[@FreshTechCo]

Thank-you for taking the time to do the English subtitles! Best review I've seen so far on this system.

[@EquinoxParadox91]

What you're playing at the start is awesome.

[@Corilo91]

This is the BEST demonstration of the system, and also shows AMAZING musical skills and taste.

[@stormyandcold]

Love your playing style. Very refreshing runs, scales and technique there without relying on shred. Nice sounds from your setup. 5*

[@williamindragunawan]

Damn dude, that's really tasty licks right there, tasty indeed. The fusion-y runs sounds so good with the electric piano sound, I love it!

[@ivonsmith3095]

Absolutely brilliant demo of this great technology, Jack! and beautiful skilled soulful playing as always mate! See you again in Malaysia next time youre over here!

[@Niteblub]

You playing straight to the heart! so freaking good! More fusion stuff please!

[@doulos737]

You can disregard my previous comment as I entered it before you gave your detailed explanation of your guitar customizations... Awesome, dude! You're like Tom Shultz of Boston who was a top notch engineer and cusomized his famous Boston Sound with his own guitar products he engineered, etc. Way to go, dude! Thanks! :)

[@anicolai1]

You can tell when a musician is playing for the right reasons, like this guy.

[@GnatManAllinCoIronWorks]

what a fantastic system,,and you are perfect to show off all it's wonderful attributes. Thank you

[@CthulhuOO7]

Jack . . .you can play. Just wow.

[@jbpverdan]

Brilhante?..... Gênio dos Gênios da Guitarra. Impressionante.!

[@BlackAdderLXX]

Amazing playing. Amazing sounds. Thanks for posting.

[@sarahvlo]

Awesome demo.

[@moinulislamshajib6165]

Defined clarity,resonance and vibe.

[@fwberg1]

love your playing...

[@Gaaach]

Amazing man! Very nice demo, superb guitar skills too. Thanks!

[@kesiktash]

Wish I could express the most positive in your language. In the tongue of music: CHEERS!

[@tapilaha]

awesome playing, very smooth

[@nmda9578]

Now the most valuable Squier in the world! lol! Amazing playing, as always, Jack :)

[@nmda9578]

Just realized this was over 7 years ago. Great job anyways! haha!

[@thegreatgarry]

great demo .... I love the Giant Steps part there... ! 5:14

[@RockBeachGuitars1]

Absolutely astonishing!!!

[@misterias]

I have installed the acoustiphonic on two of my guitars. In one of them, with EMG active pickups, the acoustiphonic sounds amazing. In the another with dimarzio passive pickups I have ground sound problems and the selector switch does not work properly because I can hear my magnetic sound on the PA system...do you have some idea with this problem??

[@mullacy2]

awesome technique!! and a great review of some very cool gear. interesting that there seems to be very little lag or mistracking with the gi-20

[@caulinrocker1]

can you post a tutorial ... some of those scales you do are very interesting

[@ilovetolisten1946]

jack you're my idol.. i watched all of your vids.. thanks man.. keep rocking...

[@espectaculardavidrcq]

I LOVE YOU MIUSIC!!!

[@Colesmith2487]

Great playing man.

[@popsss127]

man!!thats some nice melody..

[@Niteblub]

Cant stop listen to this, its sooo good! love it!

[@musicwithmilin]

Super playing - are you playing to your own composition, or is it all improvisation?

[@TopBear]

เพลงนี้ เจ๋งมากครับ ทางคอร์ด เมโลดี้ สุดยอด เพราะดี ชอบมากเวลาได้ยิน เพลงบรรเลงแบบนี้

[@denzelpruett3931]

Jack, do you still use this setup today for synth-sounds? Or have you upgraded to something different over the years? This is very inspiring!

[@straydogstrut1464]

@johnbrianna481: Squire. Probably a Squire Standard Strat with Jack's own modifications and customizations.

[@SebastianPersini]

Great playing bro, love the music

[@realitywakeupslap]

Beautifıl playing Jack..

[@marupengod]

@xhyosukx This looks like a classic vibe one, golden logo, either that or a MIJ squier which is super awesome.

[@rodneykofler644]

How much is the Ghost System, and how much and where to get it installed?

[@potaylo]

When you play the acoustic sound there is a very low frequency sound also. (4:10) Is that the way it always is? That would be a deal breaker for me.

[@sarinapaparone]

Just brilliant!

[@wiganlad2006]

It's not like any other Squier. It's a Classic Vibe which is top notch quality, Same made woods as used in Fender Mexican strats

[@darkcashyz]

@intermediate007 I think you can judge its precision from what he plays and see if it's true or not. :)

[@zigzaghookie]

How do you get your acoustiphonic to sound like an actual acoustic?? I have the excact same system and it doesn't sound as good as this. Do I need to get a pedal to model it?

[@GuillermoSmyser]

The hexpander would be really cool for covering (or making) any sort of Dream Theater type Guitar/Keyboard unison runs, at least until you needed the harmony parts.

[@FRANKCHRONICLE135]

What is the name of the track he is playing over?

[@PabloRomero1991]

you are great at guitar wow

[@pobinr]

Nice playing & Lovely sound. Is that electric PU blended with Graphtec acoustic PU 7 mins in? What module are you using to convert hex PU signal to midi to synth sounds? Thanks

[@denzelpruett3931]

The Roland GI-20

[@mojopinish]

You might not reply (it's an old video), but can you get good nylon acoustic sounds out of this system?

