1938 Martin D-18 - Played By Carl Miner
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2020
- The Martin D-18 stands as an American guitar icon. It is the epitome of the timeless Martin sound that has been heard on records throughout the decades and played by legends across generations. Few guitar designs have ever perfected the simplicity in construction of a pre-war Martin D-18 of this era.
Its solid Mahogany back and sides, and mortise and tenon neck joint, paired with an Adirondack spruce top and forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, give the 1938 D-18 its timeless tone and projection. The 1938 D-18’s “C” neck shape with its subtle “V” profile, and its 1 3/4” nut width, create a perfect combination of comfort and playability. These features come together in concert to create the instrument that has defined one of the most distinctive acoustic guitar sounds in history.

The guitar is marvelous but the playing by Carl Miner is just mindblowing...what a talented musician.
His phrasing and evenness in playing is impeccable. Incredibly refined. That polish is what makes a professional, not crazy fast runs or flashy sounding licks. It's harder and requires more practice, and is way more impressive.
@luckyjinxer I was going to say the same thing as you, not as elegantly tho! I am not a musician, but I play guitar at home for myself, and it seems he plays these simple chords so beautifully and tastefully. Impeccable control and accuracy of pick hand to hut only the notes he wants!
beautiful indeed
Carl has become one of my favorite guitarists of any genre. Love it.
hes a studio player. probably heard his work through multiple genres and didn't even realize it
Yea. He’s pretty great. I could listen to his playing for hours.
Same here
It's nice to see other people out here that appreciate his understated talent
Every time one of these videos pops up and I’m not looking:
Damn, that’s the nicest guitar I’ve ever heard in my life!
… Oh, it’s just Carl again.
This might be my favorite acoustic tone I’ve ever heard. Masterfully played as well, of course.
the best sounding guitar on the internet
Guitarist
I'm so happy to be here before the Mahogany vs Rosewood war ensues. IMHO, through my excellent quality DAC, amp and headphones, that may have been the best sounding guitar I've ever heard. The player really found it's voice.
Greatness is greatness...no matter the wood. Every guitarist would kill to sound this good. You have a great point though, Gary. We don't need any wood wars or any other armchair guitar picking what ifs....this is greatness in the extreme. Great post and thank you, Gary.
Carl is LEGEND.
I have a 39 D-18 and it sounds just exactly like this one. I don't think Martin ever made any guitars that sound as good.
I wish the current D-18s were made with Adirondack, this wood combination is one of the best.
completely agree...
I've played and heard so many acoustic guitars. This may be the best one I've ever laid ears too. Incredible.
Some people can draw more sound from a guitar than others. This guy can really make them sing.
All it takes is a ton of effort 😉
I watch this video at least a couple times a week. The song is very soothing and sounds similar to The Stable Song by Gregory Alan Isakov.
Yes, fully agree, I hear The Stable Song in this demo as well.
I watch all of the videos of Carl playing incredible guitars. This is the sweetest sounding guitar of them all, by a long shot. From the golden age of Martin. Wow - magnificent!
Few guitars are as capable in rendering the warmth, recognition, sustain and the sheer joy of a Martin D-18. Of course Carl Miner is superb and has become a TNAG favorite.
Carl is super human but this might be the sweetest sounding acoustic I’ve ever heard.
Soul cleansing restful elegance. Thank you Carl Miner.
I’ve got a 1940 D-18 without exception the best sounding guitar I have ever played in my fifty five years of playing guitar. You cannot beat the pre-war D-18’s. 😊
How much $ did that bad boy set you back?
Juat amazing sound, both guitar and player. Carl somehow intuits just the right thing to play to extract the true voice of any guitar. That guitar has the sound I would imagine an old soul guitar would have. Beautiful.
I actually taught myself two years ago, so many breakthrough progression I love how you lose yourself while playing. I truly believe that connection takes you to a higher consciousness. Your videos help me greatly. Much respect. Thx
So beautiful I could cry
I have a 1937 D18 sunburst, and it sounds just like this one: so clear and woody and sweet at the same time. And the projection....just awesome. Thanks for this vid.
That most of cost you an arm and a leg, I’m very jealous. I will win a nice Martin in a bluegrass competition one day, this poor boy will see his day.
All I can say is WOW ! There's nothing like a Martin
Jesus! That is one of the nicest sounding guitars I've ever heard! Recorded perfectly!
My nephew. So talented.
Sorry , I just saw your comment. Your nephew is in my top 5 acoustic guitarists ever. Carl's playing has inspired me beyond measure.
