Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤😊

Good plating but the cell phone recording just doesn't cut it. No idea what the pedal or your guitar sounds like.

I actually create my own scales all the time because I only know a few proper ones and I spend the rest of my time just finding what sounds good, basically trial and error. The only problem is I have issues remembering what I am playing and that includes even if I record myself 😂.

I'd like to have a Stratocaster like that with a maple fretboard and clear pickguard.

Great demo of this pedal. Most demos start with the bass at noon because they dont know how it works and it ruins the whole video.

Thank you! So simple. Well explained.

Killer stuff dude! 💪🎸

Thanks for sharing...more like this would be great!!

Saw shirt:subscribed Nice material Thx

The last chord in the quick change of the 3rd section of the song which starts in the C Maj 7 is shown in the books as a form of B13 flat9 but I never liked the voicing so I sub'd an Am flat 5 in this position. The end of the cycle of the progression ends with a version of B7 #9 to B7 flat 9. You can sub an F#13 - F13. But regardless, enjoy. Of course there are a few alterations you can use or chord substitutions, because honestly, the song has been done quite a bit by many, many guitarists through the years. So, expand upon the progression a bit if you like.

Very useful tips. Thanks!

the point of this is to use the notes outside the normal ordinary 1,3,5 chord structures by targeting those notes instead of simply following a scale. Even if the notes aren't being used in the chords, targeting the 6, flat 5, flat 9, sharp 9, 4th, etc and emphasizing on those notes outside the norm will definitely add some substance and color to your playing.

I like my guy. Clean playing. Very clean.

Nice demonstration. Excellent guitar. Nice tone. I own a couple Epi’s myself!

Nice, thanks a lot, always good to learn from experience.

VERY GOOD

This guitar sounds more blues oriented than say country or beatles.. im still debating if i should get this or pure acoustic dreadnought

A friend of mine has this one. I must admit that i was impressed by the sound and playability of it, regardless of the price. Compared to my most expensive guitar, a Guild JF55 which costs four times as much, I'd say that I would not be able to tell that this is a much less costly instrument. Great guitar. No compromise. Just great. There is nothing more to be said, except that it has to have new strings on to fully appreciate it, which goes for every guitar.

Love it want one

I just picked up the new inspired by Gibson Hummingbird. Love it. Amazing guitar for under 1k. Epiphone are really knocking out the 500-1000 market.

They don’t see to make these any more, (March 2021), the DR’s that is, they do the “Gibson inspired “... which I think is a shame because if I want a Gibson inspired guitar I’m gonna buy a Gibson! (Which I have). But really like the look of the DR with cut-out dred and musical headstock. I just came across a DR400(MCE?) like new on eBay so bought it. Can’t wait! Same as 500 but satin and less fancy fretboard markers. Anyway thanks for review, looks and sounds great!

I'm an old fart and can therefore afford any guitar I want (it's been a fun journey since my first unplayable $10 Sears acoustic when I was 11 y/o). I have high end Martins, Fenders, Gibsons, Larivees - basically all the premium quality guitars. I was on a project in New Orleans and picked one of these up at Guitar Center when I was in the "climate controlled" room looking to buy an expensive Taylor. I could not believe my fingers and ears when I played this thing. It was almost set up perfectly from the first note. As good as it sounds and plays, it has become my go to acoustic. I can throw it in my truck and not worry about it, and because it checks all the boxes I tend to play it a lot, which makes it sound even better with time. This guitar is a relatively unknown gem. If you don't have one, get one.

The new Indonesian made all solid Frontier and Excellente Masterbilt's are killer.

great playing! heading to GC in the morning.

Think I'll get one, great playing! thanks for the review

This guitar in action - loving it! Used it for many live shows! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHfEamVtZdyarcU

love your playing ... sounds like a mix of Greg Lake and John Bonjovi ... convinced me to buy that guitar

I have been playing 50 years and never heard the term "Pleked" can someone enlighten me please? I am about to purchase this very guitar. Thanks

what gauge dou you use?

Thanks for the review!I have a small hand,how convenient the neck of this guitar is,,for a small hand?!

Does the shadow system work well and last without problems cause my music store only has the 500 with the Fishman .

I play an Eiphone DR400 in the BG genre (45 years +) so pickups are Machts Nicht to me. When a non amped BG plays, what you hear is what you'll get!!! I belong to the S W BG Club. Each month we have a jam session. Some players playing Hi End Martins, Collings DM1s nd even a 67 Yamaha FG180 "Red Label" guitar. My 400's,a nd another members Epiphone DR500 hold their own!!!

I don't know anything about guitars but I liked your review --I like your playing, too

Awesome play and great sounding guitar. Can you please elaborate more on the built quality and durability. Thanks

FYI. I always set my string action to 2mm above the fretbord at the 12th fret. I can barely slide my 2mm Blue Chip pick beween the strings and fretboard.

I own the DR400 Masterbilt . I wouldn't kick either 400 or 500 out of a gig or jam sessiom.

This is a DR500MCE, NOT a DR500. There is a BIG difference between the two. Nice review, and nice, down to earth explanations. Thank you!! I own this guitar, and use Elixir Polyweb light strings - really brings out the great tone and playability of this fine guitar!

I just received mine yesterday. Love it! Nice review and playing

I've watched tons of guitar reviews. Your video is on point and you should do more of these. Good down to earth conversation, felt like I was right there with you. I subspribed and hope to see more of your work. All the best!

Hy ! What kind of strings have you on guitar ? And you play with the amp or not ?? Thanks !

Maybe my 82 year old ears cant hear anymore, but this 500 sounds a bit brighter than the 400 which BTW, I ordered yesterday. Im used to playing a pals D35 Martin. He plays anything with strings well! But he cant play 5 string banjo and the D35 at the same time. Just hope the 400 is as good as the videos on You Tube.One video maker said the 400's are set up in Calif?

I really like this guitar and I think it will be my next one. I wonder though if it could sound even better without the heavy gloss finish it comes with.

I bought one and love it I tested out many guitars in Sweet water sound showroom but this guitar sound much better than high price guitar they have in the showroom it just makes you wanna keep playing that's a good guitar, it's cool that you go to Sweet water sound they have guitars from $250 to $5000 in the showroom and you just try them all out you'll know that the price tags it doesn't matter it matters if the guitar that you play makes you fall in love with it, that's the guitar you wanna have.

This guitar has been amazing. Ive literally done nothing besides change the strings. The bow was set to my liking and hasnt moved as of yet. It only seems to sound better week after week.

I play mine with elixir polyweb strings strenght: 10....a great guitar!!!!

I'm a beginner....just bought the dr 400, would love to know the chords your using. Great video! Thanks.

Nice demo and explanation man! It sounds amazing. I make guitar videos on my channel! Check them out sometime :) Cheers -Jose
