Who Is The Neurotic Guitarist?

Who am I? Where did I come from? What makes me tick? I'm OBSESSED with music and ESPECIALLY guitars! But I didn't just start doing this yesterday, I've been collecting and trading up for decades and what you are seeing is the current status of my neurotic behavior, and YES, I play them all!

I love your passion for guitar! I've been playing for 10 years now (I'm 21) and I've been struggling recently with picking up the guitar. I was in a huge rut, but now that I've discovered your channel, a fire has been ignited within me. Your passion is contagious and I want you to know that. Thanks to you and a band called Polyphia, I've found a new appreciation for guitar playing. Polyphia's technical ability mixed with your contagious energy is one hell of drug. Cheers! Edit: Plus you're funny as hell. I recently watched a video where you were talking about your first LP. Calling your boss a "Scheister", then proceeding to tell us to look in a Yiddish dictionary for said word; it had me rolling on the floor.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

I'm so glad dude! Remember, your guitar will never let you down as long as you love it. Being productive and actually feeling progress is the greatest way to ward of depression. When in doubt, just keep rocking away even if you don't feel better and one day you'll impress yourself. Keep rocking dude, never give up and remember, energy transfers. Just like my energy or Tim Hensons or yours. If you're feeling like a bummer life will be a bummer. If you play your guitar it's only you and the music you hear in your head. Once you figure out how to get it out through your fingers is when you'll finally feel free 🙌

[@pattyg5502]

@@TheNeuroticGuitarist You're 100% right! I have a question for you; If you had a time machine and could go back to the 60s/70s, what are the three bands you'd see? That is bands that were in their prime. I'd see 1: Led Zeppelin (HUGE Led Zep fan) 2: Pink Floyd (Gilmour' guitar is an extention of his soul) 3. Black Sabbath (Saw them years ago and Ozzy sounded horrible. Out of key the ENTIRE show. I've always wanted to see him in his prime) Unfortunately the only way I can see them now is through videos.

That’s a rad collection! So much passion it’s inspiring. I’m down to send you a guitar to review. I have the most epic collection of groove fretboard at 15+. I had to invent a patent pending tool to even do them. Actually Hendrix carved notches in his guitar fretboard on select frets with sandpaper as told by Seymour Duncan so it has history in rock. My uncle Gary Lucas composed Jeff Buckley Grace. Jeff’s tele is legendary and Matt from Muse owns it now! There’s so much guitar history to talk about I could go on forever.

I'm new to your channel, and thankful you made this video. Its my favorite channel. It's like I'm living my life through you for a moment. Much respect! Your living the dream for sure. Enthusiasm will get you everywhere!! (Side note) my budy has the same yr, color PRS base as the one in your studio. Yours is only the 2nd prs base I've ever seen. I'm not a big PRS fan, but it's a stellar instrument. Also, I'm woundering what you're top 5 concerts are, since you've seen so meny. I've seen quite a few myself. My favorite was Aerosmith in Landover Marylands capital Center in the 90s. (Can't remember the exact year) On the Pump tour. Skid Row opened, and were POWERFUL! Bachs voice was in top form. But Airosmith delivered a performance for the ages. It changed my life, and is the reason I picked up a guitar. Incidentally, I discovered that they officially released this performance on youtub, and I highly recommend it. What's even more interesting and OVERWHELMING for me, is during the 2hr plus concert video, you can't make out a single audience member, accept at 5 min 20 sec into the concert, for a brief second, because of the spotlight on Steven Tyler... There I am!!! I was 16 yrs old. I'm 49 now, and just discovered this a few months ago. What are the odds?? Thaught you would probably appreciate the story!

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

That's awesome and I'm from Boston so I'm a huge Aerosmith fan. Thanks for being a part of what I do, man! Top 5 concerts? Hmmm...I can throw out a few: Sabbath/Pantera Van Halen Queen and Adam Lambert (I wish I had seem Freddie but it really is the next best thing) Iron Maiden METALLICA BIG 4 There are tons of them because I've been to well over 1000 concert but those are def top tier for me.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

The corvus was a very different Pacman guitar despite looking the same as the Futura. It had a bolt on neck and the input was on the front, what makes the Futura so rad by comparison is that it was milled from one solid piece of maple, one of the only gibsons (maybe the only one) ever to be made from one piece of wood. The input was on the side. Much higher quality despite looking the same. Plays amazing! Subscribe and join the madness, my friend! Welcome 🙏

@@TheNeuroticGuitarist Instead of smoother I should have said "More confident." I kinda dug the "edgier" approach, but what do I know? You are doing great and I always smile when I have a notification of a new Neurotic Guitarist video. By the way, the first guitar that I bought with my own money that I still have is a 1977 Gibson RD Standard (Not that artist poser stuff) Yes, shhhh, I bought it in 1977. I notice you are not sporting one. This simply means that your collection is not complete. Well, you're young...😁

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

@Greg Stricklin I have lamented over the RD for years. My drummer Paul loves them. I almost almost bought a custom a year ago and was like 50 apart from the guy. It's definitely on the list, I love them. My collection will never be complete ahhhhh! I get it with the edgier thing, but people have a hard time enough understanding my energy without me being constantly legit dark, but I do still go there sometimes. You should see what's on the editing room floor!

[@gregstricklin1642]

@@TheNeuroticGuitarist The active Moog electronics in the original "Artist series" sounds like #$%^. Kinda like the sound of the intro in BOC "Godzilla." My standard still has the original Series VII humbuckers. Hey, do not discount who understands your energy and how many of us there are. Furthermore, the success each of us has had is due largely to our unorthodox energy. You are doing great. I hope Gibson is, or starts paying you. They need help! haha

If you could find a way to fit a desk in there with a bar you should be running a podcast out of this place just from the vibe check when you walk through the door. The place is special and I thought you worked in a second hand music store running videos during your downtime. You seem like a good egg so make the most of what you love and I hope you find a way to interview and podcast with your heroes.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

Already happened dude! Had a podcast called 2020d for 3 years and I interviewed tons of my heroes.
