Look for the subtle magic zap you get when you pick up the right one. It's in your favor for you to choose and not for anyone else to make up your mind for you.
I have a Martin and an old Jap Mountain that's a Martin copy.
@johnhguitar very true.i went out to buy a jumbo acoustic a few years ago, i wanted a loud boomy tone for about £500, (i live in london) so i went to sound control who had the biggest collection of guitars in europe, (or so they claimed) and did the yamahas, the takamines the cheap end martins and fenders and epis and hated em all.just as i was about to leave the store a £350 tanglewood caught my eye, dont know why! and open g later and i was walikng to the till.it was an instant connection!
@andr3wbr1an it's a soprano size ukulele. For something in that price range you definitely won't get something as good a martin, nowhere even close. for that price i would get a lanikai soprano or a concert lanikai. Once you get some skill you should definitely get your hands on a martin or a pono - the only two i would recommend.
Johns a legend, i think he has ADHD, the way he seamlessly goes from explaining the theory of the Uke to playing that wee insane song, fucking magic, very imformative.
hey man, I tried to send you an message, but can't do it 'cause I'm not a friend of yours.. :)
anyway, just wanted to ask you.. can you do a comparison or just reviews of godin 5th ave kingpin and hagstrom hj500.. they are almost the same price..
I am from venezuela, colombia and venezuela share the same typical music ( musica llanera, joropo) and the main instrument is the cuatro, I don`t now how to tune a ukelele but looks like a cuatro, thanks for your comment,,,
great lesson and I have to tell you I love the song whats the name of it please
back to learning it I understand as I just started playing the mandolin and I never thought I would but I am learning it a lot faster than I did the guitar and then it hit me its because all the years of playing guitar and just a little re- learning so the uke has to be the sam
now to sneak one in the house when the wife isn't looking LOL!
Great review, playing, singing, and humor!
