![MORTAL KOMBAT 1 - KOMBAT PACK 2 REVEAL TRAILER!! [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mi2M58zEQVc/mqdefault.jpg)
We need a tutorial for that Viva La Vida arrangement. So beautiful.
Oh yeah It was very pretty
It’s actually called “If I Could Fly,” by Joe Satriani 😂🤣
Totally agree with the review! Love my PM-3 natural. Great value with the details and case. Fender brought the game up for sure!
That intro viva la vida arrangement was beautiful!
I have the parlor version of this guitar in vintage sunburst and it is incredible! Nice demo!
Hey Dave
Could you do a video about how to tune your guitar 'by ear'
I've been struggling learning this
Would be a huge help!!
That's a beautiful sounding guitar! finally I think Fender are starting to produce good Acoustic Guitars. Great demo.
They are. This is a massive step up from the CD range
It's beautiful and it sounds good on my speaker. Had to grab one. Hope it sounds as open as that one. Thx
This pickup has a unique feature in that it has both an under saddle piezo pickup combined with a body transducer. The second knob, instead of tone is a blend of the two elements.
For what you may know, does this pick-up is quieter than the one with the tone (instead of the blend control)?
I'm trying to figure out if my brand new Paramount arrived today has a defective preamp, in fact the overall volume is quite weaker than my Cort with Sonitone/Sonicore preamp.
Thanks
I saw one of these today in my local music shop, it looks fantastic. I've been considering buying a mid level acoustic to replace my cheap Yamaha (first guitar), this could be the one.
Great Video and Review, thanks Dave! 😊
No problem 👍
Where's the tutorial for the fingerstyle cold play intro lol ? Sounds so good
I have a Fender sunburst acoustic concert guitar that l really like. I want to get an upgrade at some point.
I was thinking of a Breedlove or Seagull. If money was no option I would get a Journey or Faith.
I bought the Parlour in Cognac and I love it. First thing I did however was remove the scratchplate (came off a treat with a bit of hairdryer treatment), change the srtrings (those Fender fitted ones are dreadful). My only other gripe is the strap button position. Totally the wrong place for it. I removed mine and filled the hole with a mahogony plug. Looks killer now. Still a very good guitar for the price point.
Excelente review... Congrats...
Wow it's sound so smooth..... Bdy can u pls make cover of (white cross) simple man... I'll be grateful to u !
Great work dave could you please make a tutorial for Golden love by Midnight youth and A little braver by New empire
I want to have this guitar!!
I have the cut away version and I love it. I also have shoulder problems and the smaller body size is better for that than a dread naught. It’s a bit older but the quality is fantastic IMO. And the case is really nice too.
Agreed! The case is a fantastic addition
Belo violão 🇧🇷👏🏾
This is absolutely the best test of this guitar so far. Thank You.
Well I'm not really a fan of Fender acoustics but the review was a good one. I'm a little surprised that Fender decided to go with this pickup system, sounds pretty awful to me, given their stellar reputation for electronics I thought they would opt to leave that one out. There are a few better systems available and why taint your reputation with a third or fourth rate system.
the Fishman Sonitone is a great pick up, the usual under saddle, and body mounted transducer type pick up
with a blend between both
The 1 you are playing, the cognac burst, is all mahogany in both Orchestra & Dreadnought. The other 2 are solid spruce tops, mahogany back & sides. For both models.
Thanks man. I bought one. But the glue around the pick guard was to much. I sent it back.
Careful people don't get their fingers burnt. As a beginner I bought a Fender acoustic CD60 SCE. I thought it would last me on my journey to learn guitar. For 6 months I did great and using your videos.
Then I started to struggle, it was so difficult to play after the 9th fret. I thought if I took it to an experienced luthier he would be able to set it up properly. Without even touching it as I handed it to him I saw the look of shock on his face. He pointed out the misengineered bridge and then just gave up with the neck telling me this guitar should never have left the factory. He did day he could improve the guitar but it would never be as good as it should have been. New bridge, new nut and extensive work on the neck. Now more experienced with guitars I could now see the problems with the guitar.
I could have sent it back under guarantee but that was just hassle, my dog had just tied suddenly and there was nolonger the two of us sitting outside playing on a summers evening. plus How long would I be without a guitar.
I've stopped playing and haven't touched it for 12 months. Shame really because my ear had improved and when I hear guitar tracks now I hear the changes and rhythms and know in theory how to approach playing them. But there is no enjoyment knowing the guitar limits me. I have since played a proper CD60 SCE and it was beautiful everything I wanted in a guitar.
I think Fender must have put their substandard parts on one guitar just to use them up and stuck a quality inspected sticker on it just to get rid of it. I now realise don't trust them to sell you a good and proper guitar and if you are new and a beginner take someone with experience to try out the guitar first before you buy it.
the CD60 is a budget Guitar at best, and has Zero in common with the PD220, PO220, or the PC220, I had the CD140 with hardcase
and after12mts the neck twisted, and threw out the top E string,??? it was a semi tone out, even at the 1st fret?
