Possibly the most solid lineup of dohickeys I've ever seen
I must say that this is a very nice comment, good day sir
It's pretty liquid to me
Could use a whatchamacallit or two, or maybe a Doodad?
Nice pfp

Maybe the real gimmicky guitar gadget was the friends we made along the way.

Hi paul!!
Guitar-Jo: turns your guitar into a MIDI file
An out of tune MIDI, groundbreaking
How could you not have put the 12 string guitar gadget, into a 12 string, for an 18 string acoustic?
Isn't that 24 strings tho?
Foster - The gadget thing only has 6 strings.
Then play it with the double pick
Science
Jacques Dentist yo... stringception.
the capo should be called:
"ichika nito's left hand"
Really underrated comment
Or Tim Henson's Asian cousin's left hand
Comment of the day right here.
To bad it doesn’t do that weird gameboy vibrato
I was in the comment searching something about Ichika and I'm not dissapointed hahahaja
*When you realize you can play 99% of Green Day songs on a shirt*
Lol true
"Pros: definitely doesn't sound like a banjo" 😂
@@morgothbauglir906 6:13 top left corner
@@morgothbauglir906 nah, can't say I blame you. The comment is pretty easy to misread
Sounds more like a banjo on a cheap keyboard
I feel like he could have taken off the effects or used another guitar and I could have possibly sounded alright
He has so many gadgets, I don't even have a pick
seems like a you problem more or less
use a bottle cap :D
Mark Knopfler doesn't have one either, you're fine.
Cut an old gift card or credit card into a pick. Customize your own shape!
Am I strange for keeping slightly longer fingernails on my right hand in order to never really need one?
It seems to produce a significantly brighter tone with my playing style and I'm not sure if others have fell into the habit of doing the same
I wasn't expecting Sammy G to bust out the Midwest emo with the Chordinero
yeah that was insane
Sounded really good as well!
mario aviles he was probably going for something jazzy and countryish and unknowingly became a math rock god
exactly my thoughts
I'm glad he did tho. I was vibin' to that stuff.
"pros: definitely does not sound like a banjo"
"Cons: definitely does not sound like a banjo"
Banjo players: 😠
It's ok, banjo players won't see this because they can't afford internet.
@@calebangell77 say that but a banjo costs more than some American guitars .
@@Secretfiles999 that's why they can't afford internet
@@calebangell77 unless you buy a pawn shop banjo............
least heard phrase in music, "Is that really the banjo player's Ferrari"?
If the Guitar-Jo actually sounds more like a Sitar..
Isnt it a Guitar-Tar then?
Tur-Tur- Key-Key
Mini-Minotaur-taur
I believe it would be more of a SitGuit
Sit-Tuar
@@dwvcollection He is allergic to Guitar-tar sauce
The real question is what happens if you put the first gadget on a 12 string and play it with the Doble pick some episodes ago
A black hole is created
Nono, the real question is how many can you put on one guitar
We need this video.
These are important questions
String spacing would be weird maybe.
Although the guitar-jo doesn't sound like a banjo, I still enjoy the funky tone it produces. Also, that variable capo looks and sounds amazing!
Antlereddruid patreon?
It kinda sounds like a sitar

I was ecstatic when I saw that HARPAD 12-string converter. I wanted one right then and there, but then I heard how expensive it was. almost $400 for that? I’ll just buy an actual 12-string guitar for that price... might be useful if you want to transform your J-45 into a 12-string or something but for lower-budget players such as myself, that’s not worth it. I mean, why even is it so expensive? It’s a big piece of plastic with strings on it, why would it cost that much?
Same
I went to the website and I have no clue how to even buy it... then again I'm not really tech savvy, considering I spent 90% my life in a house without internet
Are you sure that's plastic?
It's probably not mass-produced, and it has to be really strong to withstand strings at tension, especially when it's so thin and oddly shapped - string tension could easily snap something like that in half.
The 2nd gadget the capo is actually quite cool and seems like the natural proggression of the capo. Nice one
That Guitar-Jo reminds me more of the Electric Sitar than a banjo.
3:32 MidWest Emo bands are already buying these in bulk.
Guitar George? I've heard that he knows all the chords
clever
Strictly rhythm though
I don't think he could afford any of these gadgets anyway.
Mind, it's strictly rhythm.
@@dr.8553 he can only afford an old guitar
"If you want a banjo sound, buy a banjo."
"practical problems need practical solution's"
"If you want a banjo sound, buy a banjo."
Exactly the reason I don't own a banjo! :)
I prefer gizmos to gadgets and doohickeys. I'm a snob that way.
I would definitely buy the Harpad. As someone who has a nice 6 string acoustic and only has a few songs written for 12 strings, being able to attach that accessory instead of buying another guitar for those few songs is a great value.
“I have it set to an amaj7 let’s see what happens”
*becomes rob scallion*
*becomes midwest emo*
Finally! I can 0-3-5 with a t-shirt. That thing definitely djents
Since it's got a little amp, can you hook up a distortion pedal to the shirt, I wonder?
@@devenscience8894 imagine turning up to a gig with this and your pedalboard
Why is nobody talking about how cool the submarine pickup was?! That delay effect was crazy
The Guitar-jo sounds kinda like a sitar. It's certainly a *cool* sound, even though it sounds nothing like a banjo. The Chordinero and Harpad are both pretty cool, too.
Guitar-jo could be made ta a guitar-si
Imagine being new to guitar and looking up a tab that was played using a chordinero
A two handed tapping lick

