Thanks everyone for nigh on 250,000 views! I think it’s clear from the comments that this was a divisive comparison - I think everyone can appreciate the merits of a good Strat, but the PRS brings something new to the table. What do you think? 😁
I think....you are an incredible player!!!
Jack Griffiths tone is the fingers mate ur playing is sick
I think if I had the money for either one, I'd go with the PRS... There's about 1 billion Strats in the world, Hell of a lot less of those PRS's and I like having unique things. Oh, and it sounds INCREDIBLE. Not that the Fender was ever considered a slouch... I like the way Paul goes about building a guitar. Each one feels special.
I think you bring some delicious juicy playing to the table.
Got held back because of adstorm but this comment stopped me from clicking away
This guy's a killer player
no doubt
Yup. Like his style
Justin Tabor lord of great guitarists out there for example czcams.com/video/s6c18s5j2tg/video.html.
Yes...great tone from his fingers....which are the length of a Madagascan Aye Aye's.
Justin Tabor killer play wank fest!
Came for the guitars comparison, stayed because of the guy's playing.
Marcelo Otero Yes my friend! Hahahahaha
His name is Jack Griffith. He has his own youtube channel.
Yeah... I was just passing through.. but that was some great playing on the demo. I need to steal some of that.
I know right? I’m jamming right now!
Homie....your making me sick....your so killer at your craft! Wish I half the skill you do!
Came for the Olympic White mayer strat ...
Stayed for white hendrix
nice one!
Lmao forreal
Underrated comment
This video is just damn right proof that it's not the guitar- it's the player.
The whole point of this video was to compare guitars but most of the comments are people saying just how damn good this guy is at playing
Player quality and style gives depth to the music but it is a combination of that and the quality of the guitar, contrary to some belief, its NOT all player oriented. This video proves that the Fender definately sounded better in the hands of the same musician.
I agree, I completely forgot about the comparison, i got lost listening to this guy rip it up.
@@dragan4658
I don't think that you can necessarily say that the fender sounded better. That is all preference. You can get a hundred guitar players in one room and they're all going to have different opinions. The fender sounded great, but if you want that deeper mid-range then the silver sky is a much better choice and preference.
@@davidpehrson3707 of course I can say one sounded better over the other as it is my preference, and yes I agree it is a matter of preference, so it sounds we are partially in agreement.
Listen to Tom Quayles reviews. He can fart through a P90 into a broken Berhringer amp and make it sound beautiful.
Only 3 minutes in and I’m ready to quit guitar forever lmao holy shit the skill on this guy
1 minute 30 second's for me 😁😁
Samesies
why do you quit, dont quit, you should be inspired and be determined and challenged
When I was learning guitar. And actually still to this day I would spend hours upon hours listening to other players, slowing down and pausing the video or cd, rewinding, pausing, replaying. When I finally dissected the right notes. I would spend 8-10 hours a day learning how to play them up to speed d and the correct phrasing. The intent. 20 years later I crafted my own sound through taking bits that I learned from various hero’s of mine and am able to play professionally. You should use this person as an opportunity to learn and grow. Not to quit!!
Well, I'm inspired and wanna play like this guy some day, I have a decent amount of speed in my playing(50% of this guys speed) but I can't do improv, I know the scales but whenever I try to do any inprov, I sound terrible.
I bought the PRS and I instantly could play just like John Mayer. Amazing.
Me too brah!!! Neon Neon!!!
Compare 3:30 and 8:00 I hear the Fender winning just a tad IMO. 🤘😎🎸
agreed
Yeeeeep we can pick up the smooth fender signature outhere .
I actually liked the sound of silver sky more.
That's interesting because the sound made me like the strat less actually
Scoop and oomph with fender for the win, the silver sky lacked that clearly.
Guitar comparison aside, this guy is a freakin beast at guitar
This is like comparing the ex with the current girlfriend
I love this guy lol
Usually the x and the new gf are very similar unless we change our personal preferences.
Oh snap, you’re right! 😂
Sometimes you just miss the way your ex used to suck you off. That's why I prefer the Strat.
Except it's ok to play your ex girlfriend and it's not acceptable to play your old guitars. Wait... I think I got that backwards.
Your Hendrix had a unique feel. I gotta practice that some more. Better not “Wait Til Tomorrow.”
Well, ''Are you experienced'' yet?
