What’s the easiest way to tell that someone doesn’t like The Beatles?
Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.
They will die a horrible death anyways, let them rot in theur ignorance

Yeah, The Beatles are influential and all, but people like to act like they’re the best to ever do what they did

"green Day would have been so much better if they learned a fourth chord" genuinely got me to choke on some the water I was drinking at the time
video games actually have sick sound tracks often, and that inspires young kids to pick up an instrument and play that music. ive seen that one vid of someone playing minecraft music to random people and people absolutely loved that. video game music are very memorable to whoever played them and def has a positive influence on learning music.
The one soundtrack that got me into metal music was a game's. The game was EU4 and band was Sabaton. I was owning the soundtrack without knowing it. When I first hear it, i thought it was kinda sick but never thought it was metal. As a simple person, I was thinking that what metal really is just black metal. One day I paused the soundtrack and googled for Sabaton, then I learnt the whole universe of metal. I found metal genres such as folk & symphonic metal which are still my favorites. Then I found melodic death. And found metalcore which is my favorite of all. It turned out that only reason I hated metal was black metal and grind, and I was living a lie for years. (Don't get mad i respect the cvlt and actually enjoy the history of it, but for me it's not the thing that I like to hear from my own speakers.)

Kanye West started making music because he wanted to make video game music.

Ron Asheton was The Stooges' guitarist and he influenced punk rock to come as well as people like J Mascis and Slash because of his wah-driven solos.
this comment should be highlighted.
kinda disappointed that neither of them have heard of Ron Asheton
And J Mascis, he is the best guitar player of all fucking time
The intro to I Wanna Be Your Dog is unreal for 1969, easily compares to Black Sabbath in terms of heaviness.
Stooges are amazing, and along with Ron Asheton, James Williamson is great too with Raw Power
Technology ruining music? I first picked up a guitar BECAUSE of Guitar Hero.

"I don't see any redeeming quality in cassettes."
*Techmoan wants to know your location*
Oh, s...
...what?
Can you defend cassettes? Like, is this a real argument some people are making?
Cause cassettes sound like shit. There really are no redeeming qualities.
MAYBE you could argue that you miss recording directly to cassette, but that's still a dumb argument. You gotta get the timing right, and if you miss part, you gotta wait until the next time you hear the song. And even then, you can get, what, 14 songs on a cassette?
Make digital playlists instead. You can still carefully curate them, make sure there's a good flow between songs, and a good overall momentum for the playlist as a whole.
Your playlist can be as long (or short, no wasted cassette space) as it needs to be, will play with decent quality, can be shared with others without losing the copy yourself, and won't take days or weeks to finish.
So, yeah, no redeeming qualities.
@@bronsoncarder2491 They don't sound like shit. They sound fine. Not as good as vinyl, or CD. But fine. A good cassette deck sounds better than the cheap headsets, and desktop speakers most people use. The reason you think they sound like shit, is because you probably remember listening to something badly recorded off the radio, on a cheap car cassette player. It's like saying CDs sound like crap, because you burned some low-quality MP3s on it.
@@bronsoncarder2491 Or don't record off radio to the cheapest cassettes you can buy and play them back on the worst equipment possible.
@@sinbysin666 THANK YOU! It's like saying all music is crap cause the only album you've ever heard was The Shaggs
In ref to the Jimmy Page controversial comment: I believe this comment was made in light of Jimmy's 'limited' techniques, not questioning his ability. Pagey doesn't sweep pick, doesn't play trills, doesn't play 1,000 notes/second which is very popular nowadays. Pagey is the very best at what he does.
John564 Holloway 100%
I would argue that, in some of his solos, he even shows impressive technical ability along with his unparalleled feel. He does get sloppy at times but that always added to the effect for me. It shows you that he is truly pushing his limits, it keeps you on edge.
How could any of that replace his songwriting , composition , feel. Jimmy page rules. It's really not easy to play either.
Jimmy Page was a session player before Led Zeppelin. How many session players do you know that are "sloppy"? His technique was on purpose to play the song, not "lack of ability."
