I was just about to move on, then 7:50 happened. Wow.

It feels like years since Tyler played something that wasn't dotted with birds.

Rare footage of Tyler buying a guitar that wasn’t made by PRS

That final jam was the best I have heard you play. Congratulations to you for the decision (I know how hard it is to let go of stuff) and for the new axe. Have fun!

If Guitar Center were owned by GameStop, the best they could offer for all that in the opening would have been about $12 in store credit.

I love going to guitar stores

He loves guitar stores so much he has one in his house

8:12 that was the smoothest slide I’ve ever seen in my life

Hard to make a bad choice between the two. The sound from 7:50 on is hard to argue with! Tyler, you’re a refreshment to the guitar community. Definitely a “win”.

Tyler: "I have so many pedals I don't know where to put them" Me: *cries in one metal zone*

I came to this video because John Suhr posted it on his FB page. Yeah, you made the right choice.

Tyler: *a PRS guy* Also tyler: *buys a Suhr* Mateus Asato: *Mateus will remember that*

Tyler's wife: "you said you were going to get groceries!!"

Tyler is now finally moving home from the guitar store

the solo at 7:50 was easily the most moving piece of music I've ever seen you play. good shit man.

The Suhr guitar has the modern sound, like your favorite guitar players use to play. The Fender Telecaster has the sound for blues and jazz. Both are great guitars. I personally would prefer the Fender, because of the warm sounding tone. But at the end, it's all about your taste of music.

"I love the five way" - Tyler Larson 2020

Beautiful, beautiful playing at the end. If a unicorn were to lay down in a meadow for a nap, this is what it’s sigh would sound like.

That solo was actually impressive

When Tyler sells gear to guitar store: here's some $$$ When you or I do it: here's some ¢¢¢

Music Is Win: *wheels in a case full of pedals* Guitar Center: I’ll give ya $50.

Regular musicians spending a few thousand in one instrument: easy Me spending *$200-400:* 👁👄👁

Tyler: "Honey here's the guitar you always wanted to give me!" Wife: "WHAAAAAT!"

He has more pedals than my guitar center

I preferred the Fender tone but the Suhr had a unique growl attack. The Suhr suits your style and taste more though.

Being a non musician your guitar playing brings chills to me. I really envy you. Having broken a finger on my left hand (and had the shattered bone replaced with bone from my elbow) I do not have full use of that finger but I would rather be entertained by you.

As a store manager at a music go round, these are my favorite kind of trades, too. It's way easier to talk 20 people into buying a (maybe) couple hundred dollar item, than to get that one guy to shell out thousands...

The outro jam is best I’ve ever heard you play. Obviously you’ve played a lot faster and more flash or “impressive” stuff in the past but right here your bends were remarkably accurate, your vibrato so smooth, your dynamics on POINT, finger tone was beautiful and your overall phrases and note choices were really mature. For that reason I think you made a great choice in guitar. If it encourages/inspires you to play in such a way then I think you’re in for a joyous treat on your journey All the best mate.

"I could sell all of my pedals and be able to afford half of that guitar" Proceeds to use $5000 pedal

Holy shit that solo at the end. God damn dude, you're inspiring.

When you started playing at 7:50, all doubt went out. You're playing like Jeff Beck there, and it is so sweet. I was leaning toward the Suhr already, but that slow solo at the end was the answer. That's a beautiful guitar.

How could you make a decision like this without playing "Stairway" on them first?

This is my favorite jam he’s done.

8:47 Tomo Fujita signature lick, Great solo playing at the end Tyler

7:50 is just so damn beautiful man. Can’t stop listening to it

Tyler: when he goes to guitar center, he goes for expensive stuff The rest of us: looking for something that’s good and under $500

Every solo that tyler does at the end, is just... so magical

There is something magical in that solo in the end. That notes are incredible.

Tyler: "i never sell guitars" me just to have a better one: "SOLD!"

holy christ. that solo was easily one of the greatest solos i’ve ever heard wtf

My guitar center is ass unless you really want a Jackson or Squier. Nearest Suhr dealer is like 350 miles away

Wow. Very moved at the end. The tone truly is in the hand. Beautiful touch n feel.🎨

That end solo was some of the best playing I've heard from Tyler. He made the right choice with the suhr!

Tyler:Too many pedals Me: one overdrive button on my amp

The jam at the end was immense. A link to the backing track would be really good, if you made it yourself you should release them in a playlist

Now you just need to make a fusion jazz album and call it "Suhrnobyl".

Tyler, your playing in the end was the best thing you’ve done in your entire life. Joe Bonamassa should ask you for some lessons on playing with feel!!!

"I love the 5 way" Oh Tyler, I didn't know you were into that.

I sold my whole house just to buy a bunch of picks so I never run out Edit: I am so proud of this community 🤣

My ears and financial sensibility say you made the right choice. This is coming from a guy in a Fender T-shirt with a 2012 EVH Special and 1991 JCS Reverse Yngviestein relic. Just started following your channel and I'm watching everyday. Thanks man.

For SUHR the right choice. That ending jam was some of the best playing I've ever heard! Such great tone, but note choice and feel was top notch sir. :)

It’s disturbing how good the suhr sounded against the fenders right here.

I normally don’t comment, but sweet Jesus that guitar solo at the end was stellar

I seriously can't stop listening to that solo at the end. I've sent it to so many people as an example of the play style I want for myself. Amazing playing and love your channel!

That final jam has to be one of my all time favorites from you

Plot twist, Tyler couldn't decide and bought both, his wife allegedly had him sleep outside for spending 5 grand

Dude that jam at the end was unreal. Made my face cringe for all the right reasons. Such a bad ass melody. 10/10 felt it in my soul.

