Man, great playing. A lot of guys are only showing off, but forget to make music. Your playing is all heart and soul.
Agreed, and a master of light and shade 😎🎸✅
More tasteful playing than 99% of demos out there.
@@Moyetniishiswa2000 I don’t disagree with you haha
Take a listen to Marcus King.
I hate it when a big brand just copies a strat or tele. There are an infinite number of original designs they could create and i think this Yamaha shape and design look great! I loved what you played in the black one!!!
They copy the standards due to how conservative guitar players are.
@@KentBuchla Truth. Look at how long it’s taken Yamaha to gain acceptance as a legitimate choice for professional musicians. And this fellow here is one reason they are. Until one of their heroes plays one, most musicians won’t touch something unusual, even if it’s amazing.
It’s another reason Brian May was so uniquely visionary. His circuit design in his own guitar is genius, and practically nobody has taken up any part of that design (except Yamaha! Note the way they use phase combinations for unique tones in these newer guitars). The entire guitar industry overlooks an incredible tonal palette because “it aint Fender.”
Don’t get me wrong, Fender guitars are gorgeous. But they’re not the only possibility in the world.
Key bits:
"Yak yak yak" - 0:00
Revstar 720b: 2:29
Revstar 502T: 6:41
Revstar 502: 9:26
I have loved the vibe of the recent Revstar line. I need to give one a serious test drive after watching this. Thanks
Buck and Evans I
Thank you!
i picked up a yak yak yak in nova scotia 4 days ago. Rocks!
The RS820CR (humbuckers) is amazing too
Every Yamaha product I’ve played or owned has been first rate. The quality is sensational and they sound lovely. Even better in your hands.
Cheers James! :)
Thta's usually the trademark I recommend when someone asks me advice about what instrument to choosefor a beginner. They're not really expensive, good quality instruments,imo.
I think they're a victim of brand bigotry of sorts, but on the flip side I guess we the consumers benefit from their lower price point. I've seen the same tendency outside of their guitar range.
James JS agreed! even their so called "entry-level" Pacifica 112j is a top notch
I tried the much vaunted Pacifica but didn't like it. Thought the Squier at the same price looked and felt better. Massively overrated I think. Some of the low end Ibanez guitars seem much better too.
But I do generally like and rate Japanese guitars and the first one in this video sounds sublime. Carlos Santana played a Yamaha back in the day - say no more! It/they looked similar but I think had names like 2000.
I feel P90s sound so freaking romantic, i love the way they can go from being so silky smooth to being bitey, its the best ever, i love how sexy they sound, i could sit and listen to both clips of the P90s for hours upon hours
Good to see someone do guitar reviews in a clean setting instead of over driven distortion all the time, nice review, I've really had my eyes on these guitars for a while now.
I did come here via Paul Davids, but I am blown away by your playing, Chris: the dynamics, the rakes and texture of it all. Your solos are genuinely moving.
After all 'this' has blown over, I really want to see you live.
Amazing playing and tone ! Finally someone showing the “nude” tone of these guitars
Wow! They all sound great but the sound of the black one is simply incredible! And as always, very inspiring playing.
Absolutely fantastic FEEL to your playing. Long time player that doesn't see this often, especially amongst younger players.
Had my eye on these for awhile, gorgeous presentation
I love your playing style Chris. Inspirational!
What a lovely melodic playing, wow! I enjoy your music very much!
Awesome inspiring playing. impeccable tone!!! Love the video
I like the Revstars and Yamaha's are a really good value and have been for a long time much respect for their business ethos.
Your playing is so lively, tasteful, definitely masterclass-different.
Damn your playing is superb! I find a lot to Derek Trucks in the vocal-ish bends you do which is awesome. I though that could only be achieved with slide, it was dumb to overlook that, you nail it and combined with you own, super neat. Anyway, I was blown away by the Yamaha THR amps, they are so clever and I see that for sure the guitars will be the same, that green one is gorgeous!
sheer joy to the ears my friend ...
Those Revstars are Sweet.
Yamaha gear has never let me down ever since my first in '83.
Their guitars and basses have always been good quality and value whatever end of the market their models have been competing in.
Quick mental inventory - 2x basses (6 string), 2x rack FX units, 1x CX5M music computer (Classic), 2x thin string guitars - one is a Line6 Variax but basically a Pacifica with toys. The best atmo is a Pacifica 611VFM with the Seymour Duncan pickups. Oh that SD P90 at the neck !!! Sweet.
