Hi, my channel is for all guitarists and aspiring guitarists. My goal is to share my decades of experience as a touring and studio guitarist. I've been fortunate enough to work with some of the music industry's top artists and producers along with touring with my own music projects. Let me share my experience as a working guitarist with you. This channel is dedicated to all things guitar-related. Here, you'll learn concepts to begin to learn and advance as a player. I'm a lover of guitars with a large collection of guitars. I'll share with you reviews and my recommendation of guitars in various price ranges along with how-to's on how to make customizations and/or repairs to your guitars. It is my goal to give back as much as I possibly can to the guitar-playing community. It's an instrument that has truly been good to me over decades, and I'm still so very passionate about guitar. I'm still learning and growing on the instrument and I look forward to us growing together.

Why the HX Stomp? And, the ideal pedalboard power supply for the HX Stomp
Переглядів 2 тис.2 роки тому
I recently purchased the Line 6 HX Stomp, but why since I already have the Line 6 Helix. Join me as I explain why and how I achieve the full functionality that I'm used to using with the Line 6 Helix but in a much smaller footprint that will be half the size of my Line 6 Helix. Let me show you the ideal pedalboard power distribution that is customized specifically for the HX Stomp.

Get Vocal with your Guitar
Переглядів 2322 роки тому
As guitarists, we can get so focused and tunneled visioned on our chords, scales, and patterns that we forget that the guitar is our voice and our way of eliciting expression and emotion. It's great to be able to blaze up and down the neck of the guitar but it has a very short-lived effect if you're not able to inspire or evoke emotion from your listeners. Learning how to mimic great vocalists ...

Charvel San Dimas Review
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 роки тому
Here's a guitar that's been on my list for quite some time. My first "real" guitar that wasn't a budget-styled student guitar was a Charvel/Jackson that I had for years. I loved that guitar and compared every guitar I owned to that guitar. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Charvel San Dimas and OH BOY! I was not disappointed. It felt like going back home. I'm now ready to sell some g...

PRS S2 Custom with 85/15s Pickups. It's truly all the PRS you'll ever need!
Переглядів 1,6 тис.2 роки тому
The PRS S2 Custom 22 fits the build of exactly what I've been looking for in an American-made model PRS. I've owned a Core Custom 24 10 Top previously but never quite bonded with that guitar but the S2 is everything I've wanted and needed in a PRS guitar at $2400.00 less than another Core model. Not to mention I'm really feeling the Crackle Vibes with this guitar. Check out the video for a deta...

Please Make Tutorial for the Rest you Played
Thank you so much. I've got a HB35+ on order and this is just what I wanted.
'Babe I'm gonna leave you'. Fantastic.
I’m sorry but you have most of the chords wrong.
As much as I appreciated the musicianship of prince, I don't like his music, especially this song. But his solo at the HOF playing While my guitar gently weeps, is the best I ever heard.
A capo is your very best friend here.
Glad I found you brotha! Great teaching technique!
Kind, polite explanation.!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s easy to have understood the first explanation of "You" on Website!!
Awsome guitarists
I just got a used 2019 in excellent condition w/the same vintage type tombstones and case for $359 and took it straight to a looth for a new nut and set up. 2 weeks and I start playing it. I don't even plug in, I just use to play late at night to not make noise.
pretty cool
Thanks for the great review... i currently play an Epiphone Sheraton, its a great guitar but gets a bit heavy after a while. The 339 being smaller could be my next buy... very nice frettboard i must say..
Not sure if your showing how to play it this way because its easier for people to play....but you have the all of the chords wrong....or at least the fingerings of the chords. which makes all the difference in the world. Just search how to play this song on you tube and you can see the right way to play it....and the the last chord is a MF to try and play unless you have long fingers. ( I dont) There is even a video you can find of Wendy herself showing how to play this correctly and if anyone would know - she would- after all she wrote it.
Maybe you could post a video of you playing it correctly?
Your tone and intonation is absolutely A PLUS my friend 😀🎸
Oh boy🔥🎸
Not the right chords sound poor
thank you for including the bridge! apparently no one else 'teaching' this song wanted to do that for us
Any tips on how to get inside to fix loose wiring? I was super happy with my HB 35+ until suddenly there's no signal coming out anymore...
Great 😊👍🎸
Bullshit
Nice lesson. The solo section is particularly nice. Nearly impossible to replicate the original solos on an acoustic. I cheat and play it in A. Much easier, especially when you’re also singing.
The chords you are playing are not how it is actually played.... There are certain notes on a number of strings that are played open. That's why it does not sound correct compared to the original recorded and live versions. I would suggest your interpretation is for a beginner...
Sounds great
It's a pleasure to listen to you talking! So calm and well-paced.
I like Crema's more, at least the neck one. By the way, what's the song on 2:24? Forgot how it is called.
It's Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Awesome review man, thanks! Just bought this guitar now. I also have a expensive guitar and I never eanted to buy such a cheap guitar. But this thing is awesome. :)
👍 I like ...yee... great work.
Thank you for your great tutorial, and amazing version of P.R. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜💜💜
Do they have a good split tone?
Great job !! Love your style
Subscribed straight away your a master tutor thank you Sir
Looking for something to replace my poor old Framus Atlantic. This may be it.
Very good comparison! Consider buying this guitar and plan to swap the pickups as well - Question: is this guitar worth this pickup upgrade? Are the neck/frets good, is overall playability fine…?
You sold me partner, I'm buying one!!! Nagrley chop too
$549.00 now
Extraordinary rendition and teaching. Merci!
Cool
nice spin on this song👍
So rich. 🤟💜 Wonderful instruction. Missing Prince so much 😢 Thank You!!
Wonderful ❤ Absolutely The Best version of Purple Rain Acoustic cover on UA-cam ❤❤
I’m glad I stuck around to hear you play your version. That arrangement was very pleasant. Nice work.
Your 5th string is not playing on chord 1.
great vid
Hey Mack, love the playing, and love this guitar. Ive been looking around for this one, cant find it. Can you let me know the exact model and color, if I wanted to order one? I need this in my collection. Much appreciated, thanks, Eric
I cant get mine to sound like that could you tell me your amp settings please I am a learner !…yours sounds beautiful
That's a nice Taylor you got there. Thank you for the lesson!
This is great. Thanks for sharing
I subscribed. Nice playing and I would also buy the Grovers
Gorgeous tutorial and tutor and finale with that cover WOW
Nice job, one of my favourites to play on acoustic 😊 need to try some of those ideas in my own playing of it. With the last chord D , it's a bit of stretch but sounds great I do A - 6th fret, D-8th fret, G-10th fret, B- 8th fret & e - 6th fret.