Duuuude... when you kicked that Centaur in at the end... goosebumps.

Back again just to listen to that jam at the end. Just wow. If that isn't motivation to squeeze an extra 20 minutes of practice time in my day I don't know what is.

That jam was the tastiest thing I’ve heard in centuries. You should do a competition like Paul with that backing track.

Really nice guitar! The hollow body part gives the overall sound a lot of warmth and depth. Not too big on the colour of the body though.

The goose bumps went away when you played the fender... good choice going with the classic sound over a fender

Absolutely loved the sound from the Suhr. The Fender had softer and a bit more of a muffled feel to it. It is a lovely sound but the clarity of the Suhr felt better to me. And it is in a beautiful colour aswell. 😍

Sometimes the selling of a lot of smaller for a Big reward truly is a bargain. It's like a Art piece, where the entire picture is worth more than the sum of its parts (If that makes any sense of an analogy, haha.)

I wasn’t impressed with the suhr until you took it home and man, she’s a beaut Clark

That was one sweet solo. I felt it. Great tone set on that axe!

I’m weird, I don’t like the headstock of the Suhr but man it was amazing tone.

Bro!! That ending solo was sick man. I am going to have to learn that opening lick. That sweet rake to the sustained bend was just superb. You rock. Nice guitar bro.

That solo at the end was unreal. Like next level amazing. One of the best guitar solos I’ve heard in a while. Wow.

You defo picked the right guitar..... that Solo at the end was BEAUTIFUL!! loved it :)

I recently bought the Kiesel Jason Becker Numbers signature guitar. And man, that is THE best guitar I've ever played. I love it.

8:58 clicks on the only pedal he has left

I was like ”what!?” when he started playing the tele because it was tuned higher😂

It was soo evident in the trials that the suhr was connecting more with you. The playing seemed effortless, unlike the Tele, which didn't flow at all

The jam at the end was just Suhrreal, man! Well done

You ever heard of Nash guitars? They’re making amazing strats and teles that sound authentically vintage

I want to know which one was "garbage." PS, just changed out my PRS 57/08 pickups for Suhr Thornbuckers. Major upgrade in tone.

I think the fender was warmer. It definitely sounded vintage AF, but was consequently less diverse in tone. The Suhr, for you, was a better shout and your jam at the end fucking ROCKED my dude!

Last year I bought a Donner Thinline Telly w/2 humbuckers from Amazon for $150 delivered, the neck is great, the finish (TBS) is great, and the p/ups were way funkier than the Fender wide range p/ups on the previous 72 Customs I have owned. Also last year, I bought a Zuwei Rosewood Telly for $200 delivered, it is gorgeous, fantastic neck, lightweight, matte finish, the stock p/ups sizzle. Much better than the three Fender thinlines I own. I have found over the years that spendy guitars don't mean good guitars, because playability and tone are all that matter. I think the Suhr is great and if you have the dough, go for it. The most expensive guitar I have is a Godin RG-3 Passion, a beautiful chambered Strat guitar I paid $1400 for, but my $80 Peavey Predator is a superior musical instrument. I love your playing, thank for this fun vid.

Sounds like a guitar that brings out an other side of you. Things you would never play on your prs guitars.

7 dollars for all the pedals your getting rid of

Good Lord Tyler ...that was Beautiful! Excellent solo on the outro. You made the right choice.

Man, that solo at the end is all the money... I listened to it for 20 minutes straight, you gotta appreciate a nice mellow, slow and melodic some times

I have talked to that salesman before. Really nice guy! I was playing a Silver Sky and he said that the only rules are that I couldn’t play John Mayer or Lenny by SRV. 😂

You can smell Tyler's happiness playing that Suhr through the Klon pedal

I collapsed several guitars into a Suhr Tele and never looked back. This was a few years ago. Now all I have is an EBMM stingray RS and my Suhr tele and haven’t gotten the itch to acquire anything else. Pair with a deluxe reverb and a couple of pedals. The Suhr is my number one by far.

I didn't want the solo to end. it was so beautiful and emotional, please make a song out of that

I thought he was going to sell most of his studio and finance a '59 LP.

Tyler: I'm not sure if I wanna spend the extra 1000 on the guitar... Also Tyler: * Flex shot of the klon centaur *

Love my Alt T! Got it in 3 tone tobacco burst! Had it’s for about a year! So versatile, really good all-rounder! Nice one dude!

Duuude what a great combo. With your 5000$ pedal. The sound is so tasty it's palpable. Your control of bends , beautiful phrasings. Dig your work and the creative but educational entertainment . Keep rising!

*When trading gear with GC in Atlanta their offer sounds like "crackhead" prices.*

Guitar center, car salesmen with longer hair..eesh. ‘I’m selling Suhrs as fast as I can get them’....sure you are dude, sure you are 😳

I just recently traded all my pedals (over 100) and three combo amps ( a Peavey, a Vox and a Marshall) for a Roland Boss GT 1000 processor, a Vox AC30CH with a Vox 2x12 cabinet and a Les Paul Studio. I kept my vintage way wah pedal. Never been happier.

Definitely made the right choice. The moment you plugged in the Fender I was like, nope, doesn't have the same depth of tone.. you choose wisely.

Personal opinion: Suhr Teles sounds better than Fender Teles. You did great Tyler!!

Sounds like Chris Buck is influencing people.

I love the Fender tone... But at the end of the day it's your guitar and it should perform the way you need it to. When you showed your pros for each guitar.... it was clear that you made the right choice. Enjoy it.. you earned it.

It was the right choice for you. The way you played it at the end proves that! Very nice.
