We heard y'all loud and clear and we changed the title to 'Delta Blues' instead of Bluegrass 🤠 Thanks for teaching us the difference.
Ouch.
Well if you didn't know the difference' I wonder how many pickled hog knuckles you sold thinking they were drum sticks.
Captain.... You need to give Ben a raise. He is fantastic.
Holy heck, I haven't been watching this channel in some time, and now I tune in and Ben looks like a completely different person (in a good way of course)
WOW. I am so lucky to have followed my gut. I didn't know what a swamp dog was until i picked one up from a store after playing it for an hour, and i haven't been able to put it down since that day. Here I am finding it on this list, not four days later. Damn. I love that guitar.
Ahem...as something of a connoisseur of delta blues I can tell you that is some very fine playing indeed by Ben. That excerpt from Vigilante Man on the Pro was downright fabulous. Hope he demonstrates the tri-cones when they arrive!
Such a versatile and full of feeling player Ben! They sound excellent and look the part too.
I purchased the smaller parlour resonator in the black nickel from you earlier this month. Super fast delivery, arrived in great condition, an amazing & beautiful sound, plus so much fun to play. Couldn't be a happier customer. Thank you for a great service.
I would pay for an album of Ben playing blues/slide on that Pro model. If such a thing already exists please let me know. What a beast of a guitar player - definitely my favorite on Andertons TV (and that’s saying A LOT)!!!
Check out justin Johnson. Amazing.
Beautiful resonator guitars AND fantastic playing! Thanks for posting these gems!!
That Swamp Dog is the same one I bought. I tried 6 different ones and different brands and the Swamp Dog sounded the best. I cant hardly put it down, and yeah, its as heavy as my Gibson. But I gotta say it is one of the best guitar purchases I've ever made. It makes you play differently and it makes you more creative. Highly recommend.
@@davidpearson6346 Yes, I play slide and conventional style. When I use the slide however, I tune it to open G tuning DGDGBD. that tuning is better suited to slide playing. And yes, the swamp dog can be played fingerstyle or pick and tuned to the regular EADGBE. It has a really big sound almost like there is a small amp built in. Really bold loud and brassy sounds.
If you play with just your fingers, it is quite mellow and nice but louder. If you use a pick it is more abrupt and much brighter almost getting jangly. If you use a metal thumb and finger picks it gets real jangly. I use both metal and glass slides. The glass ones have a smoother sound. Metal ones are kind of scrapey sounding.
I f you tune it to open G and use a glass slide while picking with your fingers it makes a nice smooth velvety but bright distnct and louder than regular acoustic. Its very intuitive to play this way. You will quickly recognize phrasings of songs youve heard before just by accident. It makes you more creative too, IMO.
Hello man, just wanted to say the joy you seem to experience is infectious. I actually find myself smiling as I watch you respond to the guitars and their sound. I am hoping I can afford one of these resonators soon, and you have convinced me to get the parlor black nickel version. Thanks again
Loved the sound of all of these guitars... & man you can play! If I had to add one to my quiver it'd have to be the Black Nickel Parlour. Through my headphones it has the sound I'm looking for.
Recording King makes outstanding guitars. I have the RD-328 and love it. Great video, keep them coming.
Ry Cooder from Guildford is awesome. I really like the sound of swamp dog. I would appreciate more videos like this.
Great demonstration Ben!
Love Those Colors and Styles And Your playing always Inspires 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Closest to pulling to the blues except the B&G. Top pickin Ben thanks. Respect and stay healthy all.
You're not lying, Because of this video i bought a swamp dog to start learning guitar.
Thank you for creating a new journey in my life!
Great video, it really helps me decide which resonator to buy. Keep it up. Cool playing too.
You guys are mind readers, been racking my brain on getting a resonator. Another killer video boys!
Do it man for sure, I love mine...
Ohhhhhhh, that coppery guitar is one heck of a looker and player!
Ben, you've got the acoustic magic in those hands.
