No need to apologize for your language. English is a difficult language to learn and you deserve credit for your efforts . Americans in general would do well to learn a foreign languag.
Thanks :)
@@benjaminguillet3210 - Your English is better than my "anything else", and I live in a non-English speaking country. Thanks for the comparison, I would say stick with the same song with each guitar like you did at the end so we can compare song by song if you happen to do this again. Thanks much though I have been interested in resonator sound comparisons.
@thebiggianthead8364 thanks for your feedback. In fact I'm preparing a huge video with a lot lot more resonators... stay tuned. 😊
Music is the language we all understand, and yours is beautiful! Merci!
Thanks a lot for your words !
They all sound incredible, and your playing is absolutely beautiful.
Thanks 😊
Your playing is Beautiful and very refreshing. Nice comparisons and English is fine.
Thanks a lot !
Thanks for the comparison. Never seen that before.
Thanks for your feedback :)
Speaking as an American, your English is beautiful. Excellent presentation.
Thanks a lot ! 😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this and learned a lot! Thank you! You really brought out the tonal and construction differences. I don't own a resonator guitar yet, but you've started me on the trail. Your English is very good, and your playing is superb!
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed.
Hea, you are a really fine, welleducated and humble guitarist!
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
Thank you. That is an excellent demonstration of the three types of reso guitar. Of course they are all fine examples of their kind but that spider cone stands out for me as a sweet and versatile instrument. I have a spider cone Gretsch and it's good enough for me, but it's pleasant to hear such high-quality guitars played so well.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
This is just what I was looking for. Many thanks. Your English is very good as well.
Your English is adequate, your playing is fantastic
Thanks a lot !
Thanks for this fantastic video and especially doing it in English! Your very lovely playing makes all the guitars sound outstanding, and I watched to the end mainly to hear you play. Thanks for taking the time to do this project.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed this video. :)
Great Sound ! Beautiful Guitars ! Thanks Benjamin.
Merci Will 😊
I’m brand new to resonators and am considering purchasing my first one. This comparison video and your demonstration has been super helpful, really interesting and a delight on the ears. Thank you. Your English is fantastic by the way. I love your accent. Keep on resonating brother! 🎸🕺✨
Those are all beautiful guitars. Beautiful playing too. Great video!
Thanks 😊
Great video Benjamin, and finally in English 😊🤙 !
It was not easy, but fun. I have to start learning German now... Thanks my friend. ;)
Good comp. Great playing! And your English is spot on. The Mule is my current dream guitar. I have 4 Nationals. 3 pre 1933 And a contemporary Tricone. Amongst 5 or 6 other various reso's. Keep up the good work. Cheers from New Mexico.
Thanks a lot for your feedback ! Cheers from France :)
Benjamin...you are fantastic...thank you for the beautiful review!
Thanks a lot to you for watching :)
Thank you! 🙏 What a fantastic video, so informative and absolutely beautiful playing! ♥️
Thanks a lot :)
Excellent video - extremely helpful for me as I decide on what to buy. Thank you!
Thanks ! I'm glad you enjoyed it. ;)
A nice demonstration of the differences between the guitars and your playing is great! Your presentation in English was fine - keep it up!
Thanks a lot 😊
really beautiful playing man, lovely and expressive. really captured the guitars perfectly
Thanks a lot !
such amazing playing!!! beautiful
Thanks 😊
That was a nice surprise when you started speaking in English!! You speak it very very well and I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks a lot Philip for your support ! I really appreciate it. ;)
Wow...great demo. Magnifique !
Thanks 😊
great video, fantastic playing. Bravo!
Thanks 😊
Thank you, from Chicago. I enjoyed this video very much.
Thanks a lot for your feedback ;)
So amazing.
Thank you very much for sharing!
Thanks a lot for watching, I'm glad you like it. 😊
Very helpful review, personally I loved the sound and looks of the Mule. Enjoyed your tasteful playing too.
Thanks a lot ! There is no wrong choice here. 😊
You done a great job will watch more
Thanks 😊
Your English is very good and your playing is even better. Superb video all round.
Thanks a lot 😊
Your playing is excellent! And English is great as well 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
That was one great and useful comparison - Thank You so much!! Your playing surely brings the most out of these beautiful instruments. And I have to agree: Spider is good for all that country stuff - so that is the one for me. (Because I am a cowboy you know.😉)
Looking forward to Your next resonator video, and happy greetings from Germany.
P.S.: Your english is as good as perfect - no need to apologize.😃
Thanks for your kind words. 😊
Very nice collection of guitars. I understood you very well. No problem with the English and you played very beautifully.
