Went to a guitar store in 1Utama and first tried a seagull, was a cherry back n sides, then asked to try their martin. The staff brought me in and ask me to tune the guitar myself, with ears ,which I couldn't . Then I played the guitar n said the words in the topic, and to my surprised he was triggered
 He said if I cant tune the guitars by ear, it means my ears aren't good enough to differentiate a high quality guitar from a lower  Any of you experienced this before? I still find Martins overpriced , RM8000 for a guitar that sounds like a RM2000 one  |

QUOTE(Peiyantiu @ Jan 24 2018, 12:25 PM) Rm20,000 or rm800 guitar, no difference if dunno how to play. Haha I agree with youYoutube got those european fellas playing fingerstyle with inexpensive guitars. When they started, some of their guitars only a few hundred ringgit unknown brand one. But they got a few million views. Then later got sponsor. The sponsored guitar also cheaper than martin or Taylor. So, how expensive guitar you have is no use. How well u can play is more important. Best if u use kapok and play like Sungha Jung. That's why I only upgrade my guitar to Lakewood after playing Sungha's songs for eight year and can perform his songs flawlessly. Before I got this guitar I always told myself that I shouldn't degrade a lengendary guitar with my skills. Now when I use this guitar to play all the old songs I have learnt and it sounds just like what Ive dreamt of  |

QUOTE(Peiyantiu @ Jan 25 2018, 08:48 AM) Seriously if I can play half as good as Sungha, I will use a super cheap guitar and put out some youtube video. I don't think getting sponsored is so easyOut there, generally those who can't play insist on expensive guitars. Really good guitarist seldom need to even buy their own. They can play any guitar and most of the time get to play sponsored guitars. When have you seen famous footballers buying their own football boots? I think it takes more than the ability to play arrangement done by other guitarists IMHO I nid to write arrangement by myself n sound very good n unique, which frankly I can't , I don't know how to arrange songs It only takes time to master an arrangement written by others , but it takes both time n talent n lots of musical knowledge to write one |
