I feel bad for the kids who get this. I understand that parents don't want to spend a lot because the kid might lose interest quickly, but if you give them trash like this, you're guaranteeing that they'll quit guitar.
I agree. When I was 14 my family put together some money and got me a beautiful acoustic guitar for my birthday. I'm 23 and I still play it. Investing in something of a higher quality can be worth it even when it's for kids. Interests may change later on, but as you said, it's less likely when they have something that works the way its supposed to instead of a weird, constantly out of tune plastic guitar 💀
when i got a guitar my sister also wanted a guitar because she always wants to copy me so my parents bought her a 20$ guitar, she played 5 minutes with it.
I had a guitar like this as a first guitar, I sympathise with what you're saying but when you don't have a lot of money it might be better to not spend too much on an instrument as a child and then decide you don't like playing it. Once I decided I liked playing guitar I then got one which was of decent quality.
I swear I've seen one of those picks before. This studio my band used to rehearse at had one that just sat around the bass amp. I thought about swiping it, a few times. I even conducted a test by simply knocking it onto the floor next to the amp to see if anybody moved it by the time I rehearsed there the next time or two. It never got picked up, from what I could tell. It might still be there today.

I started on a horrid monstrosity similar to this. Man this takes me back, I couldn't even tell just how awful that thing was until I got a decent guitar. A part of me misses those days tbh.
Same man. Those old $30 acoustics where the high e would break after 3 days and you'd never end up replacing the strings and then when you did vibratos and bends the neck wouldn't even be able to handle the strong being moved on it and it would make a scratchy sound. They were always guaranteed to make you sound alot worse then you really are. They weren't even good enough to make that cool grungy sound where shittiness is okay. Yet sometimes I still think about how fun it was to get your first three rifts down and then you'd go and tell your friends and they'd be proud of you and all that. Good times man.
I started off at 20 years old on a cheapo quarter length acoustic I got when I was 10. The guitar was a piece of junk that screams "first guitar lessons for kids" but I played the shit out of that thing for 2 years straight until I finally bought a better one. I miss those days because it was so raw, and I felt like I was doing what child me always wanted to do but never thought I was good enough. Years later I own 6 great guitars and I've made decent EPs writing my own guitar tracks, but that little acoustic still sits in the attic. If I was as famous as Elvis Presley I'd still keep that guitar; everyone starts somewhere!
ok but the slightly out-of-tunery actually gives the riff a nice haunted vibe, perfect for spooky season _also my man just dropped picks worth more than the guitar itself into this_
Reminds me how Voltaire can't tune his guitar properly for the song Brains! (the one from the Billy & Mandy's halloween special) and the whole song sounds catchy yet _very eerie,_ as the rest of the instruments try to play the same tune than Voltaire's (out of tune) guitar. Voltaire admited he ended liking it.
That constant out of tune sound gave me haunted old Egyptian civilisation vibes. Like being haunted by a mummy and running away from it with the pyramids in the background and thr moon high up in the sky. You made the guitar sound the best as possible!
I bought one like this years ago, "First Act." It was awesome! I broke it and glued back together multiple times. Every time did improve the tuning. For real. I've seen them recently at Walmart.
I have a First Act guitar i got for like $10 at a pawn shop, I use silk and steel strings and that thing is my beater guitar but tbh so fun to play and sounds pretty alright for as long as it stays in tune (capo tends to help, the silk and steel also helps a bit)
Omg that last progression sounded amazing! Would be great in a film score or something. The terrible out of tune quality actually gave it so much character lol
My first guitar was a starcaster by fender(not to be confused with the actual starcaster, which has a completely different headstock and is semi hollow, idk why they called both of them starcaster) it was basically a cheap strat, but I loved it. Thankfully I moved on to better instruments though.
My man literally just rocked up to Kmart to buy a guitar. I live in Tassie and I saw that on a shelf near the cheap 3 dollar phone cases (you know the ones) And as as soon as I saw the $25 Price And the list of materials I was so cracked up that I started pointing it out to other people.
Got basically the exact same for my step daughter as she wanted to learn and is clumsy as hell (wasn't gonna lend her and of my gear lol). Chucked some D'addarios on it and filed the frets that were super bad down and its actually playable.
I used to own one that cost me about $30. It was genuinely amazing and I made massive first step improvements on it. I basically went from zero to Wonderwall
that brought back some memories.... when i was 7 or 8 my parents got me the ukulele from this exact brand thing for my birthday. i asked for a guitar not a ukulele was well... it came with the same pick as this guitar did lol. also the tuning legs were broken so it didn't even work.
Yeah, it'd be interesting to hear fingerpicking or classical playing on it rather than going to metal strumming. For example, I got a Fender kid's guitar when I was young and it sounds the best when picking compared to strumming.
i mean......those picks though at the end lol. that plucked a nerve i didnt think i even had to pluck lol... who willingly feeds an acoustic black hole?! O.O
my wife got a first act for her first guitar. when i seen it the action was almost 1/2 at the 12th fret. it was so painful to even try and make a basic chord. i dont blame her for quitting. where i had my grandmother buy me a decent fender acustic from pawn store at 14 and i still play at 35
_”Music is what feelings sound like”_ *That’s actually not bad. For a 15$ Chinese trash guitar, that’s higher tier thought than most products I purchase/see.*
I got this one awful guitar for 30 dollars, when I tuned it the high e string snapped. When I had to replace the strings the bridge was giving up and it looked like it was about to break off the guitar. It was my first ever acoustic and my first guitar at all.
I was bought a shitty guitar like this to start (got it for 10 bucks at five below 💀). The action was so high i could barely play 035 but i tried and tried and eventually i was given an electric guitar like 5 months later and then after that I actually bought a squier snd let me tell you I IMPROVED SO MUCH

