If you haven’t yet watched our full interview with Mika, check out the interview excerpts below for a preview of his tasty tone, musical creativity, and incredible chops.
Everything Mika plays is just damn beautiful—readily apparent when you take away the backing tracks to reveal the lush guitar tones beneath.
Mika Tyyskä plays his awesome tune “Effortless”, and discusses the genesis of his seminal “Guitar Shred Show”—a pre-YouTube viral hit.
Really happy y’all have introduced us to Mr. Tyyskä’s work!
I love his style and tone, would be great to see him magneted
Unfortunately I can’t watch it live, looking forward to the upload!
Should I tune in? lol
Indeed. Mika sent some closeup shots of his entire rig and we’re going to step through each setup he does. We did this sonically in the first interview, but it we didn’t have a camera on the pedalboard, so now we’ll get a look at that.
Great interview and it was cool hearing about Mika’s gear.
His amp settings seem to be on the contrary to the sound coming from it. He runs his treble and mids quite low and has his bass higher…unless those settings are there to throw us off.
His tone reminds me of a treble boosted Brian May / Tony Iommi sound, although with a bit more sparkle.
