It’s insane how you made that wish guitar sound good.
Recording equipment can make anything sound horrible or pretty good.
it will not last long though

@@gravity3.8 why u say that
I bought a cheap guitar 15 years ago to learn. I told myself I'll get a better one once I get better at it.
Today, I am using the same guitar
Same here
Can you please tell me which one u r using
I bought a super cheap guitar and then after playing hard for 1 year by going to music classes twice a week I got a new one that costed around 400$
@@siddarthwahengbam6878 you did what qwertiedota didn't. Good on you.
So you didn't get better?
Goes to show that you don't need a expensive guitar to sound good, you just need skill☝️
For reallll
And be good looking. Then people will watch.
I think it is mostly the sound editing
@@donefinished fax 😳
its both if we are being real, I am tired of both beginners who think a 1000$ guitar will make them play better and people who think expensive guitars aren't better.
Cheap guitars can easily deter beginners from playing if it is improperly setup/has sharp frets/neck angle is wrong etc etc. The fact of the matter is a 50usd guitar isn't ideal. Beginners should try to get a guitar in the 150usd range if possible and at least get their guitar setup even if they do go cheaper.
For people out there looking to get their first guitar: Don't worry TOO much about the sound. Your main focus should be on HOW DOES IT FEEL? is it comfortable? the playability of a guitar is the most important aspect in my opinion. A guitar can sound amazing, but if it feels horrible, you'll never play it.
*edit* obviously if you're a beginner, you might not even know the difference between what is a playable guitar and what is a guitar that's working against you. It's really best to have a friend who knows more about guitars to help you out.
Like buying a Flying V but never getting to sit or getting a ES but having a whole cutting board hanging off of your body by a polyester strap
I'd say on the first try, buy something with a low action, doesn't matter weather it sounds good or bad
I've got 2 500€ guitar and I can confirm that the sound means *a lot* . After buying it, playing became much more enjoyable. But tbh I'm not a beginner, I'm playing for 2 years.
I'm looking at getting a second guitar and have a strat styled guitar and I was looking at getting a gretch. I will say it 1000 times nope I'm not getting that first the one at the guitar store someone tuned up like a 5th so E string was a B. So it sounded bad because of that and had to tune it but it also felt bulky. Kinda sucks because every time I see a gretch I think they look amazing but it was just so bulky not even the fact it was bigger idk how to describe it but I think if someone went in a guitar store they could pick
heavily agreed, my $60 aston bass I got on ebay is about 30x more comfortable than my $500 ibanez, I use the ashton more
You should do a full cover on the howls moving castle theme, sounded great
would love that!! i love merry go round of life!
I knew the second i heard the first note ( D ) that it was howls
Yessss
That arrangement he played was originally by Sungha Jung. You should listen to it!
@@joelsorri6532 capo tho?
my first guitar was a handmade acoustic guitar that cost $27 (started playing 4 years ago), it helped me in a lot of way. Now I currently play a $440 electric guitar on my gigs.
If you really love to learn how to play, then it doesn't matter how cheap or how expensive it is as long as you can start learning.

I hand built my first guitar too. With almost no serious experience in playing or building. Sounded terrible but helped me learn at least
not gonna lie but when baton rouge is played out, i got goose bumps because the audios are so clean and clear, the bass is great
Because he used a genuine string on that baron rouge

Very true. It's not the guitar that's the problem. It's the player. Like I could get a 1,000$ guitar and not sound too good but you could get a professional guitarist a cheap guitar and it would sound amazing.
I have a cheaper Amazon electric strat and I realized all I needed to do to get better was actually try harder. Now I can do some cool things and I recently learned bending!
I’m really glad your back and I am hoping to see more from you !

Don’t fall for it man, definitely a scam.
Cool this is interesting to compare ! I like this kind of videos when you give us knowledge about guitars etc
Hi Andrew love your videos!!!! Great to see you back ❤️
It’s also possible to improve the playability of a cheap guitar with common tools. The videos are all here on TH-cam. Don’t be afraid to learn about guitars and how to set them up at the same time you’re learning to play. It’s not terribly hard if you are even a little bit handy, learning how to figure out what need “fixing” is harder than actually doing it most of the time.
Andrew I'm such a huge fan, i hope one day i could play guitar as good as you someday ❤
Im flattered to hear that my Baton Rouge Awf signature is a really really good guitar😭 Happy to see you uploading again!
I remember buying a guitar off wish. It actually turned out ok for a noodling guitar. It had some crappy wire to mimic guitar strings, but I just replaced those with nylon strings and shaved down the nut and bridge a bit. It has issues with the bad upper frets, but I'm still very much a learner, and it's more of a beater guitar anyways, if that makes sense.
Thanks so much for posting this! Not sure if you realize, but you're pretty good at being funny in all of your vlog-ish-style videos. 😄 I really enjoy them

the wish one is actually pretty well in sound , that shows the moral:- never judge a book by it's s cover... My first guitar was also a kind of 50-60$ one, and I've been used it around for 5 years. Although now I'm using Taylor GS mini.. But still the connection that I have with my first guitar is unparallel.. 😇❤
Ay dude it's horrible, also don't forget that the 7th fret is broken unless you set the action really high. The thing that makes it sounds like it's good that his recording setup is top notch.
This guy is a few levels above a normal player. He got it to sound not too bad, but definitely not good. The worst is he had to raise the action which makes the player have to use a lot more pressure on the string. Playing for a few minutes on a high action gets painful.

