@Sam Tidwell: _" aggressively call me brother"_ I'm dying laughing. I remember how that was a term of endearment a couple decades ago. Now it really is more often an aggressive thing most often used to imply some sort of right wing racist comaraderie. But the reason it's funny here is because Sammy is not _that guy._
The guy who wrote that jingle sold it for a flat rate. He also wrote the "Here Comes the King" Budweiser song, and he still gets a cut every time they make their Christmas commercial.
Me: Sammy G plays it, kinda cool, maybe you can use it one day Also me 3 min later: Jimmy Page plays it?! Wow, I need this! Good demo, Sammy G, love this series and your video content in general! Btw, how‘s your progress in learning german?
I listened a second time with my headphones, and I really liked the voice of it when you played to show the extra vibration and I loved the accompanying bass notes at the end. I haven’t seen someone play a harp guitar in awhile that’s really cool. Thanks Sammy
4:16 Try plucking a string on a Bass guitar without muting the others, they will ring along, if the played tone ist one of their harmonics (I believe). That's why muting is very important when playing Bass. Same with the Piano if you hold the sustain pedal and play a note, the whole thing sounds in sympathy.
Great composition and beautiful playing. Probably one of my favorites of yours. I also appreciate the Sean Daniel and Ian Stich reference with G the people's key. #thepeopleskey #peopleskeyofG
You go and do whatever you want with whatever hair you have. Sheesh! Went to Emerald web page and many items sold out, which gladdens my heart as looks like they will survive and prosper. I don't go to many guitar or music web sites. You've always got interesting and/or informative posts, and you tell it as you see it
That's a beautiful looking instrument. ...In the right hands I can only imagine what's possible with it. Thanks for the post (review). The Casio EG 5 brought me to your channel. I'm digging the content. Subscribed and looking forward to more. Kudos ☆ ☆ ☆
I did. I'm not the most dedicated student out there, so I haven't really finished it yet, but it for sure deepened my knowledge about guitar and gave me a couple of excercises that I do every now and then.
Do you get belts like a real samurai? Or is that another warrior culture that does that? Lol I'm ruining my own joke. I should be practicing and not commenting.
I thought the reason that room vibrated when I played an a major power-chord was through the sheer majesty of Rock. Then you have to go bringing science in to it.
That bass harp/guitar is one of the most beautiful guitars I've seen. Not psyched about the carbon fiber thing, but they created an amazing looking instrument that looks like a naturally occurring piece of wood that they just attached strings to.
I have one of their acoustic basses it is a 6 string with a low F# B E A D G tuning. It is definitely loud acoustically compared to many other acoustics. But they will custom build options, as mine has Both a piezo and a bass bar pickup setup each with its own controls and outputs.
It looks like real wood because it is real wood. It's a very thin veneer that's purely there for aesthetics, but it's real wood and they have a huge selection of very rare and fancy woods to choose from.
Sounds like a really interesting way to save the space and time for a Bass and Guitar if you needed both in a situation. Now that I think of it, I could perfectly see Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai double teaming on one of these haha
I was gonna say the same thing. I never hear anyone mention Hedges. I actually learned that song from an old Guitar Player or Guitar World that had Steve Vai's Blue Powder LP (a few years before he put it on an album & was using it to showcase a Carvin Pre-amp...which I ended up buying at the time) on one side & Michael Hedges Because It's There on the other.
Didn't expect to see this come up on your channel! I'm from Donegal and I've been following Emerald for a while now. If you do visit I know plenty of people that could show you the best spots (& guitars!). Keep up the good work!

Cheers for the good laugh mate

why did you shave the mighty sammyG beard signature
He decided to partner with hulkhogan guitars

I think it looks better
2:55, thought it was gonna be the Nationwide jingle
i’m glad i wasn’t the only one who thought that

