Sickest Guitar Improvisation – Cough Cough

I’ve been wanting to pull out all my guitar toys and make some noise all week.  Then I got hit with a miserable cold.

Screw it, I made a sick guitar improvisation anyway.

Whammy Pitch Shift using EHX RingThing!

The Ring Thing by Electro-Harmonix does a Whammy style pitch shift when using an expression pedal. Hear the effect in this demo as I shift up, down and in-between.

This pedal does a lot more than pitch shifting. Check out my other videos:

Pedal Trio: Ring Thing, 90’s Russian Big Muff, Moog Flange

I was organizing my gear and came across my 90’s Russian built Big Muff Pi. I stopped using this pedal about 4 years ago and I thought it was time to revisit it. I paired it up with my new Moog MF flange and the EHX Ring Thing to see what it would inspire. I like what happened!

Each track was recorded in one take, for better or worse.

Signal Chain: Guitar, Ring Thing, Big Muff, MF Flange, Amp.

• For the “Bass” I used the octave down setting on the Ring Thing going into a driven Big Muff.
• The Rhythm guitar I used the MF Flange with a slow sweep, a lot of depth and the vocal switch on.
• For the solo I turned everything on and set the Ring Thing to be an octave up.

Bouncy Blues Backing Track in E

I wanted to make a really light, bouncy and almost silly blues backing track to show that blues isn’t only about feeling blue, but sometimes is about taking your blues away. This one cheers me up every time. Also, in the middle I pull way back in volume so you can do the same, we get to build and then come out hard at the end. I love the dynamic playing from artists like Buddy Guy who will bring the band back to a whisper and then bring everything to a roaring head. I think dynamics in playing is something a lot of people forget about, so this is a good chance to experiment with that.

Key of E. Chords are E, A, B.
