I saw this kid open for Buddy Guy once. He was like ~13 or something, playing old blues songs and originals. It felt so disingenuous. Hearing a 13 year old singing about heartbreak is sort of hilarious. But everyone seemed to enjoy him. It was strange more than anything.

True, but he's gonna be knee deep in his preferred sexual organs + cash money for the rest of his life. I'd do it if I had the opportunity at 13. But no, I had to be all punk rock and poo poo at that age.



I wish Unlocking the Truth's bassist was less of a wet blanket.

I don't mind if a kid is playing what they want to, but you can basically instantly tell when it's someone who's doing what their parents are doing. I mean, gently caress, I dunno, maybe blueskids hear the blues and actually want to do that. I dunno. I actually really dug that Sepultura cover, though.

Apparently it's a baritone, so if it can be made playable it's a pretty good find! I've only ever found lovely acoustics in skips :(.

I did a reverse image search with a few different sites, looked at the photo metadata and I got him to take a picture with him holding the guitar along with a piece of paper with my name on it, everything seems pretty legit. I even did some internet detective crap and he does live at the address I sent the pick-ups to, so I guess we'll see.

I still feel kind of dumb about it tbh, I honestly brought it with the thread in mind. GF is unimpressed "If it arrives it's probably going to be radioactive or covered in cancer fertilizer and hepatitis".

Electro-Acoustics are kind of outside my expertise, but I put a new mixer in a RainSong and holy poo poo was that a good guitar, lowest action I've seen on an acoustic. They are expensive as poo poo though, £3k I think it was.

I want to find out whoever thought putting robot tuners on all their guitars was a good idea and poo poo in their shoes. Those tuners have nylon gearing (planned obsolescence?) and apparently have a tendency to re-tune when you do strings bends. It's not going to end well.

haha no loving way that's some walmart poo poo

like power tool manufacturers make versions of each model specifically for walmart with nylon/plastic gears so they wear out faster and people keep coming back to buy another tool more often

At one point I had saved a YT vid of some young kids in Mexico playing on really terrible gear (like Peavey Raptor level). They were playing a really metal version of 21st Century Schizoid Man and loving nailed it.

Hate that I can't find that video.
