AeroGuitar, when you play guitar but hate yourself for it.

[_NoDrinkTheBleach]

This seems like the sort of product that you'd see on an infomercial, with an Esteban style pitch man telling you how it's a great gift idea for your grandkids for 3 easy payments of $49.99. Sending this out to actual guitar players with strong opinions was always going to be the wrong plan for a product like this. And thinking that the threatening emails weren't going to get out is pro level ignorance.

i hate the whole mindset of “learning an instrument sucks, our product helps u skip that as much as possible” that people use as a marketing thing. i learned several instruments when i was younger playing in orchestras and now i started self teaching bass this year and the process of getting the hang of it is some of the best feeling stuff. of course it’s not easy but there’s this wonderful sensation of each time i pick up an instrument feeling more confident and better sounding that time than i did before and i think skipping that, aside from just not being how learning works, would make it a worse experience.

Back in 1998 I started practicing on my sister's nylon string without any guidance. I then got some chromatic exercises from her guitarist friend and just sat down and practiced them for hours. That burning feel of my fingers and seeing how I started taking control of my fingers was the best feeling I have ever had in my life. When I see these kinds of products, I'm immediately turned off as these completely ignore journey and the pleasure. No thanks! :)

[Bobby-wnyr]

Side note: I’ve taught over 20 people to play bass over the years; if your fingers are hurting when you’re learning, most commonly you’re pressing too hard. Make sure your bass is set up properly and it shouldn’t take so much force to fret notes. Stay loose, bass isn’t played rigidly - you’re in the rhythm section now!

That is all, as you all were

Derek Paul Guitar made a glowing review of the Aeroguitar. Which has now conveniently been deleted. Whoops.

[DennisAlvarezMusic]

This video really shows why your channel is a very needed thing on YouTube. As you stated, for $600 you could actually buy a decent, even gig-able rig. Especially if you buy used gear. I don't remember my sore finger tips being a big issue when I was 9 years old and learning my first chords.

[GameLord]

Gonna chime in here as a guitarist of 20 years. Pain in the tips of the fingers is something to be expected, not avoided. It helps build calluses, and strength in the hand. If an individual actively goes out of their way to avoid it, they'll never improve, nor gain the strength they need in their hands to be a proficient player.

[VedunianCraft]

Another useless product that preys on people that believe there is an extra comfortable way in achieving something by throwing money at it.
If a real guitar is not working out for them, this thing won't either...

[frankwebster]

This is the third video I've seen about this stupid product. I think it's important that these videos are made to warn people about scam products. Apparently there's a Kickstarter involved. Their aggressive tactics show that the product is nothing more than a very expensive($500) gimmick. Thanks KDH

[PerpetuallyTiredMusician]

I think its funny that people still think there is a "life hack" or a way to bypass practice and learning. As a multi instrumentalist in my early 40s... There simply arent any. Either you enjoy the musicianship part of the artform or you dont. If you dont then I recommend going out and finding another artform that suits you (no harm done really). They all require lots of learning and time spent but one will eventually come along that speaks to you where the labour of learning becomes the "fun" and instead of wondering for how long you have to practice you will wonder why you always seem to lose track of time when practicing.

Peace

Jesus man! For that price I bought a second hand Boss Katana 2x12 and an Epiphone Les Paul Custom!!

[markbernier]

I will just mention as an aside, on the custom guitar, if the door it was upcycled from is 120 years old and is a solid slab, the actual tree it came from is likely from the 1750's or earlier.

[martynridley]

The e-mails they sent to Andy (Guitar Geek) were probably the biggest mistake they could have made. They must be kicking themselves so hard right now. They've highlighted their own crap product 10 fold, probably more. What, did they think that you guys weren't going to talk with each other?! Anyway, well done all of you for hanging on to your integrity and telling it like it is.

[tomfoolery]

That guitar belongs on the shelf of (The now defunct) Toys-R-Us for $39.99🤣

[onbedoeldekut]

I tell learners that if their fingers hurt, they're pressing too hard.
If a guitar has been well set up, the very action of fretting a string WITHOUT applying pressure is what a learner should strive to achieve.

[DMSProduktions]

LOL! What a joke! I told Andy they had NO legal leg to stand on!
I don't THINK they even know HOW product reviews work!

[KeizerSinbad]

I’m glad you’re covering this. We appreciate your journalistic integrity K.

[MrDistill]

Man you always bring it on. Love the way you broke this down.

It’s like they hired a scam call center that’s trying to break into product marketing. 😅😅😅

[Tremonster]

The way this product is being marketed is incredible, it’s like they’ve invented problems and are trying to sell the solution. The guitar is already one of the most accessible instruments out there in that you don’t need to study music theory or learn to read music to be a reasonably proficient player, and because of that fact it is one of the most fun instruments to learn. Learning theory and improving your technique is completely up to the player and how far you want to take it. Some people are perfectly happy strumming a few chords and playing a few riffs and that’s cool. At the end of the day, you can’t beat that euphoric feeling when you finally nail the song/riff/solo you’ve been practicing and you actually sound like the record. The finger pain is absolutely nothing as well, you get over that in like 2 or 3 days. The price tag on this piece of garbage is also highly amusing, $599 means they actually think this is a serious product, where it actually looks like a kids toy that should be about $50 max. This product will sink 100%.
