Hi there Spencer with Shreducation here. You’ve found me! I’ve been teaching guitar and playing live music for over 15 years, and as of Summer 2021 I now teach guitar over the internet!
I teach beginner to advanced students and everything in between. Some might say I’m mean… Some may even say I’m CRUEL… but hey LOOK, if we can’t make learning guitar fun and easy with a little light-hearted comedy on the way I don’t know how else we’re gonna get through it. It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll!
If you have any questions PLEASE ASK I’m an OPEN BOOK and am HERE TO HELP. Over the course of this channel I will be sharing my knowledge on all things guitar, gear, effects, songwriting, live performance, you name it. Let loose with the questions, if it’s a big topic I’ll make a video about it :)
My ultimate goal for my students is for that you never need me as a guitar teacher again, and that you never have to experience walking into a room with a bunch of musicians and feel dumb. Let’s make that happen starting today.

Great video. You always have such interesting guitars in your tutorials and I'd love an overview like this for the whole collection.

[@ShreducationNation]

thanks so much I'm glad you liked it! That's a great idea I'd love to do something like that for each one. Thanks for the idea!

[@singingshotgun]

That is one sexy axe

[@strandberg_jaryd]

Oh he definitely pocketed that pickup....

[@ShreducationNation]

ya know im sure he did and i just heard from somebody that he once stole somebody's vintage pickups that were actually worth something

[@seanwalbrink]

Excellent video once again. Is it possible to get a PRS guitar with dragon inlays? Brenden Fraiser had one in Airheads.

[@kylehuber4831]

How do you not have more views. Your content is well produced and useful

[@ShreducationNation]

hahah thanks Kyle we appreciate it! Yeah, youtube is a sorta weird beast we're still trying to figure out... Throw us any suggestions we're always trying new things 😂

[@scottybrowndotca]

Dude .. that is super-sick .. Question, though .. You refer to the mid pickup as a Hershey pickup ..? I've never heard that named used - I've only ever heard them called lipsticks (even in Teles .. which I know is not totally correct, but .. .. ) .. Why Hershey Bar ..?

[@amslu]

Mojo pickups or Mojotones?

[@ShreducationNation]

Mojo Pickups 💪

[@guitarfriendtim]

More like Lex Luthier

[@ShreducationNation]

hahahahaha DAMN how did I miss that one

[@mrskullman40]

Should have went to Lukethier Skywalker

[@acidfilth2007]

Dude im not sure what kind of switch you use but NORMAL wiring of a 3 or 5 way switch has the middle pickup alone in the middle position on 90% of guitars

[@acidfilth2007]

just confused about your comment saying its a pain in the ass to get the middle pickup by itself when MOST 3 pickup guitars have the middle pickup avaialable in the middle position

[@ShreducationNation]

Understandable sorry if I worded that poorly. I’m saying it’s a pain getting the middle pickup alone AND getting the neck and bridge together. Getting those two things separately in the same guitar typically don’t exist.

[@acidfilth2007]

@@ShreducationNation oh yeah i thought i was missing something, " does everyone else guitar autoatically have neck and bridge?! the ibanez rg box switches even on the $300 guitars have really coole switching that differs from a regular 5 switch i love those

[@acidfilth2007]

something like Bridge in series with itself, bridge slug+middle in parallel, neck+ bridge inner coils, middle neck in parallel, stuff that usually takes a super switch