I just wonder why this guy is making guitar comparisons on CZcams and not playing stadiums for plus 15.000 people? Awesome skills. And feel. He makes me wanna quit guitar forever, and at the same times keeps me up late at night practicing pentatonic scales 🙏🏻👏🏻🎸
Because most people don't like guitar. It's a small percentage of people who like this playing. Most people would rather hear a repetitive computerized electronic beat and lifeless auto-tuned vocals over real art 😞
PRS obvious higher output but the Fender has more personality, more dynamics Fender wins IMO.
I have to agree....you can hear the PRS has a bit more bite and probably range but man that Fender even though it was a bit more balanced it had just the right amount of flavour ....dont know how else to explain the feeling of just right....on the other hand he sounded more like John in tone when playing the PRS....so if you want to sound closer to John Mayer in terms of his tone now it would be through the PRS. Some might think thats a no brainer but buying similar equipment doesn't always mean you'll get the sound but I think john really fine tuned the PRS in the way he wanted it to be for his purposes and PRS is a doing a good job in the models they are selling. But man for me that Fender was the one.
My ears are telling me the opposite. The PRS really has low output singlecoils. The big dippers are actually mid scooping.
@@ayeapprove oh thats interesting usually when i think of mid's scooping i hear the metal sound from the late 80's early 90's....but i guess maybe because the mid's are scooping that might be why the highs scratch out on top when he's playing the prs
there's no such thing as "more personality" just different personality which is subjective
Agreed
This dude is such a flawless player with alot of power and soul.
Ke'Von Gordon have a look at this one of his czcams.com/video/u5vjpL3o5iQ/video.html
I wasn't even focusing on the guitars.. this guys is such a good player, I was genuinely enjoying the music itself!
Both great guitars, just buy what makes you happy to play with. No one in the audience will notice a difference. Really nice playing!
no comparison - Fender all the way. It suits this player better. Great skills
Fender looks cooler too
Owning a JM sig strat, I feel like the nostalgia of it makes me like it over the silver sky, no matter how great the silver sky is. It’s almost like people who have played or have one would agree that they are two different guitars that aren’t comparable. It’s like comparing a Les Paul to a McCarty 594. Different guitars that just look alike. I don’t get all the drama either. It’s not like John went and built his fender sig to exact specs and then called it a JM sig with a PRS logo on a fender headstock.
Both sound great in this video and can still get you there just like a Maxon OD9 and TS9 can get you in the same ball park but are still different.
I agree, I let ppl try my JM strat all the time. They always ask what kinda strat is this? It’s amazing! I tell them it a JM and it’s like they discount it for having his name on it? A great guitar, is a great guitar....period. I am biased, but other people continue to tell me it’s the best strat over all that they’ve played. I would love to try the BS prs tho, different beast than the JM sig strat.
Excellent playing Jack! Really capture the sound perfectly. I prefer the Tone of the strat. There is more body to the sound, it just sounds smoother and cleaner. But I like the PRS with overdrive. Aesthetically you cannot beat the strat,. There are nicer looking silversky's on the market now, the Tesla colors are pretty cool
Holy shit the skills on this dude....both sound beautiful, but sincerely, nothing beats that strat tone
I feel a bit upset just looking at the PRS. The headstock and the body go together like ice cream and HP Sauce. The player is fabulous and to be honest they both sound great but the Fender gets it for me
The pickguard makes it look like a cheap copy.
I quite like the headstock. I guess that just shows at the end of the day it’s all personal preference.
Agreed. The headstock ruins it for me. Although the PRS has more bite and clarity I prefer the mellowness of the Fender
That's also what i've been thinking! I would have already bought one if it wasn't for that headstock
It's hard to focus on the comparison when you are distracted by amazing guitar playing!
It's always nice to hear someone actually be able to play during a comparison video, happens sometimes but not often enough...great job bud keep it up! Oh and I think the Strat sounds a tad better and more dynamic in this one anyway...
The strat sounded quite a bit better to my ears. His vibrato sounded more full. That strat just sounded amazing.
I keep watching a lot of these videos over and over again! Jack never stops to amaze me on how good a guitar player he is!!! I think he is the only one on this entire youtube who knows how to showcase a real vintage (or modern) instrument for a plethora of styles, not to mention to convince the audience of what the instrument can do...perfectly recorded, perfectly played!!! cheers Jack!
