Guitar playing is hard, or any instrument for that matter. if playing something simple infront of an audience motivates that person to learn more than why are we judging? That is my opinion at least.
I don't get it? I'm just learning to play guitar and Wonderwall is one of my favorite songs. Been learning how to play it and Live Forever and I'm having a blast. It's tough and definitely not easy, but it's still really enjoyable. Is it bad to play those songs or something? I legitmately don't understand the joke.
@@nighterrors4178 Im new to play guitars as well, I think the reason why people laugh when they hear that song is because its really easy but it sounds hard, so all these people that never played guitar think "wow hes so good" and the people that play guitar just think "thats one basic song"
Why? It's not mint. That's the fun of it: playing without worrying about the finish all the time. That's why I love my old Gallagher Doc Watson so much.
@Ariz Ahmad Nazerim If I'd break it, I'd pay for the repair by a professional luthier. A damage is only very rarely a total loss. To me it's just another dreadnought.
My grandfather had a rare guitar, although I believe it was appraised at more than 125,000 I used to handle it and would help load his stuff whenever he was going to perform. It was a 1929 Martin 12 string only 2 made , if I remember correctly. Grampa was a professional storyteller, and Texas historian.
@Celery Stick I don't mind the guy just, that kinda pissed me off, seemed disrespectful. when 90% of the people that asked wouldn't be allowed to play it. great style but a $125,000 guitar unless this is Manufactured content and he already owned it at the time. you don't play it like that. if it were mine I might have struck him.
Guitars are made to be played and enjoyed. If y’all care so much about it, buy it yourself and keep it locked up where no one can enjoy it. That’s my opinion of course!
@@n1cholas.w I agree with your Opinion, the premise was he had NOT purchased it yet. a Rare 6-figure cost instrument you have to ask permission to touch.... you don't play like Saturday night Open mic bro. that's disrespectful. I assume it was already his or a plant because, if you asked to play my $125,000 guitar and started slapping my shit like YOU owned it, your ass would lose privilege's, That's my Opinion of course, I want to live in your world where you can walk up to instruments you don't own and treat them like you do.
It's a riot watching these guys trying to sensitively fingerpick on a bluegrass cannon!....like that demonstrates it's capability! Get yer frikkin pick out and play some Black Mountain Rag or some Whiskey Before Breakfast so we can HEAR the thing!!
I wanted to say the same thing but chickened out. You are correct. It's like someone handing you the keys to a 1978 Porsche 911 Turbo and you take it to get groceries... LOL
Old Brazilian Rosewood has amazing clarity and range. How many acoustic guitars sound that good on a video??? Martin set a standard that every builder wants to achieve.
@@Johnnyboyboy100 I’ve played a lot of decent Taylor’s and some wonderful old Guilds I’ve played some really bad Taylor’s some really bad Martins some good and bad Gibsons. I haven’t really found a bad Collings guitar however none of them are even close to the old 1940 D-18 I picked up years ago. Enjoy what you like.
@@gcvincent3989 I was going to buy a new Martin D-18, but as soon as I played one I didn't understand the hype. I left with a Guild instead. The martin sounded dry.
To announce to what I am assuming are old bluegrass boys like my father is. Don't for a seconds think he is the first person to slap this guitar. Just because a certain bluegrass fan only plays a guitar one way doesn't mean everyone who owns a CFMartin only plays that way. There is a reason the guitar is [beat up] worn other than scratches on the pick guard.
Imagine getting a stroke while puking on this guitar (have eaten something bad before) while it slips right out of your hand directly on the ground and breaks into two. Could happen anytime. xD
You simply nailed it with the "Little Wing" This is always the first song I play on a new guitar! Love the sound of the guitar even though the video cant really give the real sound you hear when you play on it, but still ;)
Christian Smith His last name is carpenter, your last name is smith. That's funny. By the way, my last name is smith too. And I actually smith things for fun, coincidentally
A year ago I made the best decision of my life to set out to truly learn guitar besides the four chords I started with and going to the good amount i know now and the 13 songs I've learned fully still i have a very long way to go but not only is the guitar a beautiful wonderful instrument i cant say I'd ever feel more connected to a community than the guitar community thanks everybody for making the guitar the most wonderful instrument to learn and come to love, rock on.
So, my feeling is that tonally it isn't worth the money. I mean it sounds fine/good, but outside of being able to tell people how old it is I don't see the draw.
the microphone on the camera does not do the old martins justice. I got to play a 1939 d-28 (a 50,000 dollar martin) that a local luthier (who happened to have built a banjo for the banjo player in bill monroe's band). The feel, the aura, the sound that came from that instrument, it was like nothing else. I have yet to find a guitar that came close. You just don't know until you play one.
Noah Aikens I wonder how much of the aura, the feel and the magic of the sound would still be there if you'd just been handed an instrument without being told what/how old/expensive it is. I've never seen a proper double blind, and I doubt a lot of the antique/high end instruments would justify the price difference.
