a few people mentioned this and I think they are correct. based on the fret markings you played the 614 in both segments, It did sound great though, would have liked to hear the difference
Wow Marty. That Taylor 614ce is my dream guitar. Beautiful. I love the sound of it also. Really enjoying hearing you playing the Taylors. Thanks so much. Maybe i will be able to own one some day.
Marty those are some pretty guitars brother, I love me some gear Thursday's, getting to see that hand candy really made my day, made a mediocre day into a nice one thank you sir
LMFAO! I thought something was off, scrolled down and saw this and I was right. wtf? I haven't read anymore comments but I can't wait to read "Oh the first one is better" or "The 814 is much brighter etc."...lol
Saving up my money for the Taylor 814ce already. Perhaps a silly point, but I like the idea that, for a guitar costing thousands of dollars, they managed to put an exotic wood pickguard instead of a piece of plastic. I plan on playing it through my Boogie amp. Bet it will sound sweet. Thanks for these great reviews Marty!
Hey Marty... I think you only played the 614ce. Might be an editing mistake but I noticed you never actually played the 814ce in this video. I noticed by the fretboard inlays.
Hi Marty, great to see you back. I've got a LE Taylor 816ce which I think has great tone and playability and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on an equivalent Martin. I'm thinking of buying one to add to the collection. The other half doesn't know yet so between you and me! Great review on the Taylor's.
Recently purchased an 814ce. Returned it today and ordered the 614ce Builders Edition Torrified Spruce Wild Honey Burst top, maple sides/back. This video confirms my thoughts about Maple. Should be here within a week. Hoping for sweet flame. Wife got the Baby Taylor deal for $100 Fair winds and following seas to all.
Were these "Taylor made" for you Marty? I just can't stop the puns. Great sound and beautiful guitars also. I am left green with envy and overcome by lust, thanks for all the great reviews. They really are helpful in gaining guitar and gear knowledge. Have you ever tried the Fender Bassbreaker? Please demo a Tubescreamer some day and a Blues Driver, gotta love MartyMusic!
Hey Marty isn't the Sitka spruce top on the 614ce baked until done to give the guitar that aged sound. Its call torrified or something lol....... Love"em.... and the new channel!!!!!
I had to upgrade my yamaha To a Taylor. I played the 614 at guitar center, and a few other models. For now Had to settle for The 114ce. Until I can save up and get good enough to deserve one of those!
I think if you keep building they will come. The quality on Act 2 is a step (or 2 or 3 or more) above your previous gig, and the rate at which you're cranking stuff out is incredible--not to diss the older stuff, because much of this comes from experience. Great catalog of lessons already considering you had to start over. Really appreciate it Man!
Marty you would sound good playing a $100 guitar! Both these sound awesome. I own an 06' Taylor 410 model, sounds awesome, always been a fan. I've noticed on the 614ce the older models have a much prettier lighter maple color. Not sure what year this changed or if they still make the lighter color?
I really like the way you play; very melodic, smooth, and flows well; nice to cruise along on mentally. Thanks for the mini concert. :D Do you have an acoustic course? Some of us would be interested...
Hey Marty , Do you think the Taylor 14 series is too good a guitar for an intermediate player. Or is it a case of get the best you can afford regardless of your skill level.
Hey Marty, the new channel is great! I would love to see a tour of your guitar room, maybe focusing on a few of your most sentimental pieces and what they mean to you.
Just personal preference I don't like the 814 in person. The new 414ce rosewood has a fuller and not so shrill sound. I had a 616ce before they changed to the new bracing and brownsugar stain. I ended up selling my 616ce and a 324 which I really liked. I now have a 514ce fmltd. Mahogany is now my preferred tonewood. I will say a few years ago I played a martin hd28 and wish I had bought it. I haven't found another that sounded as good.
I am Canadian, I got mine in the states during the Black Friday sales for $2800. but that was 2 years ago, the dollars isn't as nice as it used to be :/
Hey Marty... You said the 614 has the darker tone. I'm hearing the opposite. It sounds a bit brighter and not as thick in the bass. Both sound good. Wish you'd played the same stuff on both for comparison. But thanks for the review. Love the classic Taylor voicing.
These sound beautiful Marty, I was wondering on an upcoming gear video could we get you changing out strings on one? Maybe some tips for beginners doing their own. Thanks man!
What I remember after playing a Taylor acoustic guitar for the first time was out of any acoustic guitar I have ever played the Taylor acoutics felt/played the most like an electric guitar compared to any other acoustic I have played. Are you sponsored by Taylor? I gotta think the Martin from your father is your favorite guitar though?
