What was your first guitar?
BTW, don't miss the jam at 10:51... it's a tasty one
A Squier stratocaster also nice ween shirt
acoustic guitar
An old beaten down kids acoustic, two of the strings were broke when I got it.
Cort g220
a shitty Les Paul imitation, i still have it!
Look at us all here. All together, all of us in love with a piece of wood with strings. Whether we’re world class, or just beginners.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
How high are you?
Nicely said
Or even if we don't play at all. I'm just here to taste some notes.
@@AD1978leo nicely said
I think people often have more nostalgia for their second guitar. that's the one you choose when you have survived the perseverance wall and know a bit about what you like about an instrument.
Absolutely. My first was a Squire that fell apart out of the box. My second one was a James Hetfield LTD Truckster. THAT'S the guitar I wish I still had :)
Yeah I have to agree with that
@@powerchord8497 holy shit thats a heck of a jump
Agreed. My first guitar was a cheap beginner Strat knockoff. My second guitar was a real Fender Strat, which I still own today and it's my favorite guitar.
@@malignanttrog yup. Fuck continuing to buy cheap crap.
Dude, I really appreciate this. It did bring a tear to my eye for more than one reason. I was so lucky, so spoiled. My dad was a musician, so I had a better start than most. My first guitar was an early 60s Fender Duo-Sonic that my dad gave someone gas money in exchange for during the oil embargo in the '70s. I am a bit lost now though. At the beginning of this year, I lost everything I owned to a fire, including all of the modern instruments I had collected over the years as well as all of the vintage instruments that I inherited from both my dad and my dad's uncle..... 10s of thousands of dollars worth of all kinds of music gear.... instruments going back to the turn of the last century.... it was like losing my family again. I can't describe to you what I've been through, but I'm penniless now and don't own a single instrument. It literally hurts my heart to talk about. I am supposed to receive a heart monitor in a couple of days because of what it's done to me physically. I don't know how I could ever rebuild. If I described to you what I lost or sent some of the pictures, you'd cry, too.
You should start a gofundme telling your story. Post it on reddit and I'm sure you'll get some donations. Hope all works out for you friend.
That is so sad, i hope things get better, ill be praying for you 🙏
ahh man im sorry that happened to u!
I can't imagine the day I lost my six strings as well man... They're part of me now... Literally. Sorry for all your loss man😢😢
fuck brother that hurt my heart to read that.... im so sorry u had to go through that.... i hope you got atleast 1 new fender to jam out on... im kinda speechless i own 2 epiphone les paul 1 50s style gold top standard and 1 slash afd and if i lost either of them id die ( because its not the material of the instruments its the memorys and bond we build with them) so i couldnt even imagine the pain of losing all those beautiful instruments
7:26 .... Such an inspiring song!!!
Btw, that's quite a badass sound coming from a small amp.
Yeah wtf, usually the "beginner" guitars are a scam in this way, they convince you (or your parents) that you're getting a deal because "it's all in there" and while the guitar mitht be okay the amp is usually a piece of shit. This one is actually decent if he actually used that amp for the video lol
I wish they had “beginner packs” that sounded this good in 1986!
@@aw2584 yea
Anyone else think "hol' up, that's banana yellow, not off white."
It's waaaay off white
Yea it looked yellow when he took it out but when he did the close up it looked like a kinda creamy white color.
Most likely the camera. Cameras tend to have issues displaying certain colors/tones of colors.
He was just talking about the guitar that he used to have
@@lukaslmguitarcorner lol
Tyler: remembers his first solo from like 15 years ago.
Me: has no idea what I played 5 seconds ago
ikr, i dont have any idea what i was playing when i started
The first thing I played on guitar was smoke on the water on the g string, now I can play it on the d and the g string
@@ikerinhoxd_osu bruh that’s pretty good. See if you can get good enough to play it on the a string
I loved my first guitar SO much! My parents bought it for me my freshman year of high scool. Over the years I super modified it. It was a black 90s alder body squire that I sanded to a natural finish with nitro lacquer, replaced the neck with an American Fender strat neck, replaced the bridge and tuners with vintage style Fender parts, and put in vintage custom shop pickups. It was to this day the best playing guitar that I have ever played!! Sadly it was stolen back in 2007 😥 I have been working ever since to recreate that masterpiece, but to no avail.
May I ask you a question? How did you sand it to a natural finish? I've been wanting to buy an Epiphone Casino, but since the natural finish is too expensive, I just wanna buy a black one and sand it, but I don't really know how
I knew by age 3 that I wanted to be a musician. As maybe cheesy as it may sound. My family and I where watching a concert VHS tape of Billy Ray Cyrus and the song Achy Braky Heart was on. I turned to my mom and dad and said I want to play the guitar and dad can play the drums. At age 5 I got my very first guitar. It was a beginners HORNER CLASSICAL GUITAR. Since then 27 years later I never never looked back. Guitar was my outlet. Through private lessons from a kid all the way through high school going into college for music. I got my Bachelors Of Music In Guitar Performance in 2013. For the past 3 years now I opened and own my own business guitar lesson studio.
@ Dan Shedore: That is not cheesy at all. I was singing "A Horse with No Name," by America, word for word, at the top of my lungs, when I was 3 years old. My parents bought me my first "toy" guitar when I was around 5. I actually got my first real guitar and started taking lessons at 9. I was in my first band at 15. I am 52 years old now and I am still playing everyday, and teaching when I have time. Never give up your passion and keep on playing. You only live once.
wow thats awesome dude! you've been playing since 5 years old! im only 13 rn in the first few weeks of playing on acoustic but i wish i picked it up earlier.
When your home is basically a guitar store so you have to find your original guitars.
Wish I could relate
I mean I could just look at the wall and see it
Heh, I've been told my room looks like a guitar museum, being filled with electric guitars that are mostly older than 2005, many from the 80s and 90s. About 20 here with 10 more in storage.
So yeah sometime I gotta root around to find a specific guitar if its something I don't use too often. I have a dozen that is currently in my playing or building rotation.
@@TheGhostGuitars That is a lot!
@@RC32Smiths01 Yeah, mind ye tho, I didn't spend a lot on them. Many I got for less than a 150$. Some was under $250. The ones I really like to play are, perhaps unsurprisingly, are mostly the most recently acquired ones that costed me 300-390$US.
Most of the sub-150$ guitars are almost all project guitars. The sole exception is the 2000-ish Chinese made Austin AU-731 strat I got for 120$, it's one of my fave players AND is my third ever electric guitar I've bought. It's in very good condition and was previously used/owned by a local musician. It has this bright warm tone, that's unmatched by any other guitar in my herd. A contradiction in terms, I know, but methinks that's due to the combination of the hard/dense (and HEAVY) chinese elm body, rosewood fretboard, maple neck plus the medium-hot ceramic pups.
My other players are mostly higher level guitars like the 2013 Indonesian-made Ibanez S420-BK HH, 1992 Fender Mex Standard Strat SSS, 2007 Fender Japanese Standard Strat SSS, 2000 Korean Squier Stagemaster HSH Deluxe, 2012 Agile AL-3010SE a LP, 1993 MIJ Jackson JRR-94 Concept V, 1984 Taiwan Yamaha SC-300T, 1980s MIJ Samick SOB-PJ-WH Shorty PJ-Bass, 1980s MIJ Cort Flying V, 1980s MIJ "Concert" Jazzmaster (which I actually bought for just 35$, but have since put in about 300$ worth of hardware upgrades), and the most recently acquired Firefly FF-338-BB semi-hollow with 2009 Gibson BB3/57 Classic pups installed.
I'm currently working on a 2010 Epiphone Les Paul Pee Wee 1H, 1980s Stage CS-327 SSS strat and a hybrid 1988 Epiphone S-Series neck on a 1985-87 Kramer Voyager HHH body. Next, I'll start work on a 1986 Aria Pro II "The Cat" HSS and a 1986 Charvel Model 4 HSS. Later, the 2008 ESP LTD AX-50-BF and the 1998 Ibanez SR406-NT 6-String Bass will have their turn on the work bench.
Whenever my friends ask me why I kept my first guitar and beg me to acknowledge it’s shitty I’m just like “yeah but it’s *my* shitty guitar”😊🎸
Exactly! I will never ever ever get rid of my first bass, it’s my first, it’s my baby.
