[slimwreck666]

[uzickimajmunac]

what is the price of that pickup?

[smitty1ky]

DAMNIT! I WROTE A SONG THAT SOUNDS JUST LIKE THAT THAT YOU PLAYED AT 1:36! :( here I was thinkin I was being creative..... :( :(

[MCMAK9]

@smitty1ky it always happens to me, I hate when that happens.

[PetCemetaryDude]

@smitty1ky I hate when that happens. :D

Anyway, i'm sure he was playing ''Dust in the wind'' by Kansas. Check it out.

[puntzpatz007]

[ELEANOR320TD]

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! LOL

[jeffdlt]

Dirk Nowitzki on the guitar.:-D

[Realkill010]

Thank you, you're the man.

[ForbesGuitar]

hes got a 1000 mile stare

[singer1499]

7:07 ha ha ha

[Steve564ify]

What if you have f holes?

[EpiphoneArchtopLover]

@Steve564ify you'll need a piezo pickup that goes under the bridge. i'd suggest a K&k brand piezo for an archtop. I have one in my 1940 Epiphone Emperor, and it's fantastic

[FingerBoard420]

Hey David can you guys do some thing with Soundhole Cover and O port?

[TheAKprogram]

does the pickup ever get in the way when your playing?

[prathiajit1]

What equipment does he use at the end to make the sound reverb... Please Reply!

[edviser]

@prathiajit1 Amp, ofc 

[xXxDANMANxXx]

I want the sound that nirvana got on the unplugged in new york show

[NewDuppyConqueror]

push rapidly 8 on your keyboard :)

[ODonnell94]

@NewDuppyConqueror arse...

[NewDuppyConqueror]

4:37 the cameraman gets a phonecall

[Thazzmaname]

next time, make sure that the "live" sound of the acoustic guitar isn't just as loud as the sound that's coming out of the amp. that adulterates the result quite a bit.

and plugging an acoustic into an amp for an electric isn't too good an idea either: these speakers have literally no response above 5 to 6 kHz; that's where the sparkle of an a-guitar hasn't even started. in combination with such a magnetic pickup you will get a sound that's closer to the clean sound of an electric.

[van1980]

So, why buy an EA if you can just mount a $60 pickup in a better sounding guitar?

[93cian]

@van1980 It's probably mostly about convenience. You don't have to keep switching the pick up in and out every time you want to switch between acoustic and electric. You also get a much tidier cable at the bottom instead of at the sound hole and the EQ/volume controls mentioned. Maybe a better pickup too. It costs more but for someone playing a lot it would probably be worth it.

[1996PhYcOmExIcAn]

how much does the pick up cost

[wtdakata]

can I pu a pickup on a classical guitar(the 1,2,3 strings are nylon)?

[gabrielthemexican]

@wtdakata yes

[sasuke0kaiza]

5:00 hehe love the sound

[6Balf9]

i love the blank stare he gives you shilw hes playing

nice backwards hat douche

[dannyexistance23]

Can this make rock?

[jmmagicman123]

if you muting the strings and strumming soes your hand not hit the pickup?

[andy92811]

Awesome I'm getting this one if I do. Easy to install is what I need. lol.

[arthur84]

If an acoustic with a microphonic pickup is an acoustic-electric, what's do you call a guitar with both transducer and magnetic pickups?

[whatsmyname252]

dang i didnt learn anything

[TheDGUITAR]

sorry 7:12

[TheDGUITAR]

7:13 over and over

[kevinsotote]

play 5:50 rapidly (lol)

[tomasgonzza]

you know theres something about these guys that just makes me smile :D

[christainguitarguy]

you ever wondered why they lable bass mids and high on an acoustic.. but on an electric all it says is volume and tone.... why cant they put the full eq on most electrics? btw these pickups are a life saver... i found a bedell guitar that i want but its just acoustic.. wich means i would have to carry a mic everywhere i take the bedell if i was performing with it.... with these just throw it into the guitar case and go.

