I'm 63 years old, have lived all over the country, and still have (PROUDLY) hanging on the wall my first guitar, a Japanese-made Ventura 335-type guitar. My parents bought it for me when I was 12 (1972), and I hated it, cause all my friends had strats and teles and solid body guitars. Today I love that we've both survived the journey, so far✌
335’s are incredible instruments, i’m a sound engineer, there’s technically nothing they can’t do, from obviously jazz and blues and other “classic” styles to modern day ambient and various kinds of rock derived styles
I’m confused as to which is should consider my first guitar lmao. I bought a schecter omen but two weeks before that my cousin gave me his Yamaha pacifica. Didn’t really play the Pacifica much tho
My first guitar actually ended up at a local music store and my wife bought for me for Christmas. It was a crappy Harmony I purchased through Fingerhut. In high school I had given it to a friend after I purchased a new guitar and then never saw it again. Then over 20 years later I see it in the music sites Facebook and told my wife about it and unwrapped it in Christmas that year. It was a cool experience.
Harmony is not a crappy guitar. Still have my electric and acoustic purchased at "Best" department store in the 80's they both still play and look great.
Prayers, love, and best wishes to you and your family brother. You inspired me to learn to play, and i just bought my first guitar a few days ago actually. I will definitely hang on to it.
@Dominic Dager… I’ll share with you what I share with all my beginner students…. The guitar, like nothing else, is something that will only give you back what you put into it. Practice hard and have a blast!
@Alexander Winston I appreciate the advice haha! Gonna have to figure out how to read and remember these tab sheets and what notes are what hahaha its not really intuitive to me haha but we're gonna get it!
RIP Tim. Know that your influence on Tyler caused a ripple in the waters. Think of how far your passion for music has spread, channeled through him, to millions of his followers, and inspired them to learn. Thank you for you performance down here, good Sir. Now go take your place on the big stage, in the house band. ☁❤ ☁
I still remember the day my younger brother came to my house with his guitar and said “I want you to have this”- he passed away 3 months later due to cancer. Then I start learning to play guitar and this cheap guitar is a treasure to me.
Those 90’s strats are hidden gems. Priced along and cheaper than new ones and build and sound better as they gain that vintage accolade. I bought a 96 Mustang new back then and it’s crazy how unique that thing has become
Yep. My first bass in 1987 was an already old and beat up Cort pbass copy. It was in the possession of an old HS friend when he was killed by a drunk driver so I never knew what happened to it. But I do still have the Kramer I bought new soon after in 1988. The same bass we recorded at his home on a 4 track with, and still have those tapes. Stuff I hope to keep forever.
Hey man, I'm sorry for your loss. I said a prayer for your family. I love that Tim was an inspiration to you, and his son is playing too! Very cool. Good of you to make that trade. It may just push him into the next level with that bit of inspiration.
I've started guitar lessons. Starting on Acoustic for now, though I aim to mainly play electric. Let me tell you though, I love this thing so much. I'm keeping this thing until I die, and even then I'm probably getting buried with it
I started playing guitar about 6 months ago and had the same idea as you but 3 months ago I switched to electric. If that's what you want to do then don't wait, trust me.
Don’t start on acoustic go straight to electric it is not the same. They’re 2 different instruments with different limits. Get yourself a Squier trust me
@@jchristner82 that bullshit kept me from learning guitar at 9 because I got a classical when I wanted an electric. I couldnt play what the cool guys on tv were playing so I quit back then
@@SuicideSeason4545 i learned on acoustic for my first year and switching to electric was just fine, but of course it took like a whole 6 months to be able to adjust my playing style to where it didn't sound sloppy and messy through the amp
Start on whatever guitar you want! That being said, I would pick acoustic to start on because electric is easier to play. It's the same as learning to drive with a manual transmission. If you can drive a manual, you can drive an automatic. If you learn to drive an automatic and at some point need to drive a manual, it's going to be so difficult! Acoustic vs electric isn't quite that extreme but I would always say to start on acoustic. That's just my opinion though. Whatever you do, don't give up!
We all need that someone to show us the way to music. It's my dad who showed me. Thanks, Pa. Thank you Tyler for the story. Sorry for your loss. Uncle Tim lives on.
Rest well, Tim. My 1st was a Crate Electra Standard, a black Les Paul copy. Still have it over 20 years later! ...everything eventually got worked on or replaced lol, the only things original are the nut, bridge, and paint. 50s wiring, Gibson pickups, and stainless steel re-fret, it plays like a dream.
I'm not crying you are! No, all jokes aside, sorry to hear of your loss to you and your family. I send you all the positive vibes to you, my dude. I'm sure if there is an after life, he's incredibly proud of you. Much love to you brotha.
My favorite is still my first guitar. It took me a few years to figure out that the one you learn to play on will always feel the best in your hands. It's a Fender MIM bought new in '96.
I wouldn't say that my first guitar is my favorite, because that's one of the guitars I build myself, but my first has a very special place in my heart.
My second Guitar which I cant play cause I have nerve issues with my hands and my fingers dont always work right is a 1993 MIM Standard Strat, best sounding guitar ever, also was made just before the factory burned to the ground the later guitars never sounded as good.
RIP Uncle Tim. That jam with your cousin at the end brought a tear to my eye and raised the hairs on my arms - as much for the overtones of family, a tribute to Tim and passing/repassing of the baton - as it was for the music itself. I still have my first guitar - sat forgotten and unloved in a cupboard for a few decades. During the unfortunate circumstances of the past few years with lockdowns etc - I got it out, completely refurbished it and gave it a new paint job. Brings a smile to my face to look at it on the wall and compels me to pick it up.
Awesome video! My first guitar was a prs se Santana that I worked an entire summer to buy when I was around 20ish. Still have it almost 20 years later. Sometimes the mojo is just right...and this one is still my main electric guitar.
My first "guitar" was a yamaha guitalele from over half a decade ago. I was still quite young and know nothing about music theory and scales and all that stuff so i assumed it was a regular guitar but much smaller instead of having a different tuning. It got given away by my dad during the pandemic to a low income family, but i dont really care since i already had a yamaha cg102 from 1 or 2 years before the pandemic plus its helping the poor lol
This is the best guitar video I’ve seen. I have been playing for 40 years I’d love to find my first guitar. I grew up in Londonderry NH right in between Hudson and Derry. Sorry for the loss of your uncle. This video really touched me. 😊🤘
My Uncle is a guitarist and showed me a lot of music as a kid, especially stuff like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Sabbath and all the heavy hitters of the late 60s and early 70s, so I owe a lot to my uncle as well. My first guitar is sitting in my parent's closet, Dad says it will never leave unless I'm the one taking it with me. Crazy how those very first guitars hold so much emotion in them all these years later, more than we would ever know, right? This was truly beautiful to see, I could feel your emotions through the screen. Thoughts going your way during your time of loss, I can definitely see his influence on you. Glad you were able to receive that blessing and gift!
This one hit me harder than I thought. My dad passed away a couple of days before this was posted and he's solely responsible for my love of music. He taught me all the greats. Granted, he couldn't play an instrument, his passing has revamped my interest in picking up guitar again so I can always play and be with him.
R.I.P. to your uncle Tim. I recently lost my favorite uncle as well. If anyone understands the feelings and emotions that you had making this video, it is me. My uncle and I had a really strong bond and I miss him a lot. My heart is with you brother!! Great video
It's a nostalgic trip for sure. I still have my first guitar. A spanish guitar with a broken string that I need to restring soon haha. Congrats on your find Tyler!
Tyler, Probably my favorite video of yours and I've seen most of them. Uncle Tim looks like he might have played some football in his life. I bet the top hat was good rehab for that zipper scar on his left knee. Infectious smile and whatever drink in his hand at the end is just a plain ole awesome pic. I hope you have that on a wall somewhere. I bet he was a fun Uncle. RIP-UNCLE TIM!
i still play my first guitar even though ive bought and sold several, this particular squier strat was perfect. and now that it's 11 years old it's sooo playable it's priceless
I found my first guitar in my parents closet a few years ago. It was a red strat copy that i bought myself when i was 13, think it was 1997. The neck was broken and pickups had rusted because it had been in a garage for many years but the white plastic details had aged beautifully creamy 😁 So i bought some Fender pickups, new electronics, a rosewood fretboard neck and fixed some details. Now it's my number one guitar 👍
What matters is the body and the exact guitar loool. Feels nostalgic when you get it. My first guitar is a $150 handmade lespaul. Fast forward everything with it sucks. Hardwares all tarnished and green, action is 5mm high, pots are all not working/scratchy and the only thing that works is the pickup. Change the hardware and machine heads to gotoh, replace the pickups with Duncans, Set it up then plays good and feels good again. Fortunately it is a bolt on les paul so i can change the neck if i want to.
Sorry for your loss. It’s great to have had a cool uncle to inform your playing. I got rid of my first THREE guitars when I was a starving student. I don’t regret two of them, but one was a lawsuit era 70s El Degas Les Paul, and I regretted losing that one. Thankfully, a few years later I found an almost identical one for a very good price, upgraded the pickups, and I’ve had it for about 25 years now. I learned my lesson and never got rid of another one after those first three. I lend guitars out regularly to friends and family, sometimes for years, but I always get them back.
Man, I am sorry for your loss, but this beautiful video was something amazing to come out of it all. My first guitar was a cream colored no-name brand telecaster. I do still have it!
Your cousin looks like he could actually be your brother. Much love from Romania and condolences for your loss. As for Uncle Jim, people like him, who are disabled, and people who live with them and help with their everyday life, are some of the strongest people on the face of the earth. I may be saying this cause I am disabled myself, and might be an exception to the aforementioned rule, but especially the people who care for us are superhumans. Best regards from a multi instrumentalist living in Romania. :)
My friend let me borrow a guitar last week so I can learn, and I love to watch you videos while I practice. I’m gonna pick up a few extra shifts so I can buy my first guitar in a few weeks.
Sounded like he started playing look at what the light did now by matthew white and flo morrisey? i love that song, it makes me happy. Also, at the end when he and his cousin were playing "together", that was a very touching moment. Beautiful video and dedication to his uncle.
Awesome video I wish I could have my first guitar back. I had to hock it for groceries back in the nineties. It was a Fender lead iii. Black and white. Miss that guitar.
Mine was a First Act but that didn't get me anywhere because it didn't last. Little cousins destroyed it. The first guitar I learned on was one my dad won at Cedar Point 😁
my first guitar... well..... it was 1981... I was 14. My Dad went to the guitar shop which was 2 blks from our house and he knew how much I loved Black Sabbath. So he bought me a 1968 Gibson SG junior (with one P-90 pickup) and a Peavey Backstage amp. He paid $325 for the guitar / amp combo. $200 for the guitar and $125 for the amp.. That was a lot of money to spend on a christmas present back then. When I opened the guitar case (which said Gibson on it) I literally started crying... I was so happy ! I never put that guitar down.. I used to fall asleep with it in my arms. Then about 3 years later I traded it for a flying V... a white 1972 Gibson Flying V just like my heroes Michael Schenker and Wolf Hoffman (from Accept) played. I sold the amp around 1987 because I had a bought a Marshall 100 watt stack. Then about 5yrs later I found the amp ! I bought it instantly. Still have it. Since then I've owned 300-400 guitars. For about 15yrs I used to fix / build guitars for a living. Just 2 years ago I finally bought a 1968 Gibson SG.. standard .. lols. It plays EXACTLY like my Junior did. I'll never sell it ! Back then there was no such thing as vintage guitars. They were just called "used". When I got my 68' SG it was 13 yrs old. It wasn't vintage... it was just an old SG. Nobody wanted SGs then. All the kids wanted the pointy guitars... flying V's and explorers. So today, buying a 13 yr old guitar..... that'd be like buying a used 2010 guitar... no big deal. LOLs...
My first guitar was a Yamaha Pacifica. Was a great guitar but I got rid of it when I ran out of space. About 5 years later i found it in a local studio as one of the house guitars. Was very beaten up but at least had found a new life. I will never know what happened to my second guitar which was an epiphany 56 goldtop. I can't even remember what I did with it.
still have my first guitar as well it was a little beginners accoustic guitar i also never realized how much my fender electric guitar was worth till today dang i dont play electric guitar really though since im a country artist i prefer accoustic but i cant afford a decent guitar ive bought several cheaper guitars and none will even play really hopefully one day ill get a better one hope ya have an amazing happy new years and im sorry to hear about your loss
I still have my first guitar. Recently had to make my mother bring it from another country and made it a full recondition at Guitar Center in Orlando, FL.
My nephew has my first acoustic, it was a crappy rouge but it made my fingers strong.. hopefully he'll really learn to play it one day and I can inspire him the way your uncle inspired you... music has a beautiful way of connecting us in ways words never could!
33 years ago I bought my 1st electric guitar, a 91 fiesta red Hank Marvin signature Japanese squire. It still hangs on my man cave wall well used to the point it desperately needs a refret and new fingerboard lacquer but hey it’s character right?
