Mary Spender you look like a hotter Emma wattson
Last night I had a dream. I played what I’d call the best guitar ever. It was black and had an odd design like this, only with a compressible/foldable guitar neck. Weird I know. Then I check UA-cam and I see this. 😳
Hi did you get the 36in one or the 41???
speech your gay woman............................
Mad skills
My mind was totally blown when the acoustic guitar came with built in effects.
a few companies are doing this now, yamaha for example.
Yeah same! I realllly need this guitar in my life
This is an example of companies replicating the Tonewood Amp with it already built into the guitar. If you haven't heard about it, you should check it out.
@@allwegot2373 I think this is cool, but having the Tonewood is so much better then this. Much more control over reverb actions, diff types of verb, delay , wah, chourus or distortion, leslie, and tremolo... all while being able to D.I. out of, and having individual DI settings... Not to mention, you actually get to play a REALLY nice guitar with it. Don't mistake this, I DO think the guitar is super cool, but relegated to a 'travel' guitar since it's small and durable.
@@DIRT2021 I agree.
The soundhole looks like a giant USB Type-C port...
Usb type z
I'm back in the USSR
You must be Russian...
Yes, I'm glad you mentioned it, sir, we did include it in the design in order to be user friendly towards people of ag... more... experience.
Can’t unsee that
If Batman had a guitar, that would be the one.
Except that the hole would be shape like a bat
I reckon he's play a Bc rich
Bats dosent need a guitar , he has voice .
The stronger/harder the material used to build an acoustic instrument, the better it will resonate and typically sound too. When Stradivarius was making his famous violins 300 some years ago, the world was going though what was called the "little ice age". It was so cold on several years the River Thames froze so thick Londoners would have a winter fair/festival with huge crowds on the river complete with shops, pubs and even fair rides. That long period of bitter cold made all the trees back then grow VERY slowly with incredibly tight growth rings and wood grain, making the wood much more dense and hard helping those violins sound even more amazing.
Thanks for sharing this most interesting story my friend! 😊🌎♥️
Science does not support this. Sounds cutesy, but rings hollow.
@@guckertott which part, the ice age or that dense material creates better acoustics?
@@macgyver5108 To buy into your theory you have to believe the following: 1)that there was a mini ice age during the 30 to 50 year period before Antonio began building producing his instruments; 2) that trees in this vicinity were affected by mini ice age and resultingly had a slower growth rate 3) That the slower growth rate resulted in denser wood, 4) that Antonio sourced his lumber from those trees 5) and that the denser wood is responsible for the superb sound of his instruments. That's what we in the science field call theory stacking.
@@guckertott 1: Stradivarius examples were made starting in the 1680s, and his "Long Pattern" from 1690 to 1700... the "little ice age" started around 1450-1500 at the _latest_ and lasted into the 1800's. If your math sucks, that's almost 190 _years_ before he even got started, last I checked Spruce trees typically don't live that long Archimedes.
2: WHY would he use _Spruce_ that grew in Italy? Wait do Spruce even GROW in Italy??? And why would a good Luthier ("violin maker" for the lay...) source the "right wood" to make a "competitive" violin and the _best wood_ like _Alpine Spruce_ to make a masterpiece from a tree that doesn't even grow in ITALY???
3: slow growing trees equals limited growth and more density, see your mirror for a pictorial example.
4: see 2
5: Google it... YT hates people posting hyperlinks to prove things. There's diver's that ply the depths of the Great Lakes between the US and Canada LOOKING for these dense growth ring old growth logs that sank 300 some years ago on their way to old sawmills, they charge an astronomical price per square "cubic inch" for that old wood. Again, Google why you make subwoofer boxes out of dense MDF vs cardboard.
I have no idea why youtube recommended this to me or why I actually clicked on it... but thank you indeed.
This video is an ad for the guitar, it's a 13 minute commercial. The guitar company paid to have it promoted in people's recommendations. See the "#ad" above the video title?
same. thanks
probably you looked at some frogleaps studio and she is in one of them :)
Dude same, I’m so happy I found this.
Steve A it’s a great guitar
Imagine the dude who tries to impress her with his guitar skills
I don't know. Is that dude Neil Young? lol
this is why I always play the saw for chicks
fuck that, it's 2020, she'd probably be the one playing for him
#getmoregirlstoplayinstrumentsforguys
You mean like Yngwie Malmsteen?
How many times will this comment be used Jesus
The carbon fibre guitar sounds great....but I think a large part of that is the person who is playing. You make it sound fantastic! Glad I found this channel.
I love the way you’re responding to this guitar. Spontaneous and genuine, as your mind imagines what you could do with those amazing sounds. It is a pretty incredible guitar. And you’re the right person to showcase its tonal potential. Thanks for the cool vid.
Never seen this channel, never played guitar, never been into guitars, but for some reason, I watched the whole video and enjoyed it haha
It’s that f*cking UA-cam algorithm
She is as smoking hot as the guitar
Same here
You're not alone :-)
Same worth every minute

