If you have the money to buy your dream gear, go for it. Even if you think you're unworthy, if just looking at it makes you happy then you made the right choice.
Pocket watchers are the worst
I’m not worthy , I can’t sweep can’t solo but I still purchased a shecter Keith merrow km7 , mesa dual rectifier here I come 🤘🏽
@@biohazard911If it weren't for amateurs with expendable income, there'd be no closet classics for the next generation to pick up for a reasonable price
@@biohazard911 I also can’t sweep pick lol. Sweep picking deficiency gang
great guitar player is purely subjective, buy whatever you want. I only cover pop music and recently got a gibson m2m custom.
I feel like this video was made for my youtube channel lol. The second I go 3 videos in a row without showing how fast I can play, people feel the need to decide the way I spend my money is a really big part of their life. I always say, if you want to buy a $10,000 custom guitar with 2 necks just to play cowboy chords, great! Life's too short, have fun. Thanks for the video, Kyle.
I think we need to stand and give Kyle a slow clap for this video. Andre I agree 100% with what you said.
Didn't expect to see you in the comments Andre. Love your channel, keep it up!
I've been watching Kyle's videos trying to learn how metal tone really works. I'm still pretty lost lol. @@dustinreid2947
Most people who own something like a Porsche 911 GT3 will ever take it to the track, or even have the driving skills to do so at eve a mediocre level. It's the same thing really.
Love your channel Andre. You do you.
Higher quality gear doesn't make you a better player, but good tone and player friendly gear does inspire one to play more often which does make you a better player. Ideally. 😊
100% agree with this. I’m a mediocre bedroom player in my 50’s and I absolutely love owning some nice guitar gear. I honestly couldn’t give a *^+? what others may think. It’s like like someone having the money to own a Ferrari but can’t drive like an F1 driver.
Me too and i`m happy with it ;)
I'm old, and I have been a professional music producer, and guitar tech for the last 35 years and I fvcking love this channel.
You have always been a very humble person honest and a kick-ass riff maker with an awesome right hand.
So, those people need to understand what this platform is used for. And they can fvcking them selfs
I believe it was EVH that said "if it sounds good, it is good" which I have always tried to follow regardless of how much a piece of gear costs. And EVH was playing a partscaster, he never gave a crap what anyone thought. I currently have some high end guitars and amps and some less expensive things as well and I love them all. Great video Kyle
Yes indeed !
I have lived by that and I've got some killer, cheap gear because of it !
Look into the peavey Bravo and Peavey Rockmaster rack tube pre amp, both of those are killer and can be had cheap !
Ha, I always thought that was an Yngwie quote? Doesn't really matter who said it I guess, it holds some truth for sure!
yup I recently tried out a non custom flying v into a cheap evh amp and it sounded anazing!
I’m only a halfway decent player but I have some cheap gear and some really nice gear. It makes me happy and that’s all that matters. I would never tell anyone to not buy the guitar/amp they love regardless of skill. Because that nice Gibson for a beginner may inspire them to play more. We all have to lift each other up in these trying times. Thanks for making this!
I have some nice gear and some budget gear as well but my friends with snobbish attitudes and all really nice gear get real but hut when my budget stuff kicks theirs ass haha. my one buddy quickly realized too that money doesn't always mean better either. he has 4k Gibson les Paul custom koa top its like 1 of 100 or something and his 300 dollar epiphone les Paul standard with a Seymour JB upgrade and thats it and it smoked his koa top custom shop and he even agrees. he said he'd sell it but at this point he's just gonna keep it as an investment for a while and hope I goes up an value and he said he just likes to look at it which I don't blame him its beautiful guitar. but the old eppiphone still out played it.
@@user-sk9yc5px5r Yeah one of my favorite guitars is the MKH Epiphone!
@@user-sk9yc5px5rmy cheap Les Paul has way more output than my custom shop 59 that costs way more. But the custom sounds like true vintage, so 'better' depends on what you want.
