Hey man love the channel. I'm a dad from Hawaii. I don't play. Never have. But I do enjoy guitar talent. My 13 year old son started playing around with a guitar in school for the first time in his short life. He was allowed to bring it home for a weekend about 3 months ago. About a couple weeks after that, I took him to get a used Fendor at the exchange shop here. We are not rich. So lessons were not in the plans. But I found you on youtube and shared your channel with him. He has learned much from your channel. I am impressed with his growth in such a short time. A big mahalo for what you are doing. This channel is like him having his own guitar lesson whenever he is ready for it. I officially have a guitar geek in my home and I couldn't be any happier. Keep up the good work!
#Smallwin I was playing my guitar and had wrote a little melody, then my mom asked what it was. I told her that I had wrote it and she was impressed. Made a video with the song and sent it to my grandparents, who loved it! Thanks for the great show from Bellville, TX!
I've been friends with this girl at the guitar store for some time. She was concerned about her sales target, so I wanted to help her out. I bought something I needed for my electric rig and I spotted a newer version of a Taylor 414ce that I had with me and I wanted to check it out. One thing led to another and she offered to change my strings, clean up and set up my guitar... and with a sly smile on her face, all she allowed me to pay for was the strings. #smallwin We ended up having lunch after that since it was her break time. You know you're a guitar geek when... You have a guitar for literally every possible dress code.
AskMatt# - how about a quick episode on scale length. I noticed in Tony's interview with him during the quick round his answer to the scale length was very quick and definite. Maybe Matt can give us a discussion on the history and F&B of the various scale lengths. Love the show. Thanks Tom
Greetings from New Forest, Hampshire, UK. I thought it’d be good to do a guitarsenal, but my wife might see what I actually have! Enjoyed the episode, thanks, Mike.
#smallwin (I guess for all guitar geeks as anyone of us hopes guitar will never die). While in Italy I met 2 friends at a bar at the beach at Lake Como. Since all of us are guitar geeks the discussion was centered on guitars and music. Somehow we reach a point into the discussion where we tried to determine when exactly people stop meeting at the beach around a campfire in the evening to play and sing together. We all agreed that most likely people born after 1995 are not into rock, folk or any guitar music and they would find it boring or silly to sit around a campfire to sing. Anyway as the evening progressed I took out my guitar and played a couple of songs. As I played "Black" by Pearl Jam I clearly saw 2 young girls passing by and stopping to listen. That gave me hope. That one day someone will pick up from my generation and continue our tradition to gather and play around the campfire at the beach.
Tony your right I bought my best guitar Taylor 714ce got home with it and the top case bit it . Guitarwant 2hrs old tan God it only put 1 little dimple in top but I was stil sock for a week .great tip
6th no no on guitar cases....Never leave your guitar case open after you get your guitar out when outside. Stones, dirt, etc. can get in and cause damage to your guitar when you put it back in the case.
The case in the sun can also warp the case and misaline the latches. Annnnnnnd, you know when your a guitar geek when the first thing you do after comming ba k from a short or longer trip: to check your guitars to make sure they are still there and open the cases to be sure. DaveyJO in Lancaster Co PA
Hey Tony, Gilbert here in Montreal, Quebec (not Arizona). Been listening to your show since day 1. It's after midnight here, full moon ashinin', and trying to imagine you moon-walking like Michael onto the screen wearing a white glove! B.t.w., my dear friend Anne-Marie's B-day is today as well. Won't divulge her age, just to say she's outlived Mr. Jackson somewhat. A toast to you and your show's anniversary! Bonne chance with your wedding plans as well.
Hi Tony. I'm going back to this past episode of AT to update a past #smallwin and to confirm one of your guitar case don't-do's featured in this episode. I had never heard of, or considered, the "case bite" danger, but in a Facebook conversation with the former owner of my "new" 1993 Bourgeois OM guitar (red cedar top, Brazilian rosewood back and sides, serial number 000053), I learned that an area of slightly mis-matched toner near the edge of the lower bout was the result of a repair of a hole punched into the top the by the case latch falling back on the guitar the very first time the then-new-owner opened the case. I guess that explains how I was able to purchase the OM for much less than I had expected (before I knew of the damage, I was thinking it would sell in the $10,000 range, but paid less than $3600). Still a major #smallwin (or is that an #oxymoron?), but WATCH OUT FOR CASE BITE!
