately achieve by playing a guitar upside down like Hendrix is visual, not tonal. Jimis sound has often been copied by running the pedals he always used on stage through a cranked up big amp set up with of course, a Strat type guitar. In the studio he would use all types of effects which made him sound unique . A lot of older players love that flipped Strat look of Hendrix....look at the fashion of lefty necks used on guitars. I hope the look makes you happy. For us lefty players, the general lack of choice of left hand guitars is a reality & most of us do not like playing guitars upside down. Cheers.

  • @scottallen9556
    @scottallen9556 21 день назад

    I’ve been considering using a right handed Tele bridge and pickup on my lefty Tele for the tone difference especially at the bridge. The thought being, the same thing you’re hearing on the Strat will tame the overly bright bridge pickup known on Telecasters. Never seen it done though? I use a right angled cable for my flipped righty Strat. You will have to just settle on the best spot to rest your arm between/around tone knobs and is kinda the deal breaker.

    Definitely a difference. Could it be the pickup height or angle, or magnet height? I've never heard that a pickup is voiced for high and low strings.

    The Blues Junior was the Blues Junior killer; every version sounds like an Amazon cardboard box with a speaker in it. The billm mods do help immensely, but it was not engineered well right out of the gate. Your own mileage may vary.

    @Tobajjass 22 дня назад

    That G and B string sounds a bit ”grittier/louder” when the pickups are ”reversed”. I like that sound. Also on the knobs, those are pretty edgy from the factory, you could sand the top edge down to make it more smooth. That plus a right angled cable and standing w/ strap could work well. You fight need to have the guitarstrap higher than you’re used to have it. How does it feel when soloing in like E minor or A minor?

  • @picksalot1
    @picksalot1 22 дня назад

    When the low strings have the longest "string length" to the Tuners, they have a higher overall tension necessary to bring them up to the same pitch, and the reverse is true for the high strings. Consequently, the Bass strings feel stiffer and the Treble strings feel looser, and this Physics is usually better for the same gauge strings. This is why Grand Pianos and Harps have long string lengths for the Bass strings and short ones for the Treble strings.
