Can we take a minute and appreciate the fact that he's not only makes beautiful guitars, but also plays great on them.
I dunno. Was it? I didn't bother watching .
@@banjopink4409 then why do bother commenting? Doesn't make any sense
@@banjopink4409 that's what I'm asking you
Yeah so often I watch a guitar builder on youtube and then they play and it's a g chord that sounds slightly out of tune and then a D chord with fingers half pressed onto the frets.
So talented
Sometimes, after dozens of failed attempts, the CZcams algorithm just gives you a pure gold nugget.
every couple thousand videos there's a good one
The legends are true!
But i like diamond nugget
Hell yeah!
agreed
I don’t get why people would hate on this, it’s _clearly_ amazing.
It's on the more impressive side...for a DIY project,...but if you are knowledgeable on lutherie, you cant help but to cringe a little when you give his craftsmanship a closer look. I wouldn't hate on it, but I understand that some people don't like it.
Coz they can't do whatever he can.
@Guynemer certainly more than you think,...and people who have an eye for detail.
@Guynemer Whatever you say pal,...if someone doesn't like what you like, he has issues. Got it.
@Guynemer btw,...you are talking outside your expertise "ha Ha". Good bye.
"gonna go ahead and play a demo right now"
***casually starts playing a masterpiece**
didn't expect that
Apparently describing what happens in the video is considered funny nowadays
@@donramonv4989 I know. I can't stand it. I feel old being the only one who hates the trend of stating the obvious as comedy now
@@donramonv4989
I don't think that's meant to be a joke but literally saying that in his part he was casually playing while to us it's a masterpiece
For me, this is your best piece. So clean. You can see the confidence coming through now in your work and it really is exemplary.
Robin Romei it’s c l e a r l y his best piece lol
Are you talking about the guitar or the loop at the end?? ;)
I agree with this comment 100%
@@aidenchizinya3840 I think both, am i right?
Robin Romei..So So So k ille r .
Oh man, imagine the stage lights passing through the guitar... I wanna have this so badly
im in the want mode for clear gibson sg body...nick the bits off a copy..?
Now imagine frusciante or hillel playing it... during a "sock" show lmao
@@beersnarkunbleached5660 LOL i said the exact same thing on @Grennoc 's comment
Then stick led in it
well if you want it just make it
The best part of these videos is the ending. I could listen to him play for hours!
What song is he playing? I need to learn how to play it
@@drdyno_ desc: "this song is made up" shame.
They had us in the first half ngl
Such a tasty little jam
No joke the piece at the end, although it’s made up, gets stuck in my head all the time ever since I first watched this video. Something about the melody is so distinct and memorable, I love it
I've come back to rewatch it so many times.
I wish he’d release it as a single. I’ve come back to this video so many times over the years, that ending just makes me feel something
Same here the music is beautiful
What genere of music would it be
"Clearly" this man knows what he's doing.
Buh-dum, tssss
Clearly......well words. U deserve a like from me
Yeah I know right. It also has a clear sound
Pain🤠
Your joke is so _transparent._
That song at the end was hands down a beautiful solo
So dam good it deserves a full length version! PLEASE!! :O
No kidding..
Musician here...PLEASE...PLEASE! Please give it a full length version. I am captivated with your music. BEAUTIFUL!
Amie Tiger that was mesmerizing.
@@philippbaumann1984 I made an extended edit on my channel :D
"I can play clearly now, the rain is gone."
Not funny didn't laugh
bib bob i did laugh at your name though 😂😂 tf is a bib bob
I thought it was pretty funny
that is a sentence to use in a song ;)
I guess the plane's down in Africa.
I replayed the song at the end like 20 times... Not even joking, 20 times. You’re doing life right, you deserve everything CZcams can offer you and more. Good luck to you!
Dumb Question; Is it even possible to make a “glow in the dark” guitar?
I feel like that would look pretty dope
Anything is possible of you use your imagination. Imaginaaaaaatiooooon!