Hahahaha
Haha lol 😂
Yeahhh hahaha
Actually had to go back to video but then lol
Spine Craft good joke Patric Bateman
Gotta say, seeing the guitar was great but seeing the delight on your face was just as good.
Heard you married that guy's dad. Congratulations!
Lol what?
@@5urg3x Value Select made a song called "will you marry my dad" over her playing this guitar and she said yes

"why, you're phone is at 89%"
"nah mate, it need it to charge my guitar"
Lmao :)

I have fishman fluence pickups and a battery pack in one of my strats, so yeah I actually have to charge my guitar hahahahaha
'It looks expensive'
Not to worry though, Mary's a Spender
😂
@l ll l l lll lll l l ll l guess thats proof that AI is advancing.
Stumbled here by accident, didn't get the joke. Finally being so intrigued I inquired who it was after reading some comments.... Had to come back to honor this great dad joke!
Amazing. Just wonderful.
Lol
I really enjoyed the pieces you played on this guitar with the reverb. Soooo good!
i honestly did not come here for the guitar. i came here to see her play the guitar so freaking beautifully
that's true. Also I wonder if she can play Enya NEXG which is also a carbon fiber guitar.
Finally...an acoustic guitar that won't eat your pick. And even if it does, all you have to do is tilt it so that the pick goes to the sound hole's corner. No more shaking it until the pick ends up at the center!
Amen to that :3
Ha-Ha! 😆
But isn't that just part of the entertainment process? 😂
Just super glue the plectrum to your hand. Easy fix
Happens to me all the time!!!
Tried to motivate my daughter (5years old) to learn an instrument.
Showed several videos with different instruments to her. But it was your video which convinced her the most.
She absolutely wants to learn to play guitar. 🙂
If that's the case, check Miumiu Guitargirl 😊
What ??? She only plays some chords... You want to show her real guitar hero show her Richie kotzen!!!
Have you (and her) considered lesser known instruments? I play the Kravik lyre, and the hurdy gurdy is great for inspiring new people because its spnonteresting and unique.
As someone who was convinced (more like forced) by my parents to play an instrument, if she ends up wanting to stop, *let her*. Please. I am horribly depressed specifically because of being forced to play an instrument that I hate for 9 years. And don't try to force hour long practices on her. If she enjoys the instrument she will practice well and get better on her own, forcing her to practice endlessly so that she's a child prodigy makes playing the instrument a chore and tells her that you don't actually want her to play the instrument for anything but your amusement and so you can use her talent for your own self esteem boost. Thank you :)
Sincerely,
An experienced depressed person.
Yvette Young is another great female musician to check out :)
Tried one today. The sound and feel put me almost in a meditative state of mind. I usually find steelstringed guitars’ string tension hard on my fingers, but this one was very comfortable for my dry, semi-old fingers. Money will be steered in this direction, when it (the money🔭) shows up.
I loved watching your facial expressions when it responded to your touch. I could see your excitement and pleasure as you tried everything out and experienced the response of the guitar. Now I want one. Thanks. ❤
I really like that you played the guitar for just as much or more than you talked about it. The way you play is really nice to listen to. Thank you.
Damn... Was randomly suggested to this and might actually get one in the future
Same dude,it's so good!!!
"Randomly"
@@TheDoom3killer ?
UA-cam is known for throwing random shit at you in suggestions/recommendations
If you do get a mcpherson. Far better guitar
@@EnormousDaisey77 I'll look into it
Edit: so... Took just a quick look and I'm already in the no's. Could be a much better guitar, for all I know.. but, not spending that much on one. Tad too expensive. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Fascinating! Thank you for demonstrating it!
I would definitely buy a full instrumental acoustic album if you made one.
Wow. I clicked because of the carbon fiber. Then I stayed for the sound.
When she gets all giddy because she just found a "new toy" to play with was just too adorable. 😊
I believe it is referred to as a “Tool” to better your profession
7:41 The look on your face when you discovered that sound is priceless
02:51-04:23 And that melody? It sounds simple and sweet but honestly it is beautiful!!!
Someone tell me toooo

Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? She was authentic, honest, and didn't sound like a commercial.
some people supports Trump.. so I expect stupidity from humans
@@manoelramon8283 what a stupid response
@@manoelramon8283 the fact, that you think trump is evil, doesn't mean he actually is
My guess would be giving a thumbs down to the frequent ADS which disrupt the video. She made a good vid but commercials every 2 1/2 minutes keep people from enjoying it. Like an unexpected poke in the eye just when you're getting into it!
Maybe becoz it Isn't affordable for everyone
Whoa, it sounds surprisingly warm for such an unusual material.
It really does. It makes me smile listening to it in person. Even though I only meant to check it out at the store, I ended up buying.
@@mianh6119 how do you like it after a year?
That looks so neat! Love the affects. Thank you for sharing
Wow.. just amazing.. the sound of the guitar and the one who's playing it. I love it!!!

5:45 That's so pure, and I know that feeling.
I should really play my guitar again.

I would love to just have you playing this guitar in this style, its so soothing and enjoyable!
Yup. I will never forget the first time I played a carbon guitar. It sounded like a cross between a piano and a hammer dulcimer. And I loved it!

7:06 I could listen to this piece all day, it sounds so soothing and peaceful. That little trick with the delay at 7:38 was fantastic, it really shows your musicality.
I don't actually know if this is just an improvisation but if it's a song I need to know the name please!
@Jonata the trick Mike is reffering to is that she's playing with the delay in a way that sounds meaningful
It's one of those perfect pieces of guitar music which (for me) sounds happy but makes me feel sad... but weirdly in kind of a good way... and it distinctly makes me think of a beach atmosphere. Mary, if you haven't turned this piece into a full song yet, you absolutely need too!
I was wondering what that song was but it got hijacked in a hillarious meme.
What is this song?!
it's nice for sure thanks for the demo
this is amazing! I'm doing a cycling music tour in 2022 and am a) concerned about the weight of my acoustic in a hard-shell, the weather change impacts and b) the resilience of the instrument....I was looking at the yamaha silent guitar as an option but I love that this is fully acoustic. Thanks for making this! Got me thinking now....
Looks like Christmas came early for Mary.

That delay function is amazing! Love the piece you played as well 👌🏻
I like it also which reminds me Enya NEXG has the same sound effect onboard.
Revolutionary ! I don't play guitar (used to play pipe organ 5 years ago) but I truly appreciate the versatility of this guitar!

