Amazing 1943 Martin D-28 - Don't Think Twice, It's Alright (Bob Dylan Cover)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- What you see before you is an incredible, original 1943 Martin D-28 with Herringbone binding. While America was well and truly involved in WW2 by 1943 - the term ‘Pre War’ denotes a specific quality, design and materials that Martin were able to maintain until 1944. This is the same model that Gerry Garcia and Hank Williams played. It is a truly significant piece of musical history. Not only that but it is a beautiful guitar to play. Incredibly light construction with serious mid range projection. A real 'banjo killer' as they say. I felt very lucky to be able to play this instrument. It is recorded using a single Telefunken (Neumann) U47 microphone, shot on a Canon EOS R6. I hope you enjoy!

I came to this video because the title referred to a special guitar, but what I received was a really amazing vocal and fingerstyle performance.
Thank you! It’s such a fun song to play. I find that really helps when it’s enjoyable
My life is unquestionably better having heard this
Nice sentiment. My life too.
I'm touched! Thank you very much. I'm glad to have been able to assist in some way :)
Ditto
That’s one of the best versions of Don’t Think Twice I’ve ever heard - well done, man.
Thanks so much Daniel!
Go find Joe Robinson. He owns it as well.
Incredible player!! Nice balance brother!
@@daningram3143 thank you Dan!
It is seriously good
What an inspiring rendition of Bob Dylan's Don't think Twice! You play and sing it beautifully on this wonderful old Martin D-28. Every note sings! Thanks for sharing @Jordan Thomas
That’s so kind of you to say! It’s particularly inspiring when you get to play on such a fabulous instrument. It seems to take over in a way.
@@Jordan_Thomas You are welcome! And thanks. I agree about a fine instrument's ability to take over :)
I play a Martin 000-18 and feel powerful inspiration, although she is much younger than this fine 1943 D-28 Gentleman that you are playing!
@@cherpendarvis-studios Oh I can relate. I have a 2012 OM-28 that I can't walk past without picking up to play. The perfect device to while away the hours.
What a time less Classic, and gotta say nice playing, many thanks,just ole Don here from Hamilton NZ 😊
@@susanroycroft89 Kia ora, compadre!
Oh that classic vintage instantly recognizable Martin 28 sound. You can hear that sound a mile away. Nice chords, beautiful playing.
They wrote the book on acoustic guitar, and this '43 sure is testament to that.
Gorgeous guitar! Easily as good an example of hybrid picking as I've ever seen. Very nice vocals too! Bravo!
Thank you, Ron! I appreciate that. I can't really do it any other way :)
Great job! There's a Martin guitar and then there's everything else. How incredible is it that we lived in a time when we had Martin guitars to play.
I'll say. I always come back to Martin. They got it right the first time!
I couldn't have said it better myself, Ken!!!!!
Once I was shopping for an acoustic guitar, the salesman showed me a couple and said one was "just like a Martin."
There is nothing like Martin.
@@jimlocke8281 If I remember right, I was told in my youth that an Epiphone guitar was a Japanese copy of a Martin guitar. Anyone know?
@@frankgerlach5059epiphone was lower line Gibson in the beginning. Things changed over the years.
he knows all the chords.
Check out guitar Jord 😬
@@Jordan_Thomas sneaky Knopfler reference😉
And where to put them
An old guitar is all he can afford!
Yes. He surely does
Love how you handled the final verse! Excellent playing, terrific voice. The guitar is gorgeous.
Thanks Mike! I think it’s okay to open the throttle a little in the last first 😬
Awesome guitar, awesome playing, great voice, a pleasure to listen, thank you 🙏🙏
Best version of this song i've heard
Cheers Andy!
It is indeed a great rendition. Another worth hearing is Billy Strings'.

Wicked! One of the best versions of 'Don't Think Twice' I've ever heard. Thank you Jordan.
Thank you Dave! I really appreciate that!!
In addition to the stellar guitar and very nice voice, Jordan captured the slightly ambiguously wistful attitude of the lyric well in a way that many don't.
@@brutusadmirer8043 I'm glad you picked up on that. Some people have said that my take didn't have the emotion that it aught to. I think it needs the ambiguity, it feels like the mind hasn't totally been made up how they feel about the situation, not happy, not sad, just kinda figuring it all out.
Simply, top shelf! Tune, tone, timing and taste! Admiring from West Michigan.
Real kind of you to say, Dan. Inspiring guit boxes like this tend to bring out the best in your playing. Stick around! I'll upload another one soon
Took me back 30 odd years in an instant. Smile on my face and a tear in my eye.
