    Robert - I'm a boomer. In one sense born into a great age - the age where rock really toke off. But o the other hand, as a self-taught guitarist who could not afford $25-35 per hour lessons I had a lousy teacher. Got a chord chart, bought some sheet music and had only one band garage band with my brother on bass and next door neighbor on drums. We were terrible but we had fun. And that is what music is to me fun. Now days with the internet, there are so many resources, learning is a bit easier. At 74, I am now covering ground that I couldn't 60 years ago. I have purchased several of your courses - they are great. I finally have a decent amount of really good guitars. But playing is harder at this age. I can't even play until about noon, when the stiffness and swelling subsides from my fingers(old age arthritis). This is a backdrop to what I want to say. I'm not good enough to seek that elusive magical tone. I'm on a quest to play 1/3 as good as you do. Thanks for all you do. I'm sure mostly you are helping a younger generation and that is wonderful.

      When in doubt - drop that low E string one whole step to a D and play low n slow. Bar bottom 3 strings with finger, thumb or coke bottle and get yer Ry Cooder on - while playing a simple D chord - yep if it ain't fun, it's done. That's my motto. I'm a punk 70 this year and multi-tracking with Garageband and Logic playing all the instruments especially guitar is what keeps me goin'. Just bought another one I don't need but it's my first gibson (Tony Iommi SG "Monkey") since my original guitars were stolen way back in the 80s.The P-90s on the SG are sick - in a good way! Rockin' out is why I don't look or act 70 today. I still video skype with the homies back in CT (I've been in L.A. for decades) that jammed with me in my driveway back in the early 70s. Talk about terrible, terribly LOUD, I have no clue how we got away with those driveway jams back then in Mystic - big shout out to my old neighbors probably dead now - apologies too ! We were very lucky to see how drab life was before Beatles changed everything on Ed in Feb '64, and then just hanged on for the Sixties ride!!! Unbelievably good times, bands, drugs, girls, fashion, attitudes and what you said.....FUN. 👀 🎸

    I have 9 guitars. I make a point of rotating, playing a different one each day. There are times I want to skip one and play another one, but have found that once I pick up the "scheduled" guitar I have no problem enjoying it as much as the last one. That includes the two acoustics. One tip I heard a while back was commit to playing 5 minutes a day. It has transformed my playing to a new level, mostly because you end up playing WAY more than 5 minutes.

    I sort of do the same thing Robert. I like to cycle my guitars every 2-3 months so they all get some playing time. This also allows me and helps me to appreciate that guitars certain characteristics or nuances and EVERY guitar has that! I don't care if it's PRS, Gretsch, Squire, Epiphone, Sire, Fender, Fernandes, Ibanez, Schecter or whatever brand. They all have uniqueness to them!
    I do however find myself spending the most time on my Squier Tele (custom modded) and my Sire S7 (stock) the most however because they seem to have that certain sound in each that I like the most.

    This video is PERFECTLY-timed. I was having a very similar discussion with a bandmate literally LAST NIGHT. For me, I describe it as "seasons." Right now, I am in a Jaguar/Jazzmaster season. This time last year, I was in a PRS season. The year before that was a Jaguar/Jazzmaster season.
    Several years ago, I would go back and forth between a Chapman season, LTD season, Chapman season, LTD season.
    Even when it comes to plectrums, same story. I have a Dragon's Heart season, Dunlop Flow season, Kirk Hammett Signature season, which is where I currently am.
    Life is all about seasons. Seasons come and go, then come back around. To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven.

    PRS is my #1 go to every day. Idk, they're just the best guitars, in my opinion. I love my Charvel and Ibanez guitars, too, but there's just something so sweet about my PRS guitars that keep me coming back to them, every day. They're just so versatile and play soooooo good! PRS has their haters, but so does every other brand. It doesn't get much better than them, in my view. I worked very hard to save up to be able to afford even one, and after I got my first Custom 24, I couldn't stop haha. Sold my Les Paul's and Strats to buy more PRS guitars!🤣To each their own!

