It’s late in the day now, I’m grateful for your great channel, Tomo. Thanks. but, I noticed you are surely the greatest TH-cam presenter. Thanks a lot 👍
Your “beauty of limitation” philosophy makes me think of that Bruce Lee quote where he said “I don’t fear the man who’s practiced 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who’s practiced 1 kick 10,000 times.”. I think there’s a lot of wisdom in that for music too. Love your videos Tomo!
Thank you! I love Bruce Lee! I am from Japan originally so I have a little Eastern cultured thinking.... Thank you so much! For example, practicing chromatic scale. I only limit to practice on 4th & 3rd strings and less than 10 minutes a day.

Hi Tomo-san, a great looking guitar with a unique sound. Thanks for sharing this and also a bit of your own story at the start of the video. Kind regards.
I haven't picked up my guitar in months! I've lost that loving feeling... but just watched a Leadbetter " Leadbelly" documentary that gave me some inspiration. Thanks for your channel too.
I do ❤️ my LAG 30. I haven't played an electric on almost 2 years. I do have a GTRS S800. But the LAG still has so much adventure to seek and she does have a wonderful voice.
Good evening tomo I recently got a boss katana 50 mk2 And I was wondering if you had any patches for some good sounds Thank you very much Have a wonderful day.!!!!

Hi Tomo - I’m lower middle class and can’t afford that many guitars but, I do like this one. Did Orangewood make a special one for you or is this guitar a random one off of the assembly line? I’m afraid of getting a lemon. I’ve heard some complaints. Thank you sir. You’re awesome.
Tomo brother-you don’t look nearly old enough to have been teaching that long! Lol All that awesome guitar playing must keep you young. Thanks my friend for the video
Thank You Tomo for sharing this great sounding video! You almost said 18 something when you came to the States HaHa I do that some times by mistake but you look really good for your age no worries Bro. You play this guitar like a young man on fire though and I really dig the vibe of the guitar. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure! I moved from Kyoto Japan to Boston USA when I was 21. I made many great mistakes that I made...those made life richer inside! Thank you!
It doesn't sound like it has a lot of resonance, like the string action is too low. I've seen videos of Orangewood guitars and they seem to sound very resonant. I have a Martin parlor sized guitar and it resonates a lot more than that guitar. Or is that because of the rubber bridge?
Before I read the title of the video I was thinking that it was a gretsh guitar the look make me think of that. I don't remember exactly the model. But it's great she got a nice look
@@Freudenfreude1 yes I have checked the model you said. Yes that what it reminds me. This model of orangewood is nice but I don't find the sound really great. Not for me.
@@carlito7863 it does seem a little flat? In all the demos. I had a 1969 Fender by Harmony (Stella parlour) guitar converted to rubber bridge and it definitely has more depth to it. Maybe it’s the finish? Or back and sides that aren’t solid wood on this one? It doesn’t sound terrible but it sounds muted like the body woods are dull instead of the saddle/bridge? Am I overthinking this? 🤣
I ordered a vibrakill shock absorber for a tennis racquet to get this kind of sound. I wonder if I can move it around to soften the effect on the treble strings a little.

My office is in my basement so dehumidifiers are control the humidity.
Hi Tomo - I’m lower middle class and can’t afford that many guitars but, I do like this one. Did Orangewood make a special one for you or is this guitar a random one off of the assembly line? I’m afraid of getting a lemon. I’ve heard some complaints.
