DISCLAIMER: One guitar was harmed in the making of this film. You may have noticed that The Cloud (my Squier Strat) was used for everything except the final song. I often like to incorporate different guitars to showcase how they sound with the pedal, and I'm glad I could do that here... but it wasn't the plan. Believe it or not, The Cloud busted while playing Cloudbusting! 🤯 This Squier Affinity Stratocaster has been a great instrument -- looks good, sounds good, and plays well -- but I think mounting flat-wound 11s on it (see my last video, about surf rock, which was always one of my original intentions for this guitar) was possibly just too much for it to handle. Either that, or I'm just bad at setting up the guitar and configuring the floating bridge... in any case, the body got a crack right at the bridge, and then the mounting screw/nut actually sunk into the body! Bad news is... after about a year of great playing, the guitar seems done (again, I don't think this would happen with normal strings in a range of 9-11, so I don't want this to deter anybody.) Good news is... it gave me the impetus to finally buy a Jazzmaster (Fender 60s Vintera... stay tuned!)
Different strokes for different folks. Unfortunately, he chose negativity, but I have to say that for the most part, the music community (guitar players, guitar pedal/effects aficionados, etc) has been far less toxic and negative than most communities, so it's kind of surprising when comments like this show up. But I take it for what it is: an opinion. Everybody's entitled to one. FWIW, the creator of the Infinite Birdwhistle plugin contained in this video loved my Kate Bush cover. Another viewer told me they liked my REM cover (in a different video) even more than the original, and another said my music reminded them of Spiritualized (which was a great honor to hear that.) I've also had multiple new subscribers just in the time since he posted this comment, and some of my videos have thousands of views and many likes... so overall the positivity definitely offsets the negativity. But he's right that this video is not the place to find what he is looking for. For one thing, this isn't a "music video" ... it's an educational demo video to show what the sounds of different effects tools sound like, so he's right that if he's looking for "music" this isn't exactly the video for that. It's also focused on ambient effects/instruments -- ie. mood and atmosphere... ambient/cinematic stuff, not the "dad rock / blues lawyer" music he seems to be into (in fact, my channel will definitely not be the place for that, although I do have a variety of tastes including bluegrass and surf rock. My next video will feature Delta blues with dobro/resonator guitars and harmonicas. But overall that is not the kind of music I do.) In my personal opinion, music doesn't get much worse than this: ruclips.net/video/j4H4Z8EBMlo/видео.html (doesn't mean the musicians are bad, and I'm open-minded to a variety of musical genres, but easy-listening jazz / elevator music is possibly the worst ever, in my book. So I am absolutely not surprised -- nor even offended -- that somebody who thinks that is the definition of "music" doesn't like my channel. I'm just confused as to how this video is being recommended to those of you who are "traditionalists" and into that kind of music. BTW, this guitar pedal is also not a good choice for jazz, blues, R&B, etc... ) Anyway, thanks for trying to encourage positivity... I think most musicians appreciate what other musicians do, even if we don't always dig the sounds being made. (As for the space theme... some people enjoy it, some people don't... but at least it's different than the loads of videos that already exist, and it's fun for me to do.)
I haven't got one of those pedals yet but I'm determined great sounds thank you ❤

Weak review
Sorry so silly and boring. I know your trying but I’m looking for music. It’s not here.
I may also agree with you......but one can also leave the clip without writing this comment.