    With you 100% Robert. I take fits all the time, within models, brands and styles. Sometimes you just want that Tele sound. Sometimes you want the Humbucker growl or that Les Paul heft. Sometimes you just want the smoothness of a Jazzmaster. Its why they're there and why the brands make so many of them.
    I have tried in the past to put myself in a mindset "This month I am only playing THIS guitar." and it never works. I may walk into a guitar shop and absently or purposely pick up a different guitar and boom, the shift happens. Let me use July as an example. Started off with a Les Paul, Moved on to a Baritone, moved on to a Nighthawk(So back to Les Paul..sort of) then onto a 6 string acoustic and ended the month...with a real need for an ES335.
    Here we are the first day of August......now I am hankering for some Tele. This does not mean I dont love the guitars above. It just means I am hearing that Tele quack in my head. Doesn't mean, like you with the DGT, that the second I put my hands on x it wont change again. I find that when I have long stretches with a guitar its one of two things 1)The style of music I am listening to demands that kind of guitar and 2)I am working on something for live playing and I need to chose a guitar since I cannot drag EVERYTHING with me. :)
    I am also with you on that Jazzmaster. Its shocking how fantastic that thing is! If I am right its the 40th anniversary Desert Sand. Like you I have a Fender one and that Squire. I cannot part with either. They're just too different. But if you forced me to.....the Fender would go. That Squire is THAT much of a honey!

    It made me smile to watch how Robert's playing style changed within a few notes of picking up each guitar; starts off with a straight lick, then just drops into hybrid picking, or a biting run then bending down into a note, or 'jazz' chords with lots of reverb shimmer. 😊

    I love my DGT and save it for gigs! I usually play one of my Strats at home, which is a bit harder to play, so when I go to play the DGT, it feels so easy! I tend to stick to those two, because I play Flamenco and I love Nylon guitars. I think the DGT has a sound, and with the coil taps,its a Swiss army knife for me!

    • @gregmacklin9758
      @gregmacklin9758 Před 6 měsíci

      So it's an SE.
      I've played em and I never really noticed anything significantly different from the American counterpart.
      It like saying you get a noticeably different sound from an American strat VS a Mexican.
      I almost bought a second hand SE
      It was a real beautiful semi hollow mint condition. It had a great neck and the quality of the build was excellent. And then I plugged it in and played it for a half hour.
      Playability was very good and it had attributes that I actually preferred compared to what I'm used to. But I took a pass and held on to the $360 that they wanted for it.
      Just wasn't what I wanted to hear.

Have a great 08 PRS core Mira! Phenomenal tones! Single coil sounds like a vintage Tele but…..too hi -fi maybe or too many other guitars I bond with! If only guitar in squad …I’d be happy with it but competition in squad too great and a bit of a traditionalist I guess!! Great video Robert! Thanks for sharing !

    I've got two electric guitars - a G & L Legacy, which I've had for years, and a Michael Kelly Custom 55, which is a recent acquisition. I've been playing the 55 almost exclusively. Now that I've gotten accustomed to the slightly wider 43 mm width at the nut I can't see going back. That, and the 55 with the coil splitting pickups offers such a wide range of sounds.
    Question regarding the American Vintage Telecaster: did it take you a while to get used to the 7.25" radius fretboard and the smaller vintage frets?

  • @robertnilsson8213

    Hi Robert, thank you for another great video. I'm also a boomer and recently became 65 yo. I've never felt a need to buy a PRS guitar. Or an other expensive guitar like Martin or Taylor. I think Yamaha acoustic guitars are more in my pricerange and in an acceptable quality. As a guitarist and ownlearned guitarbuilder i have lots of brands and models of guitars to choose from. But i know what you mean, during the years while you still learn you pick up more and more of what you like to hear in a guitar. Like that special Tele-Twang you talked about. I mean, now i own 2 of these, one i built myself with a thin roasted maple neck and a Tele Deluxe Player MIM. I use both frequently, another favorite is my Gibson Les Paul with burstbuckers, oh i love those. Another guitar i often use is a Fender Stratocaster in Inca Silver with a Seymour Duncan Humbucker in the bridge, love that too. My Epiphone Wilshire with minibuckers. I love those too. And my Metalguitar The Ironbird from BC Rich, that devilish guitar may just be the noisiest guitar with 2 volumeknobs on the planet. 😊The semihollow Epi 355 for the jazzgigs. The acoustic for the acoustic gigs. I mean the list can go on like forever. So i do get your point, we're just after better and better sound, playability, set up, action, simplisity, value for the money and just how fun it is to play it. Keep up the good work man. Thanks! Peace bro! Rob Nilsson

I do switch it up but sometimes some get played more than others but I always come back around to the neglected ones because it is a mood thing and everyone goes through phases.