Even the basses that I sold on previously didn't go because they disappointed me, just that their function had been duplicated or superseded by new toys. GAS - you know how it is ...
Such great soulful playing and feel. Enjoyed those demos.
I love you playing. So musical and full of character.
What a nice way to play ! Love it !
That sounded lovely-thank you.
What a great video. I quickly fell in love with my RS820CR too, they're fantastic, "under the radar" guitars.
Thanks to Chris’s recommendation I picked up a 502T in green. Paired it with a Katana 50 Mkll for ease of transport. One happy camper. 👍🇦🇺
Sounds like a great setup.
That's some great playing, great dynamics and feel!
After seeing many videos of the Revstar 502, I think u were the one who made this one sound the best. thumbs up
I have a living room wall of Yamaha acoustics, and I absolutely love the brand. Awesome playing 👏🏻
Great playing Chris. Love the sound of those soap bar pickups. Absolutely captivating sound. Keep up the great videos.
Will Reynolds Cheers Will ☺️
You sir sounds ridiculously amazing! First time watching you play and i instantly fell in love with your style. The guitars sounds amazing too! Too much wow in one video. Wished I could give more than one like
Janson Lau Thank you Janson! Very kind of you 🙂
Dayum, that finger picking technique is VERY impressive!
These guitars are just awesome, perfect for Chris' playing.the sustain is very apparent
The tone on that 502... wow. I love your phrasing!
Excellent playing man. TH-cam has waaaaay too many metalhead shredders that just erks me to no end. You have some serious vibe in your playing. I really enjoyed listening and watching you workout those Revstars. Very cool. The P90's in those guitars sound really nice . Not harsh like a lotta others. I'm going to nab a Pacifica 112V in the gray when they're released. In the meantime, I just might have to invest in one of the Revstars.
Thanks for the sweet jams man.
Absolutly great playing
Beautiful playing
I own 10 yamaha basses from 1974 and up all of them are excellent and I am still wanting a few more. Tasty playing Chris, really nice.
Love your playing mate. Superb. Got a revstar, they are wonderful instruments.
Great playing of great guitars!
Out of the trillion guitar players out today, there are only a handful that play like Buck. The guitar is truly an extension of himself and his abilities. Rich, emotional and great sounding. P90's...
One word...beautiful!!!!!
oh man.... this could possibly be some of the most soulful playing I have ever heard. the control you play with is nothing short of amazing. 'twas... exquisite.
Thank you so much Steve, that's incredibly kind of you :)
He is the best player in the world in my opinion
Man, your right hand technique is mesmerizing to watch ! And your sound... Gorgeous ! I wish I could fingerpick like this.
Anyway, great guitars, I'm thinking about buying one for Christmas...
Amazing playing and gorgeous sound! Super inspirational.
I’m very happy I got a 420, it’s wonderful
Maaaan....😱😱😱...what a phrasing,what a taste! Amazing musician! 😊👍
Great expressive playing!
bro i can listen to you noodle all day long! so good
Haha. Cheers Mark :)
Awesome playing
You, Sir, are an amazing guitarist and pretty much exactly what I aspire to some day sound like.
Mea Dish Thank you so much ☺️
Nice overview, and some tasteful playing. I have the 620 and 720B; the outstanding feature for me is the the necks-a good handful perfectly matched with the fretboard radius and jumbo frets. I love these things, and I have been playing Yamaha guitars since I bought my first, an FG180 in 1969, from Ivor Mairants Musicentre in London. Thanks.
Just fabulous playing!
Jerry McKenzie Thank you Jerry ☺️
That was a groove man!
The way you play is amazing mate. You are a start. Congratulations.
Gelou Thank you very much 😊
Oh man! Beautiful tone! Beautiful phrasing and musicality. Great video.
By the way, you play guitar just like I wish that I do.
Okay, just finished the video. I had no idea who you are before, but your playing just completely transported me. My breathing changed. I listened to every note. Just gorgeous. And I think that I want P-90's in my next guitar now.
Love the revstar lineup! Especially the gloss black finish!
Great playing! THX
Like it or not you have genuinely influenced me to buy a Revstar. Probably wouldn’t have known about them had it not been for your channel. All in a good way they look really appealing and I’m sure I’ll be adding one to the family soon 🤘🏻
nice playing :)
great shots of the action,very nice looking necks .. i have to try one of these now :D
My road bass for many years was a Yamaha RBX300. Inexpensive, light, simply built, amazing sound, beautiful fast neck, reliable and a looker for the times.