This video is 5 years old so I hope by now you have sorted out the fret buzz on these guitars! 😂 Taylors are definitely not strumming guitars in the way that Martins are.
It appears that you only played the 614ce. The reason I say this is that I was looking at the fret board inlays the whole time and they did not change from that of the 614ce. Anyway, cool review!
Hey Marty .dont know if you cn help or not but ive just bought a Taylor 614ce Sunburst model with flared maple it has a plastic button for the strap and pick up i believe they used to be Brass have you any idea what year it was made .cheers thanks for the lessons TC
Taylor is top quality when it comes to acoustics, right up next to Martins. If you ever get a chance to go to Nazareth, Pennsylvania to see the Martin factory I highly recommend. Great cool experience to see how these guitars are made!
@@ralex3697 hey bud why don’t you get off your high horse? Did I say that Taylor or Martins were the best acoustic guitars? All I said was go see the factory if you get a chance. So for now why don’t you stop trolling the UA-cam comments like a lowlife.
Hey Marty great video! What was that blues song you played with the 614? Could you make a tutorial on that or a song similar to that? I really want to get into it especially improvisation!
hey Marty would love to learn a song for my wedding next year. take my hand - Emily hackett. it's a beautiful song and I think if you were to provide a tutorial for this song it would be great
I have a fender with a strat neck on it, its a sonoran California series, it might be over 10 years old i dont know, is it worth anything to a collector or whoever
Hey Marty! Just wanted to know your thoughts on how well higher end acoustic guitars (Taylors, Martins, Matons etc.) age. I guess that's where quality would really show, if it still plays well 5 years on. Thanks! (:
I have a really old (in my opinion)1974 Guild D-35; in mahogany if it is any indicator that wood with age matters, it does,it simply sounds like it has a an old soul if that makes sense. I bought it when I was 12 brand new and it's been with me for all the miles and chapters of my life. (For shits and giggles I worked little jobs for almost a year to bring her home. II wonder how many kids today would even think about doing that.) BTW Marty, my wife says it's good to hear your voice coming out of my computer a few times a week during breakfast again, both she and I are glad you are back, I knew the Schwartz was strong in this one.
Hi Marty , what gauge are your strings ? my 614ce big leaf maple has Elixir nanoweb 12-53 which Taylor recommends but i find them hard to hold down cheers from Scotland U.K
Marty, I love you as a guitar teacher. But anyone who knows you (or who has followed you over the past few years - before you left us hanging without any explanation) knows you are a Martin man when it comes to acoustic guitars. You used to use your father's Martin and after a newer Martin that you had purchased for your live gigs. That, of course, was before Taylor approached you and talked you into using their guitars in your videos (probably with an interesting financial incentive). I can't say that I blame you for accepting, but I must admit it hurts seeing you pretend to love these guitars that don't even come close to a Martin in sound. But, still, keep up the good work with your videos. Sincerely.
I love My old Martin from 1976 and I cherish it. I also feel both Martin and Taylor make great guitars. Taylor is local to me and I truly love what they are doing, so it's quite easy for me to use their guitars. They haven't paid me a cent to use them. With full transparency, Taylor has been a loyal supporter and friend of mine with no strings attached (and no financial gain). I have never talked to anyone from Martin, but I do love their product as well. I'm not a paid endorser nor am I faking anything. I love my fenders and gibsons, my taylors are really great, and of course, I love and cherish my vintage Martin.
a few people mentioned this and I think they are correct. based on the fret markings you played the 614 in both segments, It did sound great though, would have liked to hear the difference
Wow Marty. That Taylor 614ce is my dream guitar. Beautiful. I love the sound of it also. Really enjoying hearing you playing the Taylors. Thanks so much. Maybe i will be able to own one some day.
Thanks so much Paul!
Great to see your new channel. Inspirational as always.....................and I've only been playing guitar for 50 years!! (Liverpool, UK)
Thanks for supporting me here! All my best!
I hope Marty is rich and famous. He is of the best I have ever heard. Thank you for your contribution!
Marty those are some pretty guitars brother, I love me some gear Thursday's, getting to see that hand candy really made my day, made a mediocre day into a nice one thank you sir
I really appreciate that Joe!
Marty you goofball, you used the 614 in both sets lol! It still sounded great. Not trying to harass ya, just thought it was funny. ;-)
Tom Bicandi agree
We can see that by the inlay in the fretboard good catch
LMFAO! I thought something was off, scrolled down and saw this and I was right. wtf? I haven't read anymore comments but I can't wait to read "Oh the first one is better" or "The 814 is much brighter etc."...lol

