I also want to add , that at 55 years old I'm attending college for an Associates degree. There is a guitar club where I am the only one with an electric guitar. The young people are nice but just strum chords. When I play Van Halen, Judas Priest, and other heavy guitar music, they really enjoy it but say they could never play like that. I encourage them, but I think this generation are looking for instant gratification. That's why autotune vocals exist. That is just my observation.

I can't believe the lack of respect Chuck Berry gets lately; kids don't understand that he was the standard for playing guitar in the fifties and sixties. If you couldn't play JOHNNY B GOODE you weren't considered a lead guitarist. Chuck Berry was the first musician to write his own songs, sing them, and accompany himself on the electric guitar. THE FIRST. And he had lots of hits. I played with him at three concerts in the seventies, to thousands of people; he was a bit of a racist, but he was a great entertainer, and it was an honor to play with the real KING OF ROCK'N'ROLL. He was a bigger influence on rock guitar's development than any other guitarist. And Mark Agnesi is an asshole, but we all knew that already.

He may not be a product suck up because he calls it the way it is. I'd rather spend a day hanging out with Brad before I considered hanging out with some gear reviewer that doesn't know jack about how the gear actually works. As for these other guys that think they are so relevant, sometimes being a part of the club isn't worth sacrificing your dignity.

a) Everything for the KZfaqrs is paid, flight, hotel and food, so it doesn’t cost you anything. b) Phil was already invited and I absolutely do not want any drama at these events. You stir up shit, so I am sorry, but I can’t have that at an event where I pay for everyone to be there. c) point B is less relevant than the fact that the channels have to have a certain format. It has to be about gear reviews. You do editorial content, and that’s fine, but I build connections between brands and channels to work together and help them get their gear on KZfaq and establish a relationship that hopefully gets us paid. You channel simply has a different idea behind it and doesn’t fit that format. So when I am trying to build a community of all of us working together it doesn’t make sense for me to fork over more than two grand to fly you out here when you are not as relevant to the brands as some other channels and when you are not trying to be a friend to everyone in the community. You are doing a great job polarizing and that is part of your brand, but that also comes with side effects. If I am wrong about any of this, please let me know and let’s talk. Dragging this into a video without talking to me first about what actually was the reason for you it being invited doesn’t really help and you very much know that! I am here if you want to talk!

Timothy Ryan I don’t think they were. I’ve seen Fender price lists front the 50s and the Precision Bass was about $20 more than a Telecaster and $30 less than a Hardtail Strat. I will admit that the Bassman Amp along with the Twin were Fender’s most expensive amps(They were the same price), and that I admit the amps, guitars, and bass were all a little pricey considering the average wage for the era. However, the original comment seems to make it out that basses were significantly more expensive and that is completely false. For what it’s worth, Fender’s prices in the 50s are compatible to the prices of the American Professional (formerly American Standard) product line today.

Jesse Mc Reynolds is still with us at 90yo , but he's about the last of the founding generation still occasionally playing . But more importantly , at the grassroots amateur level traditional bluegrass and traditional country are probably within a decade of loosing critical mass to exist as living genres . At local bluegrass jams , the average age of players is late 70's , with more than a few playing in their 90's . People under 65 get teased for their youth , and other than my daughter , I can't think of any local players younger than 49yo . Traditional Country local bar bands can for the moment have decent attendance . But out of 200-ish person turnouts , only 7 or 8 people under 70yo .

@robertcaffrey6097 4 жыл бұрын

When I was a kid growing up in the 1970s guitar playing was a great big mystery. A kid bought a crappy cheap guitar and amp and set about demystifiying the instrument. No tutorial vids, no mentors everything was worked out on your own and I believe this led to kids developing their own own original styles. Now days there is so much stuff around any kid can make great learning progress in a very short space of time but I think it is at the cost of individual style and originality. Most of the rock n roll greats had to all work it out for themselves and ended up with their own unique thing from that. Music had been at the same crossroads in the 70s better technical skills led to long extended virtuoso soloing taking over from the 3 minute 4 to the floor stomper. Then the Ramones came along and stripped music back to its bare bones, punk rock became the demystification and every kid could get a tune out of a half strung tennis racket. Isnt that what makes the Blues so soothing, the simplicity. I say for forget virtuosity and concentrate on simplicity and feeling. As Voltaire said "Don't let perfection be the enemy of good"