I NEED MORE MIDWEST EMO SOUNDS FROM SAMMY G
Yes

8:57 - when you learn Dammit by blink-182 and think you're the next guitar hero
That submarine pickup, if it was made well, would be a good idea on your low strings through an octave and then into a separate bass amp. I knew a local 2 piece band where the guitarist did that to good effect only he didn't have the extra pickup to selectively choose the bass strings.
But it’s not yellow
I was completely surprised by the 12 string thing and the capo thing. I was expecting both of them to be completely useless pure gimmicks and they turned out to be pretty cool actually.
Thank you!
The Guitar-jo sounds more like a sitar than a banjo. Would be cool to hear it with some reverb and delay to see if you could replicate the sound.
I actually went to school with the brother of the guy who invented the guitar-Jo. We were in community college and he asked me to try it out and give them a detailed review on it. I didn't do it because I was wwaaayyy too stoned to commit to do anything at that time but it's funny to see it on this video, I had forgotten about that
Midwest Emo Sammy G is the coolest thing I have heard this week.
The banjo thing almost sounds like a sitar.
This is the fastest i have ever clicked on a video
I second this
I ordered 2 submarine pickups and they took the money and did not deliver.
Lmao
Bro if u use two of them, that's just a normal pickup
@@austinmolitor7283 When the first one wasn't delivered I asked for refund. They told me they're sorry and I should order another one "for free"... When the second one wasn't delivered, they didn't respond anymore...
Sounds like they've gone silent.
You’re not missing much. I bought a submarine pro and it’s a bit craptastic. Really poorly made and nowhere near as useful as you’d think.
the guitar-jo just sounds like those isolated guitar/vocal tracks on youtube that just eq and noise gate a song in audacity.
the guitar shirt, however, will always have a special place in my heart because i had a really similar one when i was like 6 or 7
8:41 at least we now know that the Guitar Shirt allows you to play a power chord version of Beatles "Let it Be"
5:02 Sounds like a mix of a steel drum and a sitar
I legitimately think I want that capo. I could play stuff that sounds like open tunings live without having to retune or bring a second guitar.
Also that submarine joke lmao
I have the spyder capo, which is a similar beast. Honestly, it takes less time and fiddling to just retune my guitar.
That submarine pickup is the winner- no contest. Brilliant idea.
This was great.
I’ve never been so happy to see guitar gadgets reviewed.
I’ve...
...I’ve never been happy.
my teacher: no you cant just watch youtube during the online class
me: guitar goes brrrrrrr
I feel this
I don't
I do
Bruh this is exactly what I'm doing rn....
@@monkeh3925 hahahaha me too
7:40 whoa whoa slow down, i didnt get to take a bong rip before u start trippin me out
That third hand capo and submarine pickup are amazing. The capo alone looks like it could re-enable amputees who once played with two to get back into it.
That delay submarine pickup demo was pretty neat
0:53 Of course it's not for cutting trees, it's for cutting steel!
I just saw you on sparkle mountain. It's nice to see you made it back alive.
8:20 its beautiful, I've looked at this for 5 hours now
i was kinda hoping he would play a green day song on the shirt...
I'VE COME UP WITH THE BEST NAME FOR THAT BANJO DEVICE THINGAMY DOOHICKY-MABOB.
are we ready?
Banj-no
You're welcome.
No thank you
@@coconut_milk7167 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👌💯🖖✌