Thanks 😊
Thanks so much, Benjamin! Love to see all four guitars. All great sounding but so different. I would go with the Mule if I should choose one. The playability is very important for me. And yeah, it sounds great of course. Thanks for speaking English so I could follow you. Cheers my friend!
Thanks a lot for your feedback Bernd. I'm glad you appreciate my French accent. 😊
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. A great demonstration of the different resonators. Also great playing. Your English is better than my French 😅. Zoot alures
Thanks for your feedback 😊
Love this. You play superbly, and your English is excellent, by the way. I have a beautiful National Style O from 1935. I only wish I could play it as well as you.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. That national style O is probably killer.
Excellent video my friend! I congratulate you for the work you did in English. I know what it takes to record a video in a language different than your mother tongue. And of course, the content of the video is awesome. Well done!
Merci encore Pierre ;)
Excellent video. Your English is very good!
Thanks 😊
Well done! your English is excellent as was the content and information in this video 🙂
Thanks a lot ;)
No need to apologize for your English. You did great! But that playing... !! Loved what you were playing, especially the last bit you played on all four of the resonators. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot ! I'm glad you appreciate. ☺️
I love your guitar playing!
Thanks a lot !
Great video, merci beaucoup (thus ends the extent of my French 😉 )! I think the answer is simple; you need one of each, just as you have clearly determined.
Thanks a lot ! If you enjoyed this video, you'll perhaps appreciate this one with tons of resonators. czcams.com/video/KloSjZZekF4/video.htmlsi=Tz5c_lRWTjH0pGH9
Reso rock! But I must say the Mule really stands out, at least to my ears :-) Thanks for this video Benjamin!
Merci Laurent ! J'adore cette Mule ;)
Your English and playing is Great.Agree with another commenter. Better than a lot of what I've heard here in the states.Appreciated the comparisons.I live by the Michigan state line.I'm leaning more toward that resonator-for having a better action.I play with my strings as low as they will go,without buzzing.Listened on good monitors,and they all had a different tone.All sounded good to me. Best Regards
Thanks for your feedback ! Appreciate it.
I enjoyed this immensely, to me the national rung out the most. I have a noname brand bellbrass tricone that I am still grasping, I love it though it is a heavy bugger. Your accent is engaging, your playing is faultless & gorgeous. I subscribe.
Thanks again Arthur !
Great demonstration and player. Very good job
I would also like to inform me about the set up of the 4 resonators
@@anekdilos1 Thanks for your feedback ! The four resonators are set up for both slide and fretted playing. The Mule is the lowest with 2mm on the high E at the 12 fret and 2,5mm on the low E. The 3 others are more around 2,5mm on the high and 3mm on the low.
A thick accent but fully understandable to us Americans....
Enjoyed your video very much. Your style of playing was a lot different than I expected for playing a resonator...
You are a gifted player....
I don't own a resonator 'yet' but I expect I will add one within the next year...
Thanks a lot ! If you put your hands on one you'll not regret it.
Great job….. thank you! Your English is much better than my French! Great playing too! I’d pick the National Tricone…
Thanks a lot Lee ! 😊
Gosh, all beautiful instruments beautifully played. How can you choose.
Hard to choose for sure.
Thank you! This was very helpful!
You're welcome 😊
Speaking as an Englishman your language is very good Sir, as is your playing 👍🏻👍🏻
My favourite is the Mule
Thanks a lot ! 😊
Fantastic!!!
Thanks ;)
Your English is excellent.
Thanks 😊
Thank you. This is very helpful!
You're welcome 😊
I am still considering which resonator to purchase and I have watched your "first English speaking video" a third time. You have beautiful guitars and play beautifully!
I honestly think that you communicate very well. Music is a universal language!
I once coached soccer,or football. I speak a little Spanish and had boy on my team who spoke little English. I was driving one amazing young man to a college team and he was concerned about his ability to communicate. I told him my Spanish was poor and no one laughed and he spoke with his feet. I saw him the next summer working in a drive up window in a restaurant. He is doing well now and you are doing way better. You keep doing what you do. I have subscribed
@johnwashburn3793 thanks a lot for your feedback. If you wanna more help to choose your future purchase. Check my new video...czcams.com/video/KloSjZZekF4/video.htmlsi=ftR5a5TiImFggWR_
Dude…you fucking rock! I have a resonator…not like yours…but I love it, and you really do them justice. So, keep up those English speaking videos bro. We are watching; we being English speaking players.
Thanks a lot ! I'm glad you like it.
You are a wonderful,guitarist by the way 😎
Thanks a lot 😊
Excellente vidéo!
Merci 😊
Your English is better than I lot of people in the USA.