dude you played 614 in both times
Hey Marty... I think you only played the 614ce. Might be an editing mistake but I noticed you never actually played the 814ce in this video. I noticed by the fretboard inlays.
you are correct, there is another video just dedicated to the 814ce under the "Gear Reviews" playlist here at "MartyMusic" Thanks for the support!
Hi Marty, great to see you back. I've got a LE Taylor 816ce which I think has great tone and playability and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on an equivalent Martin. I'm thinking of buying one to add to the collection. The other half doesn't know yet so between you and me! Great review on the Taylor's.
I love the classic Martin D28
Even on video, you can hear the difference in sound. Hey Marty what would be a good "cheaper" Taylor? Also, what strings do you use?
Thanks !
Recently purchased an 814ce. Returned it today and ordered the 614ce Builders Edition Torrified Spruce Wild Honey Burst top, maple sides/back. This video confirms my thoughts about Maple. Should be here within a week. Hoping for sweet flame. Wife got the Baby Taylor deal for $100
Fair winds and following seas to all.
They sounded the same! Amazing!!!!

Hey Marty isn't the Sitka spruce top on the 614ce baked until done to give the guitar that aged sound. Its call torrified or something lol....... Love"em.... and the new channel!!!!!
I have a 1976 MartinD35 , the 816 sound less tiny, more full
tough to tell the difference , thinking about picking up a maple taylor 610 or 614
Thanks for the great review and your channel is awesome!!! I just bought a Taylor 616ce and I love it 😎
amazing work sir
I had to upgrade my yamaha To a Taylor. I played the 614 at guitar center, and a few other models. For now Had to settle for The 114ce. Until I can save up and get good enough to deserve one of those!
ah, they really do make great playing guitars!
I think there is a mistake. the 614ce was played both times. I noticed the inlays.
I have the 814ce i also have the 914ce. Love them both.. I may need to get a 614ce Like how is sounds.. Thanks for showing it!!
Nice! Thanks for the support!
This is very well-done. You definitely deserve more subs!! Keep making vids man!!
Thanks Carter! More BRAND NEW VIDEOS on the way right here!
I think if you keep building they will come. The quality on Act 2 is a step (or 2 or 3 or more) above your previous gig, and the rate at which you're cranking stuff out is incredible--not to diss the older stuff, because much of this comes from experience.

