1929 National Round Neck Tri-Cone Style 4 | Guitar of the Day

[@demarchiordie]

That level of detail... all made by hand, amazing.

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

LISTEN AT 1:28 SEC AND YOU CAN HEAR THE CONES AND BRIDGE BEING AFFECTED BY THE VIBRATION FROM MARKS VOICE ~ THIS INSTRUMENT IS STUNNING SIMPLY STUNNING ~ GOOD HISTORY LESSON ON THIS GUITAR ~ FANCY FANCY FANCY ~ WHAT A SOUND ~ OMG SUCH RESONANCE ~ I OWN ONE RESONATOR GUITAR ROUND NECK ~ CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042 USA

[@Voxshades]

Yeah, the reverberation of that thing is very noticeable as Mark is describing it. Every time he turns the tri-cone body up towards his voice the echo can be heard. Listen around the 2:04 point as well.

Oh. My. God. That guitar is so resonant it sounds like it's ready to feed back. What a sound. Mark, Jen, you are the best. GOTD is appointment viewing.

[@spliffburger]

Will always remain my very favorite video of "Guitar of the day". Thank you for your service mark.

[@davidkieltyka9]

The bodies for these guitars were made by a company owned & run by Adolph Rickenbacker. George Beauchamp was later one of the founders of what became the Rickenbacker guitar company. After WWII National morphed into Valco, the "L" standing for Louis Dopyera, brother of John. Also: Dobro = DOpyera BROthers.

[@steveredenbaugh9058]

Interesting Info David.. Thanks!

[@christophermay4998]

David Kieltyka cool info....nice to know who and where things come from.....this site is like the Jay Leno garage of guitars.....so interesting....

[@Geronimo122]

Oh yeah, Ya Gotta Move! The slide stuff sounded fabulous--lovely guitar and excellent playing-bravo!

[@StevenSeagull69]

Hello everyone sorry I haven't been keeping you guys to date, but unfortunately my mom passed away last week peacefully, thank you to mark and jen and everyone that wished us well. She loved the show as do I and my family.

[@chord972]

Visited this video for the history lesson. Not disappointed! Thank you.

[@mikeymojo8299]

#WeirdAssWednesday #1929RoundNeckTriCone 1) Romeo & Juliet / Dire Straits 2) you gotta move / Rolling Stones (Mississippi Fred McDowell) #ThoughtsAndPrayersForTexas 🎸🙏🏻🇺🇸 thanks mark & jen 🎸🎥

[@FrLarryDuffman]

Mike M. Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits

[@mikeymojo8299]

FrLarryDuffman cool, thanks Larry 🎸👍🏼

[@mikeymojo8299]

BTW, that slide playing was super bad ass 🎸

[@msspi764]

2) Sittin' on Top of the World / Walter Vinson, Lonnie Chatmon, Mississippi Sheiks, 1930 I love Fred McDowell, know people who knew him, but he didn't write this one.

[@mikeymojo8299]

msspi764 correct, author/writer I think is unknown. But McDowell's 1965 slide version inspired the Stones version which brought this song mainstream.

[@rainerwinkler1026]

Boioioing -Mark Agnesi, 2017

[@mtacoustic1]

Sounds a whole lot better than expected when finger-picked!

[@brianbianco7316]

Mark, Thanks for doing guitar of the day...your a trooper! We love it. May you have a masculine child who is born with exceptional talent to play the guitar like Hendrix.

[@kylemorgan7525]

I've lived in Houston my whole life. Thank you for the shoutout and support Mark. Love your videos

[@micahwinters7021]

Romeo & Juliet is one of my favorite songs! Gotta love it mark!

[@onemanswrld]

Never ever have I seen or heard one before. Thanks for expanding my world....😊

[@CurtisMcLeodMusic]

Omg. When he turned that guitar around!!! The back side of that thing is beautiful! (Yes, I'm an ass guy)

[@keithruddell1800]

i am too man. let's talk about it.

[@HollyHoagland]

gorgeous

[@ohmygod925]

by the way, nobody know how many songs Mark can play, and how quickly he learn can learn new song, amazing!it's always the first youtube clip I watch every morning when I get to office in HK

[@shanehodge5180]

Just awesome

[@Jinjukid]

Love that song! Great Sounding National! Dream Guitar.

[@stkbkr1]

Mark, thanks for the history, love your playing. Rock on!!!

[@unique23b32]

See it's a Nashville. Ooh. I hope he plays Knopfler's Romeo and Juliet. Goes to couch, has a capo. Ooh. Maybe he will. First note, YES! Awesome guitar and playing (in open G for those asking). Best episode ever. Thanks.👍

[@poppadukes1273]

amazing tone!!!

[@DLawrenceMarketing]

Very informative Mr. Agnesi. Beautiful.

[@jamesjohnson5333]

Wow bling bling bling ! looks and sounds great . Good job Mark !

[@CrazedGin]

Used to have one of these, well not an original, was from the 90s. But my mother had bought it for my dad and when they split I kind of inherited it. Unfortunately my mother sold it because she needed money. Miss that thing so much.

