Playing a vintage Martin 0018 guitar

I want to thank YouTube for featuring my 'This-n-That' video. I never dreamed this little clip would be so warmly received by the YouTube community. As a hobby guitar player, being seen by nearly a million viewers in less than 2 months could only happen here on YouTube.
Of all the comments that come in, the ones that speak of my videos encouraging them to either take up guitar or renew their interest in it are the most heartwarming. To hear that someone is inspired by them is deeply humbling. Thank you.

What year is that lovely martin?

1967 00-18

They do sound immeadiate as in a crisp Autumn day. The larger bodied ones have a delayed impact. Seem to hang around for hours for a 41 to hit you, but that's not a bad thing either....they're all gorgeous and have that trademark tinkling glass on the upper registers and that harpsichordery grind on the lower ones...if you know what I mean. I'm sure you do. These are Martins!

Your eloquence is matched only by the sound of a vintage Martin guitar.

Wow, you just took me on a 35 year trip back to my childhood when my dad played this for me on his Martin 00-18. Thanks for resurrecting a nice memory.

good job old man its amazing to play guitarr with theese big fingers xD but its very nice^^

You were playing it in the wrong key, you should put a capo at 7th fret for the right sound.

@DeerCountry2012 Yeah, I would love too tour The Martin Factory too that would be so kool since I have my dad's ole OM-18 Martin it needs some work but I've been told too leave it alone cause it will take the value away from it if I would have anyone touch it many people have offered but I've turned them down:)

@ImOnTheTube wow! Nice guitar I have a DC16 and a Rosewood but they are 2008 models,I wonder if they made the 60`s models differently or not?

I would love to visit the Martin factory just for the smell...bought a brandnew D-41 in 2004, still can smell that "new guitar smell" whenever I open the case. Even my old D-18 from 1972 ( bought 2nd hand in 1979 in Monterey ) still tickles my nose with it's odor of wood, glue, lacquer and unknown pickers...

@sosauto I lived about a mile away and had/have 3 relatives who work there. I toured several times and it's amazing!  (...as is the sound of the guitars!!!)

@DeerCountry2012 - I envy you - I'd love to tour the Martin factory
