Which guitar would you have picked? Did I make a good choice?

[@seanp777]

Yup, I’d have picked that one too. Been looking for a P90 guitar for a while. 🤘🏼👍🏼

[@alee_enn]

I would have picked either that or the Melody Maker hanging up.

[@wisepotatoes694]

It is a good guitar, but in the end, it’s YOUR opinion and your opinion only that matters in the end.🫡🎸

[@AvocadoGuitar321]

the ukulele lol

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

If money wasn’t a factor, I’d be all over the Gretsch. Need a semi-hollow guitar.

[@j_freed]

I love pulling down guitars and tuning them up, it tells you half what you need to know before you play a a chord.

[@Taylor___]

As soon as you play them acoustic you can tell!

[@IZE83L]

A lesson I constantly remember my guitar teacher telling me...always tune up before playing or jamming

[@joemiller9522]

wait why?

[@diab_soule06]

@@joemiller9522 you get a more accurate in tune note when u tune up instead of down. so if you’re sharp, down tune, then tune up.

[@transcendkira]

​@joemiller9522 specifically this has to do with the strings catching on the nut when you tune down, which can give you a false impression that they're tuned properly but start playing and they'll slip into place and your tuning is lost. There could be more to it to do with tension mechanics but that's one reason I can remember right now.

[@EnjoyPA]

It takes Tyler twice as long to walk anywhere as most people, because he walks to an area, sets a camera up, then goes back and walks past it, and then goes back to get the camera, rinse and repeat. So worth the effort!

[@modelcitizen1977]

Or his travelling companion gets the shot and they keep walking. This isn't Survivor Man. 😅

[@LegoBeachtrooper]

@@blindsidedka Bro have you watched a single video of his? He is a pretty good guitarists sir..

[@blindsidedka]

@@LegoBeachtrooper He's the epitome of guitar mediocrity culture feeding the 'buy expensive gear and jerk yourself off on the internet instead of actually learning the instrument' crowd, a proficient player but devoid of any feel or substance, rips off the berklee guitar syllabus wholesale and sells it as 'guitar super system'... Even worse, he releases his debut EP, Nashville Noises, and it becomes very fucking clear that this guy can’t tell a good sound from his amp to his asshole. He is a tremendous example of everything wrong with the internet community of guitarists, where everything is over-theorized and consensus about how to play and learn have been formed by people who may or may not be able to back up those theories. “Have Heart” is a prime example. You have these youtube instructors preaching learning the fretboard and being able to apply all this advanced theory to improve your songwriting, improv, and understanding, but then that same guy writes “Have Heart” which is just another 3 chord loop, the same as every other rock song in history and doesn’t require any type of guitar super system, and to make it worse, that song was recorded with not 1, not 2, but 3 Berklee grads at a professional studio.

[@JesseMoto]

who are you talking to? He's not here and he dont care about your comment, its a money thing. get smart

[@GK-yf8mg]

That's awesome giving those kids band a plug, nice LP pickup!

[@gregrandallbtsr03]

Such an amazing video! The scenes at the beginning, your great playing, meeting the band, cool shop and you go home with a great guitar. Perfect day! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@greygardens81]

I picked up a Junior a while back and it instantly became my #1 for gigging. So simple with excellent lead tones and works great for rhythm when you roll the tone off a bit.

[@heythere6983]

I have 3 juniors and a les pul with p90s aswell. Pretty nice guitars . I’m sliding back to humbuckers now though, for recording I kinda prefer the humbuckers sometimes. But p90s have better clarity overall usually. Though the Gibson classic 57 pickups Iv noticed sound p90 ish and fairly midrangey and flat

[@danielamin]

Pretty cool that he plugged the kid's band!

[@narrvick]

Sad to hear the news of Tom. He was a man who helped many musicians create beauty in this world.

[@Stephen_M.]

Great to see you in my neck of the woods. I'm just a few miles south of the store. I agree, that the LP Jr. did have the best sound of everything you demo'd in the store. Kudos to you for plugging the young'uns too! (I'm 63, so you're all young'uns to me. LOL!) Getting recognition is so hard these days, regardless of talent.👍👍👍 Hope you enjoy the hell out of that guitar!

[@pdkeast]

Yooo Mr Music! Yes!

[@RByrne]

I love the Ultra Tele. I had the Texas Tea version, but it was stolen. I've been wanting to replace it with the all white for a while, and finally went to do so yesterday. Of course, a Sherwood green Strat with all-rosewood neck caught my eye, though, so I had to go with that. Next time. The Gretsch T500 and LP Junior you played sounded amazing, too!

[@Eeearthmusic]

Awesome scenes of Boston well done thanks !

[@wilbert5916]

Your video's put a smile on my face. Love it that you dont take your selves so serious.

What’s the hop? I just have missed it. 900 for a junior is cheap.