Ömer Kerim
Exactly! (Not counting the times he was drugging out of his mind) Page was sloppy at times because you can tell he’s pushing himself to try something he may not have mastered yet. In a way he was just the final evolution of all of us “fake it ‘till you make it” guys who may not play perfect, but try anyway.
He once said “I may not be technically the best, but when I’m on stage, I go for it.” And man do I ever relate to that.
The covered name was secretly John Mayer
Matthew Aasen PRS ARE HIDEOUS
I don't think that guitar music is "dying", it's just changing, guitar now is more at the service of the song in general, i like it, we will play less solos but maybe we will have a more important role in the song that makes it special
Actually, the guitar is still doing way more now than it was 20 years ago. I dare anyone to revisit how dead the landscape was for musicians in the 90's. Thankfully that period died the disgraceful death it should have. I even remember an issue of "Guitar World" magazine in which the editor officially announced the end of those dark ages and I never looked back. (Unless it was from the '80s or an underground group)
@fjf sjdnx "Rock" songs, I don't pay attention to Pop. Pop was the order of the day in the '90s. With the rise of Brittany Spears and "boy bands" like Backstreet Boys and N-Sync, it was said that rock music was finished. Compared to that time, Rock actually has a presence. With the arrival of high-speed internet and immediate access to any number of music-related media, not to mention that the guitar is treated as more than a glorified bass and guitarists have rediscovered how to play more than barre chords and strumming. Yeah, way better than the days when I bunkered down on catalog-ordered cd's and dial-up mp3's to hear current Rock musicians that actually played something in their songs. Rock has been through way worse than anything happening today.
fjf sjdnx Yea there are dude, have you listened to the radio at all
guitar is at the forefront of emo rock and alternative influenced hip hop nowadays. mainly due to how this type of music is basically rock and alternative guitar music but with trap drums.
The Smashing Pumpkins. They weren’t underground. They released their first album (as far as I know) was in 1989. Their big album was in the 90’s (Melloncollie and the Infinite Sadness).

5:31 I couldn’t disagree with this opinion more.
I’m 17, and for as long as I could remember, I’ve been playing video games. And in the better of 2 years I’ve gotten super into guitar. Why? Because of video game music. Specifically the Skyrim bards (but great contributing factors were Prey’s soundtrack, and Doom’s) were really cool to me, and one day, I said “screw it, I’m getting a guitar.” Ever since then I’ve dabbled in a lot of different styles, starting with the classics, Led Zeppelin, GNR, etc. But since then I’ve migrated to different genres that I’ve found and loved. I’ve found guitarists like Maneli Jamal, Shaï Sebbag, Jon Gomm, Lance Allen, and more. I’ve found my place with the kind of guitar I want to play but don’t shy away from new genres. I’ve since picked up a mandolin and started trying to learn some of Bach’s scores (inspired by Chris Thile).
Long story short, good games brought me to be intrigued in playing music. I was never forced into music and none of my family played. I found my way... even if it was too late for perfect pitch lmao
growing up playing a lot of jrpgs like persona/final fantasy and fighting games like guilty gear/blazblue/melty. video games directly impacted the music i listened too and the music that I played. That opinion is the worst
I also got into guitar because of video games (Guitar Hero and Doom) but I have to agree on this in general. Most kids these days play video games and watch UA-cam and that is all they do (apart from school). When I look at my 2 younger brothers I can definitely see this trend but of course there will be kids like us who play video games but also learn an instrument or even got into a instrument because of video games. But I stopped playing games and now I play 4 instruments and my ear is developed quite good, being able to figure out most songs by ear and video games just held me back consuming time I could have used otherwise and therefore I stopped, getting really good at my instruments
Probably half the music I listen to is from video games. Ive always loved music from Halo, Zelda, Mario, Elder Scrolls, and so much more. Video games give birth to absolute masterpieces. And were it not for them I would likely never have been into orchestra and instrumental type stuff. Not to mention when they sometimes do use songs from bands or other artists in a game, it introduced me to those songs and bands I otherwise would of never heard of.