Thank you.
Hey Bob, that means a lot to me bud. That's really what music does best. Glad I could be of assistance!
That gem of a guitar is in very good hands. 👍
Very kind of you to say. Its a lovely guitar indeed.
He makes it seem so easy !
Terrific rendition! Loved the inversions and the runs. Great vocals too!
Kind of you to say, David! Encourages me to keep pickin'!
Great covers don’t only sound great, but make you feel feels. Excellent cover and even better playing.
Cheers Joe! Good feels are good! I appreciate it
Outstanding! Your playing and singing have created in my opinion one of the best versions of this song. Bravo.
By the way, that guitar is amazing.
You are very kind! I didn't mean to, I just enjoy playing it. I'm glad everything worked out :)
I’ve just read many of your comments, and I’m thinking that (though no one seems to have mentioned this), while I’m pretty sure I have seen other combine the flat pick and finger picking before, I’ve never seen anyone do it as well as you have here. Just wow! Also great singing and great song choice.
Thank you John. I've had my trials and tribulations with this method. As a youngster I would watch Chet Atkins picking with ease and think to myself "Why can't I sound like that?" the mechanics of the thumb pick style has its advantages, but I've found a way to get around it I think.
Is it hybrid picking, any way you call it is amazing
Clatrence White used it on Footrprints in the snow on Muleskinner
love those old Martin's.
love that song.
Awesome cover, thanks for posting this, and great unique pick and finger picking, all sounds incredible.
Zimmerman hey? Any relation? Yep my style is a little odd but I can get it to work alright!
I was just blown away by Billy Strings' version but this is also outstanding.
Billy's is just so damn good. I'm honored to have that comparison drawn. Thank you!
@@Jordan_Thomas This is not far from the level of Billy's... and i love your small variations as well.
Great version of that iconic Dylan song from a super talented individual, and I'm sure you feel lucky to play (and show honor to) an amazing guitar like that!
Oh very much so. Yes its such an inspiring instrument to play :)
You killed it Jordan!!! Both musically & vocally!!! Great stuff :)
That's very kind of you to say! Thanks Mark :)
My heart vibrates and calms down with each chord! You always amazing Jordan!
That's such a lovely thing to say, Roberta. Thank you!
Holy Moly.
Simply THE most expressive guitar playing I've ever heard, the depth of the gentle dynamics, the clarity, yet the fullness - man, this is poetry.
That really means a lot. Thanks for the kind words :)
WOW !!!! AMAZING !!! SIMPLY AMAZING ! MY GUITARS JUMPED OFF THE WALL AND RAN OUT THE DOOR !!! I DOUBT THEY WILL BE BACK???? Hey Jordon a couple came back . Yippee !!!
Haha! Nooo they must come back! Don’t let them be jealous. All guitars need to be played!
Wonderful. What a tone, in the hands of a master.
Very flattering of you to say. Thank you!
How does this only have 300K views? This is literally the best cover of this song that i've heard.
That is incredibly kind of you to say. I guess if I owned that beautiful '43 martin and did more covers I might get some more reach. I'd have to mortgage the house to pay for it though... and I'm renting!
Amazing job! Wait... can you share the music/tablature to this? If this is freestyle finger-pickin, can you write it out -hehe :) I would glady pay a bit of money for this transcription!
Oh man, I dunno. There's a lot of notes! I did do a brief tutorial for this song though. Its on my channel. Hope that helps!
Fantastic vocals. And that D-28! Never heard a better sounding one.
It’s like an orchestra in the shape of a guitar this. The resonances are alarming!
That’s what Beethoven said I read one time a guitar is like having a full orchestra at your fingertips. What a sound
God. Ch
I think so! Maybe?
Congratulations, terrific performance, not to mention the beautiful sound of your Martin. Good music Frank....😉🤘
Thank you Frank!
I like it Mister, I am trying to play y0ures stuff, but being An Aussie I kinf of get that way you play. Can you give me a super way to do it? thanks
I'm not sure if I can give you any advice really seeing as my technique is 'unorthodox'. I have large hands so I find it easy to leave my pinky resting there. Other than that my style is often referred to as the 'Nashville claw' hope this helps!
My favorite rendition I've seen so far!! Singing is fantastic and your playing on that amazing guitar is other-worldly!!
Hey Brad, thanks a bunch! Other-wordly, that ain't too bad!
