ZAKK WYLDE – “Autumn Changes” Play-Through Video

On his recent visit to EMGtv, Zakk Wylde jammed a play-through of a track from his new record, Book Of Shadows II. In this version of “Autumn Changes,” Zakk shows off the seldom heard, yet beautiful clean tones from the EMG Zakk Wylde Set (81/85). From rhythm to lead, the tone is harmonically rich, complex, and provides amazing sustain. View below.

The original concept and intent in designing the first EMG’s was to create a pickup that translated an instrument’s tone more realistically with improved characteristics; making the instrument play and sound more musical. We’ve created a line of pickups that speaks to what musicians in the real world are asking for: versatility, reliability, responsiveness, and great all around tone. There truly is no comparison between EMG’s and other conventional pickups on the market today. EMG’s have a much broader frequency response that’s better for capturing harmonics, chord definition, individual notes, and overall dynamics.

We never forget that a pickup is a product of a good design recipe which directly affects the type of music you play and how you play it. Included here are some of the elements of our design considerations which ultimately influence the final result.

Zakk Wylde has been no stranger to success over the years. At only 19 years old, he was tapped to join Ozzy Osbourne’s band as lead guitarist and co-writer. He performed with Osbourne for nearly twenty years.

Wylde formed Black Label Society in 1998 as a vehicle for his own artistic vision: uncompromising, unfiltered, no bullshit rock’n’roll.

Black Label Society quickly became a touring juggernaut and has gone on to release seven successful studio albums which have sold well over a million and a half albums total. But record sales only tell part of the story-it’s the legions of fans that turn out to see Wylde perform his masterful talents on the guitar and piano that are the true testament to his success.