Im definitely competent and proficient enough to play the hardcore and 90s emo shit i love listening to, and one day i will play clean enough to play death metal but im in no way “good” guitar player in the ways i think makes a good guitar player “good”. I have had budget gear and right now own a pretty expensive rig but i made myself able to afford it by sticking with my beginner gear for at least a decade until i could afford the good quality stuff i was learning to want over all those years. Purchasing stuff with your own hard earned money is the one thing that should be no ones business other than your own. Thats why we earn our own money, the right to work for what we want.
I tell beginner-to-intermediate types to not buy expensive/dream gear all the time. Because nice gear usually will not make them happy in the way they think, and half the time the stuff they 'dream' of having isn't really what's best for them and they just dont know better due to lack of experience. I'm glad most of this comment section seems to be a bunch of people with mountains of disposable income, but that's not most people. Getting better bang-for-buck and being smart with your money in general is something I'm gonna advocate more than splurging on expensive stuff that most people dont really need. I am not dragging people down with this, I genuinely want them to be happier and more successful in the long run, rather than chasing short-term and often short-lived wish fulfillment.
What a breath of fresh air. Going to the Hall of Fame was really eye-opening for me. My whole perspective changed when I realized that a lot of these holy grail guitars that get reissued for a small fortune are based on the originals that were picked up in pawn shops, put together from parts, etc. I personally feel that it's not so much about the gear, but what you can do with it.
Sure it is. But it's very nice having a good sound and a guitar that is easy on your hands.
Thank you for making this video. I can’t count how many times someone has told me that I can’t buy an expensive guitar until I get better because it was wasted on me because I ‘Can’t use them to their full potential’. Now, I’ve only been learning guitar for about 7 months but I feel that if you can afford it, go for it. The nicer the gear, the more you’ll want to play it, I feel.
It’s just envy because you can afford it and they can’t. Like Kyle says they don’t deserve a response
Probably by using more expensive gear you will push your self more to use it , which will make you a better player and apreciate the money invested , win win situation here
The problem with buying expensive gear when you've only been playing seven months is that you likely dont have the experience to really understand what kind of gear is best for you. It is VERY easy to waste a LOT of money chasing gear that you think'll make you happy or better, but really wont. Similarly, it is very easy to waste a lot of money on gear that isn't really meaningfully better for you than certain cheaper gear would be. At seven months of playing, I'm sorry, but you dont really know shit yet. It's not that you're 'not good enough' for nicer gear, it's that you genuinely wont have the knowledge and experience to grasp what kind of gear is really gonna make you happy. Gear is expensive. Some of y'all must come from very privileged situations to be able to just splurge on expensive stuff, but most people are not. And encouraging smarter and more responsible buying decisions is better than just advocating giving into impulses.
@@TVsBen No, it's not envy. This is a bullshit ass response, sorry. There are very valid reasons to encourage people to be more cautious and not splurge on expensive gear when they're still early on in their guitar playing life. It's also extremely privileged and snobbish to act like everybody saying this stuff is just some 'poors' rather than people with a lot of experience trying to give good advice to younger/less experienced players so they DONT waste a ton of money.
Again, that’s an opinion that’s not based on all the facts. You “assume” I know nothing. The reality is I spend a lot of time researching all of my gear before I buy anything. I don’t go,”OH!!! Shiny!!!!” and buy the damn thing. I’m also 40. I’ll buy whatever I want with the money I work my ass off fixing your cars all day long. Keep you half-baked opinions to yourself because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. When you fuck me, feed me or pay my bills, I’ll listen to you, bud. Good luck and keep on doing your thing. Away from here.
I have plenty of students who most would consider to be intermediate, and usually the thing that motivates them to keep practicing is chasing new gear. If you have the money to chase custom shop instruments, cool. If you can really only trade for other gear in the same price range, that’s also a good grind. Any piece of gear in the right hands will sound great.
One story I like tell was that we where on tour and we played with this band the guitarist was telling us he hadn’t played very long and was still playing his first guitar which was a Ltd m-10 the starter pack Ltd and a Marshall mg100 half stack. Literally the best band we played with on that tour. His tone was perfect for what they are doing, the songs were super clever and they played great.
It’s great to hear others that are sick of the negativity. I appreciate the time you took to remind everyone to be supportive to the musician community at any level.