@@deadchannelseriouslyitsdea9776 I'm learning on an Ibanez GSR100-ish... thing. One that sat in a shed for two years, truss rod is maxed out, frets are kind of crap, and I'm feeding it through a cheap pocket amplifier and a surround sound system.
But I've rigged it up enough to play on. And I don't have to fight it. So it's good enough for me :)
It's called never forgetting where you came from.
Yep that's 100% correct. Still have my first electric too. I think it may be made of wood don't hold me to that though 🙂
I remember the first solo I learned. I was a huge RHCP fan at the time and I was so proud of myself when I learned the solo to Californication.
Yooo same, the first song I learned was californication
Didn’t get to learn this as a beginner, but RHCP was one of the bands that made me go out and get my rig…RIP Hillel Slovak✊
I've started with master of puppets. Because i was mad at that song and my only aim was to play it flawlessly and after 2 years of tremendous work finally i can Play it .
Post a video man
First song I ever learned was brain stew by Green Day. That was about a month ago. Wish me luck everyone
Edit: thank you everyone for the kind responses and wishes I will keep this updated
Edit 2: Over the last week or two. I’ve learned the wa “riff” of bulls on parade by rage against the machine, most of my own worst enemy by lit, Polly by nirvana (on my acoustic of course), and last but by no stretch least (and for that matter what I’m most stoked on...) the dammit riff. Thanks again for all the kind words everyone. (Another note Tom delonge is probably my biggest inspiration along with Billie joe ofc)
Edit 3: check latest comments
Edit 4: ive moved to singing and playing every Green Day song I know, and I’m getting into learning some smashing pumpkins songs… problem is those guitar solos have a lot of alternate picking of single strings, as do a lot of solos, and for whatever reason that’s really difficult for me. But I’m still having tons of fun, thanks everyone!
My first riff too.. just started teaching my cousin how to play & made sure that was his first riff too
Good luck though & never stop. Guitar will piss you off more than anything at first but once you get over that little hump it’s so worth it. Rock on brother
You'll probably hit a wall of progression soon where you feel like your skills have plateaued and you aren't getting better. We all go through this and some of us go through it multiple times but remember, you ARE getting better whether you realize it or not. There were some songs I struggled with when I began so I chucked them aside to learn something else. Came back to those other songs and they were a breeze.
Do the work as well don't try and find shortcuts you'll spend more time looking for shortcuts that don't exist than actually playing.
@@user-mz8ib7oi4c could you give me some examples so I can catch myself if I try and a I can avoid it?
Me :forgets what i had for breakfast
Tyler: remembers note for note that one solo from that one guy 20 years ago
🤣
I mean if you were to spend ages specifically memorising what you had for breakfast, you’d probably get the same effect
@@ch1nmus1c16 I’ll keep that mind tomorrow morning
This exact Donner is my first guitar. Just got it from amazon. Its sounds really good out of the box, even in my green hands.
This video was a trip
The first song I ever learned was from Black Sabbath and the song was "Iron Man". I learned it from the legend, Marty Music. I'm glad I picked up a guitar. My first guitar was a 2009 First Act GJ
Broooooooooooo That was one of my first songs to learn too but my real first was paranoid then it was iron man, I was a little nerdy black sabbath fangirl back then

"Son, we are glad you like your first guitar, but CAN YOU PLEASE TURN THAT SHIT DOWN?!"
Back in about 1991, a buddy of mine and I were jamming in my parents' garage, he was a drummer. We decided to put a little tape recorder out. Then some lady decided to come and gripe at us. So I ended up with a tape of us playing, then trailing off as you hear a voice going "Excuse me, could you turn it down please?"
I thought "if I make it, this will be on an album somewhere."

Him: *wanting off white*
*shows guitar*
me: oh that sucks it ended up being yellow
him: oh my goddd it’s the same guitar *cries*
me: *trying to see how he sees white*
It's the color of butterscotch pudding. It's more yellow than TV Yellow.
Thats what I'm thinking man! Is he like color blind or color deficient? Cause that guitar is literally yellow.