@@billray1785 My bad coz James brown is my idol. And you know what is iconic song is....😎😎😁
I like what they did with the sound hole. It reminds me of something I read about violins, that you get more power out of the instrument by increasing the perimeter of the sound hole, but you also get more power if you can keep a larger surface area on the face of the instrument. A longer, skinnier sound hole maximizes both of those things. Finally, putting it where they did keeps your hand from blocking it, so you'll always get full sound when you're playing acoustic.
How come I’ve only just discovered your channel? Awesome 👏🏼 🙌🏼🇬🇧🎸
i have never seen such a beautifull guitar , it looks like modern but at the same time classy and timeless
Me: this is badass I want one
*Checks Price*
Bank account: you thought
I feel you
For an accoustic/electric it's really not bad. Amazon has them for $700, which is a relative bargain compared to what you can spend on new guitars that don't have a lot of the perks that this does.
@@Hickeroar Didn't say it was expensive, but it still costs a lot of money I don't have.
@@zaanredelinghuys191 Ah, fair enough.
Living in a place where the average salary is 350 usd I would say 800 bucks is a pretty good price for this awesome guitar
I could watch you noodling around on that guitar all day, sounds amazing with your style!
Thought it looked and sounded great! Warm and bright and very articulate. Excellent video Mary.
The picking is really great!
“It looks expensive”

@@andreeight5 on wish
Not saying its much but thats kinda the standard for guitars (and instruments alike)

Honestly though, that's pretty affordable when it comes to quality guitars.
I love it. Word of warning though: there are a lot of copies on Amazon already. They may be fine but... Well, take care of them pennies.
Please tell me what exact brand is this one that you play so beautifully. Thank you
Carbon is always pricy maybe they are not full carbon but they put fiberglass too to save some on material.