Very nice picking on a fine example of a wartime '28., but I really enjoyed your singing. Thank you, Sir.
Cheers Ricky!
Excellent rendition of this iconic Dylan song , cool fingerpicking and warm vocals ✨✨✨🙏👍
I appreciate that, John. Cheers!
I fear the power of a pre-war D-28. Was in a snobby guitar shop and they had a 1940 D28 for $69,000 and a guy was looking at it. He was pacing and sweating mumbling something about how to sell his Mercedes G-wagon AND keep his wife from finding out.
That sounds about right! I have a feeling the wife would notice the absence of a G-Wagon. Lets just hope she enjoys high quality acoustic tones.
Absolutely wonderful 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Paul! 😁
first song i ever learnt to play -nowhere near as good as you though mate. fantastic. Both technique & voice are brilliant. good luck x
Hey thanks Richard! I appreciate the good luck vibes. They are required in this industry 😬
Very well done- professional, even! Kudos!
Very kind of you to say. Cheers, James!
My daily warmup tune for 50 years just got juiced
Great song to warm up with. I have warmed up on this one a fair bit myself
How in blazes do you only have 35 subscribers?! This cover beats the Billy Strings version hands down and your hybridization of using the pick and two fingers really gives the walking bassline of this song the clarity it deserves. Now I have a whole new muscle memory to learn, and you have another sub. And to think Period Ahh Period Uhh (Britt Barbie) is a real song on Spotify somehow smh what a crazy world.
Hey Eric, that's real kind of you to say. I've only had this channel for a few weeks, so starting kind of small I guess. I'll keep posting, hopefully the 'algo' acknowledges my efforts 😎
Its a fantastic version for sure, love it. No need to try and compare to Billy Strings version, they are both fantastic versions and beautiful in their own way. Appreciate each for what they are. I can listen to both over and over along with Bob's and even the PPM version.
Beautiful tone from the old girl. What a masterful rendition of that song. Thanks
Wow, I learned the Billy Strings version too and yes, you knock it into the grass. Beautiful. Get on stage and share your gift.
what a wonderful rendition of a miraculous song on a marvelous guitar. Congrats from a french fan of Dylan, of guitars, and now of you👍🇫🇷
Thank you very much. Yes that guitar is so marvelous. Very inspiring to play. Hard to put down, which is a good thing!
Beautiful guitar with a magical sound!
Its a really special instrument. Inspiring to play
Really great!
1943 is not "Pre war" great Guitar though.
Hey Jimmy! You’re quite right. Technically pre war is 1941 and earlier, but this falls into the ‘Pre War’ category based on the construction and materials that they share.
Exceptional sounding guitar. Crisp, clear, defined notes, a pleasure to listen to. Very tasty left hand, too, and very good singing
How did you come by this magnificent guitar?
I work for a company called Premier Guitars in Australia taking all the photos, playing demos and appraising instruments. Sadly this one is not mine, but I sure appreciate being able to play it.
Wow!
Thank you, Gusso!
Oh wow! That was amazing! Just beautiful. I don’t know whether to practice or just sell all my guitars. 😮
Sell them all and buy one really really nice one!
Gave me chills! Excellent!
You're very kind, Don. Thank you!
I could tell
From the first note-this is an old D-28-my dad had a 1945 D-28-such a warm and mellow tone!and it’s enhanced by your skillful playing-just such a lovely rendition on the best instrument-well done.
I really appreciate you saying this. Thank you very much :)
Marvelous！！✨✨🎶💕👍👍
Marvelous is good! Thank you Sam
DUDE! That is GOOD!!!! And this is my favorite song of all time to play, and I've watched at least 500 covers. Appreciate you. Singing is beautiful too. Getting Chet Atkins and Doc Watson vibes.
Chet and Doc are good company to be in! And yes I love both of those pickers. It’s just the most fun tune to play. It never feels like work, practicing songs like this one.
Fantastic tone on that old D-28. Crisp as an apple.
Not bad is it? This thing is LOUD too!
@@Jordan_Thomas That guitar is a light touch like my 72 D-35. No need to be baging on em anymore.
Sensational -I love playing and singing this, but I think you have taken this song somewhere real special - wonderful
Thanks Wayne! It’s one of my favorite tunes to play. I guess that’s key isn’t it. Find songs you really enjoy and it never feels like practice
As a life long Dylan fan that interpretation was awesome! Loved your guitar skills, a little bit too pacey for me but man you nailed it all.
Cheers Mr Headroom. I often listen back and realize I'm going a little quick. Just rolls off the fingers that way I guess!
