Marty Music Digging it. Thanks Marty! Love Jamin along with your long intro sets. Thanks for all you do, I've got a set little Taylor GS mini. Hey, can you help us with this beautiful and complex chord progression? It's jono mccleery, this idea of us czcams.com/video/vLnrTS_P3jk/video.html
Humidipak tip: When they dry out, don't throw them away. Put 'em in a Tupperware with a separate vessel filled with distilled water (i.e. don't get the humidpaks wet), and close the Tupperware. Two weeks later....bam! Good as new.
To add to this, you can also buy the same product literally called “humidifier packs”! They have ones that keep humidity at 55% at less than half the cost, and for more than double the quantity
The sound will have become incredibly dull and lifeless.the stringa must be grossly dirty. I change mine every few weeks playing many hours a day though.
Although cutting the strings is certainly faster, I would take the time to take it off in one piece. You had to guess how long the string has to be to get a good amount of windings on the tuner. You ended up with one winding. I once had my guitar set-up by a luthier and he set it up perfectly with the right amount of wraps on each string. Now I take off the old strings and cut the new string to the same length. I end up with a nice clean headstock with the right amount of wraps around each tuning peg.
I live in a slightly humid climate with the humidity ranging from 65-85 outside. I run a humidity controlled dehumidifier which brings the humidity down to 45-55%. I have two sensors to check at all times and alert me when it’s wrong. I don’t use the packs at all, I don’t generally need to add humidity just remove it. Because of this I can keep my guitar out of its case for easy access at anytime.
Similar feeling for Taylor Academy Series and a blowout priced Breedlove Pursuit Exotic Concert E Sitka-Koa. 'Course they were bored this past year and produced the AD12e and GTK-12e at Taylor... buying off the lot after they've been parked for awhile...
My acoustics i tqke care of them as if they were my childs, And i do the same with some electrics, but damn i really keep playing for hours and hours on my les paul and i maanaged to let it age natirally after the years. It really looks beatiful and feels so personal
Acoustic guitar is very hard To please but I love playing acoustic blues. I can jam during 3hours, I just love the song of my acoustic guitar. So that's great that you do this! thanks Marty ! Rock'on!🎸
Great advice Marty! I also take my guitar to my local Luthier for a check once a year. That way he can check for Action/Intonation & Truss Rod adjustment, among other things......... :)
Lol when you said throw it on the ground.. I instantly think about how I step on them randomly because I forget to pick up that one D string / hurts my soul every time
Cool video Marty some good tips. The one thing I would question though is how you wind a new string on. The way you showed requires the string to go round the peg a few times to be secure and even then, unless you've overlapped at some point, it isn't guaranteed not to slip. Dave Doll from Martin Guitars shows a great way to do it, his method needs fewer wraps and is very secure.
If you simply push down on the string you have just cut at the pin you will not need to use the pin remover. The pin will be freed up immediately. Those pin removers as near as I can tell were designed for clumsy people (most of us) to mar the finish of your acoustic when it slips off, which will cause you to hate your life.
DONT USE HUMIDIPAKS IN HIGH ALTITUDE OR DESERT REGIONS!! I’ve had two dry out thinking the humidifier packs were doing their job.. use the Oasis humidifiers on that case
I’ve been wanting to buy a Taylor Acoustic Guitar but worried that I won’t be able to maintain it properly. Can someone clarify it to me. Is it okay if I will put humidipak on the guitar itself then put the guitar in a gig bag? And I will only take off the humidipak when I will use the guitar then I will put it back if I will be storing my guitar again to its gig bag?
Could you please do cliffs of Dover? I really wanna learn the rest of the song but no one else has any high quality tutorials and I really like your style of teaching.
I watched an old lesson from you, how to play The Game Of Thrones Theme Song. I realized you have done everything, only some Megadeth and Pantara is missing. So hehe 😝 ...i would appreciate it, if you make a lesson ...see you in the next video 😜💪 ...great toutorial by the way!
I just got an acoustic today. Very big and heavy... no returns, tho lol. Idk anything about guitars. I'm scared something might happen to the strings, and I won't know what to do.
Hey Marty, love the channel. Been practicing my acoustic life along with you when I have time ☝🏻🎸 . Question for ya and if you had time to even display it is . What’s the difference in the acoustic guitar strings I’m using 80/20 , but seen there’s a lot of different Metals and sizes. Peace ✌️ , and ready been enjoying the quarantine jam sessions
Hey Marty great vids! I'm planning on purchasing a Seagull S6 in the near future and the cost of the original is the same as the acoustic-electric model, so I was wondering if there was any real difference in sound when playing them normally? I don't currently have any need for the electrics, but since there's no price difference, should I just buy the acoustic-electric anyway just in case I have a need for the electrics at some point in the future?
Leave it tuned, there's nothing which can damage your guitar by leaving it tuned. Plus, it's more of a hassle if you detune it nightly and retune in the morning.
Hey Martyr ,hey guess what? I didn’t just find my guitar my guitars found me , I was taking out the trash and really wasn’t paying attention till the last second when I saw a beautiful acoustic on top of the pile l,As I was throwing my trash bag mid-flight I jump up and grab the guitar, Well she was missing strings and the little thin white thingy on top of the bridge that holds the strings in place ,Next I give it a once over and notice the strings are super low much lower than electric,Nothing wrong with her not one dead note she is beautiful,now I will learn how to play grandpa guitar

