Old Guy Guitar Tunings and Partial Capos
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed měsícem
As we age, our vocal range tends to drop, so maybe it's time to alter your guitar tuning. Try tuning your guitar down either a 1/2 step or a full step to accommodate your older voice. And learn about the fun you can have using a partial capo.

In answer to several comments from the review of my new Emerald X20 carbon fiber guitar, I have compared the sound of the guitar using a Lavalier Mic, compared to the sound using a Zoom H4n Pro portable recorder. I think the Lavalier Mic sound is fuller... what do you think ?

You can't talk about a 12-string without mentioning Dick Rosmini, the greatest of 'em all.
Bet that bad boy can crush some bluegrass!
Link? Already sold??
It is still available on reverb.com as of 8/21/24. Listed as 'Dan's 1969 Martin D-28 Brazilian'.
I got the pre production number 4 out of 10 of their walnut guitar and it is my favorite guitar by far. These things are worth every penny. Absolutely beautifully crafted and amazing playability and sound
Enjoy your guitar & thanks for watching. I'm waiting for mine to get back from my guitar tech - it badly needed a set-up, but other than that, I'm impressed by build quality & sound.
IMO the rode sounds best.
I agree. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful guitars.... Wonder where they are sold
Sold direct, but listed on Reverb.com. US buyers save about $100 if purchased through the Chicago showroom. The main shop in Canada has a better selection, but cost is higher.
Great video, thanks! I am 67 now and have also started lowering my guitar 1/2 step for some songs. I'm totally new to partial capos, though -- someone just recently showed me the trick of putting a Kyser on backwards to get shifted DADGAD tuning and I was blown away -- I'll be getting the Shubb though since it's a much cleaner solution.
Thanks for watching ! Enjoy that lowered tuning.
Great bargen! Good for you! It sounds very nice, and similar to my All-Solid Faith Venus Blood Moon...
Thanks for watching. The Faith Venus Blood Moon is a cool looking guitar - enjoy.
Thank you for sharing this interview. I enjoyed it so far. Lol. 1 stringed uke. 😅 Listened as far as Guy saying he wished his father had recorded himself playing. Great idea to record for the family and future generations. My eyes are sleepy 😊. Perked up and listened til conversation aboit capo Chad Ackins. Looking forward to continue listening.... Thanks again.
Thank you for listening !
Sounds better than 90% of the demos l see on rigs 10times the price
I'm quite surprised by the sound quality. Looking forward to playing it after the luthier set-up. Thanks for watching.
Cool video!
Thank you for watching !
this guitar in that finish is my dream guitar. how did you get this?
It just popped up on Reverb one day. I love blue so I hit the buy button. I have seen several faded denim OM size versions, but this one was the first S6 in faded denim. They must have produced a good number of them...the trick is finding them.
I've stayed away from buying a 12 string because of this very reason...also there's only one song I know to play that was originally recorded on a 12. Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive". Also 12's are REALLY expensive ($1,500) and not always in stock at my local music shop.
Nothing like the sound of a 12 string acoustic.
I totally agree !
Great guitars thanks for the video - Just be careful Santos is not a Rosewood species. Santos or other times called Morado, is not technically a Dalbergia species- they have some similarities in color and its often sold on the furnature market as a substitute for Brazilian RW. - Just clarifying incase people are in the market lots of makers (not saying Bridgeport) will "market" woods to sell guitars that are affordable for them to make. Keep up the great work on your videos.
Thanks. The word 'Rosewood' gets used quite a lot in today's guitar building industry, as you mention, although sometimes not as accurately as it should.
@@toddcwalker4208 it would also be good to mention that by "Made Over Seas" you mean China, not Japan or Korea, South America, etc etc. Lots of people get info from youtube esp. Review videos.
@@jonryanmcgregor8877 Good point, thanks.
Great suggestion! Thanks! I just recently acquired a Levin/Martin W 12-38 built ca 1977. I am the second owner of this guitar. It sounds so sweet! This series was built by hand in Sweden after Martin bought Levin. Matin’s contribution to the design is apparently the double truss rods. An intriguing instrument.
I've not heard of a Levin/Martin. Sounds like a nice guitar. Enjoy playing it.
Mellow, warm and tranquil. It is a beautiful sounding instrument. Your demonstration of its capabilities was exquisite.
I appreciate your comments. Thank you !
Really great lesson! Partial capos are great and I hack my own Shubbs (love them). Also really dig your Emerald, even the color, and I’m not usually a fan of teal.
Shubb capos are terrific. If I remember, I purchased my first full-sized Shubb way back (1980's maybe). Good on-ya for modifying your Shubbs - I've tried and failed. 🙂
Just ordered an X10, can’t wait to give it a spin
So cool ! Enjoy your new X10.
The sound is wonderful ❤
That guitar is GORGEOUS
Thanks for watching. Yes, I agree - I love the color.
I forgot partial capos even existed. Thanks!
Partial capos make my life so much easier. Thanks for watching.
🚬🤠 cool stuff, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
What about playing regular songs and that tune in you can’t do it
Really enjoyed this and learned a lot! Thank you!
