      Guitar playing is hard, or any instrument for that matter. if playing something simple infront of an audience motivates that person to learn more than why are we judging? That is my opinion at least.

      I don't get it? I'm just learning to play guitar and Wonderwall is one of my favorite songs. Been learning how to play it and Live Forever and I'm having a blast. It's tough and definitely not easy, but it's still really enjoyable. Is it bad to play those songs or something? I legitmately don't understand the joke.

      @@nighterrors4178 Im new to play guitars as well, I think the reason why people laugh when they hear that song is because its really easy but it sounds hard, so all these people that never played guitar think "wow hes so good" and the people that play guitar just think "thats one basic song"

    My grandfather had a rare guitar, although I believe it was appraised at more than 125,000 I used to handle it and would help load his stuff whenever he was going to perform. It was a 1929 Martin 12 string only 2 made , if I remember correctly. Grampa was a professional storyteller, and Texas historian.

Just because a certain bluegrass fan only plays a guitar one way doesn't mean everyone who owns a CFMartin only plays that way. There is a reason the guitar is [beat up] worn other than scratches on the pick guard.

      Joy Benko I agree that's why people buy Martin's (D-28s specifically) to play the greatest genre of music not pop or rock any of those genres that nobody really gives a crap about.
      We need more people to come to Bluegrass Festivals.
      And that dude, Gary I could tell that he's a Bluegrasser by the g run he did at the start of the video.
      And the guy that posts videos on this channel that we're watching this awesome video from, I guess doesn't use a pick a lot but I think he should start using picks at all times and learn How to do a g run and start playing Bluegrass, he should stop playing whatever genre of music that he plays forever; and start playing Bluegrass and Country, two of greatest genres of music of all time. He should also learn how to play Mandolin and Banjo as well.
      Then get a Band started.

      the microphone on the camera does not do the old martins justice. I got to play a 1939 d-28 (a 50,000 dollar martin) that a local luthier (who happened to have built a banjo for the banjo player in bill monroe's band). The feel, the aura, the sound that came from that instrument, it was like nothing else. I have yet to find a guitar that came close.

      Noah Aikens I wonder how much of the aura, the feel and the magic of the sound would still be there if you'd just been handed an instrument without being told what/how old/expensive it is.
      I've never seen a proper double blind, and I doubt a lot of the antique/high end instruments would justify the price difference.

      Part of the beauty of a thing like the guitar is that it was an antique. It wasn't a replica of anything. It is the object of which replicas are made. They are bought for the same reason as antique furniture. There is a rarity to them. If you want a guitar that will become an antique, like a lowden, collings any high end guitar really, buy it now. Their value will increase, both sentimental and economic. But if you want an heirloom now, welll, I guess you might want to drop a butt ton of money. It's a matter of personal taste I guess

Living in Imperial towers, marine drive, altamount road or any of the sort could set you back up to $10 million. A mansion? upwards of 30 million. You couldn’t dream of living there. 😂 India’s become the butt of everyone’s jokes but tbh we don’t care! We’re the fastest growing economy on the planet, we’re expected to overtake the USA by the late 2020s and we have a history so vast and had wealth so incredible that the west couldn’t even dream of! The only reason the British could even take us over was because at the time we were deeply divided into small princely states. We had missiles that the British had to take home to reverse engineer because of their superior range and power (mysorean rockets), search up the city of Jaisalmer, you’ll see the havelis and houses that the average person used to live in. We have himalayas in the north, tropical beaches, rainforests and mountains in the south and east, desert in the west, arid land in the middle, tropical islands, etc... Search this up too: India had the largest GDP on the planet from the ancient era all the way up to 1200AD and then once again in the Mughal era. The complexity of engineering was far beyond the IQ of western engineers at this time. We possess ancient civilisations like the Indus valley civilisation (a civilization so advanced at the time that even Egypt seemed backwards (they had toilets in each house, underground sewage, universities, drainage, mills, etc... in 3000BC!) For most of history, India and China were leading (Chinese culture massively originated from India, buddhism is from India, the worlds oldest university nalanda university is from India), the west had a small period of leadership from the 1600s and now its about to end again. India and China will once again rule the world...

    I hope you enjoyed you conjugal visit with that guitar. To me that's not worth the money, but really cool to see.

    My self modified Martin DX1AE sounds very similar especially on fingerpicking.
    Like those mini buzz and all perfect imperfections

      Sounds a bit better, but you mainly pay extra for better woods and build so they feel nicer to play, and are easier to play. This one is only 125k because of the rarity and collectors value on it though. Sounds the same as any other martin that costs 15x less

      You can read that as "I can't afford it, so I'm gonna say that a cheap ass guitar is just as good for my own comfort".
      Truth be told, this guitar is extremely expensive. A Taylor or a Martin in the $8k range are already godamn perfect in sound, playing, feel, comfort, craftmanship etc, you name it. I would totally buy a Taylor PS14ce if I could afford it, but it's way out of my range...
      Benedetto might be the only one to be at the very top of the line of high end guitars.

      No a $80. Guitar will not sound better but a $150. Ibanez acoustic I have sounds just as good:)
