While the pick holder is kinda useful, i can't get out of my head the image of the weird indie/edgy wannabe kid having it on his finger the whole time and being like "Oh, you noticed? Yeah, i play guitar"
Oh god 💀💀
I hate it now
I have a guitar pick holder like that on my battle jacket but I keep my Archspire signature picks in there so I think I get a pass on the “wannabe” part. I ain’t a wannabe, I’m a willbe
love to see the exposure you got from kdh ^^ the content is stellar and deserves way more subs!
Thanks 😁
I just came here from kdh. I subscribed to this channel too. I like what I’ve seen so far and i love the humor lol. This kid is funny. Great taste in amps too. The kid plays good too. I was impressed
I actually was subscribed here first, and found kdh thru here! Lol.. it was bc rich vids and the beast jcm800 that got me here.. it's definitely a great channel though, so however the subscribers come, they will be happy when they do! 🤘

@@The_Masked_1der ya this kid have a good future as a youtuber.
Malmsteen disapproves all those gadgets and will copyright strike this video.
ahhhh crap 🙄🙄
That first gadget might be the only piece of guitar gear my girlfriend would actually use ....🤔
😭😭😭😭 We were all thinking it
Love seeing ur channel grow so much! Haven't seen anyone else deservse it more👑. Been here since 600. Hope to see u at 10.000 soon.
Thanks for hanging out, I'm sure it won't take long 😁
I love how the capo specifies that it works on acoustic, acoustic, electric, and etc. guitars. I don't know what guitars there are other than acoustic or electric, but good to know the capo works with them otherwise. I also don't know why the AliExpress people specified acoustic twice.
When you put new strings on you need to stretch them. Hold the string in the nut, then pull it gently away from the fretboard along the length of the string, retune string, rinse and repeat until the string is still in tune after pulling on it. Do this for strings 2-6, for the high e hold the string in the nut and do full step bends along the length of the string, you risk breaking it pulling on it like the others. If you don't stretch your strings before playing they will be worn out before they will stay in tune after a bend.
Some guitars have necks that feel like a bat. This man uses an actual bat, and it sounds great.
Right, great tone
@@sixstringtv1 Made from tone aluminum
Just found you man,love how you infuse some comedy into your stuff. Quickly became one of my favorite UA-camrs and not just for guitar shit. Keep uploading dood,you're awesome.
Thank you!
I know! I can’t get enough of this kid. So entertaining! Why is not on a main tv show as a host or co host?
Subbed, digging the production quality too! I'm sure your channel will be 252K instead of 2.52K in no time! :)
Im confident that it will! 😁
Gonna keep putting in the work
That shitty headphone amp would be perfect for black metal
Your tone is great man. You have a video on your amp and recording setup?
Not yet, but I'll give you a rundown:
-Amp is always either my JCM800 KK2203 or JCM2000DSL from the 90s
(you can see which one is switched on since the button lights up)
-JCM800 Super Lead cab with 2 Celestion V30s (right) and 2 Celestion Greenbacks (left)
-Shure SM57/Sennheiser E906/Heil Sound PR20
-I've made a video about my pedalboard
Dude you deserve all of this attention. this is some of the best content ive seen in a while, You're doing great!
Thank you!!
Hey bro love the vids! Keep it up!
Can you please tell me what the song your playing in 2:31?
just saw your video about Malmsteen on the other guys channel (blanking on the name and I'm on phone so i can't check it) but man the quality of the video and research are incredible, keep up the good work mon
His name is KDH, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😁
6J1 tubes are used in headphone amplifiers a lot. Probably the reason why you ran into while shopping around.
Probably shouldn't put AliExpress tubes into anything you value, but maybe I'll see if I can find a 12AX7 somewhere and stick it in a cheap amp. Also, the reviews did genuinely say "worked great for my guitar amp" and shit like that. Maybe they changed the product that was listed there but kept the same listing up
Great work as always bro 🖤
🙏🙏
That first one I'm fairly sure was supposed to be a knockoff Sound Stone which is itself a knockoff Ebow.
