I just spotted a link to this viseo lesson at another forum and just had to drop it over here for everybody to enjoy. The tuning method and the fact he uses a USB cable to plug in really struck me as funny. I was glad to be validated when the guy said that acoustic guitars are still OK....."at least to start with." It's just a funny video. Regards, Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars |

Kevin, I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes when he started talking about the tremelo arm. He says he doesn't know what it is and should just take it off because you really have no need for one! Thanks for sharing, a great way to end a Friday with a laugh! Tracy |

I'm glad I didnt have to pay for that lesson by the way, I didnt know the guitar was in tune when all of the knobs were in line with each other. Theat might explain some of my intonation problems??

I wish I'd had this lesson when I first started playing. He makes tuning sooooo much easier. (I hope he comes out with some videos on building. Those would be real helpful.) Steve |

wow - this guy not only got his tuner for 50 bucks instead of 55 like we all paid, but he's seen a 32 fret guitar... he's not just advanced, he's special. |

I just watched this short clip and was happy to understand where it all started for Ash. It's pretty common among player that they play a guitar for the first time and are able to "tear it up" with no formal or official training. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXwe8p1Xa6Y&feature=related Regards, Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars |

Neither one of those links work. It keeps saying that the requested video couldnt be found? He must have got too many hits and they had to shut down the video to save their servers |

As I've often said, too many frets just get in the way. 4 is all you need, the others are just trouble. I like decorating dots too, they really make the guitar look cool. I've been using the lining up the knobs method for years, trouble is, everybody I play with is out of tune, they just don't get it. Keep it simple, me and Ash, we've got it figured out.

"you won't rally use anything from 4 onward so if you have a four fret guitar your set." "and these, those little color things" (referring to the position markers) "They are decoration I guess. They make a guitar look pretty and really fancy like." "This is the on and off switch" (moving the pickup switch) This is where you plug in your USB cable, and it goes to the amplifier and makes Amplifiic noises" "Uhh this, I don't, I've never used this and you probably will never use this" (whilst spinning the whammy bar in circles) While comparing an acoustic to an electric "The most major [difference] will be a big hole that generates the sound in an acoustic one. umm don't worry an acoustic one is still good. Yeah they're fine. They're fine to start with. It's OK. " ...and wow.. can't even begin to describe the tuning portion... wow.. I loved it. All these years I've been tuning my guitar wrong....Thanks for the laugh Kevin. |

Can anyone get the link to work for the second video. You'll all get a kick out of the story about how Ash got started playing guitar....especially the bit about pressing up against the window and "they even threw in a couple of picks for free." Heres the URL. I didn't preview my post to see if the link I'd posted worked like I should have and was told to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXwe8plXa6Y Thanks and enjoy "The Journey", Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars |
