@Ericclapton325 - You've got a great ear! Yes, they are all influences of mine. Bonamassa more lately, but 4 years ago when I made this video it was a lot more Clapton.
Excellent play. So what if you stayed in one pentatonic... you exploited it well. I clicked on your video to check out the sound and play of the Guitar/Neck/Pickup combo. Thanks for a great demo. You'll get better everytime you play. Don't look over your shoulder at those you pass. They are where they need to be.
do you think that this is as good as a stevie ray vaughan strat? thanks and awesome playing by the way.. this video is giving me second thoughts on buying a new srv strat
@michaelgroenewald7 Yes. I don't like them but a lot of guitar players do. Just a matter of one's tonal pallet. I'm a huge fan of Seymour Duncan and Tonerider pickups. Good to hear from you. Trying to find a good tube amp head Blues. Any suggestions?
I know its a keeley modded tubescreamer but what's the tubescreamer model? TS9? TS808? because you've got an amazing sound going on there and i'm really getting frustrated with trying out loads of overdrive pedals that don't satisfy my needs...
i dunno what desputes y'all have but you got some chops bud. i am getting this guitar by the way. i hope it delivers. i am an american fan but i figure why not right.
keep it up bro, you sound sickk, although if i may say, get a new mic, and turn up your amp more, hahaha =P basically, i want the video in hd, and sound quality better, hahaha
....improve our playing. Your comments essentially read that you are the authority in judging other's guitar skills because you've been there done that, and did it great. By the way, where's those sound clips, vids, backyard 8mm films or whatever showcases your talent??
@qcklx Dude how you gonna know what to improve on if someone doesn't tell you? One day you will look back on this as an experience that helped you improve. Try to see the positive side as well. You are young and you have time on your side to learn and improve. Your passion will get you there no doubt!

TheStratplayer1- The difference between you and BB, Muddy, etc...is their ability to remain humble and respectful, despite their absolutely superior guitar skills. You might just be an awesome guitarist, that's just heresay so far, but your comments are abrasive and self-promoting. Criticizing while stamping down your laundry list of venues you've played is just arrogant. I welcome constructive criticism, because we ALL can I
@qcklx@qcklx I am a Tutor in performing arts and a musician of 35 years professionally so it is constructive comments.... if you want to get all sensitive about it and- not take it how it was given (constructively) you will never improve- and after all- you did ask for comments I am entitled to an opinion and to do just that. Lastly this is a world forum and you get judged by your performance because you asked... I have nothing to prove- I am comfortable in my own skin..
TheStratplayer1 - sorry you didn't like the video, everyone can't be a fan I guess. Thanks for the "constructive" criticism. Do you by chance have any videos of your awesome blues skills? I'd love to learn from one of the greats...
@qcklx try BB King or Muddy Waters, or Clapton or Buddy guy- the don't play flat and out of key? They get more out of a single note than most people get out of 10 phrases- I don't have a video but I do have MP3's online of me playing the Blues on Soundclicks? and comments... do you really want to go there....
@qcklx lol. the stratplayer guy tht mkes those dumb comments is a punk. lotta ppl can talk smack and criticize other ppl whn they dont have a video of themselves for others to talk about. but awesom playing and awesome guitar. im thnking about getting tht same one............just waiting for my credit to clear up........wish me luck!!!! lol
@53bluzer sorry to disappoint you and the guitarist but that aint the blues- the timing is shocking and hes playing flat half the time and out of key? The phrasing is not measured and/or distinct its just a wall of ad lib and improvisation without any aim or any real focus.... he is over reaching his limitations. However; he is young and has potential. Sorry but professional musicians and bluesman do not get paid for potential.... its tough love but- Quality feedback makes us improve...

