The world first SMART guitar! (HyVibe Guitar Review)

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

How should I do this video better?? trying to learn. thanks ya'll.

[@JohanFransen]

Wel done sir! (Just check Paul Davids. He does it all the time! :) )

[@hurricanejesse]

You're doing well! I couln't do better by myself. But one thing I've seen quite a lot is that videos are more interesting when there is more movement in the video. Adam Neely is often times using a selfie stick and walks on streets, and the next scene is again in his rehearsing room. Same with Paul Davids, eventhough I'm not a huge fan of his content, I watch these videos because he plays a lot with the scenery and has very creative and interactive changes, while he's explaining things, or the famous "interviewing himself". Maybe the next time you'll write a script of one of your videos, you'll plan to do such things too. But again, you're already doing well, I love your content! And you already got the most important thing to be successfull in this game, you're very sympathic, honest and humble. I really like the way you explain things, and btw the sound of your voice is very pleasing, maybe a better mic to catch the sound of your voice better would be a nice investment.

[@TeGesiatko]

Please compare this guitar and it's built in fx to Yamaha LL-TA or LS-TA. I think Yamaha did it reaaaally good!

[@brentgilbert4208]

I wouldn’t mind if your voice was a little louder..... 👍

[@pablodebiddlybo3771]

Great video and don’t ever lose that honesty there are plenty of us out there who can’t go to guitar shops to try these . That particular instrument manufacturer are really pushing these and I was thinking of picking one up BEFORE I saw the video. Now I’m going to hold on to my trusty old Yamaha cpx and ask her forgiveness for me even looking at another guitar 😬

[@DmitryKarnaukhov-m7s]

Would be great if someone could compare the acoustic sound of thv20dce and thv30dce

[@thatguyinthechat66]

You make that guitar sound incredibly good! I was hooked from the intro

[@mirageguitar]

There is an option to adjust the reverb using the app. The default setting is 100% wet. Go into the app and scale it back to 25% wet when plugged in.

[@Veronneau-Music]

Always great to hear your playing Rotem. Hope you’re doing great.

[@quaidace]

Great job! The most gorgeous thing about your video (to me) is your passion. I can tell you love the texture of sound. I love that. Thank you for your review.

[@stevenphillips8622]

I haven't heard of a smart guitar before today. I've been curious about starting up again with not much hands on for about 30 years. Today I held my first Lag and was blown away! Came home, watched some reviews, including yours!! I'm so excited 😁. What a versatile, beautiful expression for feeling.

[@KrenarCilkuGuitar]

You man, you are a vibe! I am totally mesmerized by your playing! You made it to my idol list, for sure! Thank you!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

oh man!!

[@rafaamarante]

Rotem your review is amazing. I like that you don't really have a tight script and memorized speech. It looked really spontaneous and that's gold to me. Cheers from São Paulo. Let us know when you come to Brazil to play

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thank you!! Hugs

[@lightnin7537]

Killer review man! This guitar would be great to have at the office - lots of options.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thanks!

[@MichaelZampi]

I think you did a great job on the video. I like how you explore the functionality but I would read the manual first so there is a strong understanding of the instrument. I started reading instructions years ago and it has helped me get more out of my equipment. Again, not a criticism just a suggestion 😄 I love your guitar playing. I’ve seen your videos in the past 🎸🎶❤️

[@Lost-in-Izalith]

Thank you Rotem. I have been looking at this guitar for months. This definitely seals the deal for me!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

❤️

[@bambo541]

Great review. What model was this ? I’m looking at purchasing either the 20 or 30.

[@kippsguitar6539]

The best sound was with effects turned off! Sounds like a good guitar on it's own. Fantastic playing young man!

[@simona7517]

Great review, thank you!

[@dragonclaw88]

use the bluetooth feature on your phone...itll update the effects...and you can modify all of the effects to shape the tone on all the effects since you say the effects are so strong...you can make them much more subtle and adjust the effects EQ...plus you can use the guitar as a speaker..or play songs or videos on your phone and play along with the songs

[@tz7813]

From 9:00 there is criticism of the effects, when played through an amp? I think there are patches that can be downloaded, to update the quality of the effects.

[@rebuiltbyusn]

I was very pleased with the over all video. I especially liked the part showing your figuring out how the looper worked. I guess I didn't need to know what you liked but just the fact that the tremolo really sounded good and would be something you could see being used to write or be creative. I would have liked to have you had already become somewhat familiar with the program and how it and the guitar worked together. I hope this helps. Best of luck. You are an incredible guitarist and I have just started watching your videos.

[@syvstjernen7]

Very good video. You are a were inspiring player, but I think you should start by telling people exactly what model you are playing. There are quite a lot of high vibe modeIs. I guess this is the steel string tdv30dce. You should mention that.

[@isaacjones7947]

Dude that wall is absolutely insane. You NEED to do a video showcasing all of your guitars.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Will happen

[@cowboytsundere3013]

This video is a vibe

[@dduaneb]

I thought it was a great review - better than many others!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

thanks Dennis!! trying

[@penfold7800]

Yeah, I really don't like you needing an app to adjust more settings. That's bad. I would need those options to be accessable through the guitars own buttons and menus. Can you adjust where the octaver takes effect, like on an OC3?

[@mikecass4962]

Excellent!

