Hello @rodneykitchen3869, it is nice that there really are alternatives to the Martin. I still record mostly with Recording King you see in the video as it just sits nicely in the mix(s). I do record with the Martin too but will lean more towards the RK for a session. Thank you for watching and your comment. 😀

Hello, my Martin in the video was Brand-New, I took it right out of the case and recorded that demo. Factory strings and no adjustments. It is now about a year old, and it really has opened up and sounds even better now. Thank you for watching and your comment. 😁

Hello @AgroPriesttv Thank you so much for watching and your very nice comment. 😄

@@RoderickNewport You are welcome

I love the sound of a trumpet, but I can't even get it to make a sound when I try. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😁

if your looking for an easy instrument to learn..... trumpet is not for you haha.

Hello @louisfryzel4618 thanks for watching. If it is possible, I recommend visiting your local Mom and Pop music store, somewhere you can try out a bunch of guitars including the RK 328. I have sold and played thousands of guitars and they all sound and play differently than each other, even the same brand and model, all play and sound different. You will want to try the V-neck out to see if you like it. I really like it and prefer it at this point, but everyone is different. Like I mentioned in a previous reply, one of the best guitars I have ever heard was a Martin, one of the worst guitars I have heard was a Martin. I think some pieces of wood want to grow up and be a table instead of a guitar😂 While you are comparing guitars you may find out the Expensive Guitar sounds and plays better than all, you may also find out that 180.00 guitar sounds and play better than all. I did a quick demo of a Recording King RDS-7 ($180.00) and I thought it sounded great, imo. Recording King RDS-7 quick demo link - ruclips.net/video/GISy5SbuR9w/видео.htmlfeature=shared

Hello @ramspencer5492 and thank you for watching and your comment. The Recording King and the Martin in the video are both pretty new. Both were bought about the same time, a little over a year ago now. On the video both guitars are “as is” from the factory, I didn’t do any adjustments or replace the strings. Those are the factory strings in that video. That Recording King is really starting to open up now. I use it on almost all of my recordings even though I have other guitars to use, including the Martin you see in the video. I think the Recording King RD-328 sits in the mix better than most of the guitars I own. I also like the fact I can take it to a studio and not worry about scratching a 3000.00+ guitar. 😁

Thank you for watching!!! 😁😁

Hi Mike! We did have fun doing this one. Glad you liked it!!!!! Thank you for watching!!!!!!! 😁😄😀

Thank you ole buddy! Got a Brand-New Hat for this one. Thank you as always for watching, I appreciate it. 😀😁😄

@mcfek7575 Thank you for watching and your comment. 😀

Great comment! Thank you for watching and your comment. 😁

Nobody is going to say, "We would have sounded better singing "Sweet Caroline" if you had used a Martin D28 rather than that Chinese guitar." Just reread that again, that was pretty funny!!!!! 😁Thanks again for the comment, hope your gigs are good ones!!!!!!

I have always said I think some pieces of wood just don’t want to be a guitar, maybe a table or something. I have sold and played thousands of guitars and every one sounds different. The worst guitar I have heard is probably a Martin, the best guitar I have heard is probably a Martin. I would not recommend buying any guitar online. You really need to hear and play the guitar before purchasing. If you can, find yourself a good Mom and Pop music store; somewhere that not only sells instruments but also does repairs. Thank you for watching and your comment! 😁

You got it! Got to play it.....I buy a mess from guitar center because I can ship it in and test it at the store....I rarely leave with the guitar....new ones I get all my money back....used ones I lose about 20.00 for shipping. Just returned a Recording King about 3 weeks ago....great neck....piece of crap sound.@@RoderickNewport

@@cugir321 Thanks for the reply. Keep searching, I am sure you will find that perfect guitar. I have played a few inexpensive brands I thought sounded good. One Brand is called Walden, and the other is called Vintage. I just did a demo of a Recording King RDS 7 that I thought sounded good too. ruclips.net/video/GISy5SbuR9w/видео.html

