Boss GT1 - A Beginners Review

[@tonymediati8274]

No need to apologize mate , we all started off playing guitar as beginners, great review and keep up the good work ....rock on ✌️🤘

[@ElBeeEss]

How refreshing not to have an irritating self-indulgent shred-noodler showing off when all you wanna do is find out how the thing works! :o)

[@izzychesca3817]

Lol. Truth!

[@actsantarosa]

Word. I was thinking the same thing.

[@Thagy1973]

I was thinking that too!! Love this guy's humbleness.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Lmao indeed.

[@917orlando]

Yesss

[@Skoall69]

I have watched 1000's of reviews on guitar gear in my lifetime. This is one of the best I have ever seen. We need more reviews like this one out in the world. It's easy for pros to make anything sound good. Hard for us Amateurs or guys just starting out. This unit sounded great in your hands and that tells me alot.

[@photosidic2]

i agreeeeeee

[@endsleyjason]

Update! Lol I agree buddy, I really enjoyed the review because you said exactly the stuff I was wondering

[@seanantley1965]

Like many others commenting here, I’ve been playing 30+ years and have seen thousands of demo videos... this is by far one of the best I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you for the excellent video and keep at it man!!! Thank you!!!

[@jayyoungmusic919]

This is my community. So much support to him and for him. These are the guitar brothers and sisters I want

[@jeromeattia7481]

this has been the more useful video about the GT1 for a beginner like me. Tks

[@Room-dr9by]

Most effects pedal reviews are guys just showing off how good they can play. hardly ever explain anything, just sit there saying 'look what i can do'....really nice to see a review for a pedal that shows the pedal and not the guitarist

[@whitecoffee71]

I watched five other videos. You are the only one who showed the flippin' screen. Thank you!

[@Relicsun]

You are doing very good, no apologies, what you’re doing is really very helpful for me.

[@lrivales]

I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and this is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen. When I wanna hear tone, I don’t wanna hear shredding. If it sounds this good with a beginner player, I’m sure it sounds good with an experienced one and I mean this as a compliment. Keep it up!

[@BhaskarKuchimanchii]

Love the review! Far more informative and intuitive than many big production videos.

[@hirabrown4595]

Thanks that was very helpful just scored the boss gt1 today after checking reviews I'm beginner 2 well been off 4 yrs thanks Hira NZ

[@orvinslotten2607]

Finally - a demo that’s actually useful! I’ve probably watched a dozen videos about this pedal which basically featured the “Look how many notes I can play” guitarists. Thank you so much. Please, keep up the playing and please make more videos!

[@kevshort4611]

What a refreshing change , for someone to come on you tube and show me what Iam interested in without showing of there guitar skills or lack of , thanx for this bang on what I was looking for without the string bashing idiots. Keep this up and do some more , cheers 👍

[@adambishop5739]

Hey mate, I just wanted to say, for someone who has only been playing for 3months, you sound great! And, that looks like a bone fide USA Fender Strat to me, hell of a guitar to learn on. Even if its a Mexican Strat, still a hell of a guitar to learn on. I started on a classical guitar from Argos..and then upgraded to something called a Hohner...lol Keep going dude, you're gonna get there!

[@OswaldoLafee]

Excellent video. Keep up the good work, by now you must be the #1 expert on the pedal board and quite the intermediate player. I'm getting my unit tomorrow. Cheers mate

[@trentc7329]

This helped a lot. It was exactly what I needed to see to put in my order. Thanks for putting this up.

[@logananaya]

Hey Trent should I get this or just get a beginner pedal until I'm better at playing guitar?

[@dylankeighran7463]

Fantastic! exactly what I wanted to see that none of the other videos would show me. Keep up the good work!!!