Advising people to be smarter with their money is not 'negativity'. It's about trying to save people money, so they CAN have money to spend on nicer things when they better understand what'll be good for them. I say all this from personal experience, wishing I had somebody telling me this stuff when I was younger, when I was chasing all kinds of gear and spending loads of money on stuff that wasn't really getting me what I wanted cuz I didn't have the experience to know better.
Gatekeepers buy twice as many pedals because each one has to have a gate to go with it
😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If I listened to gatekeepers I wouldn't have gotten anywhere.. Go forward and destroy!!!! :)
haha love it
Finding good tones with cheap or crappy stuff is a skill in itself, amazing what you can discover.
My friend had a solid state crate combo that sounded amazing, like legit better than some tube amps.
I grew up using a Crate GX-15 combo and a DOD Thrash Master pedal, lol. When I started playing in bands, I had a very limited budget, so I would always have to use tricks to get shitty amps to sound good. Metal Zones with the gain set to zero, overdrive pedals with the gain dimed, you name it, I've tried it. Now, I feel like i can pretty much pull a decent tone out of just about anything, which has saved me a ton of money over the years. I played in a cover band, and the other guitarist had a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and the oversized cabinet, and probably 10 pedals. A friend of mine complimented how much better my guitar sounded than his, and I spent a fraction of the money. I was using a 6505+ I got for $600, a Line 6 V30 cab I got for $200, and a Line 6 HD500X I used for effects in 4 cable method for $250. My entire rig cost less than just his head, lol. Being forced to use shitty gear for years made my rig super easy to dial in.
@@travisspaulding2222 I started out as more of a bass player so I didn't have a guitar amp for years, I used to just run one of those 100$ digitech multieffects into a bass combo and had some good tones from that.
I had a crate Gx15R and it sounded killer on both clean and drive. That crate amp sounding great made me act want to check out their Crate Vintage club tube amps and I'm glad I did !!!! Killer amps and even Joe Walsh, Mark knopfler and one other big name rocker used this Vintage club series amps ! The first series that are blonde are the best in my opinion. Obed Khan designed the amp and it's awesome !
Betting that was a gx130c, still used in death metal to this day. Maybe a vtx350h combo?
This is such a good message and the guitar community needed to hear it badly. Giving your friends a little shit is fine but there is a difference between that and telling someone they aren’t good enough.
For me, it is all about what inspires you. Play what you love and ignore the haters. The music community should be building each other up...not tearing each other down.
Thanks for the positive message Kyle. Like you said, this is supposed to be fun. What you play doesn't matter as long as you're enjoying it.
Thank you for this. I started learning guitar in my forties, the first guitar/amp set up was an Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s and an Orange Crush 35RT. About a year later, replaced those with a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s, and an Orange Rocker 15 combo. I'm still a beginner, and honestly I'll probabaly never be "good enough" to own them, but you know what? I enjoy having them, and can afford them, to me that's what is important.
Man you're doing a great job keep it up! I love watching your videos. You've helped me go back down memory lane in a lot of ways, listening to the videos you've done with amps I used to own, a lot of them that people rip on.
yep. I worked my butt off when I was in my early teens to get a Marshall 2205 half stake in 1985. still have that amp.
Kyle I like your channel and content. I really like the message you’re sending on this subject. MUCH RESPECT! I totally agree that you big content creators need to quit sharing the negative comments. I believe at first it shows you can laugh at it and not let it bother you. However that gives these trolls the spotlight and they don’t deserve that. Share the most positive comments you receive. I’ve learned in this life what absolutely kills the haters/trolls is not acknowledging them at all. “Nothing” them. They’re thoughts and opinions mean “Nothing” to you. When you engage them you’re feeding their fire. When you post their crappy comments you’re feeding their fire. Lastly, for those out there that are stoked about a cheap piece of gear and it’s keeping you excited and interested in your instrument and/or music just ignore the haters/trolls and keep your excitement going. Learning and loving that cheap gear will make you more excited and passionate when you start moving up to better gear.
It’s really great to hear positivity and motivation from you man. Too many people take things to a toxic level in this community where no one can ever stop learning in the first place. Keep up the good work, Kyle!
I’d consider myself a very solid player and my gear is significantly cheaper than many other guitarists I know who are not as solid.
