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.

Please watch video the for the John Mclaughlin fingering etc. I start all of these arpeggios on a down stroke with strict alternate picking for rhythmic precision. I am counting in 16ths 1 e and a etc. Most of the arpeggios are one note per string.
Example 1: John Mclaughlin D major 7th arpeggio.
Example 2: Adding Lydian [and 9th and 13th] to John Mclaughlin’s D Major 7th alternate picking arpeggio
Example 3: Starting Arpeggio with Pentatonic John Mclaughlin style
Example 4: Pentatonic to Lydian John Mclaughlin guitar style
Example 5: Descending Arpeggio with simple John Mclaughlin fingering counting 1 e and a etc.
Example 6: Extension
Example 7: Variation
Example 8: Simple fingering descending concept.
