Show D'Addario that love, check out the XPND pedalboard here ddar.io/samurai1

Now that Sammy read the harpad fake quote out loud, it became a real quote and they never have to change it.

I definitely want to see a "bottom 5" list. I want to see the jellyfish pick return

Imagine if the Worst list is the Jellyfish pick 5 times and he just finds a new thing to hate every time he counts down

Nice to see all the good gadgets together in one video. The 12-string one sounded especially legit text text text text. Nice to see all the good gadgets together in one video. The 12-string one sounded especially legit text text text text.

I also carry a Plumbus with me to every gig. Couldn't perform without it. Best thing I own

I'm expecting the 5 worst guitar gadgets to include only the Jellyfish pick. In 5 different colors.

We need companies to donate some new guitar accessories to Steve so he can make more of these videos.

I bought the Picasso Guitar Bow a few months ago. It's such a unique tool. A lot of reverb & delay goes along way with it. Gives it a little more sustain. I use mine with a Boss RC-300 so I'm able to stack multiple tracks and harmonize.

Pirate rock is now a genre I need to explore more.

the chordinero is basically a cheat code for open string math rock stuff and I'm loving it. Add trying to combine it with weird tunings and you basically have a whole new instrument!

Genuine question. If you weren't aware of the existance of the "guitar triller", and you heard that track you wrote, what would you think it was used to make that sound, and/or how would you recreate it? I'm curious.

I know that deep down you really love the Jellyfish pick because no matter how many times you throw it away, it always shows up again.

I love the song you created for the Harpad. Belongs in a boss battle of a video game.

The triller reminds me of Tony Levin's "Funk Fingers" -- he sawed off two drumsticks, affixed velcro to strap them to his two plucking fingers, then went to town. He actually recorded some some songs with it (eg, Peter Gabriel's "Steam") en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_fingers

Would love to see how the the mix between some gadgets would sound, like the Passerelle Bridge with the Pickasso Bow and maybe some other weird combinations, maybe it turns out nice

I absolutely love the passerelle! It's not gimmicky at all after you get used to it and learn the techniques. For example Alexandr Misko managed to produce an extremely technical and beautiful cover of the theme from Titanic. I've also made a few videos imitating the sound of the guzheng or koto, along with a short tutorial video. I am having so much fun with it!

My Personal Thoughts: Spoilers btw (lol duh) The Guitar Triller: As a percussionist myself, this thing is actually really cool. I love the articulation you can get with it. The Pickaso Bow: After so many years of gadgets failing to make your guitar sound like a violin, I’m glad someone finally got it right. Well done, Pickaso. Very well done. The Harpad: This thing seems really useful. It looks like it can help your guitar sound more full .text text text text This thing seems really useful. It looks like it can help your guitar sound more full .text text text text The Passarelle Bridge: I love the sound of a Koto, and the fact that you can make your guitar sound like one with this is amazing. The Chordinero Capo: I absolutely agree. This thing is by far the best gimmicky guitar gadget ever. Like you said, having to rethink the layout of your instrument all because of an open tuning is a huge hassle, and definitely can’t be fun. This thing fixes that, and it does even more. I’d love to get one for myself.

Chordinero is a Songwriters dream. I want it now. Also, that pirate rock thing kinda had some polyphia vibes and also kinda reminds me of fairy tail, I want a full version of that

I don't think we've ever heard our guitars played quite like this... until now! Thanks for opening our minds, Sammy G 🤯

That trilly plastic thing lets the hammer bounce off the string. I think that's what those piano mimicking devices lack. The hammer rebound.

I love that Sammy G doesn't only show the thing and go "Is good!", but tries to show how it could be used in a musical setting...

Thanks for pronouncing D'Addario correctly.

