      I've always wanted to ask this but always forgot to.
      Do you have a compressor in your signal chain or is it the natural compression of the amp itself, that I hear in your tone mr. Fujita?
      Thank you for all your lesson videos always.

      I like all types of music but for some reason prefer to play metal with HH setup, but once tried that HSS 260 Cort and spend like 30 minutes in the shop playing on single coils in different positions. It was like - that's what they were talking about, that chimey super nice clean sounds. Addictive. Might buy 280 HSS.

  • @stanphillips7277

    I bought myself the best guitar I could afford in September for my birthday. A Squier Affinity SSS and Fender Mustang LT25 modeling amp, with the gig bag, chords and strap, picks, strings and I got a capo. All Fender and altogether $480.00 which was just about what I could afford.
    I had a choice between the SSS and the HSS. I really liked the Fender Lead II I used to have and that one was a SSS so I chose the Squier Affinity SSS over the HSS.
    I really think it's a great guitar for the price, and for getting whatever chops I have back, and advancing from there. I'm intermediate I guess. I'm ok but plenty of things I still have to learn. I want to develop an efficient practice routine and rededicate myself to the guitar the way I did in the beginning.
    I watched this video and I'm left wondering if I should have gotten the HSS but it was a decision I had to make in like 5 minutes because a friend was picking it up from a guitar shop for me after I'd arranged everything except that part. So I was on the phone with the guy who was the owner of the guitar shop, and my friend was picking it up for me and I thought about it and chose the SSS, although I'd had a humbucker , single, single before the Fender Lead II was 3 single coil and I really liked that one and chose the SSS based on that.
    I think it's a great guitar for the price but after listening to the sound of the humbucker and middle on your Cort I wonder about my choice.
    Tomo, you make every guitar sound so good that now I think I'll feel better if I watch you play the Silver PRS SSS. It looks like mine almost (except for the headstock on the PRS is a better design I think...the g string doesn't have the angle above the nut going to the tuning pegs as much and it looks cooler too I think 😂).
    The Affinity SSS is fine for now, frets are well done and polished at the edges. Nothing jagged and I like the amp. 30 preset effects with adjustable reverb, gain, chorus and echo for each effect. I can't buy a bunch of peddles right now and its got those . It even has a simulated acoustic guitar sound that really sounds close to an acoustic!
    I'm content but just wonder what the humbucker Affinity might have sounded like. I try not to regret my decision because I can't do anything about it now, and I'm happy with the SSS enough.
    I really like the volume swelling technic you were using. I try that sometimes to play the beginning of the Rush song Xanadu and I still need practice but I have time 😂
    Thank you Tomo, it was funny when you brought in the loop out of nowhere, you surprised me and then I was hearing what I thought was your metronome and it was your foot 😂 so funny because it was clicking loud enough to hear it very well...you looked like you were having so much fun. Sometimes you just get lost in your playing and it's great fun to watch you once you get going. Thanks for this video. You played in different styles and covered so many approaches to playing, all in one video.
    There's a lot to learn in this one, thank you very much Tomo.
    I saw the unboxing of the Cort, and I'm glad you dedicated a video to it. It's sounds beautiful and looks beautiful too.
    I saw Zakk Wylde from Ozzy Osbourne's band play a Black Sabbath song on a "Hello Kitty" little toy kids guitar.
    He sang and played the song N.I.B. and it was so funny because he's talented enough to squeeze music out of even this toy guitar! 😂 So I was reminded that, it really doesn't matter what guitar you play Tomo, it's a great guitar the Cort but when it's in the right hands it's easy to see the full potential of the instrument. After all, you sound great with just the middle pickup! 😂 Thank you very much for showing us around the Cort, I'm a believer!🎸🎶❤️☮️🙏

    I really like what this guitar has going on, like many Cort guitars. I'd really like to try a Cort Hiram Bullock signature model -- he was a terrific player.
    With regard to your blue Ibanez Prestige AZ: I believe you opted for 3 single-coil pickups rather than the standard HSS configuration shared by this Cort. If so, is there a particular reason? Is it mainly due to your love of vintage Strats, or was something about that guitar asking to be SSS?

      There's no non locking trems that can hold perfect tune after an abuse.
      You'd might as well go with the floyd rose if that's what you want to do.
      But if you want those vintage style trems, one tip is give the bridge a yank upwards right after the dive. That brings the tuning back almost to perfect.
      Another tip is lubing the nutt slots, using the roller string trees and locking tuners.

      did you have any trouble getting your guitar shipped and were there any hidden costs and how long did it take to get to you?

    You've now taken all the wood wind instruments out with that playing. lol

    You've taken out all the trumpet players with that tone and volume swell playing. lol
    Sounds great, looks great, playing is great, I might just sell my Ibanez AZ premium and get that instead.
    I might swap out the nutt though, because it's just plastic and might ware out fast and create all the tuning issues in the world. It will be the best if I won't have to and cutting it for 010s will be enough.

    Apologies if you've been asked this a million times, but what are your views on the use of digital modeling amps and how to make best use of them?

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  3 роки тому +1

      I don't have any those amps. Simple is the best!

    • @おいしいパスター

      I'm not Fujita sensei but I will give you my own sentiment as a long time Line 6 Helix user.
      You can never go wrong with decent modelers. But the issue is they don't sound like the real amps, because they are not meant to. They are modeling miked up amp tone, not the amp alone in the room.
      If your goal is to have all the real tube amp tones in one unit, modeling isn't for you.
      But the advantage with modelers is that they do sound realistic in terms of miked up amp tones, and you can have your own sound where ever you go. Where as, different places have different amps, different microphones, and different sound guys, so you will never sound the same from a place to another, with real amps.
      Another advantage is that you will have all the pedal you will and will not need for a few hundred or a little over a grand, and you can use the modeler as all in one unit, or you can use it like a pedal board going into a real amp, because you can just turn off the amp and the cabinet sims in your modeler. Where as if you were to buy all those effects in stomp box forms, you will have to sell a few houses and cars.
      Or you can use the amp sim in the modeler, and plug it into a guitar cabinet and get the amp alone in the room tone. Of course, you will have to turn off the cab sims in the modeler to do that. Or you can just get the tube amp head, and plug it into a modeler with the cab sim on for dirrect recording.
      Disadvantages:
      Not many. Just some tube snobs will talk crap about you for not sticking to the tradition. Some people might compliment your tone at the beginning, but take it all back when you disclose to them that you were using a modeler.
      But for me, even that brings me joy and laughtor because that means that they didn't even realize whether I was using a modeler or the real amp.

    Always beautiful & interesting playing. That simple melody over the chords was very pleasant. I liked the tones of the guitar. I've NEVER liked a humbucker at the bridge on a Strat style body. Yuck! I hate that tone. All the other combos of the pickup selection sound great except for the rear pickup. this is just my opinion. I guess I'm just a single coil kind of guy. 00

I didn't think their customer service would be this bad :( I just hope that nothing happens to my guitar because I think there's no way I will get it serviced under warranty. A dissapointment because yes, these are nice guitars. Best regards.