i turn around and it's behind me about 4 meters away on my guitar rack
@@mikekellogg7075 Its a sponsored video, I just watched a video of another guitarist that reviewed the same guitar
I just watched Darryl reviewing it.
Listening to you talk for The first couple minutes brought back some feels for me. Guitar was my only buddy for a time. It gave me identity.
started playing about 2 weeks ago my first riff was tastes like teen spirit
update: I got a mustang in may last year and been really getting into metal
I've been practicing every day ever since starting
i joined a band about 2 months ago
i feel like guitar really improved my life in many aspects
It’s so off-white, that it could almost be its own color. If only there were a name for it...
Purple?!! Well it's closer than his 'off white'😁
Oh maybe YELLOW

Feels nice watching you relive your memories. Maybe I'll get my first electric guitar soon. I'll be waiting for that day.
First thing I learned was the chorus to Epic, FNM! Thanks for sharing this moment, Tyler!
I thought you were somehow manage to get your hands into your real first guitar bruh
@Hunter Duke he got a pack from a company and asked for off white
@@cristopherrivas4460 He clearly sais couple of times he did NOT ask for the off white, it was just a happy coincidence.
I thought you would search for YOUR actual first guitar.
Like Rob Chapman did
same here, but still a cool video
Clickbait
yea same
Yeah this seemed like a reason to partner with Donner more than anything. Not knocking the guy. I also really like money but it was a sneaky attempt.
I just bought my first guitar 2 months ago, a beautiful Harley Benton ST in Matt black with the pickplate in red-ish, haven't had no music teacher (yet, seriously considering getting one) but I felt the feeling of unpacking and unwrapping the guitar here like I felt it 2 months ago. Maybe in a few years I'll get back to this video somehow, and feel the same feeling again. Keep up with the great content and much love from Portugal
My first guitar left a hell of an impression on me. 12 year old me rocked a Squier Strat starter kit. Poplar body in classic tobacco sunburst finish, red wavy pickguard, three pickups, three way switch, master, volume, and tone knob, a whammy bar, a sort of polished maple neck and rosewood fretboard, and a strap with a little Fender amp. Over the years, I've been through a dozen guitars, from Ibanez, Peavey, Epiphone, Cort, ESP, PRS, and lastly, my Yamaha Pacifica 612 VIIFM. Comparing it to photos of the old squier, they look nothing alike, just a similar color scheme, yet the Pacifica gave me a powerful feeling of nostalgia. You never truly forget where you come from, I guess
Wait, there are people who didn’t start on a cheap off brand second hand nylon string acoustic?
I started with a kramer focus 3000
This is me.
i started on a second hand axl player deluxe
I started on acoustic nalskdkskckdjx

Thank gosh I wasn’t the only person who started off with electric guitar and not a acoustic
I started with an acoustic but i wish i had started with an electric. It was pretty much a waste of time and i could have started to learn electric earlier
@@dominikweber4305 same, but i really went devoted on the strat more than the acoustic.
@@dominikweber4305 well it doesn’t matter if you’re still playing songs on the guitar, you still get to learn more on the acoustic
@clockers play some off the unplugged album! But I completely understand where you are coming from.
@clockers unplugged is a lot of accoustic right?
my first riff was "hold back the rivers" and i still know it by heart. Thanks for that memory Tyler.
i learnt my first riff today its on my channel tell me what u think im still a starter player but yh :)
The Majora's mask in the background brings me nastalgia
I’ve just started guitar, my uncle is my inspiration I remeber going round his house and sitting just watching him play in awe , he gave me his first guitar from when he started playing , it’s nothing special but I am just in love with learning and can’t wait to get to a stage where I can buy my first guitar and feel proud
Stick in. You won't regret it.
I started playing a strat copy 8 years ago... a month ago I bought my first gibson Les Paul Standard and the feeling is awesome! Keep playing!