  • @guitarman430
    @guitarman430 Před 10 měsíci +6

    I'm with you. I've owned three PRS models and sold them all. Nice guitars but I could not bind with them. It really has to do with the scale length and the pickups. Most traditional PRS Core models come with a 25" scale length, Maple top and humbuckers with no distinct sound. It's like a cross between a Fender and a Gibson with no distinct sound of their own. Later McCarty models and the Silver Sky are different as they try to emulate Gibson and Fender directly. I own many Gibson's and Fender Guitars and I can get the individual sounds of a Les Paul, ES-335, SG and an LP DC Junior with a P90. I also own a Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster and a modified custom Super Strat, that I pretty much assembled from premium components myself. I can get any sound I want or need with these guitars. I even owned a Gretsch 6120 with TV Jones Pickups and a beautiful Rickenbacker George Harrison 12 string guitar. I sold both of these because they fetched top dollar, and I could not justify keeping them! Until PRS comes out with a unique sounding guitar that I can't get out of my arsenal, I'm sticking with what I have!

    Hey Robert, my name is Tom I am 71 years old and I’ve been playing since the fifth grade and as I got older and further into my personal business which supports all of my hobbies and avocations, I’ve been able to have some pretty wonderful instruments I think my guitar closet has 15 in there now, and I play them all. I love them all, and like you, I believe they all have different voices, a different musical statements to make. I own four PRS guitars, including the SEDGT, which made me lose my appetite for spending a lot of money on a core or higher grade DGT because the $800 guitar really kicks ass. I wanna 513 at a private stock custom 24 and they’re all different and they’re all amazing. I want to JP 15 couple Stratocaster‘s Rick three 6012 and the wonderful thing about Music is that it’s different every time you pick up the guitar and all of those instruments are wonderful gifts from the creator himself who has allowed me to be their caretaker for probably just a short time in the future before they belong to somebody else. God really blessed Paul Reed Smith was an amazing perspective on our industry. I feel the same about the ball family. The other thing, of course, is amplifiers are the other half of what the guitar can do. At the end of the day I play for my ears, and I like what I hear, coming for me. And I like what I hear, coming for me you are an amazing teacher as are many on CZcams these days. I can’t imagine what my life would be like if we had CZcams back in the 70s.
    I probably would have succumb to a much faster life and not be in the pump business. On the other hand, pumps pay for guitars.
    I personally want to encourage you to just keep exploring and loving what goes in your hands and comes to your ears. That’s why we all play.
    Play loud, my brother!

It's versatile enough to give me the different tones I've chased during my phases. Humbucker, split coil, piezo, synth, it's all there. Plus, the neck feel is what I like. Even when I switch to another for a time, I find myself reaching back to it. It's a custom 1997 Godin LGX-SA, and it inspires me to play.

    Ive had an SE 24 for 15 years. Upgraded pups, tuners, brass trem block and it plays and sounds great. It was great stock but I put Fralin Unbuckers in it to give me a fatter sound when coil tapped. This vid was great and has me ready to go down the P90 route. Ive always wanted a tele and hear its the most versatile but single coil picks up are loud and hum. I feel like you can get a closer to humbucker feel w P90s

    • @michaelweiss9219

    Great video, I can relate to this a lot.
    I have a PRS custom 24 , American Strat, Mexican Strat, Schecter, Ibanez, Epiphone. All middle of the line or high-end guitars worth a lot of money but recently I've been finding myself playing my very first guitar a Squier Stratocaster, the pick ups and some of the hardware has surface rust on it but I didn't play it for years and now it just seems like it has a sound that I've really been after really dark grungy sound compared to everything else. Funny how it works sometimes with having expensive guitars but playing the cheapest one most!

    I've always been a humbucker kind of guy. However, in my last band we were doing songs that needed a brighter sound so I started playing single coil guitars. And I'm hooked. Not that I don't dig the humbuckers but been finding the strats and teles comfortable. However, my Yamaha SG is still my go to instrument. Whenever I pick it up, I'm reminded what an amazing instrument it is. Also totally dig my PRS. It's just so comfortable to play and sounds great.

