Prefaced the video with we're not fans or students of this person. Spend the rest of the video glazing the guy, talking about how you were actually his students, and making silly excuses for his behavior. What is this video!? 🤣 🤣

Contrary to popular belief, the voice should not lose range/power with age. If you are singing with healthy vocal technique, there is no reason your voice should deteriorate. It may change as collagen builds up and alters your physiology, but vocal damage/strain is what leads to difficulty. The fact that he has to lip synch at all while healthy proves he knows jack shit. Some people are born with more access to the CT muscles so they can get really high pitched, powerful screams. Without proper technique though, our natural biological instinct to close up our throats/strain will inevitably cause nodules and other issues. If you really want to learn proper vocal pedagogy, look into opera singers. They have to cut through classical operas without a mic for hours sometimes. It’s possible to sustain your voice if you do it properly.

There is nothing wrong with saying that "as I age I have to rely on technology to provide a couple of the things that I used to do easily in my youth". Honest individuals will give you far more fan points for your honesty than you will lose to cretins who think that you are less of a performer because of the natural progression of the aging process. There is much wrong with lying about it and saying that the video did not contain vocal content that was taken from older recordings. It makes you appear dishonest. Magicians are not criticized for dishonesty because we agree to suspend our expectations of honesty and a lot of the fun of watching magic is trying to spot the dishonesty.. Musicians are not expected to be dishonest because if detecting the fakery becomes part of the experience, it seriously detracts from immersing yourself in the music.. There are times when it is reasonable for technological assists to be used (such as an aging vocalist or a massive concert extravaganza involving continuous physical exertion, etc.), and when used it is important to be up front about it. Everyone can relax and get on with enjoying the music.

Much better than Tamp-Dogg's lip synching, no?

Don’t worry Lance, if you say something wrong you can just insist it was Kelly 👯

The issue is that artists should be upfront about the fact that they are using technology to improve their vocals, not using the training that he sells.

Ken Tamperin’ ( with his voice)

“Leave Britney alone!” And also “Free Britney!” I got you guys ❤

The reason why people keep bashing Ken is because he refuses to admit what was proven, that he was lip syncing the higher notes during his recent concert. Because he refuses to admit it, people have found other things to criticize him about, such as also lip syncing during his TH-cam videos, deleting every negative comment on his videos, and there is also proof that he has paid to increase the number of subscribers to his channel. If he had just admitted that he was lip syncing parts of the concert, then the attacks would most likely have stopped. But Ken doesn't want to admit it because his motto is "The proof is in the singing," so he can't admit it without looking like a huge hypocrite. It seems pretty obvious that his singing style puts a lot of strain on his vocal chords and he can't reach those high notes consistently, especially during a full concert. I'm sure that his singing during his videos has been recorded in different parts because he can't reach all of those high notes during a single take. Perhaps he was able to do that 30 years ago, but not anymore. By the way, the guy on the right was wearing a nice shirt.

2 things 1) I meant to say that monitoring was way better when we were all analog so your kinda forced to melodyne 2). “Leave Britany alone”.

I have an eary t380 and love it. Love it more than my squier classic vibe. Grrat value. I am looking to buy a gw2

Thanks for posting this Lance, and thanks Amy, Mary, Steve, Doug and Tonia for commenting!

god i look fat.

Hi buddy, bought a gw2 pro from amazon uk and had nothing but problems, didn't want to send it back because I know a little about guitars so thought I could fix it, unfortunately it was problem after problem, wouldn't tune, then would tune but the action was awful, had to shim the neck to get adjustment on the tail saddles, it was a real shame because I really dig the vibe of ergo guitars. Anyway glad yours was cool👍

Spectacular! I love the beat and the lyrics!!! Such Talent.

Great stuff!! When do I get to see it live?

Sing with me Sing for a year Sing for the laughter Sing for the tear Sing with me if it’s just for today Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Cool!!! Love it!! Who knew Lance my old boss had such awesome voice!! Many talents you have! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️♥️♥️🦋🦋🦋🥂

Love this! D.IR.T still gets play time in my car.