7:20 Sweet home Alabama is now Sweet home Kanagawa

I like how he throws away the jellyfish pick every time only for it to show up in the next guitar gadget video 😄

I have all 3 versions of the Chordinero and it is far and away the best tool for a guitarist. Whether is on an acoustic baritone, an acoustic 8 string, an electric 8 string, or a lefty 6 on a 9 string, it’s amazing. Highly recommend it it everyone.

You should make a song using all of them combined. That would truly be a sight to behold.

I would love to see you play with the chordinero capo, the Japanese sounding bridge thing, and the bow all at once

I like how you give the toys a fair shot, not just dink around with them and claim they suck, as many others do.

Man! Pirate Rock really is your genre!! I need a full album of your stuff, aye! Captain!

Pedro Aznar one of our best Argentinian musicians, has a song called Muñequitos de Papel, which is all played with a similar "gadget" to the triller, a screwdriver! It sounds exactly the same (except that he plays bass), but it is definitely worth a listen.

Kaki King and Samuraiguitarist - now that's a collab we need to see.

man, time really flies. The first gimmicky guitar gadgets video introduced me to your channel yet here we are

Duuuude you missed out on huge combination song using all of those together 🤘 I'm still waiting for "violin" to kick in on the pirate theme =) While typing this it could actually ve your next collab. Challenge Paul and others and send them your gimmick selection of the year to see what they come up with!

if you do end up continuing the series, you could do gimmickey guitar gadgets combined, like I'm fairly sure the pickaso and the passerelle bridge would sound awesome together :)

The tone you dialed in for the Chordinero presentation sounds sooo good. Would totally hear it in some post rockish music. Great vid as usual 🖤

Great video! Looking forward to concluding the series with the top 5 works of all time!

One good use I can think of for the Pickaso Bow is using it to imitate Jimmy Page’s bow use without destroying an actual cello bow.

Would have been cool to hear The Allman Brothers use the Pasarelle Bridge, sounds like it would have been perfect for them.

That Koto bridge thing absolutely needs to be used on an 8 string, or even a 9 string guitar.

This video was brilliant! A bunch of gadgets I’d never have known nor cared about and you showed how they could all be useful. Brilliant

i really dig what you’ve done with the harpad. sounds so good

It's been a minute since I've watched your videos and now I'm having a blast binging all the new ones

7:15 I hope I don't leave the wrong impression when I say this, but if you are titled "the samurai guitarist" then this attatchment pairs well with your channel. (I would love to get one too if I played more accoustic)

That piece you put together with the Chordinero was really good!!

The best gimmicky guitar gadget I own is a boss ds1 that someone painted and named the "BMW boost"

"Bottom 5 worst gadgets" has KZfaq Short written all over it

I really like your mini prog rock composition for the harpad, I would pay to hear a full version! Also it made me think that the only reason I've had a love affair with prog rock is to replicate the way I felt listening to Yes as a kid, but now I think I'll never be able to :(

The harp pad had me thinking about the fretboard explorer harp rail. Might be a little late if we're coming to the end of this series, but I've really enjoyed mine. Rather than the extra set of strings set over the neck to make it a '12-string' this rail clamps on the body and adds drone strings. Saw your video about the Emerald Synergy X-20 - this is similar but is a conversion device for a regular acoustic guitar.

The ‘Sammy G pays his bills’ progress bar got me to not skip the ad. You’re great at what you do, keep it up brother!

I would die for a compilation of all of your improvised tunes with information about what inspired it! It would be a great sample of a ton of interesting styles :)

Hey! Thank you so much Samurai! Glad to have you in our creative family!! 🤟

Man, all those compositions were really good but they last one deserves to be a full song!

My "gimmicky" guitar gadget that I own is a capo that helps change strings on me acoustic

This series is was what got me into guitar three years ago, thanks sammy g

Man!! Your compositions are out of this world. Very unique.

The guitar triller can be done with a drumstick to a point. Sigur Ros uses a drumstick on bass guitar in their song "hafsol".