Just picked up the orchestra. Loving it so far! I picked up the dreadnaught last year and I also love that 😊
how do they compare?
Just got the guitar. its cheap chinese trash. Doesn't even sound like mahogany and smells like chemicals to boot. all the frets need to be leveled out the box. with the exposed glue and all the rough and unsanded and sharp edges, the thing is a joke. You get what you pay for. I don't know why I keep thinking deals exist in this shrinking middle class world.
@@cooloutac maybe you just got a bad one? Mine is lovely and finished Beautifully well?
Just bought this package here in the UK £469 Inc tax & shipping, fantastic value & quality at that price point so just had to.
Wow fantastic sounding guitar!
Do you have a tutorial for the song you played in the intro?
Tutorial "Through the trees" by Low Shoulder Please 🙏🏻
this guitar sounds amazing for what i need on every review but there are none in my state so i cant try it out
Hey bro, can you do a tutorial on "a thousand miles"?
It is the Fender PM-1 Standard Dreadnought All Mahogany NE, right? I think they discontinued this product shortly after I purchased it in Mar 2022. I don't know why.
Try the
Maton
The other two colors have a glossy finish and not a satin finish just in case you aren’t aware!
I tested one sunburst model (spruce top) in shopp. It's a realy nice looking and sounding guitar. The only issue for me is the 43 mm nut widht which I find to narrow for my bigger hands.
I own a Baton Rouge X54 OM CHB with 46 mm nut widht and it looks and sounds preaty similar, but for my bigger hands it's much confortable.
Just got the Dreadnought, and am finding it a tad narrow, for my big hands too? but will persevere with it, as its a nice one
I'm actually one of the very few people that will defend Fender acoustics to the end. Granted they're not up there with the top of the range acoustic brands but they're definitely not as bad as people make out. I have two. A Fender Newporter, which looks and sounds beautiful and the Fender FA-235E. I love them both so much.
But the amount of hate they get amongst the guitar community just baffles me. Anyone new to the guitar world would think they must be on a par with those cheap and nasty Amazon guitars for $40 because of how much abuse they get. I just don't get it 🤷♂️.
Oh and great video by the way. Subscribed ☺.
They are improving. The paramount series is the best bang for buck out there
You should look into a seagull acoustic guitar they're made in Canada they're amazing I think they're better than anything on the market I have five of them
Amazing guitar s. I have the s6 .
I've been playing one for 5 years every day...I love my seagull
I have à seagull coasline
My very first guitar is the Seagull S6! Love it!!
Could you teach "lot to learn" by Luke Christopher?
How many guitars do you have in total Dave?
That's a real pretty instrument. Fender does make some beauts
They sure do!
I have a fender ESV-10E. They only made them for 2 years with the cost of 1599.99 new. All solid wood and looks and sounds way better then that fender. They did not sell many of them as the cost but I put it against any Taylor or Martin. They were targeting the high end market with the espanada ESV-10E. It is still to this day the best and most expensive acoustic fender has ever made. The case is a massive plastic tank that weights 10 times as much as the guitar. It is a beautiful hand crafted masterpiece. Every time I take it somewhere people go Gaga over it. If you can find 1 for sale get it. It has amazing wood grains amazing rosette and beautiful binding. No laminate anywhere with ellipse vt system and have I said how beautiful the wood is all over the guitar.
I think Ur confusing high price, w high quality, but U never mentioned how much Urs was or anything so.....mb nt....lol
@@bryanfalcho6293 No I got mine for around $700. I wish I could post a picture of it on here. I own over 20 guitars and play in 61 South blues band with Lew Jetton. I have martins, Taylors, and a couple of pastor don pizzecs custom build acoustics. Got a couple 60's Kay's jaz guitars a b.c. rich mokingbird a Gretsch Gentleman a line 6 shuriken SR270hd a New Yorker the list goes on. The esv-10e is the BEST acoustic I have ever played hands down. It also looks amazing. My hands are starting to go from the years of playing but I still do my best with a good dose of Tylenol extra strength lol. They sold so few of them due to the high price. They were reaching for the stars without having the name backing. I mean what pro buys a fender acoustic? Unless just to bang on at home.
Sir can you please do a tutorial of never be alone by shawn mendes?
do you have a tutorial for the version of VIva la Vida you played?
Request: Creed - My Sacrifice (Boyce Avenue Acoustic Cover) 🙂
Is this better than Cort gold A8?
buff sides with "4-0" zteel wool
6:33 name of the song please?
I want it 🥺🥺
How does it stack against the Yamaha FG-850?
i need a tutorial for the intro asap
May I request Dysth3mia by Rainbow Sorrow guitar tutorial.
Any recommendations for smaller hands?? Thank you!
I believe that's exactly what you need for a smaller hands
@@pherramos lowkey what I was thinking lol finally feeling ready to move on from my beginner guitar. Ty
the fender malibu acoustic is great for small hands as well!
