Came across her as part of a set mix by Lost Frequencies which, as @Saintly Fish will tell you, is one of the top progressive Belgian producers making music today. Here's the mix in question. I challenge anyone not to find themselves vibing to this. Stick it on in the background whilst tying rigs, gutting fish or whatever and before you know it you'll be loving it. Genuinely, give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick it in the bin whilst tying rigs, gutting fish or whatever and before you know it you'll be listening to music instead. Genuinely, give it a try. I managed 3 minutes!!

suzook12 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Think you need to buy the lad a tuner and a better guitar Neil. Sounds like G or B string slightly out.... He's doing well tho, keep the vids and keep doing them so he can see his progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though his teacher tells him every week. The guitar itself is a real good little 3/4 size Ibinez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibanez can be good at the top end, some of the lower end ones maybe not so good. Deffo get a luther to set it up properly for him tho, he'll find it so much easier to play then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, get the string heights set properly, pick up heights set, tension the neck so its completely true and set the bridge properly. All usually adjustable, sort of close enough outta factory. The action (can be raised or lowered) can be set to suit Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an idea if you want the guitar tailored to him yes, or take him to a guitar shop and buy him a better guitar, sorta £1000 new or a players grade quality guitar, say gibson explorer (early James Hetfield) or a gibson SG (think Angus), Get him to try as many as possible and tell the shop what he wants to play musically..... There are thousands to choose from these days...... I would hazard a guess he has the GRG M21? The better the guitar, the easier he will find it to learn on and it will still have good resale value should he give up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be buggered if I'm paying £1k for a guitar just yet. I've found this guy who lives 10 mins from me, looks pretty good! https://www.royalguitarrepairs.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