    Between my Fender American Pro Deluxe II Tele, my Squier Classic Vibe Tele (lipstick pickup), and Kramer Special, Squier and Kramer get the most workout. As much as I love the Fender Pro Deluxe, there is something magical about the Squier…so easy to play, and the versatility is unreal…I can achieve every tone that suits me, from Country to Metal, and everything in between. The Kramer is just genuinely fun to play, and appeals to my 80’s hair/hard rock instincts. Great video, as always, Robert!

    100%. I've been fortunate to build a bit of a collection and they are all out on the walls. I have a couple favorites but even those I don't gravitate towards consistently. I have some that will sit there for months for one reason or another, I'll decide I should just sell it, then I pick it up to make sure it's all clean and tuned and think "Man, I forgot how great this guitar sounds". And back on the wall it goes. LOL. Whether it's a mood I'm in, a feel I want, a tone I'm searching for, or just a different tuning I need for a song, I can love or hate any one of my guitars on any given day.

  • @russk1971
    @russk1971 Před 10 měsíci +1

    I agree... I am a tone chaser. Whatever sound I seek, calls for that guitars voice. Bright twang is the 78 Tele. Dark and heavy is the hellraiser. 80's mid scooped bar dives is the J Custom. 70's rock and jazz rhythms is the H150.

    I feel that, for me (for me) it has a design flaw. The spring cavity is too short. I play 8's and it was horrible trying to get it setup because I could not get the tension to adjust with the room that was available. I ended up buying other springs, cutting them in half and removing the spring claw and screwing in the springs right into where the claw was directly. Other guitars I have have a longer spring cavity and I have no issues with them. Rant over.

  • @saschacaster
    @saschacaster Před 10 měsíci +4

    It's a real good topic. Personally, I played strats for years, but now since I'm owning a PRS CE24 it became my go to guitar for live shows. It does everything I need. Of course, the strat has more stratness, but: The PRS sounds original...there are millions of strat players out there...and the sound repeats over and over again. So why not using something different? I'm in the PRS zone now, I know, but I totally think that it's nice to have a choice. When I'm in the mood I pick another guitar...why not using the Duesenberg for a show? Or my Blade from the 90's? In the end it's all about emotions, feelings, mood...it's music. But I fell in love with the PRS because it just sounds different (and great).

  • @TimHuff5
    @TimHuff5 Před 10 měsíci

    Yeah, I think you nailed it. I have 27 in Guitar‘s, Gibson, Fender, PRS, EVH, everything, and I just kind of rotate around. I mean I have an original 57 strat. That is my go to favorite. My wife bought it for me so that’s my go to, but I do go through times when, you just got to switch out. It does give you a different perspective. It gives you a different feel, you know I’m an old-school 62-year-old guitar player and you know I play a lot of classic rock, blues, and play a lot of new stuff and sometimes you just know you gotta get the right guitar to get that right groove. BTW I love your lessons, I learned from an old blues player named Curly Barefoot Miller, and mostly self taught. Your classes are making me a more technical player. I am trying to start writing some songs, just for fun, and I am gaining so much more knowledge that I am breaking old patterns. I don’t know if I sound better but, I know I am playing better!

    Would love to hear your thoughts on a Duo Jet. Also would love to just hear one played in your rock style. I had a CE24 and a CE22 but sold both after having a Silver Sky and a Fiore for a while. I wasn’t a fan of the pickups in either CE. Like you alluded to, just too tame and controlled. Not good at sounding raunchy. I like guitars that can rip faces off but also sound beautiful when you want them to.

    I have 5 guitars hanging in my bedroom, mainly for different tunings so I can jump from random songs while practicing with my amp and pedals and not have pause to retune. I keep a guitar stand out in my living room for quiet practice while watching tv and rotate the guitars each week so they get played consistently and I can get use to the different bodies and necks...I noticed a long time ago that if I stuck with one for too long and then switch to another it took me a long time to adjust to the differences. This has worked a lot with that haha.

    happens the same to me. Earlier this year was really playing Strats and single coil. Now havent touched my single coil guitars for a couple of onth. Although played the tele the other day and damn it plays and sounds good.
    Im now in a kind of humbucker but more vintage kind of tone. So my eastman, p90 prs and my DGT also all work really well there. And just got a Singlecut S2 PRS that came with higher output pickups, but got some ver PAF style humbuckers and hoepfully next week will be ready and very interested to see how it will work out and how different and similar will sound to my eastman (and to the les pauls I had before).

