The other day, someone had a *”quit looking at my pedals, and go meet people”* sticker on their board. Never felt so personally attacked, yet so humored.
Kinda lame to be honest
“Don’t tell me what to do”
lmao😂
I agree on this one. But they can tell the difference if you're out of tune or you're having an off night and that can happen with any gear you have.😊
If Springsteen, grabbed an off the rack 399.00 Squier Tele and played his regular show in a mix with seven musicians in front of a screaming arena, not a single person will be able to hear a difference…
I've seen many an awesome player bring a Squire on stage. See Allman Brothers Jack Pearson, the cheaper the Squier, the more he loves them. Seriously check out some of his youtube stuff, he proves it aint the gear it's the player and the hands.
Pearson is outstanding!
@@marions.120 you bet bro. He's so cool, so talented,and so humble it's just amazing. I love the guy. He's a breath of common sense and coolness at the same time. Cheers my friend.
The most Strat sounding Strat… the affinity. Give it a shot. Be open minded and you might see what I mean
That's because he barely plays
I agree. I think the connection between musicians and their instruments is something that’s really hard to pin down. You can buy an expensive guitar and never gel with it, you can buy a cheap guitar and sometimes something magic happens. Who knows why things are the way they are. It never makes any sense other than how you feel when you play.
That analogy is spot on 💯💯💯💯
You can’t say that to the anti-relic people! They can see your guitar “doesn’t have a story” from a mile away!
A lot of guitar players in the audience will judge the artist based on their gear.
I will.
This is very true, but to be honest, it’s much more important to impress the Normies than it is to impress other musicians. Guitarists especially can be pretentious as fuck.
I think Phil should start a cooking channel, too - Know Your Kitchen Gear 😂
Gear is either good or it's not good. Price doesn't necessarily correlate with quality.
There exists inexpensive gear that play and sound great, and there exists expensive gear that do not play and sound that great.
It's up to the player to know the difference.
High price doesn't always equal good, or that you'll like it.
Low price doesn't always equal bad, or low quality.
In all cases judge with your ears, not with your pocketbook or your ego.
Mike, awesome comment regarding price/quality. I 100% agree with you. Noce to see common sense and good logic every so often in guitartube comments. Cheers
@@user-fv5yo5fi5c I appreciate that, thank you for your kind words.
A Squire into a Bugera! Nice 😁🎸🐛📦
Hey....I like my Bugera!!!
Tale as old as time
I’m not so sure that a musicians job is to make bad gear sound good. Another perspective is that a musicians job is to choose gear that allows them to play their best and deliver a great performance. I agree that each player has their own needs when it comes to what gear is within acceptable tolerances. I think it has more to do with familiarity than it does things like cost or quality. In that sense, the gear doesn’t matter to the audience as long as it doesn’t affect the performers ability to perform. I completely agree that it’s the musicians responsibility to figure that out and the audience isn’t supposed to be involved in that process.
I've played open mic style gigs with dozens of people taking their turns as (vox, axe 1, axe 2, bass, drum) and everyone rocked the joint with gear ranging from entry level Squiers to ESP.
The chef analogy is SO good!
I play my Harley Benton into my Dumble with my Klon and Behringer reverb 😂
Winning comment of the year and it's only April. LOL Well done bro
@@user-fv5yo5fi5c 🤣.
The guitar is what my hands are on so the way it plays, and feels is most important to perform at my best. The average audience doesn’t know or care what your rig is, they want you to play good songs, play them well and put on a good show.
Saw Devo and they had no guitar gear on stage. I think they run Axe FX in the back, sounded great though.
So, so true. I play a Squier CV having a Fender. For my audience which consists of one person only does not now, care a.s.o.. but if she likes the music that matters for me. I have a Fender Hendrix just for emotional reason but like the CV more also because of emotion. I sold my defect Bullet sadly, my first electric guitar and even defect to a price I did not expect the hight he paid. And I get my very last pedal in a few hours. It‘s 2 a.m. now where I live. This brings all to an end and it brings it to the point what bullshit I did with all my gear. it is a Mosky clone and some parody from JHS to the real Klon was the reason. The video was funny but made for me a lot of sense retrospective.
The only gear that matters for audience is Evertune to keep yourself in tune at all times, not having to check tuning between songs and interact with the audience at all times without pause :D
Most gigs, the audience doesn’t care what you’re using but once in a while, I’ve had audience members come up to me and ask me about a certain Guitar. As long as it sounds good, that’s all that matters.
That audience you refer to is also a musician.
Non musician audience does not care.
However, as a drummer I knew used to say, an audience listens with their eyes, so that red Gibson ES335 will indeed make an impression with the audience is my guess.
people never judge based on price, only copies and counterfiet.
Gear heads/ snobs can tell sometimes given enough visual cues lol. The average audience no clue and don’t care
Ever seen Jason Isbell? Half the fun (for me) is all the gear on stage and different amazing guitars on every song. But you’re right, my non-musician wife did not care about that and I’m sure it is way more fun for Jason and the band to have the gear to play every night than it is for me to see and hear it.
Thanks for this, Phil. I have multiple guitars, and have had many others that I sold or traded away. They have all been low-end instruments, and I don't apologize for that. Sometimes, I spend more on upgrades than I do on the guitar. Other times, I haven't touched the stock setup from the factory. I don't care what the pedigree of the guitar, or the amp, or the pedal(s) might be. If it sounds good to me, that's all that counts.
My ideal gear review channel would have a live band. They would play the same passages from a song, but the guitarist would change out guitars or pedals but EVERYTHING else would be the same. Would most people really be able to tell the difference? Playing something by itself in a silent room is one thing, but will that Squier or that Fender REALLY sound that different in that setting?? I wonder......
I’m connected to the paint job on every guitar I own
Most, not all, but most tone comes from your fingers!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
The speaker.
Amen and Amen!
Is thats why the ESP MX250 is going for 10,000 dollars
The audience cannot tell between the finest vintage plexi Marshall amp and a Chinese digital model of the same amp. The good thing is it all comes down to your fingers and not the price of the instrument
Neither can most musicians :D
To many people listen with their eyes .if it doesn’t say fender or Gibson they talk crap .i can play killer blues with my my classic vibe
Love my Squire ❤❤❤ but you can't have my boss multi effects. But anything with strings so yeah yr right on.
How come no one who owns a SQUIER knows how to spell SQUIER???
@@44scoots good catch. Probably cause we never even look past the Strata caster on the head and we ain't rich n smart like them big ol' Fender fellers
Say what you want at the end of the day it's strings over wood thru a speaker....the average listener could care less if it's a Gibson, PRS, whatever. They aren't giving 2 shots about your gear just the music that comes out of it
What’s an audience?
A crappy mechanic with amazing tools will still do a crappy job... A great mechanic with crappy tools will still do a very good job... The best is to have a great mechanic with great tools. Simple.
I've never agreed with you more.