I had a box with springs that would make an acoustic guitar sound like it had reverb. It was fun, but I knew I would never play out with it - and I would never rehearse with it either - so I sold it. It sold surprisingly quicly. Then I saw two more at auction so I snatched them up and sold them too. Thank goodness. It would have been embarrassing to end up with TWO of them when I was trying to clean out my closet.

As soon as you started using that pickaso bow i got flashbacks to beginner violin class... Sent shivers down my spine xD

Aside from the gadgets, I loved hearing the massive range of styles you can play. Very cool!

Fun list, Sammy! Well done, and I may end up getting a few of those. The XPND pedal board seems legit. Also, a bottom 5 list would be pretty fun(ny)

Great little riff thing you played for #3. Not gonna lie that melody blew me away.

the part you played for the harpad was really great. would love a full version of that

If there were a way to make the paserelle bridge move up and down the neck, that would be amazing. All of these gadgets are cool as hell! Thanks! 😁

Usually when an ad pops up I go skip, skip, skip. But the timer made me giggle so I watched it.

Thank you so much! These gadgets are so fun to use.

I need that Chordinaro. As soon as you showed it on screen I knew it was made to take your arpeggios to the next level.

Rhe Chordinero is beyond amazing!! Brings you to new tonal landscapes in seconds. Love it!!

I absolutely love that prog-rock ditty with the Harpad!

I've actually seen Yvette Young use the Chordinero. It's awesome.

Loved the Sweet Home Okinawa demo!

The extendable pedalboard looks like it deserved a place in the ranking. Congrats on the sponsorship

I love that you always flick the jellyfish pick in the same way.

These actually were all pretty cool. I’d like to see how many of them work with bass too. The ebow is great especially with a fretless but it can be tricky for short quick notes so that picasso bow might be able to solve this issue.

That song at the end was very Canadian. I loved it. pretty cool gadget.

Some very clever ideas and you did great demonstrations. Wow

Kaki King rules. A friend of my sisters that we grew up with dated Kaki back when her career was taking off. She was super cool and generous with the money she was suddenly making. When she performed on David Letterman, she brought all their friends along. So my sister got to come with. They were picked up by a limo, spent the night at a five star hotel, and hung out backstage of the David Letterman show.

This was fun :) Thank you Samurai!

That pseudo 12 string prog song sounded awesome.

gotta say, you really showed off the Chordinero's high points. that was the best sounding pirate rock anyone ever played.

Damn that electric guitar looks so gorgeous. I had a hard time paying attention to the gadgets because I was admiring the guitar haha

pickasso bow + passerelle bridge is basically a new instrument, it's a guitar but with enough bridge to play individual strings with a bow. Seems super neat.

I love how you make up Random weird genres and they just sound amazing Also I would’ve never thought to use the weird bridge thing For country music awesome

The triller has some unique sounds that can come with it if you let it bounce you can get some interesting double, triple etc strums quicker than a finger could

Yo what that Harpad clip was insane that sounded awesome

1:00 that plumbus killed me 😂😂

The Guitar Triller is a dulcimer hammer, pretty much. Very cool idea. Sounded super nifty!

Great to see you playing in styles you don't usually indulge in

Loved this. The perfect video. Subscribed.

Just noticed the “Sami pays his bills time” bar at the bottom, nice one Sami 👍

Am I the only one who wants a full version of that last song? That shit slapps.

I quite enjoyed these jams. Thank you Sammy G!

you can combine the guitar triller and the passerelle bridge to mimick a hammered dulcimer! Aaah, now I wanna know what it'd sound like! Also that harpad solo was sick

These guitar gadget videos are literally the only content of yours I watch

The pirate rock tune was cool! Great vid thanks

the first one would sound sick if you tried it using that tosin abasi selective picking style technique. sick video man! thanks for the cool content

omg the harpad quote, you are hilarious🤣👍

This video is amazing! I love these gadgets!

I am so getting the expandable pedal board for my birthday! Oof! I’m so excited!

I 'd love to get my hands on one of those brown pedals!
