He was shipping this all to his son at home. He needed a "wire." The sales rep talked him into a 20foot monster cable! For grade school kid, just learning to play. $30, with gold ends. If anything goes wrong with it, "you can get a new cable at any Guitar Center." I'm pretty sure there are no GC's in Ecuador! The sales rep kid really laid the BS on heavy. As soon as the rep disappeared for a minute, I showed the dad an 8 foot NoName, with Switchcraft chrome connectors for less than half the price.

Loved your comments about "it's not the instrument it's the player". I had a friend who was an incredible Strat player. He was driving to a gig and someone rear ended his car and totaled not only his car but also his guitar. It was CRUSHED. So, he got someone to take him home and he borrowed his son's Squire that he bought from a Good Will Store for $9.50. He was not making enough money to have 3 or 4 guitars for back ups but he had nine fifty for his son. He has done a bit of work on it but not much. Tuners, strings, leveled the neck and gave it a severe cleaning. He came back to the tavern where he was playing, plugged his son's turquoise blue Squire into his amp and I promise you, I could not tell the difference. He was no Jeff Beck but for the level that he played at, he was incredible. Your "pet peeve" really made me laugh when I thought of my friend playing his sons Squire!!! Great video.

If a song is good in it's most broken down form then the rest is icing. I think vocalist/ songwriters are disrespected like this too often. Not everyone can sing, not everyone can play the guitar or the drums or the bass but put all those elements together with good songwriting and......singer songwriters are every bit as importwnt as drummers guitarist and bassists.

Also can't tolerate guitarist who feel they're somehow better musicians than bass players just because they play the guitar lol Hey Mr. Egomaniac, any bass player worth his salt can play guitar. We didn't choose the bass because we couldn't play the guitar. We chose the bass because we love to groove.

Playing with different bands over the years I run across some that can't keep a tempo, especially when they get louder. They get faster the louder they get or get slower when get softer. I'm a drummer who is playing guitar and it drives me crazy. I can't even tap tempo and keep my delay straight with all the different tempos going on. The other thing is watching someone rapping there cable over their shoulder and elbow. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! And they wonder why their cables don't last. There I feel better. Thanks guys.

"But, my amp can't breathe." ...k maybe not a cranked twin reverb in a 150 seat club then. 1.

On the Allan Holdsworth comment: It's basically become the same situation you've seen for years in Gypsy Jazz guitar -- Django's style is essentially the basis of the entire sound, but thousands of players now exist within that genre who emulate him while still developing their own unique voice. I think the same can be said about players who have taken substantial influence from Holdsworth in their soloing style, such as Tim Miller, early Alex Machacek, Paul Masvidal, Fredrik Thordendal, Derryl Gabel, etc. When a player like Holdsworth is so innovative that their style births an entire subgenre, a lot of amazing players within that movement get dismissed as clones because people are too lazy to truly listen and discover what makes them unique.

The Bible is truth Please read at least Genesis Mathew and one book of the Bible you chose yourself. This is an extremely important spiritual milestone to get through in life. Much of what is important is never talked about in church. To fully understand the truth in Jesus Christ’s words you must put them into action in your own life. That means you’ve gotta at least heard them. You have to look yourself. Three books bare minimum, how could you say you seriously tried if you won’t read at least that much. It is important. God uses these three books as a secret reading requirement to see who’s serious. Please do not be one of the ones who get to their afterlife reviews without having passed this milestone. There’s a lot of grace to be had with just this one act. It shows a lot to God. That you’ve at least tried. It is important. Also, to be forgiven we must forgive. It’s another milestone that’s important. If there’s love in your heart you forgive. That’s what it’s all about, love. Everyone in life hurts people without wanting to, and the people who’ve loved you deserve forgiveness. Parents are actually important here. You have to genuinely look inside and forgive from the heart. For free, no apologies, bribes, etc. just mean it inside. It teaches your soul important lessons. It has to be done as an adult though. Above 20yo. Below 20 you don’t have enough understanding of the world and much more. Your real journey doesn’t even start until then. That’s when the real temptations of sin kick in. That’s why it’s so important to do the inner work Jesus Christ taught as an adult. It’s personal choice then. That’s when your faith is matured and it can be properly harvested. Please trust me. Break down before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness. It is all true. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.

Even though you’ll never sound just like him, it’s so cool to be able to afford to do it and to have the knowledge to do so. And also, you’ll never capture his tone, but you might stumble across your own along the way.

It really amazes me how we live in an era where some seek and pay more for new things that look old and aged, even borderline broken: jeans - freaking jeans!!! We used to wear torn, battered old jeans only if we had to do some work or younger if we went playing in the fields and got dirt and grass stains, scratches and all that stuff but if you saw someone wearing torn trousers you would feel sorry for them, not pay half your paycheck!:)) At the same time, we demand old things to be in mint condition, spotless and no one in his right mind would DEMAND and pay more for a torn down house, car or even a mic to remain in the audio/music world. Perhaps, the same guy goes crazy if a guitar from the '50s has a few scratches but gladly coughs up thousands of $ to buy a 'vintage, relic'd' version... go figure!