[dragonzith]

@christainguitarguy most electric Guitars come with passive pickups unlike that of Acoustics. If you get a guitar with Active pickups that come with an internal preamp, examplae ESP's. You get the chance to EQ your mids , lows and trembles. Of course the guitar will cost more. 

[demonfox5132]

Hey where can I get electric acoustic guitar sound good and very good guitar to use

[kronol0gy]

Hm, I should have watched the whole video first. Beautiful Martin and now I have another pickup to consider.

Btw, forgot to add that APX and CPX guitars have beautiful electronics but not so good acoustic sound.

[kronol0gy]

I've played the APX-500, FX-310 and FG700S and dislike all of them. The FX-310 had ultra high action too. But maybe I'm just unlucky because I've heard great things about them.

[johnjoy76]

Do you need an amp designed for an acoustic guitar or will any guitar or bass amp work with an acoustic -electric guitar?

[ChickenVendetta]

@johnjoy76 Any amp will work as long as it has a 1/4 inch input. (That's standard guitar jack size, so you're probably good.)

[TheLittleMusicDo]

does this worl with bronze strings or do they have to be steel??

[TheReighnart]

Yamaha doesn' t make bade guitars. Plain and simple. I have a $150 Yamaha that is loud, and has excellent intonation. Seriously, the thing tunes like a dream.

[EvilBenson]

Yamaha is well known for their "cheaper" acoustic's that just seem to be amazing. I have a FG700S, and it's amazing. I've played other more expensive guitars (not by much, maybe $300) and it doesn't have the boom that my guitar has. But of course, it's all personal preference. Really dig Taylors.

[dragonzith]

I'm having this idea of putting this pickup on a already acoustic/electric guitar. I will use the acoustic output on a separate channel and have the pickup connected to an effects channel.

[dragonzith]

I love this guy but wherever he go goes he has the wost camera team...

[ampallang7]

Thankyou very bloody much!

[DanskeSange]

Can i also use that acoustic pickup on a classical nylon guitar?

Please answer, i really need to connect it to my amp! :-)

[McNugget4409]

that guy's a tool

[seekah1]

@McNugget4409 wheres your video then?

[leathoforganicplasti]

anything you would do to it it still sounds like an acustic guitar :) :P

[RedRoosterbabam]

@FuzzyRat13 The Seagull S6?

[DakotaPlaysGuitar]

4:07 is the most awkward thing ever

[u2ber87]

Can a pick-up be de-atached and applied on another guitar.

I have classical and acoustic, and they both need som electronics.

Please reply.

[Quakelord1991]

Do you have to turn your amp volume all the way up when you're attempting to add a pickup to your acoustic guitar?

[jojolovesoccer]

how much are those pick-up things?

[BoredMunkey]

lol play 3:08 over and over

[ukgukgukg]

@BoredMunkey i dont get it haha

[urDecision1]

@BoredMunkey haha, kinda borat :D

[RigorMortis203]

can i buy one of those and put on my classical guitar?

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

no, nylon strings will not interact with the pickup

[tealeafk]

ive been thinking about the martin thinline 332 but i want to be able to hear it first and i dont think thats an option

[tealeafk]

what are some good pickups for under a hundred bucks

i heard some cheap ones make you guitar sound tinny and cheap

[bassgodo2]

how do you take it off

[survogis]

what's the chord you are playing in the very beggining?

[GTAPenner]

@survogis i think it should be a F#m :)

[survogis]

Nope, actually it's Em ;D

[OC703]

It's an EmAdd9 (played as: 024000)

[survogis]

So that's how it's called :)

[Arbifrau]

you play the guitar so well and you are very personable!

[sausageboy14]

does this work with classical guitars?

[KostekButter]

@sausageboy14

nope, u need metal strings

[danielsuser]

No - It HAS to have all 6 strings being metallic.

[theebenezer11]

where do u buy it

[sausageboy14]

saw it at guitarcenter bro

[2009martin92]

can you add effects like distortion, etc. to it ?