Nice Taylor models Marty. Looking forward to hearing the 12 string as I am looking to get one soon. Cheers for your help and support!
Thanks CJ! I'll be covering that soon! Stay tuned right here and thanks for supporting "MartyMusic"
Marty you would sound good playing a $100 guitar! Both these sound awesome. I own an 06' Taylor 410 model, sounds awesome, always been a fan. I've noticed on the 614ce the older models have a much prettier lighter maple color. Not sure what year this changed or if they still make the lighter color?
I was just in San Diego last week, what a cool town. So does the Taylor 614 have lower action than most of the Martin guitars?
Awesome high quality video!!! Editing is perfect keep it up 😀
ha! I really appreciate that Dylan! Thanks so much for supporting me right here at "MartyMusci" - more NEW videos on the way!
I really like the way you play; very melodic, smooth, and flows well; nice to cruise along on mentally. Thanks for the mini concert. :D Do you have an acoustic course? Some of us would be interested...
Nice. I've been thinking of looking into a Taylor, as I need an acoustic. This video is right on time, Marty. Nice playing as well!
Hey thanks so much for supporting me here at "martyMusic" my man Doug!!!
Absolutely, Marty. Thanks for all the lessons. You're doing great work!
Cool guitars and sound.
Great vid I love the rosewood look
Thanks!
Hey marty! Do you mind doing a lesson on the fingerpicking on the 614ce? it sounded beautiful!
Your right he did play the 614 in both segments.
excellent
Hey Marty , Do you think the Taylor 14 series is too good a guitar for an intermediate player. Or is it a case of get the best you can afford regardless of your skill level.
I have a Faith Hi Gloss , same tone woods as the 814, I think they sound similar.
Hey Marty, the new channel is great! I would love to see a tour of your guitar room, maybe focusing on a few of your most sentimental pieces and what they mean to you.
Check out my Saturday Facebook LiveStreams, the ep from 9/9/16 I do just that. facebook.com/MartySchwartzofficial/videos
Hi it may be a difficult question to answer but which of the 2 guitars do you prefer and why?
The 614 has a TORRIFIED sitka spruce top, whereas the 814 is not TORRIFIED.
can you plz make a lesson on devil on my shoulder from bilky talent
Marty, what's your opinion of short scale guitars?
Marty, am I crazy or did you not play the 814? It looks like you played the 614 for both segments.
Hey kurt! I'm going to follow up with just a demo of the 814ce, thanks of the head's up!
Is it just me or do I see you playing the 614 in both segments?
I might've messed it up.
I thought maybe it was a contest to see if anyone noticed. Do I win a new Taylor? 😃
You should check out some Needtobreathe, they are a really good rock band!
Let's hear what the pickup sounds like
The 814ce is over $5000 in Canada, I'm going to have to save up a while for one of those.
Sounds so good!
In Toronto it costs 4600 bro)
+Andrew Petrenko Plus $600 tax = $5200. Cheers.
Just personal preference I don't like the 814 in person. The new 414ce rosewood has a fuller and not so shrill sound. I had a 616ce before they changed to the new bracing and brownsugar stain. I ended up selling my 616ce and a 324 which I really liked. I now have a 514ce fmltd. Mahogany is now my preferred tonewood. I will say a few years ago I played a martin hd28 and wish I had bought it. I haven't found another that sounded as good.
I am Canadian, I got mine in the states during the Black Friday sales for $2800. but that was 2 years ago, the dollars isn't as nice as it used to be :/
Live long and prosper
Thanks Marty. I like the 414CE better than both of them. To each there own. That’s why they make different models.
Have you done a lesson for what you play at 7:40 ? I would love to learn that. Awesome playing !!!
boogie blues? Definitely check out my "Pride and Joy" lesson here at "MartyMusic" it will help for sure!!!
Yo Marty! Just brought home my 414ce-SLTD.... First Taylor, they're amazing!!
That's awesome, congratulations!
I stupid love the 814ce all of it...
Hey Marty... You said the 614 has the darker tone. I'm hearing the opposite. It sounds a bit brighter and not as thick in the bass. Both sound good. Wish you'd played the same stuff on both for comparison. But thanks for the review. Love the classic Taylor voicing.
Ya you could be right.
Kinda cool just watching you free jam like that. You need a few videos where you free jam
very kind of you Chris! Thanks for supporting me here at MartyMusic brother!
These sound beautiful Marty, I was wondering on an upcoming gear video could we get you changing out strings on one? Maybe some tips for beginners doing their own. Thanks man!
Thanks Tim!!!

whats your opinion on a seagull, Marty I heard there supposed to sound really good
Hi! Was wondering if you could do a tutorial about the man who can't be moved plss :)
This video is 5 years old so I hope by now you have sorted out the fret buzz on these guitars! 😂 Taylors are definitely not strumming guitars in the way that Martins are.

