Hi, I'm Mark and I've been teaching and playing guitar professionally for 26 years now, and I've picked up a lot of insights along the way; things I wish I had known when I started out. That's why I started this channel - to share this knowledge with you.
But this is more than just a place to learn guitar. It's also place where you can hang out, relax, be yourself, get support, make friends and get inspired to have more fun with your guitar. So go ahead. Pick up your axe. Hit play. And be a better guitarist.

I clean my guitar with a jet washer, ammonia or hydrochloric acid and a wire brush -- I then pour half a bottle of olive oil all over the fretboard and paint the rest of my guitar with two coats of heavy duty varnish -- 3 coats on the soundboard;; next, I pour motor oil on my strings -- to make them 'slippy';; after that, I have a sandwich and dry my guitar in the oven for two days.

Martin's official website : We do not recommend using lemon oil on our fingerboards. The acids in lemon oil break down the finish of our guitars. It may also aid the corrosion of the frets and lessen the life of the strings.

@@MusicNomadCare F-One is great stuff. Martin frowns on Lemon Oil, and I trust those guys, they have learned a thing or two about how wood behaves over time since 1833. I think it _might_ be good for _cleaning_ a dirty fretboard, but certainly not for regular treatment because of the acid thing (and I don't claim to know, just speculating, some people still swear by lemon oil, even when Martin says 'no'). Personally I've found that elbow grease and F-One get the best results. LOL just read the name of who I as replying to. Didn't realize I was preaching to the proverbial choir.... just intended to chime in and agree that F-One works great.

I noticed what looked to be quite a bit of dark, dirty spots on your neck from the oils in the finger being in contact with the neck. Do you ever take care of that or leave it? I've heard some suggest using a very fine steel wool or some other sort of somewhat-abrasive material to get that off before oiling - is that a good idea? Personally I've used it, but was curious what you thought.

Best way and safest way to clean is use a moist/wet, white cloth and a dry cloth. Wipe with wet and then immediately wipe with dry cloth. Rotate the cloth so you expose the clean portion and repeat. Do this a few times until cloth doesn't show any dirt.