I have one custom 50$ guitar and to me it's the best 50$ guitar I've ever known. My friends has another guitar in similar price but the quality is way below mine, and I still using it (it's been like 4 years) till now, and I can tell it's way better than your wish guitar, and comparable with the Amazon one (maybe better because I have changed the string to elixir). I just don't have the studio though.
3:56 “that sounds like a guitar” got me 😂
No one can beat you you are awesome Andrew 👍❤️
Why does it sounds so amazingly good when he says "guitar"? Probably because it's Andrew, saying it
I was actually surprised you managed to squeeze some harmonics out of that Wish guitar.
Am I the only one that really likes the way strachy strings sound? like just when freestyling, like not in actual songs.

I’ve missed Andrew, haven’t watched him in like 2 yrs
Defo buying the Amazon on my birthday
Make this a series!
As my 1st guitar, I bought a 3/4 nylon string guitar from ebay for 40euros because I didn't know if I actually would like playing guitar or not. And I found out that actually I quite like playing guitar, so I'll buy a better one for around 200 (this time steel string acoustic). For my cheap guitar, I somehow managed to decrease the action etc and now it is pretty usable, just sounds not good haha. All in all was a great way to start a new hobby.
I really enjoyed this video!
Maybe you can do another Q&A soon :)
Love you Andy ❤❤
we need more of these kind of vids. was sick bro
i think being a piano player has conditioned me to think acoustic instruments have to be upwards of $1000 because the concept of a $50 guitar seems incomprehensible to me. i wouldnt have been surprised if wish had just sent you a plastic toy guitar they stole from an abandoned toys r us.
In India we can get guitar like that in very less than $50

I missed u andyy ty for uploading again!!
Now I’m sure what guitars to buy. Thx to you Andrew👍
Its always good to go to a guitar center or somewhere like that so you can test it out, and actually see if it is actually worth buying. The sound in my opinion doesnt bother me to much. The feel is the most important. If it doesnt feel good your never gonna play it. The feel is the most important. Not the looks, not the sound the feel. Like he said you can get some new strings and pop em on and it will sound like a really expensive guitar. Its just good to test it before you buy it.
Exactly, I just bought a cheap guitar but I went to a local store and tried out all the guitars they had in my price range and actually ended up with one of the cheapest because I liked the look and feel of it more than the others , and it sounds alright especially for a budget guitar , perfect to keep around at home to pick up and play when I want to

I worked hard all year to be able to buy my first guitar. There was only some money left and it would be finished. Throughout this period I was listening to a lot of Andrew’s clips. This is what helped me choose the right guitar. I am excited to start lessons.
Thank You Andrew !
Love your content ❤
Andrew be like "That sounds like a guitar" he was literally playing guitar at that moment 😭
WOAH ANOTHER VID OF ANDREW THAT'S NOT A COVER ❤😭😭❤❤❤ But i still love covers hehe i jist like listening to your talking voice
Andrew, that transition before u played those two songs, sheesh. Smooth asf🔥
Great review video. Thanks!
Ive had the amazon one for like 5 months and its going so good even with the stock strings it shipped with
Could you give me the link to the guitar on anazon plz?
This video totally made me confident to buy a new guitar.
IT'S BEEN SO LONG! Missed you a lot🥺❤️
3.05 million subs and Andrew STILL has the work a second job? I guess this goes to show even though he's incredibly talented, being a guitar TH-camr isn't very profitable.
It’s because of the covers. TH-camrs that do covers don’t actually get paid for the cover videos a number of reasons, mainly copyright. That’s why all cover youtubers have patreon and other media.
he doesnt have to he chooses to his guitars in the back are thousands of dollars hes fine dw
i brought you're signature guitar and it sounds great!
Hii i wanna get his signature guitar too, where did u order it? i rly want to but idk if the sites are legit. and also how long did it take ?
Love the choice of Merry-go-round of life for the sound test, so good
This was so funnn... I'd love if you nake more of these kind of videos
Whats the name of the song that you played at the end?
what song did you play near the end? it's so beautiful!
Let me know if you know
@@DK-es7su perhaps it’s the howls moving castle theme? i saw it in the other comments
@@aestaetic07 that’s exactly it man
I bought my first electric guitar from the same Amazon company ( rockjam) for $104 dollars and it's actually rlly great the only thing I didn't like was that the amp that came with it didnt have an overdrive or distortion so I just have to practice on clean till I get a new amp or pedal
my first guitar was 15 years ago and it was a 35€ toy store guitar 😅 I quickly learned some songs and my mom got me a great ibanez acoustic weeks later because she was proud I actually learned instead of toss it aside 😊
i feel like andrew can make any guitar sound good tho 🤣
What difference does the action height make? What does it do? I play guitar but I am self taught and I never learned what the action was or what it does. Can anyone tell me?
High action is when the strings r farther from the fret, it can make it harder to play bc to play chords u have to press down on strings (pretty sure anyways, I’m also a beginner so i don’t know all the terms and stuff lol)