Oh yeah definitely that's not true. I got into music from playing rock band. It sounds like the same argument as like phones or the internet are killing music, just because people have other things to do besides music doesn't mean no one will do it (and to add on to that, video games/phones/internet aren't the first alternative to music in human history, people have always had other things to do)
lone wolf41696 couldn’t agree more. In fact, personally, I think Halo has some of the best scores in video game history. Specifically Halo 3. But I mean, I always loved kicking on Halo 3 as a kid and hearing that title music. God it was wonderful. That was the game that, from an early age, taught me that orchestral music was great in its own merit. Music that I otherwise wouldn’t have heard given the nature of most music I grew up around. And Zelda games man, don’t even get me started lmao. There’s just so many good OST’s that just expanded my musical ear without me even knowing it at the time.
"What would the scatman say?"
"He'd say 'I'm a scatman'."
Improvising isn’t easy, noodling on your guitar is easy.
Nah.
Read Zen Guitar. Letting go and allowing things to flow like a conversation can be very difficult for some people. I'm actually on the opposite end of the spectrum. It is hard for me to focus on every little thing I play because the goal I'm always after is trying to get out of the way of my subconscious. To not think or try and anticipate what I'm going to play next. As a matter of fact I will deliberately ignore and just wait until something happens. Combine that with putting as much feeling as you can into every note you play and amazing improvisation is practically impossible NOT to happen! Its the spiritual side of music that has to be understood and practiced as a concept but you cant begin to implement it until you know how to play to some degree first. Zen Guitar. All you need to know

Threw those pants right out.

Some dude online: Technology today is ruining music, all the video games are making kids not learn music.
8-Bit Music Theory: *I'm about to ruin this guy's whole career...*
When I first picked up a guitar the first thing I wanted to play was megalovania
Robert Fripp is one of the most influential guitar players in the sense of its evolution in sounds in the early-mid 70s and early 80s
Finally someone said it.
yup. king crimson practically invented heavy metal with 21st Century Schizoid Man, which is baffling to me considering that's the first song on their first studio album
On the topic of videogames ruining music, part of the reason I picked up guitar was Steve Vai's guitar in the Halo 2 soundtrack.
i started playing drums because of rock band 2
I started to learn how to sing because that persona 5 soundtrack is 🔥
We just need a bassist and you guys got a band 🤘🏽
Rock on!
Deus Ex and Tiberian Sun, Metal Gear Solid... I consider those soundtracks as actual influences like any other band,
TL;DR: The Blues isn't overrated, it's that generic sounding Pop-Blues everyone is used to hearing that is.
Personally I'm a huge Blues fan, I love playing it, singing it, listening to it, etc. However I think when most people think of "the Blues" they think about the simple E 12-bar blues that their dad and his drinking buddies would jam over for hours on end. I love Page, Clapton, and many of the other Bluesy Brit Rockers as Rock musicians, but I think they more or less ruined what the Blues was supposed to be in most listeners' and musicians' eyes. When I play Blues, I tend to play Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Son House, Howlin Wolf, etc (my favorite Blues players). I'll admit that I play Blues stuff at Guitar Center and other guitar shops (never that loud because holy fuck I'm so self conscious about my playing), but I play old school Delta Blues on an electric guitar and for whatever reason I always have someone come up and ask me about what I'm playing. It may sound like I'm rambling, but my point is that I don't think that the Blues itself is overrated, it's that generic sounding Pop-Blues everyone is used to hearing that is.
I can't stand Joe Bonomassa. i get his skill and whatever. but it's like a rich kid that just focused on technique but has no musical personality. Blues artists have become way to sterile
The most popular segment of every genre is bound to sound a little generic
My favourite blues album is Portishead’s Dummy. No one who says they hate blues could say the things they hate about blues they hate about that album.
@@anthropophagistsomnambulis9872 Yeah, I can't remember who it was, but I was reading an article and the dude mentioned Bonamassa and mentioned that. "Great player, but I couldn't pick his sound out of a lineup" something along those lines. I was in a band with a guitar player that fucking worshiped Bonamassa and all he ever wanted to do was cover JB songs. I never understood his obsession, the guy could play but it was just like JB, so it didn't really have much life to it.
