The Wedgie makes your guitar look like it's got a bowtie on when the two picks are inserted.
Well, that's me sold.
kRAKATOA looks crap in my opinion
I prefer to say it looks like the grill on a Chevy!
The........
WEDGIE?!
no thanks man thems hurts
That's what I thought😂
i had a stroke a few years ago and have forgotten how to play but your vids have helped me a lot keep up yhe good work
Thank you
smoke lots of pot. it'll help you
Hope you’re better now!
Have you got better?
Keep up the good work. Some very famous guitar players have had accidents or strokes and forgot how to play, then came back after reteaching themselves. We're behind you, Harry, don't forget it.
Remember guitar 'jackets' from the 1980's? They were covers for the guitar body so they wouldn't get scratched. Saw ads for them all the time in Guitar Player magazine years ago.
That just sounds like a gig bag with extra steps

@Flynn Jonathan you ain't fooling anybody, you both the same person
I'm a drummer. why am I watching this
Do not worry. I will watch some Drum videos this week to balance the universe. lol.
Maybe you just want to hang around with real musicians? Naw, I love drums and I'm constantly watching drum videos so guilty as charged I guess. haha :D The only reason I don't play the drums is lack of ... drums, and they're just not an option in this apartment so a house is on the wish list. Guess what's next on the list ...
PinkPonyOfPrey you could try an electric kit. a lot of people use them and for learning theyre great.
Swaggasaur I was in a music shop a few years ago and tried a few but forced my self to leave after a few minutes otherwise I would have ruined my wallet haha. Part of the problem in this apartment is ... s p a c e or rather the lack of it.
But I can wait.
THEN!!! \:D/
Good for you.
when I looked up wedgie products it showed me various scissors and underwears
Tardis
Graham Atkinson underwear I understand but scissors? 😂😂😂😂
Not surprising
Yes, that was the most interesting from this stream.
I can’t stop staring at those guitars especially that light blue telecaster
I have a sunburst tele
Wilson The Coconut IT’S SEAFOAM GREEN
I like the green one to the far left
@@DJ-vg1pr HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW
that telecaster is distracting, its beautiful dude
No joke! Absolutely gorgeous.
looks like we have different tastes ;)
The tele is where it's at
that tele is amazing
+Jack & Ryan Guitar That's my boy!
"wedgie.com... wedgiePRODUCTS.com"
you gotta be carful on the Internet xD
Some people just press record and go for it, and don't do enough work. This is one of those times. Some good ideas, but, he waffles on.
Don't do enough work? Where is your contribution in teaching learning musicians?
😂
wedgie.com actually evpired last month
The Crate Powerblock is a versatile life saver! The perfect backup in case you amp blows at a gig. I've also used it as a clean power for a modeler unit by bypassing the front preamp, which can also be used in stereo if you'd like. All you need are two small cabs. It's also perfect as a dedicated amp to drive a Talkbox. I bought mine years ago on clearance for 50 bucks👍
I do the first one, but without the rubber piece. I just put the spare pick through the strings above the nut(on a floyd rose)
"It makes a great weapon to hit them with" I liked after that. Might have to get me a stage ninja.
you can also strangle with cables, or use it like a whip, lots of nice opportunities :D
I have Wedgies on several of my guitars- great product! I actually bought one initially because I have a Taylor that had fairly noticeable string ringing above the nut, and it was bothering me- I used to weave a piece of black fabric through the strings to mute them, but it was a tacky solution, so I looked for another way to fix the problem. The Wedgie worked perfectly, and of course I've got spare picks at hand also. I bought a few more for other guitars that had this issue.
Best gadget i know of is the S.O.S Offset Spacer. It's an intonation solution that acts like a compensated nut, but without any modification to your guitar. It's a tiny strip of plastic that is "shelved" to compensate the string length at the nut- you just slide it under your strings, kind of like having a compensated zero fret. It works FANTASTICALLY well. If you have a guitar with intonation issues, try it out. I have some old acoustics that had absolutely terrible intonation- they sound amazing now. Seriously, it's such an incredible difference to hear all your chords in tune. I put one on a couple of electrics also. Best $20 I've ever spent for a guitar product.
Just found your channel and cant get enough! The way you explain things, the topics you cover and your overall likeability made me a subscriber. Keep em coming!!!
back in the 60's they would leave one sting about one inch longer than the others to hold their cigarette while they played and sung a song.....lol not only was it handy, it looked cool too.....
The best pick holder I got is like 4 big paper clips on my strap, you can do 3 picks per clip, sometimes 4 if you space the paper clip out right. Thin picks on one, medium lights on the other, and medium on the last one, cheap, easy, and doesn't come anywhere near your guitar or strings.