Same with me. My uncle has played for years and he and my grandpa sent me a pretty nice Ibanez. I started in august. Having a lot of fun
my first riff or "maybe all guitartist riff" : SMOKE ON THE WATER
I learned Smoke on The Water 2 years after I started guitar lol, I was just never interested in the song
Lol
First riff i learned was sweet child o mine intro😂
Lol the first song I learned was nothing else matters
Can relate😂😂
Wow amazing . just watching him relive his fast guitar experience is reminding me of my fast guitar with is still my guitar right now . Beautiful 😇😇
Hearing "Daddy's Junky Music" is plenty nostalgic for me, being from Connecticut and starting playing guitar in the late 90's. So awesome!
Who wants to see an updated studio tour? I would really love to see one, it's been a while!! By the way, you are such a great guitarist and have inspired me so much!! Thanks Tyler!!
Mine is a Takamine. Just touching it makes me feel like, well, me. I don't frickin know how to put it into words.
My first guitar was a takamine as well which is really kinda classy for a first a guitar. I still play her every single day
its a weird feeling yeah my first guitar has holes in the frets so it isn lt playable at all but just seeing her makes me remember all the memoriess
Same! A Takamine Jasmine. Then I later saved up in high school for a Takamine G series! Now due to a severely bad back I’m trying to save money (I’m disabled on SSI) for a 3/4 guitar so I can play again.
It feels like home?
Can you connect it to amp
I dont remember the exact first rif but cat scratch fever was one of the first. Your an excellent player, love the videos man.
My first guitar was just about the same as yours. Mine was the Epiphone Les Paul special beginners pack. I think it came with a 15 watt amp, cable, and gig bag but thats it. I really wish i still had it just to showcase. I got it for my 11th birthday. Best birthday present ever!!
My first riff: "Last Resort" by Papa Roach. I think my teacher taught me the wrong way but I didn't care. I played that riff over and over and over. I drove my parents crazy to the point where to this day, my dad still makes jokes about it.
The first song I ever learned on my first guitar was sad by bo Burnham.. really good song
Me too bro
I was kinda expecting an egg shell color when you said “off white” but it looks more egg yolk colored

Gotdam the solo at the end🔥👏🏽this is the last bit of proof I need. U definitely don’t need expensive gear to make good music🤙🏽
I still have the 1983 Takamine model GX-100 "Explorer" red/black electric guitar that I bought brand new (with case) when I was 15. It was not my first guitar, but it plays so well that I could never give it up. The guitar also still looks like new, with just a couple of small chips in the body's corners. Takamine only made electric guitars for 2 years, so I guess the guitar is kind of a collector's item now. I am 52 years old, so I have had this guitar for quite a long time. The Takamine is part of my current guitar collection, and I still play it quite often. The guitar came stock with some pretty hot DiMarzio pickups, but I have added some Grover locking tuners, and new "Pots" over the years. The Takamine plays as well as, or better than, some guitars that cost 10+ times what it did when new. I will never part with the guitar.
I still own my first guitar after 15 years, sitting in it's dusty gig bag under the bed. Thanks Grandma for setting me down this path.
Billie Joe Armstrong still owns his first guitar after almost 40 years
Did we all just have really cool grandparents who just had a fender w/ amp in their shed?

My first guitar was a used Peavey T-60. Got it from my parents for Christmas. The following year on my birthday I got a 50W MusicMan amp. I still have both. Been about 10 years since I played live with the Peavey, but they will both be with me forever. 🤘😎
That song at the end totally had the Vinnie Moore meltdown album feel. Very badass.
Clever you, turning off the volume everytimd to hide that humming sound.
@Bad Boys Boogie I still have to do that 😭
Deffo relate to this, what I do is turn off the tone pot or like 1 or 2, given I have a half decent guitar and trash amp
@Bad Boys Boogie I have a Boss Katana mark ii 100 watt and absolutely love it. You are able to play at lower output with a knob...and at the full 100 setting it can play a gig. I love all the tones you can get with just the amp itself and you can download tones other people have created by using the app. I also have a spark amp for practice...it’s great for beginners as it has your pedals and different amp types built in and you can download tons of settings other people have setup. You can also search a song to find the tones for it and you can have a backing track play through the amp to play along with among many other features.
@Bad Boys Boogie wait we don’t do that anymore? I’m outdated...
My first guitar, that I still own to this day, is a gray Fernandes electric. I love it so much.
