In relation to guitar tones, we hear terms like "scooped mids," "bell-like chime," "warmth" or "brightness," or "midrange monster" all the time; but outside of these trendy terms, there is a vast universe of tonal nuance to understand in the realm of tonewoods. When we discuss tonewoods, we're talking about both the top and back/sides of the guitar, and the different combinations of soft and hard woods that are paired on fine instruments. Spruce, cedar, rosewood, mahogany, maple, and koa are some options just at the surface of this conversation-- today, Chris McKee dives in deep to give you a better understanding of these woods, and even debunks some common misconceptions you might've heard online. Tell us your favorite wood combination in the comments below!

As a person who, in my mid 50s, is just starting to look for my first guitar, you and Cooper have provided so much great advice and knowledge. Quality videos like these are rare because they take time and effort. Super job! You provide an amazing service to us newbies!

Chris I wanna say that thank you for this video. I really like how you demonstrate the difference of the various tonewoods. I have an all-Sapele Martin and it sounds similar with Mahogany and I might go for a D15M soon as I really like the sound of it. Btw, I really like the fingerstyle melodies you do with all of the guitars.

So interesting !! Probably the best video I have ever watched on tonewoods characteristics and impact on the instruments sound ! So complete, with clear technical aspects very well explained. I personally only play ukuleles, but luthery and tonewoods have always fascinated me, and most of what you say is applicable to smaller instruments as well. I personally also pay a great attention to strings choice to enhance or tame certain characteristics of the instruments I buy : clear fluorocarbon versus black nylon are both ends of the spectrum from ultra bright "high definition" to more forgiving "dark", round and mellow sound. Thank you so much for this very good content, instructive and very well put together ! 🌷

Chris- I don’t know how I missed this video when it came out. This video is fantastic! The way you explain and present these guitars and the tone wood differences really make it easier to understand. As a 68 year old dude who has tried, and purchased nearly 100 guitars trying to find that perfect combination of woods, my personal experience mimics what you say. Unfortunately, it took me thousands of dollars buying and selling off models trying to find “the sound”. They way you explained it, helps a lot. Even after my own experiences, I learned a lot from this. Thank you

What a great video, so informative and interesting. Mostly my ear is drawn to the sound of the Mahogany/Spruce combo but recently I've discovered my Maple/Spruce jumbo sounds fantastic in double drop D tuning, now I think I can understand why thanks to this informative video, it never occurred to me to try it in that tuning before.
