When Brandon was a younger Vampire. He remembers when those were new guitars.
mike kooz I choked on the blood I was sucking when I read this
Brandon is kicking himself for selling that guitar back in the day and not holding onto it longer.
XD
💀💀💀
Lmao
I'd love to see Brandon playing a classical vampire in a movie, he'd be perfect for the role
the fact that Rob sat there in front of three craftsmen of that level and played "To Zanarkand" on a $115,000 antique classical guitar.... enormous balls.
Why not? It's a beautiful piece.
It's such a great tune, one of my favorites in fact. I wish he came with his A game on that one.
Dunno why people seem to think that music from a video game can't be beautiful music on its own! So what its from a video game. If anything its a testament to the song that the 3 dudes liked it!
Would love to see Mike Dawes beat on a couple of those guitars ....
$115’000 and it’s not even in tune 🤣🤣
It can be so intimidating playing with incredible musicians. I just love how kind and humble Brandon is, showing Rob new techniques without a hint of ego or condescension. Humility is a sign of a true consummate professional.
Sarcasm?
@@dardhadard837 no? why would I say what I said sarcastically?
Genuine Compliment?
brandon is such a passionate individual. It actually seems so bizarre to me that someone could spend so much time learning about history, and still sound like he plays 10 hours a day. it's incredible that someone could be a historian and technical virtuoso. he's a god among men, and he carries himself with the casual humility of someone who is absolute sure of himself.

Very true, that Rob guy managed to make them all sound like 50 dollar guitars.
Me: Listening to what the guitar tells me.
Guitar: Hand me to someone else.
Bridesbiscuit very underrated comment😂😂
Your comment is hilarious mate. But that is what would be said if I held a guitar like that!.
This one got me hahaha
Which is exactly what the guitar was saying but Rob just kept pawing at that poor thing....
Me: I want to play you.
Guitar: Stop touching me. No really.
"What is that piece called?"
"THAT is the theme song from Final Fantasy X"
i was sat here like did he just bust out to zanarkand on a 115000 dollar guitar
It's a beautiful song.
By far got me more excited than any other composition 🤣🤣 Maybe my favourite gaming music and ost and hearing it was so unexpected 😛.

He's a pro luthier 😁
Old man is Richard Brune, and red shirt is Marshall Brune, luthier father and son
The playing from Brandon was fantastic, but the thing that clued me into how unfathomably talented he is was that he was able to select the perfect song for the distinct tonalities of each guitar without fail. He knew exactly what to play for each guitar and that is mind blowing
When a guitar quite literally costs more than your house. Impressive.
Sup dude
Not that hard when you live in a cardboard box ;________;
Send bass
Even more impressive is the fact that you are everywhere
If u a rat you can live in it so it counts as a house
I just want a woman to look at me the way Rob looks at Brandon when he's playing
I mean who wouldn't.. Lol
Goofy The Scot 10:51
Noticed that too 😊. That’s how much he appreciates classical.
I know because I do too.
Goofy The Scot same tho 😭😭😭
It's possible, I've had a few women do it and I can't play classical guitar even a quarter as well as Brandon does. 😂🎸
Brandon's rendition of Nocturne 9 at 14:30 is one of the most incredible thing ive ever heard.
So to us electric players, that thing is like having a 54 strat from October 54 (first month of production) with the serial number on the neck plate being under 100. Unicorn essentially.
For those wondering

6:52 is one of the greatest moments in GUITAR HISTORY!!!
The bit of nocturne from 15:03 to 15:05 is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard a guitar make.
You know brandon is crazy good at classical when he makes rob look like a pure beginner
"My question is who paid for this?!"
Brandon remembering his younger years in 1908: 😬
Price tag and what its worth are two different ball games lol
More like his teenage days from 1860s
"Rob, I don't think you'll live after knowing this..."
Wow. Such beautiful sound from timeless classical instruments. Does Sweetwater carry these? Maybe for a little less?
The one who is able to buy it doesn’t know to play and the one who know how to play doesn’t have money for it.
This is the first time that the $275000 guitar ever had American Football played on it.
So crazy
Businessmen and brands (the worst one Martin) try to make a vintage and historic market for guitar but these guitars are so overpriced!
When this guitar is 270000 a real old guitar ( befor 19s ) must be 10 millions!!!
My father's violin is older than this guitar (at least 50 years) it is not a famous brand but he believes it was made by a master luthier in Bavaria for a professional player.
And i think it is at least15 times cheaper than it.
Which song was it? The last one?
@@nmnmnm9509 we had a couple come to play in my orchestra class last year, the Man was a very professional concert musician, his wife was a film musician, hers was worth 1.6 mil I think?