My favourite for sound is the Strat, but then again🤔. So you are right, it's exactly as you say, it's how you feel at that moment. The Slash Les Paul may stay hanging a bit longer than the others because it weights a ton. Great work again Rob, love your videos'

  • @the_hippykiller22
    @the_hippykiller22 Před 10 měsíci

    I'm the same, even my "best" guitars aren't always the most played. It all comes down to what guitar inspires me at the moment, what tuning I use, and what I'm doing musically. One of my guitars gets played each week since it's at my rehearsal space, and when I gig I use the guitar that "belongs" to that band as a main. For my main band it's a 2010 ESP Horizon FRII, but for example at the moment I'm filling in live for another band so I use my 94 ESP MII. Playing metal means a lot of different tunings and those guitars "belong" to those bands partly for that reason too. But recording in studios is fun 'cause I bring in a lot of gear and get to play a lot of it!

  • @BrentAdams
    @BrentAdams Před 10 měsíci

    I play through my guitars All The Time! I have favorites at different times, yes, but..... I lean toward "double cut-away" guitars very heavily. I'm not into "Twang", but did make my own "double cut" T-Style guitar (mine is a little tamer sound...and I stuck a humbucker in the middle position with a 5 way switch). I do play my PRS SE guitars a little more (had a Core McCarty....gave it to my son!) than others, but again it depends on what I'm working on at the moment!

    I feel the same Robert. Most of my guitars are Custom shop, Fenders and Gibson.But when I play my Gibson LP standard, I say. What does this guitar have, what my CS does not have, the same for y Gibson Studio which also has its particualar sound. One of my first guitars is a Squier strat model 50.
    This is the guitar which I play ALWAYS, after have played a CS. It has the best neck in MY hands. By far the most easy guitar to play,still everything stock and sounds amazing, I never get tired of that sound.

I also have a Schecter JCZ ( the dude from 7 Dust signature) that has an adjustable bridge. I bought used, and it was really abused, but it has a beautiful feel to it, and is a quality piece. As i recover, I'm looking forward to buying a PRS or an Ibanez. Ive never had an Ibanez that no matter what price range didn't play really well. I don't know tech stuff on guitar building, but i know what feels good in my hands. Also, I'm a Telecaster fan, so I might buy one of those when the $ is there to do it. Thanks for doing these, because I think we all get in moods for different guitars, or we wouldn't have more than one. ✌️❤️🤘🎸

They look great and well built, but i just didn't like the necks or pickups.

    I own 3 PRS guitars. A Custom 24, 22, and a single cut. All S2s. They play great and stay in tune, but they have a low mid thing that equates to mud. You can dial it out a bit with the amps setting but then every other type of guitar that normally sound great (Strats, Tele, Les Paul, SG, 335) all sound horrendous when you do that. And even when you dial in to the PRS it’s still a bit dull in character. I don’t know if I should just abandon the idea of them, trade them in for a core model, or swap out the pickups and possibly the wiring harnesses ( go 50s) to open them up and balance them out.
    Any advice?

It’s really a bad thing because I find that when I play one I haven’t played in a long time I play something different on it. Kind of inspires me to do a different thing. I bought a squier tele just to see if I’d like playing one because it was only about $130. I do all my own guitar setups and fret work so I did a little level on it cleaned up the edges grabbed a set of pickups from Stew Mac and it sounds and plays pretty darn good! One of these days I’m going to pickup a higher end tele. They’re really fun to play!

I've owned several core PRS guitars, but never played them out for fear of nicking my $4500 purchase. I still have GAS but feel that what I have provides what I need tonally.