[@rollingcarbon]

Really awesome Jack! Have you always used a GI-20 with the Hexpander? Wondering how it compares to an Axon AX 100?

[@rogerfelez7478]

Tom Kowalski the Axon has a better pich detection technology called Neural Net, there's almost no latency but you have to adjust the pickup settings very carefully to avoid ghost notes

[@ConspireToConspire]

very tasteful playing.

[@celestialmelt]

can you connect teh output of the hexpander to go through your pedalboard?

[@GermanLehmann98]

Does anybody know if Jack changed the neck on his Squier Classic Vibe 60? I mean, his guitar has 22 frets, and the Classic Vibe are supossed to have 21.

[@doulos737]

Hey, did you get your guitars modified like Joe Satriani to get increased sustain? I notice the extra switches like Satch has... :)

[@Ouiisstory]

@TrevorWilsonHimself He using red dunlop jazz 3.

[@GraphTechGuitarLabs]

Great video! We'd like to link this to our blog!

[@higher99]

อุปกรณ์เซทอัพนี่ นี่ราคา ชุดละเท่าไหร่เหรอครับ ในไทย มีช่างไหนรับติดตั้งมั้งอ่ะครับ ? ??

[@Fushpud]

@StrayDogStrut It's actually spelled "squier" :)

[@mr.c7522]

killer playing

[@davpat2112]

K̄hxbkhuṇ māk! Excellent video, thank you very much!

[@abac401]

Thank for reviews Love your music

[@mr.c7522]

did you atend school in rayong?

[@jasonadz]

i love it!

[@mindcollon]

อาจารย์แจ็คครับ ถ้าผมอยากจะทำบ้าง ราคาเท่าไหร่อ่ะครับ ทั้งหมดเลยอ่ะ ขอบคุณครับ

[@TheMapa729]

Totally awesome... but why did you put all this gear into a Squire?!

[@polaris20]

Crosstalk between saddles, which causes mistriggers and ghost notes, making it not great for MIDI triggering. I just got the Fishman Triple Play, and it slays ANY pitch to MIDI converter yet. There's just no need for the Hexpander stuff anymore. I still have Ghost on my RG, but I just use it for the acoustic stuff, which it's good with.

[@randypcole]

I rarely say this...NICE playing.

[@mundane90]

wow...there's a lot more to guitar playing than just...playin..LOL. U're AWESOME man~

[@mistrynp]

You sound really good

[@JadDiab]

wow you get a synth guitar !! but there's too much connections to put on your guitar, it must cost soooooooo damn expensive ? Somebody have an idea about the cost ?

[@afterthefox7]

and installation is how much?

[@mojoefly]

i think i regret buying the lr baggs x bridge..

[@SearchingForGuitar]

whats the song in the beggining ?? reminds me of gran turismo :P

[@Phalanx-Band]

Interessanter Sound!!

[@alexbwv]

Nice Sound dude nice!

[@ignas9218]

This reminds me of the MIDI Drum Trigger System that Akira Jimbo uses. Obviously Jack's is more versatile.

[@higher99]

Brilliant !

[@polaris20]

Not the MIDI Hexpander. You've got to buy the saddles for $90-$110, then you need the Hexpander, which is another couple hundred. Then you have to find someone to install it. On top of that, they've got a lot more crosstalk and ghost notes than RMC pickups do. I don't recommend them at all.

[@ArvinRaviyan]

เปลี่ยนจากร้อคเกอร์เป็นร้อคพ่อบ้านแล้วรึ???ตัวนี้เพิ่งเอาไปทำมาใหม่ป่าวแจ้ค แต่ก่อนมันไม่เยอะขนาดนี้ป่าววะ??

[@eduardoprieto5267]

Great chops as always but I'm not feeling a true acoustic tone or vibe. It sounds like my synth sample. How some lessons Jack.

[@mr.c7522]

i wan a seabee i gave ton sets of guitar strings in their to kids, saw them playing guitars with various number of stings some tied with knots in them

[@jtone20]

Very Interesting :)

[@michaelolagoke2853]

nice.

[@maxomilian]

reminds me of bolo yeung from bloodsport

[@ImuhMusician]

The pickups are only 110 bucks...

[@gnryeah]

@onofregarcia88 Yeah, probably not worth the effort it would take to set it up XD

[@dinorei7364]

FOKINEU !!!

[@gnryeah]

... effects processor...

[@polaris20]

The Hexpander sucks with the GI-20. I've had two GI-20's, and there's just too many ghost notes with the Hexpander. You're far better off just getting the Fishman Triple Play, which does the same thing as the GI-20, but with FAR better tracking and little to no ghost notes.

[@polaris20]

IMO, you're sacrificing a lot of performance just for hiding it. Trust me, I've had both (actually had regular GK pickups too), and none of it compares to the Fishman.

[@mcardlepm]

Alan Holdsworth, eat your heart out...

[@ThePhlegming]

Just pull out a casual Giant Steps lol

[@keehin]

now i dont have to buy a VG strat!

[@afterthefox7]

just buy a GODIN its much cheaper

[@PowerOfStrings]

level: asian eheh

[@jtone20]

Very Interesting :)
