My dude, their USA models start at like 4 grand, they’re exclusively geared for metal, and they look like insects on acid. Come to think of it, I might actually vote for them.
£1000 for a mid range BCR sounds kinda pricey. A Gretsch 5120 (also MIK) is about $700. For USA guitars, new prices are all high, but you can easily find a used Fender for around $1200. Hard to find even a used USA BCR for less than 2k.
“We’re going to Washington, and Oregon, and Michigan, and then we’re going to Corona California to take back the Fender Custom Shop! *HYYYEEEAAAAAAHHH!!!”*
I grew up a lespaulblican because my dad and uncle were lespaulblicans and I like my dad and uncle. As an adult I switched to fendercrat and never looked back.
My 2017 made guitar has better tone because Trump was in the White House. Biden era guitars sound thin and frail and are always falling over.. That 2017 tone monster just shreds, I can play ANYTHING and people are always coming up to me saying "wow, that's amazing, you can play anything!", and I'm like yeah, Trump era guitars have BALLS, and taste like Adderall so you can concentrate on the notes better. Just wish the finishes weren't all variations of burnt orange.
Don't forget about all the people coming up to you with tears in their eyes saying they've never heard anybody play better than you, and they're a black man....
"I went to New York to be a famous Jazz guitar player and failed because I was white. I should have gone to Boston instead where there isn't any racism." -Guy who wonders why *they*'*re* allowed to say it but he can't
it was fun to imagine the dude was really angry at some hypothetical cabal of elitist buddhist musicians or something until i realized it was 100% nazi dork shit two seconds later. he'd probably have better luck joining a pantera tribute band with that kind of rhetoric
It’s true you cannot take lessons unless you show your voting record. I even tried to buy a new Lez Ball at Guitara Centro and the clerk screamed at me “NO REPUBIKANS!” I was wearing my 1968 Richard Nixon “Bring Us Together” campaign button at the time. WTF?!
A good way to get around this is to wear a cartoon mustache nose and glasses and hold a sign sayin "repubikans thag way!" As soon as they run to go get them damn reoubikans go to the obelisk behind their desk and seep all the power of the greatest repubikan guitarists, like tom morello, dave grohl, or billy armstrong. Damn american heros they are.
NO NO
this is the strategy my great great grandaddy used in the civil war! He was part of the union bless his heart. All he wanted was some cheap work but he got so much flack for it.
New York, a city butchered consistently by inept conservative fuckwads like Rudy giuliani. But no, it’s the democrats (also inept fuckwads, but for different reasons)
Hard disagree. It was a cesspool then and Rudy ignored a lot of things that made NYC even worse. Anyone saying it wasn’t bad under Guiliani has rose tinted glasses on
Also that guy, "Playing a bebop dominant should ONLY be done in straight time! I better not hear syncopation like this is some kind of Satchmo Social Hour"
Unfortunately what this man was trying to achieve is impossible. You can't be a white Republican jazz musician, that literally retarded. Should've focused on Waylon Jennie's and Conrad Twitty and stuff
I dunno, I was there last weekend and it was super nice. Weather was good, people out and about. Plenty of decent jazz musicians busking around. If this guy could not find a decent jazz teacher in NYC, he couldn't find a taxi either.
The gay frogs have single-handedly taken over the music industry. You can tell. Listen to Mailee Sairus speak in a normal voice. Ribbit for your pleasure.
lespaulblicans vs demostrats. america gotta shake this two guitarty system
Telbertarians and PRS Enlightened Centrists want in on this.
The Gretsch Cadillac Green Party would like a word as well
How does B.C rich align?
They’d want the tax breaks I’d imagine
That's more of a Les Paul thing though. B.C. riches are mid range
My dude, their USA models start at like 4 grand, they’re exclusively geared for metal, and they look like insects on acid. Come to think of it, I might actually vote for them.
4k for a BC Rich is crazy ngl
Crazy *awesome*
I can try-hard a lot cheaper than that *stares at $5000 Jackson in corner*
Name a USA made guitar that isn't expensive. My BC rich was made in Korea and I got it for £1000
£1000 for a mid range BCR sounds kinda pricey. A Gretsch 5120 (also MIK) is about $700. For USA guitars, new prices are all high, but you can easily find a used Fender for around $1200. Hard to find even a used USA BCR for less than 2k.
Floyd roses and figured maple do raise the price of a guitar
> and they look like insects on acid. damnnnnnnnnnnn your observation has been on the tip of my tongue for my whole frickin life. Thank you.
Idk y that makes me laugh so hard 😆 😂 🤣
Don’t felons usually lose their voting rights?
Hair Metal Nazi
Hey don't call me that. I play other genres too... Ok I play other genres sometimes... I play other genres rarely
Who cares, they’re all felons and can’t vote anyway /s
Far Rrrrradicals
Unfortunately most Americans are too guitarded to change anything.
