Glarry GTL Semi Hollow Guitar Review/Demo How it sounds, Quality of build

The “Glarry GTL Semi Hollow” guitar is a budget guitar aimed at beginners. It is also good for anyone interested in guitar “Modding” [Modifying]. It can be a hit or miss affair though as the Glarry shop is an online retailers and hence the guitars can’t be tried out as in a physical shop.

That being said, I actually had lots of fun playing my Glarry guitar. The action was low and great to play, although, I did have two strings the 1st and the 5th that had fret buzz.

After I had heightened the action slightly [On these two strings] the guitar played pretty well. The pickups are not the best but they seem to work well. The machine heads are basic but work. The body is really nice though and made of a very light bass wood that has been hollowed out with an “F Hole”‘

The neck is made of maple but completely unvarnished. This creates a satin like feel [But will get dirty over time]. There was also a blemish on the neck joint. The fingerboard was really nice and flat with 22 frets laid in very well with no noticeable sharp bits protruding out.

IN CONCLUSION:

Buying a guitar especially a beginners guitar at a bargain price online is always going to be a hit or miss affair. My review is for the guitar that I received which [Apart from a cosmetic detail and 2 strings buzzing] was a pretty good guitar.

The important thing is to read the returns policy thoroughly before buying. That way you should be okay if the guitar arrives with any serious defaults.

Sight Reading Guitar Music PART 2: Faster way for frustrated Guitarists:

Sight Reading Guitar Music: Faster way for frustrated Guitarists: Part 2

PLEASE: WATCH VIDEO AS IT WILL EXPLAIN AND DEMONSTRATE THE CONCEPT IN GREATER DETAIL.

In this 2nd part of sight reading made easier at the guitar we will employ octaves. This will reinforce our familiarity with the notes in the 5th position, frets 1 to 8. This way we can assure ourselves that our fingers will know where to go when seeing the notes on music manuscript paper. This is essential so that we can just fret the notes without having to look at the finger board and decide which finger to use.

Example 1: C to C octave. Close your eyes and visualise this as you pretend to finger those notes on the guitar fretboard:

Feel the 4th finger to the 1st finger

Now do the same, but, see it in music notation: C to C octave, Feel the fingering as if you are actually touching the guitar strings and say the names of the notes to yourself.

As you do this you will familiarise your mind, fingers and sight with where to fret.

Now let’s do the same with the other simple octaves from the A minor pentatonic scale.

The octaves in 5th position. Frets 1 to 8

The octaves give concrete knowledge of the notes in this 5th position and which fingers to use. This way we can read the music and not panic or fuss about looking for the notes or which fingers to employ. For example when we see a note of D

We can be assured that all we need to do is fret with the “First finger” on the 5th fret of the 5th string.

Or up an octave=”3rd finger ” 4th string 7th fret

In the next part we will look at 4ths, 5ths and arpeggio shapes in this position.
