    @digitalscream ;;Well said and points taken on board.
    I still find his content stretched very thin. How many videos did it take to decide whether he liked the PRS SE DGT or not? 

    I was an influencer way back in the day. If I did as little research as he does and stretched stuff out this thinly my editor would have fired me. Probably after a lot of correspondence landing on his desk about how crap I was.
    Of course he doesn't have an editor. And it shows.

    ‘Well said and points taken on board…’ before you have another pop at the guy. You may not like his content but given he’s part of this community you could maybe not be a dick about it?

  • I like Nathan’s vids - he isn’t shouty, seems very relaxed and it feels like he’s actually chatting to you without a big script or target phrases supplied by companies that need to be recited

    I like John Cordy's videos... I struggle a bit more with James On Guitar.

    Sorry I meant John Cordy , some of his vids are posted as John Nathan Cordy hence my slip up.

    James Guitar isn’t the same as James on Guitar through is he Waz ? James on Guitar is the fairly posh bloke with loads of nice gear - I quite like his stuff too

    I like listening to Jon Nathan Cordy talk about stuff - he's a nice guy and I like his lassez-faire style. It's like talking to a mate about whether to keep the PRS or not...I suppose a bit like chatting on this forum. I have to admit I do fast forward the playing bits because I find it all a bit too widdly. That's not a criticism of his amazing playing - just not what I want to listen to.

  • I like JNC. I find his stuff much more honest and relatable as he actually does play live in a functions band. So when I'm looking for opinions on, say, how an amp or modeller sounds in a band situation, or it's practicality when playing live, etc, I tend to trust his judgment. A lot more so than the "I'm not sponsored but I have been sent this bit of kit and will say nice stuff so they send me more stuff in the future, but I'll never use or talk about this product again" crowd.
    Just so people are aware. I have no idea what any of these words mean.

    I find JNC to be a much more authentic than the 2 blokes in a "shed"  walls lined with loads of pedals, collection of expensive amps, especially when they are retailers or retailer adjacent.

    If you look at the content on this forum, lots of guitarists are flip flopping between pedals vs multi fx, amps vs modellers etc. and I feel that John articules this ebb and flow quite well. He is open about the sources of gear that he reviews/demos and is obviosly a very accomplished guitar player.

    He obviously has a sense of humour and I wonder if the "click bait" titles are just him having fun .

  • I generally like Cordy. It's ultimately just a bloke talking about his own feelings on stuff to a camera, with a bit of playing. And he's one of the best players within that vein (by miles...). 

    Huge +1 to Danny's love for Bukovac as well. Most youtube guitarists are much better youtubers than they are guitar players - so many are such wooden, technically-fine-but-utterly-unmusical players I don't want to hear them play and don't care about their opinions.

    I tend to steer clear of people who claim to be an "influencer".
    Also any for-sale ads with words like "stunning" in their title.

    I need to start a thread for those videos where the guy (usually) has this thoughtful face with hand on chin looking like “he is too cool to care” (South Park punt)

    I like JNC too - I relate to the constant "The best FRFR/modeller/amp/guitar in the world...I'm sick of this FRFR/modeller/amp/guitar...I wish I'd kept that FRFR/modeller/amp/guitar...I've just bought another FRFR/modeller/amp/guitar and it's the best thing in the world" cycle. I don't think he's cynical about it - it's just the normal guitarist gear cycle. Also, he's played on some proper records with some real artists that I admire. Which is impressive. I think I'd like him if I met him. Pretty sure he'd think I'm a cunt though.  =)