The bonus no-no about the 4th latch: I've done that too! Fortunately, I felt the resistance and stopped trying to open it. But it took me a few tries before I clued in to what the problem was! I felt so dumb! Duhh!!! :D To be honest, I don't catch your show very often, because I'm not all that much of an acoustic player anymore. But still, cool show, cool info, and some nice laughs. Thanks for the content! Cheers from Norwood, Ontario, Canada.
Aloha, Tony and Noah. Watching from Wahiawa, Hawaii. Love the show. The Leadbelly story trivia was great. Last Thursday many here in Hawaii were very concerned about the weather as Hurricane Lane was poised to thrash the state. I was looking at the news on my iPad for the weather update when I saw a photo of Tommy Emmanuel along the right hand side of the page, which triggered a #smallwin. I clicked on the photo and it took me to the Hawaii Blue Note page. He was to be in concert on Friday and Saturday. I got a premium ticket and got to see him at his 9 pm show. I think there should be a new category of #Hugewin. For me it was a huge win. Also, thank you for featuring John Paul White on today's show. What a treat.
Might I recommend a a singer-songwriter named Isabeau Waia'u Walker who lives and plays in Oregon. She has her own channel on UA-cam and truly deserves more attention.
Many moons ago, I was in a 60's British invasion band.. We called Our guitar acquisition disease.... G.A.S. "Guitar Acquisition Syndrome" This described our, "I only want one more guitar" Mantra, so welcome to the group Shane!!
Tony, I know your video is guitar focused, and that's why I clicked it, but my son lives in Rhinelander, WI (home of the Hodag) and I must know where you got your awesome Hodag mug! I've seen lesser Hodag mugs and yours is definitely the coolest! Thanks.
Andy LOL good eye :-) The mug was sent by an Acoustic Tuesday fan who lives near/in the UP. My folks also just moved up near the UP, it's one of my favorite places to visit :-)
Hey, props your way again from Chesapeake, Virginia, guys! Another great show Tony, Noah, and Levi! (Just need to see Levi once in a while, please? He is after all, the glue.)
Howdy from Brazoria, TX! Wondering of the effect of the ToneRite is "permanent?" In other words, is this a lasting improvement, or temporary. (Read some reviews that stated folks would "warm-up" their guitar prior to a gig.) I'm about to pull the trigger on a guitar with a new Adirondack top, and think it might help break it in (I'm 62, don't want to wait 10 years!) Thanks for another great show!
Steven, Been using the two I got ever since I received them (yes it is driving Whitney crazy). I am really blown away by the difference they are making across the board on my guitars :-)
Arthur, I have had wonderful experiences with Calton Cases. They are extremely tough and the new ones are much lighter than the old ones :-) If you find yourself traveling a bunch a specific flight case is a fantastic investment :-) Cheers!!!
Hello Guys! Watching from Voronezh (pronounced Vo Ro Nesh) Russia! Enjoyed watching episode 53, great stuff! #smallwins Bought an Aria AF-20 BS here at a local Voronezh store called “Musical Arsenal” a short walking distance from the apartment. I did a set up, adjusting the truss rod, shaving down the bridge a little, put on some new strings and it plays and sounds pretty good. This is my 6th guitar in as many months... Love the show, keep up the good work!
Hey Tony and Noah! #youknowyoureaguitargeekwhen you're driving to get your guitar-playing sister a present at Guitar Center and your daughter says "At least we can help you PICK out a present for Aunt Beth. Get it? PICK out a present. We need to share that one with Tony." 😂
Back in the day before they had anything like Tone-right...I would put on a long album w/ heavy bass and put my guitar right in front of the speaker and leave the house for the day...worked pretty great, but this much simpler and you don’t bother your neighbors!
Greetings from San Fran. One more case habit - latch your case even when the guitar is out of it. I can't count the number of times I've picked up an empty case and spilled the contents of the storage box - especially if its in a dark room - and you never find all the picks and capos, etc. that you started with.
And don't leave the case open on the floor in a dark place. Those latches hurt, and the hinge straps are not meant to absorb the blow from you're tripping over it.
