Holy Joke | Live at Old Town School Music Store | "Sink In"
Greg Taylor and Max Berg of Holy Joke brought their captivating blend of studied songcraft and unabashedly beautiful guitar work to this morning take on recent release "Sink In," live at @OldTownSchoolMusicStore-and honestly, hearing Taylor tuck our Minnesota-crafted Claseman parlor guitar right into this lush mix was a real treat for our film crew.
Many thanks to Greg and Max for an inspired Holy Joke duo session, some seriously hummable harmonies, and an infectious appreciation for a performance shared between friends.

Old Town's Colby Maddox blazes through traditional tune "Bill Cheatham" on the Northfield Big Mon!
zhlédnutí 47Před měsícem
Beautifully designed by real players to push the boundaries of traditional mandolin music, @NorthfieldMandolins' Big Mon fuels one of the most fluid, resonant takes on traditional tune "Bill Cheatham" we've ever heard at @OldTownSchoolMusicStore in this morning session with @oldtownschool instructor and archivist Colby Maddox.
Old Town School's own Chris Walz *delivers* "Fireball Mail" on a Deering Sierra resonator banjo!

With its tasteful satin finish, violin grade 3-ply maple rim, and acclaimed "06" tone ring, @DeeringBanjoCo's Sierra resonator banjo is a true workhorse instrument with an articulate, balanced tone that's set the standard in its price range for 30 years-and counting. @oldtownschool staple Chris Walz was quick to put this one through its paces with the early morning momentum of Roy Acuff's "Fire...
Josephine | Live at Old Town School Music Store | "How I Love You"

Listening through the nuanced, dreamy orchestration of Chicago-based Josephine's debut EP Leaning before her live session, we weren't quite certain how the lush opening track "How I Love You" would translate acoustically @OldTownSchoolMusicStore-but as soon as soundcheck started, we realized this song's balanced, light touch might be even better suited to two tasteful guitars and Josephine's un...

Big thanks to the tirelessly touring Elijah Berlow (and his downright distracting @martinguitar OM-21) for sharing an as-yet unreleased song, "Saving Skin" during his live session at @OldTownSchoolMusicStore. We're totally taken with Berlow's ability to weave hyper specific, imagery-filled lyrics into folk melodies so timeless, we've honestly been wondering what we've been humming all week arou...
Ester | Live at Old Town School Music Store | "Lonely"
zhlédnutí 88Před měsícem
Within minutes of setting-up for this Ester shoot, songwriter Anna Holmquist had dialed-in a glassy, almost hollow Stratocaster sound that so perfectly captured the space of the @OldTownSchoolMusicStore, we had to check to be sure it hadn't been balanced during editing. This practiced, seamless blending of electric guitar and cello lets the imagery of Holmquist's lyrics ride the swells between ...

zhlédnutí 70Před 2 měsíci
There's a really sweet tension between folk songwriter Elijah Berlow's relaxed, conversational vocal delivery and his propulsive, patterned fingerstyle playing. With just his worn @martinguitar OM-21 in hand, he reeled us through images of nature, family, and meandering travel-leading us through the homey imagery of his lyrics, and never lingering too long in memories.

Canadian songwriter Noah Zacharin's "Done Gone Gone" is such a dynamic, imagery-filled four minutes that we honestly forgot it was a straightforward blues number until we finished this video. Zacharin's beautifully worn @CollingsGuitars OM2H is as faithful a traveling companion as ever through this relaxed take-and with that solo at 2:20, we're just grateful to be along for the ride.

As the Guitar and Music Theory Program Manager here at @oldtownschool, seasoned player and educator Eric Singh really could have picked from any number of simple, familiar standards to highlight our newest Lyon & Healy handcrafted classical acoustic. But settling, we've learned, isn't Eric's style. Instead, Singh's own masterful guitar arrangement of J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in D Major, Pr...
Ester | Live at Old Town School Music Store | "Seed, Sun, Soil"
zhlédnutí 144Před 4 měsíci
What can we say? Ester just entrances us. Cello counterpoint climbs through a shimmering clean Burgundy Mist Stratocaster, a fragile folk melody descends to meet it in a passing chord, careful but confident. Chicago-based songwriter Anna Holmquist draws easy comparisons to the English folk-inflected tunes of Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Joanna Newsom, or even the poignant vocal work of Kate Bush, but...
Hollyy | Live at Old Town School Music Store | "Miss the Feeling"
zhlédnutí 51Před 4 měsíci
When we locked-down a morning live session with Chicago indie soul band Hollyy, we knew Tanner and Brandon were no strangers to acoustic sets-but we definitely didn't think they'd attempt "Miss the Feeling," a late sixties-inspired soul single swimming in lush, ornate arrangements. With just two acoustic guitars and the kind of confidence that only comes from making music with close friends, ou...