I had no idea Simon Pegg could play slide guitar so well. Sorry, couldn't resist. Really nice sounding guitars and just beautiful playing. Cheers, Mate. I'll be checking out more of the acoustic videos for sure.
I have the parlor size in the Swamp Dog green and love it. The larger size was just too heavy for me. Wish I could play like you!!
I'd love to play slide well. I did ask my guitar tutor but, while he gave it a go, he didn't really seem all that versed in the style, so I'm still a noob. I'm tempted to go for the parlour shape, as they're adorable and roots-cool. Wonderful demo!
I love the sound of resonators. That "subtle" one was my favorite.
I’ve never learnt any of these delta blues / slide licks in open tunings, It sounds fun to play. Ben , would you be willing to put out any instructional lessons videos ?
Loved this video Ben, Bluegrass or Delta Blues. I’ve always fancied a resonator guitar as these are well in my price range. It makes me laugh the comments where people are comparing these to an acoustic guitar and the sound! 🤣
Fantastic playing!
I purchased my resonator guitar on a whim years and years ago... Best impulse buy I ever did 🤟
Dude. Your playing.. good lord. So good.
Wow....what a great sound!!!
Thanks for posting this! Been looking at resonators for a while (RK in particular) and this is really helping me pick the right one tonally, probably the parlour. How much do the metal body guitars weigh?
I found the parlor size at a guitar center and fell in instant Love.
I have a Recording King RM998D.It is heavy but boy is it loud!!.Well made and finished.Great resonator.
I would love to hear a shootout between these and the Gretsch resonators. I have a Gretsch Alligator that I absolutely love.
They are probably all made in the same shop as my Republic and my Royall
Well damn, the playing was great and the guitars and cool but Ben you look fantastic!
Great presenter, love the playing.
I've just purchased the RR 36 Maxwell resonator it sounds so nice,it's a great guitar for the money.
Title says bluegrass but no bluegrass was played. However excellent blues & ragtime was played. Good job.
Said it for me 😜
Love my Recording King Swamp Dog distressed green!
Hot Tamale, some tidy playing there Ben☺️
I would like to hear y'all cover some more traditional bluegrass instruments... How about trying out a few mandolins? F5 and A style.
Could watch Ben play all day.
The guy doing the demo is awesome!
I could listen to ben play all day
the wood body always sound warmer . great vid
Great video and nice playing indeed, could we get a listen to the Gretsch Honey dipper please.
Love watching this channels reviews. Can you please tell me what kind of strings one should use on a resonator? Say maybe medium acoustic strings? Thank you.
Beaut playing!
Great review, I was looking for a review like this. I liked that last 2 ones, the RRs. Besides the bodies and the briskets, are there other guitar settings that make the resonators unique? For instance, I hear a lot resonator players doing slide, are the strings more separated from the fret board than a regular acoustic guitar? Thank you for the review.
The professional series one sounded incredible. Similar to a bluegrass dobro.
What a player...and fine instruments..🎸🪕🎻
Please make another video with the tri-cones and do some comparison stuff to the spider and biscuit bridge, love the sound of resonators
That Swamp Dog looks killer!
Haven’t watched this channel for a while but, alright what did you do with the real Ben? Amazing new look there.
The green is like a patina, I like it.
What's lovely is the playing!
Excellent presentation. Can you tell us what you’re doing with your right hand fingernails. Are you using a pick of sorts, or salon tips? Thanks, mate!
Please do a shootout between these and the Gretsch resonators!!! I need one so bad!
Love Ben's playing, but it's not Bluegrass. Only squareneck resonators with wood bodies (e.g. Dobro) are used in Bluegrass. These guitars in this video are more delta blues type guitars.
I see - and appreciate - you didn't make the same error as last time, and invited a real slide player ! :D
God damn, is there anything Ben can't play? Dude always blows my mind.
