    At 12:00 Sean says being insulted is his kink, so I feel authorized to say this. Sean's speech patterns are like an AI was told to generate a middle aged dude that talks like a valley girl. The up-speak, and the weird suffixing of "-uh" at the ends of sentences. I have a vague recollection of him saying he is from the Chicago area, as I am, but nobody, nobody there talks like Sean. All the same, he balances that annoyance with precisely the same amount of amusement.

    It's amusing that Sean said he'd rather never play music again than never listen to it, but then said he'd rather lose his hearing than his hands. So if he remained intact, he'd rather listen, but if it meant losing his hands, he'd never hear anything. That's some crazy nuance.

I could definitely do the holy grail guitar plus a backup of the same model, however.

    What part of (especially) having a beginner play open bar chords on this thing is going to help them when they get something with strings? Imagine trying to do that first thing,… learning bar chords (particularly getting to the point I had the muscles to do it) took longer than learning anything else. I don’t remember when I mastered anything but I won’t forget when I could finally play bar chords. That was a day I’ll never forget. Granted I learned on an acoustic but I’d assume learning on an electric isn’t much different, even if significantly less force is required.

    I think that since I play solo fingerstyle on electric I definitely would miss the high E. Even without a bass player the low E is used occassionaly for "special" effect. But the high E is always either a part of the melody or rhythmic accent. It's also a necessary part of my blues lead playing.
