Funny, I have never watched a video from Andy, but the KZfaq algos sent him my way tonight and that is the exact reason I am here watching your video. So with that said, thank you for your honest review and thank you for satisfying my curiosity after watching Andy's video.

The guitar content creator community on youtube is excellent right now. It's one of the only spaces where the content creators seem to work in unison, collaborate and create friendships through the medium instead of competing for top spot and tearing each other down.

​@@justmedeeits maybe more honesty now than for maybe 5yrs ago, but dont believe for a second they all are here for you. They are out for themselves. But I really respect what Mr. 6stringtv did with this video,but it was obvious, the thing was crap. Probably the worst guitar related thin I ever seen 🍟😼

@@RWulff007Events like 42 Gear Street exist as a space for us to network and make friends, and people who tear others down and treat this job as one big competition aren't welcome in that space. Calling us all "friends" is perhaps a bit of an overstatement, but I've likely spoken to any guitar content creator you can name, and am on good terms with them

Nah, it's a poorly designed product that costs a lot of money and doesn't fulfil it's promise. MUCH better off giving young beginners a real guitar, and you'll have enough money over to include a bunch of lessons for the same price. @@TrueDian

Nuh uh 😭

💀

Yikes

AAAAAAAH

Dont insult songsterr like that

excaly if it was for like $100 i would buy it just for fun

@@TheAndostro yeah or as Kaylen said it could either a toy for kids who wants to learn to play or something to make people who can’t play on a real guitar able to play music

That run on stock MIDI sounds xD

459 bucks, and it sounds like a guitar toy from the dollar store.

This is what I can't get over. My ibanez starter kit cost me 250 euros for a probably janky guitar and a surprisingly decent little amp and some addones like a stand, a strap and such. Granted, I figured out way too late to pay a luthier 60 euros to check it through and sure, the neck was turned way out of whack and that's why it was almost unplayable at first, lol. And sure, there are people calling the guitar terrible, and I"m sure I'll grow out of it eventually, but it's a great learning guitar.

I got it as a face tattoo

Pretty sure 'AUNT' was a typo.... 😀

Repent.

@@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252 Thanks, and to you as well.

A low tuning with light strings is just not possible

​@@n1troni toni iommi

@@LizordSword tony iommi had special strings made for him. Go to the nearest shop buy the lightest gauge and try to downtune to c#, idk maybe its me but i just cant downtune light strings. It wont stay in tune

If you have arthritis you should probably change your diet and do some physiotherapy and just get your health back and be able to do a lot of things you probably can’t instead of just switching out your guitar for an expensive replica of a real guitar.

​@@n1troni No he used banjo strings and later custom gauge but that was just with 8 gauge on e and b and then an 8 gauge B strings on the G and so on. It just wasn't commonly available in the 60s so banjo strings were a substitute. And if it won't stay in tune it's a problem ypu always have thin strings tuned down just make it more obvious. Probably not correctly filed nut slots, that's where the string usually catches. Always tune from below not above...

Yes, and for that price you will get a really nice guitar!

@@jerkerjansson386 yeah no kidding. spend 459 as a new person and you have a fairly good guitar from the start these days. this just feels like a weird niche product

​@@jerkerjansson386That's around what my Epiphone Les Paul pro 3 cost, and it's got coil splits and all kinds of cool stuff.

IKR! This thing totally negates one of the most basic things a beginner needs to develop - callouses!

Literally the worst guitar ever made, is good for at least the first 6 months, and that's a lot cheaper than this.

It is not.

HAHA. should tell people all they need to know right there

They're selling a "gitter" what do you expect.?

@@sixstringtv1 It isn't? I just saw Henning's video and I thought he said you can take the tuning up and down ...but then again, would it really matter, I don't think so, haha.

@@DerEchteBold it's essentially pitchshifting but no drop-tuning.

That would have worked imo.

Definitely

Brutal and VERY deserved.

that was the best part

That's a show I haven't thought of in many years.

Sounds like a great show!

@@eldoroonie wat

and this is your only drawback on this? 😂🤣

imo it's a big enough drawback, if each string had a dedicated synth, you could have unlimited possibilities😁

People shit on them on their own Instagram ads too and they just leave them up and respond with hearts and stuff lmao. Glutton for punishment

@@guidosaur7506even negative attention is attention (to those masochists). 😂

@@guidosaur7506 lol exactly

Guitars... the last bastion of change! 😃

@@kadiummusic the only innovation guitars need would be the guitar able to tune the tuners itself to anything the player wanted with a press of a button....and maybe somehow re-string itself lol. Other than that i think they function nearly perfectly in theory

Or slightly cheaper.

