    Anyone complaining in the comments section saying you shouldn't fingerpick a Martin dread have no idea what the hell they're talkin about. It's refreshing to hear actual music played on one for once. FS bracing, scalloped in a GE or authentic fashion on a dread is literally perfect for finger picking. So was any other type of music, finger picked or not. I love finger picking my Martin. You ant to hear blue grass, go listen to one of the hundred boring other videos out there of it
    So annoying reading some of this nonsense. Dreads are the most versatile guitars out there. Including finger picking

    That's some brilliant insight... It was a demo for a guitar that was for sale. I would think that someone considering buying a 10K guitar would like to hear it played in as many genres as possible. How about you show us how a pre-war D-18 is "supposed to" be played?

  • @pacwacwac
    @pacwacwac 12 лет назад +1

    @borrowmeadolla oh yeah that's why a lot of professional musicians and great gutarists used Yairi right? Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Willie Nelson and Kurt Cobain to name a few.

  • @floater156
    @floater156 11 лет назад

    I have to agree with you. I'd be willing to bet most people interested in a prewar Martin dreads are flatpickers not fingerpickers.

    Beautiful sounding guitar. Great player too, the part that nobody can seem to build into a guitar.

    Nice guitar. 1939?? According to Martin serial numbers chard the serial numbers show your guitar as being made in 1938. That means the price just went up!!!

    Mike I actually included Aaron Lewis, but as to the notion all other guitars are measured by Martin standards, this is true as well. Takamine, sells more guitars than Martin, because they still build them like the OLD Martins. Martin is great if you are willing to shell out thousands for a name. I could eclipse the sound of todays Martins for a fraction. And yes, my $400 box smokes Martins Gibbys you name it, don't knock it till you own one. I have several high dollar custom shop pcs. Yairi=Win

      borrowmeadolla i have a few Yairis one Brazilian rosewood and they play as nice as Martins or Taylor's do for half the price. i never played a Tak that i liked honestly but country players like them.

  • @borrowmeadolla
    @borrowmeadolla 11 лет назад

    Yngwie is Just about as good as any amazing guitarist out there. I hardly found anyone on Mr. WacWacs' list an "amazing" guitarist. Save- Clapton and MAYBE Mayer. Neil Young is a very good player also. But the rest only play Martin for the check. Lets face it, martin has sucked since the end of WWII. Chinese makers like Eastman and even a few very special Blueridges are blowing away our American blow hard brands anymore. Get over yourselves Nazareth, lets build the best again.

    • @koolkitties8552

      borrowmeadolla Neil Young plays sloppy imo but i like his songs.

      Since ww2 sucks? Nooo. There are some great d28s d18, 41 45s since 1945....I will say that anything with the model number under D 18 is usually crap

    • @el34glo59
      @el34glo59 Год назад

      That makes absolutely no sense dreads are amazing for finger-picking. Especially pre wars or amy FS scalloped braced Martins. I literally buy them for that

  • @borrowmeadolla
    @borrowmeadolla 11 лет назад

    First off my friend, I wasn't thumping on my chest about value, if I were, please point this out and I will gladly apologize. However, in terms of sound quality, a Yairi, just like A Honda or Toyota is a much better value than the shit we americans pump out such as Chrysler, Ford, GM. Take your pick, We as Americans may cherish our American made instruments, they tend to be well made, as are our vehicles, but true to history the Japanese are just doing it better...for less. Thank you.
