How To Destroy Your Guitar (Disturbing Content)

Sometimes-- heck, most of the time --you want clean, beautifully sculpted, well-thought-out guitar tones. Many musicians spend their whole lives searching for that tone, and it’s a worthy goal. That's not what Nick and I are doing in this episode. We want to destroy my guitar.

This episode could have also been titled,
"Things found under Jack White's bed"

[eliblaker]

Damn he really just wrote a whole black midi album

[jaybird]

I’ve been playing guitar for 16 years. I think Josh is the guitar hero I’ve been looking for.

[onnadarts]

Love the blurry elf-drummer in the background.

[nickose]

Nick just vibing like an absolute maniac in the background.

[JohnMcNicholas]

I am crying every time the “Guitar Destroyed” graphic escalates!

[grantcleveland]

This is probably the funniest episode of the jhs show i have ever seen and thats saying alot

[JessePoland]

The point where you hit the fuzz during Here Comes the Sun and you see Nicks face light up in the back. He looked like a happy little Keebler elf.

[Aidan.w]

6:29 You know Josh has reached insanity when a pedal falls over mid-song and he just shrugs it off

[RJD]

This episode really showcased nicks drumming! He is the unsung hero of The JHS Universe! Tip of the cap to you sir! 👍👌

[rocketbarber]

The real jewel of this video is Nick's expression during the AirTrash demo.

[wallacewizard]

Props to the bass player who is basically holding these jams together.

[ThunderExpress]

The title could also be: "How to Sonic Youth" lol

[Thorrison]

the Ottobit should inspire a new genre: Dial-Up Core

[logosvisuals]

I built a fuzz factory clone as my first pedal build / only fuzz pedal and I love not being able to tell whether it sounds insane because I messed it up or because it's an insane pedal to begin with. All kinds of destruction coming out of that thing.

[-MyNameHere-]

Literally always the best snare sound in every video y’all do. I always show up for the guitar sounds but when the snare comes in I only care about that. STOP HAVING THE GREATEST SNARE SOUND SO I CAN PAY ATTENTION TO THE GUITAR! damn.

[simonmarcotte]

Nick's Destroyed Guitar animation is literally on FIRE! Is that T-Rex the Loud is More Good guy? 🤣⚡🔥🦖

[Papa-Kev]

This is why I love this channel. Josh's dry humor, drummer trance, etc., etc. Lol'd several times, 9/10

[darinvogt]

I need at least one of these pedals on my “church” pedalboard—should cut through the mix well. 🤣

[brisleeadams]

What a beautiful opening credit... I'm grateful for this content, imagine we had such quality guitar and pedal shows on telly in the 90's and early 2000's...
What a great time to live in, guys, despite the appearances...