Love your playing dude! From Malaysia.
What a phrasing and technique bro , congrats!
That taped note that resolves at the end of the first demo is INSSSANE!!
Cool guitars, demo, and playing!
Chris ! You sound amazing!!!! Congratulations. Keep on …
I thought I was through with buying guitars (yeah yeah, I know), but I really love the way these guitars look and sound...such a simple design, yet modern and elegant. As soon as they make a gold-top (not Mayan) with p-90s, I will most likely pull the trigger...
I don't think the colour matters that much and they might not put out one like that :).
⚓️ Thanks Chris 😎
I bought a yamaha revstar after watching your playing. Got a revstar 502 in denim blue and it plays as gorgeously as it looks.
Tasty playing man!!
Nice guitars.....Very nice playing,Chris. Thanks.
Great tasteful playing 👍🏻
Brilliant playing mate
That grime on the P90 guitar neck you can definitely tell is been loved a lot!
Hey Chris! I just recently took up playing guitar after years of playing Bass, Sax and Trumpet. I bought a Yamaha 112 for $200 Australian. It is a very basic model and to be honest I am blown away with the build quality and the tones are just staggering. I honestly feel like I have been ‘Yamaha’d’ and don’t see myself moving to any other brand. I will move up the range asI progress. Will keep you posted. Thanks for your amazing talent. Clearly you are Yamaha’d too !!
Love the 720b. Such a stunning looking guitar. Sounds great too!
She's a looker! There's a new black one I've got my eye on... ;)
Thanks for the vid! Just picked up the Revstar RSP20CR today! I love it because it's so versatile. I'll be playing post-metal with it.
Oh christ, please don't.
I absolutely love my 502!
Your right hand technique is amazing!
Great playing bro really enjoyed it
Wow . Just mesmerized by that right hand technique , switching from pick to fingers with the amazing tone he squeezes from fingers and sliding notes . Can tell a great and musical player if you can instantly recognise his playing style from just a few notes. Reminds me a bit of Tommy Emmanuels electric playing for some reason and never sacrifices speed for musicality.
Mark is a great guy. I worked with him for a couple of years. Totally dedicated and knowledgeable.
Many years ago I owned an SX 900b (very thin cutaway) the tonal range without any effects was just incredible! First rate materials and craftsmanship.
...your playing is... Awesome man
Wow! Never heard of it... great!
DAMN DUDE! the jam at 5:38 was incredible!!!
That's some nice playing, man! Love your technique and style! I recently bought 2 Revstars: First I got the 502. Later I saw an 820 and picked it up as well. Both guitars were on clearance at a local store. I guess they aren't selling well here in the US. I think I paid $379 for the 502 and $630 for the 820 - these prices are a steal for such nice instruments. They also had the 502T for about $400 and and 720 for around $500. I would have bought all of them if it wouldn't started proceeding for a divorce. Anyway, these are great guitars, on par with my Tele Pro. I also have a Pacifica 311 which is my "beater" guitar - it plays great too.
I have been shopping for some P90 guitars and completely forgot about these Yamaha’s. Your playing and tones are really on top of it, I’m really considering into buying now.
Nice playing
Dude your playing is amazing. I literally closed my eyes and just let it move me. Nice man !
You are a beautiful player - the guitars sound wonderful x
Thank you very much Pete :)
Love my RS502 Shop Black ... amazing guitar ... !
Great playing !!! 👌
Regards from Austria
🎸
Woodland Survival Thank you very much man. They are indeed amazing guitars! Greetings from South Wales ☺️
Great playing. Thanks for reviewing these, I'm looking at a RS620 as my future guitar
Love the Japanese Yamaha acoustic guitars. Perfection.
I know the first one I picked up I was very impressed with how solid it felt and the detail, I don’t remember there being any sharp edges or anything, just really nice to play
I own a sbg and its my favorite guitar i have ever played!
Killer review 👍
I love my yamahas (620 and 720). That includes my classical acoustic. Thank you for posting!
That last solo is sublime. eloquent and subtle. bravo. Yamaha have a long history of making great guitars that punch above their class; the 60's and 70's acoustics are brilliant. The new Red Line acoustics are half price compared to other premium brands. I need a P90 revstar!
Never owned one but I had the same reaction after playing a Yamaha Weddington several years ago. High quality feeling in your hand with a great sound. I'd look at a Revstar if I were shopping today, for sure.
Great to hear your playing. Had a Yammy SG back in the 80s. Cool gear at a sensible price.
