you are a brilliant guitarist, super nice touch and control and made that guitar sing !. I bought one. TY for the review and bonus songs, super impressed!
Thanks man! Appreciate the listen! My writing process usually follows a diatonic structure. Functional harmony more than nonfunctional harmony. I usually jam a bit with a metronome to see what chords/riffs I like before mapping the drums out. I approach it like a regular song that has vocals/singing. With that in mind, I focus on putting together a intro/verse/pre-chorus/chorus/bridge/solo. Once I have the song written/recorded I start to map out a melody I like over the track. The harmonies are written after the first melodies are recorded. Then I just play around with the intervals to see which I like better (4ths, 3rds etc). I try to keep the shredding to a minimum to build/release tension. Focus more on melody and hooks for the chorus. Hope that helps! I also give lessons online if you ever wanna chat further on music composition theory etc. Cheers my dude!
I've been on the fence between this one and another. I think this video finally did it for me. A part of that is that you also played classic style. Your's is the only one I've seen that's not from a strictly metal head perspective. Thank you. 😊
Over all the one i got same model an color, The issue i had was it was damaged in shipping. Neck was cracked an wasnt able to get it tuned with out cracking sounds. an i had a pick up that wasnt working. but the craftmen ship on the guitar was very well done. Working with company an amazon to get a replacement. I just hope i will not get another one in same issue. Deffently want to give the company a fair chance. Love the video an love the music you did.
Lester, Can you tell if you'd be able to take the plastic covers off the pickups and throw some chrome covers on them? I think they sound great. I actually think these pickups sound better than the AIO Les Paul pickups. I've never liked the aesthetic of black plastic covers.
I don't see anywhere on Fesley's Website that these guitars are made in Fender's factory. All offices and warehouse are in Mong Kok Hong Kong China. Might be a Squier Factory but not Fender. Fender's factories are in Corona California and Ensenada Mexico.
I ordered one of these a while back. It arrived with a cracked/broken neck. Fesley's solution was "Buy a new neck and fix it yourself". I returned it and got my money back instead.
That's crazy! I've had no issues but any company can have issues for sure. When I worked at a music store, I'd see faulty products all the time. Washburn, Dean/Luna, and others would come sometimes blemished or cracked.
@@LesterMitchellDefinitely. I assumed it occured in shipping. I actually just saw a video the other day from another guy who ordered the same guitar, and his arrived cracked in the exact same way. Weird.
Those two songs at the end were pure fire! Great job on that Fesley.
Thanks so much dude!!
You're a hell of a player. Was pleasantly surprised by the original compositions. Thanks for the wonderful demo~

Hey dude! I'm not sure to be honest. I never do any modifications. I would ask the bald shredder on his channel!
I keep trying to find something wrong with this guitar, but it just sounds good. Thanks for the excellent review and bad ass shredding.
Thanks my friend! I appreciate that. Yeah I'm really surprised as well. It's well built!
Played one the other day. Fantastic sound and without a doubt the ' easiest' playing guitar that I've ever come across. Practically plays itself!
@@richardtofts4977 Definitely a worthy guitar for the price! Happy to hear you liked it!

Yeah I understand where you're coming from. I honestly can't verify myself. That's just what the company stressed to me.
Killer Guitar demo 🎸🤘 I would love to try a Fesley guitar, but you can't get them in Europe for some reason😣
Thanks dude! Also I'm sorry to hear that 😢 That does suck
awesome doode
Thanks man!

Sakura Rain was cool. A few Satriani-esque parts too. But Angelus Mortem was badass.
Thanks my friend! I appreciate that! I'm a big fan of Satch!
Probably the best guitar per dollar spent I’ve ever played.
I wish they were more specific when they say “fender factory”, like… do they mean squier factory in China?
Definitely a fair question. I wonder as well 🤔