[@cttdrn]

Oh man, I knew you had to play Romeo and Juliet! Lovely song, always brings tears to my eyes, thank you buddy

[@texcoast44]

Layin' everybody low, with a lovesong that he made. Bravo!

[@conman7951]

Awesome guitar. Great song choices too. 👍🏻🎸

[@steveryan1611]

Gotta appreciate the knowledge you have about guitars, learned so much from watching these videos ✌🏻

[@greensombrero3641]

great playing mark - nice work jen

[@leftybass5860]

Love your playing, Mark. Had to watch this one all the way to the end.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Hey! That was some badass slide playin' ,cool video,thanks!!

[@Inkfliktedtattoosandpiercings]

Beautiful guitar. Great job Mark. Hello Jen 😁

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Cool... thanks

[@shawnstoner3602]

Wonderful guitar, played beautifully

[@JoseCastillo-cr3gh]

No joke man. I live in Houston. First thing I did when I heard that shit was coming was get my guitars and amps on high ground.

[@lanceriffle4841]

So nice!!!!

[@Attercop47]

when you first opened the case your voice was resonating off of that resonator , that was cool !

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Super cool guitar man, nice playing as well

[@Theo-hc5ob]

Listen to how it rings when Mark is speaking when he opens the case. Thank for playing Romeo and Juliet. I saw a steel guitar and immediately thought about Mark Knopfler.

[@seanrusxxx2382]

Nice guitar. I bet it's going to be sold before Sat.

[@fenderjazz6213]

Beautiful sounding guitar, and both songs were absolutely incredible! !!!!

[@robotsongs]

Fuck YES! Weird ass Wednesday! National is an American manufacturer putting out weird ass guitars! You know what else is a weird a(we)s(some) guitar? A HARMONY ROCKET IN REDBURST!!! EDIT: wait, happy birthday baby Agnisi?!?!

[@Box-vw2ds]

Amazing guitar nice job on Romeo and Juliet MA!

[@jeremygray3863]

I knew he'd go with dire straights, I love it

[@impogba1]

Beautiful Tri-Cone

[@jalanhart]

not sure if it was the fancy one like this, but there are great videos with Son House playing one on "death letter blues" that has such a great sound.

[@davidallen346]

That's one beautiful looking resonator guitar

[@Stevieboy130664]

Utterly, utterly lovely in both looks and sound. Less brash than the more common single cone.

[@DosLobos]

One of the best GOTD to date!

[@wilson4180]

Great vid!! You can kiss that national goodbye, I bet it's already sold or will be tomorrow. I hope to God you pull out a burst this week..

[@TheDp1965]

$18,000 range... Deal or No Deal ????. Beautiful Guitar. Very Cool.

[@flying_rat]

okay but when is JOEL gonna do an episode??? Or Norm? or anyone else in the store. I love you mark but I think it'd be really interesting to see what would happen.

[@michaelrussell146]

Great slide work. #Weirdasswednesday.

[@treatb09]

i forget how many styles they had. but i always loved the engraved ones…and its even a tricone. so rare, so valuable, soooooo good sounding. listen to how balanced it is! just talking will get those cones moving. i know all resonators resonate, but they don't ring like that anymore. sooo clean, the tricones are just something else. they are far too expensive for me to ever invest in one, i'd probably never play it enough anyway, you have to be a resonator guy. i just appreciate them.

[@spawnman73]

Awesome Mark thanks for doing this shit everyday. I LOVE IT!

[@brianbianco7316]

Do you have any National dobro's laying around at Norman's Rare Guitars to demo? The tri-cone style 4 is sweet, but out of my price range. Your an excellent guitarist who adapts to a wide range of styles. Major prop's to you! And Jen is amazing too!

[@jacobreece1971]

You guys want to see a really weird guitar. That double neck BC Rich Bich on CME

[@SuperStreezy]

Holy shit do I want one!

[@Incarcerant]

I was talking with a couple of friends about the National Style 4's last night lol, spooky timing

[@AnalAttrition]

Thankyou so much for playing Dire Staits ! All I could think of was Knopfler while you did the intro

[@DavidGarcia-dg8nq]

This was great

[@rttrtt8965]

Your best ever video - beautiful

[@msspi764]

The thing that makes these great for slide is the early ones, the neck is flat. No radius at all. That means you can play, or deaden, any strings you want across the whole neck. Amazing sounds you can get from that. They pretty much only do radiused necks now on the round necks.

[@cfcnotbummerful]

Thank you Mark, I enjoyed that

[@guitarilla9823]

I'm gonna go ahead and stop this video as soon as the case opens and say this: 1) that is GORGEOUS! And 2) if you don't play some slide on this I will be highly disappointed .....back to the video

[@guitarilla9823]

You Gotta Move did not disappoint

[@asd36f]

How many of these gorgeous guitars still survive? How many were made back in the day?

[@guitardudeguy3139]

Nice video Mark, thanks for the National history lesson..I have a type 2 I think..just not that old..very cool sounding..What's the difference between Dobro..is this the same two guys? I know Dobro is a brand..just wondered if it was the same guys from National.

