When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

He does the standard stuff well. But I ain’t hearing anything new.

Is there anything left to be new?

Can’t believe you said that. Arrangement of notes, original tones…
Ah, can’t be bothered. I don’t blame him for what’s going on here. Good on him. The whole YT guitar scene is loosing its shine.

Actually I can be bothered. I listen to U2, With or Without You yesterday. Love or hate the Edge, but when he kicks off that G,D delayed riff, it’s just so mind blowing. Even today, some 35 years later. And Jimi…always fresh.

What will Chris deliver us?

Heres the thing, you can't objectively rate art, good music is art, plain and simple.

I can only agree - the logic works. However, the subscriber YT thing…I guess I’m done for now. It’s just rinse and repeat.

Yeah theres a bit of an exodus from that space, I guess being a pawn for big corporates flogging gear has gotta ruin you eventually.

Its not just guitar on YT that's getting boring, I watch a lot of motorcycle channels too and they are all becoming predictable, same old reviews and dumb-ass topics just to get clicks.

There are still a few genuinely skilled people out there actually sharing useful info and knowledge mind.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Getting bored of YT is our own fault for watching too much of it. Suppose it'll be porn next... ;-)