@@anbinh8040 ty!
Parlor style guitars, plus every guitar company makes a mini version for this very reason...Martin and Taylor definitely do for a reasonable price these days....
I want 🥺😍
Sold the moment you started playing “My friends”
WHats the first song again
Are you going to create a finger style version of the intro song? I think it's Colplay Viva La Vida right?
Available in the premium membership 😉
@@GuitarZero2Hero Yes! I've already started playing it. Thank you so much! Worth every single penny. Great job on the lesson. It's very well done.
The pickup seems to strip the mahogany right out of that thing.
E String too loud on this one. Maybe bridge or nut, at any rate Houston, we have a problem.
Whats the song in the intro called?
Viva la Vida by Coldplay
Are there any good guitars under $150?
Your gonna wanna pay at least 200 maybe look at second hand guitars, if you find a nice one to play you’ll enjoy playing more and get better quicker
Just find one U like to play, that feels good to U, check out seagull used, or any brand used, bc in America it might b a name brand but if its their enrty level guitar they don't get much love bc the system is rigged or "made" literally worse for entry level than for one w a high price tag bc they want U to spend more. Check out Squiers, Epiphones, bc those companies hve been around a while and realize that if U want new players U hve to accommodate for them reasonably and thats what they specialize in. Good luck hunting
yamaha on the used market
What's the name of the intro song? I've heard it before
Viva la vida - coldplay
@@lennardcarballo2276 thank you so much I'm going to practice it now 😌
Can you do banks by needtobreath
No, but I once taught an Orangutan how to play Little Wing.!
I need the tutorial for the intro hehe
The viva la vida
Coldplay and songname I forgot ..rule the world? hmm.
@@Leo-pr7ly viva la vida hehe
Necesito el tutorial!!
Please the man who can't be moved tutorial by the script
Searching for references to strap button placement on the upper bout. In vain...
Im in Turkey and I wanna buy an acoustic guitar. I save money since last year to buy a normal one(not a good, actually one of the lowest :( ) cuz its expensive here. Wish me luck!
Hocam CD 60 alın
@@suleymanalpkatar6054 Ben Cortlara bakıyodum aslında 2-3k arası. Bu gitar iyi mi ki biraz daha bekleyip alırım?
Fender zaten en iyi gitar markaları arasında diyorsanız ki ben gitarı bırakmam ilerde yabancı şarkılardan ilerlerim bir yerlere gelirim gitarla bunla başlarsanız 3-4 yıl kullanırsınız rahat. Cortlarda da fiyata göre değişiyor.
Eğer gitarda iyiyseniz biraz daha 5-6K kök gitarlara bakmanızı öneririm. Yeni başlıyorsanız hangisi bütçeniz için uygunsa onu alın bence
@@suleymanalpkatar6054 Klasik gitarım var aslında sadece son 1 2 senedir çalıyorum baya ilgim var. Anladım çok sağ olun.
Dreadnought or Orchestra?

Never been impressed with Fender acoustics, and there are probably better choices out there in the price range.
This guitar sounds good I don't know why you're hating on it.
@@LoneWolf-cv6pl because in 48 years of playing guitar, every Fender acoustic I've played has been garbage.
@@PreacherAtArrakeen I doubt you've actually tried out these new ones. Not everything that starts out bad continues to be bad. Things do evolve you know!
@@LoneWolf-cv6pl you're right, I haven't. But I wouldn't discount 48 years of experience, either. Are they made by Cort? Not interested. As I said, there are likely better options within the price range. For example, Eastman. If I were a beginner, I'd want a guitar that motivated me to practice. I'd choose an Eastman E1 series.But play whatever you want! Just beginners watching this should know to try as many different guitars as possible, and perhaps audition this one along with others.
Have a nice day!
@@PreacherAtArrakeen I've tried tons of expensive guitars and sometimes the least expensive sound better... So yeah! It's personal preference in the end not the brand
Made in China.... that's all I need to know. I'm out.
And yet people buy and love their $1500 iPhones made in China :-) I do get what you mean however.
These are made in China but designed in USA and checked by Fender. I've got a couple, they really are exceptional guitars for their price range. Beautifully made and a neck to die for. Try one....
Just got this guitar. Its cheap chinese trash. Low E buzzes on 2nd and 3rd frets, and checking with a rocker the frets are very unleveled out the box. wow. Doesn't even sound like a mahogany guitar. The whole thing also smells like chemicals, not a nice wood smell like my cheap martin always has. The glue on the pickguard, the rough edges and unsanded sides were too much to get over. Even looking down when playing at the strap peg on body is surround by a plastic unclean splattered mess. The action was at 5 or 6/64ths which is decent but the guitar wasn't any easier to play than my old martin dx1. I ordered from Fender and now they want to charge the cost of shipping it back plus what it cost them to ship it to me. And who knows if they will claim a restocking fee too. What a garbage company.
The other two colors have a glossy finish and not a satin finish just in case you aren’t aware!
