  • i have 4 knobs and balls on my 64

  • i dont understand why everyone says les pauls are heavy. im only 14 and i dont find it heavy at all

  • @Millertron96 Because they're thick, mahogany guitars. Most guitars don't weigh more than half of a les paul.

  • @ 2:24 damn dude you're so wrong, what's happening here is that u got some shit distortion on, try on a STANDARD SG with a Valve marshall amp and you'll notice the huge difference with that crude natural distortion from the amp. in my opinion, an sg is as good as a les paul in terms of sound, and if you're looking for some AC/DC sounds, try out the SGs but dont put such distortion with line 6 and try to compare sounds :) Anyway, you play nice, nice video keep it up cheers

  • I see this guy play and it makes me feel the last 24 years practicing means shit

  • Hey guys i havee a gibson sg special faded with a hard case and a wah pedal for only $1300 im located in australia victoria

  • @jhonnyfifafreak11 can i see a picture of it?

  • quit it with the line 6!

  • oh my god this guy is so bad at guitar lol

  • whos that fucking guitar you have man ! great sound, great lesson !!! congrats !!!!

  • 0:39 CooOOoooOOol

  • @SlackBabbathTs HAHA

  • TNT

  • poor guitar. hope angus young will teach this guy how to rock a sg (:

  • I had a Polaris White 1974 SG stolen from me.  If you see it please let me know.

  • @Subhuman80 Serial number? What model? Chips, dings, replaced parts, identifying marks? Anything unique about it? Where it was stolen? There's a lot of 74s in Polaris white around the world. Nobody can tell it's your guitar if they don't know what to look out for

  • I like how he uses cheap old guitars through really nice amps then he puts beautiful instruments like this through crappy Line 6 modelers. Not dissing Line 6 or modelers, but why not show us what this sounds like?

  • Why do people who review guitars always either play heavy metal or bluesy riffs? Why can't they play some punk or alternative riffs? Really pisses me off. It's always the same scales and pinch harmonics and shitty riffs, never any fast power chords. Bull shit

  • there's not really a lot wrong with the spider amps for the price, they do the job, the lead guitarist in my band uses one and he sounds alright although his first one did die because he turned it up too loud (an amplifier should NOT do that). The only problem i have with them is that they kind of cover up how your guitar sounds, which is pretty useless when doing a review like this, especially with that much gain.

  • sounds like shit

  • Comment removed

  • shitty sound

  • they sound really "well" ?

  • Bruce Willis.. A bit.

  • now where is the AC/DC part ? all ive heard is an ugly SG special through a line 6 (crappola) amp in a 80's hairspray metal setting ...

  • Line 6 is good for shitty guitars, as a begginer amp, its amazing, cuz you always sound well, but that should only be till you get a better guitar and a better amp. btw hehe a VINTAGE Line 6. ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD!!!

  • Line 6 amps don't suck that bad. I own one, and it's fine for practice, but I've got a

    Marshall JCM 800 as well and of course, it kicks the Line 6's ass.

    This guy gives Line 6 a bad name.  They're actually a LOT better than how he makes them sound.

  • @slysendice i found line 6 amps to have a good tone aswell but i prefer my vox vt30 to have a warmer tone but you cant beat a marshall stack

  • wtf LINE 6???

  • Ok, haters, maybe he shouldn't be using a Gibson SG on a Line 6 amp. But you've probably never owned a Line 6 amp or even played one. They are decent amps.

  • FFs if your are a guitar player or a teacher you should know that you are not supposed to use a Line 6 amp some tips

    do much bass tone turn it off

    Not good over all hope the collector don´t use the Line 6 amp or I am dissepointed

  • Is Standard lighter than Special?

    Does anybody here know the weight difference?

    Thanks.

  • @TheFILIPHENOM SG's in general are ultra lightweight so I think it won't be much of an issue.

  • POS

  • Grab a 2010 model Epiphone G400 62 SG while you still can this SG has been called much better than the GIBSON faded SG AND JUST AS GOOD AS THE GIBSON STANDARD SG I ALSO AGREE WITH THAT!

  • @stratdem speak english.