Hi Ben, I thought that they would have been fitted with an output jack and have volume and tone. Maybe they have other models which do?. My dobro has them. They sound good.
Great job on the demo. Now, if they just had the Nashville Fishman pickup system..........
What is the name of the song you played on the RC Maxwell? Great playing!
Ben is that you?! WoW
I have a Recording King Dirty 30's 12 string guitar and it is a very good guitar for the money
More!
Thanks
Until now I never knew that my next guitar needs to be a resonator.😊
Careful now, randy. It's a steep and slippery slope into reso-addiction. I started with one and I now have 6 of them.😄
Very good playing. Please make a lesson to learn how to play like you.
Could you fit a pickup in the 993 parlor model? If so any recommendations? Thanks
Thanks for a excellent review but you do not state if they come with a) A Hardcase b) Softcase or c) a professtional set up for slide??
Not sure about a case,but these were straight out of the box and were setup great for slide or standard playing. :-)
Hi y'all! What kind of slide is he using there? It looks like a Dunlop Blues bottle of sorts, but I can't quite tell. Sorry for the hyper-nerdy question, but I'd rather ask instead of sitting with this obsession fueled mystery.
Why did I watch this? Now I want one
whitch is the best RK resonator model if just doing the occasional slides and not necessarily blues either , but finger-style play and want the warmer resonator tone (not nasal) ?‽❔❓🐊 🐸🍀
I bought the RK rr 50 professional after watching this, and I love the sound, but I think I’m going to return it because of two major things. 1: the intonation is really far off at the 12th fret. To me it feels embarrassing for a pro model to be this far out. 2: the frets are a bit sharp and they’ve actually actually taken a small nick out of the skin on my finger. Is this a lemon or are they really just this bad? It’s hard cause I really like everything else about it. The sound is exactly what I want. Is this common for Recording King??
Is another difference that the rr36vs has got a wider neck width than the rr50vs?
What’s up with the cut a 2:59? I thought we were going to hear it again to compare.
Can you tell me the rough decibel volume of the dirty thirties recording king. That's important info for me thanks. Or how does the volume compare to a non amped or auditorium guitar ? I play at metro stations in Taiwan on a banjo with noneoectrics allowed , i need it at least hitting 80 DB from about 1 meter ok F you then
Nooiiice
Bbbbbaaaaad, bbbbbaaaaad to the bone!
i prefer the wooden body ones, they seem to have more warmth and depth to there sound, more human (thats the only word that feels right)
Am I the only one a little bit disappointed we didn't get a snippet of romeo and Julie from dire straits? Doesn't have to be just the blues lol
The last two seemed to sound a lot like the Curtis Loew
What kind slide being used
He can play
8:32
You said "doodoo". 🤣
I heard that they had issues with sharp frets.
5:55 Holly molly man, I “ducking” forgot that song name...
Delta Blues,... yes, bluegrass, but ... Delta Blues !!
How funny would it be iff after the playing it was actually Lee, they move up and you see the captains face 😂
What tuning is he playing the Maxwell Pro? Open G? Dobro tuning? Tks
What tuning is it in ?
2:53 Open E
@@ImNotOld_ImVintage Thank you
Loving the look and sound of the parlour. By the way, are you the same Ben Smith I saw as a disgustingly talented teenager occasionally playing at Bracknell Arts Centre?
I think we did a gig together at Royston Folk Club?
@@bensmithguitar We may well have done, though it would have been more than about 6 years ago. If you guys want somebody who specialises in playing a Reso ....
Who knew?
What happened to the Rattlesnake?
I found on this and the last Acoustic video, the guitar level was way too low compared with the speech.
Nice guitars but maybe more of like a delta blues pre war pop instead a Martin D-28 is bluegrass
Someone else just took the words out of my mouth haha was just at a festival this past weekend with bluegrass music and every group had a Martin...I don't know that I even heard a resonator there to be honest.
The parlour sized one is tasty like hell…that can’t say no to that perfectly shiny body…