[tuksedoken]

would this also work with a spanish guitar?(i fear the nylon strings are going to give problems)

[jagjaghuh]

Wont work on nylon strings

[fajnycycek]

piezo is a chep, popular horrible sounding crap!!!

LR Baggs M1 rules!!!

[bunsenhoneydew111]

you could drill a hole in the bottom of the guitar or whichever part and stick the wire through their so it doesnt get in the way when playing

[MusicologoImperfecto]

@bunsenhoneydew111 LOL I WOULN'T DRILL A HOLE ANYWHERE IN A GUITAR.... anyways... yeah it's cool... if you can't afford an electric acoustic guitar... though that cable will get in your way when playing.... if ur recording, i suggest you get a good condenser mic to record it.. they sound awesome.... if U'll play live, buy a pick up, they are not expensive.. like 70 bucks or so... anyways... later guys

[antzcold]

those things are shit, since they are either singlecoil or humbuckers the acoustic guitar just sounds like a clean e-guitar...need to go piezo at least

[TENGKUOAIDIL]

all yamaha acoustic guitar are good

[IronManTan77]

true that

[KarlToth]

@TENGKUOAIDIL no they really are not :)

[loggsoul]

@TENGKUOAIDIL i agree , one of the best affordable instruments .

[erniecubero1995s]

bangbingbarabum xD morron

[IronManTan77]

bada bing bada boom... morron

[youngphats]

blewss god for u i was almost about to go the the store and pick up supplies and get the drills and glue guns and other stuff and do everything manually thank god we are in the 21st century

[jencington]

i dont give a shit about your guitar ! i just want to learn

[musicplayer317]

ive seen guitars with a pickup on the bridge. I could probably use this since i have a 3/4 sized guitar and a pickup like that wouldnt fit. is this only on the built in acoustic electric guitars or can you buy it seperately?

[Buffalo49]

Do you have acoustic strings, or electric guitar strings on your Martin? Wouldn't the magnetic pickup work better with electric guitar strings?

[Killdozer6006]

Electric and accoutic guitar strings are designed differently and made from different materials typically. While you can put accoustic guitar strings on an electric guitar is usually a bad idea. Accoustic guitar strings are typically a much heavier gage and most electric necks are not designed to take the stress of heavy gage strings for prolonged periods.

[misunderstoodmarshan]

is it easy to take out too?

[2hafstylezk]

i was wondering the same thing lolz

[wishful324]

so why is it panned to the left...?

[bagelace]

nice vid man...im a begginer at guitar and i was wondering if it would work also on a nylon string guitar...since i have nylon and bronze strings it would be nice to have the pickup for both..

[antitaleban]

No, you'd need a different pickup for nylon strings. These soundhole pickups are similar to electric guitar pickups in that they are magnets that pick up electrical vibrations from steel strings. So they don't work on nylon strings, since nylon does not conduct electricity... But there are pickups designed for nylon strings, just that I'm not sure what they're called or where to find them.

[rambotyler]

cheers man cool vid

[drummerboy2591]

Great video man. It really helped. I want to start playing out with my martin D-28 and i wanted an inexpensive pickup to put in it that would involve no drilling or taking the strings out. Thanks a lot.

[kraziebuzzer10]

thx man forget all thos gay comments this good vid u talk alot but its kool dont trip !!!

[newsteadstuiosfx]

what about nylon stringed classical guitars???

[ELuTionisT]

id prefer a Taylor 910 ce

[Voe0123]

What a Fag :L

[skint0n0minted]

voe0123 - don't put yourself down like that

[kissez559]

stop taking so much

[sockmoptart]

thx just what i wanted to know. i didnt want to hurt my baby Leila. She is a Washburn D-36sdl

[Waylander904]

bada bing bata boom?? tu no parle italiano  jeeze lol but you did answer the question i was going to ask can i get a pick that fits into the sound whole

[dabbu4591]

ive got this idea here .....got an old acoustic with f holes ,wanna make it into a hollow body electric,so if i put in two humbuckers and a couple of knobs and a switch .....would that work ??