  • @stratdem not that i'm saying epiphones are bad guitars at all, but that's just silly. think about it rationally and logically - gibson owns epiphone and thus are the same company. would the same company really make a much cheaper guitar anywhere near as good as one that costs £1000 more? it's not gonna happen.

    obviously a good setup can do a lot for any guitar, but there's a good reason why gibsons are more expensive than epiphones.

  • you are a loser

  • thats so bad its noise all the guitars sound the same synthetic overdrive on numer 11

  • Use a Peavey Vyper, ok?

  • what kind of bridge is that?

  • Please, get rid of that amp. Dont torture any more good guitars with it!

  • wanna get a good amp for a cheap price?Go to guitar center.Marshall mg30fx 30 watt amp $200

  • @younggunna774 MG.... good amp? lmao

  • @MattC891 I HAVE A 2007 Marshall MG 100HDFX half stack i use

    along side a original 1982 Marshall JCM800 and its a perfect match

    i use these two half stacks together 4 nights a week with no problems

    i wouldnt have it any other way.

  • how do u get hermonics i cabt seem to get hermonics on my les paul please help me

  • @clubpengui1n

    The simplest way is to lightly rest a fretting hand finger on any string at the 12th fret and lift it off just as you pluck it. Once you can do that for each string, try at others. You'll notice this method only really works at a few frets.

  • well thats probably the ugliest sg i have seen in my life........... plus..... line 6??? atleast a freeaking fender or marshall or something but really????

  • This guitar is made for ACDC's songs so all of you STFU!!!!!!!!

  • haha u guys are so stupid

  • that mp sounds like shit manj

  • what's a line 6 amps?

  • @zer0gam3r noob

    its aan amp dhuu

  • @zer0gam3r It's a Digital guitar amp that has a very SYNTHETIC sound.

  • why the fuck would you test a gibson sg on a line 6 amp lmao. if it had tubes i would understand maybe but still..

  • Get. That. "Amp". The. Hell. Outta. Here. Use a VOX, a Marshall, or even a Fender.

  • this guy is probably the worst guitarist I have heard in my freaking life.. that riff in the beginning was pure noise...

  • The SG has great tone, and between the nobs and switch you can find a good tone for almost anything, a simple fender amp will do just fine, let the pickups do the work.

  • line 6 amps are awesome

  • Line 6 doesnt suck if u know how to set it up correctly. First dont even put the drive halfway, just a little bit more below the halfway mark. Use the hi gain channel instead of the insane channel if u wanna play rock or hard rock with the drive a little below the halfway mark because Line 6 doesnt have any numbers on the knobs. The crunch channel is for playing softer music like folk or reggae or whatever. I have a Line 6 spider 4 and I know how to make it sound like a Fender amp or a Marshall

  • @santanaincubus i agree, ihave a peavy vypyr 15, and i can make it sound like a marshall plexi.

  • @guitarkid222 Yeah man. I think it depends on the user, if they know how to set up their amps and what kind of amps or brand they prefer. Line 6 has a lot of range from playing soft music to hard music and it doesnt sound terrible only if the user knows how to set up the sound with those knobs.

  • @guitarkid222 Thats bollocks i'm afraid.

  • Comment removed

  • he's trying them all out and surprising they sound pretty much the same, i wonder why that is............dave wanna explain why?

  • @rgjmce666 its because like 80% of the ound is made by the amp and not the guitar:P

  • worst guitar reviews on youtube

  • Dude, you have to rid yourself of those POS line5 amps. a Silvertone Strat clone would sound the sme.

    The Fender emulators sound better if you have to use one.

  • the subscribe button isn't yellow anymore!^^

  • hes still learning...

  • this AMP sounds like a dogfart...^^

  • you will go deaf!!!

  • thats one ugly sg. i like the 61-70's sgs and recent and reissues, but the late 70s and 80s just look ugly.

  • You were playing a Gibson? Through that amp it sounded like you were taking a shit.

  • wats with the small cut aways on the sg

  • yep, say acdc in the title and play some heavy crap through a crap amp that makes total sense!

  • why do you play on that piece of shit amp?!

