My very first YouTube Video

Maybe, we are posting more because of a holiday break from work, school, or because of increasing layoffs (I pray the last alternative is a very short one to whom it applies.  May God's grace be with you)

Sad to say i have a suspicion that this is a cause also. I pray that by God's grace next year will be much better than this past year.

You actually sent your amp back to Line 6? You will be waiting a while baby girl. 

I called them and they were in a meeting.  They told me to leave a message and they didn't call me back.  I'm gonna be so mad if they didn't even start it!  It's been about 2-3 weeks already!   

My poor, poor guitar!  Lol.  I swear if guitars could talk it would say, "I thought you loved me!    Does our relationship mean ANYTHING to you?!  "  Lol.  I still have that crazy buzz in my guitar and the jack where the chord goes into (I sound so professional, don't I?) is lose.  One of the screws came out and this other thingy is lose (on the same item).  I wanted to get an estimation before the holidays started but school kept me occupied.  I'm going to get get an estimation after New Years.  Still, until my skill level goes up I don't think I'll be posting anything any time soon.

This is why i do not send stuff back to the manufacturer. I mean, they will fix it and all, it'll just take a while to get it back. You could have taken it to any music shop and had it fixed. My cord jack was also loose but i gave it to my bassist who set my guitar up for me...free! Now the neck plays like butter.

By "buzz" do you mean fret buzz or buzz from the amp? If its fret buzz, your action maybe a bit too low. If you start hearing the fret buzz in the amp then there is a problem.

In any case do not post up stuff on Youtube if you are not ready. Those Youtubers are crazy and will flame the heck out of you if you are not careful. I should know...i have done my fair share of flaming.

Thats the truth. I've gotten some harsh comments in the past. But I havent gotten any recently as I've taken old stuff down, and put better stuff up. But it lets you know where you really stand with your music (if you can handle criticism)

I think that's the issue because when I play the first 3 frets or so (maybe 2 depending on what string I'm playing) it does not sound good at all. It makes me cringe sometimes.  I have no idea how to raise the "action" or anything like that so I'm going to leave that to a professional.

I've been thinking about posting clips of me doing stuff not to be rated, but to solicit help from other guitarists.  Idk.

If its a strat style guitar then raising the action is not hard. However take it to a professional to have the wholee guitar set up. Should set you back about $35 and upward depending.

I think this is an excellent idea. maybe you could do videos and have only certain people be able to critique them and offer advice. Its possible. Think about it, plus it'll be great to be able to get advice and stuff from you and the others here.

That was good man!

Thanks for bumping this. I would've missed this, and there's alot I can learn from Fenix's channel.

Dude, PUH-LEASE!!! There is nothing you can learn from me. Get some of gtrdave's videos and you will learn some real stuff.