It’s really easy, you just have to pour phosphorescent paint into the epoxy. Making the guitar itself is the greater challenge :D. Some guitars have phosphorescent fret markers on the side of the neck, so you can see it even in the dark.
Of course it's possible.
Yeah there's glow in the dark paint.
clear epoxy with phosphorus powder mixed in
I like that this guy is just showing his craft in an efficient and humble manner without even showing his face and doing unnecessary things.
Like a certain maker from the US who stamped his name on just about anything and everything!
Check out My Mechanics...similar. Tool restoration porn,
@@gradeez who?
Storm ok I prefer if someone to put their name or signature on their craft
He’s especially great because his intros are never longer than a minute. Those long intros where they talk about crap that isn’t even relevant are so annoying.
Next project: A clear epoxy guitar with optical fibres to glow in the dark.
Sick idea
:-0
@@tmac305 yeah!
Just use neo-pixel then you can program them to do effects!
A friend and I have been (very slowly) building guitars the last year. The inspiration came from your epoxy resin river guitar video. I always had an interest in building guitars, I even tried building one in high school and never finished the project. But after seeing your videos I realized that the world of guitar building is pretty limitless and that was the biggest motivating factor to give it another try. Thank you for exploring your curiosities and documenting it for us.
I was not ready for that demo. It needs to become a real song.
Damn right... That piece is pretty awsome considering he only "made it up"
This kid's like a clone of Mark Knopfler.
Let me get a drum set and play along. He needs to form a band. This is Smooth Jazz
This should be the top comment.
Project Arjun I kept hearing a soft brushing
“Next I built a guitar that glows in the dark”
what a great idea!
How original
And died a week later from radium poisoning! lolz! 💀
Or how about a guitar that has a rattle snake or scorpions, flowers Etc. in the clear epoxy . There's a girl in New York i think that preserves pizza slices in clear epoxy she did a slice of a twenty thousand dollar pizza that had gold shavings on it. Awesome Guitar nice tone too.
Honestly Id like to see that.
his music at the end was so soothing I almost fell asleep
Why did he have to stop playing, I could have listened to that for hours - Fantastic guitar, fantastic tune!
please make your own music dude,the music was so damn relaxing and i want it more
I posted an edited version (2x as long) on my yt page :)
Sophia I loved it my dude. Never a fan of clean guitar or guitar itself but this was it!!
Sophia heyy thanks! Don't delete it or don't make it private
Bro honestly. They always are amazing at the end. He puts out vibes
Yes, I totally agree. I'd like to hear more of your music too.
can i have it?! lol
Lol
no checkmark
My man only has 10 likes
lol
How does e just simply ignore Jared Dines? 😂
That sounds awesome, what a sweet sounding guitar, well done ! All the hard work was worth it
Back again just to listen to this 6:45
Same brooo
@Grand Admiral Thrawn he came up with it, there’s no song title
Burls Art - you need to redo that demo at the end as a whole song. 10/10 would buy it
I love that song in the end, please build that up into a proper song
Was it improv?
@@PhilipSalisbury description just says "made up"
@@yeahokayyy ok thanks. That's pretty daum good than
I want it on spotify lol
@@matte6008 Notify me when its on spotify okay
I did not want that ending jam to end. Just amazing man. Amazing talent and great guitar.
wow. fell in love with this guitar the moment it came out of the mould... so beautiful. and I am so surprised the talent this guy has got, he can make the instruments and also play it so beautifully, so blessed...
I wish I could make a guitar in 8 minutes
I wish I could super like this comment
Dude i wish i could make a guitar at all
arham_ dude I wish I could at least play my guitar that’s been in my closet for months:(
It doesn’t take him 8 minutes to make it smh🤦♀️
My mum says I’m cool 98 bruh he was joking
6:40 for people who came back again and again for the music
do you know the music name?
Doesn’t have a name because it only exists in this video
Man its an amazing melody
Man its an amazing melody
i repeat this melody one time, and a thousand times more...
I absolutely love the neck on this guitar. The grain of the wood looks beautiful, and the clear looks flawless
Sometimes, I just come back to this video for that ending. Sublime!!!
