Where are we getting this baritone nonsense? It's 25.5 right?When I read its a 5 string baritone tuned with fifths I thought "it's a fucking celloblaster" :lol"
I thought it read somewheres it was 26.5 but I guess I misreadWhere are we getting this baritone nonsense? It's 25.5 right?
It's 25,5" - 25", actually. Perfect for your Grateful Deadest rendition of Alex Gregory's catalogue!Where are we getting this baritone nonsense? It's 25.5 right?
'nuff said. Please close the thread.Strandberg out here releasing a banjo and calling it "innovative."
This is basically a tenor guitar. Maybe somebody changed out of their budgie smugglersWhere are we getting this baritone nonsense? It's 25.5 right?
Do I have a problem with Instagram crossover posts? Please do let me know...Probably rage bait, and if anything I'm a Jacob Collier hater, however this is just how business operate in the current era. I'm not sure what your problem is with Instagram crossover posts or whatever, it's the same as a page with Slash playing a Les Paul in a late '80s issue of Guitar magazine...
There was once a time when people were excited to see what new and unique features guitars would have next instead of whining about who got a signature guitar - don't push a unique guitar to the side because you wouldn't play it since it isn't what you're used to if you want to see "true innovators". This is horribly ironic and why we don't see "true" innovation in the guitar circle.
I hear the new Strandberg Seasick Steve signature model has gone past prototype stage.“This five-string electric guitar is a literal dream of mine”: Strandberg and Jacob Collier’s game-changing signature guitar finally arrives this summer

To each their own, but this genuinely looks like a guitar made by fisher price.

EDIT: I can't find a single song of his that even uses a guitar.... modern guitar sigs make zero sense to me.
Very obvious marketing move. Even the biggest JC fanboy guitarists won't know what to even do with a five string instrument, so they did a standard version to grab the cash of this audience.I didn't see the specs, but it seems there will be a 6 string version as well

There's a few more and some even include Steve Vai.
I can understand the hate towards Collier. I have tremendous respect for him, certainly give him credit for actually making music, touring, getting guys like Quincy Jones and Steve Vai on his side, rather than just a barrage of throwaway 'content'. And I genuinely like his music, it is charming seeing a young guy treat music like a massive playground. But I don't love it. Since he takes the maximalist method when it comes to writing and arranging it gets fatiguing to listen to. If reharmonising was like a picture, Collier is like the guy who starts drawing and doesn't stop and goes on some more; like how most Warhammer 40k or Image comics in the 90s overdesign their characters. It's too much information and gets old quickly even to guys who love dense music, similar to how free jazz can be unlistenable to most.
Why do you have to characterise any critcism as hate?
Can't we just find him boring, gimmicky and derivative?
