The History of Distortion

A History Of Overdrive and Distortion.

Students very often ask me about overdrive and distortion. They oftentimes wonder what the difference is, how to use these effects, and if one is “better” than the other.
The following video is a bit lengthy at 23 minutes, but it’s super fun to watch and very informative. It’s worth watching the video, just to see the absolutely amazing collection of pedals in the background. The room looks like a toy store for guitarists.

I never do endorsements, but the following is fun to inform you about.
A couple of months ago, I found out about this new line of D’Addario strings that Guthrie Govan strongly recommends.

My new favorite D’Addario NYXL Strings.

Conclusion

Hit me up anytime at vreny@zotzinmusic.com if you have any questions, or if you would like to book a lesson.

These free lessons are cool, but you will never experience the progress, joy, and results that my students experience in lessons when you’re learning by yourself from blogs and videos.

That is why people take lessons: way better results and progress, much more complete information, exposed to way more creative ideas than you can get from a blog or YouTube video.
There is only so much that self-study can accomplish.

If you want to see amazing results and progress in your guitar playing, buy your first lesson here and get started ASAP.