[@Bewar3them00n]

Excellent stuff, just getting back into guitar myself, so having to relearn everything, and teach my stubborn fingers to move, and the gt-1 is a good place to start for me

[@StrainCheck420]

I been learning seriously now for just over 3 months and this is the effects i am buying as well :) Thank You for your great review and demonstrating the unit in a easy to follow way :)

[@Kevlar_soul]

Thanks for the info just got the boss and didn’t realized I could do that. Wish someone would have given me this tip when starting. Get a notebook and write out the songs you learn in the book. In this case you can even write in the settings for the boss. You will be amazed on how many songs you will have learned but forgot you know how to play. Funny thing is you hands remember them so even if you haven’t played them in years it can take min to pick a song back up that took you weeks to learn when u first start. Also be sure you learn two easy fun song for every project song. Project songs are the cool songs that take a long time to get right. They improve your skills but can be bad for moral of you can’t get them.

[@myownhammer]

This demo is so simple, honest and raw. I think this is what demos should be really like. Thanks man for your effort, now I know what I need to get next. I’m also a beginner and I really found this useful and informative :) You rock! All the best to you.

[@eazyrider6122]

That was a good homest review and thanks for showing what the case is made of. You covered more then i expected good on you mate.

[@jkro30a]

It's an old review by now but wanted to give you props for showing HOW the unit works and not just picking five metal patches and shredding. You made an excellent demo vid even though you knew your playing was beginner level--mad props! We can see a million guitar wankers on Instagram but it's the pedal we want to see. Well done.

[@craigmill5590]

A great review, thanks. And thanks also for showing how to create and new patch. Great stuff!

[@averageguitarist918]

I have a Fractal AXIII, just bought this GT-1 as a backup and for portability. Hoping it sounds good! Great job on the video!

[@actsantarosa]

I, as a consumer of (free) youtube entertainment and edumacation, demand, DEMAND a progress report update to you excellent start with guitar!

[@theamateurguitarist6187]

Your demand has been granted ;)

[@wardvogt1513]

Thanks for showing us how to use the GT-1 and where to find some programmable tones based on artists we love.

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Cool review. To the point with no biased thoughts or hype. Facts and honesty only. Great job dude!

[@mark954ful]

Thank u for ur help it was great info I’m a beginner as well this was so help to me

[@vincentryanborres]

Really great review/demo because you explain stuff so clearly. Keep it up and keep posting. Especially your progress on guitar.

[@j-capz1856]

Just purchased one for the same reason as you. Thanks for the very good overview..

[@markmaier9184]

Wow..great job... I just bought this based on its great sound..came home and was looking for pointers on how to get stared using it..of all the reviews I watched I got the most from your simple straightforward and very honest explanations thanks so much for spending the time to do this for the rest of us..well done!

[@satanas666reyna3]

Thanks for the tips barely got mine in today can wait to get started

[@churchguitarist]

Thank you for your review. Thinking of buying this unit and I have a VG88, GP10, GT5 and Pod X3 LIVE.

[@leonbenoiton3832]

Excellent review! I've just started out on electric guitar having played acoustic for a couple of years, and I have found the whole pedal situation a complete minefield. I then saw a recommendation of the Boss GT-1 then I came across your review - which was by far the best I'd seen as it was so easy to understand. So thanks so much, really helpful - I'm off now to splash some cash on one!

[@TherealWOJT3K]

watching it was worth it! Thanks for not being like the others who wouldn't explain a thing... all they freaking do is play,play,play and I am sick of them.

[@dansmith543]

Great review mate, I've been playing for 15years, I wish they had units like this when I just started out. They were crap compared to this. Anyway, agree with other's comments about other reviews with people just shredding away showing off. Guitar gear now is fantastic for beginners, keep practicing mate then you'll be reviewing the next multi effects unit and shredding away... 🤘

[@koolkat808hawaii]

You may be a beginner guitar pedal but you showed me more in your video than the last 5 I've watched. Thank you

[@JRTGarage]

Nice. I wish I had fender strat, blackstar amp and boss fx when I was starting to learn

[@jodysanders1111]

Absolutely great review. You're on the right track with your setup,nothing fancy,but awesome sound for what you have. You keep rocking and practicing,before too long you may have your own band.