  • do a review on a fender twin reverb or super reverb

  • this guitar sucks

  • i think line 6 doesnt show the true tone of the guitar,its too digital

  • I really like how he can't describe the sound of a guitar, all he says is that it's ballsy. Also every guitar that has humbuckers, he uses distortion; and every guitar that has single coils, he uses clean, wtf?! Another bias asshole who sucks Gibson dick.

  • @ShortFingeredShreder

    Totally agree man! The point is to hear how those humbuckers sound clean and not the useless distortion.

  • @ShortFingeredShreder yeah he very obviously knows next to nothing about guitars, and can't play very well. So what makes them think people are going to value these reviews? How the hell did they get this many subscribers?!?! They suck. This is an example of why the idiot population is growing. Because too many people are listening to dipshits like this guy who very obviously know very little about what they're portraying to be an expert at. Dude can't even name the EQ channels correctly!

  • ballsy????

  • how much is the cheapest gibson

  • @rafilakers That would be the Melody Maker which is $489.00

  • wow you can play in drop-d, big ma fukn deal

  • yes. that heaviness is called mahogany sir.

  • I like the bridge..Gibson should still make them like that

  • He keeps throwing in notes that just do NOT fit at all, and he bends so much those strings probably needed changingwhen he was done cause he stretched them beyond further playability... Also when he does tapping, he adds in notes that don't go with the others, and makes it sound a little over crowded at times...

  • You gotta quit using the distortion man. All of your videos are pointless if your using distortion because basically, every single guitar with 2 humbucker pickups sound exactly the same, with absolutely no difference whatsoever when using distortion. Play some clean once in a while to let us actually hear the guitar and not some digital amp crap that makes every guitar the same..

  • mmkay...mmkay...34 TIMES!! mmkay

    Southpark much?

  • you bend too much, and too often

  • how does he make the heavy harmonic sound at 2:45? i know how to do pinch harmonics, i just don't know how to make it a deeper sound.

  • @DanPotthast1 It's a pinch as usual. He just has a deeper tone via the amp and or eq.

  • he sucks he plays the same thing everytime

  • good job. you just performed the unspeakable act of using a gibson sg special on a line 6 piece of shit digital crapperamp

  • LINE 6 AMPS SUCK ELEPHANT DICK

  • @anthonycrystal33 I don't get how line 6 sucks? they obviously dont if tons of people buy them all the time

  • @tonyLasa zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzz

  • @tonyLasa people buy crap, why else would people like walmart.......mass buying of things doesn't make them good like pop star's albums people buy crap......they buy line 6 because they are cheap amps.......infact all solid state amps suck elephant dick!!

  • @Tassel0

    I'm pretty sure the Roland JC120 is solid state, and a legendary amp...

  • @FrancisTheGook

    really? Who that's a legend plays one??? Now......block logo Marshalls on the other hand are legendary amps

  • @Tassel0 Marshalls are so damn overused.

  • @Vulcanized FUCK u then!!!!!

  • @Tassel0 nice point. but i still dont think line 6 sucks. but people do buy crap

  • @Tassel0 YOU ROCK! Anolog beats Digital (synthetic) any DAY!!!

  • @anthonycrystal33 ya they do i like peaveys

  • @anthonycrystal33 im not a big fan of Line 6, but have you tried the the spider 4 series? its not amazing but it does show that Line 6 is improving.

  • @anthonycrystal33 just like you fag

  • @manu4lifewwe oh fuck off with those mum-commentaries

  • @RockyCatOrganism don't get involved cat orgasm pmsl

  • Comment removed

  • @anthonycrystal33 u know,,, when u'r not speakin 2 someone upfront u don't hav 2 be formal. and i'm not really sure why we're arguing, it's just because u sed line 6 were shit and in my own opinion line 6 spider iv's are very good quality, u can get u'r marshall's and wot not which costs a bomb, but the line 6's are affordable and very much worth the money. sorry 4 the negative comments.

  • @manu4lifewwe peace!

