Yeah. There's a 'virgin/chad' Shiba inu meme I can't find right now with a crying guitarist surrounded by pedals and their DAW like "what if nobody likes my tunes" and three giant muscled podcasters with their SM7Bs like "so I was at the store getting groceries and this chick ahead of me is taking forever" "oh I hate that bro".

They're the worst. I have to grin and bear it and sell them their USB mics and show them how to use them and humour their vapid fascination knowing these toys are going to come right back or go in the garbage. At least some of them are at least passionate about something specific. At the risk of getting political, the absolute worst one I had to deal with was a woman who started the conversation with "I'm Israeli and I need to make a podcast to help my people sleep at night with everything that's going on." She was singularly the most insidiously rude, entitled person I've ever had to deal with, she demanded we turn off the store music and that "someone competent" show her how to install and use loving Audacity and Zoom on her laptop. I just wanted to sneak in a "from the river to the sea" somewhere but I'd rather not lose my job.

Merry Christmas.

The 7dB is interesting, it's slightly bigger than a regular 7B and the scuttlebutt is that it is actually a CloudLifter inside the chassis so it's effectively the same as getting one alongside a regular 7B - I'm not crunching the numbers right now to see which one is cheaper because I'm sitting at a bar. I use my AT4040 when sitting and streaming or web chatting, my 7B sits plugged into a TC Voicelive Touch 2 as part of my DJ setup with the (false) anticipation that someday I'm gonna use it as part of a live synth PA rig and now oh no I've become the Stupid Music poo poo.

Interesting how the people who shred also deserve to be thrown in a shredder. Perhaps they’re aware of it and are calling out to the shredder’s blades for that sweet release :iiam:

No YouTube guitarist is capable of doing this and they've all tried. Chapman's bands and that godawful music is win ep prove that forever.

most of it was forgettable but matteo mancuso playing like flamenco jazz fusion shred or some poo poo was crazy. 3:17 if the video doesn't timeskip properly.

It's just also not very interesting as music. It's kinda like those lumberjack competitions where they have to do ridiculous cuttings while climbing as fast as possible. It's all very impressive, but not something I'd recommend if you actually needed to cut down trees.

I liked Zappa's approach to Vai on Sheikh Yerbouti though: have him stand in a corner and wank all over, but make sure he's not dominating in the mix and have an actual song going on as well.

The great thing about that video is you can get up and do something else while it's playing then come back and you still saw the whole thing. Shredding so powerful it forces you into quantum superposition.

The biggest gap in all of them were the ones that sacrificed melody and/or dynamics for technique. Compressing the poo poo out of the recording for tapping articulation or just doing a bunch of sweep picking arpeggios that aren't particularly related to anything is uncanny valley poo poo. It sounds like a simulation of music.

I'm all for cool guitar trickery. But it has to be something that sits in its place and interacts with the things around it.

I had an original ghost fret, the belly cut made it one of the most comfortable guitars I ever owned. Played pretty well to boot.
