I've a feeling they're cheating, using a hybrid Bluetooth / WIFI mix - hence the transmitter. Not tech people normally get confused and assume all 'wireless' devices are Bluetooth. They aren't. Example: Some of my customers accidentally bought BT keyboards / mice for an older PC that didn't support BT, so they couldn't use the keyboard and had to return it. Why? Because they didn't understand about normal 2.4GHz wireless non-Bluetooth, as used by those little mouse/KB dongles we all use. Wifi-style transmission is virtually lag-free and I can't see any other way this can be achieved as the BT standard just doesn't support this. But hey, those clever folk at Yamaha HQ - who knows!

An excellent business lesson , the best advice ever, you should bill them for this video :)

Thanks for this review. I'm seriously considering replacing the hx stomp with this one as I'm tiered of all the f**** menues

Man the Roland GR33 is still the best tracking midi synth setup there is. You can snipe those for $200 easy. Put it on a cheap but fully playable guitar (there are thousands of these nowdays) and you've got a pretty impressive instrument. Thing is about midi guitar, you have to slide into the dynamics of the instrument you're imitating or inventing. If you can't approximate with your fingers, the dynamics of a saxaphone or trombone, then you're not going to sound like a saxaphone or trombone. Those two are easier than you might think, whereas piano (another stringed friggin instrument btw) never feels quite right -- to me anyway. Trumpet? French Horn? Friggin Oboe? Those are all a blast. For actual midi input into a software environment like Komplete Ultimate, I went with a Fishman Triple Play. You're talking just a little more money here but not by a lot, since you're putting it on the same cheap but good guitar. But I'm not telling anyone to get a Triple Play and Komplete Ultimate. I mean if you do that and disappear into your studio for two months, missing weddings and entire major holidays and shit... don't blame me... I warned you. But not the GR55. It's a presently overpriced but unenthusiastic upgrade from the GR33.

😂 you are full of 💩

I buy i the past a „You Rock“ MIDI Guitar same build of the Neck! I buy this why, so I can’t play keyboard, with this guitar I can put single notes or chords in my DAW! It’s not a tool to play, in my opinion, it’s for guitar player they don’t play keyboard but wanna use keyboard sounds in their compositions!

Man, it is so refreshing to hear somebody being bluntly honest about this. (That’s also why I love Glenn Fricker’s videos). Because there is so much bad products out there being sold as this so called wonderfull instrument, or so called fantastic gear. Don’t let those negative people get to you. They obviously don’t get the point. Stay positive man, you absolutely do the right thing. ❤ By the way, about that Aeroband thing. What a piece of shit that is. 😅

it's 2024. Use audio-to-midi software of your choice, and if that doesn't work for you, go with a MIDI pickup. These products are 40 years too late. That said, I hate to be critical because it's always cool to see strange gadgets being developed, and it's often necessary to try out many bad ideas to come up with a good one. I hope they will succeed eventually.

The truth is this! No matter what dumb product you dismiss, there will always be ordinary people online, that likes it. You can defend your name with that it all comes down to subjectivity. Just do not make the video. Simple ❤️ Love your stuff. 🙏 Even with the things you praise, there are people who hate it, so therefore it's Status Quo.

Anyone with $400 who wants to learn guitar ,buy a $200 guitar and spend the rest on professional tuition

On paper it's sort of a good idea ,A bit like Communism .ps Leo Fender couldn't play either so that's no excuse.

They would be better doing what Roland has done with their midi guitar. Just put a midi pickup in an actual guitar.

Are these the same people that sell those stupid air drum sticks? Those ads are amazing at showing what a shit product they are trying to sell!

Ghost tech works

Now because of You companies are changing the color of the casing, for a few months purple will be bad 😂👏

I don't know what you're charging them for a review but it's probably not enough to cover your in depth analysis. I say they're getting your notes cheap.

My guitar is perfect except the same exact noise/hum that can be heard in this video when guitar is not been played. I mostly own guitars with active humbuckers and hardtail bridges so this noise is new to me. Is it because of passive single coil pickups or arent the Tesla pickups not good enough? Or is it a shielding or grounding problem? The noise is louder when playing with tube amp, solid state is not as bad.