"let's see what kind of beautiful music I can make with this shirt"
I've been doing it all wrong my entire life.
That Amaj7 diddy from the super capo was really, really nice.
man i may not love the content on these videos but i always enjoy listening to this guy talk, he just seems like a chill ass dude, nice guy.
The Guitar-Jo sounds like a Steel Drum in a Guitar Shape.
I'm a student and nobody has any idea when we're gonna go back to school, very confusing, I'm scared.
Same dude it's really terrifying. I've got to go back in 2 weeks and I'm really not looking forward to it. Must be even worse not knowing when your going back. Good luck tho.
@@ollie1704 i was very lucky to finish school this year - now i don't have to worry about going back to school but am i moving out? am i going to uni? am i getting a job? AAAAAAAAA
At least you have a nice Silver Sky to keep you warm
My college classes are online now... :(
@@darthvader2994 good luck dude!!!
only issue i could see with the Chordinero is playing the frets right near the 'capo'd' strings, as this could get in the way, but i agree when i used one it was amazing highly recommend
i just found this channel and i love how dry the humor is. good stuff
this time, all of them are cool... specially the 12 string maker and the shirt
Thank you! We have just started and our goal is to reduce the price. Stay tuned for our coming crowdfunding campaign :D
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand 🚧⛽️🚈🚈🚥🚆🪝✈️
Pretty sure I could just put a couple of paper towels stuffed under the strings for a better version of that "banjo" sound.
6:03 I died from the review. Holy shit haha
Well done! Short, entertaining, and the gadgets were cool and interesting
7:28 ddlc bgm
Anyone else just really likes learning some of the chord patterns or riffs/licks he plays in these videos?
It's great to see you Sammy G
Thank you for covering so many useful ones that I genuinely want to check out
I’m so happy there’s a new episode!!
I'd say the guitar jo makes the guitar sound more like a sitar.
3:22 Samuraiguitarist discovers math rock/midwest emo
Great episode I loved all of these
I just wanna say, nice playing. I especially liked the pieces you played on the butterscotch tele with the capo
I have the t shirt,, played enter sandman , freaked out everyone..lol..
I love the gadget series.
6:57 It’s too great of a product, therefore, it shall be removed from the... “Star Platinum The World!”
*I’m dead now*
Man, the best really awesome vid keep them coming!!!
I'm a senior in high school. I can confirm, we are indeed, Back in School.
I hope your senior year goes better than mine did.
The guitar jo sound more like a banjo and sitar crossover to me
Absolutely the best yet of this series! So happy you did this cause it made my day. I always look forward to your content Thank You!
I wish good health and all the best to you and yours!
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand 🚧⛽️🚈🚈🚥🚆🪝✈️
I would like to hear more of that snippet you played while testing the 12 string mod.
Simply guitar ads are the bane of my existence
Why didn’t they name the 12 strings conversion the guitarp?!?!!?
Because we didn't think about that :D Good name! Will take this with us when the next version comes. Stay tuned for our crowdfunding campaign!
I could see the submarine being cool with a ton of practice.
I loved that first lick with the capo!!
The Guitar-jo sounds like an electric Sitar actually.
I waited for the return of this! Always loved these, they are so interesting.
On the GuitarJo subject...I have heard Guitar George is George Young, Angus and Malcolms big brother. When I was young for some reason I thought it was reference to Beatles Harrison I didn't get...because his guitar weeps,so gently.
That's a great bunch reviews, I was brought here for the submarine. Keep up the good work.
Thank u for being my guitar teacher
The guitar-jo sounds like a guitar-no
I was tempted to skip through you're video and find something that would call to me personally but then watched the whole video and realized I want all of these cool gadgets after you presented them so well. Great vid thanks dude!
That beats the spider capo! Really cool. So many options. You could put those pegs going opposite direction as well
The banjo one sounds like last train home by pat metheny group
But wouldn’t the 12 string thing have different thickness for each string would it be weird with all kind of messed up strings
sometimes 12 strings just double the strings to make the sound a bit thicker, kinda like a chorus
The high string in the courses of a 12 string are an octave higher than standard tuning, so they’re all gonna be super light strings relatively similar if not the same in gauge.
Oooo thanks 😊
No problem
The Guitar-Jo sounded more like a muffled sitar.
Makes me wonder if it's possible to machine saddles that can be switched into sitar mode individually.
I’m really glad your a amazing guitarist because the demonstrations are great and helpful.
The first two gadgets are awesome!
The banjo thingy has the super twangy sound but the electric pickup vibe comes through. Could it maybe work better on an acoustic?
And it's a shame the Submarine has those issues. I read about it a couple of years ago and desperately wanted one but it was not sold on any store that shipped to Ecuador. I ended up getting the same effect plugging my guitar through a crossover out to two preamps. Here's a test recording of that setup in case somebody wants to check how it sounds:
czcams.com/video/eUCOXtLij7A/video.html
I started school today and I'm doing online. I'm not complaining cause I prefer online anyway!
7:04 I gotta admit, it is indeed pretty cool to be able to accompany yourself by putting distortion on only the "rhythm strings". Unfortunately, it's not good distortion
Great video. I liked the pros of the banjo gadget. Funny