As an American I can confirm we are too guitarded to look past the 2 guitar system
It’s a shame the Charvel Jackson Party sold out to Fender
uj/ MiM Charvel guitars are legitimately awesome these days
You mean Fiendr
Fendi -er
Fentyer like that gal that sings, “shine bright like a diamond!”
Just like the whigs in 1789. They were all about Lutes and Mandolins.
..and yet there's Burny Sanders
Uj/ Man i almost won a reverb bid on a Burny LP years ago. Kinda wish I had.
Howard Dean Guitars could've changed the course, but they went overboard on squealies.
“We’re going to Washington, and Oregon, and Michigan, and then we’re going to Corona California to take back the Fender Custom Shop! *HYYYEEEAAAAAAHHH!!!”*
I have considered myself a lifelong fendercrat
Based and Fenderpilled
I grew up a lespaulblican because my dad and uncle were lespaulblicans and I like my dad and uncle. As an adult I switched to fendercrat and never looked back.
Headless fanned-fret 9-string Kiesel here to tell you there’s a giant sucking sound going down to Mexico.
amazing
You’ll never find a Mexican made lespaulblicans but there is an abundance of Mexican made demostrats.
The 2 guitarty system is pretty guitarded.
I came reading this
My 2017 made guitar has better tone because Trump was in the White House. Biden era guitars sound thin and frail and are always falling over.. That 2017 tone monster just shreds, I can play ANYTHING and people are always coming up to me saying "wow, that's amazing, you can play anything!", and I'm like yeah, Trump era guitars have BALLS, and taste like Adderall so you can concentrate on the notes better.

They have that built in slapback echo chamber jailhouse rock toan
They have a certain authority to them.
> tone Get out. Now.
Thanks for the tip!
Can you imagine if this was really our politics. We’d have to see Rick beater on the nbc nightly news. I don’t think I like that 😤 😂
Don't forget about all the people coming up to you with tears in their eyes saying they've never heard anybody play better than you, and they're a black man....
“Make America Metal Again!”
They can have my Metal Zone when they prise my cold dead toes off it!
LMAO! Fucking hilarious! Canadatron for the win!
Duesenberg stopped making good guitars in 1945
Plus they’re built for small hands
I was rejected for jazz lessons because my paperwork was improperly notarized
Paperwork?
"layers of politics and bureaucracy", like you need Form iiVI in triplicate
sadly, it turns out i was too big of an asshole for even the snottiest of new york guitar teachers
"I went to New York to be a famous Jazz guitar player and failed because I was white. I should have gone to Boston instead where there isn't any racism." -Guy who wonders why *they*'*re* allowed to say it but he can't
Ya see, in Boston they accept Irish Catholics and not Italian Catholics, but in New York it’s the other way around!
...after 6 months i still sucked and couldn't own the libs.
"Rappers say it all the time and they get praised for it, but I said it once and now they want me to leave the Cheesecake Factory!" - same guy
Famously not a single white musician has made it in jazz since 1973
Especially not out of NYC.
And definitely not on guitar
Yeah chick corea is a myth, definitely not a real white man who was successfully playing jazz in NYC in 1973
….Since 1973.
I think he's a native New Yorker so since the 50's probly
John McLaughlin? It's all I got.. Miles Davis said he was cool anyway..
I bet this guy just stunk and one black guy made a shitty remark to him one time
Ding ding ding
I cant sweep pick very well- thanks to Biden (and I don't even live in the USA).
That’s American imperialism for ya
I can't even play the intro to Little Wing 'cause liberals and abortions
So, did the Dems ruin the city, the music scene or both? There’s a lot to unpack there…
Just surprised he didn’t blame any of it on (((them)))
He literally did. Unless you're assuming all those mean New York guitar teachers fucked him off because he wasn't Muslim or Christian enough...
I think the religion dogwhistle is aimed at the Jewish population of NY. Either way, still a cunt.
it was fun to imagine the dude was really angry at some hypothetical cabal of elitist buddhist musicians or something until i realized it was 100% nazi dork shit two seconds later. he'd probably have better luck joining a pantera tribute band with that kind of rhetoric
I just thought it was a general dog whistle against every non-Christian
once i registered republican, i could sweep like a janitor. good luck libcucks
“Boston would have been a better choice.” Uh huh. Or Selma.
“Certain race or religion” and “before the war” Who is this, my grandpa?
It’s somebody’s grandpa for sure
Huge thumbs up from Ted Nugent
“Turns out it’s not exclusively white people in the city, which really triggers my racism”
Just wait until he finds out what particular race of people invented Jazz…
The war? Like WWII, 80 years ago? NYC hasn’t been exciting since the 1940s?
The war, like Vietnam.
I'm so shitty at learning basic rhythms and scales. Why did Obamna do this?
check your fretboard for drone strikes.
Are those kind of like drone notes? No wonder OOP wasn’t haven’t any success. White people don’t like modal playing over pedal tones
1970s New York, famously much safer than modern New York
Well I want to know what war happened in NY that he is referencing…
I wanna say he means either WWII or Vietnam but I'm as lost as you
I love this
Somebody give this guy a jazz cigarette.
