Yeah those are great, that’s how I found my favorite pick shape. The black tortex 1.14s are perfect size to go from leads to rhythm seamlessly. Not too floppy for leads and not too stiff for rhythm.

You’re the man! Happy holidays! My 11 yo son started watching your videos and we’re now on a path to sharing music at a completely new level. So you’ve given me the best Xmas present ever! Thanks you!

[@d1rkSMATHERS]

I added the spark to my wishlist when that first video was uploaded. It's still there, and now with kids, I need it more than ever. Tired of playing only acoustic and electric unplugged! It's my number one Christmas gift I've been telling anybody who asks.

[@robcobi]

If you want an alternative AmpliTube is awesome IMO. If you get the MAX bundle on sale you'll need an audio input too but my spark sits unused since I'm either at my computer or on one of my bigger tube amps. It's great, I just have too many options 🙂

[@d1rkSMATHERS]

@@robcobi good to know! Thanks! Found out my wife is gifting me the Fender Mustang Micro for Christmas. I'll tinker with that to if there's a way to combine it with the AmpliTube!

[@Krasniye]

Just letting you know, I got a spark because I wanted to play at my old house which was a duplex and I worked weird hours, and it completely changed everything and opened up so many possibilities. It sounds fantastic especially through headphones and you have so many options at your disposal. It's allowed me to get into recording too. And slap on a portable battery (or buy a mini) and you can play outdoors or anywhere. I sound like some kind of paid advertiser but trust me that thing is worth its weight in gold. I have a 20 watt tube amp too but the spark gets played more

[@robcobi]

@@d1rkSMATHERS The mustang will be a great starting point as well, enjoy your journey! 🙂

[@TheProgGuy]

A gift I bought for my friend on his birthday recently (actually 5 months ago) was an Ebow. It's one of those things you subconsciously know exist, but always forget exist. I bought one for myself as well, and I've been learning to incorporate it into my playing every so often. Super cool tool when you got a bunch of pedals that do wild things (synths, modulation, shimmer reverb, [microcosm]).

Serious suggestion: a Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz. Bought one on a whim because I didn’t like fuzz but wanted to play with one to see if I could learn to like it. Learn to like it, I did. I very much did.

[@stavroschrysoulis2526]

[@samuelgonzalez1392]

The Tone on your 335 is SO freaking awesome! Not as muddy as most demos I've seen of humbuckers. Makes me wanna get a Humbucker guitar!!! 😃

[@stanphillips7277]

Tyler ! You're productions are so painstakingly made it never ceases to amaze me. You're such a fun and positive dude and combined with your knowledge of all things guitar ( which of course includes your unique style of playing ) makes this channel so entertaining that the education we get is a pleasure. Kinda like Sesame Street for guitar players 😂 I enjoyed this immensely. You should do what _not_ to give guitar players next. Like strings if you've no idea what gauge or brand a player may be partial to. Picks as well. In any case thanks for the years of content that ranges from funny to heartwarming and everywhere in between bro! ✌️❤️🎸🎶🙏

Tyler, no matter the genre or style of music, you're one of the only guitar players on KZbin who I can just listen to all day, man. You have such a nice sound no matter what you're playing. Love you dude

[@ericfriedman1871]

I use a Duesenberg whammy bar. Replaces the stop bar on any Gibson style guitar in minutes. Easy to change back to original if you ever want. No glues, holes or anything to deface your guitar. IMO much cleaner and easier to string than a Bigsby.

[@frishdaw]

Thank you for actually knowing how to demo a tremolo when you tested the Digital Whammy!

I like the classic celluloid, medium. The funny thing is every colour of celluloid makes them each feel a bit different, the slight variations in material make it stiffer or more flexible.

One thought on the String Butler: If the problem is the awkward break angle, doesn't the string butler just push the problem back? And if it's relying on the rollers, it seems the better fix is a lubed nut (or even just a bit of pencil lead in the slots). Not entirely sure, but food for thought. Love your vids, dude!

Liquid Death’s advertisement team is pretty smart, just tell the KZbinrs to put the product in the video without talking about it and boom “grassroots” advertising. Tyler, Rhett, etc all have Liquid Death conveniently “left in the middle of the frame”, and never mention them. And while I don’t think Liquid Death is bad and actually enjoy their sparkling water considerably, it feels a little shady to advertise like this

[@kristinlawrence3704]

My Mom buys me ugly ass cloths and I've never worn a single item. Or pots and pans. Stupid shit "women" are supposed to like. Begged for a drum kit my entire childhood. Never got it. I played snare drum from 3rd to 7th grade and she never even got me drum sticks. So for my bfs bday I got him a drum set. He was saw it and was like wow that's pretty. So he was playing it. Guy asked him if he was interested and he's like oh could never afford it. The kit showed up the next day. I told them I wanted it. Price didn't matter. Now I'm looking at a Les Paul or perhaps a Satriani signatuee guitar for him. I did get a 2023 Challenger this year and my Mom tried so hard...she got me a "Dodge" steering wheel cover and accessories with Rams on them...cuz she has no idea Dodge and Ram are not the same.

[@shawnsguitarstuff202]

I haven't got a Christmas present in forever and all I wanted was a capo... lmao

[@xliquidflames]

Why does it matter if the angle in the string is at the nut or the peg of the String Butler? It seems to me the more extreme angle of the bend that the butler creates would be less ideal than the gentle angle coming from the nut.