The PRS has smoother less bitey harsh top end by design. The "sound" of all the PRS guitars will be more similar to each other than the fenders guitar to guitar of the same model. The PRS is designed top to bottom to get John's preferred tone from a Strat. If you want a strat to sound like a strat, buy a strat. If you love the tones John gets out of His vintage strats, get a PRS Silver Sky.
So you are basically saying a Silver Sky sounds like a vintage strat, which sounds like a Strat? Lol
@@Rockandrollgeerage I guess, but only john’s preferred strat 😂
They both sound amazing... I took the leap for the PRS. The first time I played it, I knew I made a good decision. Its like butter for your ears.
John mayer is going to sound the same on either of those guitars....the sound of a guitar is still based on the talent of the man playing it.
This demonstrator is a super player and the reviews choices are still split if you read the comments. Mayer's big hits were done on his signature Stratocaster.
Second. An American Professional Strat has way more features, Tim Shaw pups and an Elite molded case and still costs $750.00 less.
Enough to buy a pretty decent amp too.
This Fender Stratocaster is based on his SRV Stratocaster with "defective pickups". They have scooped mids instead of a lot of mids like the Texas Specials are suppose to be. That's why the pickups are are called Big Dippers. This was the Stratocaster he played a lot before his Continuum album which was when he got the Black1 Stratocaster which sounds completely different than this Stratocaster and in my opinion it's better. A lot of people think this is gonna be his bluesy signature sound like the Black1 Strat but it's not.
None of Mayers "big hits" were done on his signature strat. He hardly ever even played it.
This is a tone quality video you knob lol
And yet he obviously preferred one, which is why he ultimately went with PRS. So clearly there was a substantial difference to his rather more qualified ears.
Evan Herb he was given a blank check by PRS. Make whatever you want, put whatever pickups on it, and they’ll pay you whatever you want. Meanwhile Fender won’t price match because they already own the legacy of the Stratocaster. Ultimately what makes a good guitar? Resonance through quality wood and fit, quality hardware, a good setup, inspiring aesthetics, and set of pickups to match the ADSR profile you want. PRS didn’t really improve any of those qualities with the silver sky, so clearly it’s just a cash grab.
This vid is a total failure. This gentleman plays so well that no one focuses on the difference lol
So true 😂
I got so pleasantly distracted, that I just left it playing while I did something else.
The Fender is amazing but I love the birds on the PRS...Ik Ik it’s just aesthetics but still
I'm totally on the same boat. THE BIRDS MAN!!!
I forgot this was a comparisson video. Awesome playing, man!
Its about time someone went to town on the Silver Sky! It sounds great! At $2299 it is worth the money spent. I have a red one is showing up soon & I can't wait. Awesome playing, great video!
Very overrated guitar..
Scott Gegan how can you say its worth the money when it hasnt even came in yet lol
Rowdy Stanley was guna say same thing haha.. whatever helps him sleep at night knowing that a mexi with new pups will be as good
@@rowdystanley2174 - OK Rowdy, Fair point - I have some news since I posted this. I have decided to give Fender 1 last/final chance at a great Strat. I've owned a few Strats (2 CSs) that have been lack luster (tone/feel/build). So, in the spirit of "want a strat, buy a strat" I "cancelled" my PRS SS order and placed a new order for a Fender CS Willcutt 50th Anniversary w/Ancho Poblano pickups. Had an audio sample sent and it sounded perfect. It arrives this week - so we'll see. The Fender CS is in my area in SoCal and I want to support their efforts and believe they can create a great Strat. However, in general, I thinks its a shame that while they (Fender) know how create exceptional instruments, people need to pay through the nose to maybe (and I mean maybe) get one. (And don't get me started on relics! "Here, pay us $$$ and we'll drive your guitar around the parking lot tied to the back of our truck and drag it around a while". If I was a luthier at Fender I'd quit the first time they asked me to smash my work with a shop tool over and over again. Go on Reverb and search for CS Strats and tell me that they are something you can be proud to own) Every guitar in the Fender lineup should be awesome, because they know how to make awesome guitars. Stop selling me nostalgia Fender (Gibson, I'm looking at you too) and with your decades of experience, build the best guitar possible in 2019 that blows me away with tone/feel/build. Put a fair price on it & I'm there with my wallet open. If PRS is building a great instrument (and they are) then hats off to them and I support all the success that comes their way, because that's what they are all about. So with Fender, I'm really hoping they knock my socks off with this last one - because it will be my last one. Sorry for the long reply, but that's my take. Thanks Rowdy for the honest reply. SG
Scott Gegan can you buy me a cs?