Thank you for watching/listening. Best to you.
Good content. Nobody talks about partial capos.
I cannot remember who told me about partial capos, but 'thank you' to whoever you are. Thanks for watching. Best to you.
Hi Todd, very professional and detailed review as always! I like it a lot!
Hi Biao - Best to you !
Great interview.
Viners Music store in Bangor ME!
I couldn't remember the name - thank you. I spent many a Saturday afternoon there drooling over guitars.
What do you mean with alternate tuning systems? In my understanding alternate tuning systems mean f.e. 1/4-comma-meantone, well-tempered or microtonal tunings etc., i.e. tunings that aren’t available with frets?
It is my understanding that an alternate tuning is any tuning different from standard pitch.
@@toddcwalker4208 Do you mean f.e. 390, 409, 423, 430,5, or 452 instead of 440 Hz for an a? But this kind of correlation is totally arbitrary, while alternate tuning systems mean different interval correlations.
@@trabouliste1037 I use either DADGAD or DGCFAD tuning.
What an amazingly personal and insightful interview coupled with some beautiful guitar playing… props to the both of you for a wonderful conversation….
Bill is a wonderful person. It was so much fun getting to know more about him. Thank you for watching.
👍
Nice video Todd!
Thanks Carl ! Hope you're doing well.
Good to know, thank you, Todd!
Hi Dulcie !
Love your professional videos of the Emerald X20. The sound quality is great and accurately shows the way the guitar sounds. I have an Emerald X30 and I absolutely love it.
Thanks Charles. I haven't yet had the pleasure of playing an X30, but I look forward to it. Good to hear that you're enjoying yours.
more talking than playing a guitar
Worth listening to as he has vast experience of playing guitars over many many years … there are countless people who can make a guitar sound sweet but this guy has the vocabulary to impart sound knowledge & advice…
When i started playing guitar in 2011 at 44. i bought a S6 and still to this day love that guitar.. Great guitar for a budget..
Glad to hear you're still enjoying your S6 - I was playing mine yesterday getting ready for a gig at one of the local memory care facilities.
My least favorite guitar and the sound compared to my Yamaha isn't even close . Got to sell it first chance I get .
Yamaha builds some great guitars, at all price levels. I've owned many.
Sounds good is good 👍
Thanks for watching.
Sounds great, I wish I had your budget, lol.
Yep, I spend way too much money on guitars.
@@toddcwalker4208 I would like to. lol
Really cool Seagull S6. I’ve never seen that blue/green color. I own a couple of Seagulls, one being the S6 original and the other an Entourage Rustic which has the 1.72 nut. The S6 original has the 1.8 nut. These guitars were bought new around 2012. Only recently have I set my beloved Seagulls aside, after buying a Yamaha concert size Red Label fs3. I will say that the Yamaha is a whole different level of guitar for not much more than the Seagulls. The Seagull S6 Original cost me $420 new and the Entourage was about a hundred less. I mean, those guitars were a great value for all wood and built right in Canada. I never thought my S6 Original had that ‘cool’ factor, but the one you have is one of the more cool looking guitars I’ve seen from any guitar company.
I agree that Yamaha makes great guitars at affordable prices. I've owned several LL models.
I own an X30 that makes me wish it had been the first guitar I had purchased instead of my last.
Ditto that
Promo`SM ☝️
I used a Zoom H4n Pro recorder. I apologize for making the mistake and confusing it with an H2n.
Todd, thanks for a great video. The tone is the best I've heard so far on the X20 ! I'm considering an X20 or X30. I had a chance to try an X30. I liked it but it left me wondering what the X20 would sound and feel like.
And I'm curious about the X30. I have been pleasantly surprised at the full sound of the X20. For most players, the smaller body size of the X20 is probably better for the average player. Thanks for watching the video.
We miss Max. So sorry to hear he passed. Rest in peace, Max.
Love mine! Just as nice to play as any of my Taylors, but no concerns about temperature, humidity, indoors, outdoor or whatever! Rock solid!!
Absolutely ! My Taylor's don't get much playing time now.
Great review!
You really should have gotten the ghost piezo w/ k &k and you would have loved it more. I out heavy strings on mine and it rivals my Martin. Then when I got my X30, I sold my Martin - because the X30 sounded so much better. Also, please know that black is not the only non-vivid color. They have 5 non-vivid colors and then all the vivid colors along with the choose of hundreds of veneers that are so thin and integrated so well you cannot tell they are there and they aren’t affected by any weather.
Great review - subscribed!
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Happy Easter !
Excellent review! How do you only have <80 subscribers???? Keep this up. Please! I got my x20 a year ago but I would have liked to see your review before the purchase. The interesting thing about the x20, besides being awsome to play (My two Martins are not getting enough exercise these days), is how it has changed how I think about guitars. I no longer care about tonewoods, bracing, humidity levels, risks of transportation, and other woodguitar related worries. This is next level stuff! I may buy other wood guitars for gigging - for Emerald is a bit too pricey to be put before a drunk and disorderly public - but for my own private use, there will only be carbon.