[journeyquest1]

Ive really got my eye on the yamaha cpx900. Probably my next acoustic steel string.

[wowsabaw]

ived just got this dean markley pro mag for my fender cd 60... and it sounds great.. now i can make live wiht my cd 60.. my very affordable cd 60..

[jegamecube]

I have the Promag Gold version of that pickup, and no matter how high I adjust the pickup to the low end, the 6th string doesn't get heard like I need it. Anybody use these regularly know how to fix that?

[antitaleban]

By the way, may I ask... Because I'm using an electric guitar solid state amplifier, and when I plug in my Woody, I don't hear anything until I raise the gain on the amp (the tone doesn't dirty up, it becomes louder but remains clean as I raise the gain). Is this normal, or is there something wrong with my Woody? Thanks!

[antitaleban]

Talking about soundhole pickups.. I have a Seymour Duncan Woody (singlecoil version) and it's nice, but thing is the pickup is quite large so it doesn't fit some acoustics. It is nice, though. Fits my Yamaha perfectly and it sounds great.

[BRboi777]

you sounded like billy mays when you were telling what product you need to turn an acoustic into a acoustic electric.

[rafalfaro1810]

are you using a preamp? is this the best acoustic pickup?

[rhoffer234]

he says "okay" wayy too fucking much...

[NatureLover987]

hey I got a Martin for my bday 10 or 12 years ago.. lol

it still sounds GREAT btw

[Chick6517]

This is so cool! hey thanks for uploading this video. I'm going to subscribe!

[edmonddantes64]

"When you get a chance Tim, I need you"

Classic, Youtube moment....I believe Alex Bell said something similar!!

[sheasmith160]

i hate yamahas...i have a yamaha f335 and its okay for the money...but it was priced at $150...i think there a littel bit cheaper now....

[Adrnnn]

are you idiot? 7 minutes just to say "buy a mic".. LOL!

[kkGULPkk]

hahahahahahahahahaha

seriously!!!

:)

[hotwheel320dwd]

dude do you need an acoustic amp????

[otaku3d]

I love the format, and the flow . the unedited part was a nice touch :) . highly addictive to see and i am not a guitar fan .

and example of remarkable product at low budget

cheers!!!,

[MiniMightyMan96]

how easy are these to take out?

[tomadamV600]

as easy as fitting in

[kkkuuuu]

when i slide the guitar does it make sound like the electric guitar?if its does make sound i going to get one

[yoshihayashi]

i hate the way this sounds. no offense

[fuckedsociety]

can i use this on any amp cus i know they make acoustic amplifiers but i do not have the extra money to purchase one

[CodyAllenmusic]

YES, Any amp with a 1/4 inch plug.

[robbwithnobeard]

how come in every guitar instructional video its always the same looking dude. they're always sitting infront of some elementry year book picture background and they either have some lame hat on or are clinging on to their long hair from 1991.

ps i hate the way he says pickup.

on the positive. these pickups do sound awesome if your not trying to spend 300 or more dollars on a nice electric acoustic.

[alex5291]

it is annoying! lol

[T3cHNo10GiC]

Tim get the guy some water while your at it dude. Nice review.

[cottonbobbers]

What exactly are guitar pickups and what do they do?

[ukulele102]

amplifies your guitar

[god3334]

WRONG, thats what an amplifire does, pickups PICKUP the string vibrations via magnets that turn the vabrations to a electrical signal sent to the AMPLIFIRE to be AMPLIFIED. MUA HAHAHAHHA, AWAY

[Ragpicker81]

You don't need to be angry people, I don't want to offend someone I was just trying to give you my opinion. I don't like his MTV style and his sound, that's what I think: if people would be left alone they would not relase public videos when other people could comment, positvely or negatively.

[kurtc0841n]

man i love all your vidoes, you ffucking ROCK!! what chord is it that you play at 3:33?