Yeah. The pop bluesy licks and stuff begin to get a bit banal as you listen to it for so long. But again it requires a person of great taste to appreciate even that. Back to your point, yes, blues with jazz colours was a bit hard for me to appreciate, and I guess still is. But sadly I have grown tired of the formulaic blues too. So I'm neither on Hendrix/Clapton nor am I getting jazzy.

Controversial music opinion:
People who can’t stand instrumental music of any kind but claim to love music really don’t. They just love singing.
I think that is a little unfair, I think that lyrical storytelling and prominent lyrical melody cutting through the mix is just so entrenched historically in American music that most people have grown hardwired to appreciate that a lot in their musical taste.
However, I do agree to an extent that if someone professes to have a deep love for music but can't appreciate an instrumental piece, their love for music probably doesn't go that deep.
Well, it goes far beyond America. But besides that, I don’t know what the cause is. However, instrumental music very much can have lyrical melody. You don’t need lyrics for that. As for lyrical storytelling, I agree that it is significant and important and moving. I just don’t think it’s a necessity for every piece of music in order to be interesting or even worth listening to, as many do. In fact, it may not be lyrical storytelling but instrumental music can certainly tell a story. It just doesn’t give it to you outright
I love lyrics and think they can greatly enhance music and give a whole other level of depth and can imbue it with meaning in a way that nothing else can. Many lyrics have moved me to the point of tears. But my controversial opinion still stands. For whatever that counts for, that is
And to make a final point, while lyrics can add meaning in a way that nothing else can, so too can instrumental music carry meaning that songs simply cannot. Some music lyrics just detract from. And, while I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like any music with lyrics, I know plenty of people who don’t like any instrumentals. I think anyone who truly loves music deeply will see the value of both
Yes I agree. They are just interested in Lyrics. If you would do a quick survey you would find out that those that are really into music and have a good musical ear, hear the instruments first and the vocal line. Sometimes don't really noticed the lyrics in the song after at least 3. listening of the song. However when you have the average listener that doesn't have a specific ear of music, he will most likely pay attention to the lyrics of the song not really paying attention to the melody, in the vocals or the instruments. Not saying that he won't pay attention to the music at all, just saying that that aspect comes second. The quality of the lyrics will be the main thing that will determine wether that type of a listener will like the song or not. While it is just the opposite for the former type.
Stefán Atli Jakobsson
You make some good points! And I know some people, not the majority of the people I was referring to but definitely in more extreme cases, that even after hearing a song dozens and dozens of times still don’t listen to the instruments at all except in very specific places (where there are no lyrics like intros, outros, between sections, during solos and things like that) where you’re all but forced to listen to the instruments if you don’t immediately tune the music out when lyrics aren’t present, although I can think of at least one person I know who is that extreme about it! lol
I also think how much people listen to the instrumental aspects of a song is largely dependent on how they’re hearing it. Through, say, phone or laptop speakers the instruments can be very hard to hear at times, especially low end frequencies like the bass and kick drum, and the overall quality of sound is much lower and less clear. On the other hand, these speakers are practically optimized for the typical vocal range of frequencies
Also, I think all of them definitely pay attention to the vocals beyond just the lyrics, and an easy way to demonstrate that is to play a song that has what they consider to be bad or unpleasant vocals. Oftentimes the vocals (not the lyrics) ruin songs for people outright, although there are maybe just as many examples of lyrics ruining songs for people as well. I must admit, there are many songs throughout the years which I’ve loved musically but stopped listening to because of the lyrical content, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. It’s a personal choice, and in my opinion that shouldn’t reflect negatively on someone’s musical tastes. After all, lyrics are a very important part of songs
Needless to say, there’s a lot of factors behind what people listen to when and why
Yeah, I think that's fair to say. I'll even admit to having been an example of this.