I dont think this thing even has midi outs...

Yeah, but isnt the whole point of a synth guitar is to create guitar sound without playing actual guitar?

So then it's not a capo, it's just a different tuning.

What a great piece of drama to ruminate with over the weekend. Andy handled it well

​@@thenextkurtwithout a doubt.

Where can I see the damage control?

@@JBrooksNYS a certain Guitar Geek received a legal threat and didn't name them but mentioned it's a Kickstarter. He shared their whole email

​@JBrooksNYS me too lol😅

It's actually a good product when applied properly by someone that knows what it was designed for and how to showcase it. This just demonstrates this guys (i.e sixstringstv) inept and tunnel vision.

Quick question: how is this supposed to help disabled people play?

@@Vexxel256 they don't have to press their fingers down hard like we had to do, and it's light weight

a keytar would do the same as this thing cheaper, better and with more versabilty

I'd rather have a keytar for those very reasons. And that's a different beast again.

Yeah, here from TheGuitarGeek

@@deejay7339same

@@deejay7339 Who doesn't have the integrity to name the brand.

@ doubt integrity has anything to do with it bud

lmao... just imagine if you went to watch a band at the local music bar and the guitarist walks out on stage with this. ahahaha. Edit: I am just looking at the strap pins really. I mean... Oh god. Surely it is just so you can be one with it better at home... in a seat. rofl.

Yeah I’ve seen ads on instagram and I immediately said what a piece of shit. And that was before I knew what it actually sounds like😂 like the top comment said it he really does have that songster tone

As someone who’s been playing nylon for about as long as I’ve been playing electric guitars, I wouldn’t advise nylon string guitars as a means for someone with a physical impairment to play the guitar. In theory they should be easier to play, but classical guitars have dead flat fingerboards and usually high action (“normal” classical action on a good playing instrument is very high by acoustic or electric standards; now *cheap* classicals are just within slide territory). You see, nylon strings vibrate more than metal ones, and classical players mostly focus on the first frets. The tonal clarity, sustain and resonance from higher action are more important than comfort; on the flip side, flamenco involves faster playing that is much too hard to execute with such high action, the resulting buzz being embraced as part of the sound. IMO, if you suffer from a disability that affects your ability to play the guitar, just get a well built normal guitar, and have it set up for light gauge strings (8s for instance) and action as low as possible. The guitar just needs to be well built enough so that the neck stays straight and the frets can be levelled by a competent luthier, no need for expensive gear - a used Ibanez, Yamaha Pacifica or a mid tier Harley Benton (a first gen Fusion can be bought for crazy cheap) can do. The cost of a fret job and a good setup is the best money a beginner can spend.

😊

Exactly the same product in a different shape. I actually still own a YouRock Guitar and it’s just as useful as this video shows. But I got it for maybe $100, and it was signed by Tom Morello.

I've got one, same construction with removable neck. They didn't even come up with an original design.

What an OG! Thanks for all the support! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

​@@sixstringtv1 me too, been here ever since Kelan Hughes featured you on his channel. I don't even play guitar but I want to start and am on the lookout for something good enough at an affordable price. I might have been conned into thinking this was usable back when I was a kid...

I was thinking even one of those Harley Benton ST-20 for around €100 will do just fine and then use the rest of the cash for actual lessons, from a real teacher. Guaranteed, the results will be far and away greater than whatever you can achieve with this thing.

I bought my Spanish guitar for 32 dollars (I live in Vietnam btw), and for what its worth, sitting in stock for who knows how long, it plays, sounds and feels very good, just that the action is a bit high (cheap guitars)

You kidding?! You can get an incredibly good/more than acceptable actual guitar for that price! I’ve only ever owned one guitar that was about $1,000 smackaroos. The rest have all been in that 300-500 range. And anytime I’ve felt dissatisfied with my time playing it was RARELY ever because of the guitar…

The first thing I thought; a decent Squire or Epiphone.

You can get a Mexican made Stratocaster for that much... with an amp 😂

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I came here to leave this same comment. Dude, keep it up. You have good ideas really good delivery and as you go on you're just going to get better. My favorite small channel. Wish you a great success.

Why does it say "paper jam" when there IS NO paper jam!!!

