Great content but can you turn off the words at the bottom. So distracting I can't concentrate on what Andy is saying. I love your channel and I've learned so much from you and I really hate to be picky but it is very distracting. Thank you for listening.
It's funny snobs think $500 is cheap. To a lot of people $500 is a paycheck. You can have a good gigable guitar for $500. $4000-$5000 on a Gibson is ignorant as hell whether you have money or not.
@dareel. It's not a matter of being a snob, guitars cost from like $59 to several thousand so in the big picture a $500 guitar is on the cheaper side of the range available. While $500 dollars may be a lot of money to many people expecting everything to have a price tag so low that anyone should be able to buy any instrument with pocket change is just a ridiculous way to look at the situation. Having to save up for a time to make an important purchase an like an instrument isn't unreasonable. Rather than looking at expensive guitars and being offended by them and those who make them maybe we should instead be appreciating that there are also many other options available to us. A finely crafted instrument made in the U.S. where everything from labor to overhead pushes the price up to the point that you are uncomfortable with it isn't the problem.... The problem is how you chose to look at things which is though the lens of people who want you to be angry about stuff like this. Side note: I just bought a really cool baritone Danelectro for $300 as I have been wanting such an instrument for years now and having just sold off my entire vinyl record collection that I built over the last three plus decades I decided to finally purchase such a thing. I found a very good deal on this instrument but was in such a bad shape I couldn't even determine its actual functional condition without doing some work on it.. The Dano had one broken string and the other five were so corroded and rotted that they must have been the original strings from 20+ years ago. I polished the frets, they were green with dirt and corrosion but beautiful underneath that. I drilled the tuner post out to take a Bass VI gauge low E string and now I have a very cool Fender VI type instrument that I have wanted for years. Am I offended that a vintage 60s Fender VI costs like 20X or more than my Dano? No, of course not. Those are rare vintage instruments and that high price tag is determined by both players and collectors. We have many guitar options available to us and we also have the "option" of not being offended that expensive things are expensive. If you work on that second point there you just might find yourself being a happier person who isn't going around calling people snobs when they have acknowledged the simple fact that they own a nice playing $500 guitar but call it a "cheap" guitar because in the big scheme of things it actually is.
Kind of misleading. Practicing slow doesn’t make you faster. It makes you accurate. You increase the speed slowly as you are able to. Fast is great unless it’s sloppy. No one hears the speed. They just hear slop.

I like how you do these interviews, just asking useful questions and letting them talk with no added pointless chitchat.
Thanks for that!
@@lucienne66 Exactly!!
Andy is the best.
So good!
@3:00 - "Someone spills a beer on your peddleboard... "

Albert Lee so good
When I’m playing, I’m usually within one of the 5 CAGED shapes; and I’m thinking the name of the interval like “3” or “flat 7”or “sharp 4”.
That can work. Ideally you remove the shape barrier and just see them as continuous patterns.

Whoops. I actually meant to upload the newly updated one and not sure how this happened. Oh well. Sorry. It’s too late now.
just drag the browser window to the bottom of your screen to cover the words in the video.
No two guitar instructors have the same approach that's really the problem with you tube
Should study with someone legit who can coach you.

Not misleading whatsoever. Listen to the interview and listen to what he says. Learn to UA-cam. Thanks.
