@martinjstone I see the point of a youtube channel as a way to express yourself, and that's what he's doing. He has a faith in Jesus, and so he shared it. It may seem out of place in this specific video, but he had every right to say it.
@shipleyshipster "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'"
@van1980 I agree. Though there is no way to conclude what speech is of more value. And it all comes down to your own subjective opinion. If your an Atheist and you perceive Christians to be less intelligent, that's your subjective opinion. If you perceive the speech of someone else to be less intellectual, that again is your own subjective opinion. There is nothing inherently more intelligent about being Atheist either, in fact I could argue much the opposite. But that would also be subjective.
u act like the Gibson is mediocre.. i like that this is your opinion and i gotta respect that..but u talk a little bit of shit on it as if u are like some guitar expert.. as if the fact that it matches each of its own tones perfectly means nothing..it means nothing that it has a BEAUTIFUL warm sound..then u start to play.. and you kinda suck. maybe you should spend some time learning how to keep time. and i really don't care about your religious beliefs this is a guitar video.
@martinjstone He is able and fully willing to give you eternal life in heaven through your confession of sin and belief in His one and only deity.
though to most it may be tacky for me to be so outspoken, i know that in the end it will pay off and justify my efforts. it seems out of place because it is, but it is my duty (along with other Christians) to share with unbelievers that Jesus Christ died for everyone, and that they have an opportunity to live in heaven rather than hell for eternity.
@andrewlikesguitar It's actually annoying when people shove their religion down others' throats. We've all heard it all before, quoting a good book written by good-willed people who were unfortunately misunderstood (and mistranslated) and delivering it as fact isn't going to change anyone's mind.
@martinjstone no problem! i hope to do another video soon with a better camera. your question perplexes me ... please take the following as a respectful response with no intention of being rude. i bring my beliefs to the table in as many situations as possible. why? because i want people to know me and also ask why - like why am i a Christian? it gives me an open door to share some incredible news with someone who is open to hear about it but also needs it. Jesus loves and died for you.
The guitar would sound a lot better if you played more than just Loud and LOUDER, Raspy and RASPIER. You play that thing like you're wacking a non-believer with a baseball bat. You strum but apparently don't hear. A Collings or a Bourgeois or anything else won't change that sound. Besides, the Songwriter is an awfully sweet sounding axe. Probably the most consistent Gibson acoustic around (which unfortunately isn't saying much, since Gibson is pretty inconsistent). Just stop beating it up. Geez.
xultant - first of all, i will say before you leave "comments" on youtube, please resolve any arguments you have had before with your significant other ... or at lease have your morning coffee. your comments reflect your attitude.
the way i play shouldn't offend you. that's how i play. that's my style. gibsons are meant to be beaten ... mostly.
i don't appreciate your "wacking a non-believer with a baseball bat" reference. very offensive.
also, consider the camera/mic system the apple macbook has. it is terrible and notorious for causing audio to be sharp sounding (or mask my true playing) shoving the punchy notes into overdrive causing a disillusion.
for the most part, my songwriter is just very punchy, but i could beat it if you want me to for the sake of your rude comment.
my guitar is loud. you should hear it in person. i love it, and i will always have it. it is my work horse.
in my experience, my songwriter is the only songwriter i know that sounds awfully sweet. i've played more than 20 other songwriters and have found the rest absolutely disgusting (dull, no sustain, sterile). it used to be the most consistent ... now, gibson can't decide if they want to produce quality or uber expensive baseball bats.
woot awesome standing up for christ!, yea i was totally financially lacking (i just turned 16 literally yesterday) and the lord is providing and is giving ways to afford the music stuff i need so just ask and you will get whatever you want if u do with the right heart! God Bless, and keep the music coming!

@shipleyshipster Having the right to freedom of speech does not make all speech of equal value.

@shipleyshipster I'm not an atheist. That would be unscientific, as science deals with probability, not absolutes.

lastly, i am going to diss on gibson.
in my experience, my songwriter is the only songwriter i know that sounds awfully sweet. i've played more than 20 other songwriters and have found the rest absolutely disgusting (dull, no sustain, sterile). it used to be the most consistent ... now, gibson can't decide if they want to produce quality or uber expensive baseball bats.
geez.