All in vote (with the like button) to release a full instrumental of the song at the end!
pleaseeeeeee
seriously, it's beautiful
Do you really care or do you just want likes🙄
Sebastian Elytron i really like vibe songs
Sebastian Elytron so no not for likes but definitely for the song
It looks gorgeous but I can only imagine how yellow it will become in the future
Alex La Rosa even better
UV Resistant Epoxy! At least it should be, time will tell. None of my other epoxy guitars have yellowed though I do keep them out of direct sun light just in case.
Well, in case they get yellow, he can re polish them. He can do that infinitely until the guitar becomes a micro guitar.
I dunno you can not play that much outside unless you are into gigs or something
holy shit alex it's been ages
Simply awesome. The guitar look, its sound, and that chilling song. Nice job!
plays one of the most epic guitar chords and just walks off at the end like it was noting, it was so good man I love your work!
What if u made a see through honeycomb body with liquid inside each of the honeycombs. That’d be cool idk
Curious to see how it would affect the tone
@@achannel1818 electrics get no effect from cavities in the body like acoustics.
@@vaelophisnyx9873 They do. That's why semi acoustics and jazz guitars sound different. Even chambered Les Paul's sound a bit different. The vibrations of the body affect how the strings vibrate also
@@achannel1818 Not at all. The whole tone discussion is bullshit when it comes to electric guitars. I've seen electric guitars made paper, pencils, cast iron, all kinds of wood, resin, pvc, polyester, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, mixed metals, nails, concrete, bricks, basalt, glass, plastic rain pipes, shovels, a car wheel and many more. With or without body. Remarkable they all sound very good. One has a little more sustain than the other, but thats all there is. With electric guitars it comes down to the quality of the pick ups, and probably mostly about how it is set up. The build materials dos not matter at all.
@@jpsholland both opinions are kind of true , the mass of the body does alter the sound of the guitar , like more sustain ect. but tbh i´d rather have an electric guitar made out of shitty wood with kick ass pickups than a guitar made of the best tone wood with the shittiest pickups . it all plays together somehow . but the cavatie thing with liquid inside would look dope . but i kinda doubt that a honeycomp pattern with liquid for each chamber might be possible just because of the expansion of the liquid when temparature changes ... but one cavity like the wavecaster of kirk hammet or john 5 would look so fucking nice :D
I don’t think I have ever been so disappointed at a CZcams video ending. That demo needs to make its way onto iTunes or something.
Great build on the guitar too.
Lol
@Burls Art this is so inspirational! You build some sweet guitars man! This has to be one of my favorites!
I love your channel, so cool to watch you build all of those cool guitar creations.
The clear is cool don’t get me wrong, but that neck!😱
For real. That’s a gorgeous neck
haha, I was thinking the same thing. That neck is awesome.
On another note, that whale blue though 😮
@@m.k.mcgill the neck is gorgeous, I've only seen figuring like that on super high end guitars. He does amazing work.
What’s the name of the wood? How much does it cost tho?
Burl's Art, our favorite ASMR channel
There's nothing amsr about this channel lol
So cool... Builded a couple epoxy guitars 15 years ago.. i loved using that stuff... Whish i had working place at my home..
I remember seeing a clear lucite Ampeg guitar in the early 70s that was, for me, the coolest guitar that I had ever seen. Your guitar brought back some very fine memories.
God I can't get over your pedal mixing, bro. That all came so naturally.
Come for the build , stay for the music
I expected him to start playing smoke on the water or something like that... this is my first time seeing this mans channel, and holy crap! That song was pretty damn good!
The song at the end is beautiful! The whole guitar is amazing!! Good job👏
"Next, I build a guitar out of guitar picks"
thats the most ıllegal thıng to make lmao
@@panic007 how about build a bass out of guitar picks😂😂
@@alexeiprodigy7948 or a bass out of bass(fish)?
@@sybelleesguerra6635 no
No you would lose it
Guitar center employee: what’s your favorite type of body wood?
Burls art: epoxy
I like the transparency of your guitar building instructions. Very clear.