Started my Music/Guitar journey in 2014 with a simple Fender Bass, eventually moved on to 6 Strings about a year later, my 2nd ever bass is a WarWick Corvette $$ (Double Buck) 5 String, that I picked up second hand for about $500. My first serious 6 string is an LTD M100-FM, keep in mind I was a kid when I was getting these guitars so I had no serious budget, but I've had all of my OG Guitars since I've bought them, and my Fender Bass and M100-FM are two Guitars I refuse to let go, I still have my WarWick but it needs some serious maintenance and just a general overhaul of its original electronics and Pickups, my M100-FM is also due for Electronics work and that will be the first guitar to get its work done to it. I'll never forget as a new guitar player, getting a Floyd Rose as a relatively new 6 String player, the egregious process of just learning what there is to know not only about guitar technical basics, but also the maintenance basics of a Floyd Rose without having any knowledge of how they really worked, at first it was a massive undertaking because it seemed so daunting to set it up or even restring it, but not much later I had the hang of it and that M100-FM had thousands of hours put on it in the span of 7 years, and still has hundreds of hours put on it every year. My most recent guitar was a 1994 (or '96 I can't remember exactly, but it was within the first couple of years of Mexi Strat Production models) Mexican Stratocaster, I can't afford American Strats so I went with the Mexi and my god did she sing, unfortunately due to personal and familial issues I had to get rid of it and it is something I will always regret having to do and it put a huge hole in my heart because that Guitar was a gift to me. Regardless, the first Guitar, or for me the first couple, are the guitars that should never be sold and should always be kept. Even if they aren't played anymore, because once you fall in love with music and guitars you will always get a sense of nostalgia and appreciation every time you look at them. My first bass is far out of working order (Missing bridge pieces, bad electronics/pickups, ect) but I plan to do a massive overhaul to it and bring it up to High End Fender Bass standards in the future, even though I barely, if ever really play Bass anymore, after that, since it will likely get little play time, I'm going to buy a big wall-mounted black box to put it into and hang it up in my room, along with my other guitars on the wall. I think the main takeaway here is that regardless of how 'cheap' some of our first guitars are, the sentimental value is astronomically high, the struggle, frustration, and eventual gratification that you get from learning and, frankly, beating on those first few instruments is something you will never forget once you become a seasoned Guitarist.
I found my first guitar again in a pawn shop, something about the neck shape and the tones are like comfort food. Your Uncle Tim definitely planted a seed, you sound great!
This was so cool to watch. Condolences for your loss. I'm happy you got your first guitar back. I also got mine back a couple of years ago after 20 years and it's what you said exactly - Home!
I still have my first bass. A Westone Thunder 1. For some reason I called him Eric back in the day and that is how I still refer to him. I retired him from live shows several years ago as he weighs a ton and I now have many and varied, lighter options but Eric was one of the best sounding basses I have ever owned. Third hand to me, bought off a guy who was in the college rock band, for £90 when I was 17 yrs old (I’m 54 next month) I love that you got your first baby back, Tyler ❤️
I'm sixteen about to get my own first guitar in a couple of days and I'm exited to begin this learning journey and becoming a part of this fantastic community. I'm getting a stratocaster from fender and I hope I'll treasure and love the instrument as much as all the other phenomenal people in these comments.
I'm sorry for your loss, and the only thing I can say is thank you for your videos and for giving me the hope to become a great musician. I think the best gift your uncle gave you is the ability to inspire others, for example me who has been following you from Ecuador for almost 5 years. Thank you for everything
My condolences on your loss. Maybe your uncle had a hand in your reconnecting with your first guitar. I still have my first guitar; a right handed, late 80's/early 90's Profile guitar from Sears. Found out with that guitar, I am actually a left handed player. So turned the nut around and restrung it to match. One day it was stolen from me and about 2 weeks later, it turned up in the local pawn shop. Since there aren't a lot of no name guitars strung upside down in this town, the shop owner (reluctantly) allowed me to take it, free of charge (I did offer to pay at least something for it, for his troubles).
I just recently got my first guitar working again. It’s a cheap 1996 Squier Affinity Strat from one of those guitar starter bundles that I got when I was 15. The moment I started playing it, I was instantly back in my teenage bedroom. It’s wild how much it hits me in the feels when I play it. Never let go of your first.
Another great video, Tyler. Sorry for your loss. Tim will always live on in your memories and wonderful music. Remember the good times and keep on strumming my friend.
I've been digging your commentary for about a week now I don't remember which video lead me your way, but I've watched each one that pops up on my feed. Finally subscribed because you present a delightful cadence. Thank you for sharing. You seem like good people.
I was very close to two of my uncles. One taught me to shoot and hunt, the other taught me to drive an 18 wheel tractor trailer. All f this happen between the ages of 13 to 16. I don't hunt anymore, but I still shoot. Drove an 18 wheeler part-time for some extra cash years ago. This is all about fond memories that I'll never forget, and it sounds like you will remember your Uncle Tim for the rest of your life. So sorry for your loss. I know how you must feel. Happy Holidays, Rich
As someone who lives right outside Nashville It's so cool seeing you hit all the spots that I do, like Carter vintage, Nashville GC, Rumble seat, Ghurn's. you never know, maybe I'll run into you one day! Especially when you see you interact with the same people as I do!
So sorry for your loss, just want to say thanks for staying strong and continuing to inspire guitarists all around the world! I still have my first guitar (obviously, I've only been playing for 4 years). It's a 2004 Affinity Strat that was trash picked, it has the big CBS style headstock (which I actually like) and the neck is unusually narrow. I'm left handed so we did a Jimi Hendrix on it and also swapped the pickups out for some cheap eBay Alnico-V ones. It is much better now and plays pretty good, it feels very sure footed and produces the same feeling as an old crummy car that you just can't get enough of now that you've fixed a major issue.
I'm Sorry for you loss, and thank you for helping me be more knowledgeable about guitars. Also for those who want to know, the guitar is a Cort Pro Custom Strat style.
No my neighbour has it now gave to him as gift and my first strat to my older brother and I parted with a thunderbird bass to my nephew. All firsts Lol I still have three bass and five electric guitars which are going nowhere because they are my babies! Lets not forget two drum sets! For the Animal in me after guitar practice. Music is a huge deal to me and so are some lessons you share thanks again man.