Ahah thanks 😊
That was a fantastic review. I wish you had played some slide a bit. But it is what it is. Cary in Tucson
Thanks a lot for your kind words ! I hope I'll see beautiful Arizona one day.
I could listen to this all day 👍
Thanks ;)
Je ne connaissais pas "Mule resophonics", très impressionné ! Et très perturbant cette tricone au look de single cone. Ce sont des 6 pouces aussi ? Comme toujours avec les réso, elles ont toutes un caractère très différent, c'est ce que j'aime. Même si j'ai une préférence pour les sons type National par rapport au spider Dobro. Bravo pour le jeu (et l'anglais ;-) )! Je m'abonne !
Merci beaucoup ! Ce sont bien des 6 pouces dans le tricone Mule. Elles sont toutes différentes et c'est ce qui est génial effectivement.
Very cool, well done, I want one!! Dave.
Never mind! Found it! Matt Eich, Mule Guitars in Saginaw Michigan if anyone else is wondering.
Great video, the Mule sounds the best to my ears and looks awesome. What would you recommend as a first resonator guitar, something that doesn't bust the bank ? I've only ever played electric and whenever I pick up acoustic guitars I tend to have a hard time because of the higher action.
Thanks a lot ! The Gretsch are really great to start. But you'll have logically a higher action than an electric.
I’ve seen some absolutely stunning French resonators. And your English is way better than any of my other languages!
Nice video! My favorite guitar of the shown guitars is the Mule.
I own 4 resos, a singlecone brassbody, a woodbody singlecone and a woodbody tricone, all three made by Jan Liewald of Leewald guitars and a singlecone of Peter Wahl. You should check out the guitars of Leewald guitars!
Thanks ! I've never tried a Leewald but if one day I see one, I'll give it a try. :)
@@benjaminguillet3210 you definitely should!
Your English is good
I really appreciate your fingerpicking strumming jazzy kind of style everyone always plays these with slides 😅
And you like anime a man after my own heart truly
Thanks a lot ! 😊 About anime, my girl friend is responsible for this...
well played! Just curious which string guage you are using :) Just put a set of EJ22's (13-56) on my drobo, and I get the impression that more mass equals more resonator :)
Thanks ! I'm always playing 13/56 too. Perfect gauge for me when you play standard tuning on resos.
You have a fantastic jazz technique. It especially sounded great on your resonators. Resonators are usually played for Bluegrass, country and blues. I don’t get to hear jazz on a resonator much. It’s a myth that resonators are just made for blues and slide.
Thanks a lot ! As you said, resonators can do way more things than people think. 😊
Never forget that original tricones were expensive guitars, mainly used by pros in jazz bands , in the ’30s : no Delta bluesmen could afford a triplate, in those days: a Duolian was, in most cases, out of reach...
That Mule was unmatched.. sadly I cannot afford one.
I understand. That's certainly a budget.
Do you have any set up tips to make a NRP more playable and less struggle like the Mule. this is a great video BTW.
Thanks for your feedback. In fact I don't think I'm struggling a lot on my NRP, but the Mule have a lower action for sure. The action on my NRP tricone is around 3.5mm at the 12th fret on the low E string and 3mm on the high E. The solution if you want a lower action is probably to lower the saddle, but you have to take care of the strings angle on the bridge. A lot of resonator players are doing neck reset to have a proper action. A luthier who knows this kind of instrument will probably help you a lot.
@@benjaminguillet3210 I wasn't suggesting that your NRP sounds like a struggle, mine do a bit, and was looking for some set up tips.
I comprendre you very bien 😁
Great. I have my heart set on a el trovador, however, I’ve not got a chance to play the mule. Have you had experience with the el trovador?
@HaroldHarris I've never had the chance to try an El Trovador but I've always loved this guitar. Mainly because Mike Dowling make it sounds so great.
G'day Mate
Trying to figure out the last guitar you presented. I didn't catch the brand or city but definitely heard it was made in my state of Michigan so if anyone could help me out that would be great. The green antique style, triple cone. Just trying to figure out the brand name. It has a fantastic sound.
such an accent ! I love you a bit
Suce un accent, tu aimes ma b... ?
Salut Benjamin, merci pour la vidéo, elle m'a bien aidé.
Qu'elle type de cône (et chevalet) recommandes tu pour une gratte en bois? Sigle cone? Tricone? Spyder? Biscuit?
Merci
@@wapetom Salut, c'est un choix très personnel. J'irai naturellement vers un singlecone, biscuit donc. Et je le prendrais chez Mike Lewis. Simplement car c'est le meilleur Mike. 😊
what microphone is that? it's so well balanced
It's an Ear Trumpet Lab Myrtle ;)
You are a great player, however why didn't you play slide on them so we could hear the difference between them.