really great dude. if I could say anything it'd be to advise a tid bit more syncopation. It might just be my own style of playing, but I usually like to disregard meter when I do my runs and stuff.
but boy, that sounds amazing. I'm crazy about your tone
hey that lick at 4.44 was nice, i just bought this guitar yesterday,its comin next week :),always wanted a strat,what you guys think of it?iv heard good stuff,just wondering is it any good for feedback and sustain?good vid
the regular blues scale is in minor, when he switches to the major solo scale it's always 3 frets down, so instead of soloing in E minor he's switched to E major. Eric clapton does this a lot, for example the sunshine of your love solo starts off in major (with some weird notes added in though) and then switches over. It's always 3 frets down and applies to to any chords.
He's playing notes not scales. If you slow it down he hits lots of different notes from different modes, but yeah he does toy with the major third, the major 7th, the dorian sixth and the major 2nd if that's any help.
The '50s is based on a '50s strat and as such has a maple neck, classic '50s finishes (shorline gold and 2-tone sunburst), a V shape neck, and more '50s orientated electronics.
The '60s has a rosewood fretboard, '60s finishes (sonic blue and 3-colour sunburst), a C shaped neck, and '60s style electronics (including custom shop '69 pickups).
my last question, oh and thanks for your reply:). The is a fender classic Player 60, and a classic series 60, whats the difference between them? MIM and american? a bit weird that an old friend of mine decided to buy a fender 60: so i asked:" classic player?!" no no just a 60's strat, is that the classic series?
The classic and Classic Player are both MIM, but the Classic Player is custom shop designed. The CP has upgraded pickups, a 12" radius compared to the 7.25 of the classic. The classic player has a USA 2-point bridge with vintage saddles, while the classic has a 6-point. The CP has Medium jumbo frets compared to the vintage small frets on the Classic. The Classic Player retails for about 1,100 while the classic for about 700-800 bucks
The 50's also has a 9.5 " radius neck, and the 60's has a 12" radius neck. The 50's has a custom wiring setup that's different than the regular strat wiring. the 50's has locking vintage tuners. The 50's has 57/62 pickups.
that is really good but its can be better if u not play only on one pentatonic form and once a... alittle bit get wild anyone nice and try to shade the solo with more froms and more scales
@qcklx Your playing is great-don't listen to anyone else--during some Hendrix solos, he stayed in the same position the entire time! (of course though, that was Hendrix!) Keep it up!
In Australia, even when the US and Aussie dollar are almost at parity (or were when a guitar was imported) we get charged around $1800 for it. I think most of the extra cost is Fender Australia taking a cut. The greedy fags.
@pronumeral1446 What? all not well in "the lucky country" and "the land of Milk and honey" lol I bought a few toys when I was gigging over there- two Fender Twin Reverbs, a Black Les Paul custom and a Les Paul Gold top. As well as a Strat (only a 70's Strat and a white Les Paul Junior) That was from playing RSL's, Pub gigs and opening for Aussie Crawl; Chisel and Few US artists in some 12,000 seater Concert halls in Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide lol
@tnrh1 Man, what he's doing is just fine. You must be from this younger generation of nothing but critics and whiners. Chill... it's fine. He's jammin'
I've seen them listed for 799.99 and then the jump up to 1,109.99. ProGuitarShop still has some for 799.99. I wonder if they were talking about the classic series or something. Personally I think it's crap that these prices are getting jacked up so high.
i have this guitar, i think it was more around 800 as a standard price, maybe his was on sale. i know mine was only 700 cause it had been on the shelf awhile and it was the only one left.
oh believe me i know my guitars, and its a classic players 60's strat. its got the custom pickups and everything. i think all music companies are jacking up prices though cause of the economy.
yes the prices did raise that much. You used to be able to pick them up discounted for around $600. Regular price was around $800. List price is now $1100. Glad I got mine when I did for $475.
it's icy-blue... it looks white-ish on its own but when you're actually holding it you can clearly see it blue.... kinda like one shade lighter than baby blue... if it makes sense :p
I'm trying to decide between this guitar, a standard american strat and a highway 1 strat. I play alot of punk rock leaning into metal but whenever i solo i always make sure its all blues :) Good playing too!
They are better. A little more clear and articulate. I dont think you will disappointed in this strat if you get one. The tube screamer doesn't hurt either..
o.k., anyone who knows (fender)guitars i would really really appreciate the help.I am getting a new fender guitar for christmas and i am allowed to get any one under the price range of 1200 dollars. I have been in between many gutars and cannot make up my mind which one i want. I have been in between the classic player 50s, the new highway one and the new american standard and i dont know which one to pick. Also if you know of any other great models by fender let me know. Thanks a lot!
i would say go for the american standard. or if u can splurge a just a bit of extra dough go for the american deluxe. i have the american deluxe and trust me, itll last you probably forever
in my opinion, the classic player's 50's is the best choice. i think the american standard is VERY muddy, and it doesn't stay in tune AT ALL. the 60's is actually designed by custom shop and built with a couple of custom shop parts, and it has one of the best bridges you can get for a strat. hope this helps!
dude i have a fender american strat deluxe and it is incredible. Im also in the same situation as Ihsg2012. Im gonna get a fender for christmas. I had my mind set on a tele but the classic player series is lookin pretty good
if u can go try out some of the vintage reissues. i tried the 52 tele and the 62 strat and couldnt let either of them go. so maybe once i have some money ill get one of those. they do require some extra cash
yea. Im excited to go and try out vintage reissues. But part of the reason I want a tele is because i want to get a different model instead of another strat. But i guess it comes down to preference when im actually playing them. Do you know what the price was on those guitars? on the 52 tele?
I have been pondering this same question for years, and I own an american standard. I regret getting it.
The fact is that the only reason americans are more expensive is because of the american craftsmanship. You can find a mexican that feels just as good as an american, you just need to look around.
Anyway, look into the Classic 50s strat. AMAZING strat. $700. Classic Player 60s is great as well, but the pickups are very different.
The Pickups in these guitars are in fact the same pickups that the Abigail signature comes on, Just the later model classic player 60's were wound by a team trained by AY and not herself.
If you buy a set of cs69 pickups they are the same as these pickups.
Just to clarify for others though, it's a classic players, not a custom shop piece. Custom shop pieces are near impossible to distinguish from actual 50-70's era strat's.
That is a great sounding strat none-the-less. You have some good licks in there, sounds cool.
i was just curious. how does the 60's strat compare to the american strats playing/sound wise. because im extremely interested in buying one in the same color urs is. im a blues player like urself. with a fender hotrod deville. lemme know wat u think
meaty sound lol

uhm you said this strat was 600 dollars at gc???
because uhm its listed for 1,100
did the recent price jump really raise the price THAT much???
almostepic00 3 years ago
I've seen them listed for 799.99 and then the jump up to 1,109.99. ProGuitarShop still has some for 799.99. I wonder if they were talking about the classic series or something. Personally I think it's crap that these prices are getting jacked up so high.