I've always loved singing, mostly cause I'm good at it. So, I decided to pick up guitar, maybe work towards starting a band. I started learning some songs, only to discover... I didn't really know how the instruments were supposed to sound.
I started learning from tabs (a mistake, for sure), and was amazed to find that most songs didn't sound anything like I expected with the vocals removed.
It was a huge eye opener for me. A decade later, I'm still trying to retrain the way I listen to music, to pay attention to individual instruments, rather than overall rhythm and Melody.

This was awesome, you should do more of these.
My controversial opinion:
I don't hate Nickelback.
Don't get me wrong, "Photograph" is one of the worst songs to hit popular rock radio in decades. But, their first album, Silver Side Up, was great. Every song on there is either decent, or at least has merit (the guitar tone on "Hangnail" for instance).
I honestly think that the reason they went so far downhill is that they had the money to do whatever they wanted, and that lead singer is clearly a bit of a perfectionist. He "perfected" all of the musicality right out of the music. Lol
Their first album was “Curb”. Second was “The State”. “Silver Side Up” was their third record. It wasn’t a bad effort, but they didn’t really catch their stride until their 5th record “All the right reasons” IMO.
They were the band that literally got me into metal and heavier-ish music (due to the baritone tuning and heavy guitar tone), and Eagles with rock.
Silver side up is their third. And their first two were pretty good.
@@blainev1 huh... So it is. Not sure why I thought that was their first.
I'll be honest, besides Silver Side Up, I've only heard their radio hits. I just really enjoy that album. "Too Bad," and "Just For" are some of my favorite alternative rock songs.
@@jared305 huh... I've never thought of them as heavy, by any means.
But, then, several of my friends are in Death Metal bands, so I might have a slightly skewed view of heaviness, due to their influence. Lol
I'll always love RATM, but the Tom Morello one made me laugh so hard
the tom morello thing might be a reference to the new onslaught of masterclass ads that we are subjected to for watching guitar videos.
😂😂 Exactly!!!
Okay, here’s mine: Robert Smith from the Cure and David Byrne from Talking Heads need a crap ton more respect that they get. People tend to put great lead players up on pedestals, and Robert and David are rhythm players, but they’re so unique and creative.
For proof: Watch Psycho Killer, from Stop Making Sense. David’s playing is surprisingly complex for a song that on the surface has only like 4 chords. And listen to Lullaby from Disintegration. Robert made a rhythm guitar sound the way a spider looks, and it’s very creepy.
Wdym they are literally the only members of the team anyone knows and they are both super popular bands (except maybe Brian eno for remain in light)
Spot on: I absolutely prefer composers who are mostly recognized for using the guitar, which must be always primarily rhythm players (the basis of any -or almost all- goddamned musical piece, obviously).
The kareoke version of talking head songs are best but yeah simple to play until you have to play it live

The Beatles are my absolute favourite band ever
Yea
I can tell for both of you lol
@@ygslyn6732 hahaha
To people who don't like the Beatles, I would say, stop listening to their early hits like I Wanna Hold Your Hand, and instead listen to the whole of Abbey Road, keeping in mind that it came out before 1970. Or the White Album, keeping in mind it was 1968. And then look at what other bands were doing at the time. There was certainly a lot of good stuff around (I personally quite like the Doors and Arthur Brown, who were both around at that time), and I'm not saying the Beatles were necessarily way above the rest of it, but they were at the very least on par.
Or, you know, don't listen to that stuff, and just listen to the stuff you already do like :P not gonna force people to agree with my views
coryman125 I’ve listened multiple times to all of their albums from Please Please Me to Let It Be, and while I think The White Album is borderline good and Abbey Road has its moments, they are still just a shitty pop band
Tbe beatles were on top for five straight years
See, and the only Beatles songs I can stand are their earlier hits. They’re later stuff is just so weird and confusing to me. I think they deserve all the credit they get as innovators, but that doesn’t mean I like to listen to them.
