      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.

    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.

      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.

      No telling how much or little it's been played. Not every prewar Martin is the best guitar ever but a lightly braced rosewood guitar should explode whether it's 2000 or 120000 simply due to design.

    • @noahaikens2862
      @noahaikens2862 Před 6 lety +11

      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.

    • @marinvojkovic8415

      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

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.

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.