Best guitar channel on RUclips. you're always bringing interesting gear and tricks to my attention.
Thanks,
Bill
I have a Crate CPB150. Cost £68, which is now worth around $7 (lol). The headphone socket emulates the speaker sound. I use it for recording, sounds great. And you can't help playing AC/DC. It just does that sound perfectly.
I gave this a thumbs up simply for the vacuum cleaner cord reference. I also have had the planet wave string tool for several years and love it. I use their cords too because they have a built in kill button so you kill the sound at the cord and switch guitars without the popping noise. And finally when it comes to slides I like the Jet Slide because it allows you to continue using the finger for chords or single notes and then bring the slide in when you want it. It comes in glass, brass and steel.
The String Cleaner is a must have for me. It clamps onto your strings and you can go from the nut to the bridge to clean them after a gig etc.
Stage Ninja, actually sounds like a weapon.
@War Zone you got the whole squad laughing
thanks for the tips varys
HA!
I'm still using a small copper pipe I found in the attic for slide, works pretty damn well though haha
The daddario pro winder new design besides being a winder, cutter, puller also has ridges on the handle that most no one knows serve as a string stretcher. Very handy when installing new strings to gain tuning stability.
One can also put a wedge on the head to replace lost hair.
+Metal Madness(singing) The Adams Family!
killin me!!!
you can now buy these products at your local dollar store.
Know this is older, but I LOVE some of these products too! For example, got a The Wedgie on a guitar I bought off someone, and could never figure out where to get more, all I knew it was a useful pick holder! And as a older guitar player who has blasted his ears out, both at concerts in my youth, and from my playing days, have been a fan of Fender filters for a longtime. Also use the D/a string winder tool, and have them faithfully in my gig cases. Will look into a couple others, but want to say Great Video!
I can't understand 1.4k dislikes. I've been watching lots of his videos and learnt a lot, very entertaining and educational.
I even revived an old guitar of mine through watching his tips
Stage ninja as a weapon lol. Also used for walking an extremely big dog
the other thing is with the cable thing, if it's easy to see, you're less likely to trip over it
Im actually wondering if there is any stretchable and retractable guitar cable gadget thing and I saw stage ninja and i was like: omg i need that
dude that crate amp is sweet! thanks im goin to get one!
This entire video is made worthwhile just by the crate power block. Didn't know it ever existed, and it sounds like the perfect tool for my musical needs.
hahahhahaua I am not advocating violence but if they walk away with your stuff maybe they were asking for it
I have 7 pick holders I love them. A product that does exactly what it says it does
I love that blue/green tele on the wall when u are demoing the Crate amp
Literally ordered the pick holder right after the end of this video, great idea
I love how he barely ever says "uh" "um" or anything like that and he knows exactly what he's saying always XD
so if you use the ninja on stage and walk too far away, it will just pull out the cable of your guitar? must be nice during a solo
ROFL
:'D
If you loop the cable around your strap and you'll be fine.
The cable might tighten, but the jack should stay put.
Happened to me, jerked the guitar out of my hands and killed 3 people on its way through my amp ultimately ending in the beer venders ice troff. . . Where it exploded. . . Injuring several more victims. . . I give the stage ninja 4 out of 5 samurai heads.
Setamine As long as everyone had fun xD
I use these tiny "Hotone" amp heads as backup at a gig. They are digital, only 5 watts, but incredibly loud. They come with volume, gain, and 3-band EQ. A headphone jack and effects loop in and out complete the professional image. I run mine through a 212 cab and get incredible sounds. Plus, the thing can damn-near fit in my pocket...so it doesn't take up a lot of room in the band van. I now have TWO of them. One is mostly clean while the other is really hot and dirty. I bought an A-B footswitch so I can move easily between them. Then I simply built a second pedalboard (headboard?) with the two heads and switch pedal and I'm ready to go. Amazing sound. "The Moose" - Vagabond
So glad I'm not the only Crate fan left I have a crate practice amp that I wish my bigger amps sounded like lol.
*choose your weapon*
*Oilzing chose*
-stage ninga-
Edit - do not remember posting this but I'm glad I did.
xD
Is that fret board oil? I googled it...nothing.
You are great. Can you do some review on the Hagstrom Impala retroscape? Thank you
“Im not advocating for violence but maybe they asked for it idk” lmaooooo
Good recommendations. That Crate unit I purchased back "in the day" and used it for all my Line 6 stuff and as a keyboard amp. There are TONS of portable "pedal sized" amps now that work about the same way for even less money, but that Crate had a TON of features for the price and ran cool. It was a Champ.
Thank you, Phillip!!
Great Idea! Saving me so much picks!