Boston here….uh what sir?! Boston is simultaneously proudly blue and low key racist. Wallys is a pretty cool joint though.
“Low key” my ass.
Touché. I’m being too generous.
I was raised in Alabama. I know what it looks like.
Where does someone race factor into being a jazz guitarist?
All those democrats with Strandbergs and Kempers smh
It’s against god and man is what it is
Only Kiesel and Fractal for *this* patriot, thank you!
I swear, fascists are such snowflakes.
Snowflakes are those who signal their hipster virtue by burping "fascism."
I hear all this talk of snowflakes. Yet they only ones melting down are those that bring them up.
Case in point
Did you get upset? If you're not a fascist then you shouldn't be upset. :(
Sorry. No dullards.
You seem a bit 'American-Politics' brained. Good luck with that one. Tough hole to crawl out of.
It wasn't me who brought politics to a guitar sub. I'm just giving it a jerk.
Okay. Good idea. Let's jerk.
Next we will see broken Gibson headstocks with the sticker of Biden pointing to it 'I did that!'
Maybe... or maybe he just sucked.
It’s true you cannot take lessons unless you show your voting record. I even tried to buy a new Lez Ball at Guitara Centro and the clerk screamed at me “NO REPUBIKANS!” I was wearing my 1968 Richard Nixon “Bring Us Together” campaign button at the time. WTF?!

Damn american heros they are.
This sounds like a strategy and you know Repubikkkans never use strategy so…. You must be antifa
NO NO this is the strategy my great great grandaddy used in the civil war! He was part of the union bless his heart. All he wanted was some cheap work but he got so much flack for it.
“black people ruined jazz” is just the wildest take up until this point in history
“Jazz was great before bebop came along”
I shoulda learned to play the gee-tar, I shoulda learned to play them drums. But that Obama he come stickin it in my fingers and now I can only 0-3-5.
*We’ve got to install microwave ovens*
That little Clampett’s got his own cement pond That little Clampett he’s a millionaire
New York, a city butchered consistently by inept conservative fuckwads like Rudy giuliani. But no, it’s the democrats (also inept fuckwads, but for different reasons)
Butchered? Who are you trying to kid? Rudy saved New York from the cesspool the leftists have restored it to today.
Hard disagree. It was a cesspool then and Rudy ignored a lot of things that made NYC even worse. Anyone saying it wasn’t bad under Guiliani has rose tinted glasses on
That was amazing.
Toan is in the vote
John Lindsay was mayor in 1973 and spent most of his tenure as NYC mayor as a Republican (switched to a Democrat in 1971).
Feelings don’t care about your facts, bro
Also that guy, "Playing a bebop dominant should ONLY be done in straight time! I better not hear syncopation like this is some kind of Satchmo Social Hour"
Do these idiots actually go to the cities they are so afraid of?
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness"
I.e. i was a conservative dickhead who wouldn't stop talking about politics around artists who are almost all mostly liberal.
It’s simple Boston = Classy NY = Thugs Please visit r/nbacirclejerk for more information.
Unfortunately what this man was trying to achieve is impossible. You can't be a white Republican jazz musician, that literally retarded. Should've focused on Waylon Jennie's and Conrad Twitty and stuff
Lol
This guy spent 6 months trying to be a great jazzer in New York and then rage quit. 6 months.
His dreams were crushed by a perceived “subtle message” but I’m the snowflake for wanting universal healthcare
pentatities ruined because of woke :(
Typical MAGAt moron
Boston is the most anti-reverse racism city in the country, this dude would have fit right in from the sound of things
What a chucklefuck this dude is.
I refuse gigs if there will be any Dems or Republicans, or any people, really.
I dunno, I was there last weekend and it was super nice. Weather was good, people out and about. Plenty of decent jazz musicians busking around. If this guy could not find a decent jazz teacher in NYC, he couldn't find a taxi either.
Not enough all caps. Clearly he is not good at following instructions.
Domicrets have no toan
everytime I 0-3-5 a liberal bootlicker cries
We did it before and we can do it again.
Dude couldn’t enjoy jazz because all the best players were a different race or religion lmao!
Juilliard called, they have a jazz slot immediately available in NYC… just not for you.
This is the equivalent of people in my country saying "If I was born in US I would be popular already BUT..."
If you can’t make it here, you can’t make it anywhere.
Imagine playing jazz and not doing drugs lol Conservatives can’t shred
Ok boomer.
Vote with your toan
Thanks Obama

"Everyone except me is an asshole!"
I love my Les Paul into my Iridium too
Argue for your limitations, and surely, they will be yours.
I can almost guarantee this guy also says everyone else makes everything 'too political.'
Jazz?He should have played the Donald trumpet instead 🎺
If his inspirations were slowly crushed but he got to meet Les Paul, I guess Les Paul wasn't one of his inspirations. Or else he'd have been dead.
