I've had it!!! If I hear one more supposed guitar demo that is only overdriven shredding I'm going to scrrrrrream!!!!! :mad: :eek:
I've been trying to get a feel for the sound/tone capabilities of a few EBMM guitars such as the Luke and the Axis SS, etc...
Seems like every freeking time I click on a EweTube video "demo" that someone is doing all I hear is overdriven shredding. That tells me virtually nothing about what the guitar really sounds like. All it "demos" is whatever effect(s) they are using.
Geez, I could make a farging banjo sound like that if I played it through enough effects. lol
Thankfully there are a few good demos out there (robelinda2 has some good ones) but they are definitely in the minority. Most Albert Lee demos are nice and clean so I can hear the guitar and not the effects, but most other guitar models being demoed are a waste. It's frustrating. Grrrrrrr!!!
Am I crazy? Nevermind, rhetorical question lol.

Better to just post in a thread asking for people to demonstrate certain tones with certain guitars. Most can make demos without video pretty easily.