@@matthewjmcnaughton It's at 21:46
I know rob is a absolutely amazing guitar player, but it’s so funny to see the way these classical players look at him while he attempts to play his songs on them. This is how I feel when I’m jamming with electric players and it’s hilarious to me the differences between players from classical to electric. They’re both so cool in different ways
Just want to say these luthiers are very generous and kind. I’d never be presumptuous enough to think I could play such amazing instruments.
Robs channel has turned into a music history channel
I ain't mad tho
And I am completely fine with that
Its good though coz we get to see brandon flex those fingers of him play anything classical
Gman Gmn I’m fine with this
*And I LOVE it :D*
i can make that guitar sound like a 100 dollar guitar
ROFLMAO! I was thinking the same.
Ive seen this comment on almost all of these expensive guitar videos
Meh. I can make it sound like a kazoo.
That's what the guy with the cap is doing ...
Johnny Pormento hey me to.... its a talent my friend.
Hearing y’all playing such superb guitars so sweetly reminds of when my sister & I went to see/hear Segovia perform at the LA Music Center in 1969-70 … after an amazingly extraordinary evening of performance and offering 11 encores … he said, “You have been a delightful audience !!! But … now it’s time to go home !!!” What a night !!!
21:32 It sounded like the guitar started to breath life again, it felt like it had this sigh of relief as it was played again
It was played like ass tho
Rob, you played "Smoke on the water" on a one of a kind 50,000 dollar guitar...that's like you got the most expensive Filet Mignon steak at the nicest restaurant ever and you poured Ketchup ALL over it. Bravo my friend.
Justin Quinton he even put his foot up on the foot rest and then put the guitar on the other leg. I think that just completes the whole thing

275k is insanity, but it honestly has to be one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever heard. Also the history behind it. It's definitely more than fairly priced.
The low notes especially... that was just amazing. Never heard a guitar sound so beautiful
@@LeutnantJoker Seriously
When Rob was looking at Brandon while he plays Chopin - Nocturne op.9 no.2, I was thinking to myself. Man, I'd have the exact same look on my face, Brandon plays very beautifully.

This is so awesome. There's a clearly classically taught musician and music nerd there, two musical historians and craftsmen, expert at their job and then there is Rob, playing Smoke on the Water on a 130k classic, collectible guitar. Just making random internet guys' dreams come true.
You, sir are a legend.
well Rob seems to be a trained musician too
@@xmiraculix82 i don't think he meant to downplay Rob beside the other guys, I think he was pointing towards a bigger picture involving the internet making Rob bring all those people together to create this beauty of a video for us. The way I understood it, his comment just nailed it :)
And so are you,
just for the correct application of the apostrophe...
i completely agree.
it would be awesome as well to hear Brandon play Rob's 8 string
I mean, he did play the intro to Never Meant which is always beautiful.
This really brought home to me how I felt after playing flat top and electric for 42 years at an advanced level, I took up classical. It was like the guitar deeply resented by lack of touch and expression. Still trying to catch up ten years later.
It was good to see how Rob so quickly go from awkwardness to being musical here, and yet, and yet.
Indeed, great classical guitar is soul and love.
That last guitar was legitimately the best sounding acoustic I've ever heard. If it sounds that good over video imagine how good it is in person...

at 10:59 as well
I love how Brandon, on his channel, teaches how the correct posture helps with classical guitar, and then comes in and sits in the most casual way but plays exactly the same.
Its correct posture just relaxed position
What is his channel? I’d love to check it out.
@@bradcogar2915 His name is Brandon Acker, happens to be his channel name as well.
Thank you!
I took approximately 3 years of classical guitar lessons and was around a lot of great players during that time period and wonderful guitars too.The torres, the 275k guitar is the most beautiful sounding classical guitar that I have ever heard
The amazing part is how the sound depends on the PLAYER. When Rob plays those 100k beauties they sound like classical guitars. But when Brandon pulls the strings...maaan, you can just drift away.
The style of approaching the instrument is crucial to the sound with acoustic instrument and here's the ultimate representation of this statement :)
Thanks, guys.
That guy just casually playing Erik Satie while doing the artificial harmonics was insanely impressive, gymnopidie no. 1 is one of the first classical songs I learned to play and it was insanely cool to hear a master utilize such impressive techniques on the piece
you are a hero
I don't know if I just completely missed it, but I didn't hear him play Satie. I did hear him play Chopin - Nocturne No. 2 at around 14:30 though.
Edit: My apologies, I watched back and he did play it.
Louis Irvine that one was beautiful too, that’s my girlfriend’s favorite piece as well
All about years of consistent practice.
I kinda regret not taking my classical guitar lessons seriously enough and then quiting because now I'm dating a girl who's totally into classical guitar music. But all I can do is play the ukulele very badly and electric guitar even worse 😋 She did get me to listen to a lot of John Williams again though. So lately I've found a new appreciation again. Guess it's time to restring mine. Handmade by a German luthier and fortunately I still have it. Still smells like new when I open the case.
If I could play like that dude on the left, I'd never do anything else.
As someone who plays like him, kinda funny to see the comments to it. Often forget how impressive it is to most people.
@@imacat8476 - Well, in fairness I'm a pretty good guitar player (I make my living at it), but of a completely different style.

