Thanks for another great lesson. This is such joyful, fun music.

Impressive playing!!!!

Nice solo and nice singing!

I keep coming back! Learned a lot! And I love the words of wisdom too! 😊

Big fun! I'd have had a hard time passing up that Epiphone Zephyr. And I just spent twelve and a half minutes doing something that makes me happy--watching one of your videos!

Almost half video is preamble !

I hope it did not cost much to get into that show. The problem, is it is suited for old jazzz players. The prices were in line. I saw no effects, very few functional amps & the guitars were boring with no pedigree to even one of them. The attendees and the vendors look like they all needed a couple of shots of Jack Daniels & a couple of lines of cocaine.

So nice one!But i will keep my old! Sheraton!Sounds a way ofcource in the same dirction!In moment u can get this Donner for 264 Euros°

Great review. I’m bought a Gretsch on a whim (I have five now) and I’m just starting to get into rockabilly. This pedal seems really good. I liked and subscribed, looking forward to seeing more of your content

Damian, you are truly a great teacher. You know how to take sophisticated concepts and break them down into easy to understand, digestible parts. And, please, sell me that 5230!!! Lol.

You’re sick, bro! Thx

Just found your channel. Love it 🎸🎸🎸

Hi Damien, do I find your jazz tabs somewhere in printable versions? That would be great. Best wishes and thank you for your ambitious work.

I got one of these with the whole kit (guitar, gig bag, strap, cable, and tools). It was listed at $169.99 in June 2024. There was a $50 off coupon so I could't resist. A day or two after it arrived, I was on the Walmart site searching for guitars on a whim. This same guitar package was selling for $109.99 without any codes. Were we ripped off because we didn't get the same deal? After taxes my cost was just under $130. Had I purchased from Walmart it would be ten dollars less. The finish is almost flawless. There is one spot where a grain of sand is under the paint. Everywhere else it is great. The nut slots need to be cut deeper. The action needs to be adjusted a bit higher to not buzz. The machine heads need oil. Even after almost a week it hasn't been plugged in. I just like reclining on the bed and playing acoustically. This one is REALLY heavy for a Thinline. It must weigh over seven pounds, close to eight. Plywood is heavy. I really like the slightly thicker neck. May these inexpensive Donner guitars last us a long time and give us great rocking pleasure.

Very nice Damian, thanks!

Very cool. Thanks for

really ? box filled with cotton ? 😂 Nobody struggles these days..........

Love this 🎶👍thanks

Love the Einstein quote, let’s go make some mistakes.

Thanks, Damian. Reminds me that I always say I’m going to go to one of the local guitar shows like the Sarasota one you brought us along to see here, and I’ve forgotten about them or let myself get pulled in another direction and never get to them. You’ve inspired me once again. I’m going to the next one in my area.😊

Thank you very much Damien. Needed to learn this one for my cover band. Excellent Lesson!

Stellar episode, Mate...it's always so refreshing hearing you play, you're the best player out there, imo 🎸

Another reviewer on YT said to be prepared to have to file level the frets. That put me off buying one of these. Is it true? Did you have to level the frets for it to be playable?

Molte grazie

Thanks for the lesson! I can hear the lick very clearly -- I may not get it exactly but I think I can come pretty close. It looks like a lot of fun!

Great points. Back in my early 20s, there weren't things like Snark tuners (and things these days break), so know how to quickly tune an instrument by ear. Drunk or loaded audience members might grab a neck or headstock as they stumble across you while you're moving through the crowd if the green room isn't behind the stage. Believe me. It's a pain to be out of tune when you switch on the amp and the crowd is stoked and ready. The second instrument is paramount. Stuff happens. Strings break. Even new strings. I played bass hard, and broke strings regularly... and I played my Precisions with the bridge and pickup covers on like they were designed back then. Changing strings means a screwdriver removing two tiny screws to remove the cover. Changing strings can't happen during the set. One time later, in the 90s, I broke a string on a Gibson Thunderbird I had, and the bridge saddles float..... it fell off into the darkness on a stage in France when the D string broke. I'll never forget that it was the D string. The Jazz wasn't my favorite bass, but it was a lifesaver that night. A second instrument on a stand has to be there, and in tune. All the other stuff makes sense, even with roadies moving your gear. Extra strings, and extra cord even if you use a wireless. In some towns, there's interference to the point the wireless just won't work. Have a cord or two on hand. I don't share this story often, but I crossed the Mississippi River for soundcheck across from New Orleans one evening when I was 21 (in 1978), and forgot my vintage Precision. No one had hands on it except for me. Girlfriend was really hot and there was business to finish, but me dashing across the river without an instrument would have been a big deal if it was the gig. Always remember your instrument when going to the gig. Knowing the material backward and forward or in your sleep is a no-brainer. You don't play for money if you don't know the stuff you're going to play. ....and if you're playing for money, have a contract and know what you're being paid, even if it's a split at the door. After you've played a while, you won't be happy just to be playing at some dump. They have to pay you. If it's a local club and it's the door or split, bring your own guy with a clicker to count heads if you draw more than fifty or a hundred people. Some club owners will short you, even if you sell the place out of beer that night. Playing music is fun, but it's a shitty business. Good luck!

Brilliant, mixing it up with double stops and other licks like one might do in real time. Subscribed.

I loved the walk thru and price display on each.Wish the video was longer.Thanks from your neighbour to the north.Also spelled "Neighbor". Cheers

Nice ✨✨😎

Hey damian enjoyed looking at the guitar candy ...those gibsons are $$$ ...that alone would send me for some Tiki bar relief.

Thanks. You have inspired me dust off that squier jazzmaster under the bed.

Thanks Damian for being a great guitar player and teacher and all around great person. You are an inspiration!

Fun watch

You rule, thank you for this great lesson!

Hi Damian, that was a great video, especially as you included some amazing pictures of the guitars and of-course their all important asking price for completeness and a viewers full appreciation. Your playing and message is very inspirational to me, especially right now, thank you 🙏

Very interesting some really nice guitar's 🎸🎸🇬🇧

That was. Fun tour! It’s amazing how people keep the old looking like new!

👍👍👍

Yes, please. More of the same.

Thanks for the video. It would be cool to get your opinion on how well you think things are priced. Also enjoyed the footage of the restaurant at the end. I get to Sarasota occasionally and will definitely check it out.

I was there too! I went Saturday. I wish I knew to look out for you. Glad to see that you had fun!

So nice like ever👍

Love it!!!!

Great video, looking forward to next year’s guitar show. Your enthusiasm adds to the enjoyment of looking at these amazing instruments and amps, 2 thumbs up 👍👍

Thanks my brother!!!

Hi, from the UK, nice video Damian, some very cool guitars, at that show. Visited Sarasota, some years ago, while doing a tour around Florida, loved it.

I really enjoy your vlogs, thanks!

Nice vídeo, greetings from México!
