Top 10 Guitars for kids #guitarforbeginners
I have the pink S561. Don't get me wrong. I love it now. At first. The neck was nice and straight. Action kinda low and a little fretting on low and high E. And it was very tuning unstable. And lacked sustain. After truss rod and action adjustment. Fender Tex special pickups, graphtech locking tunners and tusqXL nut. Still needs a better bridge or saddles at the least. But it's a good practice guitar. And to take to lessons. To keep ware off my expensive guitars. But I probably have close to a grand into it now. And I could have have another Japanese RG550. Or a FGJ😢
Glad you like it now, I think they are pretty good guitars for the price. I am playing the Joe Satriani models by Ibanez and I like them a lot. We sell and have sold a ton of different guitars and I think there are "flaws" with most guitars to be really picky about it. But I do feel there are great guitars out there and the manufacturers are doing a great job.
u look like u could be Nick hexums brother
Saving this for whenever my guitar stops rotting in my closet
there's no time like the present, I am happy to help you if you want to get started.
Love when guitarist show the alternatives for chords
I'm glad you like the video. Let me know if there are any other progressions or ideas you would like covered.
Great tip! Thank you!
You're welcome, let us know if there are other subjects you would like us to cover.
i bought a guitar from this guy and tried to return it. could not get ANY cooperation or help at all. he turns me off from using reverb
Did you buy the Ibanez AX, if so you can return it no problem , and of course you will receive a full refund , just need to box it up and send to the proper address. Please let me know if you need more info.
Not for me!
No stainless steel frets for a guitar priced at $399 and up? I'll pass on this. I found out about the benifits of stainless steel frets about 1.5yrs ago. During my internet search on good affordable guitars with stainless steel frets i stumbled upon Harley Benton Pro Fusion III guitars. The guitar came with Stainless steel frets, Roasted maple guitar neck with roasted flame maple fretboard, and a floydrose tremelo for f**king $411. They also have other less equipt guitars below $280 with stainless steel frets.😳 When you check out those Harley Benton guitars it makes you wonder if they can equipt those very affordable guitars with stainless steel frets why cant Ibanez, Charvel, Sterlingbymusicman, jackson, etc do the same.🤨 If you are someone that practice a lot you seriously need to focus on buying guitars with stainless steel frets only because based on what you originally paid for it future fret replacements could cost more than the guitar.
Hey there, thank you for the info, I would love to check them out. I will look them up unless you are able to send me a link, although I have been playing for over 4 decades my number 1 hobby is checking out gear. Always interested in learning something new, thanks for the info
Thank you for your comment. You can play an Em a variety of ways. To play a proper Em you need to include the notes e b and g. You need at least one of each. In book A, I show a really easy version that is an Em triad which is just the first three strings open which includes the note e, b and g. I believe the version or voicing you at referencing includes the first three strings open as well as the note e on the d string, the note b on the a string and the sixth string open e. Please let me know if that makes sense.
Please note on your chord diagrams there's a typo on Em( E minor) for E minor the A and D strings must be held down and the rest of the other strings are open 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey there, sorry thought I answered this. The E minor cord contains the notes E B and G. And can be played by playing strings 1, 2 and 3 open. That is the easiest chord to play. However you are probably referring to the voicing that would also include the 6th string open, the note b on the A string and the note e on the D string. From the 6th string the notes would read E B E G B E please let me know if this helps explain
I just found out the releasing a left handed version of
Yes, I am happy to see that, there are so few lefty guitars out there. I am left handed but I play righty. Are you a left handed player.
Yes I owned the Ibanez prestige 2402L and love it just glad they release this new model I own a fender deluxe wish I haven’t touch since I got my 2402 prestige
Is it the filter you are using for this video? Head is bigger than normal, and the body is small. Kinda funny but cool.
Thank you for the comment, no filter, not noticing that, but it is a very cool guitar and a really nice weight. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello Do you have it in stock, I'm interested in the Candy Apple Red

Hmmm. That is an interesting challenge to work on. Thanks for sharing your training idea with us.