Lol
Man, it sounds as good as it looks, beautiful! I’m looking forward to hearing more from this instrument 👍
Am I the only one that would like to hear how that thing sounds with a decent amount of fuzz? 👹
No, we all do.
Fuzz has got to be the best effect ever invented
Oh, that would be interesting.
Me: Sammy G plays it, kinda cool, maybe you can use it one day
Also me 3 min later:
Jimmy Page plays it?!
Wow, I need this!
Good demo, Sammy G, love this series and your video content in general!
Btw, how‘s your progress in learning german?
I think in 20s or 30s, Gibson made some harp guitars, they're quite rare and hard to maintain but interesting history for sure
This harp-bass-guitar is so sick!! Nice video like always samurai...
that Kiedis stache was more surprising than the instrument! love em both
FAIRLY THICK UNIT 4:01
Sympathetic resonance is what gives the sitar its ethereal sound
I listened a second time with my headphones, and I really liked the voice of it when you played to show the extra vibration and I loved the accompanying bass notes at the end. I haven’t seen someone play a harp guitar in awhile that’s really cool. Thanks Sammy
Wow, Sympathetic Resonance; I noticed when I strum a Bmin my old B- papers and exams fly around the room.
That demo was awesome great job 👍

i can only hear the highest bass string on my phone speaker lmao
2:22 ya boi legit thought he was gonna play Never Meant based off of those first few notes 😂
your small sample tune is really good
Love the Zappa look you're rocking bud.
I can imagine handing that to Nigel Tufnell. The look on his face would be priceless.
Looks like a eldar weapon from 40k
very informative...well done...like that swiss one
2:55
I thought you were about to break into the Nationwide jingle

Sympathetic Resonance: Welcome to String Bass kids.
the weird steampunk thing in a back is a amp ? look cool

I don't go to many guitar or music web sites. You've always got interesting and/or informative posts, and you tell it as you see it
I love the Zappa stache.
Sounds pretty nice, and adds extra depth to an acoustic guitar. I like it
Well I do Love the guitar... But, That Amplifier with copper retro style in the background is Eye caching. Can I build one too?
For a synthetic it does sound better than an ovation. Does it have the same agonizing fretboard?
The demo sounded like song for irene by eric johnson
Vibes of Hedges. You're awesome 😎!
Donegal lad here! Nice to have a shout out. And yes I recommend checking it out!
sammyg: the weird part about this is the bass harp on this guitar
me: *looking for pickups*
Beautiful talent sound. Tone. Skill nice
not sure if it's the resonance I'm hearing but the sound is a lot fuller in the low end for a lecky when you were just strumming the chords
That's a beautiful looking instrument. ...In the right hands I can only imagine what's possible with it. Thanks for the post (review). The Casio EG 5 brought me to your channel. I'm digging the content. Subscribed and looking forward to more. Kudos ☆ ☆ ☆
That sounds great. Is it plugged in or mic’d?
you are a great guy! smart, friendly and you live your canasian heritage;)
Sammy G with that stache/patch combo
Aye, and don't forget the West of Ireland and the Ring of Kerry in your tour, Sammy...
You need to be able to put the "Harp" section through a Bass Amplifier.
The "guitar" and "harp" are misnomers. That thing is a BASS!
Let's hear some Delta blues on this axe
I reccommend checking out Stephen Bennett for more harp guitar wizardry.
I'd like to see a guitar/banjo combo so I can solo Dueling Banjo.
Damn that guitar sounds even
I love it, but as an Irish man... DONE E GAUL is how Donegal is pronounced, you lean into the E and "GAUL"
why is no one talking about the amazing acoustic sound on this electric guitar...
where did you get the bass head stock sticer on your lap top?????
I want to see les claypool get a hold of this thing
it's like a modern guitar version of the theorbo
Man I wanna harp guitar
Where is the trumpet?
The bass never mutes correctly. It needs a handkerchief against the bottom end
A little bit disappointed you didn't make a "Let's address the elephant in the room" joke
I once farted loudly and it resonated my guitar. I recall it made my day.
Do you fart in e minor?
@@ThomasNimmesgern that requires 3 sequenced farts
I farted loudly once in front of my bass guitar. Now i play in poison.
Has anyone taken his rudiments course? It actually sound pretty decent
I did. I'm not the most dedicated student out there, so I haven't really finished it yet, but it for sure deepened my knowledge about guitar and gave me a couple of excercises that I do every now and then.
Do you get belts like a real samurai? Or is that another warrior culture that does that? Lol I'm ruining my own joke. I should be practicing and not commenting.
Honestly, its great. I got it during the black friday sale and I've learned so much already!
Is it like a subscription thing or a One-time payment thing?
@@pizzasheet8183 One time payment
“It could probably withstand a flight on united” that had me dead💀
Hilarious :D
Ryde on!!!
I thought the reason that room vibrated when I played an a major power-chord was through the sheer majesty of Rock. Then you have to go bringing science in to it.
I'm just gonna quickly compliment that dank facial hair and get on with the video
He definitely has a Freddie Mercury/Frank Zappa vibe to it, and it looks damn cool