Now I've got that guitar mounted, headless, in my dad's home studio. We glued it back on and got a couple more years of playing out of it unitl it gave out again.. Now it's a cool art peiece that reminds me of starting to play electirc. That was my only one for a while, but now I basically daily drive a Schecter C-1+ I play mostly metal and I love how it feels and sounds. But I also go through phases where I'll be playing my acoustic or a nylon string for a while. Also depends on if theres any gigs coming up and what I'm pracitcing for.. But for fun.. yeah daily driver, year round I basically just stick with the one guitar that holds my heart.. until a new piece of gear comes and takes it's place for me. Such is life. Wabi sabi.

    Since I got my first PRS ,a SECU24, in 2017 my other guitars mostly just sit, and more PRS guitars have shown up on my wall. I like all the guitars I own, but SECU24, CE24-08 semi-hollow, or my 2017 Core Custom 24 are the ones I reach for the most. Something about the way they sound and the way they play just puts a smile on my face and makes me want to play them more. Still happy to have my LP , EC-1000, and a few nice Floyd equipment guitars from the 80s. They all offer a different feel and bring out different aspects of my playing. If I could only have one guitar, it would probably be my Custom 24. Wide range of tones, and it plays so good. The CE24-08 would be a close second. Lighter weight and the 24-08 switching is pretty cool.

    I've gone many months...of not touching my 30th Anniversary C24...so I've decided to sell it. I owned a MusicMan Luke that I traded for it...and not a day goes by that i dont regret it. I also bought a MusicMan Axis last year and it made me realize how good the Luke really was. Truly a jack of all trades guitar the Luke is, so I've decided the PRS has to go. EBMM guitars are a somewhat quirky choice, but a choice that really appeals to me. BTW, I picked up an American Professional II Tele last year and modified it with a new harness and circuit to turn it into a Broadcaster circuit with the blend knob. Great. Guitar.

    I have an American Strat, 335, Line Six Acoustic, Martin dreadnought koa, Takamine Jumbo cut away acoustic and a fender jazz base, I have been playing since 1962 as a kid now 73 years old, I have owned many guitars & amps over the years and sold, bartered and traded in order to survive. I have the had the same problem with keeping money in my wallet, I am mainly a rhythm player. I have played blues, country, swing jazz, rock, folk, bluegrass and top 40. I have never worried about the the tone of my electric guitars or amps, I adjust everything to where I think it sounds good for the moment when playing a venue. I worried more about getting paid for the gig or getting enough tip money to eat that night. I am now retired.

    Have the PRS Special semi hollow same color as your DGT, and then recently got the SE DGT. I play the SE a lot more that the special, which I have no idea why. And the special kind of put my Les Paul Standard 50s with P90s in the closet lol. It’s a toss up between my PRSs and my road worn vintera strat I added bareknuckle 63 pickups. Crazy how our brains work as guitar players. Manufacturing these days is so good that it’s literally just “what flavor do I want today?” Not necessarily if one guitar is better than the other

    I totally get what you mean, I prefer the twang raunch sound that you demonstrated. I get that tone from my silver sky se's, but maybe one day I'll get a tele because that sounds great. The gibson also sounds awesome, I'd love that too, but I don't trust the tuning stability of gibsons

    Gotta rotate the crop. Im sure you`ll come back to the DGT for certain things. Its great to have lots of different guitars to inspire you.

    I have just one guitar and go through phases of playing and not playing although I would want to play always. Should I have more guitars?

    The first “expensive” electric i bought with my own money was a 1983.5 black Fullerton two knob strat. Horrible trem, weird layout, but that neck was the best. And after over 22 years, i got a mod shop HSS hardtail, and it was like saying hello to an old friend. I think we all have that ‘one’ guitar we are in love with. But i use mine for writing, so i only have 4 guitars- the strat, a Schecter Devil with EMG’s, an EVH Wolfgang, and a Les Paul tribute loaded with Phat Cat P-90’s. It’s pretty much all i need, and it streamlines my GAS- which we all have to do!!

    After 21 guitars including a PRS and e series strat. I finally settled on my Gretsch 5420 and a Cort source 335. odd choice I know, both have all the twang I'm looking for and more. That Squire sounding pretty fine though, might have to check one out.

    I do understand your situation. I have 14, of which 5 alone are Les Paul's. Plus only a few of mine have the original pickups. Seymour Duncan is your friend here. Or EMG if you don't mind dealing with 9-volt batteries.
