I love my Jazzys. Even if I can't play that well, I can still appreciate what they are capable of.

He demo'd Dwarfcraft's The Internet with a slice of Stones too - he always picks good songs for demos.

This makes me wonder if Fender Japan fit different JM pickups these days. Mine had the ones that were built around a JM bobbin and Strat magnets, but the guitar in this vid doesn't sound as shrill/wimpy as mine used to. Maybe they're closer in spec to the US or MIM pickups now?

the back of that guitar looks like ASSPISS.
its half gentle grain in V shapes then they fucking glued this other chunk of wood to it with fucking straight lines.
that guitar is going to run ya 800-1000 bucks and look like a fucking 300 squier.

Luckily you can get the same guitar in white with a matching headstock

I have to disagree - he is technically proficient (the right notes in the right place) but he has no feel at all.
Often he plays something and it's actually unrecognizable because his phrasing, feel and dynamics are so monotonous.

If you think Andy's good, try going to a Guitar Center.
I straight up heard a guy two-handed tapping on an EVH sig through a 5150 amp the other day... then later he had a Les Paul going into a Marshall and he LITERALLY started playing Black Dog. I'm not even making this shit up, that's the freaky thing.
I had to run out of the shop so I wouldn't try sucking his dick or something. Later I contemplated turning to hard drugs so I could get that same feeling back on a more regular basis.

I like some tap over chord progressions when done in a jazz style but generally tapping leaves me cold. When I was at uni I got into the whole sweep and tap thing, but I never really liked the music. With a little practice you can pick it up quite quick. Just star slowly. There is loads of stuff online lesson wise.
Black dog is easier to play than you think, have a go!

i think he's better than 99% of demo makers
the fact he can make guitars sound pleasing and good in a way that appeals to many guitarists is a skill unto itself, poor dynamics or not. it's not like he's trying to make the hall of fame, he's there to show gear off, which he does excellently.