For those of them that just enjoy having nice things, that makes sense to me. They probably enjoy playing through great gear.
But I also sometimes get the feeling they’re getting that crazy expensive gear because they’ve been convinced it’s somehow necessary. Whether they think they need it to improve as guitarists or to be taken seriously by other musicians.
“These are luxury items” is something I think we all should remind each other every once in a while.
Great vid, my dude! I'm with ya 100%. Let's make this community welcoming and fun to be a part of. 🤘🎸
I really appreciate this video and the positive change your trying to make in the world.
Excellent points. I'm 58 and I've been playing for a LONG time. Younger guys may not realize this but we are living in the Golden Age of affordable gear. When I was coming up ALL cheap gear was absolute trash. But that's we had so that's what we played. I honestly think it made me a much better player. Although I have lots of high end gear now, I just bought a used Cort GT 110 for $110 and it's an absolute RIPPER. Lol.
Awesome video. Awesome channel. Glad you made this. Glad I hang out here. ⚡😎⚡
Really enjoy and appreciate this video Kyle, I own cheap gear and even planning my own first high gain tube amp build, and I thoroughly enjoy everything
Couldn't have said it better myself man! People will be people, and everyone just needs to be happy with their selves. I'll never understand the bashing and hate in this community or anywhere for that matter. Keep on spreading the positivity and making awesome content for us all to learn from. Rock on Kyle!
I love that you made this video, it truly needed to be said. It’s basically a form of bullying and it unfortunately does happen in all “groups” of people and that is to bad. Love your videos man, your personality is awesome, keep doing it!
Good for you man, awesome to hear someone speaking up!!
Wow, such a great and informative video. Topics like these are so important in any creative endeavors. Salute!
Good stuff man. I love buying gear but try to limit it, and I do this by setting playing goals before I can buy the next thing. I wanted a TS9 because I heard Kirk uses one, so I made myself learn the Ride the Lightning solo first. Now I'm a little bit better AND I own another dirt pedal!
I've been struggling with this as well. I'm a novice guitar player. I played for a year 20 years ago, and picked it back up about 1.3 years ago, but playing daily. I know I'm not giving up, so I just bought a Friedman Twin sister and Small Box to reward myself for my hard work. I feel silly struggling to play Zeppelin riffs on such expensive gear, but tbh the new toys make me want to play even more. If it's in your budget and you know you're not giving up on the hobby, I say go for it, or else stick with budget gear.
Best guitar video I have seen in a while and that's saying something since guitars were barely seen or heard. Thanks for a positive message ,Kyle.
I agree with you entirely, Kyle. Glad you’re publicly addressing the “bullying” that occurs with gatekeepers, because that’s exactly what it is, and I HATE bullies.
I dig your videos and I’m glad that you are the one who has said what needed to be said, because MAYBE it will help get through to people and change this toxic culture that exists online.
I am pretty certain that most of these people who display this kind of behavior wouldn’t do it at all if they weren’t sitting behind a computer and they were actually in front of the person they’re criticizing.
Thanks for speaking out and please keep up the good work.👍🏻
Here you are speaking against gatekeeping while gatekeeping. That’s total gaslighting.
I enjoy your mental gymnastics
Great message bro! Spot on. Thanks for telling it like it REALLY IS!!!!
You’re the man, Kyle 🤘🎸❤️
Great video Kyle, love your toughts, best regards bro, spread love and good music
You are now my favorite guitar channel, keep it up, thanks for this video.
I remember when I started playing in '09 with a 15w combo amp and getting shit on due to not having a nice stack like a Dual Rec or a Peavey. Always rolled with whatever I could afford at the time.
But fast forward to the 2020's and the amount of options for budget gear that sounds awesome is insane compared to 10 years ago.
I never understood the player hatin', especially since we're all just trying to jam.
I’ll buy whatever the fkk I want and I’ll advance whenever the fkk I want. I play drums, bass and guitar just well enough to write my own shit.
channel's growing my man, stoked for you!
Outstanding video, bud! I always enjoy your videos, but especially this one for a completely different reason. Had to be said, and you said it very well!
100% all of what you've said.
I never understand why people need to feel like they have the "best". It comes across as them projecting their insecurities, and being a jerk to others as a result.