Beautiful craftmanship, love the attention to detail, that neck is absolutely stunning
If you make another resin guitar, make one with a “guitar skeleton” and maybe organs too.
THAT WOULD BE SO FUCKIN COOL
i love that idea
This is an amazing idea!
that might affect the acrostics
maybe with animal bone and organs i mean if ancient civilization could make tools and instrument with animals bone and organs why can't he?
7:00 i think i'm in heaven... 🖤
gay
cottton™ are you implying that the song is sexually attracted to members of its own gender, or that this comment is?
@@kipperthedog789 nah bro they clearly mean gay as in happy oof
cottton™ damn, you’re fragile lmao
@@CottonInDerTube Congratulations for finally coming out of the closet
I love watching your builds they are so unique and unlike anything else I’ve seen
I ran across this video once again.. I watched a few months back but had to view it again.. Great job building it.. Love the looks and the sound of this.. Wish I one of those... love it...
your playing at the end really ... resin-ates with me
im sorry
If you were really sorry you wouldn't have posted it!!!! :>)
Clearly :0)
*You have sinned*
No, you're not sorry ...
Your reply is so transparent and I see through it all clearly lol
I can't get over how good the neck looks. Great job, looking forward to seeing videos on future projects!
One of my favorite demos hands down.
I would love to hear an extended version of that song. It’s pure fire.
6:45 is the part you came for
thank me never, thank Burls Art for this gold
@Grand Admiral Thrawn It's an original by him, just composed on the spot. Jam session.
Got that John Meyer vibe though.
Yeah
I would love something like this, filled with various spiders or butterflies, like one of those entomology shadow box displays, or when you see a scorpion encased in Lucite. Imagine a clear guitar filled with scorpions.
Awesome.
badass.
well thats a next level
I would love one that looked like Amber with bugs and reptiles stuck inside. Even include some air bubbles for authenticity
I really dig the jam sessions at the end of these man, wish you just had uploads of just those. Good stuff.
It has its own unique, personal color of sound and it looks amazing... Really awesome job bro!
God bless CZcams for randomly putting this on my feed.
I'd love to see a bass guitar made in this style, too.
Man, I love the ending soundtrack, I would love it if you put these out as a mini EP or something.
Booby McNaulty is that an existing song?
What song is it
That'd be great indeed! Or maybe even put them online as samples for the producers out there!
The guitar sound is really amazing and it's really clear
A real craftsmen and artist! Hats off to you. Thanks for sharing. The transparency really adds another dimension to the eyes.
Who else is hoping this turns into a successful business?
I would buy that guitar if I could afford it. That would be a guitar that would make learning how to play worth it.
They already make these, and the sound is supposed to be as perfect as you can get (still under debate).
Painkiller Jones I mean him as Brand.
To be fair, this has already turned into a successful business. Almost 400k subs on CZcams by making guitars is awesome as hell.
Not if the body mold is from a copyrighted guitar.
This dude is single-handedly going to spark the "Tone Resin" debate
The what now?
I think the Dan Armstrong lucite guitars did that many years ago. It seems to me that a body made of such uniform material makes for a sound without many overtones, which makes a lot of sense. The guitar player from my old band had one, and it sounded good with fuzz or distortion, but a little bland for cleaner stuff. The bass versions make more sense, as it's a very pure note.
@@robin_holden The Dan Armstrong lucite has some wicked one for sure! I worked at a guitar store for a few years played a lot of guitars and it was one of the few that I was sure a lot of tone came from the body.
I'm pretty sure I've seen the Rolling Stones Keith Richards playing a Dan Armstrong clear bodied guitar. Think it was shaped like a Gibson SG.
@@markmiwurdz202 The Dan Armstrongs were all double cutaways, more similar to a Les Paul double cutaway. SGs are more pointy, the Dan Armstrongs are quite rounded. He did wood ones too, with a single sliding pickup for constantly variable tone.
I really enjoyed the song at the end
That's a really nice guitar, very unique. Great craftsmanship and talent.