They're different...But the Fender wins on the Jimi tones.
For the fender sounded absolutely perfect, exactly what I would want from a single coil guitar. Also you’re a sick player dude
Erik Lundstrum I own the JM strat, to me it is THE strat sound I always craved! Jimi, SRV, Pearl Jam, it’s got it. Had like 10 strats before the Mayer, it’s now my one and only strat and it’s staying that way. Perfect neck, position 2,4,&5 are amazing! Mayer’s name aside, it’s the best strat I’ve played over the last 25yrs.
The white strat for me. I kinda like that ice picky sound. But the PRS has great balance and less of the higher frequency. The price point and craftsmanship on the PRS is something to really consider though.
raceface_m he has the Fender ice picky at first. It’s Fender for me though. In general the PRS always sounds too bright to me. John imo has probably lost some of his hearing so he needs more treble. All band guys are either half deaf or have tinnitus. If not now they will. Plus the headstock is hideous on the PRS. Does that headstock look right to you? It looks like it was lopped on. Plus the 7.25 radius if not set up right will choke out the bends. I’ll take Fender thank you.
Loved the all of the playing in video - hats off to you sir! I thought both sounded good but the Fender was just a little more mellow and I'd choose it.
I owned and sold my JM Signature strat and got the Silver Sky when it came out and never looked back. ALL the selector tones on the SS actually work. It stays in tune better than the Fender. Playability is superb. Turned me on to other PRS guitars. PRS doesn’t have the “show” that Fender does, but it does have the “go”. No tricks, just solid engineering. If you were building a guitar like a SS, wouldn’t you want John Mayer’s input?
Some of the best playing Ive heard. Every. Soulful and technically accurate. Very well done...again.
Nice playing! Thanks for the comparison. To me, the Fender sounds more "stratty", with a little more dirt, the PRS sounds more "PRSy", a little clearer, more refined. Everything is as it should be! (And my choice would be the PRS...)
Exactly how I felt. Both sound NICE but in different ways so it's down to preference.
The man can play
PRS sounds good, but too good. Like a Virtual guitar plugin. Fender just has “that” sound.
I’ve always thought the silver sky sounded a bit digital, like a plug-in trying to emulate the real thing
Great job on the video. I felt there was a bit more mojo on the strat but they both sounded great. My personal criticism is that I would have liked to get your thoughts after playing them both. A major part is the feel when playing and that was sorely missing from the end of this video.
Silver Sky sounds like "typical" Stratocaster.
In contrast, the John Mayer Strat doesn't sound like usual Stratocasters. It sounds wilder and fatter.
shiraga by "typical" I take it you mean a cheap knock-off? Because that's what it sounds like to me...sounds "Made in Indonesia" or whatever cheap third world country they're making them in these days.
@@josephjester4917 I think he meant the "classic" strat sound
Having played the silver sky and owning several strats the prs sounds and plays like crap. It does not have a "typical strat sound" as can be seen by this video. I have no idea why Mayer made the switch, the silver sky is not prs best guitar. I was totally unimpressed by ir.
@@josephjester4917 Unless Maryland is now part of Indonesia, these are made in the good old USA. Not "cheap", either - they run over $2k. I'm no PRS fanboy, but these are not cheap overseas guitars. Their SE series are made in Korea, but there is no Silver Sky SE.
Totally disagree. The Fender sounds like a Fender and the PRS sounds fatter/meatier.
I could seriously just put this on as background music, your playing is fantastic.
This is like the fourth Fender VS PRS comparison video and to me the Fender still wins. Kudos to this guys playing!!!
Thanks -what a great demo! Love that it was a lengthy play through ... I own both & they are amazing guitars.
I like the PRS, especially on the bridge, but both are great guitars :)
My Fender JM is a body double for your white one but is more tubby and not quite as bright. It goes to show, each guitar has a sound it’s own.
or different amp, mic, pedal settings. And whatever else... but fair point too
Monster playing
totally blew me away with your playing, who are u? been watching a few silver sky reviews and your playing is the best by far
77bovi here is Jack’s best video in my opinion: czcams.com/video/u5vjpL3o5iQ/video.html
I forgot about the comparison .. this guy is a beast on that ax !!! both have g8 tone 2 me.