Ty for the positivity!
Erm, I used to be this guy. I was an idiot in my early 20s. It's easy to be resentful of the spending power that people in their 40s have, until you get into your 40s and look back at all the hard work it took to get here.
Jealousy, really.
People are 💩. I recently saw a post in my Facebook feed for a Gibson guitar group - was a specific post gushing about an original DG-335. I couldn’t believe the crap questions you had to respond to join the group so you could just get in on the discussion. The level of detail and snobbery, not to mention proving you had a good enough Gibson (I can’t even afford an Epiphone) just to get into that group - I just walked away like wtf.
I’m here for all the right reasons. Learning to play, enjoying music, making new friends, etc. I’ve met tons of great people along the way, but I wish those gatekeepers would spend more of their time and money helping people get some inexpensive gear if they can’t afford it rather than showing off and trolling. I don’t really know why those people are interested in guitars other than to show off and be asswipes. Like do something positive, right?
This is the first video on your channel I've seen, but i really like you attitude. I'll come back to watch some of your other videos as well.
Thank you for your honesty! You´re a good person and it´s always nice to watch your videos. Greetings from Germany!
Got my Peavey Bandit 112 as my first "real" amp at 16 years old. I still have it, I still use it somewhat regularly...sometimes with my Gibson Les Paul Custom. Always play what you like (in feel and sound) and you can afford. Forget the rest. I love my JCM900 SL-X. A lot of people hate 900s. I don't let it bug me at all.
My first big amp was an SL-X with a 1960A. I bought it new just as the JCM2000s were being rolled out, so I got a pretty good clearance deal on it! I was 19, I didn't know what I was doing. Ended up moving on from it a few years later after realising I really wanted two channels but I have some good memories with it!
I have a bandit 112 that I got in like 1995 that I hadn’t turned on in 20 years because I thought it was garbage. A couple months ago I took it apart and cleaned it up and played through it and was kinda impressed. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. That being said I still probably won’t ever use it much but it was better than expected.
@@jcwoodstl the Bandit does a very specific early 90s black metal thing for me personally. But I use it for other things as well. Not gonna say it's a grail type amp, but it's very capable.
Love this video, the people who still try to do this toxic behavior, usually having never tried the things they pop in to comment on... just giving blanket statements and name dropping their credits/experience as if it improves the validity of their opinion. I'd even go as far as saying creators should feel free to moderate (delete) these kind of toxic comments right out of existence. Otherwise, they just end up dominating the comment feed. Futility.
Awesome video! I thought playing guitar was about passion and fun and learning as u go. I have sub par gear but I have fun and enjoy playing!
Kyle Thank you for sharing that perspective and really means a lot, you are a great guy very inspiring always. Cheers buddy !
Would love to see more positive videos like this from all musician content creators
Exactly man. I started playing really crappy gear but it was what my parents could afford. Being a truck driver, been through a divorce is what sparked guitar again. I am super happy that i am going to be getting a couple Gibsons and a KSR Juno, next year. I definitely am glad i have a Mesa, KSR and omega. Couldn't be happier as it took alot of hard work to get here.
Dude the Juno is awesome!! I’d love to hear more good demos of it.
@travisschuster4676 I've had one before. Used the wrong speakers, cab and didn't dial it in like a Marshall. But brain ticks
Towards. Mesa😂
\,,/,
I'm learning later in life. Thank you for sharing this, I do get excited about my stuff, and this is encouraging.
Great vid KB, TRUTH buying my first high end guitar and gear improved my playing 10 fold best move I made in my guitar journey ..lotsa help from this channel
Buy what you want to buy, who cares.
Right on, brother.
I couldn't agree more, and I appreciate your positive influence.
I am glad to hear you speak out. People tend to forget that we all started playing music for fun and it should always be fun.
Hats of dude. Your channel has become one of my favorite and this is certainly one of the reasons for!
You are so on point and totally how I have felt about almost all fandom anymore. Ive aquired some cool vintage stuff either through trade or just being in the right place at the right time.