I never actually bought a guitar until I was well into adulthood. Everything I had, with the exception of one Boss pedal, was a hand me down from my brother who taught me to play. He started playing when he was 13 and when he was halfway through college at De Paul University school of music, majoring in Jazz guitar, he dropped guitar all together and switched to jazz piano. All his gear was now mine to use. He had a Charvel Strat with humbuckers, but he sold his late 80’s Paul Reed Smith to buy a mid 60’s Gibson ES-175. His jazz guitar. So, the Charvel was now mine but I couldn’t touch the Gibson even though he wasn’t using it. Once I started to get the hang of playing, I started using the Gibson whenever I could. I pretty much learned to play on that guitar. I say my brother taught me to play guitar, but that’s not exactly true. He taught me how to teach myself guitar. He showed me the basics, mostly about technique, and the rest was just “go figure it out”. So, he has taken formal music lessons from teachers as far as one can go. I’m the complete opposite. I learned from guitar magazines. I know next to nothing about the textbook academic side of guitar. Scales, modes, harmony, theory. I barely know the notes up and down the neck, but I can play almost every song on Electric Ladyland. Now I play the guitar over there on my profile pic.
how lucky am i that i literally still have my first guitar, and im never getting rid of it, it was a gift from my grandfather who passed away around 7 years ago, the guitar means so much to me and i have so many memories with it
I'll never forget my first guitar. A Squier Affinity Strat pack. I never put that thing down and it was incredible. Obviously, I knew nothing, so the thing that will always stick with me is it came with a headstock tuner and I didn't know what the headstock was so I put the tuner on the first string ON THE NECK! Long story short, I felt pretty stupid😭😂

This is my favorite video of yours. I bought a Conn acoustic from a pawn shop when I was 16. Beautiful blonde wood front and back. It accompanied me everywhere and was instrumental (pun intended) in a girlfriend or two. I've bought and sold a few acoustics and electrics since then, but this has and will be with me until I someday pass it on. We don't own our guitars, we're just lucky enough to make some magic with them during our time on earth.
Its like owing a ps5? Nah..owing a musical instrument is like love of your life!! 🤘🤘
I agree!
Unconditional love
I DISAGREE!!!!!!! Oh ... wait... first "Guitar", I was gonna start saying my pawn shop Vantage Strat copy was TERRIBLE for a first guitar, the intonation was abhorrent. I forgot though my first guitar was my grandfather's Degas classical but with steel strings on it and playing it since I was like 3 did absolutely create the vibes in me you're saying...
fk that vantage though, my parents should have bought a squire :)
that’s painful to hear, what do you play on now?

My first ‘real’ guitar was a Vantage Les Paul style from the late 70’s and it was awesome. I still have it and it plays great. :)
My first guitar was also a Cort. Off white, Strat style. Mine was given to me by my uncle on my 13th birthday. He had it since the 80’s.
This is my first electric guitar that I just bought recently, and is my 2nd ever guitar and this just made me more excited!
The ending solo proves... You don't need costly gears.... All you need is a 100 dollar guitar.... I think i have to now get a 100 dollar guitar to play like him
Yes it does. I had my expectations low at the start but i was amazed by the end!
You can play well on anything but that "anything" may not stand up to the playing. That Donner wouldn't stand up to regular use the way he played it at the end - the amp nor the guitar. It's not knocking it to say that, either. It's just not what it's designed for. You get what you pay for - if you've played for guitar some time it's worth buying quality gear. You don't need high end, but at least shoot for middle of the road.
that is true although gear can bring more excitement to ur playing u still gotta remember that u are the sound
Ironic this is kind of people who said tone in the hand and say gear in their hand sound bad and not brother to get a guitar lesson
Had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
The only thing I think about when I see my first guitar is "what a piece of sh*t"
Same
But Im still on my first one
@Shlomo Shekelstein nothing against them though, as long as they use the thing.
@@dualtahunter4043 Very tru
that makes two of us.
6:00-6:19 . You nailed the Christmas morning feel in a video .
My first guitar was a 2001 Washburn WR-150. I got it new from a local store when I was 13. I still have it 20 years later and always will.