@@zachary4670 I can respect that! I prefer the later stuff but the early stuff is still catchy and fun. Really taste is subjective and I won't try to say otherwise, but saying that they were influential is just factual :P
oasis fan75 If you read my comment correctly, you’d know that I said I have listened to ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS from please please me to let it be MULTIPLE TIMES
I love blues as I have recently picked up guitar and started learning blues lessons and different way to play cords while inter grating the pentonic scale.
Great video! You should continue these for sure
I still think One Hot Minute is a good album, regardless of its background
It's fucking perfect
2 good songs
I agree, I love that album
Retrospectively (which is all I can offer, considering I was born a couple of months after OHM was released), I think the flak it gets is from being sandwiched between BSSM, which pushed them into the stratosphere in terms of recognition, and Californication, which for a lot of people, is their best effort. It's an awesome album; it was just a product of a very difficult environment, and I personally think that shows in the music.
My personal take on it is that, in a vacuum, it's a great album. Within the greater context of their discography, it comes off flat. But, they've been around for almost 40 years, they're allowed a misstep here or there. (See: Rush's Caress of Steel, or Led Zeppelin's Presence.)
I'll close my comment by saying that I'm With You and The Getaway are both solid and deserve more credit than they get. It's called evolution. I personally don't want to hear dudes who are pushing 60 still playing thrashing punk anthems.
@@therocknrollmillennial535 Heh, I like Presence and Caress of Steel too. I suppose I've always tended to be more forgiving of an artist's "lesser" efforts...once I appreciate them I usually manage to find at least some greatness in most of what they do.
I think the main reason people hate OHM is really just that it is so much different than anything else they've done before or since. Navarro brought a totally different vibe to the band, and many fans just didn't want to hear that.
Dude, i started playing and learning music because of the Final Fantasy's OST. It's indeed a controversial opinion.
About the cassette player / tapedeck; I learnt guitar in 1979 aged 9, using the famous back then, but nowadays little-known technique of : PLAY STOP REW PLAY STOP REW : (repeat ad-nauseum until you got the riff / lick / chords down just right); this was the dinosaur guitar method of learning. Waaay back then, not long after Moses parted the Red Sea, we all played by ear & imho are better players for it, sure it wasn't easy but it trained one's musicality & developed our ears so it was worth it. Decades later I can still pick up songs by ear with no tab / sheet music / internet videos?

Sammy that was a well thought out and articulated answer on your playing ability. I salute you
"All the video games are making kids not learn music"
The only reason I ever play piano is to play one of the following:
> A theme from one of the Classic Sonic games
> "Minecraft" from... well, Minecraft
> The first bar of Megalovania (because who can resist doing that c'mon)
so like, point kinda disproven ig
My dad sat me down with a guitar when I was a teenager and probably the only reason I stuck with it is because I wanted to learn songs off Guitar Hero like Cliffs Of Dover and One. Obviously those are pretty difficult songs and thankfully I was stubborn enough to not give up until I learned them, and now I'm pursuing a career in music. Before guitar the only music I was interested in was pop and EDM.
Did you guys really say you haven't heard of the late Ron Asheton of The Stooges ?!?
...you mean that band that Juno loves? Lmao
Seriously, I understand if you love them, but... You can't expect everyone to know the names of every member of every punk rock band you like.
I can't even find a song of theirs that I recognize...
They were great, but Ron isn’t that big of an average influence tbh, there are some punk guitar players such as Johnny Ramone, Joe Strummer or Bernard Sumner that are way more influential than him
I’ve never heard of him
@@bronsoncarder2491 Nirvana for one, would sound radically different without the influence of Ron Asheton. As I understand it, the Stooges pioneered the punk genre and took a lot of shit doing it. The band had broken up for awhile before it even became that popular. Asheton's likely had some sort of influence on most every member of every punk rock band anyone likes.
@@TheProbewizard Yea, but they picked up their style from Ron. Heck, the Pistols started by playing Stooges covers, the Clash came to see the Pistols because they heard they were doing Stooges covers and Johnny Ramone says he took his approach to guitar from Ron. The case for Ron Asheton isn't so much that people were directly influenced by him, but that he was a huge influence on people who did in turn influence others and that influence wasn't limited to punk.