around 7:40 i really like how the effects altered the sound. i'm new to playing and it was cool to watch things build upon each other.
That was extremely entertaining! Thank you for this video.
The music at the end was great, wish there was a 10 hour loop on this guitar, sounds remarkable
The look of absolute joy when you tried out the delay made my day 😁 Awesome 👏👏
I love 7:01 - 8:15. Very calming. Well done
Nice sound in Acoustic. Nice crisp sound with the power on so to speak. Yes love the matte black.
I'm very, very impressed by how it sounds. Kind of mind-blowing actually! Love it.
This is the first carbon fiber guitar I've heard that I actually enjoy the sound of. Nice! And as far as the pricing of instruments go, I was surprised at how low this costs.
Love your finess 💙
So amazing, the Sound and the effects
I could listen to you play that thing all day.
OMG, it looks so light and smooth, I wanna try it!!!
I just bought one of these (used). This video helped me learn what it can do. My wife and I are full time traveling musicians. This will definitely add to our shows.
Such precision ! Beautiful
I bought one after watching ths video. Ive had it for quite a while now. I never pick up my Martin, or my Rickenbacer. It is always "right there" When I hear a song and I wanna fiure it out" or play along I grab the Lava. So its funny looking. WHo aint? I had gotten burnt out on guitar. It was stale. I have been playing since 65. Yes I should be bettter. But this Lava takes me back to when It was New and Fun. Yes FUN. Its always fun. Good video Mary.
Damn thats pretty cool to hear
I am there at the playing for ages but not grtting anywhere. Looking to try these out fingers crossed. That said I have gone back to trying to record in cubase pro and using You Tube came across various videos that got me fired upa gain..
...
Have u put bronze acoustic strings on it or just sterl electric strings. Wondering if acoustic bronze would work or how they would sound.
@@danielrains2055 She has on bronze in the video, so I am assuming they work on it quite well lol.
Does the built-in microphone pick up body sounds like taps and slaps? I like to add bits of guitar percussion when looping.
I love seeing people passionate by playing music. The face when playing is just the happiest. 😎
I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing guitar ; you have me wanting one just for what it can do both in acoustic mode and with all the built in effects . Absolutely a must have !
I like that guitar very much which also reminds me another guitar called NEXG produced by Enya, it's also very cool and has that sound effect!!
Loved the pieces that you played and the guitar sounds awesome! Very surprised for CF.
It would seem the world is ending but listening to you play...it’s so good and relaxing. In this moment it feels like all is well.
Cool guitar also ; )
Several years ago I had access to a carbon fiber guitar for about
a week and spent a lot of time playing it. As the week progressed I spent more and more time
playing it, to the point where in the morning it was the first thing I did - grab the guitar. Toward
the end, knowing my time with it was short, I spent most of the day playing it.
Foremost: This guitar had balance across the strings and up the neck unlike
any guitar I've ever played. Nothing else is even close in my experience. Not
one wolf tone/bad note anywhere on the neck. Perfect action. The balance
causes each note in a chord, say a four-note jazz chord, to really stand out.
Equally as impressive was the sustain. This guitar sang.
The tone and loudness were impressive. You could push it and it still sounded beautiful.
I have played many acoustic guitars from low end to high end and almost none could equal
this guitar. Definitely none could equal its even tone and sustain throughout the range.
Another interesting thing about carbon fiber guitars, is that people will push back on you,
people who have never even played one! But that is human nature, ain't it?
To all you pickers out there, especially acoustic pickers, I'd recommend trying out
this type of guitar.
I believe the guitar was a Composite Acoustics Legacy model. I'll affirm and get back to
you. Thanks for the review!
I'm an acoustic fingerpicker, and I tell you that I could never play Country Blues on a carbon fiber guitar, no matter how "good" it would sound.
Carbon fiber is a thing, WOOD is a completely different thing. It is a matter of "soul", and not of loudness, tone, sustain, etc., if you understand me.
There will never be comparison at all.
Try and play "John Henry" on a carbon fiber guitar...
ua-cam.com/video/qNmehE3h5Uw/v-deo.html
@@andsalomoni I think this mentality is really pretentious and doesn't hold water. If she played this exact song on this guitar, it would sound just as good. I won't argue that the type of material you play on impacts sound. I will argue that it's a bit disingenuous to say "there's no comparison at all." It's just two different sounds. What if someone preferred carbon fiber over wood? How would you argue with them my dude? You can't, because it's subjective anyways. You're welcome to your opinion but that's all it is.
@@joshuabuchanan9106 I never said that it is not subjective. I said that it is a matter of "soul". I can easily admit that a carbon fiber guitar has a more balanced and consistent sound, more sustain, etc. but I could not feel good playing "John Henry" or "Shake That Thing" on a carbon fiber guitar. It is the same difference as between a woman and a "Real Doll". "There is no comparison at all !"
You’re amazing!!!❤❤❤
You and the guitar look made for each other! Awesome!

The 1975 - If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)
Mary you just killed in on this guitar, the sound you made was so soothing and dreamy, love listening to you.
Thanks for introducing me to my next guitar, Mary. WOW!
I've watched this video multiple times now, and it almost - comes within a razor's edge - persuades me to spend the money to get one. For an inept hobby guitarist, it would be hugely expensive, but "small," "light," "carbon fiber," "built-in FX" are all magical terms. Then add that there are common effects built right into it… well… it's hard to resist.
"It looks expensive." Checks amazon. Yes.
It's really not bad, considering a top-of-the-line Martin or Taylor starts at $4K, depending on specs.
It's $800. That's extremely affordable as far as quality guitars go, especially for something unique like this. It's about as much as a mid-range Epiphone or Fender Stratocaster.
If you're seriously looking to purchase a nice guitar but you're also on a budget, then you're probably looking to spend somewhere between $500-$1000. Of course you can go cheaper or more expensive, but that price range is pretty typical.
@Auracle its 800 that price is for the uke version
I believe she's playing the small version which when I looked online is roughly 60 dollars
@Auracle where are you seeing it for that price?
Such a great product, well thought out and very well executed. Really nice out of the box thinking. Also, it is so relaxing and enjoyable hearing you play and experiment with it :)
An awesome guitar! The sounds you can get from the effects is amazing. I think you found your travel guitar.