Yes this is a challenge to work on, try one position at a time then eventually try to connect the neck together. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if there are other topics you like to see us cover.
Epic!
Insanely cool way to practice! Thanks for the video 🤘
Glad you enjoyed it. Please let me know what other topics you would like to see covered.

This was awesome. I love slash chords.
It even has the hum of a tube amp
Yes, it is a little buzzy. Still a pretty cool little amp.
Nice mike! I might be able to play something after all! 🙂
You absolutely can learn to play guitar, it's all about the approach, and the instructional material. Let me know if you need help getting started or re started. Mike
Excellent video! I've been wanting to learn. Perhaps it's time for me to commit.
You can do it, it's so easy to get started. You can pick up the book on our website.
Hey Mike! I have two of these each running atop the Harbinger V218 subs. I’m getting a second pair for left/right for larger crowds. When coupled together the sound seems to more than double! I’ve decided because of my health and for ease of set up and break down that this is where I’m headed. With the Mackie DL32s digital mixer and powered monitors I can set the stage myself if needed. This set up may not be for real large crowds, but then again..who’s playing large crowds? LOL. Thanks for the upload.
Do you have the lipstick to match like Lari? 😂
Now that would have made a good video. Cool guitar though, I like the one in white better.
@@mikeriskomusic9045 yeah the white one is cool.
Love it!
Price?
www.riskomusic.com/products/alvarez-rd26-814295015843 Great guitar, I am happy to answer any other questions you have Mike
Thanks.brother but I live in Cambodia county How can I buy it?😢❤
Thank You for such a comprehensive video. You cleared up some questions that I had in my mind about this product. Stay well!
Thank you, do you like the product, what is your application, I use this speaker for many of our events. One drawback is although there is a monitor out you cannot adjust individual volume separately for each performer, so if the singer wants more volume when you turn the monitor up everyone goes up. In the case of event where we need "more" I use Yamaha mixers and Yamaha speakers. Video coming soon
Hey, Mike. Could this pull off country tones?
Yes this model can pull off country tones , especially with the pick up switch in the middle position. Let me know they are currently in stock and ready to ship. Thank you Mike
Just seen your video, I have the Jbl eon one mk2 but I’m still deciding on switching them up. Do u know if these would be good for DJ use? Jbls are 1500 watts but at times I feel it doesn’t have that punch or db it says it’s supposed to. Thanks! Great vid
Thank you, I don't know that much about the JBL, but yes I love the Stagepass. But if you want a real thumping bass sound for DJ ing I would get a Yamaha DXS 15" sub and a 10" or 12" Yamaha DXS for the top. If you like the Stagepass and don't need the mixer you can get its companion DXL1K, same speaker without the mixer. Not sure it is going to be thumping enough Let me know if you have any questions
Man they sound Great !
Wishing you the best in 2024!🫶🏻
Awesome! Love it! You folks are an amazing gift to the community !🫶🏻
Awesome!
MRS PRANDIAN!
WAIT THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER??
@@zenyy00yh..
she was my fav
Nice guitar but unfortunately way out of my price range for a beginner like myself. Thanks for the video.
Not cheap, but a really nice guitar. If you are looking for a guitar I am happy to help you find something in your price range.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving !🫶🏻
What about the blue knob?
The blue knob adjusts the volume sweep. If you leave the blue knob up a little bit, when you back off the pedal all the way, you will still have some volume. I like to keep the blue knob all the way down. Below is anther video using the volume pedal before a pedal for a different reason. czcams.com/video/Wg71oThs8WA/video.html
Done!🫶🏻
Thank you Char
You do some great stuff for the community!🫶🏻
Looks like fun
Thanks, Mike!
Hey Char, great to hear from you, please let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see in a video
@@mikeriskomusic9045 Thanks, Mike. Hope to stop by the store soon.
