    I've been playing for 35 years. A lot of this is stuff I understand via experience but would never have been able to express so perfectly. What a wonderful job! For that, good sir, you have a new subscriber.

    I'd love to see Chris thiles technique on the mandolin and then on the guitar, so you could examine it, every video you do is 1000 hours worth of education in picking technique.. you are like a master scientist of the physics of guitar picking science and techniques...

    i was in middle school when I discovered Troy Grady's stuff. I have just started my first job this week. Nice to see him still doing this

    You are in your own league with guitar education. This stuff is amazing and likely ground-breaking. You are a service to all guitar players everywhere. Thanks Troy!

    This is so interesting and awesome to see being supported with actual audio evidence. I knew some of this just by playing around with pick angles, but seeing just HOW much this affects the tone on that EQ graph is crazy! 😳

    You should totally tackle subjects like basic guitar setup, how all of the adjustments effect the guitar, and each other, with this thorough, visually supported format, would be fantastic. If you really feel adventurous, take on tonal differences between solid/semi-hollow/hollowbody, and the ever controversial DUN DUN DUN Tonewood!

    Troy, it’s really a great thing that you include frequency comparisons. I’m beginning to learn about music production so there is a lot to learn from your videos. Thank you for your work!

    I really have to thank you Troy, because thanks to your site and this YT channel I solved so many technical problems in the past years on my electric guitar. But what is actually unbelievable is that now that I'm a classical guitar player this video on pick's tone, with all the scientific content, helped me finding the sound I like on my nylon strings! You do an amazing job for all guitar player. Wish you all the best 👍

    What a service you provide for us learners! As the only person who seriously applies science to this, you remove the BS and rumors. I wish you also did one for fingerstyle picado and arpeggios technique, such as what flamenco players do. :) Keep up the great work!