[@mikenike1730]

Ive got an incredible ear for talent and believe me you are gonna be a rock star my brother keep on cranking....greeting from detroit michigan

[@Darlsc1]

Thank you for a great review! I also have been playing for about 3 months, and I think this is the perfect unit for me, decent sounding and not complicated. I appreciate you showing how to retrieve the online settings, so easy. Keep up the good work, I just subscribed to your channel 👍 and look forward to seeing you progress in your music journey.

[@kevinquinn6874]

I saw him download the presets online using his iPad, but didn’t see a cable from the iPad to the Boss unit, was it done with Bluetooth (wireless) ? Or can you interface the iPad with a cable? Also can you use Garage Band on the iPad to record into the program?

[@amaarquadri]

Just what I needed!

[@thomasgledhill4180]

Very good! I recently bought one also and am messing about with it at the moment but it is not so difficult to learn but you have shown me a few easy ways to put the patches in.

[@Hectonicheres]

Thanks for your review - I just bought one myself!

[@TheRijul13]

Really good review!! Honestly, the best one there is 🤘🔥🔥

[@DJdoodoo]

Thanks for the review.

[@philipp8185]

Top Review! Thank you!

[@raizoumisty4575]

You are awesome, man! Keep rocking!

[@christrudell7966]

Thanks for this. I just bought one.👍🇨🇦

[@nicolaspcoutinho5845]

Great review man! I bought one for myself too

[@thecrazypancakeshow2190]

well done mate! We need more stuff like this

[@chrisdavies9143]

Great video mate, really helpful review of the unit without all the self-indulgence you tend to see in these things. You play well for someone with only 3 months experience, keep it up

[@flemmingerichsen8621]

Thanks for this introduction. A lot of things made so much easier.... 👍👍

[@andrewhacker5141]

Great review, mate. More about the unit and less about you (not always the case in some reviews, unfortunately). Also, good on you for having the courage to put yourself out there when you're new to guitar. That takes some guts, mate - well done! :-)

[@Bumbles716]

BOSS should be paying you a commission on this ... thanks for an honest review ... don't need to see 10 min shred fest... ...thank you

[@alastairmccully]

thank you very much from Canada!

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Seems like great lil' unit! Thanks mate!

[@geobozz]

Dude's! You are awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@BenKrisfield]

I just got the GT 1. Like it a lot. Rock on!

[@anterokan]

Thanks for sharing this. I just ordered Boss GT1 and this helps a lot. Especially the presets at the bosstonecentral.com is so good to know. Just checked sounds one of my favorit guitarist SRV and cannot wait until next week.

[@SleepyBoBos]

learnt heaps. Cheers

[@shahershahin2331]

you're amazing !!!! thank you so much !!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@gunnerjenson]

Great video well done - yeah we all started somewhere.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Crazy I saw this. I just bought a MIM Special Edition run the gilmour looking one. On reverb. The guy just bought it and swapped the black pickguard to the white like yours. That's how mine looks now. I'll put the black back on one day. But I'm so wondering whether to get this gt1 or the zoom g3xn. So confused. Lol. Guess I cant wrong. But Boss is good. Keep uploading. Ill do the same. Lol

[@jolo1251]

good job mate love it i want it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@americafirst847]

Plus GNR uses a Gibson Les Paul not a single coil strat. RHCP uses a fender Strat so that sounded more like the song.

[@robertclarkguitar]

So...This is my second or third view. Lol. Now I have the MIM version of same guitar and the GT1. Hahaha. I bet you are playing very very well by now. You were doing great then.

[@rogerbarreto2846]

How do u like the unit so far?

[@N64Guy]

Wow for only 3 months ur really good I been playing for 9 years and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t as fast to learn but then again I never practiced as much back then as I do now

[@theamateurguitarist6187]

N64Guy thanks!

[@jphvnet]

Great video man, no profesional edition is what we expect from a real review.