  • @anthonycrystal33 3 reasons why they suck? Do you own one? Do you know how to use them? Well actaully I admit that the Spider III series suck dick I was disappointed in that series of the spider

  • vintage wrap around bridge =D

  • if i want tony iomi pickups...is it better to buy a Gibson sg special or sumthn and then put the pickups in...or just get the epiphone tony iommi sg

  • sg special sucks man trust me my friend had one, i have an iommi sg and it kicks ass for what it is, its a really good deal go with the epi

  • your a dumbass, the epiphone version is nothing compared to the gibson model. trust me i own both. but dont get me wrong, the epiphone doesnt really sound bad, but the gibson is better.

  • Epiphone sucks. I have an Epiphone Firebird, it is the worst fucking excuse for an instrument I've ever played.

  • good for u, i still like my epiphone sg special, but i like the gibson more. i could care less what u think...

  • The gibson tony iommi is WAY better than the epi version, but the gibson sg special is garbage, id rather stick with my epi

  • my bad. the epi i hav is a special, but still sounds good. the gibson sg i have isn't a special, its a satndard which is way better

  • OMFG 5:26 - I was just WAITING for him to say that. I dare this guy to go 5 fucking minutes without saying "ballsy"!

  • @ExplodingBody

    Not to be a dick, but I had to point out, if he said it at 5:26, technically it was over five minutes.

  • Ha! Yeah, good point lol. You got me.

  • @ExplodingBody Teehee!

  • i like sg's. but i don't like that sg.

  • i have one in wine red

  • @epicness27 an what gigbag brings with it? A hard one?

  • yeah

  • Angus Young never played the SG Special. He played '68 or '67 SG's until he had his own custom made. He did play a '69 in a few videos, but never live or on an album.

  • I'm gonna go take a nap...

  • norlin era gibson's are useless.

    i would never buy this guitar.

  • you play very good on all the guitars review YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!

  • ohhh it's u dude

    thnx for ur vids

  • I agree.

  • Hey i just put down a payment for a gibson sg special at gc i would reccomend the special because the sound is outstanding think of the by acdc fly on the wall thats what they sound like and theyre easy to play

  • I like the les paul heaviness personally... it feels more like... iunno it feels fullfilling xD

  • For people who really want an SG, I have noticed this guy isn't very negative in his reviews of SG's.

    He mentioned that Firebirds are top heavy and fails to mention that SG's are the same.

    They are also still extremely fragile I have an 05 standard and one too many spills from stand to tile floor put a crack in neck.

    other than that it is a great guitar but it is the glass cannon of gibsons.

    If you want a guitar that can take a beating get a les paul.

  • how is an SG top heavy? its a symmetrical guitar =] haha. i dont really understand how its topheavy, sorry.

  • Not 100% sure but I guess it means that if you're not holding the neck, the headstock drops down (rather than staying level). I own an Epi SG and it does that, so you have to be a little careful it doesn't hit anything.

  • the frets would be medium jumbo since its a gibson.

  • cut off the metal riffs...

  • HE LOOKS LIKE MY SCIENCE TEACHER LOL

  • Dr. House!!!!

  • i love the sound of SG,, thick, perfect humbuckers for metal riffs!

  • You described that in kinda a sexual way...

  • yeah... i want to have this one, but first i want a schecter,, or a les paul

  • Hmm nice, I am going to get one for Christmas. I was wondering should I get a Electric Guitar? Or another Accoustic but very good?

  • for me, get a an electric one, coz electic guitars will improve your skills,,,

  • Improve skills?? How the hell electric guitars improve skills???

  • i mean... if you play an electric guitar, your learning are not limited.. coz you will be using some effects and at the same time you can play the clean sound, unlike on an acoustic guitar.. youll just concentrating on acoustic... on an electric guitar you can play a lot of genre..

  • speed? bends?

  • u can hear your mistakes easier when u play through an amp.

  • using too much gain

  • is it just me or do those frets look like non-jumbo.. uncharacteristic for gibson

  • i think they used those flat "vintage" frets around this era...i know for sure they did in the 70's but im not sure about this one. thas what it looks like tho

  • eh, not my thing... find me something else...

  • decent sound but it is through a line 6 so...

  • anyone know a good website to buy guitars at??

  • NO WEBSITE!!! Music stores are better cuz you can see and play the guitar before deciding to buy it

  • musicians friend

  • thomann . de but I recommend going to a store