and maybe loose an eye
Alternative title "I've bought a giant pick which came with a free guitar for 15$"
😂🤣
Lolololol
Ah yes, the comically large guitar pick.
"yes you can have one strum"
>pulls out comically large guitar pick
I'd love to see you use that giant pick on your other guitars too.
its gone forever now
Kinky
it isn't out of tune, it's _microtonal._
Jokes apart, i like this 1:41 sounds really intertesting.
Music name?
is this a part from an actual song
@@yvengeace what is the name of the song?
@@rino8479 idk that's why I'm asking

It reminds me of a bass pick, but those are more equilateral triangles... This is just an oversized guitar pick, for some reason 😂
It's like a Megalodon tooth, a relic from an ancient past when guitars were still evolving

Reminds me of the background music in Diablo 3
I actually learnt on this guitar, I got a new one 2 months later but it’s still fun to play even with the broken high e string and super high action.

0:13 “Music is what feelings sound like!” 🔥🔥🔥
HE PLAYED RASGUEADO ON ACOUSTIC! FINALLY! WE DID IT GUYS!
Are you ready for some spanish flamenco riffs?
I got this beautiful guitar for Christmas one year. I threw it away but I still have the pick to this day.
That's not a pick, that's a *PLECTRUM*
You can make anything sound cool
this proves that no matter how cheap or bad an instrument is and/or sounds, anyone with a sense of music can make it sound good.
I bought one like this years ago, "First Act." It was awesome! I broke it and glued back together multiple times. Every time did improve the tuning. For real. I've seen them recently at Walmart.
Loving that Pete Steele sized pick. I'd imagine that would be a ukelele to him.
The last bit was so beautiful.
that giant pick alone is worth paying 15$ for 😂
That riff sounded like flamenco black metal. Dig it

Thanks for binging back some nostalgia, I finally know what my first guitar ever was!
Omg that last progression sounded amazing! Would be great in a film score or something. The terrible out of tune quality actually gave it so much character lol