The original u67 sounds a little darker. This has more high frequencies. Both are still great microphones but this mic seems to be more modern and the other was more vintage.

Just curious why your mic is so low compared to where your mouth is ? Also not using a pop filter will expose your capsule to contamination, breath,spit etc

I have their Tele and "335" and love both of them! Play them more than 10x price Gibbies and Fenders. Great review and please say hi to your mom for me...she made a cameo in the background!

Great sound guys! I like everything about this video!

T-380 landed her today. Tweaking and letting it settle. Beautiful guitar.

thank you

1 3/4 nut you sure on that had a few of that year mine was 11/16

No whammy version?

I love my Eart telecaster. Better neck than the big names . I’m a believer

I have the Explorer II which is the same identical guitar but with a headstock and I confirm this is a fantastic instrument the neck and fretwork are superior to guitars five time its price. I also have a superb Strat from Eart which is now double the price I have paid two years ago. Hurry up buying these guitars for Eart is raising its prices fast.

Outstanding!! The EART sounds incredible....

Very expensive guitars for that level of playing..

How is your after two months review?

Wow

Playing with a quarter while critiquing the sound?

I like a good inexpensive guitar, you don't need to baby it as bad. Playing my best guitar around the house worries me it could get damaged.

So you took it out of the box and tuned it to save editing time. A couple of minutes later you admit you also adjusted the truss rod before this video (BTW 2 quarter turns of the truss rod is a lot of adjustment). What other adjustments did you make before the video? Intonation maybe? Pickup height? Filed the nut slots?

Totally agree. Mine arrived a week ago and I absolutely love this thing. Once I tweaked the truss rod about a quarter turn and tuned it up, I found the setup was pretty close to the way I usually set up my guitars. I was also impressed with the fretwork and the accuracy of the intonation. The bridge has been updated from the reviews that were posted a year ago in that minor tuning can be done using the edge of a pick or a coin. I got the black one without the burl top veneer thinking I would probably sand the paint down and round over the edges with my router. I may do that later, but for now i’m leaving it alone. I was prepared to change out the pickups, but found them to be quite good. Like the poster, I own many guitars, everything from Squiers to PRS and Taylors, but this has got to be among my best purchases in a while. I hope the company will make a custom case or gig bag available. I bought a cheap gig bag that was made to fit a mini-strat, and I took the guitar and a Rushead Max headphone amp with me on a vacation to Turks and Caicos where I am currently writing these comments from a deck overlooking the ocean. The guitar fit easily in the overhead bins on both flights and came through unscathed. I also found that I can hang the guitar using a StringSwing that I was hanging my ukulele from. This was a great find.

Holy Shit Dude. IDK if anyone ever mentioned this to you, but from a side profile, you Look Identical to Kris Kristofferson . Great Review too btw. Thanks

I've had my W2 about a month and it's great. Stays in tune and easy to string. My frets were perfect. Paid 369 Amazon.

I can hear the difference. The PRS is the first verse and the Eart is the 2nd. But I agree they are close.

Very well written and performed! Excellent work!

Loved it! Especially the dancing...

1-3/4" nut? where did that come from..This period Martin Dreds all were built with 1-11/16" nut widths.

I have a Klaus Heyne U87 and it’s the best sounding mic I have. It has these emotional, silky highs that bring out the raspiness and air out of my voice. It’s like someone is pulling these frequencies out of my throat. JJP Vocals has a magic fader that comes closest to the phenomenon in terms of acoustic depiction.

Is that a banjo in there? that's not a sound from Mars, is it?

So those are the sounds from Mars? Just confirming. (said dryly with a small bit of wit).

Good advice, especially in the spring. Brought a tear to my eye.

This song was hilarious...I just can’t stop laughing. Great Job!!

Lance & Kelly, love the Kenny tribute and your harmony on the Choruses!

For my voice the MEC1a seems to win the blind shootouts for us. The API 500 paired with a TT-CL1B is a close second. Klaus recommends an orginal NEVE which I (we...my bro and I) don't have, but I am really happy with the Vintage 67/MEC1a combo.