Thanks ! I didn't play slide cause i think we can play a lot of variety of music on resos. But I have a lot of videos playing slide in my channel.
I have planned to bought a resonator, for my recording purposes. For the long time I used my dad old 12-string acoustic for that. He got that at the time of 1960's from Soviet Union, and it was bought by his older brother, who past away last year. To my dad, that guitar was not very good, because my dad is left handed, and guitar was for right handed. So I have been using his guitar for long time. And now I sell it, because it was not very good for my recordings.
Resonators are killer guitars for recording. You won't regret it !
@@benjaminguillet3210 Thanks for advice!! 😉👍
Salut, jolie musique! Connais-tu Lyle Brewer, un autre guitariste auquel ta musique douce et maîtrisée me fait penser?
Merci beaucoup ! Oui je connais Lyle, je le suis sur instagram, j'adore ce qu'il fait. ;)
Comment as tu fait pour obtenir une Mule ? (Sur le site il spécifie qu’il n’envoie pas en Europe.)
Très beau jeu, by the way !
Chears!
Merci ! Elle m'a été offerte par Matt, le boss de chez Mule. En France il faut attendre qu'il ouvre des commandes pour l'internationale. Ça arrive 1/2 fois par an. Il faut être ultra réactif car généralement c'est pour un nombre limité de commande et ça part en 1h.
Merci pour la réponse !
Dirais tu qu’elle a plus ou moins de volume qu’une jazz manouche ? Je recherche une guitare qui projette acoustiquement !
Laquelle de ces quatre guitares à la meilleure projection ?
@@Fenouil2020 elles ont toutes une projection équivalente. Elles projettent un peu plus qu'une manouche mais n'ont sans doute pas le confort d'une manouche. Hormis peut-être la Mule si on lui met un tirant un peu plus faible.
What is the name of the green one ?
Hi, it's a Mule, made in Saginaw Michigan. :)
Ben, if you only had one of these guitars with you for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?
Oh that's a tough question. The NRP tricone is the very first resonator I bought, so I learned a lot on this instrument and its impact on my playing is huge. So I'll probably pick this one. But the others are fantastic too.
By the way, your guitar playing is exceptional!@@benjaminguillet3210
I thought the English was very good, Thanks
Thanks 😊
J'allais me moquer gentilment de ton l'Anglais, et puis tu t'es mis a jouer alors je vais plutot la fermer. Excellente video !
Ahah merci ;)
i like the national the best... but eh, that's life 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂
Le moins qu’on puisse dire est que vous ne faites pas votre marché chez les soldeurs... National, Mule, Mike Lewis... Pas de faute de goût ! Toutes sonnent et sonnent très bien, même si j’ai un gros faible pour la FineResophonics ; mais je suis de parti-pris, étant client de longue date du bonhomme !
J'avoue avoir un faible pour les beaux résonateurs . Mike Lewis fait des instruments magnifiques. J'adore la mienne. C'est un orfèvre. Quand on est en France on a pas vraiment de raison d'aller ailleurs.
@@benjaminguillet3210 Mike vous transforme une citrouille en carrosse : c’est ce qu'il a fait avec mon Dobro 33H de 1990 (pâle copie fin-de-race d’une Style O, achetée chez Quincampoix, à l’époque de ma jeunesse ignorante et désargentée) : sortie de son atelier, elle sonnait presque comme une National de 1936 !... Quant à mon Tricone FineReso Style1 , oh la la...
@@SergeCeyral les tricones de Mike sont des merveilles.

Thanks 😊
eh, they're all good
Please post me re What f your playing!!!PLEASE!🎉

Resonator community is just so cool. I'm thankful for that.
BIT CONE OVER BIT COIN 😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 @2:03
Resos are a best investment than bitcoin... to me ;)
This Brazilian luthier have the best resonator in my opinion. I use this guitar and I know All others youtube.com/@DeltaGuitars
Cool, I've never heard of him unfortunately. The resos looks great. We have the chance to have a lot of fantastic luthiers nowadays.
@@benjaminguillet3210 Yes, and Alexandre uses a technique that others don't use. Even carbon steel is used in their instruments. And the neck woods are.....well Brazil is the country that has the best woods in the world.

It's the guitarist, not the guitar.
Of course, but a great guitar is so much more fun to play.
why play a resonator guitar?
What do you mean ?
@@benjaminguillet3210 I meant to ask, why do you prefer a resonator guitar?
@robertcanedo7607 OK, in fact I don't prefer resonators to regular acoustic guitar. They are just different. Fantastic for slide playing, huge projection, unique sound...
@@benjaminguillet3210 I’m considering owning a resonator. 👍