Nice to see a fantastic youtube player that isn't making over the top dramatic guitar faces the entire time they are playing. Fabulous playing and great job nailing the Mayer tones.
GNR194 BA Stevie T?
The Fender are more Quacks & Sweet Sounding PU to my Ear
Gotta have my quacks
Both sound great but something about that Fender tone... just perfect
I dunno...a couple of seconds into hearing the PRS and I'm thinking those Strat tones blew it away.
Killer blues tones with that Strat.
That's how I felt too.
SirVicconius I actually stopped the video about 5-10 seconds int him playing the PRS. Just sounded too "cheap knock-off"y to me compared to the Strat.
@@josephjester4917 How much do you earn at Fender?
Oranges and apples. The Silver Sky is certainely a more modern guitar, with all the appointments that go with it. To my ear, the Fender sounds more "Stratty", quacky in the 4 position, Hendrix like in the neck and with a good attack in the bridge. Plus the large C profile is more appealing to me. Thanks for the comparison ! Nice playing btw ;-)
This confirms to me that the Silver Sky is just too perfect sounding for my tastes. The JM to my ears sounded way more mid pushed and a lot brighter. It seemed to have more vibe to the tone to me.
I like the sound of the PRS. The strat has that gritty sound, but I like the toned, balanced sound of the PRS better.
Man, you are a killer on Hendixy, Awesome playing... nice comparison... to me, Start wins though😊
Screw the comparison. I just closed my eyes and saw hendrix jamming on a hot summer day, headband flowing in the air.. damn man you can play!
Totally amazing guitar playing. Neverending tasty licks for days.
Jack needs his own channel for us to follow
Can't deny the Fender sounds better, sounds like an amazing Strat :)
Luke Steward I’ve always said: if you want a good strat - take fender. If you want something like a strat - get Suhr, Schecter, PRS or whatever. Somehow fenders really sounds right while the rest of them sound specialized
Somehow there's something in Fender that can't be said by a word
I know we’re not taking setups, pickup heights and etcetera into account, but I’m surprised how much better the Fender just sings.
The real hero here was that wampler tumnus with either one of those strats damn did that sound good.
I need to watch this video again, not to pick which guitar I like better, but to figure out how to play like this guy.
When he changes the guitar, the sound changes like as he put a blanket in front of the amp.
Exactly!
Wow incredible playing! Time to get back to practicing!
Great playing dude
I’ve got to say that I like the Strat in this context. A great player, unaccompanied by any other distracting instruments. It’s voice is pure and sweet. However, I get the feeling the Silver Sky would sit better in a mix. Guess I’ll have to take them both! 😄
Amazing player
So nice
I think the fender is better for this style
But they both sound amazing
I'm running with the Fender Stratocaster ... good playing . 🎸
I never felt the urge to like a video like that before! His playing in monstrous!!!
Nicely played.
great playing, that john mayer signature strat sounds amazing, wao
i'd like to ear this guy's opinion on both guitars and the one he prefers...
Fantastic video. This guy keeps the talking to a minimum and gets on with it, how refreshing! I love change, but let’s face it, he’s a better, smoother player on the Strat
Got to play both of these. The video doesn't convey how much more comfortable the PRS is over the strat (sculpted cutaway fits the hand better, fast neck). I prefer the warmth and roundness of the PRS as well.
I am eager to try the PRS Silver Sky. But my local guitar centers won’t have them in the stores.
@@siggeek503 I was lucky enough to catch a PRS rep who had one. They're backordered for a while, unfortunately.
Jesse Jay Allen That’s cool. What felt different on it compared to a Strat? (Not trying to be a dick I’m just curious).
@@siggeek503 The bottom cutaway is carved out, it's easier to reach the higher frets. The volume knobs are rounded off and don't rub against your picking hand as bad as a strat. Overall it just feels more solid too, has a bit more sustain. It's a little heavier too, I think the wood might denser
I didn’t liked the silver sky neck tbh, for me it felt too large.
