Here's a challenge for you. Next time you are bending: do it mindfully.. do it with the intention of reaching a certain note in the scale that you're using! Play around with it! . #kieselguitars #kieselfamily #kiesel #kieselvanquish #vibrato #screaming #practice #guitartalk #guitarsolo #guitarporn #guitarlife #writing #guitaristsofinstagram #musiclovers #melodic #classicrock #mesa #mesaamps #canadianmusicians #canadianmusic (at Dieppe, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMmoxnQhjD4/?igshid=wd4g8e7h9wvy

Had to give it a test run, and man, that mid range growl and note articulation from the @futone brass block is just nuts. If you haven't checked these guys out yet, do it! . #futone #ibanez #ibanezpia #ibanezguitars #ibanezjem #stevevai #shred #melodic #canadianmusicians #testrun #playitloud #mesaamps #canadianmusicians #guitaristsofinstagram #legato (at Dieppe, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkbeleh4LA/?igshid=4kkspsqxe1k2

💕Can we show this #ibanezpia some love!?💕 . Had the pleasure of decking this thing out with @futone parts today and MAN, does it look GREAT! @stevevaihimself what do you think? She's all decked out titanium hardware and a big brass block. I plugged her in and that note articulation was INCREDIBLE! Swipe to see the before and after pics! . #futone #pia #ibanezguitars @officialibanezguitars #shred #80s #hairmetal #jem #ibanezjem beautiful #guitarporn #japanesecraftsmanship #guitarlove (at Dieppe, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkZM0iF1Ly/?igshid=ggm35mpf8jqt

Your favorite artist is Brian adams . Go ahead, name a better bridge...I'll wait ;) .

This lick is actually much harder than it looks... the beauty in it is that when you nail it, it comes together like a smooth and simple little run!

🤤Ever just stop and admire your neck?🤤 What's your favorite neck wood and why? I'm always interested in people's opinions on tonewoods since there's really no wrong answer: it's up to you and what YOU HEAR...let me know in the comments! . @jeffkiesel @kieselguitars #kieselguitars #kieselartist #kiesel #kieselfamily #kieselvanquish #inlove #boutiqueguitars #customguitars #cocobolo #tone #tonewood #shred #beautiful #woodgrain (at Dieppe, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKpZqRFasI/?igshid=eda9hrwp740y

🔊Turn it up!🔊 . 🎚comparison time!🎚 So, I've got in the first video: my #mesaboogie #triplecrown . In the second video, my #peaveyxxx . Swipe to hear the difference. I have the amps dialed in as closely as possible, I'm playing the same riff and I want to know your opinion! The last picture is a shot of where I have them both dialed in! In my opinion: the #mesa has tons more low end definition and overall note clarity while the xxx is definitely the epitome of high gain - all balls while sacrificing clarity....it sure does roar though..... and man is she bright... Funny enough though, I never noticed this at all until I got my mesa! Let me know your thoughts on the comments! You don't have to be a guitar player to have an opinion! Let me know which is your favorite! Ps, sorry for the room noise, my room isn't the best yet for cutting that echo... . #kiesel #kieselguitars #kieselfamily #kieseltypex #guitaristsofinstagram #videooftheday #musicislife #amps #mesaboogieamps #peaveyamps #guitarporn #playitloud #fightitout #tone #guitartone #musiciansofinstagram #guitarplayer (at Dieppe, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMH4gSCFpCO/?igshid=beyyv387ydfl

Here's your daily dose of shred. . I was in a writing mood, but then this room overheated and I can't concentrate so now I'm just playing around.

Try this: visualize your scales as a map across your fretboard. Don't just play down the board in a box pattern, play across, backwards, ascending, descending and any other way you can think of to familiarize yourself with the scale.. here I'm doing harmonic minor. Oh, and use a metronome ;) . #scales #fretboard #musictheory #practicemakesperfect #workforit #kieselfamily #kieselartist #kiesel #kieselguitars #kieseldelos #musiclovers #guitarlove #guitaristsofinstagram #guitarlife #guitarporn #scales #guitarscales (at Dieppe, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7BROxhwVi/?igshid=1ki7tazk07tsb
