Marty, something I want to learn, it's more about the nstrument itself, how do you protect your strings of oxidating? I have an strat and a acoustic and my string are aways oxidating so quickly, like one month and it's done. What I can do to protect them a lil bit more?

[ReePa666999666999]

On Monday I toured the Martin guitar factory, what an amazing place. If you are ever in the Philadelphia area, you have to check it out. The tours are free!!! While I was there I got to play one of these DCPA3's... it plays beautifully. It was amazing to see how much is done by hand and the level of craftsmanship that goes into them. They said that the average Martin guitar takes 3 months start to finish. Marty, I will send you a few pics from where your guitar was made.

After many of Marty's lessons, I decided to upgrade my acoustic so I bought a Martin DC-16RGTE eight months ago and I love it. It also has the aurora pickup in it. Can't say enough good things about that guitar.

[Finester92]

marty with a martin xD

[funguy4utube]

Marty .. I just bought a second acoustic as did you .. a Martin (new DX1R) .. dreadnaught .. (I have had my Guild D-35 for 20 years) .. when I got the Martin home I noticed it did not have a strap button .. just the hole .. when I noticed it I called the store .. they said, "that is normal .. you have to add the strap button" ... is that true ? Also any tips on type to use to add or how ?

Almost goes without saying but I will > you are like fantastic .. like a guitar buddy !

[TheMagicalGuitarist]

I Am 18 nd even i started into music and guitar nw :D !!!

[hawg427]

I was messin with our Praise leader at our church last Sunday, he was saying his guitar was going out of tune and I told him sell that Taylor and buy a Martin (like me) and it would stay in tune. LOL The other guitarist, who sells Taylor said yea, but you have to play those Martins. LOL We all had a good laugh. I love my Martin HD-28. I really didn't like the new series as much. Don't get mr wrong, every guitar for every person but I think you get more pure guitar with the traditional Martins

[weird519]

Rush something for nothing

[ilovetacos62]

enough of this acoustic guitar shit man get some new electric songs in by modest mouse float on system of the down songs man come on thumbs this up so marty can see it and if u agree with me

[eeerrrrmmmm]

You're an awesome guy Marty. You just seem like a genuinely nice person. I hope to see you sometime in my life because I have a feeling that you have lots of interesting stories to tell.

[jeferstrings]

go to the Martin factory in Nazareth PA I did, it was great!

[squigmasta97]

Marty. Eruption. You know it has to be done.

[PDOpsps]

marty

a lot of artists use one mic for the guitar and another one for the voice when playing in gigs but normaly they play bossa nova but u could try that too.

[pivotkid82]

[MrSkateHeavan]

[andreschou]

[asdfalex12345]

Why can you afford so great stuff martin ;_;

[metallifreak1]

Do A7x - So far away!! please... that would be sooooo awesome!!

[KingofDeath]

Pause at 0:53

[strabbs1]

now thats a lesson, marty jamin with his dad!!!! thumbs up anyone?

[kassemir]

"Hard to create that acoustic sound".

Isn't that why a lot of guys would just mike the instrument, I know Rory Gallagher just had a mic in front of the guitar or mandolin when he was playing acoustic.

Or was that more because it was the 70's?

[MrSethwild]

Im prolly your biggest fan, when i started watching your shit i could barely strum a bar chord, but now i would consider myself an ok/good guitarist, it would be cool if you started coming out with more complicated acoustic lesson, with more finger picking and what not......just saying

[fAlexTV]

Hey Marty, I really admire you're teaching skills... so I want you to teach us all a really sweet song that I really really love ... The song name is Say Goodnight - by Bullet For My Vallentine.. and acoustic it's sounds great... So please , please can you do a leason? :) Thank You !

Please thumbs up!

[beverlin66]

[domeee11]

[MultiAirGunner]

[DontRunWithDaScissor]

@siyang2 If I were you, I'd just pick whichever one catches your eye

[wira10100]

Marty i just wanted to say that you've learned me to play guitar , my parents said like how did you learn to play guitar that fast. I said a really cool guitar teacher from youtube and smiled ;)

[edogal97]

hey Marty can you do So far Away- a7x

[TheMusicVideo3000]

Marty!

Everything you touch is worth 100 times what it was from the beginning!

You know why?

Because you are our GOD!

[ClashKev]

Hey Marty ! I've been following your lessons and I just got my guitar 30min ago and can already do a few things thanks to you! (you are really good) So i was just wondering if you could do a lesson on anything from EDDIE VEDDER or THE KOOKS!

CHEERS! ;)

[johnslivoski]

Good one Marty. May it play long and true.

[able2biteme]

is maton or martin better in general??

[Patskiees09]

Costs $4,200 here in Australia

[cooliocoolio09]

first guitar i owned was an Indiana scout dreadnought cut away guitar. i still have it today and even though its cheep its the only guitar ill ever use. my guitar also has a built in tuner, nothing better than having one. but back to the point, im not a small guy, so the only guitar ill use is a dread, just feelts better, and ive been spoiled by a cut away so i cant go to an original style. point is im glad marty has the same mine frame as me

[oneandonlyrisenangel]

the inside of that guitar looks like a look into the past at the crucifixtion

[CustodioRichmond]

Marty what do you think about the OMC-Aura?? I want to get it but I don't know yet

[syffuf25]

After my 77 year old grandpa started taking guitar lessons I figures it would be as good a time as any to pick up a guitar and learn how to play. So in April I got a Yamaha FG730S, and I absolutly love it. Priced for a beginner but a great sound and very playable. Course I'm just starting to play so my opinion probably doesn't mean a whole lot, but figured I'd throw it out there.

