Yes , it is. Thank you and thanks for watching.

Good to hear from you

@@kennybluet5527 CZcams is stifling low-view content, brother. I had to actually select your page to see this. You'd probably hear from me more often if they weren't actively trying to make us even less relevant than we already are.

Yeah i know. Ive been warned twice by them. This one came through though. Hey aboutvyour other comment about feeling stagnant or whatever , maybe you're trying too hard. Simplify things . Just a thought. Other than that , hope you're ok.

@@kennybluet5527 No, man, it's a lot more complicated. I'm not trying too hard. The music comes out from me at will. Just the desire to share it with a world that doesn't care makes me not want to share. It has nothing to do with complexity, or simplicity. Both live inside of me without issues, and moving between them at will is easy, peasy. But it's also hard to be okay when "no one seems to care, and carry on as if nothing were there..." (quote from 'Lamb Lies Down') "And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway..." Oh, and I wanted to let you know that I love you, my friend. Before a time comes when I cannot.

@@downtownbillyandthenewjivefive ok gotcha. Sorry to hear. Sounds a bit cryptic at the end , but back at ya. Hope you're ok.

Yes indeed , a great shirt. Always been a fan of Celtic and British isles music. Fairport Convetio was always one of my favorite bands.

Not bad but nowhere near uour comment on " Bus Ride To Jupiter" about the cloud from Uranus. THAT is the stuff of legends🤣

@@kennybluet5527 Yeah, I'm struggling right now. So much music, and just having a real hard time getting it out.

From my experience , the lower end Epiphones from 3 , 4 or 5 years ago were considerably better than what they're making now.

@@kennybluet5527 not only that, the prices of epiphone now are outrageous, I remember paying £350 for a new Korina V back when I could get a Fender Mustang for around £400. You can double that now for the epiphone and it’s sad

I got the idea for this from a video i saw , where a guy was playing a custom made Martin . It cost over $ 100, 000 dollars and sounded beyond incredible. He played this piece --- both parts together , classical style ( something i could never do ) and i liked it so much i decided to do it. I left a comment in that comment section asking if anyone knew who the composer was , and as of yet i haven't gotten a response. The fact that the overwhelming number of comments in that thread are in what appears to be Japanese letters , or characters is probably not in my favor for a response. I'm betting its from the 1800s and probably Spanish. Maybe Italian. Who knows? As always , thanks for watching.

@@kennybluet5527 That's great that you can pick up songs so quickly just by ear, and play it really well too. I have to really work at doing that kind of thing. Yes, it would be interesting to know what piece that is that you played. Sounds very nice.

Yes , the single coil sounds nicer , i think. However , keep in mind that single coil pickups have a hum that can be quite annoying at loud volumes , especially if you're playing in a club or bar. The neon lights and electronics in the establishment can make it worse. If you encounter that , you can put the pickup switch in the middle position and it won't hum. Thanks for watching.

@@kennybluet5527 hey thanks for the response, not sure what I'll do so I'm just giving this guitar (with humbuckers) a chance and seeing what I can get out of it playing it clean...it wasn't bad actually in the middle pick up position and I like as much bottom end as possible. I like the option of exploring distortion etc at times so...Thanks have a good weekend.

Cool. The red one is really nice. Good luck and thanks for watching

Hey thanks! Thats very nice. Got lots of videos out there. Thanks for watching.

Im pretty sure they were discontinued. However there are lots of used out there. Keep in mind that guitars this inexpensive can vary in quality and consistency . One might be better made than another. Although they no longet produce these , they have come out with a Squier Sonic Mustang , with a variety of colors and 2 different pikup types. I have one and i like it a lot. If you can , go to an actual store and play one. Good luck. Thamks for watching.

Thank you Robby. Good to hear from another Danny fan.

Haha thanks ! Check's in the mail.

Ha ha. 😃

Goid luck with that. Thanks for watching.

Thanks , Dream. Yes these Squier single coil pickups sound really good.

Haha. Good eye ! Yes. I took the maple off of this and swapped it with the laurel one from my humbucker Mustang. I agree it looks better , although i may change them back. Thanks for watching.

Yeah the frets had issues. I think the pickups are ok. Thanks for watching.

@@kennybluet5527 maybe adding a capacitor will be enough. Cheers!

Thanks for watching. I woul suggest you go and play one , rather than online , if you can. This one does have some issues. Still like it though.

Thanks so much as always. Yes it really is a cool axe. It has some issues , but a whole lotta personality🤣

Thanks Dave. Glad you liked it.

Hey thanks ! Good to hear from you. Appreciate it.