Sammy G be looking like he stole Tony Iommi's early moustache
0:06 I thought you said 'Sinner G' and were referring to yourself before encountering the Japanese gods and reaching atonement
We gonna let him get away with that desparado stache
Yes
I miss your full beard Papa Sammy
6:12 According to Adam Neely you were in the key of D.
Jk
I've heard worse attempts at pronouncing Donegal haha
Not surprising; 'twas perfect pronunciation
Hey wheres guitar center
It's always both cringy and hilarious hearing Americans trying to pronounce Irish worda
sheck dagh bruh he’s Canadian
@@liamsmith5013 it's basically the same thing
Micheal Hedges is usually the reason people get into harp guitar
He's Japanese guy that lives in Canada and looks like Mexican.
And teaches you how to play southern blues music.
don't be racist be like sammy
Z I mean he has the Sanchez mustash I get how you could think he was Mexican
And plays American blues
80% of coments are about your mustache
That stache tells me
“LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING BROTHER!!!!! WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE SAMURAI GUITARIST RUNS WILD ON YOOOOOUUUUU?!?!”
I'm surprised at how everyone mentions Andy McKee and no one mentions Michael Hedges
Exactly, he was one of the pioneers in using a harp guitar
He was so amazing, AND engaging in
To be fair, Andy McKee mentions Michael Hedges.
Who's Andy McKee?
Sounds like a really interesting way to save the space and time for a Bass and Guitar if you needed both in a situation. Now that I think of it, I could perfectly see Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai double teaming on one of these haha
@stefano_ terra That is definitely true I believe
Do you just comment on every video ever?
@@Delwood55 Not for the sake of it. I just have a warm spot in the heart for many of these musical content creators
actually ..Alistair who owns Emerald guitars built a special custom guitar for Steve Vai a while back
If you want to see a good application of harp guitar, look up Michael Hedges “because it’s there”
I was gonna say the same thing. I never hear anyone mention Hedges. I actually learned that song from an old Guitar Player or Guitar World that had Steve Vai's Blue Powder LP (a few years before he put it on an album & was using it to showcase a Carvin Pre-amp...which I ended up buying at the time) on one side & Michael Hedges Because It's There on the other.
The headstock of the guitar actually seems like a PRS
He didn’t do movember so he’s doing it now
Owen Armit Not sure if it counts when you shave yourself a movember but yes!
Hey I’m from Ireland and live in Cork
Who else is from Ireland 🇮🇪
It's pronounced done e gol donegal
Callum Mcgettigan you should give Sammy G a tour of Donegal, I’m sure he’ll buy you a Guinness!
I
Donegal best county in Ireland confirmed 💪
Id love to do this for a living. Keep up the good work!
I want to see it played with a slide!
It’s my dude SAMMY G

This guitar makes me realize i've not listened to NEARLY enough Andy Mckee. Gonna fix that after this video
I love the Zappa stache Sammy G!! You just gotta put that hair down 😎
I just spend whole 8 minutes thinking our moustache
As an Irishman I can’t recommend Donegal enough! Please come over and enjoy our culture! Slainté!
Thought he was about to hit us with the nationwide jingle
It’s pronounced Done-ee-gawl
The mustache tho...sick
P.s. amazing video Sammy G
*I need one*...NOW!!!
Oh and, that first piece you played on this beautiful beast was absolutely beautiful, young sensei!
I've played one of these! It's pretty rad. I'm not a guitar player tho so I ended up selling it tho. It did teach me I like a 24" scale tho
If you do come to Northern Ireland and you’d be up for it you should do a meet up! I know me and many others who’d be down for a jam
"It could probably withstand a flight from united"