i have this guitar, i think it was more around 800 as a standard price, maybe his was on sale. i know mine was only 700 cause it had been on the shelf awhile and it was the only one left.

you sure you dont have the classic SERIES 60s strat? =P
because now the price on those at musicians friend is about 850
honestly i dont feel really good about buying an imported guitar for close to a thousand..
but i guess fender sees it necessary to jack up prices in effort to stay afloat..
still affordability always made fenders that much better in my eyes..
not have to break the bank to get a quality instrument ya know?.
almostepic00 3 years ago
oh believe me i know my guitars, and its a classic players 60's strat. its got the custom pickups and everything. i think all music companies are jacking up prices though cause of the economy.
hvrock13 3 years ago
maybe the guitar for 1.100 dollars is worn out series...
GuitarThrill 2 years ago
no the Road worn is cheaper at about 900-950, the CLASSIC PLAYER series is 1,100. They used to be around 800 before the price hike
YogiSizzle 2 years ago
Classic Player is about 500 euro in Europe .. I think it would be strange that they are more expensive near the place they come from.
Sick1982 2 years ago
yes the prices did raise that much. You used to be able to pick them up discounted for around $600. Regular price was around $800. List price is now $1100. Glad I got mine when I did for $475.

is it more white or blue? cause in the fender pictures seems completely white, but now it seems blue...
piviman 3 years ago
it's icy-blue... it looks white-ish on its own but when you're actually holding it you can clearly see it blue.... kinda like one shade lighter than baby blue... if it makes sense :p

I'm trying to decide between this guitar, a standard american strat and a highway 1 strat. I play alot of punk rock leaning into metal but whenever i solo i always make sure its all blues :) Good playing too!

Highway 1!!!
rubberducky3201 3 years ago
They are better. A little more clear and articulate. I dont think you will disappointed in this strat if you get one. The tube screamer doesn't hurt either..

idiotboxx999 3 years ago
o.k., anyone who knows (fender)guitars i would really really appreciate the help.I am getting a new fender guitar for christmas and i am allowed to get any one under the price range of 1200 dollars. I have been in between many gutars and cannot make up my mind which one i want. I have been in between the classic player 50s, the new highway one and the new american standard and i dont know which one to pick. Also if you know of any other great models by fender let me know. Thanks a lot!
ihsg2012 3 years ago
i would say go for the american standard. or if u can splurge a just a bit of extra dough go for the american deluxe. i have the american deluxe and trust me, itll last you probably forever
xdivinebladex 3 years ago
in my opinion, the classic player's 50's is the best choice. i think the american standard is VERY muddy, and it doesn't stay in tune AT ALL. the 60's is actually designed by custom shop and built with a couple of custom shop parts, and it has one of the best bridges you can get for a strat. hope this helps!
GNRjungle87 3 years ago
dude i have a fender american strat deluxe and it is incredible. Im also in the same situation as Ihsg2012. Im gonna get a fender for christmas. I had my mind set on a tele but the classic player series is lookin pretty good
jasonater12 3 years ago
if u can go try out some of the vintage reissues. i tried the 52 tele and the 62 strat and couldnt let either of them go. so maybe once i have some money ill get one of those. they do require some extra cash
xdivinebladex 3 years ago
yea. Im excited to go and try out vintage reissues. But part of the reason I want a tele is because i want to get a different model instead of another strat. But i guess it comes down to preference when im actually playing them. Do you know what the price was on those guitars? on the 52 tele?
jasonater12 3 years ago
a 52 tele new is about 1500. for the 62 strat its about 1650. kinda pricey but so worth it

jOsHkInG101 3 years ago
I have been pondering this same question for years, and I own an american standard. I regret getting it.
The fact is that the only reason americans are more expensive is because of the american craftsmanship. You can find a mexican that feels just as good as an american, you just need to look around.
Anyway, look into the Classic 50s strat. AMAZING strat. $700. Classic Player 60s is great as well, but the pickups are very different.
jdawg4098 3 years ago
The Pickups in these guitars are in fact the same pickups that the Abigail signature comes on, Just the later model classic player 60's were wound by a team trained by AY and not herself.
If you buy a set of cs69 pickups they are the same as these pickups.

Great sounding guitar man.
Just to clarify for others though, it's a classic players, not a custom shop piece. Custom shop pieces are near impossible to distinguish from actual 50-70's era strat's.
That is a great sounding strat none-the-less. You have some good licks in there, sounds cool.
TuesdaysJustAsBad 3 years ago
it is designed by custom shop and made with custom shop parts, though.