You're welcome and thanks for watching. I might point out that about 2 months after i got it this guitar , the bridge pickup stopped working properly. Cuts in and out. Epiphone has been known to have that problem. I've had about 20 Epis over the last 10 years , and this is the 3rd or 4th one thats done it.

@@kennybluet5527 ok thanks I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll probably save up for some new p-90s after I buy it. That way I’ll be able to fix it before the problem starts

Thanks. These cheap Squiers sound really good.

Hey thanks , Bud ! Yep. Been feeling the slide lately. Slide sounds good in harmony.

Your'e welcome. Thank YOU !

Thanks man. Love this guitar.

Hey Mr. Bill ! Shirt fits great.

Thanks Dave. Its a Gretsch 2657T . Awesome guitar but the original tuners were not very good. I put Gibson vintage tuners on . Big improvement. There are quite a few of these , in various colors for sale at Sweetwater and Musicians Friemd.

@@kennybluet5527 I have the 2655 in dark green the only thing I changed was I put the chrome metal Gretsch knobs with a g on them on the guitar it looks pretty Sharp . I bought them on Amazon but they are from Gretsch they were not very expensive

@@davegass1650 nice. You have no lroblem with the tuning ?

@@kennybluet5527 not really maybe in the future though we'll see the guitar is not very old

@@davegass1650 good.

Guitar Center and Musicians Friend have a light blue Jaguar , which is similar to a Mustang , on sale for $349 . Single coils and tremolo bar

@@kennybluet5527 sonic mustang I want but thanks

Yeah I had two , but after 2 years of steady gigging with them , they developed fret issues. Sold 'em to my neighbor.They do sound great , though.

@@kennybluet5527 thanks Kenny, do you think that Fender mustang would be better than the Squier. I'm thinking of getting one. 💓🎸.

@anthonyclegg1511 in general , yes. Squier is the low end brand of Fender. Fenders are better than Squier because they use better materials and better workmanship. This mustang here is the cheapest that Squier makes. Squier also makes Mustangs in higher price range that you might want to check out.

@@kennybluet5527 OK thanks a lot Kenny, I have been considering the Squier classic vibe mustang. Incidentally, your guitar playing is superb. Thanks.

@@anthonyclegg1511 thanks Anthony

Aww , thank you so much !

I appreciate that. One of the best songs ever.

Haha. It's a stealth headstock. I blacked it in with a Sharpie to match the body , somewhat. It's a Squier Sonic Mustang with single coil pickups . I did a review of it on my channel if you'd like to check it out. Very nice for the price. Thanks for watching

Thank you kindly.

Love these guitars . Great clean tone. Thanks for watching.

Thanks bud. Looks like you deleted all your old videos.

@@kennybluet5527 Ha ha, yes. Going to experiment with some different things for a while. 🙂

Thank you and thanks for watching

Thanks. Yeah , don't know how that happened. I've since figured out how to correct it. It happened a couple years ago and you even told me how to correct it but I couldn't figure it out then. Also , I put the phone in a different spot and it records the sound bettet.

@@kennybluet5527 Ha ha. Not sure now, but I think there is a setting in your phone's video record app to flip the video around, so if you can find that setting you should be able to turn that setting off to have the video show the right way around when recording videos.

@DreamArtScientists yeah I watched a quick CZcams video on it . 2 years ago , I didn't even know what settings was.

Thanks for watching

I didn't delete it. Bill. I actually saw that you did ( notification ) and when I went to look at it , if wasn't there . I don't know if CZcams had anything to do with it , as I see they've deleted some if my comments on other sites. I've seen commenters all over CZcams who have said the same thing. I don't know if that's what happened . Like I said , I saw the notification. It was Wednesday evening , I believe. I wish I knew you were here. Would have loved to have seen you.

Oh I misunderstood. I thought you said you had been here already. I was a bit upset and didn't read it clearly.

@@kennybluet5527 we'll be there somewhere around the 16th, or so. I'm bringing a guitar :) I'd love to see you, brother.

@@downtownbillyandthenewjivefive where exactly are you going?

@@kennybluet5527 To infinity, and beyond, brother.

Hey ! Good to hear from you. Thanks!

Thanks a lot. Good luck with that.

Thank you. The guitar is a Yamaha APX 600 . It is an acoustic electric , but I'm not using the pickup. I'm using Fishman Humbucker sound hole pickup. The strings on there are Martin Silk and steel , which are similar to nylon strings. They don't exactly sound like nylon -- more like electric strings , but with a softer , warmer sound . I'm playing it through a Fishman Mini Loudbox amp , which is an amazing amp. Thanks for watching. By the way , this guitar is absolutely killer.

Awesome comment! Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for listening