I appreciate this video, a lot of valid points! Enjoy what you got, enjoy the process!
great video dude, keep up the good work🙂
Earned a sub bro. Love your down to earth personality. Keep doing what you're doing bro. I would label myself as an experienced guitarist with 13 years under my belt, and to this day some of my favorite gear to use is budget friendly
I've learned tons of valuable information from your channel and any upcomer or someone just getting into gear could learn a lot from your videos. You are one of the reasons I got into Peavey and I've never been happier. Misery loves company... I love killer deals and cheap hidden treasures.. lol ... Love the videos and keep them coming 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
Hey man I don't usually watch your videos but I respect you a lot for this. Thanks for sharing - inspiration and positivity. 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for this video, it really means a lot and shows a lot of maturity. I for a long time thought that i needed better gear to be happier, and more inspired but it's so not true! Amongst some of my 'nice gear', I have some really old and battered Ibanez tone lok pedals. Ive had them for over 20 years and im so happy with them! In addition, i think guitar players sometimes get caught up with gear too much and forget to actually play!
I really love your content kyle! You are the only one i have to watch right away!
This is awesome!! Thank you!
Love your perspective , watch almost every video you send out in the universe, but never comment, but absolutely love this. cheers. Thought I would comment & mention you always do a great tutorial.
Great message Kyle! Kudos to you for bringing this up.
People should learn to judge less other people and respect everyone's choices.
At the end of the day, the only person that knows what’s good for you is yourself, no one else.
Well said, all of it. I have only recently just started watching your vids. It was all dead on the money, all of it! So good in fact I liked and subscribed.
Am a beginner guitar player and I always love these discussions. My first guitar was a Harley Benton Tele clone and I liked it but I got it because it was the cheapest Harley Benton available at $69 excluding shipping. I did notice some of the downfalls of the guitar so it taught me how to properly set up my guitar with truss rod adjustments and adjusting saddle height so my strings are a lot lower. My second and newest guitar I bought last week, a used Squier Affinity from Guitar Center at $140 including shipping. I love this guitar, even though it's a Squier it feels more premium than the HB since the frets are smooth at the end. I was also able to lower the string height even further without any buzz. I am proud of this guitar even if it doesn't break the $200 budget, I still worked hard to afford it. I'm also proud of the amp I have. I bought a $100 Yamaha bass amp, the B30 and I get a lot more use out of that compared to when I was using my computer as an amp sim. As long as the gear doesn't turn off people from the hobby, it's still good enough gear
Excellent Video Bro!!!
Kyle you are a talented and humble guy who tells it like it is which is why your channel is fantastic! My first guitar was an ESP E-II Eclipse which I still own and love as much as my custom guitars.
I appreciate your honesty, Kyle, I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your content a lot.
Great video! We all came from somewhere when it comes to gear and we've all obviously found happiness with it because here we are. Sometimes I might share my opinion when asked but I always state it is my opinion and experience because as the old saying goes "different strokes for different folks"
@kylebull you made a ridiculous amount of good points. And Peavey kills..... the XXX was my very 1st tube amp and I miss that thing every day. And not to roll myself under a salt truck, but I have a ridiculous amount of silly gear, but the stuff I use on the regular is very much budget friendly and I play that said gear because it's fantastic stuff and I flat out want to. Great video and I'd love to see more content like this from your brand
Love your content Kyle, this video was refreshing. I hate gatekeepers.
I'm a tone chaser, I've spent years going through gear, but I love building up low end gear to great looking and sounding gear.
I've got a Stagg L320 gothic Les Paul body that I've full upgraded and custom painted, and other guitarists at stores or friends houses have crapped on my guitar because it's a Stagg, until they hear it. It's a emg 81/85 loaded, monster sounding drop B tuned, gold on pearl black metallic with a gold Punisher skull painted on the body. I'm running that through a MKII EHX MIG 50 head, to a custom line 6 4x12 cab loaded with 2xDV-77s and 2xCelestion Hot100, and I love it.
Couldnt agree more brother. Its music!! Enjoy it, enjoy creating it and lift each other up.
Wtg Kyle!
Excellent video. Thanks for making it.
Amen, brother. Keep doing what you do!
Great video! Observed the same in a lot of different forums that’s why I don‘t frequent them anymore.