Amazing performance, congratulations
Thanks amigo! 🐆🐆🐆
My musician daughter rightly says that everyone does Dylan better than Bob, but this is right at or near the top of the heap of so many great covers of this song. Especially for a solo performer.
I own a 1947 d45 plays like silk ‘’
Holy heck. I'm a little jealous!
La più bella di RUclips…
Incredibile guitar ❤!!! 💣💣
Thank you very much!
Fabulous picking buddy … really enjoyed that thank you.
You’re so welcome, Fritz! Thanks for stopping by
What?! Did you crazy glue your baby finger to the pick guard?? I could never do that!
I believe if you glue yourself to the guitar you automatically get to keep it.
Yes indeed, that's the only way I finger pik also, most players Iv'e seen don't brace their hand with the little finger, but I can't do it any other way. Your guitar sound will be Better IF you DON'T hold the little finger on the sound/board 'cause it interferes with the sound from your guitar- it Deadens the sound slightly
@@susanroycroft89 It is true, it can mitigate the vibrations somewhat. I don't plant my finger heavily though, just lightly touching for a point of reference.
Wow!! Lovely guitar work … then the singing starts … Stunningly good!!
Thank you😊
Kind words, Paul. I genuinely appreciate that. Thank you!
Great job! The hybrid picking is masterful.
Cold chills, 3 times! Absolutely unequalled. BRILLIANT!
Thank you Gerald. I really appreciate that!
Subscribed because there's something special in the way you sing and play. Awesome!
Well that means a lot to me, Christopher. I hope I retain that for future performances. Thanks!
Playing, singing and guitar all top notch. Nice!
Hey thanks so much Brian!!
Wonderful. Very well done yet not overstated. Love it!
I appreciate that Bruce, thank you!
Absolutely fine. I once learned to play "Tambourine Man" while sitting in a hotel room in Pattaya, Thailand, without money, just guessing the chords and jotting down the lyrics from a cassette.
The key thing with Dylan, is to understand his tempo. He sounds kind of slow, but his songs are mostly pretty fast, especially the way he stacks up the words.
Yes you're absolutely right. The lyrics tend to come through thick and fast! What a wordsmith. Mr Tambourine Man is totally an example of this.
That was Beautiful Man!! Thank you!
Hey no problems hoss!
I just stumbled upon this......feeling so well. Wonderful playing and tone. Thanks
I appreciate that Brad. Thank you!
Beautiful guitar and rendition. Hard to beat a D-28
Thanks amigo! Especially a pre war one!
Wonderful picking and singing on a dope old Martin. You do justice to this fine Dylan tune. I cherish this perfromance. Do some others please. Aloha
Thank you, Jack. I shall endeavor to do more performances. Sadly not on this one, I don't have the $60000 USD to buy it!
Love this arrangement. Great classic Dylan.
Absolutely fantasic.
Vocals and guitar plus arrangement spot on.
I have forwarded this to my timeline which has many guitarist friends.
That's awesome Dennis. I really appreciate you sharing my music. Thanks a lot!
What a wonderful rendition !
I appreciate that Billie. Thanks!
Phenomenal guitar player and performance, he inspires me play More.
You're very welcome. Thank you!
Oh the sweet sound of a Martin. I have a '72.
wow your playing is fucking impeccable wow. bit of a goofy unique take, but i LOVED it. you deserve 100x the subs you have. magnificent guitar magnificent player.
Goofy is my jam! Sure I would love to have 100x the subs! I guess I better keep pickin' eh?
Brilliant cover...
I really enjoyed that! Outstanding. Thank you!
I really appreciate that! Thanks heaps :)
Jordan, seriously! It's about exposure at this point. YOU'RE AS TALENTED as anyone out there. Connect with someone's agent and get on tour with someone. Write songs!! Write! Write! You're fan, Peter Rush
Peter. You are right, there's little else to it other than write and get out there. I have no excuse, the execution is pretty straight forward. I'll keep at it. You have no idea how encouraging comments like yours can be.
That's by far the best cover of Dylan's song that I've ever heard! The melodious sound of the guitar arrangement is indescribably beautiful!!! His voice is so mellow! What outstanding musicianship!!!
Barbara that is so kind of you to say! I really appreciate that.
The guitar sounds amazing! Nothing like a classic guitar. Such a rich, mellow sound. Thanks for sharing!
Rich and mellow are the words alright. And so very loud. I wish it were mine, but I can’t afford the 60k USD price tag!!