[@Guitarchie]

May 25th was this video, your wedding anniversary with Bethany and my birthday

[@johnnyrandom100]

bought my first three singlecoil guitar the other day, normally I have humbuckers. some are HSS. It is a partscaster. It was a steal. walked away grinning.

[@atomicgearworks]

Love seeing and hearing the Gretsch guitars. The sound of a Gretsch hollowbody is really not like any other sound out there.

[@BeeRumblin13]

That Chet was the nicest guitar in there. It's a dream guitar i wish i could own.

[@heythere6983]

I played a Gretsch once and it was so dull and lifeless I must have picked up a weird model or lemon. Iv heard a few that sound decent online. But I was so turned off I never bothered with that brand again lol

[@ChrisBrown-bj4fr]

The Gretsch’s were the sweetest!

[@mpkelley20]

Wish I knew you were in Boston! Hope you enjoyed the city!

[@aaronconcha6282]

I had that exact kind of model before, gibson junior 2015 100th aniv. I love the simplicity, the tone and wider neck.

[@SpicyTrifongo]

Cool part about that intro is you could walk to every spot in about 3-4 hours and take the T back to where you started.

[@guyincognito1423]

That Gretsch must be rare! Only Gretsch Ive seen with a Guild headstock and tremolo.

[@raysachs2397]

oh wow i live 20 minute walk from that store. i bought my epiphone les paul there last month.. i just turned 50 .. your videos inspired me to play.. so i got the best one i can afford and i love it. you are a great teacher .thanks for all your hard work

[@shawnmcvey7789]

I loved the travel montage at the beginning. I've never seen Boston. I was so surprised to see how much it looked like Melbourne, Australia, even down to the trams.

[@chrisk3754]

Super cool store and awesome peeps to chat with. Like the culture immersion type video.

[@eugenestein278]

Mister Music in Boston is a great store. Glad to see you made it there. Also, great choice of guitar

Dude I live near Boston and I was actually eyeing that exact LP Jr for a while because it just looked awesome, and recently noticed it wasn't on their site anymore. You stole my guitar! 😆

If your were going for an eighties music video vibe on the intro then you nailed it. Mating season move was hilarious!

The best guitar is the one you own and you can be playing it now instead of watching a gear video.

[@vincentrose9890]

That bullet strat sounded good honestly

[@luciansirbu4130]

Never been this early..3 views..Tyler..i bought a prs s2 singlecut..all because i started watching u 6 years ago..and always wanted one!

[@drasticuser5888]

Tyler I have a challenge for you. Common theme across music CCs atm is learning polyphia riffs. Fully aware people will get sick of the repetition HOWEVER… I would like to see you learn the opening riff to Nasty. I just don’t understand how Tim gets the sounds that he does.

[@gudjon_jonsson]

Those bass ukulele's sound sick through a muff🙏

[@brickafide]

Crazy how similar the Jeff beck strat and Squier sounded. Yeah the Squier was a little muffled but close

[@uhhjake3007]

i wasnt paying attention and didnt realise he changed guitars.

[@usuallyclueless4477]

Yeah, I wasn't looking at first and thought he turned the tone knob a bit.

[@chrisking6695]

Just goes to show it’s the pick ups and the pick ups only that determine the quality of the tone. Sustain is affected by the wood type, though.

[@daroldfuapse6178]

I love my Squire Affinity Tele. The only significant sacrifice is that the pickups aren’t super clear, though they sound nice. The Chinese poplar body is a little softer than alder, so it dings up easily, but it’s pretty and the finish is well done. Also, I guess they save money by not doing much finishing on the neck. It still feels good in the hand, it’s just a raw wood feel rather than gloss or satin.

[@heythere6983]

Probably can change pots and make it brighter

[@infamousgamer8698]

was that away from the mire by Billy Strings? on the Gretsch @3:05

[@infamousgamer8698]

maybe im trippin but it sounds so similar and ive never seen tyler make a billy strings vid which he should

[@starteam6692]

You really should take a look at Céleste guitars ! Those are french made guitars. I think the first one came out last year, it's the Céleste MCI. Looks really nice et sounds so good ! really versatile too. It's made by the french youtuber Florent Garcia in collaboration with a talented luthier

'best' is a temporary word in the gear junky world. I bought a really badassJackson for a grand when I didn't really have the $, well somewhat badass(got it a month back, need more gear) cause I just ordered a custom 4 string baritone.

[@usuallyclueless4477]

Squiers (especially the bullet Telecasters) and Yamaha Pacificas are really good for their price. All they need is a setup which most beginners don't think of doing.

[@ChrisWilliamsRMWpigeon]

Did I see a Adam jones signature at the end

[@picksalot1]

Single pickup guitars rule! They pretty consistently sound awesome. Part of that may be due to subconsciously moving your hand to the location where the guitar sounds best for what you're playing. The other part is that there's no phasing with other pickups in the circuit, even when they're off.

[@bobboitt3126]

Nice choice on the Junior 👍 What amp were you playing through with that? Sounded massive.