I don't know why but when you're trying to break gear I tend to buy those. Chucking the Korg tuner has sealed the deal, I will order one today.
Life hacks for guitarists... Great idea. The fewer/smaller the headaches and distractions, the more focused my brain power is on playing.
That D'Addario string winder with cutter was my favorite thing in the world until the new version came out. The new version has a silver cutter instead of a black one.. and it has a lot of trouble cutting through E, B, and even G strings. It's such a bummer. I used to sell the crap out of them to my customers, but now I can't because I don't really "believe in them" anymore.
Big fan of the Crate amp ever since my pops bought one 10 years ago. :)
Yeah, I'm with you about the D'Addario 3 in one. We use them at our store when we do string changes so they get a lot of wear, and they don't cut through the thinner strings anymore. I used to be able to sell them to customers all the time, because they saw how easy it was so change strings with them, but now they lose their interest once I have to get out the wire cutter/pliers to cut their E and B strings. I've noticed with mine that if you change your strings often enough, the cutter gets pretty dull after a few months.
+Julia Morris it's sad that they cheaped out on the steel. I have a $3 pair of Chinese pliers I use that's going on 5 years now. never let me down for guitar or bass
Damn! Yet another person who knows 7 things more than I did!!!
I love that you advocate ear filters! I have suffered from hearing loss and tinitus from music and I am only 24! I came across etymotic's ear filters, they are 7-12 USD and top notch- worth having several sets for shows, gigs, etc!
the green guitars just make me so happy ;))
As far as the ear filters: I've been married for 43 years. Why in the hell would I want to save my hearing?......
Thank you sir. I worked for a promoter & iatse for over 40 years. I am 1/2 deaf. Sometimes it is a blessing only hearing a portion of the crap people are saying. It is getting worse. I am from L.A.-now living in Mpls, MN. There are more Somali and other pain in the ass refugees here listening to them has put me on a steady diet of Xnax. Why would I want to hear more. Sorry abut your wife. I hope things workout. There is no plesant divorce. I know. Good luck.
That is the funniest shit I've heard all day!
When it comes to listening to my girlfriend, I go into "selective listening mode". Works wonders.
ROFL!!!
Lmfao
great tips.
the ear filters might be exactly what I`m looking for.
i dont feel like getting any deafer
Go for it! Having good ears is VERY important for a musician. Many people don't realize how crucial it is.
+Mark Cheetah Including beethoven
Retractable lead and pick holder, simple but great assets. Many thanks.
Thank you for showing us the gadgets and the fun you bring to the videos
man im just gonna point out, you're such a sweet guy and that makes your videos 10x better, keep it up!
Stage ninja reminds me of my dog leash.
love your videos!! thank u for them!!
I do like the clip-on tuners for when I am playing in quiet environments, however, I have had some problems with my Korg during live performance. I had to replace a broken string so my band mates startet a jam to bridge the gap. With all the vibrations going on around me the sensor was not able to correctly pick up my guitar so I could not get it in tune. I have since gone back to a tuner pedal for live gigs. So, be aware of that if you are thinking about using one of these on stage.
"a great weapon to hit them with" lol
Did you mention what the Cable Genie does? I didn't hear it if you did.
Interesting stuff, as I am just getting into playing guitars and I am really enjoying watching your informative videos! Great stuff....!
I bought the Crate amp at Guitar Center for $99 years ago. I have never used it other than turning it on when I got it to make sue it worked but I carry it as a back up. The coolest thing about this little amp is the neat case it comes in. I have never seen a more protective case for anything.
I use the Wedgies also for dampening the strings behind the bridge on my hollowbody guitars.
Can't wait to tell the guys at the guitar store I watched a video and I want to buy a wedgie. HA!
I happen to have a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on one side and RCA connectors on the other so I can actually utilize that cd input.
I haven't been able to play my guitar for a couple of years, cramps in my hands & forearms, but I do like watching your videos.
I agree that Snark tuners are fragile...
I think that is why they feature them so much at Guitar Center!
People break 'em and have to buy another.....
Batteries don't last as long on the Snark tuners either....
Also, Guitar Center sells them for an insane 30 bucks, while you can get them online for $7.
I've gotten that tuner for "free" with a bass deal, works fine for me, its nice because of the swiveling head.
Hey, man. So the tuner works works on bass, too? O guess it would work on my 8-string guitar (with low B and F# strings)?
@@oddfellowfloyd Worked on my bass, strat, and my kids ukulele, recommend.
Your whole presentation is so calm, down to earth, fun to watch. More like having a buddy show me cool things, not like some sales pitch. Very well done! Keep up the good work! You def have a long time subscriber from me!
Thanks, Great suggestions!