You're looking at the Casio PG380, a guitar built by Ibanez for Casio back in the late 80's, with a synth and MIDI interface built into the guitar. I've got one, and it's been my main ax for decades. Great sounding strat. Good luck finding the electronics for one, a parts guitar will most likely be your best bet. One thing that these do have issues with is the caps are of poor quality and have to be replaced before long, or the sound and MIDI go to hell on you. But they are pretty easy to replace, even though they are SMT. Big enough to get the electrolytics out and replace. I was always surprised that this guitar never caught on that well, it is a total blast to play synth sounds either alone or with guitar mixed in, and bending notes on vibes or flute is fun. The tracking was good enough on this that in pitch follow mode, it would follow your vibrato pretty well. Watch out on chords, that way, though. Keyboard mode is for that. Love that guitar.

I’m not sure I agree with Mr. Townshend’s assessment of the possibilities of the guitar having been exhausted. People who heard Allan Holdsworth back in the ‘60s said the same thing because nobody could cop any of his licks. They were the same kind of folks who hung up their guitars after hearing EVH’s Eruption, then got even more discouraged when Jennifer Batten displayed her organ-like, 8-finger technique while playing for Michael Jackson. Also, there will always be new sonic possibilities with effects. Not to beat a dead horse, but Batten took the whammy pedal to new places with her track titled Whammy Damage. Hell, even the folks who have followed Andy McKee’s percussive rhythm self-accompaniment on acoustic guitar haven’t fully explored that approach yet. And what about the Boaz One? While it isn’t exactly a total departure from the instrument, it’s a huge step in a different direction. Wait until his disciples take THAT baby to a new direction! And what about those Rainsong carbon fiber acoustics? Still basically a traditional guitar shape, but some kid with an imagination will take it somewhere the way Chapman did with the Stick. Being of an age close enough to Townsend to predict my own demise being likely within a decade of his, I don’t have the shoulders to stand upon that today’s visionary young guitarists did in order to “exhaust the possibilities of the instrument,” so I can’t really imagine what/where the next step will be, but I’m absolutely certain there will be new innovations in how the guitar will be played... probably after innovations in how its designers have come along.

You know what Brad, I honestly don't see any conflict or the point that EytschPi42 is making! First of all I get the fact that he's saying that what you do, your channels format etc doesn't fit within "His Events" parameters. Well...Strictly being impartial: I'm calling him out for bullshit! In fact, it sounds more like a personal grudge than a professional one. I've been on both sides of the musical fence for 50 years now..from playing in shitty clubs, pit orchestras doing musicals all the way to starting out from school as an engineering trainee for RCA records. Needless to say I've been around the block more than a few times and paid my dues. That being said I see nothing wrong, if fact it would be a plus, to have a knowledgeable guy, like yourself at this event. What I'm seeing here is that it's all about the money and not to benefit the musicians. Since you're a tech, a musician,and have an extensive expertise in the way things and I mean everything related to music works..You'd be an asset to his gig and, you know what, this guy doesn't deserve you. I've watched many of your video's and being a tech myself can see you know what you're doing. In other words...You couldn't BS me and I would know straight away if you tried! Well...Before I keep going and bore you to death getting to the point...Putting myself in your place, I'd tell this petty moron to just F**K off! I don't go to places where I'm not wanted! I think his comment to you was hateful, spiteful, and when he mentioned "OMG! Look what you'e going to cost me!" I had him pegged immediately. The guy is acting like a jerk and obviously , to him, it's all about the money. He admits it and shamelessly , I might add. You really don't have to take this kind of S**T from someone like this. Take a pass on this event and just chalk it up to one of those things that you really wouldn't enjoy anyway. If it's any consolation I think what you're doing is interesting and informative and like your channels a lot. Don't let some " Hands up Mr. 10%" Know it all get you down. Some people are just impossible to get along with and you can't get everyone to like you.

Ray Wylie Hubbard Slide guitar, finger picking, hijinx, and hilarity. Ray brings it all. Just saw Rick Wakeman Awesome show by the way 70s Going to see the 50th anniversary of the Flying Burrito Brothers (no original members apparently) They all may be old, but, you know what? These guys can still bring it. Rick Wakeman played the piano so hard and fast that my hands were sore! Elvin Bishop can still rip the blues like he did in 1974 the first time I saw him play. Though the NRPS haven't toured in a couple years they still did some wild 3 hour shows every night. right up to the a last time I saw them in 2016. Billie Joe Shaver is such a wonderful song writer and his shows are exciting and emotional. He might be the greatest country songwriter ever.
