As a guy who plays flying V’s exclusively, it’s like driving a sports car every day BUT IT NEVER GETS OLD!
Thank you!
Right there with you! I find V’s to be more comfortable to play than traditional shapes tbh.
Yes! As an exclusive Flying V player, playing a superstrat or any other 'conventional' shaped guitar feels weird
Right there, as someone that used to play super strats for years but then switched to Vs and never looked back... until a tried an X for the first time (Jackson Kelly Star) and found it to be the best of both worlds.
Still love my fleet of Jackson Vs though.
Honestly once you get used to a V you kinda feel like a dork playing a strat or les Paul shaped guitar
The serenity of the Mario 64 submarine stage theme being so horrifyingly interrupted by "daddy" will haunt me forever. lol
i read this comment before getting to that part of the video and thought you were talking about the song by korn although that would have been just as jarring
@@paperbag1847 Neither were a part of that 120 star journey. Hahaha
This might be my favorite video of yours. I can relate to your sense of humor and I love the dry delivery. As always fantastic playing. Keep doing what you’re doing and I believe you have a bright future ahead so enjoy star gazing while you still can, before you begin to shine so bright you cause light pollution.
tyyy!
I totally agree 👍 This was hilarious! 🤣 It was so good I watched it three times! For the love of god, more of this please 🤘😎🔥
I'm confused if she is 19, 24, or 31. Her humor mixes like 3 generations.
Who cares?
She just has a good sense of humor that is all that needs to be said
1 generation spans 15 years....your examples span 12 years...aka, still just 1 generation!
Mastery of humor, transcends generations. Indulge in the humor, embrace it and enjoy it.
I'm more confused about whether her birth certificate says female or male
6:00 😭😭😭 YOU HAD TO DO THIS TO US
I had to sit for the remainder of the video after that.
I'm still looking for a Kramer to experiment with.
Sad.
Every time you play a solo I run to the front yard and start yelling slow down while shaking my fist at the street
I bought a Kramer Disciple bass last month on a whim at my local music store. Looks, sounds, and plays amazingly well. The only real basis I had for Kramer quality vs budget came from this channel, and I'm super happy with it. Purple sparkly finish, ebony board, and a Duncan pickup for super cheap.
bought one after I saw Phil McKnight rip on one in one of Kramer's videos. Niece piece of kit.
Okay that Domination solo was like holy shit oh fuck oh damn
It’s great to see your confidence growing with the content in your videos. Was really funny to watch 😂🤘🏻❤️
Dude your content is so interesting now, Laughed hard in many places. keep it up.
I so love your humor! I still wasn't past laughing at "this is the only V getting between your legs" when you dropped "Daddy?" I had to watch it again to make sure I didn't miss anything from laughing! You're a breath of fresh air in the world of RUclips guitar videos.
Jackson King V's all the way for me. Recently got a budget shark fin V and I love it no buyers remorse what-so-ever.
Love the creativity you put into your videos
I use a couple of flying V's, both of which are among my favorite guitars to use. I think it's not really so much a comfort thing (although one of my V's feels really good up high compared to the other) but, let's face it, it just screams rock n roll all over it. Which reminds me, I need to take them out for a spin!
Ahahahaha, the old "can't play standing up" bit. 💀💀
I have always wondered why companies put stuff in that curve of the V, it defeats the whole purpose (besides, uh, being "V-shaped").
Not a fan of the old “taint” jack or strap buttons. Dunlop flush mount strap locks should be on every V shaped guitar I had a Dean Dave Mustaine V that had them.
Great quick demo of these two guitars. Your playing is top notch as usual. Thank you!😊
6:00 is such a curveball cutaway holy shit. Great video funniest one yet.
“Daddy?!”
As a seasoned musician (nice way of saying old) I really enjoy your videos. I hope they encourage more younger people to pick up an instrument. It's an outlet that nothing can compare too.
Impressed with the Domination solo, made it look easy
Dude, your video editing and production has grown in LEAPS in such a short time! I'm glad I was early, because this was your best yet. Great comedic timing and deadpan delivery! Keep 'em comin', Ms. Kent!
So many great moments in this video. Loved the intro, actually made me lol. The 6 min mark was so hilariously unexpected😂. Love your honesty! Looking forward to more.