Here's a "gold sounds better" cautionary tale. My company used to make 2 versions of a printed circuit board for a client. As background, nearly 100% of all PCBs are built by printing an image of the circuit onto a sheet of copper that's bonded to a fiberglass insulation layer, then etching away the part of the copper that is not needed for the circuit. This was no exception. For one version, we'd etch it, then put the green protective epoxy solder mask over the whole copper circuit except the solder pads, then we'd put the metal finish onto the pads to make them solderable, so they'd accept components. That was the basic version, Version 1. For the "deluxe" version, after etching we'd coat the copper circuit with ENIG (a micro-thin, soft chemical gold over nickel) before applying a black epoxy solder mask over all of the gold except the pads. Call that Version 2. Our customer would sell Version 2 to self-appointed audiophiles for 7x the cost of the standard version, on the grounds that "gold sounds better." But the circuitry that was actually carrying the signal was the same on both versions -- .0028"-thick copper. The gold coating was only .000001"-.000002" thick, and wasn't doing squat, electrically or sonically. Admittedly, the black version coated with the non-functional gold did LOOK pretty sweet, but it was functionally identical. And since the board could not even be seen once it was installed, the only benefit to the "audiophile" was the joy of unboxing such a visually handsome object, and fantasizing about the "enhanced frequency response" and "superior sonic detail" that the premium gold circuitry would deliver. The benefit to the seller was that he could charge 7x to deluded elitists, despite having only paid my company only about a 10% premium for applying that shiny non-functional gold coating to half of the same lot of PCBs.

I always felt that people who had to learn rhythm or meter by using a metronome were mongoloids with no innate rhythm. On the other hand, I have seen guys finally develop timing after using clicks, etc, so they're not useless (the musicians or the devices) after all. I just never had to do that and have always had excellent rhythm (and people have always told me that, so it's not my subjective opinion). I must be awesome or something.

I’m a tone purest but I don’t have that much expensive rig, you don’t realize how tone is actually important until you really study it, now I totally agree that your own tone is in your hands and fingers. But you your amp and pedal is the second piece. To me finding that tone that fits me, the guitar I’m playing, and the song that we’re playing,because you might not realize it but if you play the same tone for 5 different songs, it’s not going to fit every song you play, but if you play a song with a tone that fits the ambience of the song, your gonna realize it’s gonna sound so much more full

Thats a HORRIBLE analogy... The guitar is a color on a palette. The amp is another color. The strings and picks are a more minor color, but a color none-the-less. The paint brush is all the settings, signal path, speakers and cables. We can have all of those; but at the end of the day; the difference is going to be how the paint is brushed on the canvas. Cant duplicate that part... I can basically guarantee you that Howard used a specific set of strings and used a specific set of picks.

So my two guitar player pet peeves: 1. Playing Too Loud, so we finally solved it by these methods.1. In ears, 2. tilting our amps up to our ears, or putting the guitar amp on a 3 to 5 foot stand so the guitarists can hear your sound in your ears directly and not blasting the rest of the band, especially blasting the lead singer who is in front of the guitar amps. I am older and now have constant ringing in my ears from the ( other ) guitar player in the band. 2nd pet peeve. Too many pedals and constantly making adjustments during rehearsal. I used to be the guy with all the pedals and those knobs, adjustments, and forever adjusting my tone. I finally at a whim, bought a Digitech ELMTXPV-01 an all in one unit. It was a revelation using it, not much of a learning curve. Now I just use factory created patches that I find before rehearsal for each song, write it down on the song page, and with one knob or foot switch click, I have that same exact tone every time. At rehearsal, call the song and I just dial in the patch for the song. I can create new patches if I want, that does take time, but once I put it in memory it's there forever, almost forever or until it breaks. And finally the unit is easy to set up, no batteries to change and very small and light to carry to gigs or rehearsals too. lol I am older now and just want everything to be easier.

My BIGGEST 'peeve' is... 'Relicing'. I can't stand it and can't stand supposed smart Pros drolling over a new Custom Built Guitar (of any brand) that looks like it should be on a Trash Heep. I can understand Fender doing it on a Stevie Ray Vaughan Re-issue Strat. Or a Fender Re-Issue of Clapton's Strat Blackie w/ appropriate cigarette burns, but those examples are about it. My newest Strat, is a Fender Deluxe series in Translucent Blue on an Ash body, with a 12" Radius Maple Fretboard (plus other goodies) but the bottom line is the guitar is simply GORGEOUS. All my other guitars (4 others are Strats) are equally easy on the eyes. My oldest Strat is my '86 Fender 'Super Strat', Candy Apple Red, Schaller Locking Trem & 12"Radius Rosewood FB. That has aged nicely all on its own, including the dings. No 'Relicing' req'd.

(It had a very distinctive drip of glue where he'd done a repair job on it, which was how I recognized it.) They did play & sound virtually identical (go figure) but it still hurt later when the original GOT STOLEN, even though I still had (and do to this day) the one that I'd bought.

We played at a house party outside where there was so much space for them to run around, everyone got far enough away from me, the drummer, that the sound delay between us became an issue. No one had thought of that beforehand. I couldn't quite come up with an effective way to motion to them while playing drums to get them to come back to me! It was pretty hilarious.
