I Bought My DREAM GUITAR...

I Bought My DREAM GUITAR…
LIKE this video if you’re excited for some Music stuff! (つ°ヮ°)つ ♪♬
Important Things Down Here ⤵
I ended up buying my dream guitar! Welcome to a quick little video showcasing the Ibanez JEM7, aka JEM7B, aka JEM7B RMR. Sorry for all the names, but this special guitar is basically an Ibanez JEM7 “Bad Horsie” Rock Mirror finish guitar. It has a reflective chrome finish and plays and sounds amazing! I always wanted this guitar ever since I first saw Steve Vai play Bad Horsie live, and I was finally able to find one and buy it!
This was also essentially a demo recording for the Axe FX 2 and using OBS + webcam for the first time, so I apologize if the video/audio syncing and quality is not the best D:
Let me know if I should do an update video once the guitar is fully set up and polished! :D

[@zbguitar]

Last time I saw one of your vids I just started guitar, now I'm 6 months in! And great video as always!

[@darkart-1484]

I swear, I thought u had this guitar or it might be the body of it that threw me off

[@robertaguilar240]

Okay but when are you gonna get the dark matter or atomic camo for one of these bad boys

[@mcnasty]

are you gonna get the new gold chromeboy? i hope they release that swirl PIA. the PIA's are the nicest guitars ive ever played.

[@coba3220]

Didn't know you watch M3RK, but it was expected.

[@joshstevens4626]

McNasty. Satriani's new gold chromeboy is absolutely sick looking. Expensive like heck tho.

[@jerememes270]

mcswagsty

[@questionmark5463]

If only that one was a more matte finish gold.. I personally find shiny gold extremely ugly and off putting.

[@tophat5128]

I thought I would see thedooo here, not mcnasty

[@NoGraphicsGaming]

I had a flashbacks to the “My RARE Guitar Collection” video right in the beginning 😂

[@Carepackage65]

Same

[@NoGraphicsGaming]

@@Carepackage65 that video is a true gem, I remember seeing it right after I started playing guitar and I was sitting there like 🤯

[@noahsims6948]

Yooo fr😂😂

[@pcstraut4821]

MAKE MORE GUITAR VIDEOS!!!!

[@tzid9437]

All the prog guitarists are just pure talents, honestly would love to see a big duo between Vai and Joe Satch

[@orangejews150]

The guitarist from haken

[@sonor72]

1:58 brooooo hearing that song in a different key is so trippy. Honestly I’d love to hear more if you could play a bit more of it. It’s probably my favourite Steve vai song tbh

[@georgepapathanasiu]

Absolutely love this shred machine and it really looks amazing on you and the way that you play it is just absolutely incredible!

[@diedjently8805]

Awesome vid dude. Love you and Steve Vai. We want more like this!!!!

[@kingkrusherg8367]

This dude and TheDooo just make me so happy when playing guitar. I hope you release more guitar or musick related videos 😎

[@evenzeroescanbeheroes6875]

To be honest,that thing sounds amazing in Eb standard. I'd consider leaving it there for a little more diversity tuning wise.

[@broadkiwi6882]

Is it funny that you were one of the first musicians I ever watched on youtube? Thanks for helping me start my path into music!

[@blackegret666]

I really love hearing you play Erik!

[@SouthpawSatch]

Glad you finally got your dream Jem and nice Vai-style playing

[@kyles7938]

What a beautiful guitar, the new releases from Ibanez are sick!

[@jefflaliberte6911]

Niiiice, congrats Erik. I remember that model being called the BRMR (black rock mirror) 😎

[@JoeHeisler]

The edge pro can take ballends, I believe that’s why there are those red plastic clips at the bottom of the bridge. I usually still clip them though. Also I recommend switching the posts out to locking posts from the edge/lo pro. Also I would love to see a video on your swirl UV. I was in college when those came out so there was no chance of me getting one originally. Maybe some day in the future.

[@whidd0w846]

Steve vai is amazing Crossroads is one of favourite movies , also amazing guitar man ! Dayum

[@jbank7547]

this guitar is just amazing. not to mention the guitar stand in the background!

[@TheGuitarMan71]

We need more uploads on this channel. So much potential

[@davidalarcon4582]

Hell yah merk your Steve vai playing is so badass dude🔥

[@DoctorJoner]

I have a woody JEM, steve's totally my inspiration. That video of him on stage with those goggles lookin like some evil guitar goblin is by far the coolest thing ever! keep up the stuff man much love.

[@SquiggleBojangles]

I like seeing your music videos with guitar. I’m surprised you haven’t done music videos with KZbin SHORTS yet to show like… skills, scales, new stuff, fun tricks, licks and such

[@costbubbles8336]

bro its crazy i found this in my recommended. i used to watch all of the cod videos, and then your "Top 10 Songs Every Guitarist MUST Know..." video showed me fun songs that made me want to actually play the guitar.

[@jamesmcguigan1]

My dream is to one day hear Erik play polyphia 😫😫

[@andrewd4221]

A video once a month would be very poggers, love the content 🙌

[@QKIB]

[@YT-op6oc]

[@bronzerapollo9081]

I’m not very much an Ibanez fan, but that guitar is so damn cool🔥

[@sonor72]

Idk If you’ve done this yet or not but if you could do a gear video / rig / setup tour type of thing I’d love to see what you use to record or what pedals you have and stuff.

[@mambotime954]

[@Sunny_Bonez]

[@2002Archer]

[@PinkFloydBootlegs]

Would love to see more content from here. Shame it's basically inactive.

[@orangejews150]

Thought you were about to play six by all that remains in the beginning

[@tworug9381]

Where does that synth patch come from? Shits baller

[@lukewillets9489]

3:23 sounds like the perfect van halen improv tone

[@jaxkthunder9274]

Merk you should make a video with the doo

[@Exodia_420]

[@misterghee1]

[@raffeschoute4827]

Would love to hear you play some Allan Holdsworth Erik uwu

[@notmars1313]

My dream guitar is the mick mars mirror Kramer

[@ssgstar1415]

Me reminiscing ab my stepdad playing his guitars in the living room 😅

[@ChanceBeBoolin]

Is it just me or does he kinda have a similar tone as the doo. I mean it makes sense seeing as Steve Vai is both there influence

[@sneakynation1414]

damn I think you and McNasty have the same amount of Steve vai guitars

[@Deceiver935]

I have watched A LOT of guitar videos and this is such a strange thing seeing your hand reflection while you're playing with your picking hand.

[@einarabelc5]

That's an Edge Lo-Profile or Lo Pro. Look at them micro-tuners.

[@djewett8471]

Guitar battle: Merk vs theDooo

[@Upside_Down_Guitar_Guy]

[@masonstone179]

My dream guitar is a Ibanez Prestige RG5170B

[@joe17d]

[@TK96]

That bridge is desinged not to have cut the ball ends.

[@onlyre5746]

[@thelawlessone666]

[@rad1cal_426]

[@4takin]

[@vincenticyfiregeetar7656]

[@Lithuania8634]

I hope I can get the John Petrucci Ibanez JPM P2

[@abrahampenheiro9842]

the action is probably high because he used slide on that guitar a lot

[@King2D999]

What happened to the chrome boy guitar or do you still have it?

[@bluephoenix3865]

Can I call it the jem seven chrome boy?

[@pcstraut4821]