Was not expecting such a funny and entertaining video! I’m subscribing
1:22 that harmonic brought joy to my soul
I love those guitars... Seriously I almost bought the night V and ended up getting the js 32 rhoads... LOVE THIS THING... and like you were saying it's damn near perfect right out of the box... Literally ONE sharp fret at the 19th.. only 1 side of it and I only paid 350... Gonna put a pure tone in the output jack it'll help make it not come out these things are AMAZING if you've never heard of them it's only $10 and some soldering and your guitar will thank you
I have a Jackson King V Pro. I absolutely love this guitar. I originally had $2400.00 to buy a Gibson Flying V. However I saw the Jackson King V & for fun I picked it up and started to play. I fell in love instantly. When I compared the Gibson to the Jackson in playing, Gibson had lost it's magic. The Gibson was cheap feeling and did not have the tone that the Jackson had. The Gibson did not feel right. I owned a 1976 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe and that was a guitar that had that Gibson magic, so I do know the difference. The Jackson is my go to guitar and has not let me down. Great video.
You are an absolutely brilliant guitarist. I remember back in 1992 I bought a Jackson Randy Rhodes in London and it cost me £930. It had a brilliant neck and tone but due to its shape, it was very uncomfortable to play, so I bought an Ibanez S450. I wish I'd bought a Soloist first.
1:59 how I normally set up a “shred”/metal guitar is with one of those clip lock straps that gets rid of the button and is screwed directly into the guitar. So personally, I don’t think this is much of an issue, but if you’re reading this and are looking for a solution around that strap button, hopefully this comment helps.
Thanks Kayla for the shredding! I was feeling kind meh but this review and jaming made my Day😊 Hilarious as well!😂 "Daddy?" LMFAO!!! Cheers 🍻 🛸 UFO's, Ace Ventura. Plus now Im browsing Zzounds looking at that Jackson.
I own the Kramer and it’s my personal fav. It absolutely shreds and has a great sound.
Actually interested. I got Kramer Striker and was thinking of adding a V
This was the funniest and best review of a flying v that I've heard. And that's from a guy that plays tele style guitars almost exclusively. I gotta get a Kramer now... 🤦🏻♂️ Do they make those for dad rock? Yes, yes they do
Fyeah I've been looking forward to some new content
I love my Mustaine angel of deth and my solar v, but after seeing you kick ass with that nite v, I’m gonna have to have one. Sounded REALLY GOOD. love the playing. Dime is my hero. You’ve got the sound down.
This intro 😂
Genius
WAIT! When you brought up the Ace Ventura “You gun is digging into my hip” thing, I just noticed what was actually digging into his hip… (For those of you who watched Ace Ventura, you know what happens) How’d it take me so long to notice?
4:47 Just killed me 🤣
I musn't lie, I like these comparison videos. I also love jacksons. I got a cheap jackson js30 dinky with a reverse headstock for $270 last May. The only problem on it is the frets, those things are sharp. love it to death.
Loved the whole beginning, especially how your voice fades away as he's staring at the screen. A few years ago I got a really good deal on a used Jackson RR24 with the reverse headstock and Blackouts for pickups. Thing's in C standard and paired with a (correctly adjusted) Metal Zone it totally slays. I never thought I could love me a V but I enjoyed it so much I went and got a hard case for it. Also I would be remiss as a plane nerd if I didn't mention that Gibson would need to sue Northrop Grumman, maker of the B-2 and now B-21(as well as the old YB-49). Until, that is, they come out with a guitar that looks like the SR-71
Great someone giving honest reviews keep it up ❤
Congrats on your new Jackson. The best starter kit for shredders. 🎉🎉🎉
1:23 that is the most epic squeal I've ever heard
I dig this video. I've been playing Jacksons since the 90s but have something around from nearly every manufacturer I can think of. I've not tried the Kramer V yet. I am glad that Jackson finally moved the jack to the upper horn as for ages they were in the lower and annoying. I don't have a modern Kramer yet, mine are 84-85. My first nice guitar was a Randy Rhoads model. That Striker is on my list though. Keep up the videos!!
I have a MIJ DK2, one of the new US Virtuosos, the WR7, and the JS32 King V. Honestly the JS32 line is no joke, they’re an absolute steal at that price point.
This is an awesome video! It’s safe to say that your fans trust you and your judgement. Thanks for doing this one Kayla!
I own a Jackson JS32 King V from 2014, while I wasn't a huge fan of it for a while, I do quite enjoy it. Nowadays though, I use my Jackson USA KV2. Miles better in comparison personally.