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy Weird Ass Wednesday everyone! Pray 4Texas!

[@phileniumr9839]

that guitar was so dope, and really well played. But please mark and jen do a Burns

[@jacobreece1971]

When you break your G string halfway through the song And you were working the pole like a pro up to that point

[@guitarilla9823]

Jacob Reece ahh the g string jokes...classic

[@kylesaloka1563]

Oh man. Never heard that one before. ;)

[@RRW276]

Jacob Reece Waits. I didn't see he brokes it.

[@jacobreece1971]

kyle saloka Sorry lol had a rough day I couldn't be creative. Plus I'm sober and will stay that way. I broke a $170 dollar bong, so I just said fuck it I'm not getting another one.

[@jacobreece1971]

JJ's Reversals Good idea lol. Maybe if I get some of that Atlanta bud. I was cleaning it. The freaking thing was 18.5 inches and had 3 honeycomb percs. I was standing over my bathtub shaking it with the rubbing alcohol and salt solution. It slipped out of my hand from probably like 5 feet. It hit that porcelain bathtub and it shattered. It pissed me off so badly. I thought to myself that it wasn't even worth it. Atlanta has some crazy good stuff. When I can get it I prefer Blue Dream. It's a sativa dominant hybrid that helps with my depression and anxiety without a sedative side effect. If I'm having bad insomnia troubles I take a hit of Gorilla Glue #4. That shit is so potent it usually puts me to sleep before I can even get the munchies. If I want to show off I'll bring out the Grandaddy Purple. I shouldn't be that torn up about it. I haven't consumed cannabis in close to 2 months. I was cleaning it to shelf it. I'm probably not going to smoke again. I've found good "legal" treatments that have been effective so it's not a necessity anymore. I don't like the feeling of just getting stoned. Cannabis helped make things better for me when other medicine wasn't available. Now that I have it there's no point in risking getting arrested or something. I broke it a while back.

[@skyking228]

Apparently they didn't etch Skulls back in the 1920's... Excellent/fun video. Thanks!

[@seesquared08]

There you have it!

[@musicstewart9744]

I love the information & the playing on these videos. But in the "show me the money" aspect, I wonder how quickly the featured instruments head out the door as compared to similar instruments not featured.

[@DiscountSeanConnery]

As soon as I saw that capo on 3 I knew.

[@TheJcradioman]

Wow what a tone you can get out of that bad boy!!!

[@peterdvideos]

Mark is so good at this.

[@surfneptune]

Hell yeah! Great guitar

[@maxwellbrand]

very cool

[@danieldecrosta9762]

Well i just pooped my bridges.I have seen the light .thank you norm mark n jen wow

[@_clauscarstensen]

Would it be possible to buy instruments by mail from Norm's Rare Guitar?

[@JamesWalshBristolKids]

Nickel is used in these guitars by National. The largest nickel mine is in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Every Canadian should own one of these. By doing so we support our workers in the small towns.

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@DatNESGuy85]

Mr.Stranger @Jacob Reece found him.

[@joebodynobody764]

I am now inspired to buy a resonator.....that sounds fantastic finger-style. Goya Panther bass please!!!

[@TommyBNedergaard]

F Yeah what an awsome guitar🤘🤘🤘 Can you please do a V??

[@markwhitelaw7192]

Killer sounding guitar! Just wondering, does anyone know why these tri-cone models have the T shaped piece on top of the strings? Does it not get in the way or playing?

[@ironpirites]

Bob Brozman, sadly missed. RIP.

[@bobneptune]

Dude!

[@xJaGG3d]

Hey Mark it might be a tall order, but do you think you could do a 50s strat if you have one? Especially one with a fat neck.

[@crazyuncleduke8012]

Hello Mark, Jen, Mike M and others who are thinking about us here in Texas. Sadly we need more than thoughts and prayers to rise above the devastation. I humbly ask everyone to donate to the disaster relief fund of your choice. ( Mine goes to the Red Cross.) Something even as small as the price of a pack of guitar strings would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Uncle Duke

[@tomjohn9385]

Nice bright tone, and it's able to get dirty as well. Vox guitar coming soon???

[@MrStephen54]

Due date +1 Mark...keep calm and carry on strumming....good luck Mr & Mrs Agnesi

[@jackcarlson9645]

Hey mark, could you play some cat Stevens for my late grandma this flattop Friday?

[@ohmygod925]

May I ask what the tuning is?

[@anthonysilva5312]

Marky!!! Great history lesson. BTW, WTF would that cost someone?

[@jgodin312]

I was thinking - is he gonna play Romeo and Juliet? Is He??!! and then YES

[@davebutcher8150]

That's it I quit. I bet those firebirds sounded great to. I guess I'll never know. Still love you both. Keep up the good work.

[@steveredenbaugh9058]

Is that a Kyser Combination Capo/Hat hook?

[@robertm8552]

Psst... Mark, my big 2 1 birthday is Sept. 9th. Itd make my whole year if you did a Gibson RD and played some Wang Chung.