These two guitars sound VERY similar, especially clean, although the PRS had a spankier low E note on "wait til tomorrow", but could be the strings being older on the strat. The strat got a little darker and fatter with the overdrive, while the PRS stayed more transparent - so I would just go by feel at this point. Curious which one the player preferred!
So why doesn't he just be the next superstar!🤩
I I hate it then people compare or review guitar by just playing open chords or just plucking it. It doesn't give the proper tone we want. This review made me stay longer because of the way this guy plays the guitar so lit💥
6105 frets? I'm counting 21.
Dad jokes has entered the chat
This guy is so crazy good! Great demo. Cool to hear the difference in the two guitars.
That PRS has everything a strat player may want from a strat... that Fender has much, MUCH more. The PRS is clear, sparkly, twangy, nice. The strat is just out of this world. This video for me is the perfect demonstration of why a true stratocaster is the best guitar design so far, absolutely undisputed.
😂😂😂
i did NOT expect this guy to be THAT TALENTED
Strat is still a strat. You'll never find that sound even they call it the better one.
#Lovefenderstrat
Well said Andi, so true!
I agree bro
💯% TRUE!!!
You can pickup 10 identical strats and they'll all sound different though.. -_-
@@baldbearded9601 Yes but you still get beautiful Stratocaster sound, I own the Eric Clapton Blackie, a 1989 Strat. Plus
another with Fender Custom shop pickups and a Lonestar Strat, all have bell tone clarity and the typical quack we all love but yes they do indeed sound just a bit different I sgree.
Wow, how come you're not famous. You are a mesmerizing guitar player. I'm a bass player but I'm going to subscribe to your channel just for the pleasure to get to hear you play.
Love the PRS but the STRAT kicked some ass!
So good of a player at this young age 🌟
Prs makes you sound like John Mayer
But the strat just has that special sound.
Haha how great I personally could sit there and say that fender sounds flat out different than the silver sky.
But then noticed the majority of us didn't even decide which one but rather were all saying "damn, dude can play pretty slick"
As Willie brown in crossroads said to the kid
Lightning.
I actually own both of these & with the same colors as well. Funny coincidence. In my opinion the PRS wins by a hair because of the pickups. There's something very contemporary happening with the Silver Sky with it's blend of something old & something new where as the Fender JM feels like an older classic Fender from the 60s (kinda like the SRV Fender). I think listening to this video is one thing, but actually trying the Silver Sky would be informative for everyone. The Silver Sky will be around 30+ years from now. It's an incredible guitar.
@joesl8 Dude. Calm down. It's just a discussion about guitars.
@joesl8 absolute tit.
Watched a few of your videos so far, but I just now realized what an amazing player you are. Insane stuff! Only remark is that it's not through a Fender amp, but the Dr Z sounds really good!
PRS sounds like an HD strat. So much more balance, and it isn't as ice picky.
Casual Introvert but that kinda makes it sound, virtual
I don’t like it at all compared to the fender
@@derekbravo7811 not every guitar needs to sound vintage. Mayer said it himself when he said that this is what he imagined a strat would be if it were made today for the first time.
Casual Introvert you’re right
Most strat bridge pickups are bright and Ice picky , that’s why there the tone control. Plus everyone know you play a Strat for the neck pickup.
They both sounded pretty nice. Probably due to the skilled playing mostly but I’d be happy to own either. Definitely have a soft spot for the Strat, it’s hard to shake that ingrained love.
I love the guitars...and my latest looks just like the JM but.... I subscribe to hear this dudes jam... One rainy wish and wait til tomorrow had a hell of a groove! I also drool over the guitars lol. The fender JM sounds better to me but I may be biased ;)
I would never give up my Fenders for a PRS, those singles on the PRS sound tinny to me, but than again I prefer down & dirty Blues, yeah he's an awesome player!
Owning the mayer strat myself, its definetly the better of the two. It's a meaner sound. I guess it's more of a reflection of what John needed at the time. I feel like the silver sky is tailored more to his playing now days, it's more of a controlled tonal balance. I like the fender better.
What an amazing guitarist. Stunning.
I'd really like to see all the PRS haters that claim the fender sound has "more personality" or "just had the fender thing" do a blind test😂 my take is you couldn't lose either way with any of the guitars in this video.
P.s. Peach guitars does the best reviews hands down! Thanks guys
Shit, you‘re killing it! Great playing :-)
