Could we consider this a guitar fail?

[jodstasic]

damn he completely forgot how to play guitar

[riffnshred]

Vernon you're an awesome guitarist but... Get a better tone for this lesson! Sounds like a 13 year old at Guitar Center recorded this

@JNighthawk7x you my good man are brilliant

@monstajosh71

You're totally right. The tone he's using here makes people think he sucks, but he doesn't: everyone would sound like shit with this kind of tone lol.

(not to be racist in any way) but i never knew these guys were black until now...

[monstajosh71]

yep - that tone is odd but, VR has always had an odd tone. having a bad sound (odd tone) just hi-lights to me how good he is. I see many guitarists get so hung up on tone and to the point they can not play anything without a good wall of sound behind them. try playing well with less than quality set up and see how you sound - prolly pree bad... until you master the basics. Vernon, can you play this again but with a wall of sound ...please