The first guitar that is shown from Wish, that one is made in the same Chinese factory that makes Glarry guitars and also for some other retail companies as well. They just slap on the Glarry name or other company name on the head stock. Not sure about the other guitar. One thing to know as long as there is a truss rod in the neck of the guitar, to make neck adjustments and also the string saddle in the bridge is not "glued in" you can set the string height and get and playability a bit better on both of those.
Although this video is a year old, it's new to me. I live in Los Angeles, but I have 2 grandsons in Baton Rouge, 10 and 12. I'm gonna share this video with my grands.
Amazon one crazy. My $500 guitar didn’t even come with a case 😭😂
Andrew used to say “ you know I always reply to those who are early ” 🙈😀
Glad to see you still active
I bought my electric guitar for like $60 or $80 and it came with two amps and two guitar chords and after 7+ years it is still great and working! More expensive is not always better. It is an Ibanez guitar based off a fender but it in my opinion sounds even better if you like more distortion playing but still sounds nice clean too
That's actually a pretty decent guitar. Here in the Philippines you can buy a trash guitar for 20bucks. Then you will quit eventually coz you'll think you're terrible, but the guitar is the actual problem.
Im glad i invested in a decent guitar back when i was a newbie. The learning experience was much easier.

Howls moving castle theme
So good to see you after so long
For acoustic guitars I don't suggest anyone buy anything less than $150 retail.
The strings are already a challenge to press in the beginning plus most cheap guitars have no setup done meaning the action is too high making it even harder to press. Most necks have like a U neck which honestly feels terrible and alot of them have tons of poly or lacquer finish which stick to your hands.
That being said if you can really find a *good* local brand or get any from Yamaha or Cort etc it'll be fine.
Fun fact: i bought my first (and only) guitar back in 2013 for 4k inr (roughly 70 usd in 2013) and i still play that to this day...
It's actually pretty good...
PS: maintainence is important, for example changing strings every few months, adjusting the truss rod when needed etc...
Edit: the guitar i have looks very similar to the one shown at 2:15 😛...but mine plays wayy better than this wish guitar 😌
That's good to hear. I had the same mindset with my budget guitar, after trying an expensive guitar i could already tell the difference. I recommend you try getting your hands on some good guitars if you haven't already. Although like Andrew said it's the player and not the guitar

Message Me ON TELEGRAM TO CLAIM✅…….
My tip for beginners: Buy a crap guitar at first.
I went out and bought a $1,000 Gibson guitar as a beginner because it looked cool. About 1 year later, I found an Epiphone Les Paul for $500 that I absolutely fell in love with. Loved the sound and loved the look.
The $1k Gibson sat in my practice space full time after I bought the Epiphone. And when I sold the Gibson, I took a loss as no one pays full price for a used guitar.
So learn how to play a guitar, learn your style and sound, THEN spend big bucks on one you like. Especially if you barely had money to buy a guitar in the first place like I did. I saved for a year to buy the Gibson.
I WISH I LOOKED LIKE YOU, MAN. YOU LOOK LIKE A MODEL. KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT
for beginners that guitar would be good because some beginners get bored of playing after awhile so they can use this just to try
So I'm not a bad guitarist
It's just the guitar
It's always nice watching your videos. Would hopefully build for you a local guitar with our locally sourced tone woods someday..... Big love from Uganda.
If your looking for a good beginner acoustic guitar tangle Wood Is a go to make. I have had mine for a while and I love it. The strings are close to the fret board so it's easy on your fingers and the strings are good quality. I got mine for around £120 but it varies (:
This guy inspired me to sell my guitar.

can u make a full cover of the Music u just played when u tested the sound? I'll definitely add on my playlist✨
I got my 1st acoustic guitar that actually a bad guitar/cheap thatwhich I used to practice because I was just a beginner at the time and I didn't know much about the specs of guitars so I just ordered and then I used it for about a year until I had ideas about the specs of guitars like wood which was used here and others and now I have a Yamaha guitar and I can say that it is also good that when starting to play the guitar again, you don't need a good quality first then buy a quality guitar when you are intermediate and I can say that my experience with my guitar journey is good. :)