Just coming to say that your video on Malmsteen was a great piece of content.
I never knew much about him. And not gonna lie i had quite a few good loughs.
Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Bro last time I checked this channel you had 600 something subscribers, keep up the good work
Thank you! 😁
Really good video. You are doing humanity a service by purchasing this stuff and letting us know what’s crap and what is decent.
I kinda like product #5. That’s not a bad idea.
The other products look like cheap garbage. 😖
I really look forward to your vids. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the vid 😁
Love your tone. Great playing as well
Thanks and thanks 😁
The vibration thing isn't to beak in the strings, it's designed to break in the wood on the guitar, and yes it's for an acoustic guitar. There's similar and much more expensive products like the ToneRight and Tone Traveler that many say work, but this is WAY cheaper.
But it's not for strings, and it's not for an electric guitar.
I'd much rather spend 30 mins breaking in the strings, by playing, than slapping the Handpun on the guitar to "break them in". Vibrations are good, just a shame it produces the wrong kind of vibrations to be of any use in breaking in the strings. 😆
Love the videos, keep 'em coming. 😁🤘
I'll keep the videos coming for sure! 😁
What pickups are in that Squier splatter spin painted strat? (Say that 3 times really fast)
I like that you play metal with a strat with 3 singles (unless they are stacked hums)
I play everything with strats, stacked or not. These are the stock single coils from the guitar. (2003 MiM Splattercaster)
What is the bit you're playing from 3:05 to 3:20? It's awesome.
Something I made up off the top of my head at the time 😂
Found your channel through a video on Yngwie’s preposterous copyright shenanigans and just wanted to say that I really wanted to start doing what you’re currently doing on UA-cam, but haven’t yet obtained the mean stuff to do it. Seeing that you’re a year younger than me, your well done, coherent videos have inspired me to pick up and see what I can do to start doing my own UA-cam stuff. My channel has always consisted of random videos my dad has taken of me and posting them. I only recently took control of this channel and wish to make videos of my own. Rock on.
means* not mean stuff
It took me a long time to get all this shit. I saved up for an 18i20 interface, good monitors, a laptop, lighting, my iPad that I use for recording, editing and photoshop, microphones, etc.
IMO the days of bedroom phone recordings are over. The people who got big like that have a higher production value now, so you gotta adapt to it. Keep grinding and get your gear!
It's not meant to break your strings in, it's mean to make your instrument more resonant. On quality acoustic guitars especially, these devices work.
Isn't that finger excersize thing basically the guitar hero peripheral for the Nintendo ds?
Basically, but with more resistance, and slightly squeakier. 2/10.
whats the riff at 4:55? Sounds so familiar.
2:08 what riff is this?
That joyo mini amp would be great if you wanted to record a soundtrack for an 8-bit game.
Excellent channel dude, I dig your attitude and sense of humor about silly guitarist nonsense.
Thanks 😁
More silly shit coming soon 😎
But can you use the vibration from the Tone Completer to play your guitar like an E Bow?
Doubt it. Many people have said that, and while I know that the EBow works in a "similar" fashion and also has little grooves on the bottom, this isn't that.
i just started watching the video but i have to say i love that antigua strat with all my heart
2002 MiJ
Rare as all hell in Europe and a prized possession.
@@sixstringtv1
It looks and sounds RAD! 👍
Wanted to let you know this was at the top of my home feed! UA-cam knows I've been watching 🤘
Sick!! 😎
Would've been cool to hear the guitar plugged into an amp with the Hanpun running
What’s the riff played in 5:05?
Reanimaniac by Revocation
Hey man, I know this is irrelevant to this vid, but I came here through watching you on KDH's channel! Your talk about Yngwie was on point, I watched the entire thing. As a longtime Yngwie hardcore fan, I gotta sub to you. Rock on!!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed the Yngwie video
The handpun soundtone isn't for breaking in guitar strings....it's for breaking in the solid top of an acoustic guitar....it's absolutely pointless on an electric guitar.
