That’s surprising. Lava Me has been out for several generations and widely known. Enya build up on this with their versions
Always lovely to see an upload from you Rachel :)
I always love your videos. Not only do you inspire me as an adult beginner at guitar (been at it for 4 months and I'm surprised how well I can play now) but you also love some of my absolute favorite artists. I flipped out when you started the video with bards song. Thank you for sharing your talent on this channel. 💚

interesting guitar - nice review - thanks for sharing it!
I could see this to be good for that singer/player we all know and also it would be great in a studio setting for working our phrasing and such on the fly, considering it has the mic feature. That feature really puts it in a creative demographic for sure. Cool piece, the black one is cool looking but then again black goes so well with my orange skin so I'm bias, LOL. Happy Holidays Rachel. :)

Yeah, if you need to practice acoustic quietly this could be a good option! It can get really loud if you want it to, but nice having the option to be quieter.
As always, you do an entertaining and informative review. If you should ever want a more traditional acoustic with great playing action and tone, I hope you check out just about any acoustic in the Taylor line. You won't be disappointed.

Is it blue? 😁 I couldn't tell if it was from the reflection of the lights. 🔵 I was thinking it would be great to keep on a bed, but it's a bit pricey for just a practice guitar. It would probably be great for busking. 😎 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's an interesting guitar. 🎸

I don't think I've ever seen an acoustic guitar quite like that. It's really cool looking tho
I don't know if I would use something like this. I don't have anything acoustic but I have my eye on the Acoustasonic when that time comes just because I'm so used to electric and how I fit it. Also I'm really good at wasting features and never really using things to their fullest! The concept is pretty cool and to me makes a lot of sense just from the perspective of how tones and patches are all so portable and programmed into everything so this concept seems the next evolution of that. Like imagine Positive Grid busting out with a full on all in one solution in this style! Also, do you just naturally have a repertoire of riffs that you pull out for your videos or are they part of the production of the video as in you come up with something for a particular product or use and then get it down for filming? You're just so natural like 'hey I can play my ass off regardless, check this out!' lol
@RachelfGuitar
Жыл бұрын
Yeah as you know I mostly play electric too, so I totally get that! And sometimes simple is nice. This is a really fun guitar though for the right person 😁🎸 As far as riffs go, some are just ones from existing songs I've recently learned. Some I make up while filming the video, but I record for much longer than shown so much of the playing gets cut. I'll often come up with something and then spend a while replaying it in different ways until I get something I like for the demo :)

You might want to take a look at the Yamaha Silent Guitar. Same thing only without the speaker. Also they couldn’t add a lower contour for your leg? Then they wouldn’t have to add a patch to keep it from sliding off. Just sayin’

Great review, strange guitar.
Rachel great review, and you're so nice and beautiful as ever. But it's not finger singer or singer rock, it's just that the display shows the selected effect AND the next in the list, I saw a lot of reviewers doing the same mistake. Many kisses from a fan darling!
I wonder how that would sound with nylon strings.

Not sure I'm keen on the effects - they didn't sound that well developed to me. I do, however, love the idea of carbon fibre guitars. The tone is great.

Always enjoy your videos but I have to say and this is just my opinion but all these types of guitars like these are just gimmicky guitars to me and not made very well or very professional either. these are also not new ideas as they where making stuff like this back in the 80's and 90's as I was coming up in the guitar/band/music world and these types of guitar sucked then and still have not improved now other then making look more modern. they failed back then and they stopped putting stuff like this out and now it seems they have come back to this trying to see if they can get it to work now which I do not see happing other then a few sales to people that have no clue about what a good guitar's and gear are. But hay like I said just my opinion. look foward to your next video.

Incomplete review. Ok i am going to give you 👎🏻 because no one showed including you, about how silence the guitar is, they show the ear pieces but how do i know how silence the guitar is with earphones on? I will buy it, if the guitar don’t disturb others. So no help at all with your video.
Sounds awful