Growing up I always used to fall back on rap music r&b.. my uncle who passed away many years ago always pushed me to listen to older rock, Ozzy Pink Floyd Zeppelin. And I never got into it. After his passing I started to listen to as much rock as possible old-new. Then finally, just year ago, I picked up a guitar and have been learning everyday. Wish I would have listened to my uncle way back then when he was here. Learning something related with guitars is a part of my everyday routine. If it wasn’t for my uncle I probably wouldn’t even of ever picked up a guitar.
my first guitar is in storage using the box of my newest guitar. it is not playble at the moment, but I refuse to sell it and intend to restore it! really sorry for your loss, man...
What a Great video Tyler and a Great way to Honor the ones we Love ! Would have liked to see the duo with Jack on the new axe, but nevertheless it was Awesome too see and hear !
I'm actually making a new nut for my first guitar as I speak. The thing is about 35 years old and still plays and even still has all the band stickers on it. Awesome video and sorry for your loss
amazing video. Gave me chills and reminded me of my first 1990 star squire. I'm sure your uncle Tim is looking down on you with a smile. Keep up the good work, Jimmy Cusack
Don’t have my first (1972 SG) however, my second guitar was a 1977 FlyingV which I fell in love with, it fit my hand like a glove, thick fat smooth sound ❤, unfortunately as bands do we went our separate ways and I needed to pay rent and eat 😢. So, I traded it and it’s custom Anvil case for cash, and a 1965 Melody Maker. (which I still have) but trying to find or get something close to what I had is mega bucks for a beat up one. So… I’m building one now. And I’m in love with playing again after many decades! Never forget your first (or second) love! Sometimes you can go back!! Love the story, love your channel! Keep keeping it real my friend. 🙏
As a 19 year old who got his first junior Spanish guitar in year 5 when I was about like 9 I still have it in pristine condition , changed the strings over the years and learned everything I know with it , today I bought my first ever electric guitar which was a 15 year old squier se special strat, the great price I saw and how it looked and the age just spoke to me, no regrets I already have a love for this guitar while still waiting on my amp to arrive, I’ll never sell my two first guitars for acoustic and electric
I went and rebought my original guitar (well, same model, color & year of the odd bird Squier HM3 (1989)), and it is SUPER DUPER fun to play one's original guitar. I busted it out over the weekend, and when it comes down to it, the only thing that needed upgrading was my playing. (I have replaced the pups...). What was even more fun was playing it live with my band over the summer! Congrats!
Nice on ya man . Rip Uncle Tim. That pro II in dark night is what i would have grabbed personally but you picked a winner . we need the followup vid with Jackson rippin some tunes on that black beauty
Sorry for your loss. I actually still have my first guitar, a Series 10 S type that I got for Christmas in 1988. It's been through some cosmetic changes as well as some of the electronics. I still pull it down off of the wall and play it occasionally.
I'm sorry for your loss 😢 but thank you for the continued inspiration. You make great content. Yes I still have my first guitar. I know, that, feeling, I get it when I think about playing my first still. She sits beside me all the time.
I have warmed up to your channel over the last couple years. As a fellow Tennessean and someone who lives in Music City, i would like to say that you represent us well. Though I may cringe a bit every now and then, your skills and content keep bringing me back. 😁 Keep up the good work.
Loved the jam with you both at the end!! Congrats on finding your first electric guitar Tyler & respect to Uncle's Tim and Jim!! Great guitars for you both. My first electric guitar was a strat-likr Japanese St. George in almost the same yellow. I have been searching for one just like it but alas, have come up empty... the search continues.
I'm 62 and bought my first guitar just recently. I've borrowed guitars over the years and kept them for awhile but never owned one until now. Better late than never I suppose.
I located my first guitar, but was unable to retrieve it. It was a dream guitar I had custom made from Hamer in 1993. I ran into hard times and sold it on eBay for a song in 2013. This year, I started looking for it and joined a Hamer user group to help. Based on my specs it was located in Russia and was even featured on a Russian RUclips channel. Needless to say after reaching out to the channel and its creators in English and Russian through RUclips and Facebook, I got no response. I wish I was able to buy it back, but no luck. I ended up hiring a luthier to making a new dream guitar to help with the loss.
I always wanted to make a video of me playing all the basic starter instruments with an original song. Main guitar is a 1984 harmony electric bought from a Sears catalog.
Sorry for your recent loss first and foremost, also you are just an absolute legend man! I watch your stuff all.the time, I don't learn a whole lot from you as a player as when I watch your stuff it just blows my mind, I was late to the party but love being a learner, and learning anything about guitars and gear I what I love doing!! All rhe best for the new year, and nope I do not own ky first guitar which I obvs regret, it was an older peavey acoustic and it was bloody stunning!
I do. My LTD Explorer. Both knobs are broken, the bridge has practically rotted away, and there's huge chunks missing out of the horns... love that thing.

Do you still have your first guitar?
Yep!
yes
I am using it right now! Its been 3 years and i haven't left it alone for more than 2 days!
Yes!
yep!!
I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for continuing to inspire me and over a million other people to pursue music!
my 1st is about 3 meters away from me. touch it every few years. i get a new one each year, so i have 15.
I'm 63 years old, have lived all over the country, and still have (PROUDLY) hanging on the wall my first guitar, a Japanese-made Ventura 335-type guitar. My parents bought it for me when I was 12 (1972), and I hated it, cause all my friends had strats and teles and solid body guitars. Today I love that we've both survived the journey, so far✌
335’s are incredible instruments, i’m a sound engineer, there’s technically nothing they can’t do, from obviously jazz and blues and other “classic” styles to modern day ambient and various kinds of rock derived styles
My first guitar was also a hollow body
That's awesome
Haven’t touched my first guitar in more than a year but refuse to sell it
*If it's part of you, if music it's part of you then you should keep it as a sign of what you truly love and care.*
dont. i sold mine... regret it. 13 years later.
I’m confused as to which is should consider my first guitar lmao. I bought a schecter omen but two weeks before that my cousin gave me his Yamaha pacifica. Didn’t really play the Pacifica much tho
@@Blob.fishmusic never rid of the schecter. I have my first schecter to this day and prefer it to most my other ones honestly.
Pretty much me lol
My first guitar actually ended up at a local music store and my wife bought for me for Christmas. It was a crappy Harmony I purchased through Fingerhut. In high school I had given it to a friend after I purchased a new guitar and then never saw it again. Then over 20 years later I see it in the music sites Facebook and told my wife about it and unwrapped it in Christmas that year. It was a cool experience.
Harmony is not a crappy guitar. Still have my electric and acoustic purchased at "Best" department store in the 80's they both still play and look great.
There’s something about harmony guitars
Prayers, love, and best wishes to you and your family brother. You inspired me to learn to play, and i just bought my first guitar a few days ago actually. I will definitely hang on to it.
Enjoy the journey man!