Seamlessly weaving between memorable fingerstyle motifs, tasteful accompaniment, and refined improvisational breaks, a session filming acclaimed Canadian musician Noah Zacharin is a true class in serving the song. At just over three minutes long, "In Love Again" is a polished gem of a performance, with Zacharin's well-loved @CollingsGuitars OM2H stepping in and out of the spotlight to support a...
Colby Maddox brings out the "Big Mon" F-Style Mandolin-and gets to know our new favorite Northfield.
zhlédnutí 267Před 5 měsíci
Introduced in 2009, the "Big Mon" is a truly unique, handcrafted Northfield creation: a tastefully enlarged take on their standard F5 Style mandolin, delivering immediately appreciable bass and midrange response, and an undeniable air and atmosphere to the instrument's overall blend. Inspired by the innovators and pioneers of acoustic music in the United States, the "Big Mon" design is a bold t...
Chris Rawlins | Live at Old Town School Music Store | "Don't Forget"
zhlédnutí 119Před 5 měsíci
From artfully descriptive lyrics to a deceptively subdued fingerstyle delivery, Chicago songwriter Chris Rawlins has an undeniable grasp of the midwestern mood. "Don't Forget Me" is exactly the sort of familiar-but-unplaceable meditation on leaving the plains that could just as easily accompany a CTA commute in Chicago, or a night drive home down a dirt road. And played on his 1948 Gibson LG-3,...
Take a listen to Tárrega's "Lágrima" on our latest handcrafted Lyon & Healy classical guitar!

From the inspired, crisp response of a solid cedar top to the lush blend of meticulously matched figured grenadilla back and sides, we knew this Spanish-crafted Lyon & Healy classical acoustic guitar was something special as soon as we set it up. But in the hands of longtime Old Town School teacher Jacob Sweet, Tárrega's standard "Lágrima" simply comes alive with exactly the articulate balance ...

great 🙂
the perk of living is that forgetting is inevitable.
What a wonderful song! That is pretty magical
Grand, no joke!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!! Thank you, sir. 🎶🎵🪕
I recently bought a J-05. Amazing guitar!
Thanks! Chris 🎶🪕
The Kentucky has a more full tone and beefier bass.
Sounds lovely!
Your sister is also a great picker !
Sounds really good ! Salt creek was also my first banjo piece to play for friends !
Hi! I’m hoping to try one soon. What is the binding made of?
This was terrific -keep it up!
I want it
Man if I saw this video first I may have bought the ice blue one instead of the surf green one. I was going back and for and chose the surf green. I really like it but wow that blue looks so sharp here.
Doesn’t sound very full. Sounds muffled. However his playing is the bomb!
is this one still available??
Thanks, it is! www.oldtownschool.store/martin-2023-namm-special-limited-run-d-28-dreadnou.html
I keep rewinding the first 40 seconds -- what is the tuning here? Does anyone know? Such a great artist
CGCEGC thank you!
@@hannahfrancesmusic Rad! Thanks I'll try it out - I enjoy FAEGCE
@@hannahfrancesmusic just stumbled on a BADGBE vid but it's so blown out distorted it's hard to tell. Another one to try! So rad people are tuning how they please
eccezionale
Anyone know tuning? Or have a tab?
CGCEGC
@@hannahfrancesmusic omg thank you hannah! Love love love the new album, the songs have been so fun to learn too!
Hello! What is your opinion, which is better, worse or preferable: Furch Blue D-MM or this Martin&
...mmmm....very nice...smiles for miles....they melded together as if one....
I can't find the spec sheet for the D05. Width of the neck at the nut, width at the body....etc.
This would look great with a black edge burst finish like Taylor does on their models. Already sounds great
Bluegrass. Counting really fast. With Attitude.
I didn't expect that demo. So cool! 🎉
Sublime tones
Love it
As a short-fingered fellow I must say I am so-o-o-o jealous! Great picking!
Love this arrangement, Jacob -- Sesame Street meets jazz
Wow... Jacob really brings it here
That IS good! Great guitar too!
Mighty fine Jacob thanks!
A fine sound and a fine player thanks.
Gorgeous. I’m not sure how I was recommended this video but it was a gem
I have played a furch at my favorite music store. But I bought this exact model based off of this video
"...lush blend...articulate balance and sustain..." Oh, fluff & puff "lush blend" (what does that even mean?) with an opinion about the balance and sustain.Typical guitar sales nonsense. Don't be bamboozled. Accept no claims without evidence.
Young lady in blue has a great sound coming from that guitar of hers 😍😍
Great playing, Great banjo!
That blue is insane. 😍
😊
Acoustic performance always sounds better. This is how you prove you're the real deal.
Do you like the Furch more than the Martin OOO-15M? What is the difference between the two?
Wow. I haven’t seen a bubinga OM though I’m actually in the process of building one. My only reason is that the back and side sets of bubinga were considerably less cost than the East Indian rosewood at Rare Woods USA and it being my first from scratch acoustic I thought I’d rather experiment without investing too much. My first side bending, not including practice pieces, was not great but seems to be holding up so neck and heel blocks and kerfed lining are installed. Now a few side cleats inside and sides will be close to ready to get back and soundboard attached.
"I want to be shaped by the love I have, not haunted by the lack" is a brilliant line
Such an exceptional songwriter, not to mention her musicianship.. so so underrated
How would this guitar compare to a much more expensive 000-15m? I ask because I want to buy the martin, but can only afford the furch. I tried the martin in shop and loved it, but they dont have any furchs. So I contemplate whether I should save up or order the furch to test it out.
I've had both. Honestly, the Furch is built better but the Martin has that Martin sound
@@teodelnorte Sounds reasonable
Bravo!
I have one of these. Its a brilliant guitar. Fantastic review.
How much. 7500.00 lol
Exactly that much 😂
