I learned a new word!
This might sound terrible; but really, it's a tall order making FAS videos with players like Leon and Cordy out there. What are you going to show us that those two aren't already on top of having RIDICULOUS chops. TPM is probably a much better fit for the YTr in question.
I'd have probably sold my FM3 much sooner if it weren't for Doug. Maybe it's the GenX in me but a lot of the other Fractal tutorials I watched went way too fast for me, and I hate pausing every 1.6 seconds. As far as how good a player is, that is roughly last place in importance for me when watching any tutorial, demo, or review. I like Leon but honestly I fast forward past the solo noodling stuff ( true for every demo/review/dialing vid I watch) other than a few seconds of it because thats all I need as far as that's concerned. When showing how something sounds I am way more concerned that the player is in tune and is playing chords in various stages of gain. Then show me like 10-20 seconds of noodling.
On that subject, it grinds my gears when a reviewer only uses single coils for an entire review/demo. Especially when showing anything that has some distortion to it. Most rock and heavier players only use single coils for specialty stuff like cleans and soloing. For me 90% of my playing is on the bridge humbucker.
That said, I think Mr. Doug's strength is tutorials on how to use stuff and he should probably stay in his lane and leave the techy stuff up to the techy people.