I was the UPS driver in 1979 for Sherry-Brenner In Chicago.. They were the supplier for the Guitars of Andres Segovia. I actually got to touch a guitar that he tested to buy. They were kept in a bank vault. I played $10,000 dollar guitars. I dreamed of someday owning one. I never did, but I learned to respect cheaper guitars that sounded great. It made me a better musician and I never forgot those days.
I love how Rob is such a phenomenal musician and he's so humble. He isn't pretentious about any of it and I appreciate that.
I love it how these guys have this relaxed mentality about playing the guitars. It's meant to be played, just like a car is meant to be driven, and they understand that.
EddieGuy VH agree, love to see Lamborghinis and Ferraris being driven, not being stored in a garage as a mere investment.
Rob looking at Brandon playing is worth much more than any price tag. I will always be grateful for having “met” these two musicians. Thanks Rob for that.

@@rudiwinkelspecht4930 It's called tremolo
You hit the nail on the head. The player makes the music..nearly any guitar can sound good if the player has talent. The "hello kitty' videos prove this beyond a doubt.

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I was as equally impressed with everyone's humble attitude and great sense of humor. I laughed especially hard when Rob made note of the 275,00 price tag and I was waiting for Marshall to jokingly say that it came with a $274,000 case. Everyone here was class act. You can tell and sense their deep rooted love for everything guitar.
When Brandon picked up the Torrez, he completely changed, his playing became that much more fluid and expressionistic, his respect for such a wonderful guitar shone through...
Hey Rob - this is no doubt going to get buried in the comments but I thought I'd put it out there anyway:
Since you've been doing this series of videos about different and interesting players and instruments, I couldn't help but think of my bass idol - Michael Manring. That dude is seriously an amazing player with a crazy unique instrument - the Hyperbass. It's a 4 string fretless, 3 octave bass with really light strings, outfitted with extender levers on EVERY string, a bridge that can shift tunings with a lever, AND a pickup for every string in addition to 4 body pickups. The way he approaches and plays the instrument and just approaches music making is astounding, and to top it all off he's a super down to earth guy!
I think that if you could get in touch with him and sit down to chat about the instrument and his style, it'd be a really interesting conversation for people to see. He really pushes the boundaries of how I've thought about my playing and how i listen to music, and I think it'd be really amazing to see him on and spread his work around to others.
Love your work Rob, keep the amazing content coming!
Edit: thanks for the likes guys! I appreciate it and hope you enjoyed the new music - here’s hoping rob sees!
John Jarvis that does sound super cool!!
I looked up this because of this comment... sounds awesome. Yeah Rob (and/or Davie) should definitely do something with a/the hyperbass.
@@tatua.3820 Rob > Davie to do that sort or video. Dave became a shitty memer to get easy clicks. Used to really like him.

I'm in the middle of researching for an assignment into innovations into classical guitar making, and the differences compared to steel string acoustic guitars. Right before I rewatched this, I was reading about all the great luthiers featured here in Making Master Guitars. Ramirez, Hernández, Hauser, Friederich and Torres. This video made me gain a new found appreciation for why these instruments are as special as they are. Putting them into context, they come from a very different time, where you couldn't just make 2 guitars sound similar with post-production tweaks, so players would shop with their ears, picking guitars that suited the way they played and that's definitely something that I need to remember going forward, designing the next 2 instruments that will take me to graduation.
I love the sound Brandon gets while playing Capricho Árabe, so sweet and intense... it's simply wonderful

I'll never be in a position to play guitars like these, but I would love to be in a room of acoustic/classical guitar lovers like these guys. I almost teared up when they said, "listen to what the guitar tells you to play"...I thought I'm the only one who thought that way. It's great knowing I'm not alone.