Part of the beauty of a thing like the guitar is that it was an antique. It wasn't a replica of anything. It is the object of which replicas are made. They are bought for the same reason as antique furniture. There is a rarity to them. If you want a guitar that will become an antique, like a lowden, collings any high end guitar really, buy it now. Their value will increase, both sentimental and economic. But if you want an heirloom now, welll, I guess you might want to drop a butt ton of money. It's a matter of personal taste I guess
EXACTLY the first thing i thought when he said he was gunna tune up. i was like well, the strings probly arent 80 years old, so it shouldnt be any big deal, would just have to pop a fresh string on.
to all that are replying, its just a joke, who would be sane enough to put a sticker on an antique guitar, I wouldnt even do it on a cheal guitar. Just wanted to make a little joke and being ironic ;)
The Clarence White famous Martin is a 1935 D-28 too!! Tony Rice tells the story in a video, and claimed it's measurements were slightly smaller than spec in the body, plus the enlarged sound-hole, and extended fingerboard. This one sounds good too!!
The original song was written by hendrix so i quoted hendrix and why don't you go listen to srv version and hendrix version and compare it to this... it sounds like neither because this guy mixed it up his own way you idiot
Joy Benko I agree that's why people buy Martin's (D-28s specifically) to play the greatest genre of music not pop or rock any of those genres that nobody really gives a crap about. We need more people to come to Bluegrass Festivals. And that dude, Gary I could tell that he's a Bluegrasser by the g run he did at the start of the video. And the guy that posts videos on this channel that we're watching this awesome video from, I guess doesn't use a pick a lot but I think he should start using picks at all times and learn How to do a g run and start playing Bluegrass, he should stop playing whatever genre of music that he plays forever; and start playing Bluegrass and Country, two of greatest genres of music of all time. He should also learn how to play Mandolin and Banjo as well. Then get a Band started.
Sounds really good.... amazingly, doesn't sound any better than any given custom Santa Cruz... way to go Santa Cruz Guitar Company... Nice job demo'ing
It’s a well known fact among guitar players that the older the guitar, the better it sounds because it’s been played for long enough and the wood becomes more resonant or whatever making it sound richer and and crisp.
The year and the model does not always make a guitar mesh with every guitarist. Each one is unique in its ability to appeal to a set of ears and hands. I've played lots of martins dating all the way back to 1850's and each one had it's own thing just like they do now. I can grab 5 different HD-28's in a row and get a different vibe from each one even though they where all built one after the other.
This guitar sounds absolutely amazing for how old it is. Not sure if it’s worth $125k but I don’t know a ton about vintage guitars. All I know is that my friend has a custom D-28 that he bought 2 years ago for around $5k, and that he was nice enough to let me play on it A LOT. That old ass guitar sure sounds like a D-28 to me, just an older version. Worth the money? I don’t know. Edit: But then again I would totally buy it if I made that kind of money 😂
Little Wing!!!! Hell yeah! That is one of the more difficult Jimi songs I've learned. I really wish I could hear it in person. I feel like anything that old & full of experience needs to be heard in person. Regardless, it sounded great. 8,000 thumbs up. 🤘
Steven Shockley also if your into open tunings, CGCGCe is a blast, tune E down to C and A down to G and D down to C and B up to C and leave G and e string alone, it's a pretty sweet thing especially with a slide.
you won't hear what its really capable of until you put a pick into it and play it loud. Those guitars are boomers and super dynamic but also extremely balanced instruments. They need some bluegrass flat picking!
But this one is worth 125K. I don't know what your analogy was trying to get at but I bet none of your guitars are from 1938 and only are in the numbers of maybe 20-30.
Well then, how does the neck's action feel? Has it ever had a neck reset? Does it have a truss rod in the neck? Are those original tuning and bridge gear etc.? How is it with a hard full strumming, what kinds of contrasts can you get---or, why is it really worth so much?
To all the people saying it doesnt sound good, It's not that it sounds good (which it does) but this guitar has been around for almost a century. A real guitar enthusiast will understand what I'm saying. This thing sounds amazing for its age
My father had a gibson c&w. model..it turned up missing at a "friends" .shop.. This guy called mom a few yrs later said he felt bad...he sold mom what turned out to be a 1934 herringbone...50.00... Dad actually had a wood screw in the end to hold a strap...it fell to a concrete floor...cracked the body...dad ended up getting a shure mike and a cheap kay banjo for it...he never ever thought of it being valuable...to me it played hard but man it rang like a bell...
Hey Music is Win, I suggest you try out the "langka guitar" from the Philippines. It's made from Jackfruit wood. Once the wood matures, the guitar gives you this rich tone :D
I have a used Fender Del Mar acoustic that I bought for 150 dollars and it sounds just as good, if not better. Guitars are simple tools and the hype surrounding certain brands and eras is mostly just that-pure, unsubstantiated hype. If you’re a good player you’ll sound good on anything with decent craftsmanship and setup. If you’re a bad player you’ll sound bad on everything. Simple as that.
OK, Guys and Gals, I own a Martin, Taylor, Gibson, and several other high end acoustic guitars. To my shock, I listened to DeDePick, a Canadian picker on a Boucher acoustic. That guitar has a sound to die for. I wish I had bought a Boucher, really. It may be the way it is set up, the equalizer, or the amp he is using, but it beats any guitar I own for pure sound. Ya'll check it out for yourself. Look and listen to "Wildwood Flower" by DeDePick.
Imran Ex-Muslim Trigger is going to sell for ten million dollars if Willy's Estate puts it up for sale, but my bet is that it'll go into a museum, not a private collection.
Imagine you playing the exact same notes you played in this video but its back IN 1935?? Before Hendrix, or even Deep Purple lol, music has come so far from then man!!! WE ROCK!!!!
Can't believe Gary traded off his old shade top D-28. That thing was a beast! This sounds good over a telephone with cheap headphones. Would love to hear it in person.