$179 for that package?! Donner is INSANE with how affordable their gear is. I actually own two pedals, (tuner & delay) and they’re built well & packaged amazingly
All he’s doing is playing millions of notes per second. BUT WITH A LOT OF FEEL!!! You’re awesome Tyler, true guitar hero!
The first guitar that I brought to lessons was my mom's Norman acoustic guitar; but the first one that I owned myself was a black Squier bullet Telecaster, and that's the one that actually got me into it. I am still using that one, and i'm gonna upgrade soon.
first riff i ever learned was Pnuema by TOOL. then it was invincible. but i didnt start playing guitar with a pick until like a year after i started playing guitar in general!
my first guitar was a black squier bullet that’s now covered in stickers (blink-182, the misfits, warped tour, and some random ones) with a racing stripe on it n since it’s so bad to play to me now, I decided to hang it on my wall. I’ll always love that guitar tho, definitely one of my favorites, as for how it looks now.
The first song I learned was about a girl by nirvana, and then in bloom.
Nice pfp
@@Arsenic404 thanks, I always liked weird alternative guitars
@@ezraterry4219 it ain't weird lol it's a normal fender model
@@aarxv_s1042 Yeah but everybody plays a strat or les Paul, haven’t you seen sonic youth or nirvana play Jaguars?
@@ezraterry4219 jaguars/jazzmasters are everywhere
I consider myself really lucky that I started with a 1965 Fender Telecaster with a 50 watt Marshall amp which was my dad’s I started playing shortly after he passed since he really enjoyed playing guitar and wanted to feel how he felt
Its a really expensive setup for a beginner still have them in perfect condition after 17 years
Wow, that the Daddy’s in Boston I always went to! I’d walk there from the my job at the Pru, when I lived on Queensberry street on Park Drive.
There’s no way that guitar is staying in tune like that after playing that lead
@Rudy Arellano mine doesn’t. I guess you got lucky.
@@christiansworldofwonder9059 are you only playing for 5 min lol
@@jokelord420 I have the same guitar they showed in the video i practiced for 2 damn hours and the thing stays in tune. The strings it came whit were crap tough they snap easily
I started playing back in September and I bought a Donner, damn thing can’t stay in tune for shit. Saving up for a new one, and as someone else put it the second guitar is the most nostalgic one since you have a more broad view of what you’re doing.
My first guitar was a super cheap Ibanez that looked cool and was terrible in almost every way it could be terrible. Tuners were shit, trem was shit, pickups were shit, and it had no shielding inside the electronics compartment, so it buzzed like a radio program from the 1930's. I traded it in on a upper mid-range ESP and never looked back.
@@try2bcool what Ibanez was it, cuz I own a 200 dollar one that's pretty nice
I tune mine everyday it has become my ritual everyday i practice whit this book i bought from guitar center and it seems it's going well
@@stereotype2269 which one, I’m using an Ibanez RG gio
Exactly, your first guitar is almost always a piece of shit unless you have rich parents, the second is usually the one you pick up with some knowledge... I call my first electric guitar "stara kurwa" and if you have any knowledge of any slavic language you probably know its not a term of endearment...
My first guitar was when I was 12 and it was a small Denver acoustic, I also got my dads les Paul and his 30 year old Yamaha which I still play all the time
My first guitar was a Cort too, still have it, it’s an acoustic, absolutely love it
11:00 You should really publish some of these little jams on Spotify. This jam and the jam with your $500k klon sound absolutely brilliant. I've watched your jam with the Klon like 10 times and it still sends chills down my spine and makes me smile every time.
An Ibanez GRG 170 dx... love to shred on it!!
Same here
Mine too , and I'm so thankful
I have my first guitar, a classical and my 73 blue sparkle Les Paul deluxe that my parents went in half with me on my 18th birthday in 1977. Donner makes some cool pedals. I have a harmonic square octave pedal. Good fun.
this is THE example for it doesn't matter what tools you use... rock on brother
him: oh my god it’s off white
me: yeah, WAYYYY off white
isn't every colour that isn't white "off-white" lol...
“Wooo.. that humbuckers a little hot!” 😂
(I played a red Hondo in the late 80’s)
The single coil pickups are really low on that Donner. Like a pen width between the pickup and strings low. Mine is the same way.
