  • Tell the truth. Do guitar companies pay you to say good things about them?
    As someone who is bad at guitar, did it make you nervous to start a RUclips channel about guitars?
    I thought you said to never buy anything from China, but you have an Eastman. Way to be a hypocrite.

    You deserve at least 100k subs. By far the most original guitar channel.

    Stumbled across your channel just a couple weeks ago. You’re very engaging. Keep up the good work. I’m on a similar trajectory with my guitar adventure. Except my hiatus was a tad longer. Well, actually it was a ridiculously long 30 years. But hey, I’m back! What style of music do you enjoy playing the most? Guilty pleasure band? Have you discovered Elixir strings yet? Thanks 🤘🏻

    • @guitarmovies
      @guitarmovies  3 года назад

      That's quite the hiatus! I guess what I play the most is some version of rock/pop/blues stuff. Guilty pleasure is Taylor Swift's 1989 (I hate myself for this). I definitely like Elixir strings but usually use Ernie Ball.

    Like you, I was really into cycling and bicycles. So much so, in 2013, I quit my day job and went to work learning the rope of the bicycle industry by working in a bike shop. In 2010 I opened my own shop. In 2011 I found it hard to find time to go riding so I commuted by bike 15 miles each way to my shop. In 2015, I on the weekends, the last thing I wanted to see was a bike. Long story short, in 2018 I closed my shop, sold my bikes and bought a pair of hiking boots for exercise. So, be careful. Not always a good thing to turn a passion into a job.

    Regarding the first question, I am gonna assume the asker meant no ill will by it. What's "good at guitar"? Good enough that I've followed an subscribed. Good enough that you are here. Where is their channel? From one guy that isn't good at guitar to another...I enjoy your content.

    Hello! Another great video! Btw.I am sorry for spamming every video you make with comments but I really appreciate them. Also, I was just wondering what is that half-built Telecaster in the background? It was in the last video as well, are you going to build another one or you took apart an old one? Thanks a lot and have a great day! 😊

    • @guitarmovies
      @guitarmovies  3 года назад +1

      Comment as often as you want! All of this is because I wanted to make a fun community of guitar people. The Tele in the background was the first electric guitar I bought a few years ago. It's a Mexican Standard. I've used it to try out different pickups, and right now it's just waiting for the next bit of surgery I do on it.

    You mentioned that you want to play more known songs instead of writing ones, but do you know if that will affect your monetization? I've been wondering this for a bit, and you seem like you would know.

    • @guitarmovies

      It would definitely affect it since music labels are insane about claiming revenue for everything they can.

    OK here’s my question I’m looking at a Gretsch 2215 it’s got a P 90 and the Gretsch humbucker on the back and it’s really good looking the one I’m looking at is kind of a mint green and I’m looking at a Epiphone Les Paul Junior or Special tv yellow and I like that new coronet by Epiphone I can’t decide between the three please help me. It would be great to see a shoot out between those 3 guitars .

    • @guitarmovies
      @guitarmovies  3 года назад

      I haven't played those Gretsch models before so I can't offer an real feedback, unfortunately. Personally, I'd probably go with the Special.
