Why you need TWO identical GUITARS.

[@jamesdeananderson1411]

Until you get to bigger stages, you really don't know how accurate this video is... but this is a BRILLIANT video. Even as a SINGER, I just want to say how impressive your sense of professionalism is. I used to be in bigger regional bands and the stunning lack of professionalism I would see from some of the guitarists I was depending on was often more memorable than the crowd or show. Recently, some guys asked me to sing for a covers/originals hard rock band and the first rule we made was to RESPECT THE AUDIENCE. That means getting your music right, singing harmonies on pitch, having great and PRACTICAL gear, etc. We went to a Helix on each side, as well as a POD Pro for the bass and even the new Alesis Strata Prime for drums. Big bands (and their tour managers) have no patience for regional bands. None. Especially since they, themselves, already had to learn not to waste time. Badass video, man. Respect.

Wow i really appreciate this comment! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏼

[@joshuacuevas649]

Honestly kind of refreshing to see guitarists being more conservative on tour. We really moving up in the world. I will add i think maybe having the guitars be IDENTICAL is a bit much, like i could definitely just use the same model with a different finish or maybe like a little pickup switch. But for 95% of this video i give it a hard agree.

[@Cyb3rSynaps3]

This is why in most right rundown videos guitarists will have mostly the same shell of a guitar with the same pickups and the main differences will be cosmetic. Also I love the Schecter Solo II guitars! Good choice 👍🏻

[@brickson98m]

I don’t mind a little variation at live shows. But I guess there’s two ways of looking at the art of performing music. You can look at it like a play, where it’s a well rehearsed and choreographed operation, and you can look at it like a painting, where you switch things up a little based on what feels right. I prefer the 2nd option there, but I can respect the first as well.

[@princealimightyisHE78]

Well said

[@maxalaintwo3578]

The second option sounds cool in theory, but in performance everything you don’t directly control or defer to an expert probably goes wrong. What’s intended to be a fun improvisation or artistic liberty can easily spiral into chaos

[@brickson98m]

@@maxalaintwo3578 idk, the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana have something different to say on that one. They improvised plenty, and Kurt Cobain went through guitars like crazy, yet the music still sounded good. Sometimes there was slight differences in sound, but it made shows unique. That’s the part I like.

[@kingnary9th688]

the second option is great, if you have the option. this video specifically mentions being an opening act on a bigger tour, and you don’t have much time in the ways of experimenting cause everything has to move like a well oiled machine for it to even add up logistically

[@brickson98m]

@@kingnary9th688 experimenting doesn’t have to take any extra time. Even the main act has a time period to perform before they have to be done

[@s.e.n3264]

Idk man. I like it when you can hear a slight difference with different guitars

[@nick_terrorx]

Love those old school blackjack models

[@liragomez1312]

I have an 08 Blackjack I've been using as my main since then. I compare every guitar I play to it.

[@user-uc4xk9dz3o]

Thank you for bringing in the reality of professionalism to the conversation. In a perfect world we'd all love to have the Dead Head Wall of Sound, but being able to deliver every night and get out of the way is the name of the game.

[@unofficial_slash4541]

As someone who is actively trying to start to do the same thing. This gave me a whole new thing to think about and plan for before i start my career in music. Thank you. I'll keep this in mind.

[@fatboydashredder9877]

I mean thats more so in relation to pickups than the guitar itself tbh, cept for the tuning part

[@Headknocks]

Killing it lately Dre

[@goldenstarmusic1689]

This video is very educational for me, as a musician aspiring to do shows.

[@bruhapss]

Never thought about that. Very good point.

[@ccmayhem7549]

Dude plays a couple shows as a fodder act & here he is yapping like he's an authority.😂

[@DoomLatveria]

With strings do as, i think it was bb king, change it on stage and keep going as ya do. Most glorious thing i ever saw was a musician who breaks a string, changes it, and still keeps going the whole time. I wanna be like that.

[@user-fc9iq6le2g]

Smart guy.........that is exactly how you do it... This guy knows his role. He knows he is the opening band so he knows he doesnt have time for any mishaps and he knows he needs consistency. This dude is ok in my book.......if i had a book....but yeah

[@UncleYoshi]

That makes a lot of sense 👍🏻

[@mcwip543]

I would prefer two identical spec guitars. So i have a similar sound with a different shape. And a digital downtune sounds cool af. All the tunings with one setup

[@Redtornadogrenade-or]

Never thought of it like that

Schecter solo II custom? Nice respect. one of my wishlist guitars.

[@FlipGuitarist80]

It does make sense, same electronics, same strings, same guitar, same setup. I guess you could even go one step above by getting a guitar with the same weight?

[@robledodub]

[@loganmiller3710]

Im just trying to figure out how digital drop tuning works. I get a pitch shift over the whole instrument, but just pitching one string?!?

[@rapha2028]

honestly, I would have two of my instrument around if I could. It would be the end of the world if both of them failed for some reason; hopefully it doesn't come to that, especially with a backup.

[@XxSypherxX91]

Do you take out the separators at the bottom of the ENKI case? It’s hard to tell from the video but my school has one of those cases and two Les Paul’s will not fit in there with that bottom insert.

[@paulholland9098]

I got all these orange tube amps in my basement. My guitars all got quirks. Pedals work sometimes. As I mentioned I have all these orange amps. It’s like the entire wall in my basement. Why the fuck is the line 6 salesmen on my feed

[@charlesmerfeld2988]

Having a back up rig is not a bad idea as well.

[@CountD42]

Likewise, DJs should keep a hard backup of their library, and for absolute emergencies have a premixed set on a USB stick. Playing a prerecorded set isn't great, but it's better than playing no set at all.

Me too

[@XnmXrXsX]

I use 1 tele and 1 strat, no need for them to be identical

[@DevilsAvocado69]

You just need the same pickups and bridge, the whole guitar doesn't need to match.

[@Drarkiee]

Idk man idk

[@locky828]

The Helix drop tunes you???? Like a Digitech Drop?? Am I hearing that right?

[@retrovertigo.505]

Yeah, it's an effect called "polycapo". it consumes a lot of DSP so if you have an HX stomp for example or use a sh1tload of effects it's more convenient to have the actual pedal.

[@user-lm6ls7xp6n]

I have five fo the same guitar

[@lyrex9309]

Lemme guess its a strat

[@FNFironman]

Hello

[@stevenpipes1555]

Uh oh, did you check with Jim Lill and Glen Fricker first? According to them you could have a PRS Private Stock and a first act student guitar and as long as the pickups are the same there should be absolutely no difference.

[@thepotatotaxi2430]

I mean yeah if they are set up to have the same string height, pickup height, and pots they will sound and play the same.

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Well yeah that’s correct, but it’s just less stress on the brain to get an exact copy and not think about it.