If chords worked it could be salvageable. They need to work on the software a bit more.

Casual musicians somehow think that having career in music business is different to having career in any other business. That you can be brutally honest and still maintain relations with companies. Try that in any other sales and we'll see how long you'll last. I've made gear tests some years ago for a quite influential local site. We were honest and we usually gave good notes to revieved gear. But it wasn't a paid job. It was something we all did in our free time AND we mostly picked the gear we wanted to test. As much as I believe in a power of negative opinions of someone with a good reputation, I also believe I can't expect a PROFESSIONAL TESTER to burn his ability to pay bills for my leisure. So I guess Your approach is the optimal one. So much so that while I'm not following You, because I find Your delivery irritating, I very much value Your opinion when I'm doing research before a purchase. So at least there's that! ;) Also: this is nothing new. I remember some 20 (ghhhhhhhhad I'm old) years ago we had the same issue with guitar magazines. The market in Poland is relatively small, if the magazine wanted to get advertisement deals and stuff to fill out the content, they had to cut the corners. Sometimes with a grace of eigteenwheeler going thru the middle of a shopping mall.

A quick message...I have nothing to say...

The sad thing is this is missing features a Casio midi guitar had when it was released in the 80s. Oh, and they sell for about the same price at the time of this post.

It seems that the golden trophy still belongs to the Casio DG-20 MIDI guitar🎉

Yup, no idea why you did it. 🥸

It's interesting. Marshall were actually ahead of the game when they released the DRP-1 and their Valvestate amps. If they had continued in that direction, repackaged and innovated on those concepts into small pedalboard friendly units everyone's using these days they'd be killing it today. IMO

Not gonna lie, I am super interested and everything you're warning me about... It's not scaring me. 11 mins in.

Purple rain, purple rain!

What was the weight like, also light like Ibanez/Stranberg? Ive heard 7/8lbs, which for my uses, defeats the point a bit. Will be looking at the GW2Pro model, hopefully the bridge on that is better

Turnip greens are mostly eaten in the southern united States.. They're a bit bitter with a little bit of a bite when boiled in some slightly salty water. An acquired taste and not for eveyone but very good for you if you can enjoy them..

You're the best Henning...period. Your standards and honest opinions are what keep me coming back. Be you, not what others tell you to be. Keep up the great work!

And another new overdrive pedal hits the market , same as guitars and amps, all supposing to be better than anything seen before. Gibson bringing out yet another 59 Burst , saying this is as near as an original as you can get , same thing they said several models ago .People rely on honest reviews as it is not easy these days to test gear out before you buy and it’s a pain buying on line and having to send products back if they don’t live up to the hype given by certain reviewers .

They should lean into a rockband style controller that simply has more fret "buttons". Play the right button, strum a specific cowboy chord with more than 4 options. Between something like that and a real midi pickup, there really does not exist a 'middle ground' ...Make a toy, or make a real musician's tool.

If this is any consolation: I never really heard of you before. And then I started getting your videos pushed to me. But the only videos that were getting pushed were your "rant" videos. These alone made me subscribe. (I'm just a crappy guitarist who spends way too much money on gear 😂). So if you really think about it, if you weren't the honest person that you are, people like me would've never discovered you in the first place. Keep it up.

This guitar belongs in the same place they buried all those E.T. Atari Cartridges back in the day.

Lol...sorry in advance Henning.... Can I have a list of what you "haven't" reviewed....(Jkg). Love your content. Thanks for all you do.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of your channel prior to this video but will be tuning in a little more after this one.

MIDI Guitar 2 app, by Jam Origin. It's amazing, you can use any guitar with it, it interfaces with all of your synth apps, it sounds great, and it works flawlessly. I could go on and on, but I don't want the 'shill' jokes to start. (I have nothing to do with this app, besides really enjoying it.) I don't know if they have an Android version, but the IOS one is AMAZING!!! If I had to remove every app from my iPad, except for 5 apps, MG2 would still be on it.