[@locutusv1]

3 months! Not bad. At least an honest review.

[@DanAnderson_TheMaddestShredder]

Respect My Brother Thank You For Sharing

[@zenmaster1752]

Kepp it up! i am also a beginner and i like your video

[@batphink2655]

Excellent explanation of how to create and save your own sound patches! I bought the Boss Pocket GT and it has more or less same sounss in it BUT it's a bugger to connect to a DAW. How's the playing coming along? Cheers mate!

[@itaco8066]

thanks, great video

[@churchguitarist]

It would be interesting to know what you think of the Acoustic Guitar Simulator and the function which simulates a humbucker sound.

[@N64Guy]

Debating to get this or m5

[@mikehurley5052]

Pretty good for only 3 months.

[@RishavSaraf]

Profile a great review! From India. Keep practicing man. 😎

[@pauloesterleoesterle3818]

Great video my good man

[@lisan1010]

great review!

[@davidbarlow431]

Hopefully, as I write this you will now have been playing for 3 years 3 months! 😀

[@churchguitarist]

Sorry about this but can you check if you can get a bass guitar simulation out of it...?

[@jeromeattia7481]

well done, at least for once i believe what I hear!

[@donpedro8035]

Does anybody know if GT-1 has a build in metronome???

[@clydebermingham121]

Boy .... I should have gotten that one before I got the full blown out GT-100 🤗... Plus this gentleman says he’s only been playing for about 3 months , was it? But yet he’s not about 28k views .... Wow ... I’ve been imaging since I was 9 years old ..... I’d do well to even have even 1/4th of the amount of views that he’s got .. 🤗.. lol😆🤗.. Man .... should I recruit him as an agent or something? 🤗 I’d give him free lessons for life ... haha lol😆🤗 (I’m laughing ... but I mean it .... Free lessons for life zzz 🤗👍🏽... For exchange for some of his marketing abilities ... 🤗👍🏽

[@logananaya]

I really hope your still practicing and playing:)

[@theamateurguitarist6187]

I sure am. See my latest video's

[@logananaya]

@@theamateurguitarist6187 awesome glad to hear it you've got a new sub:)

[@zenmaster1752]

Got the same guitar but i changed the pick ups and i have the same amp. A Blackstar HT5. what should be the settings of the amp when using the Boss GT1 ?

[@theamateurguitarist6187]

zenmaster mine is a HT1R. Don’t use the amp, plug in though the line in socket, that way you bypass the amp and go straight to the speaker. This is of course if you’re using the amp emulations on the GT1.

[@yunegarcia]

Nice demo, bro.

[@nigil7386]

👍

[@0226lauren]

Bar chords at 3 months🤔 I don’t think so, been teaching for 15 years haven’t seen it yet!

[@theamateurguitarist6187]

0226lauren I’ll take that as a compliment. I’m about 18months in now. I had a lesson the other day with a new teacher and he told me my bar chords were Grade 5 standard that would typically take 4 years to get to. I’m sure I’m massively lacking in other areas though. Hotel California was the third or so proper song I attempted so was doing Bars from the start. I did spend quite a bit of time each day practicing them and chord changes altogether at the beginning. The bars in here probably weren’t actually that good though, I’m sure there are more than a few muted strings in there.

[@0226lauren]

You must practice 12 hours a day, no such thing as natural reincarnated guitarist. Takes some of my best students 8 months to a year just to change between bar chords and open chords and most of these students play other instruments and sight read music.

[@theamateurguitarist6187]

You make me wish I took it up at a younger age now!

[@Logibox0494]

@@0226lauren well that's probably because you teach children that have weak little hands. The reason people have trouble with bar chords is due to lack of finger strength

[@daysmo]

Not bad considering your main job is managing the England football team 🤪

[@neilpiper2807]

No work fella

[@portuguesebeer5069]

I think that before start making videos, you should first learn how to play. Cheers and good luck! 🍺