"Power Metal" is dope. Love that song. Sounded like Dime used a wah effects pedal for the solo in the original recording.
I love your humor! You just earned yourself a sub😂
It's crazy how relaxed you look playing. I know that's supposed to be the key, but I have to concentrate on even the simple stuff that every muscle gets tensed up! :) Goals, goals, goals.
Gotta relax to let everything flow and the fingers and picking hand naturaly kinda bounce. Play super slow and clean with correct picking/hammers/pulls until a riff becomes muscle memory, then speed it up. Practice 1 thing for a minute, then work on some other stuff and come back to it after 3-4 mins. Take lots of breaks. Practice 6 times a day for 10 mins is better than once for an hour grinding at something.
My very first guitar was a jackson dinky I got dirt cheap when I was going through a rough time in my life, the reverse headstock just drawed me in like a inferno magnet! Learned a lot from that sucker, then I saw a jackson v guitar for about 125$ and been using v shaped guitars ever since, honestly they are super comfortable to me and ridiculously easy to play, now that I’m used to a Floyd rose I want all my guitars to have em lol
Nice Johnson! Been playing through the combo version for 20 years.
Jackson for me the Floyd Rose Deep cut to allow double action. Plus The location of the jack... The strap button is more easily relocated... & I like the Fret Board better on the Jackson...Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
The fact that you went so in depth with this video and were able to put some humor in is why im happy i subbed the tones you have also and plays never disappoint! Rock on Kayla! Also i love the Nintendo music ^_^ now i need some wind waker music from zelda or twilight princess (or of course the older ones)
Can you list the substances you took the night the V-shape incident occurred?
If wanna see the stars. I recommend mountains. I live in the blue ridge mountains of Virginia. Can see the full milky way from one horizon to the other. But thanks for this review. Been thinking of picking up a dinky for my lil bro. Def gonna go with the king here. Thank you. ❤ and definitely got dime smiling again with this one. Nailed it.
Before I watched this video, I did NOT have a kink for being pinned down with a Flying V.
After watching this video it's all I can think about.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE KAYLA?!
Yeah, the location of the input jack on the Kramer is insane. No idea what they were thinking. You're basically forced to use an L-shaped cable if you're playing this thing sitting down. Other than that, I think the guitar actually feels good, both the shape of the wing cutaway as well as the neck. I got the fixed bridge version, which I prefer. I put the EMG Hetfields in it and now it's a pretty awesome axe.
How does the Kramer neck compare to a b.c. rich in size? I'm a bassist primarily but occasionally pick up my b.c. rich to play stuff like judas priest.
She’s a fantastic guitarist, obviously intelligent and humorous, and I love the music she plays, but I just can’t escape the recurring feeling every time that she looks like Rose West. I think it’s the glasses and fringe combo that push it over the edge.
4:26 MY FACE MELTED! I NEED A LAWYER ASAP!!!!!!!!
Never seen your videos, or even thought of looking into any of this.
This was great!
It's cool to see you growing as a content creator. It seems you becoming more comfortable on camera, adding in humor, Interesting cutaway scenes, etc and I like the gear review.
Of course, I don't grow tired of you tearing up the fretboard either ; )
...which reminds me, I need to knock out some trill exercises! : D
ok bro thats a fire ass domination solo holy shit 🔥
I’ve got a JS32T Kelly that a few of my friends gifted me for my birthday. Unfortunately mine is a dud. The neck is really bad. I’m no stranger to set ups but this thing might just have very unleveled frets. The fret ends are nice and smooth though 😂
Awesome video though. Convinced me to subscribe immediately. Your voice audio could be better though tbh. I think it would be a worthwhile upgrade.
Another awesome video. I have had a Nite-V for a year and a half now and love it. The Floyd is holding up all fine for me. But that deep recess for the Jackson is very cool.
Love your sense of humour. always get a good giggle and a great review... Keep up the good work 😇
It doesn’t matter who plays it, that Domination solo just rips your face off! Well played
Girl you got some serious chops absolutely amazing now lmao that being said you already know this BUT! That intro with Gibson.... Bra. So many guitar and drum nerds just juiced over that one. Kudos girl I just subscribed to yo shit and can't wait to peep that content. NICE. All that aside I've always been a Jackson/ Charvelle..blah,blah,blah fan. Luv your videos
I don’t like guitar reviews, I just like flying vs so I watched this. Good video, more Vs, just a video of Vs being played. I don’t care if you play it bad on purpose, I don’t care what kinda songs are played on it, I just wanna see more flying Vs in action.
