My guitar is just a pickguard. | GAS Therapy #49 

The guitar community will have reached true enlightenment when we can all just admit that we buy things simply because they look cool. There doesn't need to be any further justification.

Your guitar is just a pickguard but you don’t even use a pick. Might get rid of that as well then.🤔

Fender guitars were built with economy in mind and used whatever wood was available cheap and reliable. Now those vintage guitars are glorified due to their sound. The same can be said of most vintage instruments and builders. TonewoodTM is a result of yet another successful marketing camping to make guitar players doubt their instruments and buy something else.

Nice playing! I get so annoyed when reviewers of the Traveler’s guitar treat them only as “travel guitars” and don’t give any pros and cons to them just as guitars generally. So lightweight, they seem perfect for those of us who don’t want to hurt our backs any further. I’m looking forward to trying one out.

I remember watching a Video where a guy uses a machine to play the guitar the exact same way every time, then he does rhings like swap out the wood, neck, or get rid of everything but the strings and pickup entirely. Pretty sure the conclusion was "only the strings and pickup matter".

We want a video on push 3 for free :D

I bought and returned one of these on sale. It definitely takes some getting used to, and isnt for everyone. But if you adjust your arm and wrist, its unexpectedly good like any other Strat. For me, for my arm and wrist positions when standing and sitting, I just couldnt get it comfortable with a pick. Finger picking was the most comfortable.

Norwegian Wood was a very good book :)

When play pm speaks, some are annoyed. When play pm plays, some are enjoyed. The power of music for the win. Cheers.

I bought a Donner USB C audio interface just to use this app.

Nice play . BTW I dont see list of your earphone in your gear`s list . Any recommendation for start?

Where can I find this guitar? It doesn’t seem to be on Thomann anymore.

does the lack of body affect comfort while playing?

Nice shirt ! I wept upon completing that novel , it was too relatable

some relaxing chord progressions

what pickups are you using?

Still waiting for guitar distortion :)

I think I read in one of your video descriptions that you use the PreSonus AudioBox GO. Seemed to be working pretty well for you so I picked one up. Did you have any trouble with setup? For some reason, mine works fine on GarageBand for iOS. It also works with the MacOS DAW that comes with the interface. But I can't get any sound out of channel 2 on GarageBand for MacOS. And on channel 1 it's quiet, crackly, and it goes in and out. I've tried all the normal things with no luck. Thought I'd see if you'd had any issues and been able to figure them out before I returned it. Either way, great job with the channel!

This is the channel I needed

Can you do a GAS therapy on the new Ableton Push 3 standalone. This thing is freakin $2000 and I don’t seem to find any reason to buy it.

Really nice playing mate.

Nice!

In order to start creating, you really don't need anything other than a laptop + an inexpensive instrument (or even without it, hello plugins), but if we're talking about truth and sound, unfortunately, you are wrong. Yes, the pickups play a very big role in the sound of the electric guitar, but the quality of the rest of the components, the wood - its breed and age (dryness) play an equally important role - all these things have a huge impact on the resonance of the instrument and as a result you get a fatter, brighter and transparent sound . This greatly improves the dynamic properties when playing the instrument, it allows for better articulation, you can mumble or whisper as well as moan and scream on such an instrument! I know this from personal experience as I've upgradet more than one of my own guitars, electric guitars and basses... If it was that simple and depended only on the pickups, I wouldn't do it, I'm too lazy.. but a natural interest and desire to explore the sound and properties of his instrument gave very good results.