I got a precision drive pedal by demox fx and I f'n love it. Made a Revv g20 sound mean as hell. And the Engl Fireball 25 even more ball crushing.
to be fair, the post hanpun came with a hat... so that has to count for something
Much easier to differentiate while editing at least 😂
@@sixstringtv1 lol.. you make great content.. kudos!
I believe, the first item, is meant to age the WOOD of an acoustic guitar, not the strings. Just a guess though, as aged acoustics tend to "sound better"....
Good lord, gonna have to run that thing for a while 😂
@@sixstringtv1 Yea well, its meant to be placed whenever you put the acoustic guitar away. Probably takes time, but less than 100 years. Who knows, Im not educated enough on the product, I did see it in a guitar in a shop once, which is how I found out about it.
@@GeeMorno Damn, that's good to know
The finger exerciser looks like some sort of trumpet trainer
Try using the first one with the guitar plugged into an amp and see if it can be used as an effect
Oh. You bashed it with a bat lol
Yeah, I was thinking maybe it'll have an Ebow effect, lol.
It's in pieces now woops
@@sixstringtv1 😂
First item would be very useful for breaking in the top on a new classical guitar.
Instead of that weird finger-grip thing, you could just buy a forearm trainer, since that strengthens your grip anyways.
Great video!
I believe that the tube is a 6J1 hifi Headphone/speaker amplifier tube.
Might try to get a 12ax7 tube on aliexpress sometime, id be scared to put it into anything I value though
@@sixstringtv1 lmao
@@sixstringtv1 CHINA/RUSSIA/ SLOVAKIA ONLY COUNTRY TO MAKE TUBES SO YOU ARE SAFE IT IS NOT A EASY PROCESS JUST TOXIC ENJOY LOL
i had the ja01 as my first amp, it is absolutely shit. it ios less shit though if you put in a new full battery. The reason why the aux input sounds so bad is because of the nearly dead battery lol
Never heard someone casually play some Havok shit before !

😎🙏
1:20 What I wanna tell my lazy friends
Your really getting the hang of It! Keep it up.
Thanks! 😁
The Strat behind you is freaking gorgeous. The one hanging I mean.
Oh yes, my 2002 MiJ Antigua Strat. A prized possession.
That Joyo thing was terrible, but to be fair, for $80 USD the Joyo Jam Buddy is a SS Zombie in a pedal with Bluetooth speakers that actually sounds heavy and takes fuzz and drives well in front. Try one, seriously... I got one from Joyo to use in my own content and its actually something I use a lot and is great for a small busking amp rig. I tested my Hizumitas through it for my half assed demo and in the room it sounded great.
The pick one would be great for tapping too
Right!! Gotta try that
Gutes video, so wie immer! :)
🙏🙏
Our 4th product: the tendon mangler 3000!
Nice choice playing Extreme!
The Hanpun looks like it's designed with very little effort from the makers of, uuhm, the pink thing the dog threw up....
😂😂
With that Joyo amp, you're finally fully equipped to record your very own first black metal album (or seven). All you need to do is to learn how to make "bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh >:[" sounds. Maybe Hanpun can help your break in your voice.
Black metal project coming up
1:45-1:48 was cursed on so many levels (:
I'm so glad there's still some folks out there like KDH and this channel (among others I'm sure) that aren't just sticking to the same tired meme and clickbait videos like "What if FROZEN was METAL?!?!" Or stuff like that. Like yea kudos to all those guitar channels that were around since the beginning of UA-cam but the content got so damn bland and unoriginal after a while. It's nice seeing people be loose, genuine and silly, instead of obviously played up personalities
Also Kmac2021. F*cking legend keep it up m8
Glad I can fill that gap so you don't have to watch Stevie T 😂
@@sixstringtv1 thank you for your service
Bought some copper shielding tape from the site. Specifically stated it was for shielding guitars. Have a bass I'd like to quiet down so when I read it had conductive adhesive I bought a roll. The stuff has absolutely no adhesive whatsoever. Its a roll of bare copper foil. I cant be too mad as I am familiar with Aliexpress and order knowing that I will likely be disappointed and unwilling to ship anything back to China. Dont spend any money you cant afford to give away😉
U should just buy a Chibson and test it out since your on Ali Express. Good video my man really enjoying the channel.👍
Got something similar coming up for sure!
