I'd have called this one "Show and Tell With John and Marcel"...😂

[@AcousticShoppe]

Love it - Change the title! 😂

[@DannyBrooks1]

Thank you for the time stamps!

[@georgelange5272]

Excellent presentation

[@nathanbaker9837]

Yes! The D'Adadario XS's are now my go to for my Bluegrass guitar. They sound great, and with my dozen or so instruments that I have to keep strings on, the wear factor makes it a no brainer.

[@rbfour5]

Great video- thanks!

[@AcousticShoppe]

Thanks for watching!

[@fsusubdad]

Blue chip, Elliott capo ( I have an old Dan Crary capo that lives on my D28; legacy shubb is good too), Elixir nano-web mediums, Peterson strobo clip tuner. Thanks for the show and tell!

[@briandesjardins728]

Clip on strobe from Peterson are AMAZING

[@wilsonshooting]

Good video

[@lilycat1694]

Blue Chip TP 48, and also like the Dunlop Primetone .88 and the 1.0 Primetone. Strings I alternate between D’Addario EJ17’s and Martin SP Phosphor Bronze, or 80/20’s every now and then. This is for my Martin D28 Reimagined. I need to try D’addario Nickel bronze strings.

[@IndianaBluegrass00]

Marcel is awesome

[@AcousticShoppe]

We agree!

[@jamesmaddock]

Are you guys baked ?

[@petefeltman]

Does it matter lol

[@briandesjardins728]

It's 2023, who's not baked

I still use tortoise, although finding material is really hard, I go to a lot of antique shops and buy what I can find but I really want to get my hands on a Wyatt Rice Apollo signature pick.

[@TedBarrett]

Two accessories not mentioned that I use and think helped me are a footrest and a fancy nail file, Wolfram.

[@AcousticShoppe]

Great suggestions!

[@firecrackerheart]

fun + informative. this vid was obviously filmed a bit ago, because i just saw a video last week featuring the cat eye capos in the store! 😂

[@AcousticShoppe]

A little bit! 😅

[@billdedrick1914]

John I believe made a mistake when you stated that the GHS Americana has a .026" and .036" core wire in the center. I think you meant that they have .036" and .046" string wind diameters for the D and A (not core wire) unlike most medium P.B. sets that have .035" and .045". To my ear, XS sounds less clear, less bright, less volume than the EJ17 but do last 3-4 times longer.

[@kittyemzcanada]

👍X100.....I know I'm repeating myself here, but, if you watch these videos from start to finish...you WILL learn something new.

[@AcousticShoppe]

Thanks so much for watching and supporting us!

[@justinpaquette224]

I'm literally looking at a blue chip TD 40 that I killed in about 4 months, lol. I wish I didn't go through picks so fast because I'm super broke and I spend so much money on strings and picks. I was killing wound Gs with metal finger picks in a few days, until I stared using nickel plated steel wound Gs, now they last more than a week

[@VonHanzee]

I like how toneslab sent me a cool little sanding block with my order

[@alan4sure]

Huh? I never got that!😠

[@AcousticShoppe]

We have some right here!: www.theacousticshoppe.com/shop/c/p/ToneSlabs-Pick-Buffer-x69174536.htm

[@michaelwebster8389]

I've got a bluechip TAD 40, which sounds great. my TAD 60 is too mellow for me. I wonder if people use bluechips that are too thick, because most people I hear seem to use the fatter ones which are definitely too mellow for me.

[@chrisflores8834]

Tad40 for me also

[@michaelwebster8389]

@@chrisflores8834 Perfect thickness.

[@coolhandluke2310]

Blue chip for me.

[@Mackie17]

I love my cradle capo, but I just got a new guitar(Boucher BG51) and the area where the neck meets the headstock is too thick to rest the cradle capo on the other side of the nut when you're not playing it, its the only thing I don't like about my new guitar.

[@user-wj7qt1zi3i]

Hi. I have 2 Boucher guitar and my d’addario cradle cape has no problem going over that “lump” behind the neck. Maybe you should try that capo. 👍

[@user-wj7qt1zi3i]

Hi. Sorry. It doesn’t over the lump . It sits on an angle behind the nut and before that lump. Doesn’t effect my playing at all 👍

[@michaelwebster8389]

Same problem with the volute on D-28s. In fact they're even harder than the Boucher neck end. D-18 is find, and it depends how big your cradle capo will go.

[@bryanjackson8604]

I have 3 blue chip picks that I’ve worn out. But I’ve never meet someone else with the same problem.

[@justinpaquette224]

Me, I kill them in like 4 months if I'm using it as my only pick. I would love to know why this is. I don't even play an insane amount, I probably play 2-4 hours a day 6-7 days a week

[@bryanjackson8604]

@@justinpaquette224 that’s about the same as me.

[@tomehCanada]

The only problem with the "park behind the nut" capos is of course it will drag over the finish so it is going to leave a mark after a while.

[@twangmeister]

I don't own a cradle style capo, but wouldn't they also get in the way if you wanted to hang the guitar from a wall hanger?

[@tomehCanada]

Good point @@twangmeister

[@alan4sure]

Can't see the screen on any tuner in actual sunlight outside.

[@AcousticShoppe]

Totally, we have found that the Peterson Pedal Tuner has a pretty bright screen as well as the Peterson HD tuners.

[@caseyk6625]

$45 for a dang single pick? Really? This is getting crazy

[@HD28Hailey]

i thought the same thing until i bought one and it doesn’t wear out. i was ruining jazz III’s in like 4 days, vs my bluechip which is literally looking and feeling like it was the day i bought it, and it still hasn’t lost its edge.

[@alan4sure]

Paige Clik capo, piece of crap tightening mechanism slips when tightened. What a shtty dud. Avoid!

[@ManchurianCounterweight]

I just play my purple tortex 1.17s, they seem to do everything pretty well. I'm sure I would like a bluechip, I just can't seem to spend the money.
