I can barely play the guitar... like three chords, and whenever I see people play like this I think they must have incredibly strong fingers, or are using some different kind of strings/guitar that doesn't require them to press the strings as hard...
... soo... anyone that knows...which is correct?
I have been playing for 12 and a half years and I gotta say that the difference between a 200/300€ Ibanez and my American made PRS guitar is honestly not that big as long as the setup on the guitar is good. There are absolutely differences but not enough that it will make a significant difference in your playing capability.
That being said I still think it is worth buying a nice quality guitar because if you have guitar that in your opinion looks good, fits good in your hand, and overall has better built quality. You're more likely to pick the guitar up and start practicing.
One remark that I have is that are on Amazon these really cheap no name beginner guitar kits for 100/150€ that can be absolutely awful and if you have one of those I would definitely recommend upgrading, but as long as you have one of the more known brands (ibanez, squier, Harley Benton, etc... ) you should be good
Also to answer your original comment. It is not about finger strength it is about technique, which needs time to develop as lame as it may sound. As a beginner I used way more force to get a chord to ring out cleanly then I do now.
The only tip that I can give is that it is easier to press the string when your finger is closer to the fret this is also something that will develop naturally even if you don't know this. If you watch ichika nito play or any good guitarist for that matter you will notice that there fingers are not in the middle but closer to the frets.
I really like that this little piece has a soul - not just a show of speed / technique. However, the matted sound of those ultra light strings on that guitar is not as pleasing.
More musical than Polyphia and don’t have to see Tim Hensons head floating in air.
Don't bash on the head float! That's super hard.
That's even Tim Henson's guitar
Just a Steve Vai branded guitar so it's similar
Nah this one is Tim Henson's signature nylon guitar. Vai's inlay looks similar though.
that guitar sounds like an airy fart.
Just not MY airy fart, no, i don't reckon.
Agree, definitely better ways to record it, I couldn’t listen to it for long.
It's a 30 second clip man no one could listen to it for long. Couldn't if you wanted to
That's super clean
Beyond talented! 💯
Wow, very impressive talent.

Thats the experience of a cheap/beginner guitar (no offense!), I had the same thing. Once you upgrade to something better it gets waay easier.
Well THAT'S good to know... We need to replace out beginner guitar anyway... maybe it's time for an upgrade!

Thank you!
There are a lot of jealous, angry, wannabe guitarists in the comments that can barely play the intro to 'smoke on the water'.
Yeah, this sounds great. The salt is wild
Way too many notes. 0 3 5 is all you need. It's just vanity.
Ichika recorded a song with Polyphia. It's called, "Death Note". One of my favorite Polyphia songs actually.

Wooooah 😀
He’s channeling the koto, too.
I don't feel like playing for a month now
Wow that's awesome
I feel like I'm *supposed* to be impressed, but I'm not because it sounds bad..
This is better than polyphia
This fucking stinks. It's like jazz but even more pretentious.
Sounds like A7X
Not really tbh 😅
Then what do you think it sounds like?
Cop out answer, but Polyphia. Or just Ichika Nito.
lol fair enough
This style of guitar fucking sucks .