@@sixstringtv1 Right on!👍
@@sixstringtv1 I'm glad you didnt put that vacuum tube into anything you own .
@@brian3344 As am I 😂
I thought I had saw it all until I saw a vibrator for guitar strings. Lmfao the portable speaker is broken!
That rubber pick thingy would work great for a Guitar and Bass double neck player too and anyone who taps a lot and hasn't developed a tuck away technique yet... hmmmm.... anything silicone is good😅
😳
It's def a fun video, and I dig your editing style - I'm just not sure about burning stuff like headphones...
They deserved it.
@@sixstringtv1 oh I don't doubt that, not a bit! And I could only wish you'd found a more brutal way to end them) My point was about proper garbage disposal - but well, it's your video after all :)
@@artemheneralov I disposed of them properly afterwards, I don't litter.
@@sixstringtv1 I do understand it can easily be a minor thing for a channel about guitar-related stuff - but thank you. Cheers!
P.S. Wish you to carry on with the vids!
The thumbnail should say "guitarbage"
KDH brought me here.
I like your channel!
Sub'd.
Thanks for the sub! 🤩
You love those fender strings now haha
I do. Only strings I use now
@@sixstringtv1
I just bought some due to your recommendation!
I hope you get them as a sponsor 👍$$$
The string breaker inner reminds me of those people you actually pay money to, to break in your Doc Martens for you…what a crazy world we live in😂
I don't wanna imagine what the feet of someone who professionally breaks in Docs look like
i think your handpun sound tone is broken because i used mine and it didnt vibrate at all
Baseball bat
*bliss
Keep on growing guitar mother!
Your funny man.
Good work. Love the Malmsteen video I'm a massive fan, but you are so right...WTF happened.
Thanks! Glad you're a fan, it's insane how many people came here from KDH
That pick holder could be quite useful.
Someone said it could be great for tapping, I gotta try that
The first one reminds me how an ebow works...hold it above the strings and hit a note
Sadly its in the bin now
@@sixstringtv1 have you ever used an Ebow? they vibrate and energize the string. Not really to useful or worth the money but look one up...it has the channels underneath like your thingy...just a little smaller
I've heard of the Ebow, used it before too
@@sixstringtv1 I think that was what you had...too bad you destroyed it. Filter used it a few times on songs plus numerous others
How many times did you miss with the bat, and have to edit it so it looked like you got it first try? I only ask cuz some of those hits looked a little awkward, and they weren't all easy things to hit with a bat! ⚾🦇
I didn't miss a single time, some of the hits were just too weak to actually break the (non-hollow) stuff. Harder than it looks to get a nice baseball swing
@@sixstringtv1 nice.. I would've missed at least once, you're a better ball player than I! Better guitar player too!
Had some pretty embarrassingly weak swings in there though
@@sixstringtv1 that's why I thought there'd be a miss or 2! Lol 😂
HAHAHA boy they do sell some junk dont they ? hilarious cool vid dude thanks did BC Rich call u yet !!??😈🤔
No news from BCR, I've stopped caring though.
@@sixstringtv1 yeah not worth thinking about it ! been 2 weeks take it easy man how are things in the UK no shootings daily like here i would hope
I'm from Germany, but there aren't any shootings here either
@@sixstringtv1 oh I thought u was in UK sry take care man cool channel bud
Maybe the first one is for people with one arm it didn’t do that well though
I dont know what a kdh is and at this point i'm afraid to ask.