Hello James, I checked out your RUclips channel and the guitar you are playing looks like a Recording King RDS-7-TS. The one in this video is the RD-328. I went ahead and made a video with the guitar you have. 😁ruclips.net/video/GISy5SbuR9w/видео.html

Hi Mike, I was hoping you liked it. Yep, we recorded a country version of this song years ago. This is one of, if not the first song I ever wrote. I decided to record it the original way I wrote it, words and all. Thanks for watching and your comment. 😁😁😁

Thank you @Prime_YT951 for watching and your comment! 😁

Yea, and you can join me! We could drive to Tennessee and see how fast we could get there!!!!!!! Thanks for watching and your comment Rob! 😁

Hi Rob and thanks for the great question. “If both guitars were the same price which would I choose?”. Let me start off by saying I do have and play both guitars. I have also worked at music stores and recording studios my whole life and have sold hundreds of Martins as we were dealers. I can truthfully say I have heard Martins that sound Great, and I have also heard Martins that sound like they have a blanket thrown over them. Every single one is different in sound and playability. When it comes to recording you want a guitar that sits in the mix. Sometimes that bass you describe from a Martin can make the mix a bit boomy, and you end up taking that out anyways. The Recording King guitar just sits in the mix very nicely and requires very minimal equalization. I love my Martin, but I find myself using the Recording King for myself and in other artist sessions way more. I do know a lot of Bluegrass Players today think you have to have a certain brand of guitar, banjo and mandolin, but the old-timers from long ago played what they could afford. It was rarely the brands mentioned today and those recordings sound great. By itself, my Martin sounds better than my Recording King, imo., but when it comes to playing well with others, that is a different story.

Rodericknewport, thanks for the reply. Your last statement is exactly what I was referring to, by itself.

Hi Mike! Hope you have a great Christmas too. Thank you as always for watching and commenting! 😁

Merry Christmas to you ole friend. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas! 😁 Thank you for watching this year and your nice comments! 😄

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and your nice comment. 😄

Thank you for watching and your very nice comment!

Hi @timb3913! We may have passed each other playing in those hills when I was a kid. All my family is from Tennessee. Thank you again for your comment! 😁

@orlandosmithers874 I agree 100% with you. I grew up on classic bluegrass, but do we really need another rendition of Foggy Mountain Breakdown? Thank you again for a great comment! 😃

@nh839 That is a super nice comment, thank you! Thank you also for supporting Indy artists too. 😁

@bjjames9860 Thank you so much for that very cool comment. I totally agree with you! There is so much great music out there that gets swept under the rug, it really is a shame. Thank you for supporting independent musical artists!!!!! 😁

Same, I'm here because of the comment on Tom's video. There was a time when record company oversight was not a bad thing, because artists got development and had someone to oversee them and push them to be their best, but now days, it seems like more of them get the screwdriver than not if they're affiliated with a label. A band local to me got signed some years back, they were known locally as "Orco" but changed their name to "Revis" when they got signed, and their song "Caught in the Rain" was in the Daredevil movie. All seemed well, but then things went south, and they disbanded. After several years they decided to put it back together again only to find out that their prior record contract had a clause that indebted them to the company for X number of albums, so they were prevented from going on their own. When they bought their own equipment and did it anyway, the company found out and sent police to serve cease and desist orders. They're still trying to figure out a way to have a second go at it, it sucks that basically their hands are more or less permanently tied due to their record company contract. CBS really should do the right thing and release them in full, but that will never happen.

Wow @JonathanHiller! I have heard so many stories like yours that it just scares me to sign a record contract. I have heard they will sign upcoming artists and bands just to make sure they are in the backseat behind their signed featured artist. Thank you again for your Great comment! 😁

Thanks, ole buddy! I think this may be my favorite video so far. Thank you for watching and your nice comment!!! 😁😃

Hi Anissa! He reminds me of Greyson every time I watch it. Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it. 😄

Hi Rob! I always look forward to your very nice comments. Thank you ole friend! - @RoderickNewport 😁

Thank you Anissa! Yea, I finally got it done, I had to stop a bit to work on my other music. Next new song and video out soon!

Hi Rob! Thank you for watching. That was a fun project to do, kind of sad to see it done. 😀