@TheJoJam Thanks man! I'm excited to start!
@Dominic Dager… I’ll share with you what I share with all my beginner students…. The guitar, like nothing else, is something that will only give you back what you put into it. Practice hard and have a blast!
@Alexander Winston I appreciate the advice haha! Gonna have to figure out how to read and remember these tab sheets and what notes are what hahaha its not really intuitive to me haha but we're gonna get it!
RIP Tim. Know that your influence on Tyler caused a ripple in the waters. Think of how far your passion for music has spread, channeled through him, to millions of his followers, and inspired them to learn. Thank you for you performance down here, good Sir.
Now go take your place on the big stage, in the house band.
☁❤ ☁
I still remember the day my younger brother came to my house with his guitar and said “I want you to have this”- he passed away 3 months later due to cancer.
Then I start learning to play guitar and this cheap guitar is a treasure to me.
Those 90’s strats are hidden gems. Priced along and cheaper than new ones and build and sound better as they gain that vintage accolade. I bought a 96 Mustang new back then and it’s crazy how unique that thing has become
10:06 is a man feeling a strong dose of overwhelming joy. So happy you two were reunited! I still have my first, and it's a forever guitar for me.
Wow, I never realized Cort guitars were more than 20 years old. Feels so good.
My first guitar was a 20+ year old Cort acoustic that my Mom played in college.
My favourite guitar is a cort duality 2, just under a grand and better team any custom shop out there
They had ads in guitar magazines when I began playing in the early 90s, think they were founded in the 70's or 80's
The cort guitar company has been around since the 60s,at least
Yep. My first bass in 1987 was an already old and beat up Cort pbass copy. It was in the possession of an old HS friend when he was killed by a drunk driver so I never knew what happened to it. But I do still have the Kramer I bought new soon after in 1988. The same bass we recorded at his home on a 4 track with, and still have those tapes. Stuff I hope to keep forever.
this video touched my soul
So sorry the loss of your uncle, man, my condolences to you and your family…
My condolences to you and your family. May you all find peace in the days ahead. He seemed like a very cool guy.
Thank you for considering me, but I am 64 years of age and only have Facebook, and RUclips.
Did someone say you won something because it looks like someone was talking to you and then deleted there message
@@Zombie_13x33, was most likely a bot.
Hey man, I'm sorry for your loss. I said a prayer for your family. I love that Tim was an inspiration to you, and his son is playing too! Very cool. Good of you to make that trade. It may just push him into the next level with that bit of inspiration.
I've started guitar lessons. Starting on Acoustic for now, though I aim to mainly play electric. Let me tell you though, I love this thing so much. I'm keeping this thing until I die, and even then I'm probably getting buried with it
I started playing guitar about 6 months ago and had the same idea as you but 3 months ago I switched to electric. If that's what you want to do then don't wait, trust me.
Don’t start on acoustic go straight to electric it is not the same. They’re 2 different instruments with different limits. Get yourself a Squier trust me
@@jchristner82 that bullshit kept me from learning guitar at 9 because I got a classical when I wanted an electric. I couldnt play what the cool guys on tv were playing so I quit back then
@@SuicideSeason4545 i learned on acoustic for my first year and switching to electric was just fine, but of course it took like a whole 6 months to be able to adjust my playing style to where it didn't sound sloppy and messy through the amp
Start on whatever guitar you want! That being said, I would pick acoustic to start on because electric is easier to play. It's the same as learning to drive with a manual transmission. If you can drive a manual, you can drive an automatic. If you learn to drive an automatic and at some point need to drive a manual, it's going to be so difficult! Acoustic vs electric isn't quite that extreme but I would always say to start on acoustic. That's just my opinion though. Whatever you do, don't give up!
We all need that someone to show us the way to music. It's my dad who showed me. Thanks, Pa.
Thank you Tyler for the story. Sorry for your loss. Uncle Tim lives on.
So sorry for your uncle. Glad you are re united with your first guitar. You inspired me to play guitar and now I have three years behind me.
Rest well, Tim.
My 1st was a Crate Electra Standard, a black Les Paul copy. Still have it over 20 years later! ...everything eventually got worked on or replaced lol, the only things original are the nut, bridge, and paint. 50s wiring, Gibson pickups, and stainless steel re-fret, it plays like a dream.
I'm not crying you are! No, all jokes aside, sorry to hear of your loss to you and your family. I send you all the positive vibes to you, my dude. I'm sure if there is an after life, he's incredibly proud of you.
Much love to you brotha.
My favorite is still my first guitar. It took me a few years to figure out that the one you learn to play on will always feel the best in your hands. It's a Fender MIM bought new in '96.
I wouldn't say that my first guitar is my favorite, because that's one of the guitars I build myself, but my first has a very special place in my heart.
My second Guitar which I cant play cause I have nerve issues with my hands and my fingers dont always work right is a 1993 MIM Standard Strat, best sounding guitar ever, also was made just before the factory burned to the ground the later guitars never sounded as good.
RIP Uncle Tim.
That jam with your cousin at the end brought a tear to my eye and raised the hairs on my arms - as much for the overtones of family, a tribute to Tim and passing/repassing of the baton - as it was for the music itself.
I still have my first guitar - sat forgotten and unloved in a cupboard for a few decades. During the unfortunate circumstances of the past few years with lockdowns etc - I got it out, completely refurbished it and gave it a new paint job. Brings a smile to my face to look at it on the wall and compels me to pick it up.
Awesome video! My first guitar was a prs se Santana that I worked an entire summer to buy when I was around 20ish. Still have it almost 20 years later. Sometimes the mojo is just right...and this one is still my main electric guitar.
My first "guitar" was a yamaha guitalele from over half a decade ago. I was still quite young and know nothing about music theory and scales and all that stuff so i assumed it was a regular guitar but much smaller instead of having a different tuning. It got given away by my dad during the pandemic to a low income family, but i dont really care since i already had a yamaha cg102 from 1 or 2 years before the pandemic plus its helping the poor lol
This is the best guitar video I’ve seen. I have been playing for 40 years I’d love to find my first guitar. I grew up in Londonderry NH right in between Hudson and Derry. Sorry for the loss of your uncle. This video really touched me. 😊🤘
What a lovely gesture mate. Your cousin was so pleased. You're a very kind guy. Best wishes from the UK.
My Uncle is a guitarist and showed me a lot of music as a kid, especially stuff like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Sabbath and all the heavy hitters of the late 60s and early 70s, so I owe a lot to my uncle as well. My first guitar is sitting in my parent's closet, Dad says it will never leave unless I'm the one taking it with me. Crazy how those very first guitars hold so much emotion in them all these years later, more than we would ever know, right? This was truly beautiful to see, I could feel your emotions through the screen. Thoughts going your way during your time of loss, I can definitely see his influence on you. Glad you were able to receive that blessing and gift!