Those vibration boxes have been around for awhile. They've actually supposed to vibrate the wood of an acoustic guitar to simulate the aging of vintage instruments to improve tone. Of course, this is nonsense, because wood only changes tonally because of drying and shifting.
I’d be interested to know where you got that last part. I know from personal experience that a gap of a few years in the storage of the wood (prior to making an instrument from it) doesn’t make an noticeable difference, whereas an instrument which is a few years old sounds quite different from a newly strung up one.
I'd never seen one before ordering this one, I hope I never see one again.
i know multiple high end classical guitar luthiers who are certain that vibration plays a role in tonal shift, however, such a gadget is likely to do more harm than good when the vibrations it produces are nothing like that of the guitar strings it's trying to emulate.
Luthiers believe a lot of myths and wood doesn't have magical properties. It dries over time and shrinks as it does so, that's the only thing that really changes to affect tone. There are so many things people convince themselves that affect guitar tone and it has become a giant superstitious form of pseudoscience. The head luthier at Taylor guitars set out to prove that wood was entirely less important than building quality and did so by building a guitar out of a wooden pallet.
@@DrDizzleFrizzle we’re talking about a structure being changed over time by forces applied to it. The material it’s made from doesn’t have to have “magical properties” to make that possible.
Funtions lmao!
Clean *and* distortion 😯
Every cent that is spent for this rubbish is to much
True dat
Now if you could buy an AliExpress $300 multi scale guitar that would be awesome
Not a multiscale, but I've got something similar planned
This. Highlarious. Music and breaking shit. Good times.
*Great* times. Glad you think so too 😁
Malmsteen recommended I check out this video.
Gained a lot of attention through the malmsteen vid, thanks for hanging out!
this is the best channel in the history of the world ever in the whole universe multiverse in history in ever in the world in the history of the history of ever of the universe

Glad you're enjoying the content all the way in Lebanon 😁
@@sixstringtv1 sure am :) found out about your channel from kdh's video and i'm binging your vids as we speak
enjoy!
Agreed. It’s pretty solid 👍
Ive seen the actual one on stewmac I don’t remember everything it claims but I don’t think it was for breaking in strings I believe it was for “breaking in the guitar “ lol like it tires to replicate years of playing by some bs theory of vibrating the wood sounds like boomer logic to me
That's somehow worse than my interpretation of what it was. And I thought StewMac didnt sell BS 😂
*never picked up a bat in his life*
I'm a guitar player why am I supposed to have picked up a baseball bat at any point in my life 💀
@@sixstringtv1 bro... is jok... Relax lol
That first thing is an Ebow ripoff
Not really tho. Similar but It doesn't even make the strings resonate (and an Ebow isn't attached to the guitar)
You got it wrong. This vibrating device is NOT for breaking in your strings. You could try and do you homework first.
What homework, it's an AliExpress product 🤣
I only have at my disposal what they supply me with
@@sixstringtv1 homework in terms what such gadgets are used for. To try to use it for breaking in the strings, and than to say that it doesn't work? Of course it wouldn't work, it is not meant for it.
i'm disappointed that you didn't plug the guitar in with the vibrator attached, i bet there's some stoner doom fans out there who could make use of something like that...
A few people have told me that now, I'm disappointed in myself frankly..
also, those little portable amps are very useful for practising with earbuds while on a bus or other places where audible music isn't allowed but that would make good practise time.
I've used ones like the Vox AmPlug, fantastic piece of gear. This one however... no
@@sixstringtv1 sounds exactly the same with headphones, dont be an elitist.
cool video.
Thanks 😌
Is des ne Perügge?
nein
He’s like KDH but a different person
That's a great compliment. KDH was my main inspiration for the content I make.
Guitarbage?
oui
There is an endless amount of little dumb shit like this for drummers too. Gloves that claim to make us a better drummer LMFAO Im sure people buy that crap too lmao. People will buy ANYTHING and do ANYTHING to get better, OTHER THAN PRACTICING! I will never get it lol
This is hilarious 😭