I have a TONE RITE and all my (high end) guitars are improved ! It is really a magic apparatus that changes your "old" sound in a real vintage, high end top quality guitar sound ! I would say, do not hesitate and run to your TR dealer and buy it ! It is the best decision your own guitar would take, if she could decide ..... !
Hey there loving another Acoustic Tuesday. Fell behind had to do a massive viewing of several shows to get caught up! Where's the best place to watch weekly so you can see all the comments coming in.....they use to be on the side and fun to follow while watching? So watch via UA-cam or Tony's Acoustic Challenge or ? which is best?
Guys #smallwin, bought 24 types of pics (mostly dunlop) and strings from Santa Cruz, d'Addario and Straight Up. Straight Up designed the Santa Cruz strings. So the win is that all three of my guitars (Preston Thompson Parlor 2 (current fav), Collings D2HS, Waterloo WL-12) work best with different picks and different strings. PT Parlor best Santa Cruz light, Either my Wavelength 0.82 pick or Primetone 0.88, Collings D2HS d'Addario 13-56, Primetone 1.0, Waterloo WL-12 (yes I like the 12 frets obvious reason: bridge is centered on the lower bout!) Straight up light, Primeton 1.4. It's funny the thicker the pick the faster I can play but the voice becomes duller. You can use this to your advantage. Like the PT Parlor is all Mahogany, so brighter pick and strings works best, the Collings is huge, much bigger than standard D because it's full scale and 12fret, that needs toned down a little so heavier strings and thicker pick. The Waterloo is maple back and sides, it's a bit bright so thicker picks and different strings. Great experiment, now back to work on my acoustic tube di. More on that maybe in OCT when I finish it up.
#Youknowyou'reaguitargeek when you are browsing Acoustic Life TV website waiting for the latest episode of Acoustic Tuesday and realize an hour or so later it happened because of the shear amount of information on the site. Cheers to you both Tony and Noah for another very informative show. #BeardedGuitarBros Viewing from Southern California
aloha from Hawaii... just ordered my shirt, planning on sharing a pic in the future.. love the show you guys, keep up the good work. (please review a Prestige Eclipse, if possible)
#youknowyoureaguitargeekwhen you're colleague brings you his guitar at work to look at that he bought many years ago but wants to learn to play it now. As soon as you look at it you get a huge eye twitch (kindly hiding it though), because the bridge and the fretboard is so dry, strings rusted, and before you could help yourself you take your guitar's allen key out the bag to adjust the trussrod cause the neck is bend badly. You smile and tune the guitar but deep inside you, all you want to do is take it home get new strings, humidify the poor guitar and then polish and oil it and then restring it and give it all the tlc it deserves. From Germarié (nickname Germs) from Potchefstroom, South Africa.
Oh trust me I tried convincing him, but only succeeded in telling him to get new strings and then I will help him with polish and oil part. However, another plan is to let him practice on my one guitar while I give his guitar tlc :-D
#smallwin yesterday I swapped out the strings on my d-18 for a set of the mid tension Santa Cruz strings. What a great feeling and sounding set of strings!
Not a #smallwin but a #biglose: I have a Taylor 114e with a soft case that can be worn as a backpack. Guess what? I forgot to zip up the case, fling the case over my right should and *wham*, Guitar went flying out right onto the concrete ground below it. Split the top and had a huge gash in the headstock.
Sean, We are sending our guitar geek condolences to you, sorry to hear about the damage, but hopefully you can find a local luthier that will help put your six string friend back together :-)
#youmightbeaguitargeekwhen The world thinks you're taking your daughter back to college. In reality you're planning a visit to Dave's Guitar Shop in Lacrosse, WI while you are there.
Shane B with my weekly check in from Bristol, TN. Most EPIC episode yet! And I'm not just saying that because you featured my small #GUITARSENAL. Thanks by the way. Only three weeks left until Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion. You guys should really feature it on Acoustic Tuesday. We have Old Crow Medicine Show headlining this year, and Molly Tuttle is going to be here as well. www.birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/festival/
Great Guitar Vid.... Honestly, I actually thought that was a Jack Black figure, not just a Jack Nicholson AKA: Jack Torrance figure..... I call em as I see em... LOL! Thank you for the education!!

