[@hughjanus5518]

In order to get all the features from Fishmans you've got to add switches and rip your hair out. The HFT and V1 low gain along with the coil selector for the coil split mode adds 5 more wires coming from each pickup. I have Moderns in 3 of my axes and took the time to wire up every feature and adding small on/off/on 3 way switches and cut out holes in the backplate so nothing is permanent.

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah, that's why I took it to a professional. I don't want to rip my hair out lol.

I don’t like Polyphia’s music but I have no hate for them at all. From my point of view it just sounds boring and without any soul or emotions. But I also can admit that that there technical skills are great, but I can also admit that they was shitty at NAMM 2020 comparing to Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Nita Strauss. Because at least 3 of those 4 artists really brought guitar playing to another level

[@TaylorDanley]

That's pretty reasonable. I understand that feeling as well. I do think they have a lot of emotion in their music, but it's like watching someone play chess when I only understand checkers.

[@Viper-dz2kw]

[@JonnySoundSounds]

no hate on him he does his thing i just feel he is turning guitar into more of a key board style instrument, as im writing this i heard you just say the arpeggiator thing and he isn't really pushing guitar any where they're were already plenty of other guys playing like him but his band is one of the more popular bands doing it, writing songs with that style of guitar playing. the great thing about guitar is its an expresses instrument you can do what ever you want from the guys who play guitar with one string to the guys tht turn it into a keyboard to the guys who play it like a standard guitar. the reason i personally dont like tims style of laying is to me in my opinion it takes the heart and soul out of the playing and sounds like some 8 bit computer notes chirping out. but to tim it may feel and sound like bliss. my guess is polyphia playing will be like nu metal its a way to push the guitar into something where nu metal was dropping guitar so far it sounded like a sledge hammer to the face but the gimmick quickly got old and people for got about it, then djent did the same thing and now mth rock pushing it to the extremes by fitting as many notes as you possibly can into as short of a time as you can. im sure it will get old quickly as well and youll get a new generation of kids finding classic guitar playing and a way to make it new but still retaining the soul of guitar. best of luck to tim and polyphia i just don't personally like that style of music

Hey what’s up I have a question I am trying to grow my hair out and do you have any tips or something?

[@kel5944]

After seeing you review a baritone guitar, that I previously didn’t know existed, why would someone want a 7 string instead of a baritone(other than to play korn)? A baritone loses maybe 5 high notes, depending on how many frets it has, but the chord shapes don’t need to change to take advantage of the extended low range. Go easy on me and explain it to me like I’m a bass player.

[@TaylorDanley]

Baritone make chugga with tight strings, 7 string make chugga with extra string. Guitars both go brr brr.

[@kel5944]

@@TaylorDanley lol, maybe you dumbed it down a little too much for me. It is a serious question.

[@HardbrasH1]

See, chord shapes not the same, if you go on thin strings, cause of third string. So if you play more of standard tuning stuff and occasionally want to add lower notes, you go for 7string guitar, because you literally can play everything, not with the same comfort may be. But if you play primarily low notes like it is standard tuning, and you want it to be comfy, and you don't care to play some standard tunning stuff often, your choice is baritone. All in all, good 7string guitar IS ALWAYS a baritone (not this stupid 26' noisy nonsense with ropes for strings, 27' is where it starts), so its pretty much everything you need to consider in your choice.

[@dreammachine86]

If you tune the G string of a 7 string down to F# that will allow you to use all the same chord shapes, just in B standard. I quite like doing that as it's effectively then a baritone but with an extra high string - and that high e actually adds in quite nicely to a lot of chords. All depends on what you want to play TBH. That little tuning trick won't be so helpful if you also want to still play E standard stuff on a 7 string. But 7s are useful for that too - being able to play whatever E standard riff you like, and then do some lower chugs when you like. Can also tune it to drop A, so you have a standard guitar with the ability to play drop tuned 1 finger power chords on the bottom.

[@kel5944]

@@dreammachine86 Thanks for the information. That sounds very versatile. After reading it, I should have realized that you can just detune one string and get the same intervals, but lower. So would the baritone be a little better at playing, or giving a fatter tone in the lower register assuming the baritone has fatter strings and a longer scale length?

[@enilgacs]

Off-topic but you wore a VVitch movie long sleeve shirt in another video that looks like a band shirt with VVitch going down the sleeves. Where did you get it from? I tried to find one but couldn't locate it anywhere. I need to get one!

Fishman pickups have little boost pedals in them. They also change the windings with the voice so yo u get a full stacked single coil in voice 3 on the modern sets. Voice 1 sounds like every other hot humbucker, and if it was in a mix where you cut under 75 hz and over 5k, it would sound exactly like everything else. Not even Fishman says they sound special in modern voice or vintage voice. The whole marketing copy is the low noise floor.
