      😂😂😂😂 my 60s reissue strat that I bought over 25 years ago is so heavy that anytime I’ve ever brought it in to get tuned up, the first thing I hear is “holy shit this strat is insanely heavy”. It’s way heavier than my SG or Tele, and I’ve had it guillotine, with the strap coming off the top nut, swinging down, and breaking 2 of my toes in slip on Vans. I never liked the way Les Pauls look, but the weight of them was enough to also never want one.

    Fact 10
    The Ukulele is a baby guitar also
    Most people don't know that it grows either to an electric or acoustic based on it's surroundings
    Most ukus are about 2-3 years when they grow into an akward half-guitar and then 1-4 years later based on their will power they begin their final transformation into a big guitar
    This has was a "legit fact" on my year in abroad school.. We had a god couple of people playing ukus

    Hello Mr. Samurai Guitarist, I am a great fan of your videos since they are not like any other's conventional methods. So I'm a big fan, a big big fan of yours(since you are Japanese). Anyway I wanted some advice from you and I hope you would help me, so here goes. I'm mainly talking about metal here. Some guitarists themselves or advice us to pick just one genre(usually their favourite and keep practicing only that genre all the time until they become really good at their genre, They never play or practice other genres because they say it's a waste of time and we wont become really great at any of them.Also I'd like to tell you that these one genre super guitarists lack versatility.For other guitarists there is a school of thought that, playing/practicing and being very good in their genre but they cant call themselves complete guitarist.This is what I do-I play the following genres and subgenres- Traditional Heavy Metal,Doom metal,Black Metal, Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Blues,Classic Rock, Finger style picking and Classical Guitar.Even though I lean a bit too much towards the metal and its sub genres, I enjoy playing them. I'm an advanced guitarist(I would like to think)who just made the leap from being an intermediate player. Could you please give me your opinions on this. I would be very grateful for it. I'm sorry about the length of the post.Thanks in advance,Cheers,Anup(India)