[@kerodanalduin3719]

Great review! You really need a clip-on mix, though.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

oh yea. that's a good idea

[@Donkone1]

Good review Rotem and some awesome playing, what model is the Lag and have you played any other models since doing this review.thanks!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

It's the only one I tried

[@jed1166]

Thanks for playing it plugged in, which is how most of us will play… most reviewers only play guitars acoustic only. I don’t care that much how a guitar sounds to me… I am much more concerned with how it sounds to an audience.

[@rebuiltbyusn]

Also, something about the materials used in the build and the cost plus where to purchase.

[@Philc231]

Good luck finding one of these. Like trying to find a ps5. Are they holding back to drive up prices Or what ?

[@tz7813]

Acoustic is a pain sometimes because theres so many great tunes that use alternate tunings. You re-tune, then it takes time for the guitar to adjust, so you have to tweak for a while. Imagine a lightweight, ‘robot’ style tuning system, like the one used on Gibson guitars? Motorised tuning machines, that re-tune quickly, then constantly monitor and tweek, to stay in pitch. We’re getting closer to making guitars that can do almost everything needed. 😎👍

[@ericgonzalezmarin1016]

Great review man!! Which mic are you using to record the guitar? It sound quite amazing when you played the acustic natural sound of the guitar.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thanks! I used the AKG C414

[@boomieboo]

I love this. Would be awesome if it had auto and altered tuning capabilities as well. Maybe in the next version.

[@tz7813]

Just checked, and it already exists!😂 Looks like I’m going to be buying some more gear!!!!😎 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKTRoX-vpbV5mK8 👍

[@boomieboo]

@@tz7813 thanks so much for this! It's exactly what I was looking for! I should have done a bit more digging like you to find that. Thanks again man. Great find that's much appreciated.

[@Tigerex966]

Looper was great but if you have a good bluetooth speaker, and a looper app on your phone and a quiet room, you can do this right now.

[@buzzoyun]

Imagine an electric with a built in processor (i think muse’s matt bellamy has something like that but im not sure)

[@domjkof5327]

The looper work "acoustically" or just plugged in? It's an awesome idea to have a reverb coming from the guitar, it will shock some people tho. But the rest of effects, I don't know. If they make it super editable (taking out fx, replacing some, making presets on pc or app) it can be really good.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Acoustically works

[@domjkof5327]

@@RotemSivanGuitar thanks Rotem, that's kinda cool 😜

[@erikluo]

Very cool!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

thank you!

[@janedawson1398]

Which model is that?

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

Yamaha brought out the TransAcoustic back in 2016, but I guess Lag has taken it a little further

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Oh cool

[@kippsguitar6539]

Exactly right

[@thehoodedvagabum7375]

Is it my imagination, or those strings are a little bit hard? You seem quite uncomfortable in some areas of the guitar. That´s part of the reasons of why I can´t always dig into acoustic/metal strings guitars. Great video as usual, the editing is getting better.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Yea, they are much heavier.. but that's the give & take maybe. i could set it up lower but i'll loose some sound in the process.

[@ctschwei]

Never let a guitar be smarter than the guitar player! ;-)

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Truth

[@JustaPerson1988]

Comment for the algorithm!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Yassss

[@ulfsvensson9710]

I have played a couple of their cheaper models. Realy easy to play and ok sound. Much guitar for the money.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

i think i got the fancy one.. i'll be curios to feel the difference too

[@miguelangelconde2135]

Is the guitar conectes to an amp ?

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Later it wil

[@nacienlos70]

You make the accoustic sound round and Mellow which is quite difficult to do.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

🙏

[@phillipholt6005]

Self modding guitar. Just turn controls. What would it cost for a repair? To much to go wrong.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

It's usually fine

[@janiescute]

Why cant you tweak the reverb in the app?

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Seems like you might be able to

[@spyderlogan4992]

Is this the THV30DCE model?...I like the overall sound of the guitar by itself, especially on the upper frets, but without the awful black plastic control panel cut into the beautiful side. I cannot stand those, including the stupid 3 buttons on the Taylors. Absolutely ruins the looks, but that's just me. And no fret inlays, not even dots?...that's weird. But overall, that's a lot of guitar for the money. Thanks.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

yea, that's the model!

[@mackreig2356]

Dots are on the side of neck as other reviewers have shared and as for control panel I agree plastic is cheap unless it is an apple product but necessary and visible to player only.

[@jamesdeininger3759]

I’m so disappointed that people outside of the USA use the word ‘vibe’ as much as they do over here 😂 Great review though

[@MorganLeighT]

I really wanted to like this, but if you buy one and are like me, it'll arrive broken, the company will be absolutely awful to deal with and they'll even make you drop off the broken guitar at FedEx yourself and just basically make everything your problem. Probably not even close to worth it for most people. Avoid.

[@pablodebiddlybo3771]

That thing plugged in is irritating AF. The hy vibe guys need to sort that out . Carrying an on board looper is a great idea but come on , how much is a second hand loop station these days? Beautiful looking thing but for the price I’d take a look at dowina guitars out of Bratislava . The finishing on their instruments is out of this world

[@HyVibeAudio]

Hi Paul, you can actually adjust the wet/dry signal with our app. That will take you out of the swimming pool!

I thought it was gonna be a guitar that corrects your mistakes somehow, lmao but it‘s pretty cool.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

[@eh3920]

There are no mistakes. What you are discribing is called composing.

[@dudeabides3860]

@@eh3920 Well, I get your general point. But you can still have buzzing, which would be considered a mistake or even that could technically be used as composing tool. But I was just being very vague with my upper statement.