Spare a thought for the lefties.....my first guitar was my dad's 1970s framus jumbo acoustic which I converted to left handed..... First electric was dreadful Tanglewood strat. Seem to recall it being the only left handed guitar (other than super expensive fender and Gibson) in my local music shop. Next guitar was a massive step up and i still have it.... My dad was a decent drummer and someone he played with sporadically was a tester for Gordon Smith in the 80s and early 90s so I managed to get him to order me a Gordon Smith gs1. 1993. Got quite the discount too. Great little guitar
First riff I learned was come as you are Nirvana. Squire Strat pack! The second riff I made up myself. 9th fret D to 11th then 12th and back to 9th then slide back to 8th. Then same repeat only on the G string. Then move up to the 2nd and third fret of the A string and repeat up there. Really nice little melody for my second week in lmao.
I have made the purchase for this guitar I start the my guitar journey on Tuesday March 9 2021
good like man i learnt my first riff today on my channel im still a beginner but yh :)
How’s it going?
@@deadchannelseriouslyitsdea9776 gd thanks :) i dont know if u where talking to me but yh
Brent Peterson same!! Good luck to everyone!!
Good look
It’s not off white, that’s yellow 😨 looks like great value for the price though!!
Cameras mess with colors
@@madmod that much though?
@@ChrisWhoPlaysLizzie Blues often turn purple, creams turn yellow. Ive seen it a lot. Its all about natural light vs artificial and what the camera can pick up.
@@madmod hectic, I learnt something new today, thank you
@@ChrisWhoPlaysLizzie no problem. I know it weirded me out when i took a picture of my very blue 80s Kramer and it looked all Barney'd out.
The first thing I learned on guitar was Classical Gas. Heck of a thing to start a kid on but I insisted because I loved hearing my dad play it.
Amazing vid!
First riff I learned was “wish you were here”. What a great song. I still haven’t forgotten how to play it. Shit gets ingrained in ur mind
Same. Blew my mind back in the day.
Oh yeah, I learned that fairly early on, played it to death, and it's been really interesting to observe how my playing has improved over the years through playing that one song. You'll never forget it 😆
Acoustic: a red applause ovation
Electric: black with white pickgaurd squire bullet strat
I did have a toy sized guitar before that, I sanded it down and painted it for an art class and it works decently but I don't think it counts as my first
I think I was about 9 when I learned my first anything on guitar. I was using my dad’s Epiphone les Paul and learned “Day Tripper” by the Beatles. I remember having to stretch my fingers really far with my pinky but now I can okay it with ease not needing that finger. Every since then I’ve been obsessed with learning guitar
Hi miw I’m 10 and I have a Jackson I’m left handed and that was my first guitar the Jackson and the first thing I learned was rock you like a hurricane by scorpions I’ve been with you since the beginning and I love you you mean so much to me I love your vids keep up the good work Tyler your THE BEST!!!!!
Apple: sells phone, charger, headphones and other essential equipment separately at a high price
This cheap guitar brand:
Agreed, throw in literally everything someone needs to start out, aside from possibly a guitar stand that's one complete setup.
I have one of their ukuleles. The tuner is better than a Snark, though the jaws are a bit narrow for a guitar. The tuning machines are functionally perfect with no gear lash, something that can't be said of my USA Strat or Yamaha FG-405. The gig bag has a 1/2" of padding and straps for one or both shoulders as well as a handle for toting around. It isn't just a dust cover. The strap is like a narrower version of what came with the Strat, woven and padded. And the ukulele had both buttons preinstalled on the neck heel and lower bout. It was not what I was expecting for $70.
The first thing that got me into playing guitar was the main riff for walk by pantera. When I was younger my parents wouldn't sign me up for guitar lessons cause I already took drum lessons, but I was able to figure that one out pretty easily. That was so exciting to me that I figured I'd just teach myself guitar by learning as much music knowledge as I could find on RUclips (like this channel) and messing around for years, which eventually turned into actual practice somewhere along the line. I'm honestly not mad with the results, so thanks. Also that ween shirt is fire, very underrated.
Used to have a Donner Telecaster, honestly loved it.
THAT GUITAR IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I have no idea how you got that.
