A Vintage Feel For A Relatively Low Price | Jazz Archtop Guitar Review

Описание: In this video, I review a cool, modern archtop from Guild that is basically a replica of one of their older models that were made in the USA. This particular Guild X-175 was made in the last 15 years in Korea and has since been discontinued. That being said, these guitars are in the $1,000 range and can be picked up used on Reverb. I happen to like several things about this guitar, including the price point. However, the overall tone of the archtop does not knock my socks off. This guitar would be a very solid archtop for gigging or for a beginner jazz player. Let me know what you think about it. Leave me a comment, and thanks for watching!!

About Rich:
Originally from the L.A. area, Rich has been playing professionally and teaching guitar for over thirty years. His education includes years of college and private instruction with a variety of teachers, including Mitch Holder, Ted Greene, Joe Pass, and Charlie Shoemake, to name a few. He feels education is a continuing process. There's always more to learn. Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Ted Greene, and Larry Carleton have all influenced his playing.


Rich wrote three books for a major publisher, Dale Zdenek/ Belwin Mills/Columbia, providing him the opportunity to work with other great artists/authors like Tommy Tedesco, Joe Diorio, and Ted Greene. After teaching at GIT/Musicians Institute, in Hollywood, CA, for three years, he developed and published his own home study guitar school-type curriculum available on his website www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com which has helped over ten thousand students improve their playing.


Rich has won honorable mentions and awards in songwriting and served as president of the Ventura County Producers and Songwriters Guild. Touring for three years with "Dick Clark's Good Old Rock and Roll Show," he had the opportunity to perform with Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Anthony, and many other great, old-time rock and rollers.


After moving his family to the Yosemite/Fresno area, he taught guitar and directed the jazz band at Fresno Pacific University for two years. Being a well-rounded player, Rich is comfortable playing a variety of styles, including jazz (his favorite), blues, rock, fusion, country, and solo fingerstyle. He performs at local venues in a number of different scenarios, as a solo guitarist, with his jazz trio or quartet or smooth jazz quintet. At home in his studio, he is continually producing new lessons for YouTube and www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com.


The years of experience and knowledge he can share with you will
help you be the player you always dreamed you'd be.