You mean Stratocaster
0:21 That action is like a mile high
Sounds great to me. I love that solo you did!
this is the guitar that made a thousand kids never try again. lol
This pick 💀💀
So good. Especially the ending, hahaha
the riff was awesome but that ending... that ending... damn you
Absolutely fucking unhinged, but at the same time a design masterpiece. Awesome
I love how this guitar comes with Peter Steeles bass pick
Can you make a tutorial for that song at the end? Sounds awesome.
I got this exact guitar for my 5th birthday in 2007. I quickly moved to the piano.
Nice playing dude
Hey it's perfect for Rob Scallion!
the giant pick is worth though
That giant pick made me burst out laughing HAHAHAHAHA man, thats so comical
This dude is harmonic GOD 🥶
My man literally just rocked up to Kmart to buy a guitar. I live in Tassie and I saw that on a shelf near the cheap 3 dollar phone cases (you know the ones) And as as soon as I saw the $25 Price And the list of materials I was so cracked up that I started pointing it out to other people.
I'm actually really impressed that you could tune that up and hit harmonics.
You should do more videos on this thing.
You gave it life and hope
You can make music on anything! Respect!!
wht the last scene tho. I got ptsd from this
Got basically the exact same for my step daughter as she wanted to learn and is clumsy as hell (wasn't gonna lend her and of my gear lol). Chucked some D'addarios on it and filed the frets that were super bad down and its actually playable.
1:44 Pleeeeeeease what is a name of riff?
this is proof that my dudr can make ANYTHING sound good
so wait the "wood top" is just plastic as well?
that brought back some memories....
One more proof that the main thing is not the instrum ohhhhh shit i was writing it without pausing the video and saw the end...
You're now the king of "this is a feature not a bug"
my parents got me a 1/2 sized $30 classic guitar that was somehow made of wood.
Managed to play metallica on that thing for 2 years.
I like the reference to my video at the end
instant sub!!! You are amazing!!!
I used to own one that cost me about $30. It was genuinely amazing and I made massive first step improvements on it. I basically went from zero to Wonderwall
That giant pick had me dying lol
Child: Mom, why cant you get me a better guitar?
Parents:A guy on youtube played it just fine why cant you?
that brought back some memories.... when i was 7 or 8 my parents got me the ukulele from this exact brand thing for my birthday. i asked for a guitar not a ukulele was well... it came with the same pick as this guitar did lol. also the tuning legs were broken so it didn't even work.
What is the name of the last song i wanna learn it
I think it’ll be a good transition from using my tiny Ernie ball raindrop pick switching to a mega giant pick
The last part almost gave me an anxiety attack. ty
Why the giant pick??
Why not? ;)
to play big chords
That first fret is full of characters
I’m sure a classical player would make it sound like a million bucks
Yeah, it'd be interesting to hear fingerpicking or classical playing on it rather than going to metal strumming. For example, I got a Fender kid's guitar when I was young and it sounds the best when picking compared to strumming.
굉장한 연주실력과 더 굉장한 사이즈인 피크😂😂😂
I've heard that there is flooding in Melbourne are u ok?
i mean......those picks though at the end lol. that plucked a nerve i didnt think i even had to pluck lol... who willingly feeds an acoustic black hole?! O.O
May I sample this!
what was that song at the end ? sounds awesome
I knew we'd see one of these soon when I heard you talk about it on stream lol
lmao that pick 😂. nice werk 👍.
The heigh of those strings is yelling for a slide
It's not the guitar that's amazing. A great player can make any guitar sound really good.
The oversized pick is because it's a kid's guitar. LOL.
I kept the chonky pick from my daughter's electric and strum with it for giggles sometimes. 🤣
my wife got a first act for her first guitar. when i seen it the action was almost 1/2 at the 12th fret. it was so painful to even try and make a basic chord. i dont blame her for quitting. where i had my grandmother buy me a decent fender acustic from pawn store at 14 and i still play at 35

Is that riff around 1:16 Frightened Rabbit? Sounds like Poke to me
Man that's a cursed ending
It looks like what someone would make if they saw a photo of a guitar and a seperate photo of a guitar pick and tried to make something with them
I got this one awful guitar for 30 dollars, when I tuned it the high e string snapped.
When I had to replace the strings the bridge was giving up and it looked like it was about to break off the guitar. It was my first ever acoustic and my first guitar at all.
That Big Pick made me laugh for some reason
If the pick was small, a kid could mistake it for a delicious treat that came with the sweet mahogany smelling guitar, and might consider it dessert.
Im gonna keep saying this, your right hand is sooo good, please post a lesson on how you got it to become this good
Whats the song name at the end
“Music is what feelings sound like” 😂
My child hood friend gave me one of these for my birthday was I was like 12 it was more busted up tho was kind of a fun back up guitar
FYI cort sp3 is a great starter guitar for under 100. I actually love that guitar.
0:33 You Tuned It To An Open C6sus(9) Tuning For Barialto Guitar
What is this second music that you're playing dude
It's gooooood
That pick 😀

Where is this song you played in this video I want to listen tge better version of this.
Whats the song you play? Sounds like SOAD