Perfect answer to the question at 9:10 ... and great chemistry on this vid. Really enjoyed it!
This is just great. Thank you both for doing what you do
I still wanna know what Les Paul standards should come with.
Also... I think Sean dislikes the John Mayer PRS
Pretty sure he said scratch plates, in which case I wholeheartedly disagree
Volutes?
A free Marshall half stack, of course.
THE LES PAUL STANDARD SHOULD COME WITH A WHAT SEAN!?!?!? SEEEAAAANNNN
This is a great video! Really enjoyed this one SG. More like this would be cool
love your freakin humor been binge watching your channel since last night
i love the beatles but i honestly understand why people can’t stand them
Doesn't matter how great their music is, all people hear is their most popular songs and think theyre too hipster to admit they like it.
My father hates beatles but i really like them
There’s a lot of good, innovate stuff in their catalogue that doesn’t get too much radio play
SirBarksALot disagree
@@brobamsmusic Queen were amazing, but the Beatles had a much wider variety of music and had more influence.
Lmao I love Sean's humor, that PRS rant killed me. Glad I'm not the only one who dislikes PRS guitars.
Am I allowed to ask why? I think they build great guitars and I really like them and I can't understand why you would dislike them so I would like to get some insight on your thoughts.
And he didn't really rant on PRS but about the Silversky and why it got built
he only said he has a problem with the silver sky, which is a strat copy, not that he has a problem with all PRS guitars
are you upset that someone makes better guitars than gibson and fender or something? and he only ranted about the silversky, which i can understand (not necessarily agree with, but i certainly understand)
I love prs, I hate the silver sky
pay extra for a strat got me like
Love the geetar samurai hoodie! Is there anything on the back? I'm thinking about ordering one.
Tony hawk pro skater introduced me to so much music
I disagree with "guitar doesn't get the ladies"... I'm a girl, I play guitar, and I would just die if a boy tried to pick me up with shredding
Here's a contriversial opinion
I think one direction is the most hardcore punk band
They're doing it 100% ironically.
They really do light up my world like nobody else
@@thBrilliantFool DAMN you're boring
HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT BIG TIME RUSH LIKE THAT
I mean, Sandy Beales is a good bassist.
You guys definitely need a podcast. I would 100% tune in.
Please make a Part 2!!
Me: looks at thumbnail
*sees someone says "i cant stand Beatles"*
Me: alright im boutta throw hands
The Beatles killed rock n roll.
Mikey Gabbard They fucking revolutionized it
Crisp they definitely revolutionized it. Still absolutely garbage.
@@crisp9929 just because they had a shitty song named Revolution doesn't mean they revolutionized anything.
Now, Wings, there's a fuckin' rock n roll band!
I felt personally attacked on the prs silver sky one as I own one :(
Why?
Maxon Mendel cuz I own one and the dude was dissing it
Good editing in this. The silver sky rant made me laugh
That was a good collab. You should do more.
Many people love the lofi quality of cassettes over the high quality wav format, just like many people love blues guitar over edm growl synth bass. It's about taste
I liked cassettes because they were easy to rewind and learn riffs by ear. Back in the cassette days we didn't have internet and ways to loop sections, then cd's came along as we had to repeat entire tracks.
I have grown to like digital music, but for a guitarist Cassettes were the best physical media form we ever had. the sound quality never bothered me in the slightest, now scratched CD's have bugged the hell out of me thousands of times.
Producer here: Tape provided a really nice crunchy tone to music that’s recorded super loud. Digital just sounds kinda sterile. So, yes. Tape sounds more “glued” and rich than digital recording. However, digital offers a lot more separation and clarity (especially in the super high and super low end), so in that case it’s really nice. A popular trend in production is to artificially apply tape distortion selectively across the song, which provides the richness and the clarity together.
