Even if you nail it you'll still never be as annoying as chappers. That name is like one of those fur hats. The sight of them pisses some people off.

JFC man, don't get me started on that guy

I really don't care for his business practices and propensity to lie

But what I dislike most is that ONE FUCKING DORIAN ASCENDING RUN

He does it IN EVERY GEAR VIDEO as his like "hey beginners check it out I CAN SHRED i know what i'm talking about" shit

And it's like yeah dude we all went to high school as well we know what economy picking sounds like can you please pick another lick to play

Like seriously any other god damn guitar lick

I've only watched a couple of his vids cause his name and personality annoys me. There are many gear reviewers and players that seem to have pretty bland tone and chops which IMO is what happens when you just whore yourself out to new junk all the time because the end result is no confidence in what you do have. I know a few guys who have new rigs every 2 or 3 months and they are the guys with worst sounding rigs, lol

That actually checks out pretty well

You have to spend real time with gear to actually explore it and figure out how to make it sound its best - and especially playing it live is the crucible for that. If you try to gig with new gear every month you're going to sound like shit every time, and then blame it on whatever gear it was - when the truth is, you didn't even scratch the surface of what it was capable of

That's why I always laugh when someone gets a legendary amp of whatever kind and is like "yeah i played the four metallica riffs I know on it at bedroom volume and decided it wasn't for me"


YEAH SURE BRO

I dont play out or anything, but you learn a lot of tricks with a good amp when you keep it. Especially when you mix it with pedals

100%

All gear, you have to spend some time living with it for a while

Low volume, high volume, pedals, straight in, DIFFERENT SPEAKERS, different guitars

Like there are very few pieces of gear that are just completely unusable these days. It isn't 1973.

Live is def the crucible of everything guitar and music related.

There is also what I call the Marty Schwartz effect of a ton of younger players taking lessons from the same prolific video output but bland beginner-intermediate youtube guitar instructors. A lot of young people seem to lack fire in general so that all contributes to what we are talking about.