This one hit me harder than I thought. My dad passed away a couple of days before this was posted and he's solely responsible for my love of music. He taught me all the greats. Granted, he couldn't play an instrument, his passing has revamped my interest in picking up guitar again so I can always play and be with him.
R.I.P. to your uncle Tim. I recently lost my favorite uncle as well. If anyone understands the feelings and emotions that you had making this video, it is me. My uncle and I had a really strong bond and I miss him a lot. My heart is with you brother!! Great video
It's a nostalgic trip for sure. I still have my first guitar. A spanish guitar with a broken string that I need to restring soon haha. Congrats on your find Tyler!
Tyler,
Probably my favorite video of yours and I've seen most of them. Uncle Tim looks like he might have played some football in his life. I bet the top hat was good rehab for that zipper scar on his left knee. Infectious smile and whatever drink in his hand at the end is just a plain ole awesome pic. I hope you have that on a wall somewhere. I bet he was a fun Uncle. RIP-UNCLE TIM!
i still play my first guitar even though ive bought and sold several, this particular squier strat was perfect. and now that it's 11 years old it's sooo playable it's priceless
i also love my 2011 squier strat. I recently decided to mod it and it has become my favorite guitar
Glad to see you've been able to enjoy the blessing of close family bonds. It's a very rare gift in this era.
I found my first guitar in my parents closet a few years ago. It was a red strat copy that i bought myself when i was 13, think it was 1997. The neck was broken and pickups had rusted because it had been in a garage for many years but the white plastic details had aged beautifully creamy 😁 So i bought some Fender pickups, new electronics, a rosewood fretboard neck and fixed some details. Now it's my number one guitar 👍
What matters is the body and the exact guitar loool. Feels nostalgic when you get it. My first guitar is a $150 handmade lespaul. Fast forward everything with it sucks. Hardwares all tarnished and green, action is 5mm high, pots are all not working/scratchy and the only thing that works is the pickup. Change the hardware and machine heads to gotoh, replace the pickups with Duncans, Set it up then plays good and feels good again. Fortunately it is a bolt on les paul so i can change the neck if i want to.
Sorry for your loss. It’s great to have had a cool uncle to inform your playing. I got rid of my first THREE guitars when I was a starving student. I don’t regret two of them, but one was a lawsuit era 70s El Degas Les Paul, and I regretted losing that one. Thankfully, a few years later I found an almost identical one for a very good price, upgraded the pickups, and I’ve had it for about 25 years now. I learned my lesson and never got rid of another one after those first three. I lend guitars out regularly to friends and family, sometimes for years, but I always get them back.
Man, I am sorry for your loss, but this beautiful video was something amazing to come out of it all. My first guitar was a cream colored no-name brand telecaster. I do still have it!
May his memory be eternal! So sorry for your loss, thank you for being genuine.
The nostalgia vibes are extreme
Your cousin looks like he could actually be your brother.
Much love from Romania and condolences for your loss.
As for Uncle Jim, people like him, who are disabled, and people who live with them and help with their everyday life, are some of the strongest people on the face of the earth.
I may be saying this cause I am disabled myself, and might be an exception to the aforementioned rule, but especially the people who care for us are superhumans.
Best regards from a multi instrumentalist living in Romania. :)
This was such a great video. Nice tribute man!
My friend let me borrow a guitar last week so I can learn, and I love to watch you videos while I practice. I’m gonna pick up a few extra shifts so I can buy my first guitar in a few weeks.
Sounded like he started playing look at what the light did now by matthew white and flo morrisey? i love that song, it makes me happy. Also, at the end when he and his cousin were playing "together", that was a very touching moment. Beautiful video and dedication to his uncle.
to me it sounded like all along the watchtower ngl 😂
Awesome video I wish I could have my first guitar back. I had to hock it for groceries back in the nineties. It was a Fender lead iii. Black and white. Miss that guitar.
Mine was a First Act but that didn't get me anywhere because it didn't last. Little cousins destroyed it. The first guitar I learned on was one my dad won at Cedar Point 😁
my first guitar... well..... it was 1981... I was 14. My Dad went to the guitar shop which was 2 blks from our house and he knew how much I loved Black Sabbath. So he bought me a 1968 Gibson SG junior (with one P-90 pickup) and a Peavey Backstage amp. He paid $325 for the guitar / amp combo. $200 for the guitar and $125 for the amp.. That was a lot of money to spend on a christmas present back then. When I opened the guitar case (which said Gibson on it) I literally started crying... I was so happy ! I never put that guitar down.. I used to fall asleep with it in my arms. Then about 3 years later I traded it for a flying V... a white 1972 Gibson Flying V just like my heroes Michael Schenker and Wolf Hoffman (from Accept) played. I sold the amp around 1987 because I had a bought a Marshall 100 watt stack. Then about 5yrs later I found the amp ! I bought it instantly. Still have it. Since then I've owned 300-400 guitars. For about 15yrs I used to fix / build guitars for a living. Just 2 years ago I finally bought a 1968 Gibson SG.. standard .. lols. It plays EXACTLY like my Junior did. I'll never sell it !
Back then there was no such thing as vintage guitars. They were just called "used". When I got my 68' SG it was 13 yrs old. It wasn't vintage... it was just an old SG. Nobody wanted SGs then. All the kids wanted the pointy guitars... flying V's and explorers. So today, buying a 13 yr old guitar..... that'd be like buying a used 2010 guitar... no big deal. LOLs...
My first guitar was a Yamaha Pacifica. Was a great guitar but I got rid of it when I ran out of space.
About 5 years later i found it in a local studio as one of the house guitars. Was very beaten up but at least had found a new life.
I will never know what happened to my second guitar which was an epiphany 56 goldtop. I can't even remember what I did with it.
still have my first guitar as well it was a little beginners accoustic guitar i also never realized how much my fender electric guitar was worth till today dang i dont play electric guitar really though since im a country artist i prefer accoustic but i cant afford a decent guitar ive bought several cheaper guitars and none will even play really hopefully one day ill get a better one hope ya have an amazing happy new years and im sorry to hear about your loss
You should do a video where you get it all set up nicely or throw a load of expensive parts on it and see how good it can be
Seconded!
I still have my first guitar. Recently had to make my mother bring it from another country and made it a full recondition at Guitar Center in Orlando, FL.