[pedro2590]

That's an Em9 it's an open e string, the second fret of the a string (a Bnote) and the fourth fret of the d string (an F#, or the 9) the rest of the strings are open - g, b, e

[JS5Thousand]

Man, this guy has bitchin' whites,

[tongueindirt]

thanks for the tutorial.

I found an acoustic guitar I like on the internet, and in the product description it says

"electronics: optional"

What does this mean?

could someone please help!

[robicool]

probably that you can also buy "just" the guitar, so itd purely be an acoustic, without all the pickup and controls etc. if youre just playing at home or to small crowds then theres no need to get an electro-acoustic...itd just cost more

[sirdiablos]

haha you notice the difference eh, Martin, Taylor and Gibson acoustics usualy sounds pretty awesome but you pay the price for that tone

[skooleskool]

4.06

[Ragpicker81]

I hate the way you talk, the way you look and the way you play :) and it seems you play the acoustic guitar into an electric guitar amp! horrible!!!!!

[LRMMcDonnell]

He's better than you.

[Ragpicker81]

I want to say I was not trying to offend him, and who is better is not the matter, I was saying I don't like his mtv-style of talking or the sound of acoustic guitar plugged into electric guitar amps.

[kurtc0841n]

youre suck a fucktard, ragpicker81, why dont you leave people alone

[fuckedsociety]

so you have to talk shit about him over youtube

theres alot of things i do not like and i go to all there bideos and talk shit about them. if he isnt hurting anybody then leave him alone

[PhocVi]

OK?

[alamak94]

hey, guys, erm can u tell me any beginner songs..btw ur vid are great..i'm following it...thanks...

~~

[corazondegrafito]

LOL I'm so high and watching this guy stumbling upon the camera just made my day!

[vasquezinus]

"when you get a chance tim i need ya!" lol i tht that was mad funny awesome lessons guys i love it to hell with expert village

[Metallurgical88]

rockongoodpeople!!

[Whitehorse79]

Bro, you are to cool as Axl Rose is to dick. I hope that when I go to recruit a band that I can find players with attitudes just like yours. Really good stuff, I'm learning a lot watching yer vids. Keep on rockin'!

[mhisk8isapunker]

thanks man i'm a beginner.:)

[WatchStation]

What amplifier did you use?

[background001]

Can it do the electric sound?

[robicool]

if you run it though an electric amp then they do sound kinda electric. moreso with distortion, but you get too much feedback...so..not really a good idea

[tongueindirt]

OK. Thanks

[StupidKupid777]

Awesome! I'm buying one of those tomorrow!

[all4tubekids]

cool!!

[salvamg89]

i have a question. i once saw a guy with one of these acoustic pickups on his acoustic guitar, only it was a humbucker. and it sounded really nice, like one of those gibson es 335 guitars. where do i get them from? i've been searching on google but i can't find them. is it possible that the guy made the pickup himself? damn i want it so bad

[jiminize]

can we make an acoustic into an electric, where we install a pickup into the guitar and can plug a lead into the acoustic just like a normal electric acoustic? i know this involves drilling a hole into the guitar.

[RFawakhiri92]

can you use that pickup to a classical guitar? does the guitar have to be a steel string only?

[WontFallVictim]

oh i'm sure you could...but iddunno if it'd sound the greatest...there must be certain ones for it to get that nylon soundin' better...so yah i'm just assuming that's how it goes though...check at a music store...

[litteldave]

It would not work with a nylon because the metal string creates a voltage as it passes the magnets in the pickup.

[Mudshark6]

u can use your line6 with no prob. probably you'll get some feedback if you crank it up too loud, but you can place a cover on the soundhole to prevent that

[sparks158]

how do u remove the pickup?

[diogion]

bravo

[Tonytheconquerer]

very educational vid,i just wonder when he coughed if the guitar got wet or the cat,seriously tho a cool demonstration.

[trowe76]

I like this guy and the guitar lessons, but the part where he is waiting for the guy to zoom it in is priceless!  haha