Thanks! It did feel like a big win and it has inspired me to write more fingerstyle melodies!

One of the best episodes so far for me personally. Unfortunately my taylor 414ce and I know all to well about case bite. Tuning in from Tazewell TN.
Only just discovered you for myself gentlemen. Hugely entertaining and informative.
Way to go fellas. Top job . .

Great show. Love the reference to the angels get their wings line from It's a Wonderful Life.
Happy birthday, Tony. You don't look a day over 34 1/2 :-).
Hey, props your way again from Chesapeake, Virginia, guys! Another great show Tony, Noah, and Levi! (Just need to see Levi once in a while, please? He is after all, the glue.)

Hey Tony, Just seeing this & love the show. Tuning in from Boston, MA
Great show guys 👌 I'm new to this gig and a self confessed guitar geek from Newport UK. Subscription activated👍

Good piece on cases Tony. What about flight cases? Worth the investment? Also your comments on case bite....add to that strap buckle bite.
Arthur, I have had wonderful experiences with Calton Cases. They are extremely tough and the new ones are much lighter than the old ones :-) If you find yourself traveling a bunch a specific flight case is a fantastic investment :-) Cheers!!!
Happy Birthday, Tony!!!! You and I share the same birthday, although 31 years apart.
Happy Birthday to you!!!
I feel GREAT to be here as well :)

I can't count the number of times I've picked up an empty case and spilled the contents of the storage box - especially if its in a dark room - and you never find all the picks and capos, etc. that you started with.
Tony, Great guitar case no-no's. How about a list of tips on keeping a guitar safe while flying?
Love that idea :-)
And don't leave the case open on the floor in a dark place. Those latches hurt, and the hinge straps are not meant to absorb the blow from you're tripping over it.
Case latches do hurt... I kicked one with my barefoot on accident and still have a scar... definite guitar case no-no :-)
Wow! Shane's guitarsanal is larger than my local music store.
It's still growing, too. I've added a few since that pic was taken.
I have a TONE RITE and all my (high end) guitars are improved ! It is really a magic apparatus that changes your "old" sound in a real vintage, high end top quality guitar sound !

Also stubbing your toe on an open latch in the dark is a misery only second to stepping a Lego brick in the dark.
This is pretty much the most accurate statement ever... I still have a scar on my foot from a case latch/

You smile and tune the guitar but deep inside you, all you want to do is take it home get new strings, humidify the poor guitar and then polish and oil it and then restring it and give it all the tlc it deserves.

Germarié de Kock spread the guitar love and do it for your colleague :-)
Oh trust me I tried convincing him, but only succeeded in telling him to get new strings and then I will help him with polish and oil part. However, another plan is to let him practice on my one guitar while I give his guitar tlc :-D
That sounds like a great idea!
Thanks for the additional motivation worldtenor! I had success in convincing him 😎
This makes my heart happy!
#smallwin yesterday I swapped out the strings on my d-18 for a set of the mid tension Santa Cruz strings. What a great feeling and sounding set of strings!
Not a #smallwin but a #biglose: I have a Taylor 114e with a soft case that can be worn as a backpack. Guess what? I forgot to zip up the case, fling the case over my right should and *wham*, Guitar went flying out right onto the concrete ground below it. Split the top and had a huge gash in the headstock.
Sean, We are sending our guitar geek condolences to you, sorry to hear about the damage, but hopefully you can find a local luthier that will help put your six string friend back together :-)
Acoustic Life I did! It’s got a huge scar and now my guitar has far more character than it did before. #smallwin
John Paul White and Joy Williams were awesome in the Civil Wars. Unfortunate they no longer perform together.
i think the martin ox2mae is actually a 000rs1
Anyone have a summary of the tips?
This is probably old news but where is Levi?
Nice☺

Hellooooooo from Millbrook, NY!
Shane B with my weekly check in from Bristol, TN. Most EPIC episode yet! And I'm not just saying that because you featured my small #GUITARSENAL. Thanks by the way. Only three weeks left until Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion. You guys should really feature it on Acoustic Tuesday. We have Old Crow Medicine Show headlining this year, and Molly Tuttle is going to be here as well. www.birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/festival/

Great Guitar Vid.... Honestly, I actually thought that was a Jack Black figure, not just a Jack Nicholson AKA: Jack Torrance figure..... I call em as I see em... LOL! Thank you for the education!!
I learned the hard way to treat my guitar like Grandpa. You don't leave Grandpa in the trunk or a hot vehicle...
LOL