Well said Kyle! Love your channel man 🤘🏼
Hey man. I’m a new listener to your site guitar player for 30 yrs. Just wanted to say love what you’re doing keep it going. Good job bro.
Thanks for the video. It is spot on for me. I lost faith on internet discussions since the advent of social medias. As soon as a thread or a channel become known it gets filled with haters and trolls.
So, now, I keep my thought for myself. (normally)
Since this video is on that particular subject, I sharing my thoughts. It is not easy to to ban peoples on your channel, but hey, it is YOUR UA-cam channel so do as you wish. I will never complain. The only way I would, would be to do it on my own channel which is the most unknown one ;-)
I got cheap gear, but maybe too much anyway. I'm a power chord player. So not a real guitar player. But, playing guitar for me is satisfying. It gets my feeling and emotions stream out of my body. I started a few years ago (I'm 58) and I just don't understand why I nerver started before...
You are fun to watch and your channel is a happy one. Keep up.
My first rig in the mid 80s was 4 Peavey Bandits, daisy chained with a Tokai Overdrive and Ibanez Delay. To this day I will always remember it. Everyone loves expensive, boutique gear but it dont make the player or the person. Great content. Cheers !
First off I think you're a badass guitar player in a really solid person for coming out and posting a video like this secondly as somebody that's had a plethora of gear never really had the money to afford it just been lucky and found some really good deals and pawn shops I personally been playing since 86 value your opinion and think that you make really intelligent valid points on all of your topics keep on kicking Brother
Love what you do brotherman!
My guitar rig for Home is pretty simple.
-$500 les Paul epiphone
- 15 yr old peavey vypr 15($100) combo( sounds killer with headphones on but very mid with speaker)
- drop tune digitech pedal with beefy bottoms and slinky top strings in E standard
- Virtual Jeff, digital whammy bar
All this stuff is very very budget friendly and allows me to get just about any decent tone or affects I want and I’m able to use my favorite type of guitar with a whammy bar without having any tuning issues and I can drop tune my guitar without having to do really anything. Total gear cost with some accessories comes out to about $1500
I agree, I hate seeing those comments in some of the FB groups. I find myself telling myself that phrase however "you're not good enough for that high end amp", but that's basically because I'm cheap. Also, I'm usually pretty satisfied with my 50w EVH 5150III since I'm a bedroom player. Good vid, Kyle.
Thanks for this. You’re a good dude. We need more of this kind of positivity!
Love this video, man! Such a great message. What’s the 7-string you were holding up in the beginning? Looked gorgeous
Hit the nail on the head! Great video man
I bought a nice guitar and it motivated me to practice more thus improving faster. Bought nice tube amp. Now I do not need new gear since my nice gear is life time. Bought custom Jackson two years after learning and high end amp, Worth it!
Spot on, keep it up! 👊🏻
Very well said! You def got a new subscriber.
Love your channel well spoke thank you 🙏 😊
Good subject kyle! There's ALOT of gatekeepers or "trolls" criticing people's choices on gear,when i first got a guitar it was a harmony strat copy and a few months later i wired the bridge pickup and middle together and bam! Instant tone,yeah id love to slap down some serious cash for a revv generator 120 amp and cabinet but im happy w my crate gt 212 120 watt combo,had it forever and after 20 plus years it still rattles the windows,yeah i have some cheap guitars but they're fun to play,music is supposed to be fun not a competition,i used to be in guitar related facebook groups but everyone made fun or bullied me for comments made on a guitar or gear,(blocked em lol) but the negativity needs to stop for real and people need to grow up,bully's will get karma eventually but good video
Brought down to earth, brother!!! I commend you for this video!!! I have two primary rigs I play... An ibanez rg450 (500 dollars) into a spark amp (250 dollars). The other is a 1997 jackson Kelly (700 in 98) into an mx5 headrush (400 dollars in '23) through presonus 5 monitors (200 in '23) and I love my tones!!! I have a beastly Crate g1500 red letter and a 4x12 5150 cab (300 in '97) that sounds great to me live with a tube screamer (100 in '23). I have my wish list but I have already realized I don't need it.... well, I do need the jackson death angel guitar... but I am sure it will sound great on my budget rigs!!!
