      Shite comes in all scales, buddy. There’s plenty of trite, uninspired, soulless music that isn’t based on the pentatonic scale. Arguably, his strongest, most impressive playing was his rendition of “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”-which revolves around the mixolydian and, drum roll, minor pentatonic scale. Shite?

      I'd recommend checking out G&L guitars. I'm 48 and picked up the guitar again after decades of not playing. It's been a year and I now have two G&Ls. A Comanche and a Fallout, both tribute series. But if you want to spend more, their US Fullerton line is top notch too. Also, more Fender than Fender. 😎👍

    There's so many things to love about these videos. But my favorite things about them are
    1) Nathaniel's version of such and such song. When he plays a full tune on a guitar you know he really likes it. And these versions create such a buzz in the guitar space, people saying did you hear Nathaniel's version of whatever. It's like he's releasing a single or cover of the song.
    2) that Amp. My god it makes all the guitars sound awesome. He doesn't even touch it really or maybe it's edited out. Just seems to make all these guitars have singing highs, crunch and smooth tones all in one.
    Great stuff as usual.

    I absolutely love my CV Tele. Mine is a CV 50’s in White Blonde ( looks like Mary Kaye ). It weighs in at 7.52 lbs, and resonates louder acoustically, than almost all of the high end guitars I’ve played at my local shops. The QC on it was really solid, although I’ve since done work to dress the frets, roll the fingerboard edges, polish the frets, sand down the back of the neck, and replaced the saddles with GOTOH compensated brass. The pick ups leave a bit to be desired, and I’m looking to replace them with Custom Shop Nocasters, since I have no interest in selling it, and don’t care about the “Squier” branded headstock. I think it’s one of the greatest underpriced guitars on the market. It feels and sounds way better than my 2021 MIM Strat.

    The tele "all important" is middle, to me always. To me its the first tone I check when I pick one up. If it's not right, I don't continue. That preorder at 24:11 looks and sounds stunning.

    NAT. IS. THE. BEST. Anybody who plays like that and has a heart as big as his head is the truest bluesman one can ever be. He doesn’t ever need to be anywhere but where he is to make the world a better place.

      I've only been once--made a pilgrimage last summer on a rare trip to Chicago--and can confirm. Everyone was very nice to me, even though I'm not a skilled player, and even though I was just browsing. It's rare to go to a shop and just be allowed to noodle on several guitars each worth thousands of bucks. One of these days I will find a way to go back and actually drop some cash.

    Such a perfect video! You do well representing CME. I have kept telling myself that I would not pay more than $1200 for a guitar; I just need to learn to play like you do to sound better. You proved me right. It might take me a long time to get there if ever. Thanks and please keep delivering these excellent demos.

    Gotta say, the pickups on the PRS sounded full-bodied and balanced. Potential to be very versatile. Also loved the Epiphone SG. Seems like a great slab of electric guitar for the price. Assessing sound on UA-cam seems absurd, BUT the differences DO come through. The Harmony too (maybe for players who have numerous tools to do certain things), or for someone who could get hooked on its unusual tonal palette as his/her/X' own special thing.