Imagine if he titled it “I Built a Clear Guitar Out of Ice” everyone’d be all “wtf”
Yeah right haha lol fun
1 day later, becomes pile of water with pickups
I wish the song at the end of the video lasted forever.
BLAHHOOGIE it has that quality about it, huh?
I love just how nonchalant you are. Many CZcams guitar builds are multi episode epics, using thousands of dollars of tools and detailed discussions about material and design choices. Yet, you seem to be able to knock a stunning guitar out without much fanfare in less than ten minutes in your garage, including a tasteful demo that doesn't include any 'Guitar Olympics' shredding nonsense. I know these videos are heavily edited compilations of the entire process and I'm in no way criticising either what you do or make, you're obviously very skilled. It's just refreshing to see someone so understated in a world where hype has overtaken content in a lot of ways.
Sounds great. Love the playing.
That slow shot at 3:36 is EPIC. Well done sir...I always get a nice boost to my day when I see one of your videos.
You should totaly create a second Channel with more Improvisations like the one at the end, it was super calming ☺️
Right on man. I honestly didn't expect to see you make your own fret board and all--very cool. 1st vid I've seen of yours due to YT recommendations. Happy to sub and see some of your work man!
Very nice work :) Thanks for sharing. It all comes out quite clear at the end while you play- the love for music is quite apparent
You should get your own NAMM booth man. You make incredible stuff.
there is these guitar at NAMM that looked all amazing but sounds nothing like this handmade epoxy guitar.
HAM?
@@Shinkajo its like e3 or comic con for musicians
Would you ever consider turning the made up song into a real song? It's gorgeous.
I'd pay for it!
Aren't all "real" songs, made up? :)
@@jk12324 Not in every instance. Also it says that in the description.
@@pangolothian I don't get what you mean though and I don't think you get what I mean either. To me, a song is a song, there is no 'real' or 'fake'. Someone came up with all song in their heads at some point, they are all 'made up' by us humans.
My headache disappeared after watching this. This video is just pure clear and nice quality, just like the guitar you made here.
You made our day with both vids, keep it up.
I low key got pissed when he stopped playing
Nah I don't
Nor Priest Shut up clown
@@deanmiyagi6961
I stay disagree with stupid people.
That's how I roll
Nor Priest k clown
Nor Priest you’re legit the worst human being
Polishing the pockets would be a pain, but really help the "see through" look.
Could use a Dremel to get into smaller areas, wouldn't really be much of a pain at all.
Just paint on a thin layer of epoxy to fill the voids and should clear up
Gosh! It sounds so beautiful.
Beautiful guitar, sweet playing and that cutaway is perfect.
I'm not even a guitarist but I'd marry that neck. It looks amazing.
Just wanted to say, I respect the hell out of you man. Your craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall skill is amazing. There's something therapeutic I find when I watch your guitar videos. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful videos with us man. You are truly incredible.
You play beautifully and I love the clear one!
Simply beautiful....you do great work...love the clear guitar....would love to have one of them....
6:45 here's a demo button.
Thank you, idk why i didnt make my own 😅
Do this on all his vids thnx
Jeffrey Horst I legit come here everyday
The music you played totally fits the aesthetic of the guitar. Awesome stuff! One day when I can afford to have a garage/workshop I'm gonna try to make a guitar.
Great job on the guitar build. It looks awesome!
The song he plays on the guitar is AMAZING
imagine being free and being able to play in an open field, life is good
except you don't know how to play :D
@@peacefist4413 ?
Good Day420 no i do
Good Day420 im actually learning from music theory
Just go into a field with a guitar and experience it for yourself. Unless you are in prison, there is no reason you can't.
PLEASE DO A RECODING OF YOUR PIECE AT THE END. I listen to it so meny time I liked an subscribed because of it. Plese make some songs or at least something like what u did at the end of video please !!!
Sam Moe i agree. I would totally buy this song.
I like to have full record of that solo.
Not being rude but it's time ~binx
UNBELIEVABLE so beautiful 😍 this one and the shovel are the best
Wow. Loved the guitar and absolutely loved the music.
