Some of the best guitar channels on YouTube are pretty much exclusively iPhone clips. There are plenty with more pro sounding audio as well.

I still remember being 12 & hearing Eye of the Beholder on a Walkman for the first time.

I've really been enjoying this setup lately; clean or with a borderline stupid amount of fuzz & drive.

It’s such a sketchy business these days. We won’t even buy tickets for big shows because of that crap.

I lean toward US made guitars. That happens to be what most of the ones I want are, and they hold value better. While I’m not into them as investments, most of them get sold eventually. I have some nice imports from a few different countries though. If they fit the criteria I’m looking for, I...

I’ve played a lot of 100 seat dive bars & 1000 seat mid-level venues, both empty & full. Mainly doing original metal or rock, did some cover band & acoustic duo gigs.

Always watch out for this from the other end as well. I almost got scammed by a long time member whose account had been hacked. A lot of us have been around the forums for so long now, with so many good transactions, it’s easy to let your guard down.

Boost pedals are useless with modern amps. Noise gates are twice as useless.

There are a lot of good options for 7 strings out there now, but you really can't go wrong with an old MIJ Ibanez.

Sounds great. No idea how that compares to a dumble.

High end guitars can easily get into the $10k range these days. When you're at that point, what's $800 on a set of pickups? The fact that I'm willing to spend $3k on a guitar and maybe $400 on a set of pickups & don't even consider those high end purchases is kind of ridiculous when I think...

Man, that’s a sexy 335.

I absolutely love mine. I only use it for at home playing & recording. It doesn’t offer quite what my mark iii does tonally, but it gets awfully close with a much more user friendly layout. It’s become the amp that I play the most. I love all 3 modes on ch1, mainly the iic+ mode on ch 2...

Because they’re fun.

They typically sell for around $1200 in good condition & no headstock break, every now again I’ll see one go for $1k.

I got an R7 recently that I feel very much the same way about. Mine plays surprisingly well for such a beefy neck & small’ish frets, but nothing like my suhr or charvel.

I got in on that a few months back, pretty good deal if you have a couple of guitars that rarely get played but should probably get new strings more often.

It’s hard to make a gap in experience & awareness work between bandmates. If they’re not willing to listen to something that basic, it’s going to be a long bumpy road. I’ve jammed with some guys over the years who were skilled players & writers. But if they can’t comprehend the basic...
