Martin Backpacker Acoustic Guitar

[hokanut]

Guitweapon.Gotta git me wonathose! Nice playing btw.

[guitargeek1122]

some have pickups. when i play in our school jazz band, i will use mine, because my other guitar that i use all the time could get warped or even worse. there are alot of mean kids on my bus ):

[paintballz4ever]

it reminds me of some medieval weapon lol. I think when I buy this guitar I will name it STEVE THE BARBARIAN lol

[KoolThing14]

Oh! I didn't specify which part, the main riff, during the spoken portion, if you would please. Thank you, very much.

[KoolThing14]

Hey I dont know if you read these comments very often, but could you do me a favor? You see, I'm in a Weezer tribute band and I'm looking at one of these and I'm wondering how the sweater song would sound, if you've ever heard that. Could you possibly make a demo video of yourself playing it? Thanks in advance, if not thanks anyway.

[deathslice60]

MAN! how many guitars do you have!! :O LOL and i love the sound and music the guitar does! i want one~ :)

[harpzila]

Washburn Rover is MUCH better. Sound quality, comfort and price. DO NOT buy Martin Backpacker!!!! It is a POS. GO WITH THE WASHBURN ROVER.

[Taud]

@harpzila dude, the rover is made in CHINA countless people have had problems with it being shipped with glue smeared around the case and permanent stains on the finish, the back packer is made in MEXICO as in the same land mass as the majority of us, it also has a much nicer neck and body that are hand rubbed with oil rather than a nasty feeling sticky gloss, the body IS much better on the WB rover, but those points i stated defeat the nicer body

[CrystalSparks007]

lol I have one of these and it throws people off so bad. I carry it places and get it out and people give me the weirdest looks.... xD But yeah, that is one of the downsides, it is pretty tinny sounding. But for what it is, I think it's great! And it takes up no space at all :)

[samuraistalin]

I kinda like the tinny sound.

[25icehockey]

i love your goldtop. hope its not an epiphone

[filipinomancombat]

how do you keep the bears away?

[777jordan]

it's too bad it's made in Mexico :( is there anyone made in USA?)

[darkmachete]

I got that same model. Bought it about two months ago and I absolutely love it. Especially when you can play some delta blues on it. It sounds really backwoods! :D

[Songwriter4God]

1:16 lol. I\ want one of these. Went to the Martin factory in Nazareth yesterday and decided it'd be a good idea to get one. It's small so it can fit like, anywhere. Nice video by the way.

[abucket888]

who cares about the action up high. that's not what this guitar is for.

[Songwriter4God]

@abucket888 Exactly, this is a guitar for traveling, not playing lead.

[LongBoardCruisers]

is this good for a intermediate? im looking for an acoustic guitar with cutaway to cover some rock songs acoustic version. but this caught my eye. mind giving some tips thanks ? and is it easy to handle it cos it looks small haha.

[Chuckdavis54]

you play that little guitar good and make it sound real good. I been looking at the Martin Backpacker, Big Baby Taylor, Taylor GS mini. but today i bought the Blackbird Super OM carbon Guitar.

[macintologist04]

Thank you for actually playing it properly unlike these other stupid videos where they talk too much and don't do anything with it

[Flareon221SH]

Is Backpacker guitar just the more portable version of a regular acoustic guitar??

[Glockenator]

I played one of these earlier today, and I didn't really like it. Like you said the action was high, and it was just too small.

[alikkrashtan]

where does 0:59 come from?

[IplayMusic2]

@alikkrashtan It's "Tie Your Mother Down" by Queen. Thanks for checkin' it out.

[marceloiacovone]

In my opinion, its pointless....

its not small enough to change from a normal guitar, in case your searching for compact stuff.

[TheCrackSpackle]

@marceloiacovone

it is not pointless... I take it with me when i go backpacking for days. there is no way i would be able to carry a large guitar. ITs made for people who go backpacking not for people who just like portability.

[alikkrashtan]

0:56 - where does it come from, sounds very familiar

[eatthemoon13]

Love Martin but i see why everyone hates this i just sent mine back and do not see the washburn rover being any better. Im buying a parlor guitar there cool anyway

[blackmorejimi]

I know the song. Led Zeppelin it is my favorite along with Pink Floyd

It fits very well with the sound of this guitar

Thanks for been so kind !!

[blackmorejimi]

hey man

whats the name of the song that you first played??

[IplayMusic2]

@blackmorejimi The Maj 7th chords were the chords under the lead guitar part of "Ten Years Gone" by Led Zeppelin. Look it up, it's a great tune. Thanks for asking, I hope that helps.

[DrIntrebec]

the bears would stay away cause of its awesomly awesomeness :-|) 5/5 great vid nice accent

[DamianSix66]

Was just looking at one on ebay and thought id see if there was a Youtube vid , thanks for uploading mate . Watch out for those bears !

[PuPPeTlad]

yeah i just bought one on youtube, there really cheap

[PuPPeTlad]

wow you shred man, even on that tiny thing

[cossatotfalls]

keeps The BEARS AWAY!!! lol

[JimmyWistisen]

Hey. I just got a Martin Backpacker Guitar.

You should try checking out my fingerpicking videos ;)

[coop344]

I sure love mine but if somebody knows where I can get a good hard case for it please let me know. The soft nylon case just doesn't protect it well.

[impulse60]

Also great for paddling your canoe and stirring your soup!

[kadaj2172]

well i think im guna buy one. I know a guy on ebay that sells these for about $30 and I would like one.

[PuPPeTlad]

the cheapest i could find was around 200 inc ship costs

[eatthemoon13]

@kadaj2172 Does he still have some? can u send me a link thanks.

[BackwardsBreadFilms]

you should be the official spokesperson for the backpacker, and just talk about bears.

and only bears.

[profjaykay]

keep the bears away 5/5

[amazingdany]

It's perfect for Sunday guitar players like myself!

I don't think it's made to shred like Page or Hendrix, but for impressing ladies with a kwik song, it should do the job... (hu hu)

[ZINOMAC40]

ok thanks bro

[ZINOMAC40]

damn bro what a deal $69 for a martin do you know if this deal is still going on at guitar center ??

[borntoball15x]