😂

I could get a Ibanez Soundgear 6 string with that and it’ll be worth the money… I think

Exactly hahah

I bought my 4yo a daisy 7/8s size guitar and that has been great. Unless they make this mini then even giving it to a child is not helpful 🤣 they shit the bed on this one for real.

Good news! The did change the price to $539! (I assume you left out a digit)

But again you wont learn how to play the guitar, so its $60 wasted

@@JosePineda-jn8jkmaaan I love the Daisy rock guitars! Where did you get it?

The difference is that he has documentation to show that he advised that he would not follow the "guidelines" if they sent it... they sent it anyway.

Andy wussed out reviewing it after being sent an email. Not sure I can trust him now knowing that he won't give something a negative review.

@@emerhanlon6282 Exactly! me neither

@@Alex_Martz Andy was even too scared to name the company. He seems too easily swayed by idle threats. Makes me wonder what other negative reviews he was afraid to post...

@@emerhanlon6282 I commented on his video criticizing him for being afraid on even naming the company and he or whoever manages his channel deleted my comments, I no longer watch his videos and unsubscribed, he always seemed too politically correct anyway so no surprise and no loss

Yes, before I realised ithat this thing is a really quite poor guitar controller (compared to, say, 1980s guitar controllers?) as opposed to some kind of teaching or learning aid, I did wonder if there would be LEDs in the "fretboard" but no, just down the edge of the neck. So, even _that_ aspect of it could have been done better!

"fretlight guitar" a past failed guitar!

Especially for the price

just use a normal guitar with a lighter string gauge and with preferably lower action

I got the same yourock guitar for 100$ and I use it for practicing, testing new sounds, record simple midi mélodies and the most amazing thing is writing on guitar pro detecting which fret and strings you play, also the TAP function would work well for some modern players, so yeah, they are selling you an even worse technology for five times the price 😂

@@mg2318 I use the tap function whenever I use an instrument like brass or wind! And bro even that Casio guitar from the 80s you see Ichika play sometimes is more advanced than that Aeroguitar lol

it's even less precise for MIDI tracking than it is for regular "playing", absolutely not

​@@sixstringtv1yep, just hit that part of the video right after I posted my comment. I figured that there'd be at least SOME practical application for this thing. I'm legitimately scratching my head at who funded this thing

That’s pretty cool !! Personally what I found helpful was to just play the damn instrument and grow the callouses.

Always go with Ernie Ball. Instead of months, talk years. You can even cook them in boiling water after five years and they'll sound like virtually new. Pay a bit more, end up spending less.

So the people who are saying it's perfectly fine for the intended use are liars? 🙄

@@kadiummusic yes👍 It's clearly useless as anything other than a very expensive toy and if you watch the videos it's not even very good in game "mode" 🙄🤣

There is controversy, bloggers will get more traffic, guitar companies will be abandoned by users, this is the final outcome

That’s a good one. I have to admit

Could go very light gauge strings, thin neck and very low action would could help

A well set up classical guitar 3/4 scale would be an option

@MexiNorge - completely agree except for the incredibly stupid price. Criminal price for..........

How about giving that relative a student-guitar and telling him about Django Reinhardt? That should be very inspiring for them.

Word

I picked up a Roland GR-707 and Casio DG-20 at a garage sale 10-12 years ago for $200. They were worth about exactly that.

Yes. Billy String has been playing one live lately and it soundS WAY better than this despite being 40 years older.

@@Cue-Ball. Yeah I watch LMNC and this museum is not obselete, the tracking on them is not the best, the MIDI pickups fitted to a guitar is the way to go IMO.

Just get an Orange combo-amp. Stop crying. Be happy!!

@@Bukkie661 Any way you slice it, an Orange am is NOT a JCM800. Not even close, and never will be. NOTHING comes close to the sound a JCM800 produces. That's not to say there aren't other amazing sounding amps out there, but for the sound I had, there certainly isn't. Besides, if I were to spend a bunch on a new amp, it wouldn't be an Orange. It would be a EVH 5150III

@@pumpkinheadghoul That's why there are so many brands, so that everybody can be happy! That said though, the classic British Invasion sound isn't for everybody, though it should be possible to achieve any sound that you want with a good Orange set-up. It then would still be cheaper with an eye to the Fender sound that you're gunning for. Fender-andies pay too much for brand-stickers on stuff, really.

Chalk this down to “idea that looks good on paper”

Please don't insult the Sega Genesis like that.

Oh thank god, it would sound as bad as
