I understand more about whats happening with drums now. Before I thought they just whacked every skin.

the heritage here is in manufacturing foreign American designs for less pric

Exactly! Thats the issue I have with the video. Mex Strats are some of the best instruments I’ve ever tried, for that very reason their guys should get the same wage as the US factory workers, as they’ve often made better instruments than the US ones.

Soundcloud is a weird old site imo. Not surprised you’ve had issues creating an account.

Yeah only just realised I cant report comments. Thought it was my browser playing up.

I’ve played guitar off and on for 30 or so years. Started when I was 17. Got a cheap strat copy and later an acoustic and bass. Guitar lessons are great if you can afford them. In some places tutors have quality related affiliations that will let you know the tutor knows what they’re actually doing.

However there are tons of free tutorials on youtube.

What you need to do is ask yourself what you want to achieve. Tutorials are great if there is an end objective (eg join a band, write some music). What instrument do you wish to play - classical guitar? Steel string acoustic? Electric guitar? Buying used will save you a shitload of money if you dont currently have a guitar, though taking it to a good shop to get it set up will help.

Yeah aftertouch is amazing. Weird how much you can do with that.

True to a degree, but about 3 years ago YT started hiding random videos from the subs (a form of shadowbanning). I still miss good stuff because YT is a fiddly bastard.

I’ve seen them come up on ebay a few times over the years, mostly Mophos though. Usually overpriced given the bugs too. Is the X4 less buggy?