There’s nothing like the sound of an old Martin
Superb player, this gentleman could make a breadboard sound good.
Yes sublime playing on a special guitar.
Just sounds like his soul is singing Carl is a master always able to get to the heart of all the guitars he plays
Great!
A 1938 Martin D18. Damn!
It is September 28, 2022, and I haven’t seen any demos from Carl in the past few weeks. Love the channel and hope he returns.
Such taste, technique, humanity...
Sweet lord baby j-zusse, I have never heard a guitar sounds as beautiful as this one 🥺 What a warm sound!!!!!
Marvellous, simply marvellous.
It’s aggressive in all the right places and subtle enough to create an atmosphere
This guitar sounds beautiful. The guitarist did a great job playing it. Very soulful.
I tune into the site just to hear Carl play, one of my favourite guitarists, so tasteful in every note.
great player and a great guitar in that order thanks
I love my 1981 lefthanded D-18, just wish I could do it this kind of justice
Carl, I will buy anything you release.
Holy moly that was special....wow...
Wow, what a beautiful instrument. I found this checking to see if anything was posted up that Carl had done recently. We had so much fun many years ago when he was 17/18 he played in a band I had going. We both had Bluegrass (I've played harmonica and was in Bluegrass bands back as far as 1975) backgrounds so we could go for fiddle tunes but, our main "bread and butter" was Swing (the Lindy Hop dancers would pack-in to dance with us) along with some Blues, Jazz, R&B, etc. whatever we felt like and whoever was singing (female vocal material) had in their repertoire. In the '70's when I played at Bluegrass festivals most of the established players had these D-18's. I believe Carl had one too. Also opened for Doc & Merle a couple times and them too on the D-18's I believe....although by then he may have been on the Gallaghers.
Great, no words!
Such beautiful, musical technique.
That guitar looks mint - wow. Amazing tone and what a guitarist to match!
Carl yet again playing another stunning guitar to perfection. That D-18 looks brand new. As someone said below, might be the best guitar I’ve heard. Just gorgeous and balanced tone, and that low end 😍😍😍.
Wow Carl that is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your genius of the guitar with us!
It’s the pick attack on these old guitars that really makes it. Dude can play too
Incredible sounding guitar.
that's the nicest tone i've heard in a long time
Gregory Alan Isakov - If I Go, I'm Going
Not sure if this is the song he's playing but holy sh*t, thanks man, had not heard a song like that in years, so good, appreciate it.
If you got more songs in that style, would appreciate if you can recommend them
Dude, you are the best! I wish I could play like that!
I keep coming back to this. Captures me every time. Thank you.
This is just lovely beyond words
Beautiful!
One of the best guitars I have ever heard. Martin makes the best guitars in my opinion.
*made
Superbe jeu tout en finesse
All in all, this is truly moving. Thanks.
Beautiful playing,
Ohh that is a smooth sounding guitar
The instruments, the capture and the like are sensational. But honestly, your talent and sensitivity are indescribable. My sincere greetings, and thank you very much for giving us such musicality.
sounds special to me. not a powerhouse but such a sweet tone like a warm coffee.
great recording too!
My '21 sounds just as good... which is not saying this sounds bad, but that current D-18's can sound just as stellar.
Sounds great
Every guitar you guys record sounds amazing !
Sounds incredible!!!! wish you had a lesson on that song, Carl you rock!
Fantastic player. Wow.
Going to check Carl miner out.
I wish I could play like this.
what’s stopping you from playing like this? Carl practiced. Practice as much as you can everyday.
What tone!!
Sounds beautiful,not bad playing either Carl.👍🏴👍
Didn't know him at all but what a skilled player
Carl, this is such a beautiful and soothing piece. Your artistry and touch are at a level that speaks directly to the heart and soul. I would love to know what the chords are in this progression. It would be the piece of music I would strive for myself when times get tough. And yes, your fans would 'love' for you to post some instructional videos. Thanks, Bob
I would take lessons for sure, Carl is a past Winfield winner. So he would be a great one to learn from
The chords are predominantly F C Am Em G etc (I haven’t studied it so closely). The truth is that his technique is mind blowing; it’s deliberate, accurate, dynamically rich and played with feeling. In amongst those chords are Maj 7ths where just taking one finger of the chord changes the emotion conveyed. I personally can play all of this quite easy but I simply can’t play it anywhere near this level of perfection which is why when people say I’m pretty good at guitar I laugh and think “If only they knew about the likes of Carl Miner”.