$100 Squire is the perfect guitar training tool. 😂

You and your honesty is greatly appreciated good sir

Your work screams honesty, wish the same could be said about Fluff, these past rants kinda seem directed at him and for good reason

Seems like a very handy guitar pro writer tool, or just midi writer for guitar players. I'd buy it if it was cheaper.

I thought this video was going to be about your hideous clothes.

I really appreciate you Henning , and find your attitude admirable. I have taken note of a few guitars you do not review and assume you have a bad opinion of them and that's fair. If however you haven't worked for a certain company for a while , maybe it's worth re- connecting as the guitars they made 4 years ago may now be a lot better. Anyways I think one of your videos prompted a certain Irish youtuber to keep a large shop in the UK honest about the amps they use in almost all their reviews , but weren't saying they had part ownership of the amp brand. The owner of the shop had to make a little video informing his audience of his stake in the amps. In all honesty though it was pretty obvious to me already as people who worked in said shop kept getting signature versions of these amps. I have to admit a few years ago I thought you were pushing HB a bit heavy ( especially when they first came on the scene ) but as I found out for myself when I got my hands on some of their guitars , they make great guitars for the money , and that's how gear should be judged , by what else you can get for the same price from other companies and HB often offer more bang for the buck. Don't let the paid shill comments bother you Henning 95% of your regular audience knows you are a knowledgeable , honest, decent man, giving us the best reviews possible. Also it's not mentioned enough , that you are a killer guitar player , I love to hear you play. Don't let the idiots get you down my friend!

Word! I can’t stand watching these fake / lying channels… So glad there still are a few honest people out here like you🤘🏻

I'm fully entertained by the fact that the review comes from an unapologetically, outrageously angry place.

Your most important point is: UA-camrs shouldn't be the extended arm of manufacturers' marketing department. That's not credible...

I always appreciate the in-depth review videos you do. It helps me decide about certain gear I am looking to purchase. What kind of selfish person would take in a family fleeing from war , then help set them up to continue to work in their own house, literally push him in front of the camera again to get him rolling. Really. How selfish of you Henning. (Of course I am joking, there is no font for sarcasm.) You are great for the music community and I have learned a lot from your videos, not only about gear, but about being a decent human being too.

It's like that scene in Ted. "No one has ever had the balls to talk to me like that" 😂😂

5 years on and it is still the best amp sim on the market ... !!! Amazing

Multiple things I want to say here because I can and these are all axiomatic truisms as far as I am concerned: - there are just way too many dumb, overly impressionable people on earth these days who only blame others and never look to blame themselves for their poor decision-making processes. - anyone who buys any product or spends any money on products or services based solely on the opinions of a few youtube reviewers deserves their fate. - anyone who cannot easily discern the obvious paid shills on youtube from those that are generally honest with their opinions [like Henning] reveals far more about themselves than anything else. Hell, do you even listen to what Henning says in his vids? Even for products he LOVES he always highlights the shortcomings, everything from price, to packaging, to build quality, etc etc etc. - suddenly, reviewers like MKBHD, who DO THEIR JOBS by rendering objective, evidence-based reviews get called out as DESTROYERS OF COMPANIES? IDIOCY. Whatever happened to companies simply NOT RELEASING products/services that are clearly NOT READY FOR PRIMETIME? FAFO. Marques didn't make your garbage car or garbage AI trash product. - I watch gear reviewers and demo folks to stay current on what's new on the market. That's it. I consider no one's opinion on youtube to be gospel because my own expecations and needs are unique. Henning, don't ever change. Your opinion on gear is one of the few that I do actually take into fairly serious consideration. But even so, ultimately, I must get my hands on the gear and try it out for myself. If I decide to take a chance on a new product and end up disappointed, I better have bulletproof return policies online. Still, it's still all on me. I consider your channel and the other gear channels I choose to subscribe to and give them the honor of my time to be insights into new products on the market. That's it. mini rant over. XD Cheers!

I honestly always thought that was the case about your videos. How else are you supposed to do it? That’s why I trust your show, it’s my favorite in the genre.