[soccerguitarmex]

you should do a lesson on carlos santana's solo on "into the night" thumbs up so he can see!!!

[tolislove]

man, really , does marty has a guitar brand , I almost dont understand english lol

[ccmccooke]

@Hamzie11

[MARCOCIENI]

@hamzie11 hahahahaahahahah

[pincmin]

@hamzie11 hahahaha

[tubesteakbooky]

dont like it

[siyang2]

does he have a video on how to pick new acoustic guitars?

[CheSterXz0z]

Marty can you give tips on how to reduce feedback on stage? I use three pedals one is a noise suppressor and it helps a little but I still get a lot of feed back. I know the basics like now stand close and or facing your amp but do you know any equipment or any other tips to help?

[coldmetal94]

why don't you buy a nylon guitar??

[backtrackx]

can you connect you new guitar on an amp??

[LoganLive09]

what happened to the pic guard on your m36 is that line on it just what it looks like or has it built up a little character over the years?

[BigPimpin4646]

I now pronounce Marty's favorite chord as "D".........LOL

[RBcigarboxguitar]

Nice new guitar Marty. And thanks for all the lessons, you make a difference in my playing

[ubk95]

1 person is really jealous of ur new guitar :D

[ubk95]

i wish i had a guitar like that :P

[gregs9664]

i have a martin!!!

[CMSpida]

[CMSpida]

MARTY PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OTHER THE NEW ONE SOUNDS LIKE CRAP

[TheKetch54]

Marty

Could you please play Jorma Kaukonen's Genesis my girl friend wants to learn it. I told her you were the best.

Thank You

theketch54

[sempei58]

great sound! Nice guitar....only if? Perhaps you should do a review on some budget guitars for beginners, not everyone can afford expensive guitars. Maybe price categories.....Around $500, then up to $1,000 etc

[RBcigarboxguitar]

@sempei58 check out Zager guitars. For the money they play better and sound as good as guitar2X-3X more. I have the Mahogany Big Baby and it out plays most of the guitars I have picked up.

[MrPaintballman33]

its awesome cause just a couple days after you bought yours i went out to guitar center to buy a Martin 000CX1E. i couldn't be happier and i learned 99.89% of what i know today thats to your lessons i got through my email and here on youtube. so thank you greatly for this and i would not even know a G chord if it wasn't for you. and im sure everybody else feels the same way. thank again form your biggest fan.

[tolislove]

does marty has a guitar brand?

[youbuckfutter]

@tolislove yes he owns cf martin. (his full first name is martin)

[juacoredx]

@tolislove lol wt no

[grapic11]

not gonna lie... that little lick/run around 2:55 was really nice marty

great.

[sawyerbobby]

Marty,can you please tell me the advantages of different types of guitar wood types?

and I was one of those people that commented looking for your old guitar.

[cbennz514]

@sawyerbobby European and Sitka Spruce are most common for topwoods today. While European Spruce is more brittle, but is richer in overtones and has a very clear tone color which is ideal for fingerpickers. Sitka is more springy and has a more rounder, warmer tone which is ideal for flatpickers. Brazilian rosewood is typically the choice for sides and backs. It's brittle, but is very acoustically live. Maple backs muffle the reverb and is ideal for jazz and bluegrass. Hope this helps!

[sawyerbobby]

@cbennz514 this is the specs of my guitar: Top: Solid Sitka spruce

Back and sides: Nato (eastern mahogany)

Neck: Nato

Fingerboard and bridge: Rosewood

I play from finger picking to strumming, what do you think?

[cbennz514]

@sawyerbobby Typically Mahogany (as well as Koa) is highly variable in their physical properties compared to rosewoods and maples. The denser the Mahogany the more it will ring (like rosewood), while the lighter and looser the wood is, it will sound more mellow and somewhat muted. With necks and fingerboards what's most important is how it's cut (strait grained, without irregularities) and not so much on what type of wood it is. Even though it's cheaper, rosewood makes a better bridge than ebony

[sawyerbobby]

@cbennz514 this all a bit complicated but thanks,i gotta look up all this stuff

[cbennz514]

@sawyerbobby Yeah, it can get very complicated and this is just the beginning. There's different bracing systems, the guitar shape, bridge placement, voicing the face, yada yada yada... I'm in the process of building my own guitar and bought a few books on the dynamics and physics of it. Prior to this I was completely clueless. It's not just a box made out of wood it turns out :)

[sawyerbobby]

@cbennz514 i know about the fret affecting sound,but other than that meh.... you're making your own guitar? i wanna see a finished product video!

[nnjjiiu]

Hey Marty!, the Black RINGS under your eyes are telling me that you need some sleep Bro!!!

[TheSmedleys]

Hey wassup, Marty! Yep Martin make some beautiful guitars. But way expensive for most of us :-( Any chance you could review a few good cheap acoustics for us plebs on a budget who want to make a change from electric ? Pretty please?

[Tbagged0909]

damn. does the built in tuner need charging?

[Poenut]

Soo weird. I just played my first Martin the other day at a Guitar Center, instantly fell in love, and have been obsessing over them ever since....and now this video. I think it's a sign....a sign that I should have one ;) What beautiful beautiful guitars Martin makes. No wonder they're so legendary.....and expensive, heh.

[UnceBobTouchedMe]

i would buy gibson for that cash

[ZanmaruV2]

@UnceBobTouchedMe Martin > Gibson for acoustics

[jude924]

@UnceBobTouchedMe Really, Why?