I set my Flying V on the couch, turned on the Solo demos of the video on loop and let it watch like an occupied child while I do the dishes. If I didn’t, it’d squeal at me to play it again. It’s the only guitar shape that deserves that love. I guess Fender Mustangs can have the leftover love. Flying V collection showcase, Flying V live demo, Drawing a Flying V on paper with crayons, I don’t care. Just give me more Vs. thank you, good video
plus the 24 frets does it for me. Do you get to keep those guitars ? If so , I'm gonna start a channel .
I love her voice
Ok been practicing how to get those squealing harmonic noises what’s the volume/gain settings have a metal zone and a noise gate into Marshall mg hdfx high out put pickups I get them a little but not extreme like yours what are good settings
6:01 I'm 💎💎💎 rn
You are diamonds?! 👀 Would be a shame if someone would sell u to the highest bidder... 😏💰💰
So im thinking of getting a kramer any high ends that you like between the 500-1000$ range that you think surpass other big brands?
Just discovered your channel through this video and I’m already hooked!! 😂😁 You are a riot!!
I’ve got a Jackson Scott Ian V hard tail. Really solid guitar sounds wicked but I agree I’m a little uncomfortable playing sat down and playing standing up means I’m always paranoid of chipping the edges
might be my new fave you tuber
Is this available for download anywhere in a proper recording? Sounds mad!!
Nice solo in the beginning, gotta love it
Got my first v back in January and it’s an ltd arrow, true is a 1000 series but still really comfy guitar as the out out jack is in a great place as well as the strap button
Michael Schenker. Also? Flying Vs are for standing up - although you do play well sitting down.
INSANE INTRO 😂👍
Love my 2 Jackson vs
You have to be my favorite review person , sexy , smart and a great sense of timing with your wit and blunt honesty , rock on 😊
2:48 Sadly, you're not kidding. 🥺🥺
She caught me off guard with that guitar choke and the "Daddy" that followed... Oof 🔥
I have the js32 randy rhoads with the licenced floyd. The issue I had was the thread in the B string saddle sheared during a restring so I had to source a spare from reverb in order to be able to lock the string in the bridge. I never had to touch the intonation until that happened. Other than that it's a great guitar for the price and I'm more careful changing strings. I reckon that king v must be the same quality. I totally agree with you on the jack placement on the kramer. I'd probably go with the Jackson out of those two anyway because it's what I'm used to. Great video 👍
Omg this is what a creative person looks like!!! Epic.. keep creating!!
I'm so used to the reverse headstock so it's weird seeing Jackson headstock like yours haha
Great review and even better playing! I notice that Dimebag Darrell is a big influence of yours. Other than hours and hours of practice, what did you find helped best to learn those leads?
I've had my Cobalt Blue swirl Jackson King V since 2007 from American Musical. I pretty much play it between my legs and it helps to have the flat ended cable. And it helps that I'm 6' 5" and around 172-178lbs. lol Yep I'm tall and skinny. heh heh I don't play guitar very well standing up, never really have. Even if I played it live which I have. I am still propping it on my leg while playing. lol
Oh and my daily driver which has been a long time is an '82 Datsun 280zx slicktop 5 speed coupe sports car. lol But I'm getting my '00 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Coupe back on the road here soon. I got her to a local shop to get repaired. Probably a head gasket or cylinder head at most I hope. Then I can put my 280zx Z car down and restore him like he deserves.
As a former recovering classical guitarist I thoroughly enjoy v guitars as the sitting position is much more natural feeling to me. 😂😂
What is the back of the neck finish like on the Jackson? Is it an actual thicker satin clear hard finish, or a really thin barely there feel the wood grain kind of thing like a Squier affinity?
😂 Your videos are getting better and better... keep it up
OMG, IM IN LOVE!! and the guitars are cool too...
LMAO, great video, Kayla. If you were still up here in the DF Dub I would definitely audition for your band.
I really want that Kramer Nite V.
Love the johnson amp
You have really good vibrato. I've noticed a lot of people wiggle their finger but it doesn't really move the string that much. You really wrangle the string.
KAYLAAAA!!!! POWER METALLLLLL!!! That was super-dafically baddass, why is no one else playing this tune way-underheard tune, the whole album is awesome, but I can no one ever talks about it? Thanks for playing one of my favorite Pantera deepcuts
Power Metal is an awesome album.
