Sapphire Ng: Girl Gone Wild 

The Mystical World Of Guitar Feedback

Hello all ! I'm so glad to say that I had a freaking fun day learning about Guitar Feedback from my great teacher Az. Not to mention that I spent over an hour post-lesson self-imposing guitar feedback to my ears at loud volumes (that I usually do not play at) in my small bedroom.

Well an analogy that I love from my guitar lesson is, as my teacher said, "If you are afraid of heights, you go bungee jumping to counter that fear", so "If you are afraid of guitar feedback, go and create feedback". Hahaha it was a really eye-opening lesson and from today onwards, I will not see feedback the same way again. Well guitar greats such as Jimi Hendrix have manipulated feedback to their advantage during shows.

Firstly I have to lay out what gear I use and what tone settings I typically use that makes my guitar such a "victim" prone to feedback. I play a red semi-hollow Ibanez guitar that you guys probably seen and heard if you have been stalking my guitar videos. And semi-hollow guitars are just more prone to feedback than their solid body buddies.

Also I love high gain tone settings, I love it when my tone is edgy, fierce and dirty. And as my teacher said, the higher the gain, the more sensitive the pickup is to picking up information channeled from the amp. So the higher the gain, the easier you get feedback.