My nephew has my first acoustic, it was a crappy rouge but it made my fingers strong.. hopefully he'll really learn to play it one day and I can inspire him the way your uncle inspired you... music has a beautiful way of connecting us in ways words never could!
33 years ago I bought my 1st electric guitar, a 91 fiesta red Hank Marvin signature Japanese squire. It still hangs on my man cave wall well used to the point it desperately needs a refret and new fingerboard lacquer but hey it’s character right?
Started my Music/Guitar journey in 2014 with a simple Fender Bass, eventually moved on to 6 Strings about a year later, my 2nd ever bass is a WarWick Corvette $$ (Double Buck) 5 String, that I picked up second hand for about $500. My first serious 6 string is an LTD M100-FM, keep in mind I was a kid when I was getting these guitars so I had no serious budget, but I've had all of my OG Guitars since I've bought them, and my Fender Bass and M100-FM are two Guitars I refuse to let go, I still have my WarWick but it needs some serious maintenance and just a general overhaul of its original electronics and Pickups, my M100-FM is also due for Electronics work and that will be the first guitar to get its work done to it.
I'll never forget as a new guitar player, getting a Floyd Rose as a relatively new 6 String player, the egregious process of just learning what there is to know not only about guitar technical basics, but also the maintenance basics of a Floyd Rose without having any knowledge of how they really worked, at first it was a massive undertaking because it seemed so daunting to set it up or even restring it, but not much later I had the hang of it and that M100-FM had thousands of hours put on it in the span of 7 years, and still has hundreds of hours put on it every year. My most recent guitar was a 1994 (or '96 I can't remember exactly, but it was within the first couple of years of Mexi Strat Production models) Mexican Stratocaster, I can't afford American Strats so I went with the Mexi and my god did she sing, unfortunately due to personal and familial issues I had to get rid of it and it is something I will always regret having to do and it put a huge hole in my heart because that Guitar was a gift to me. Regardless, the first Guitar, or for me the first couple, are the guitars that should never be sold and should always be kept. Even if they aren't played anymore, because once you fall in love with music and guitars you will always get a sense of nostalgia and appreciation every time you look at them.
My first bass is far out of working order (Missing bridge pieces, bad electronics/pickups, ect) but I plan to do a massive overhaul to it and bring it up to High End Fender Bass standards in the future, even though I barely, if ever really play Bass anymore, after that, since it will likely get little play time, I'm going to buy a big wall-mounted black box to put it into and hang it up in my room, along with my other guitars on the wall. I think the main takeaway here is that regardless of how 'cheap' some of our first guitars are, the sentimental value is astronomically high, the struggle, frustration, and eventual gratification that you get from learning and, frankly, beating on those first few instruments is something you will never forget once you become a seasoned Guitarist.
I found my first guitar again in a pawn shop, something about the neck shape and the tones are like comfort food. Your Uncle Tim definitely planted a seed, you sound great!
This was so cool to watch. Condolences for your loss. I'm happy you got your first guitar back. I also got mine back a couple of years ago after 20 years and it's what you said exactly - Home!
I still have my first bass. A Westone Thunder 1. For some reason I called him Eric back in the day and that is how I still refer to him. I retired him from live shows several years ago as he weighs a ton and I now have many and varied, lighter options but Eric was one of the best sounding basses I have ever owned. Third hand to me, bought off a guy who was in the college rock band, for £90 when I was 17 yrs old (I’m 54 next month)
I love that you got your first baby back, Tyler ❤️
It's amazing how much light those that leave us leave behind. Condolences on the loss. Thank you for all you do.
I'm sixteen about to get my own first guitar in a couple of days and I'm exited to begin this learning journey and becoming a part of this fantastic community.
I'm getting a stratocaster from fender and I hope I'll treasure and love the instrument as much as all the other phenomenal people in these comments.
Hows it going with your new Strat?
i think you too need to try les paul this is a really good form of guitar
Love the color of your guitar looks so classy
Sorry for your loss man. You're a killer musician and I appreciate everything you do! Btw, you're looking great by the way! 💪
Sorry about your loss brother he's in a better place now and he'll be at peace now with his friends and family
Rest in peace my friend and my condolences to you and your family. Man,, Uncle Tim's son looks just like him. Wow!!!
I'm happy for you! Great Jam at the end. RIP, Uncle Tim. Looks like he had a happy life.
I'm sorry for your loss, and the only thing I can say is thank you for your videos and for giving me the hope to become a great musician. I think the best gift your uncle gave you is the ability to inspire others, for example me who has been following you from Ecuador for almost 5 years. Thank you for everything
My condolences on your loss. Maybe your uncle had a hand in your reconnecting with your first guitar. I still have my first guitar; a right handed, late 80's/early 90's Profile guitar from Sears. Found out with that guitar, I am actually a left handed player. So turned the nut around and restrung it to match. One day it was stolen from me and about 2 weeks later, it turned up in the local pawn shop. Since there aren't a lot of no name guitars strung upside down in this town, the shop owner (reluctantly) allowed me to take it, free of charge (I did offer to pay at least something for it, for his troubles).
I just recently got my first guitar working again. It’s a cheap 1996 Squier Affinity Strat from one of those guitar starter bundles that I got when I was 15. The moment I started playing it, I was instantly back in my teenage bedroom. It’s wild how much it hits me in the feels when I play it. Never let go of your first.
Another great video, Tyler. Sorry for your loss. Tim will always live on in your memories and wonderful music. Remember the good times and keep on strumming my friend.
I've been digging your commentary for about a week now I don't remember which video lead me your way, but I've watched each one that pops up on my feed. Finally subscribed because you present a delightful cadence. Thank you for sharing. You seem like good people.
I was very close to two of my uncles. One taught me to shoot and hunt, the other taught me to drive an 18 wheel tractor trailer. All f this happen between the ages of 13 to 16. I don't hunt anymore, but I still shoot. Drove an 18 wheeler part-time for some extra cash years ago. This is all about fond memories that I'll never forget, and it sounds like you will remember your Uncle Tim for the rest of your life. So sorry for your loss. I know how you must feel.
Happy Holidays,
Rich
As someone who lives right outside Nashville It's so cool seeing you hit all the spots that I do, like Carter vintage, Nashville GC, Rumble seat, Ghurn's. you never know, maybe I'll run into you one day! Especially when you see you interact with the same people as I do!
So sorry for your loss, just want to say thanks for staying strong and continuing to inspire guitarists all around the world!