There's a follow up video on the 814 right here at "MartyMusic" thanks for watching and supporting Patrick!
Thanks Marty. I enjoy watching your no nonsense approach.
Hey Marty .dont know if you cn help or not but ive just bought a Taylor 614ce Sunburst model with flared maple it has a plastic button for the strap and pick up i believe they used to be Brass have you any idea what year it was made .cheers thanks for the lessons TC

Hate to burst your bubble but there are a lot of better guitars out there.

Taylor guitars are the best.PERIOD

i have 314 ce and i want a upgrate to diffrent model but really interest 814 ce
I have a fender with a strat neck on it, its a sonoran California series, it might be over 10 years old i dont know, is it worth anything to a collector or whoever
Hey Marty! Just wanted to know your thoughts on how well higher end acoustic guitars (Taylors, Martins, Matons etc.) age. I guess that's where quality would really show, if it still plays well 5 years on.

The hope is that the high quality wood and craftsmanship makes the guitar sound better with time!

Heyy Martyz please upload acoustic guitar tutorial of "Between the rain drops by Lifehouse"
What ever happened to your real old martin? The one your dad gave ya? I loved the tone of that guitar
Thanks I still have it.
Hi can you please tell me what kind of strings do you use on the 614CE taylor? many thanks in advance for ur answer
Hey Marty! Can you do strings for next weeks thursday gear video?
Sorry Mr.......what still string in use guitar taylor .....and size...???....thanks..🙏
that stuff you played at first with 814 . . . was that anything in particular? sounded nice
I sounded "inspired by" a mash-up of various classic rock standards, most notably Zeppelin.
Did you actually buy any of these guitars yourself? Why have very similar guitars from the same manufacturer?
Hey Marty, pretty sure you're still playing the 614ce at the end instead of the 814ce. Take a look at the inlays.
that's what I'm hearing. I need to make a follow up video. sorry about that.
You the man Marty! I've learned many songs from you. Keep up the good work!
Marty, do you tap your foot while playing?
for sure
Which microphone ?
Do I hear an over the hills and far away lesson in the future?
I have it here at "martyMusic" Reiley. search under "videos" thanks
Great, I love that song. I love your videos, and thanks for the reply!
I think you played the 614ce twice by mistake?
would you be willing to do a tutorial on Your Sweet Touch by Bahamas,
What happened to you 12 string acoustic ?
614 CE
prize please?
sir please make a tutorial of in my place - coldplay sir please
What gauge strings are you using?
LOL Marty, you played the 614ce twice on both segments
Hi Marty I also play a Taylor, what strings do you have on your guitars?
Hey Mike, I usually use "DR" strings.
Hi Marty , what gauge are your strings ? my 614ce big leaf maple has Elixir nanoweb 12-53 which Taylor recommends but i find them hard to hold down cheers from Scotland U.K
Ziggy Stardust! :o
nice axes man!
Thanks so much Matthew!!! Stay tuned right here at "MartyMusic" for brand new videos every week!!!
What's the song you're playing in the beggining? I remember watching a lesson on it but I can't recollect the name.
led zeppelin, over the hills and far away
Marty Music
Thanks!
Torrified Sitka spruce top I got it right LOL
snuff by slipknot please!
hey marty, why not make a vid about your Martins :)
Hey Tony, I love my vintage Martin and I will make a video for sure on it. I sold my newer Martin since I'm rocking my new Taylors now.
Слышно одно дребежание по струнам, не думал что так изуродует эти легендарные гитары
Hey Marty, can you please do a lesson on Shawn Mendes treat you better
Marty please try a Breedlove one day.
Ha, I reckon you really like the 614, huh?
For some reasons sounds for me are really close… maybe i have not achieved the level yet 😔
Marty, I love you as a guitar teacher. But anyone who knows
you (or who has followed you over the past few years - before you left us
hanging without any explanation) knows you are a Martin man when it comes to

Hey Frank, feel free to PM me.
Hey Marty could you do Hardwired by Metallica please? Thanks
That's an awesome tune!
Yea i absolutely love that song haha
Nice guitars but also kind of expensive
The 614ce wins!!! (apparently)