The video game one is bull. It was a major inspiration to learn guitar in order to learn game themes
4:10 The Timeless album/cassette/whatever from Goldie sounded amazing in my car's cassette stereo system. You could feel the bass going from side to side in a huge blob, not just panning. Same with BT's Movement In Still Life. Sure, you could probably get that same feeling with CDs. Streaming, I doubt it. But there was nothing wrong with cassettes. Great and better sonic memories with them (of course, I was alone in my car quite a bit driving to and from LA to the OC)
I know this is an Old video but Mr. Sammy G.... you my friend are an awesome guitar player and teacher and overall mentor for the people feeling stuck in their craft.... keep doing what you do man!! 🤟🏼
Stevie T Samurai guitarist collab?
The Mars Volta was the best group formed since 70's ended.
Not sure if that counts though since it's just an inarguable statement of fact.
No.
Oof idk about that. The Mars Volta is definitely amazing though
I stand corrected, I guess if flat earthers can exist then "The Mars Volta isn't the best band"-ers can too. Reality is still reality though.
@@TheSquareOnes The reality is there's no quantifiable way that people can unanimously agree with "best band". That's idiotic
I learned music because of videogames. I just remember hearing a sick ost while playing games which gives alot of the music I like to play a sense of nostalgic context.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that last one!!! The perfect closer!!!
That one about Green Day was a dig and a half 😂😂😂 I do like the trio but in some sense it is true
Here’s mine:
The first solo from Comfortably Numb is better than the second.
@Ostentatious Orca yes! overall, The Wall just does not hold up (pun intended) when you're not a teenager
Dark Side Of The Moon is an overrated album, even if it is wonderful. it isn't "transcendental" like a lot of people tend to say it is. if Pink Floyd is gonna fall into that category, the album that's gonna do it is Animals.
@@spitgorge2021 Yes, but have you listened to it on psychadelics?
haha I legit want to hear the silver sky rant - can you upload the full 9-12 minutes?
On the technology one, so many up and coming or even relatively new artists on the charts have started by making music on a laptop or computer setup in a home studio. It made recording, mixing and mastering accessible to even the less wealthy people out there, I feel it's done more for music than anything else in the past 30 years.
Polyphia would like to have a word with you regarding trap Hihats
Fantastic vid, fellas. Sensei, you play awsum, StevieT is bad-ass, anyone that says blues is not that great doesn't understand it. I think most of these comments were given in curiosity of the reactions.
John564 Holloway middle aged men playing blues in guitar center 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
@Luke Robinett This. It's so overplayed that any time I hear somebody play a blues lick now I turn the song off.
Uh oh someone can't take other opinions and has to justify them to themselves
Ey im curious what people think about this
Do you have to understand something to know you like it?
@@jamescanjuggle if you like it then you like it and if you dont you don.t Don't pretend to be smarter than someone else just because you likrsomething they dont. Thats just being a narcissisistic dick
5:49 I’m 15 years old, and Prince and Carlos Santana has my favourite celebritys since I was a little kid. But that is mainly because of my dad
And Kmac is my biggest inspiration
About the whole thing with music and videogames. I play in an institution for young people, and there a certainly less conventional bands than there was a few years ago. On the other side, there are a lot of rap musicians who weren't there a few years ago. Playing an instrument is getting less common here, but making electronic tracks and rapping over them, is getting popular.
U and Robert Baker just uploaded at the exact same time , so of course I came here first!
They always upload at the same time along with "Music is Win"!!!
Guys I don't wanna act like I'm butthurt or anything, but I feel the need to point out that Stevie T did not join Dragonforce on tour because of mental health issues. Bringing that up out of context maybe isn't something "wrong", but that's not the kindest comment either.
He makes money from other people's mishaps while performing live in his reaction videos. Personally I don't feel too bad about bashing him a bit.
Full Silver Sky rant please!
Great team-up! 👏
Stevie T seems like a good player. Wouldn't want to be in a room with him though.
Totally agree, Stevie T is by far the most obnoxious, cringiest human being I have ever come across
The guitar community is outstanding compared to some gaming communities.
Surprisingly, you two have a very good chemistry! I wish more HUFO videos were with the two of you
Can you link to a full version of the silver sky rant? I'm genuinely curious.:)