Brian Johnston could do with the ear protection or he might just go deaf
He uses in ear monitors that protects more. The monitor sound itself is still loud and distorted. The latest thing I think is anti-distortion devices that makes a great difference. rev33 I think it's called. maybe not the only one.
Hope to see him in the front of band again the ear defenders we were issued in the army blocked out the sound of a fire fight normally we would be deaf but works great remember seeing AC-DC IN Belfast in 79 brill
MrACangusyoungDC hope Brian is well and hearing is good
that is more egos at work and has little to do with loss of hearing im afraid,Brian has been in ac/dc for over 30 yrs and has raced cars for a very long time,if he was going to loose his hearing it would've happened already.i laughed when i heard this,hearing loss is not immediate its gradual.
you are hearing a fabricated story with no basis in truth,im willing to bet the farm on this one.
Well Angus Young says he has problems with his hearing that is what you might say straight from the horses mouth there is a link +MrACangusyoungDC
I enjoyed your video, thank you. A couple of those things I had not seen before.
Just a friendly recommendation... I think you should look into becoming an affiliate for products like this.
Years ago when I used to recommend gear to my students and followers I was an affiliate for musicians friend. It's free to sign up and you just send them a link that make sure you receive part of the purchase. You have over 52,000 views and I'm sure many people have went and bought these products on your recommendation. You should be compensated for your time and knowledge.
Just a thought :)
Thank you for taking the time and posting the information. By the way love, love, love, your Jason Becker guitar.
Thank you, it's an incredible guitar and I have been a fan of his since the 80s. I have followed his struggle closely and I'm always inspired by all that he is overcome and done.
Thank you very much I just bought the pick holder :)
I really like the Etymotic triple-flange plugs/filters. I appreciate the neutral EQ.
I will have to check them out. Thank you for posting
"If you like the video hit like! If you dislike the video hit dislike!"
Around 1985, D'Addario came out with a full-page ad in Guitar Player Magazine. In big letters it said, "Dah-Dairy-Oh". Just sayin'.
You should have a cool little riff you play everytime you say "know your gear". I could try to write one for you. Great videos, thanks for making them.
I got one of those winders for a spare, used it once and had to reset the screw. It's a design flaw if you use it on a 3/3 where you wind the opposite way
You seem like a good person/guitarist... you earn a subscription from me! Keep up the good work!
I desperately want your green PRS!
I want it to
And the tele
I appreciate the review of that Crate amp block. I've seen these for sale on Craigslist and thought they might be good, but never heard one in operation before. Like all of your gear reviews. Thanks.
Great tips! I've used the pick wedgie for the last ten years, and I like it. I should get some more to put on all my guitars.
I'm going to get the ear filters for work, my ears take a real pounding.
you could just stick the picks into your pickguard? looks cooler too
How?
Like tony iommi lol
just jam them from the bottom
+Nick Rielsen Saw Sabbath live as a kid, made me beg for my first guitar and have been jamming picks in it ever since
I have acoustic only what do I do😅😅
I bought a cheap, but awesome sounding Cort acoustic which came with a chromatic Cort tuner. I have a Snark, and I was going to give the Cort to my son, until I gave it a spin!
It's a pretty accurate tuner and has several options for drop tuning, violins, bass, and of course guitars.
So ya, my son is now the proud owner of a SNARK tuner!!

Thanks for the tips.. cool items!
The most left green guitar looks awesome. What is it?
PRS SC24.5 Emerald Green I want one to
Some kind of les paul
Terraria it’s a PRS
@@mr.purple250 my bad it looked like a les paul to me but I'm a beginner. What's a prs?
I broke a Snark.
I like my Snark.
If ever there were two titles begging to be attached to rock instrumental tracks, these are they!
I jumped the Snark
TomboLP That's a very cool inlay, my friend :-)
In the Netherlands there were some tests of ear filters and the best non-custom filters were from Alpine.
When you go to a concert hall in the Netherlands you can get Thunderplugs for €2.00-€3.00 from some sort of chewing gumball machine.
I have 3 sets or so, because I often forget my Alpines when I go to a concert.
Great video, bro. I may try out one of these products sometime in the future
I saw someone walking away from stage with my gretsch 6118T some years ago. Just in time to get my baby back from this fxx MoFo. Always mark your gear!

I own 5 of the pitchclips. I love them.
Thanks for your Vids! I've watched almost all of them in one day haha. Definitely inspired me to be more aware of my gear and my sound and I'm looking foward to buying some tools to take care of my ax
did you use the super champ for the intro part?
The Intro is a Fender Supersonic 22 with my PRS Mira.

I came here to like this video because you didn't make the assumption that no one would know about the products.
I have those fender earplugs and they work great for concerts and band practice