But if you're like me they look at you like at 14:03
@@Spacegoat92 Well spotted and so true.... 😂
I fixed a broken acoustic guitar before. It must be worth $276.000 LMAO
I was just about to comment something exactly like that lmfao
Rob: **tunes the $275k guitar to FACGCE**
Me: **heavy Midwestern breathing**
Hahahaha
I felt the same here 😂
Could you please help a German out here? Why "Midwestern breathing"? Has that sth to do with overweight? Are Midwesterners perceived as especially chubby? Are there even scientific data? :-D
@@BlackAdder665 'midwestern emo' uses primarily odd guitar tunings
@@javi1770 That's a genre? Wow, they're very specific these days.
I’m honestly surprised rob hasnt dabbled in flamenco or classical guitar. He’d probably love flamenco with how many techniques require you to hit the front of the guitar lmao practiced flamenco since middle school up until my senior year of highschool in California. Twas an unforgettable experience getting the chance to play to the best of my ability
6:56 *Rob looking all amazed at Brandon says everything.*
14:52 the moment when rob swear he found a perfect man for his life
I went to 14.52 and laughed so hard I almost pissed my pants. You are a funny SOB
hahahahaha Look at those eyes!!!!hahahaha
Now I want a Brandon Acker album where he plays a dozen or so rare, antique guitars -- the cream of the crop. _One song_ per guitar, selecting each piece to suit the strengths and tonality of each instrument.
I'd pay for that.
I wish they'd also demoed the older, smaller guitar to give a sense of just how the developments in the Torres contrasted from what the musicians of the time were used to.
Very enjoyable video and glimpse into the history and evolution of these amazing instruments. Thank you!
14:54 was the moment Rob fell in love
What was that song called
Nocturne 2
10:50
4:44
I came to the comments to see if someone else noticed that haha, he really did
$275,000 guitar.
"Play what the guitar tells you to play."
Rob:
"American Football"
Americ
Anfootball
@@ryanulc2859 correct
The suggestion was absurd though. He was trying to sell the guitar by basically saying that it played itself. Wth? I suppose "tone wood" back then could not only be very..tonal...but could remember the songs vibrating through them AND play them back through the fingers of the player. Hahaha... silliness
I get why someone would pay 150k for it (not 280) but selling it as if it has the spirit of dead masters in it is just gross. It's collectable. The history is awesome. It's of a quality that might cost 1k today though. Unless I'm wrong. 😯
@@CynHicks He wasn't saying that the guitar played itself, he was telling Rob to just play what felt right to him. Between tone and feel each guitar is different and what you would play on one guitar wouldn't necessarily feel right to play on another, his suggestion was basically to hear and feel how the guitar played and go with the flow.
@@CynHicks yes, literally everything you said was wrong. How you even came to that conclusion is beyond me.
Very very very awesome. I've always loved the classical guitar. It's awesome when you find one out there and it's reasonable and price and it just sounds just awesome. Peace! Thanks!
The best in this video is seeing Rob being humble and amazed. Great guy!
This man just played Never Meant on a $275,000 guitar. Legend
Lmaooo
Let's just forget
6-digit tag.
Absolutely amazing
It's not a 275k guitar. It's a guitar with a 275k price tag. It could go for 1k or it go for 1m.
@@EnterJustice its not a 10 dollar apple, its a 10 dollar price tag, It could Go for 1 dollar or 1 million
These sort of videos are precious in a way, leaving a record for history. Platforms like UA-cam are so new to us that I don't think we realize what we're doing for future generations. This is a document that's more valuable than any Wikipedia entry describing these guitars. We get to hear them and have contemporary experts candidly commenting on their feelings regarding the instruments. Can you imagine having such a record from 2000 years ago?
@Robert M Kreegier
What a perfect point to make.
Thank you for expanding thoughts to exactly where they ought to be.
Beautifully spoken
@Jay M lmao that was unnecessarily aggressive
@Jay M dude stfu he has a point
Library of Alexandria distaster: hold my fire
For me as an Bavarian I hear that the Hauser is made for „Folklore-ish“ kind of Bavarian music called „Stubnmusi“. Where as with the Torres, the flamenco type sound goes so beautiful… Great Video!
Words like you can never have too many guitars have been heard uttered next to those gorgeous instruments!
Such warm and plucky tones, mellifluous even... What a beautiful session...
I'll get back to you when my numbers drop on the lottery!