@@fannyingabout Thanks John, Yes, I watched it repeatedly and figured out the chords as well. I didn't catch the Em though. This guy is so amazing to get so much sonic dynamics out of such a simple progression.
@@BobEstremera Agreed Bob -
I mean, just… wow
Absolutely beautiful
That was wonderful, thank you
very good
Really beautiful...🎵
Incredible sound! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I have one D28
The North American Guitar Company. Home of the worlds finest guitars and players.
Sounds incredible. It has a dovetail joint, not a mortise and tenon.
This is one of the best recordings of any guitar I’ve ever heard! Wow I am floored by the warmth and clarity of this vintage Martin!
@@HenryPipes There’s a reason those things are six figures!
Hog & Adi
A match made in pre war heaven
i believe the pre war martins had traditional dovetail neck and neck block
They still do.
Carl's amazing and can make a shoe box sound good lol but he sure knows how to demo any type body shape.. that's the best sounding martin I ever heard. I know everyone gets their rocks of on all the fancy rosewood guitars but to me, mahogany is the true king of tonewood
wow
Carl needs to release a CD. I will be first in line to buy it. Please Carl! Make the disc!!!
Check out a band called The Greencards, that's his band
@@martymcpeak4748 Technically he joined that band in Austin, "founded by Englishman Eamon McLoughlin and Australians Kym Warner and Carol Young" (hence the "Greencards name). Prior to that at 17/18 he had played in my band in Oregon (with a few years on his own in between). We played Swing, Jazz, Blues and whatever other fun we could have since my background was in Bluegrass also (harmonica 45 years now) so we could always bring out a fiddle tune or country tune even though not our main focus. The swing dancers followed us around for some "Jump Jive 'n Wail".
@@gabrieln3613 Thank you for filing me in and i apologize for my mistake, I stand corrected. But at any rate Carl is a world class guitarist, and one I would love to see get the recognition he so rightly deserves. He has an uncanny sense of melody and amazing feel for playing a song and adding just the right nuances that serve the song.
@@martymcpeak4748 absolutely! No apology necessary, but I understand. My intent was just to fill in some information that others might not be aware of but cool to know, especially when appreciating Carl's guitar skills which are definitely always on point. Carl definitely listens to what he can add to something in a complementary way, hence being such a great studio player. My band was actually called Gabriel and The Technicians..... And Carl is most definitely a technician when it comes to clean and precise guitar playing. We always had fun playing together!
@@gabrieln3613 now I am going to have to give a listen, if it's one thing I have learned about musicians. We tend to gravitate to others like ourselves, and you were drawn to Carl and likewise the music had to be good.
That was heavenly. Is it one of your creations? I just kept playing it over and over...
Yessir all the pieces Carl plays are his own, he writes them in the spot. Matter of fact Carl said in an interview that he is going to go back and flesh out some of those melodies into full songs and release them to all of the fans of himself and T.N.A.G., hopefully it won't be too long till it comes to fruition.
Very mellow right ? Love it !!! Good bass too . I should probably took out for this one . I wonder if it’s better than the D28 ..?
I wonder what strings are used on these guitars.
Great tone, and playing is off the charts!
We most often string guitars up with either D'Addario (EJ17s on a dreadnought like this) or occasionally Elixirs
@@TheNorthAmericanGuitar yeah, I love the sound of EJ17s....thanks for letting me know!
One word. Mahogany
Oh my God
A quand un album ?
Good
Sensational... what tune is this?
I maybe wrong, but it sound like The Greenhouse by Bros Landreth. It’s a killer tune! Go check it out, it won’t disappoint.
I would love to know the full chain and mix on this. is it flat? what pre-amps were used? etc. Thank you in advance. Simply incredible recording!! Thank you.
Hey North American Guitar, the Mic pair is a Schoeps Colette pair? So a pair of CMC6s both with the MK41 capsules? Thanks in advance, absolutely love these demos.
Hi! What is the make and model of the condenser microphone that you recorded this review?
Thanks!!!
sweet. mind I think the picker had quite a bit to do with it. respect.
Some fucking sound this
fabulous sound What String sizes do you use on these Classic Martin guitars?
What mic are you using for these recordings? Sounds fantastic 👏
Shoeps CMC6/MK41 stereo pair... not my recording the info is at the start of the video.
What is the name of this song? I'm sure that I've heard it before, and this version is amazing...
wow great job and great tone.. Carl, what flat pick are you using?
I think he uses blue chip