Don’t use them in high altitude or desert regions. It’s not enough moisture
3:43 7 year old me learned the hard way
What.. I haven't changes my strings since i bought it four years ago.. and I play it at least one hour every day
Same

Any idea where to buy elbow grease? People tell me most stores have it right next to the blinker fluid but I can't find any.
ha ha ha
john next to the long weights...
john just go and ask for a long weight,and see what happens...
opposite the tartan paint.
john FML I looked at your profile pic
Looks like Marty's on the regular reverb payroll these days. Guess we all want a bigger house etc. Good for u chief!

"And just throw it on the ground so I can step on it with all the other legos down there" 😂😂😂 subscribed
Wish I had Martin money. I would love one. :) I have a pretty good...and cheap...Clifton acoustic guitar.
IKR! But I have a 140$ Epiphone sounds just as good as ANY Martin.

Unwinds the cut string and drops it saying, "just throw it down there with all the legos!" 🤣 As a father with lego loving kids, I can relate!
3:43 he did that so casually. I am terrified
I use a moist sponge in a ziploc bag for a humidipak..works wonders and pretty damn cheap too
So close to 1 million!
dude you are everywhere
@@nakon7niket right! I thought I was the only one, this dude comments on everything lmao

2012 I was a dumbass and just picked up a guitar. Now thanks to you I have learned alot of things 6 years later. You truly are a legend

Hey Marty, I've been loving your videos since I started playing guitar. Thanks very much!
ex mechanic here ,I don't have nut sauce but I do have Lucas engine oil treatment just a tiny dab in nut saddles works frigging fantastic
Great advice Marty! I also take my guitar to my local Luthier for a check once a year. That way he can check for Action/Intonation & Truss Rod adjustment, among other things......... :)

Marty: *changes one string
Marty: wait till the VERY END after you've changed ALL THE STRINGS to clip it
Marty: *clips one string he just changed
I always wonder, who are the people who dislike videos?
😁😁😁😁😘
Losers with no lives and want to put other people down to feel better about themselves.
Can I use Murphy oil that I use for my wood floors on a microfiber cloth?
Glad to see your Martin again
“ill just throw that down there so i can step on it with the other legos that are down there” 🤣
Good man Marty for not editing out the peg drop, haha

Good to have you here Marty. i have learned so much from you :)
Great maintenance tips thanks Marty😁
I can't explain how much your videos have helped me.

What about the little screws on the tuning pegs? I noticed some of them are in new loose. How tight should they be?
What an informative video! Not a beginner but have always wanted to play guitar. I feel like now would be a good time to get started
What about oiling the fretboard once or twice per year with lemon oil?
RNArizona..... great advice! I'm not far from AZ and the desert is a big issue for acoustics.
GroovesAndLands You're right, I do that, but forgot to mention it.

Sir should I detune my guitar daily???..like I play everyday I'm a total beginner .....so while sleeping should I leave my guitar tuned or detuned???.
Leave it tuned, there's nothing which can damage your guitar by leaving it tuned. Plus, it's more of a hassle if you detune it nightly and retune in the morning.
Hi Marty. Would you recommend storing the guitar with the string's at full tension or slacken them a bit
Almost at 1 million subs! Great job!