I still have my first guitar (obviously, I've only been playing for 4 years). It's a 2004 Affinity Strat that was trash picked, it has the big CBS style headstock (which I actually like) and the neck is unusually narrow. I'm left handed so we did a Jimi Hendrix on it and also swapped the pickups out for some cheap eBay Alnico-V ones. It is much better now and plays pretty good, it feels very sure footed and produces the same feeling as an old crummy car that you just can't get enough of now that you've fixed a major issue.
I'm Sorry for you loss, and thank you for helping me be more knowledgeable about guitars. Also for those who want to know, the guitar is a Cort Pro Custom Strat style.
No my neighbour has it now gave to him as gift and my first strat to my older brother and I parted with a thunderbird bass to my nephew. All firsts Lol I still have three bass and five electric guitars which are going nowhere because they are my babies! Lets not forget two drum sets! For the Animal in me after guitar practice. Music is a huge deal to me and so are some lessons you share thanks again man.
Growing up I always used to fall back on rap music r&b.. my uncle who passed away many years ago always pushed me to listen to older rock, Ozzy Pink Floyd Zeppelin. And I never got into it. After his passing I started to listen to as much rock as possible old-new. Then finally, just year ago, I picked up a guitar and have been learning everyday. Wish I would have listened to my uncle way back then when he was here. Learning something related with guitars is a part of my everyday routine. If it wasn’t for my uncle I probably wouldn’t even of ever picked up a guitar.
my first guitar is in storage using the box of my newest guitar. it is not playble at the moment, but I refuse to sell it and intend to restore it! really sorry for your loss, man...
happy for you man finding your first.
What a Great video Tyler and a Great way to Honor the ones we Love ! Would have liked to see the duo with Jack on the new axe, but nevertheless it was Awesome too see and hear !
I'm actually making a new nut for my first guitar as I speak. The thing is about 35 years old and still plays and even still has all the band stickers on it. Awesome video and sorry for your loss
amazing video. Gave me chills and reminded me of my first 1990 star squire. I'm sure your uncle Tim is looking down on you with a smile. Keep up the good work, Jimmy Cusack
Don’t have my first (1972 SG) however, my second guitar was a 1977 FlyingV which I fell in love with, it fit my hand like a glove, thick fat smooth sound ❤, unfortunately as bands do we went our separate ways and I needed to pay rent and eat 😢. So, I traded it and it’s custom Anvil case for cash, and a 1965 Melody Maker. (which I still have) but trying to find or get something close to what I had is mega bucks for a beat up one. So… I’m building one now. And I’m in love with playing again after many decades! Never forget your first (or second) love! Sometimes you can go back!! Love the story, love your channel! Keep keeping it real my friend. 🙏
This is probably your greatest video lot of emotion in that jam session with your cousin for your uncle sorry for your guys loss
Much love Tyler. Continue to inspire, as your Uncle once did for you. Rest in peace Uncle Tim
As a 19 year old who got his first junior Spanish guitar in year 5 when I was about like 9 I still have it in pristine condition , changed the strings over the years and learned everything I know with it , today I bought my first ever electric guitar which was a 15 year old squier se special strat, the great price I saw and how it looked and the age just spoke to me, no regrets I already have a love for this guitar while still waiting on my amp to arrive, I’ll never sell my two first guitars for acoustic and electric
I went and rebought my original guitar (well, same model, color & year of the odd bird Squier HM3 (1989)), and it is SUPER DUPER fun to play one's original guitar. I busted it out over the weekend, and when it comes down to it, the only thing that needed upgrading was my playing. (I have replaced the pups...). What was even more fun was playing it live with my band over the summer!
Congrats!
Nice on ya man . Rip Uncle Tim. That pro II in dark night is what i would have grabbed personally but you picked a winner . we need the followup vid with Jackson rippin some tunes on that black beauty
Sorry for your loss. I actually still have my first guitar, a Series 10 S type that I got for Christmas in 1988. It's been through some cosmetic changes as well as some of the electronics. I still pull it down off of the wall and play it occasionally.
I'm sorry for your loss 😢 but thank you for the continued inspiration. You make great content. Yes I still have my first guitar. I know, that, feeling, I get it when I think about playing my first still. She sits beside me all the time.
Congratulations on getting your first guitar 🎸 👏 😍 🥲!! Sorry for your loss
I have warmed up to your channel over the last couple years. As a fellow Tennessean and someone who lives in Music City, i would like to say that you represent us well. Though I may cringe a bit every now and then, your skills and content keep bringing me back. 😁 Keep up the good work.
Loved the jam with you both at the end!! Congrats on finding your first electric guitar Tyler & respect to Uncle's Tim and Jim!! Great guitars for you both.
My first electric guitar was a strat-likr Japanese St. George in almost the same yellow. I have been searching for one just like it but alas, have come up empty... the search continues.
Sorry for your loss. I loved the hand-cam reaching for the door haha, reminded me of the old SNL skit with Christopher Walken!
I'm 62 and bought my first guitar just recently. I've borrowed guitars over the years and kept them for awhile but never owned one until now. Better late than never I suppose.
Sorry for your loss Tyler.Thank you for making & sharing this video. great sounding guitar! also great jamming as usual !
I located my first guitar, but was unable to retrieve it. It was a dream guitar I had custom made from Hamer in 1993. I ran into hard times and sold it on eBay for a song in 2013. This year, I started looking for it and joined a Hamer user group to help. Based on my specs it was located in Russia and was even featured on a Russian RUclips channel. Needless to say after reaching out to the channel and its creators in English and Russian through RUclips and Facebook, I got no response. I wish I was able to buy it back, but no luck. I ended up hiring a luthier to making a new dream guitar to help with the loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. What a cool gift to give your cousin. All the best to you and yours. Loved that jam at the end of this video.
I always wanted to make a video of me playing all the basic starter instruments with an original song. Main guitar is a 1984 harmony electric bought from a Sears catalog.
Still using my first guitar. My Bennie.
Our thoughts are with you and your family ❤❤❤
Hey Tyler - thanks for sharing today. Be well! Here’s to and cheers to Uncle Tim
Sorry for your recent loss first and foremost, also you are just an absolute legend man! I watch your stuff all.the time, I don't learn a whole lot from you as a player as when I watch your stuff it just blows my mind, I was late to the party but love being a learner, and learning anything about guitars and gear I what I love doing!! All rhe best for the new year, and nope I do not own ky first guitar which I obvs regret, it was an older peavey acoustic and it was bloody stunning!
Sorry for your loss man
I do. My LTD Explorer. Both knobs are broken, the bridge has practically rotted away, and there's huge chunks missing out of the horns... love that thing.
Very emotional one, i enjoy watching and i appreciate you sharing this with us. Your uncle seemed like a great man, you definitely honoured him well.
