Mr. Man you have no idea what you're talking about. A couple months ago I saw an Ibanez sitting on a rack at guitar center without a tag, picked it up, one of the best guitars I ever played. It was used for $299 I bought it
I just take guitar at my own pace, I don't care how good he can play. It's just like lifting weights, everyone lifts a different amount but we can all lift together
Xx_Uzi Vert_xX z I know, I had to say it tho 😂. Remember back in the day when camos meant something, like when you got that gold camo and people saw it in their killcams we JIZZED over how impressive it was to have them. That's what drove my love of games. Id rather have 1000 camos and no dlc weapons, here's hoping COD WW2 pulls through for us.

It genuinely makes me happy to see Erik do what he does. He's become so successful in so much through his music, gaming, etc. He lives a life he wants to live and does what makes him happy, and it makes me happy to see him do that. I know it's weird but it actually just makes me smile when I look at his room/setup and see all the shit thrown about and realize that he's just livin' life doing what he wants. You can see the profound happiness on his face when he makes these kinds of music videos and it's just awesome that he can do so much with his life. Keep making videos Erik and NEVER stop playing guitar. A lot of us know it's a huge passion of yours and you're extremely talented. Thank you for all the smiles and good times :)
the dude in my opinion merkmusic is very talented and a good shredder but jared honestly is better and has more feeling but no one beats rob scallon :)
Honestly, every time I see Erik play his guitars, I see the happiness in his eyes. It makes me happy knowing that I helped Erik with his dream of collecting guitars. Huge respect for you Erik as you always make me laugh and smile when times were tough for me. Good luck for the future Erik.
I remember watching this a while back. I bought my first electric a week ago (cheap black “RockJam” Stratocaster straight from Amazon) and I thought I’d watch this again. I’m honestly blown away with what a decade of experience sounds like.
I did the math (mostly) and homework and your collection comes to just about $18,300 with the js10 chromeboy not being the most costly of them all at $4,850 at most when the UV77PSN at around $8,000 alone is the most cost valuable as of right now money wise. but for personal value the chromeboy would be the most valuable one. Thought you would think that is pretty cool M3rk knowing the value and all, nothing to dis you man.
@m3rkmus1c a banjo is quite simple you probably won’t see this comment but use your index for the 4th string and your middle for the 5th and your thumb on the 1st (highest) string in that patter and that’s the simplest type of roll and just repeat 4,5,1 over and over again for a clean sound then with your guitar knowledge of how sound works you could probably pick out your own sound so gg Edit: I have very little knowledge of the banjo
You should do a collab with TheDooo , in which he starts playing guitar in bo2, and then you play, and create kind of like a battle, and get peoples reactions. IT will be a sick video! Like this so eric will see.
I'd splooge if you started guitar covers. Like one a week or one a month or something. I think it would be a cool thing for us to see and it would still be advertiser friendly. You could take requests in the comments or something. Idk. I just thought it might be a cool idea.
I absolutely loved this video. I'm not into guitars or instruments in any way and only ever watched you for your gaming vids but this was amazing. I think you should definitely do more videos similar to this in the future. A+ work Eric. Love it. Ps: you should absolutely do some guitar hero or rock band videos. I think there's a lot of people who would enjoy it.
Really strange, for a shredder you rarely use your pinkie, and yet when playing the Satriani signature and the yellow JEM, the notes were so accurate and it sounded so rich and full. Only criticism I have is WHERE IS YOUR GUITAR FACE?
after 3 years of watching this video, i finally got my dream guitar, the one you introduced to me and i fell in love with immediately. The Ibanez JEM. Thanks bro :)
You are actually one of the people that got me into playing guitar, I now have 2 guitars and have been playing for two years. You are such an inspiration to me and others as well. Keep being such an amazing person man. You are awesome!
I remember watching this when I was younger not knowing anything about guitar, I’ve been playing for a year now so I’m getting to watch this through new eyes

How to get M3RK's tone:
Play an Ibanez
Add Distortion, Reverb, Chorus, and Delay.

Sounds less like a distortion than a fuzz.
I really like his tone.