Spectacular
Thanks Anthony!
One of my fav all time songs. The genius of Bob Zimmerman. Martin sounds perfect.
Its an exceptional guitar! Thanks for stopping by :)
Nice buddie...very tight....like your Travis picking abilities. From Bombay we appreciate....God bless you always. Tc.
Hey thanks! Great to meet you :)
Great performance ! Judging by the number of guitars hanging on the wall he obviously loves them..👍❤️👍
Oh I do, but I sell guitars as my day job. Either way, yes I love 'em!
FANTASTIC VERSION of this classic. Great voice, amazing playing and the guitar is stunning!!!!
It is truly an amazing guitar. Very inspiring to play. Quite different from later 40s/50s ones I've had a chance to get my mitts on. So dry, bright and LOUD!
@@Jordan_Thomas You really need to play some Reverend Gary Davis on that guitar. "I'll Be Alright" and "I Am the Light of This World" like Jorma's versions on Quah.
@@ZZSmithReal I’ve not heard these songs! I will investigate
Hey Jordan-with your hybrid picking style, it looks like you dedicate your pick to the top 3 low strings and your middle and ring fingers to the lower 3 high strings-right? I'm learning out of a book right now for hybrid picking and he does it a little different. I like how you use your pinky for support. That's the way I finger pick, and I prefer to do it that way. I guess it's hard to break old habits, but the pinky support keeps the hand stabilized. Very nice job with the song, both picking and singing. My first time to find your channel. I'll be back for more!!!
Thank you very much. Yes I basically use the pick on the three bass strings and 2 fingers on the treble strings. Sometimes the pick makes its way over to the high strings too. And yes, the pinky support is great! I can never pick accurately without it
$30K guitar, incredible musician, captured on a $20K mic. Not something you get to hear very often. What a treat!
Thanks Terry. I’m glad that you’re able to appreciate the finer things. I dare say this guitar would sound great through any mic. It’s a wonderful instrument
Im from south korea.
I dont understand lyrics all
but your voice is so beautiful.
Thank you jordan.
감사합니다
@@dongyukim2817 this is very kind of you to say. The lyrics are good too! Bob Dylan wrote a few lovely tunes
Very professional Jordan. A pro at work. Always happy to support a fellow musician. Enjoyed, Big Like and Full Listen. 😎🤠👌😊👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🎙Cheers, Bruce Keep playing and posting.
I very much appreciate that, Bruce. And yes, that's what its all about. Gotta keep playing, man!
This guy could make a Hello Kitty plastic guitar sound great. Remarkable talent. Thanks for sharing.
You know, I've been eyeing off those Hello Kitty Squiers. They're going up in price!
@@Jordan_Thomas Strangely, they are becoming collector items. Who knew?
I never liked the way Dylan play it. He played it too fast. But I liked his D7 with F# on 6. I remember a friend calling the Dirty Dylan D.
Dirty Dylan D! I'm stealing that. Even though it sounds kinda inappropriate heh..
Some nice hybrid picking, bro. And a smooth set of pipes to complete the package 👍
Thank you John!
Jordan, I am impressed by the whole setup, vocal, guitar, picking and recording. My first *real* guitar was a D-28, a 1969 build that I bought at a music store. I paid more for the guitar and case than I paid for my car. Don't play it as much as I used to, but I pulled it out a little while ago to see if the sound compared to yours. Gratefully, it does. Masterful craftsmanship that crosses the generations. Great job on the pickin' and the vocals. Love it! I have a question, and If you don't mind. Please tell me what the mike is that you are using. I think I know, but I want to be sure. Thanks for your contribution. Lee
Hey Lee, yes I think you're on it. Its a Telefunken U47. Tends to do a good job of making things sound good. A mic like that, and a guitar like that. Well, you don't need to do much in post that's for sure.
Absolutely beautiful, although my favorite was Clapton’s rendition at Bob’s 30th Anniversary concert album.
You know, I've never heard it. Must investigate.
The Phraseing is absolutely perfect, many thanks,Don here on my Wife's device 😅
Hey thank you, Don! It’s very nice of you to say!
Dylan could not have done it better. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
Don't tell Dylan! ha!
This is the first time i got introduced to this bob dylon song. This performance and the guitar is just awesome. Saw a few of your other videos your a badass guitarist and singer. Looking forward for more good stuff. God bless.
Hey man, I really appreciate hearing that. A little motivation to help me keep pickin'. Cheers!
BRAVO!🎉❤💕
Cheers Edward!
