Syo, since I am new here Im not sure how to contact you in PM about these guitars. Could you contact me, I have some questions, business-wise. GA

Here's my .02 I'd want it as is with the natural finish. If you had a lower price and a return option, I might be interested. In the end, its about how it feels and plays to me. Since I cannot feel the neck, how it fits me as a player and such, that's a big gamble. And just because its made...

Welcome, I'm 41 and new here also. GA

My impressions of the Sensei - it has a lot of bite and feels great sounds great through a tube amp, both clean and with gain, plays smooth, looks fantastic. Fit and Finish are wonderful. I had a Daredevil in Aspen Mint years ago, and wasn't as happy with it, this shape though similar, is a...

I might suggest to take a look at an ESP EC 301 - In Vintage Cherry Burst - Seymour Duncan JB and 59's and Mahogany on Mahogany - with set neck. Phenomenal Guitar for the money. Value and quality that are unmatched at that price point, and even several hundred dollars higher. GA

You have mirrored my impressions almost to the T - especially about Marshall and Ibanez. You might also note how much of Ibanez stock is comprised with Ibanez proprietary parts, meaning dealer-only parts. Thus, if you ever need to replace them, be ready to pay a steeper price. An example -...

Its worth getting a guitar that you are going to be happy with. I contend that sonically I can take a guitar that has been intelligently designed and engineered (I.e. Start with a good piece of wood) and build it out to a point where sonic and playability-wise it rivals guitars at 3-4 times...

Thats correct (assuming you used the F :) ) the scale degrees would be 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and coming back from Melodic minor you;d just use a traditional descending Natural minor. Of course, this way is really archaic these days in modern usage, but you have the right idea now. GA

I just got this one, if youve heard the hype believe it. This thing's a dragon! I got a new Black Double agent too with the HB and P90s... GA

Congratulations. I checked it out and it's pretty accurate. GA

I have taught theory to literally hundreds of guitarists locally and around the world, and here is my answer. Learn it later. For now, just play the guitar, have fun with it, fall in love with it. Don't get tied and caught up in the details for now, just find what turns you on, and do that...

Definitely my tastes have changed. I learned first hand that the best playing guitars were not the ones that everyone mentions. Since the late 80's Ive been an ESP player, and probably will always have love for a Good ESP with JB and 59s. I have several of them. But beyond that I go for that...

They remind me of a cross between Minarik and Halo Guitars. I'm interested in seeing their progress. I'd also like to talk a little business when you get ready for release :) I am very impressed by what I'm seeing. Of course I own 27 guitars, and probably shouldn't be saying that. Maybe...

I'll suggest a set of SIT Strings, I use Rock N Roll gauge but Extra Light might work well for you. I've used them for years and many packs come with extra E's and B's in case you break on a few months in you have a quick swap. GA

If you mean this? That isn't even a complete C scale in general - its lacking the 4th (F). Harmonic Minor is a Minor with a (natural) or Major 7th some people call it a "raised" 7th but in fact in Minor raising the b7 would make it a natural 7th. C Harmonic Minor is C D Eb F G Ab and B...

Hello, GA here. I'm happy to find this place. Ive been playing for 25 years and am self taught, but my passion in life is teaching others and helping them with their questions on the guitar. The forum seems like a nice community with some really knowledgeable and helpful people. GA

Hi Kiteman, good question, and I see where you might think that, because the b3 is the sole determinant of whether a chord can be Major or Minor in its quality. But a Natural Minor scale differs from a Major scale in 3 ways. Let's put it another way. A Natural Minor scale is a Major scale...

I recently took on a student who used these mnemonics the way you mentioned, and what I found, is I had to re-teach him, because he couldn't find one without the other. I teach the whole fretboard in 4 to 6 lessons, and have for years, but it was especially difficult with this student. Not...

I found your take on modes to be quite balanced and accurate. In your jam track you were essentially playing a static or singular backing idea to the Dorian mode as you went through it. The point is well taken, the easiest way to explore a Modal sound is through a static Drone note of the root...

Forgive me for a late entry into this discussion. By the way this is my first forum post as well. Theory is something that presents you with what I guess you would call "wise" options on what you can do musically, but you don't have to. There are basically two kinds of notes. Notes that...
