That's possibly one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard, absolutely fantastic, remarkable playing, just stunning

[@anshu6143]

Somehow I felt so nostalgic, made me remember beautiful days in past, greeneries, lakes, rain, old school, first love, friends, my mom. This is so beautiful. This made me cry.

[@cvrfkoh]

It definitely has a nostalgia :) Thank you for the listen/view and comment.

[@nickmagic7753]

I listen to this daily good sir. I’m going through a separation which can only be described with a piece of music like this. It was a holy relationship of healing and lots of hard work. Thank you for recording this, I bought this exact guitar because it’s tone touched my heart and yes it does every time I play it, to now heal myself. 🙏🏼

[@princeofd6612]

Bought this guitar a week ago. Love it. Saw lots of great KZbin reviews but this one is by far and away the best demo. Amazing.

[@matthewjohnson6644]

Best demo of this model I’ve seen. Really shows off how clear and defined it is as well as its dynamic range. Truly punches above its size. Wonderful musicianship too.

[@regineuhe6657]

Awesome playing. I could watch and listen to this all day long. I had no idea my little guitar could sound like that.

[@danbgt]

WOW!! I just bought one of these guitars. Maybe, if I live long enough, I will be able to play like that. My compliments and appreciation sir.

[@kless001]

My gawd this man can play.

[@Sunny25611]

Thank you. I’ve been agonizing over the decision whether to buy this one or a Baby Martin. I’ve decided and just purchased this after listening to your beautiful demonstration. 💖

[@NoFretts]

Beautiful...just beautiful. VERY talented guitarist. Thank you.

Nice playing! Looking to get back into fingerstyle guitar after a couple years of baritone ukulele and prefer smaller bodies. I just love the sound of that Taylor Mini with a mahogany top. Done. Ordering one this weekend. Thanks!

You are truly talented, and blessed from above ✝️

I have the GS Mini in Spruce and one in KOA (Plus). The Taylor GS Mini’s are remarkable guitars regardless of tone woods. Sounds great!

[@estudandoviolaoclassico]

Fantastic❤

[@zohngenade9087]

Cool Fred!

[@JennaTrinity]

One word: WOW!!

[@josephsantana3094]

This easily competes with my $2000 300 series Taylor and I’m on my way to buy one of these right now lol only gripe is I wish it came with a 1 3/4 nut width but I’ll manage.

[@cvrfkoh]

That makes two of us... My only gripe.

[@mastershake4237]

Yeah thats quite a demo sir.

[@daveallsopp320]

Absolutely outstanding, have you recorded a cd of your music😎😎😎😎

[@cvrfkoh]

Not yet :)

[@JesseRela]

[@cvrfkoh]

Jess Bridgette thank you :)

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Awesome!

[@XavierGuillemet]

Amazing !!!!!

[@jolujo5842]

That is why I love my GS MINI Mahogany. 🤕Just wish I could play it like that.

[@joshuamaebanyamasege9437]

Calum Graham.. farewell

[@cvrfkoh]

In the description box

[@13bluestars]

Mine arrives tomorrow. I'm super psyched. By the way... how to I "down load" the finger picking skills? ;-)

[@MrVlasticka]

absolutely top

[@chessdude67]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful playing! The guitar sounds amazing as well. I am an adult beginner at guitar. I purchased this same guitar that you’re playing in the video two years ago and never got around to playing it. I just got it out of the bag yesterday and I want to put some new strings on it. Something that would be very easy for a beginner to play. Could you recommend a good set of strings for a beginner? Easy to press down on till I get used to playing for two or three months / building up some strength in my fingers and calluses as well. I was a professional drummer for 35 years, now I would like to learn to play guitar. Thank you for any advice. I saved this video to my favorites! Take care.

[@dom8148]

so u bought it 4 years ago now. Have you got around to playing it?

[@hdihiiehei]

Taylors are known for note articulation. Martins are known for great sustain.

[@germangirl16]

I just got my mini mahogany yesterday and I love the sound and size of it. But for some reason mine doesn’t look like yours. Yours has more striking brown colors and a reddish pick guard. Mine doesn’t look like that

[@robinlindner7220]

Do you have the music for the piece your playing? Thanks!

[@madzsioson2446]

Watching your video made up my mind to buy one. May i know if you change the strings or is it still the original?

[@cvrfkoh]

It’s been a few years since I posted the video. Might be in the description box or in the video. But in those days I played Santa Cruz strings. Could well be that they were a set of low tensions.

[@jjchavez7108]

Is that only that guitar your playing? Sounds like different guitars are playing in the background. Sorry for the stupid question just want to know. It is extremely beautiful and I love it.

[@upcycleelectra8311]

GS mini Mahogany the finest sounding Laminated 3/4 sized guitar in the World. (Once set up ) Sand Down the Bone saddle a few Mil to sort out the sky high Action. Swap out the plastic Peg for Bone albany & D"Addarrio strings Will simply put.. very Expensive full sized solid wood guitars to shame.. For a fraction of the price..

[@mcdee56]

Best tone so far! What's your signal chain, please?

[@cvrfkoh]

Gosh. It’s been a while. But I think in that vid it was a Lewitt LCT 640 and LCT 340 in a Stereo pair - into an Audient iD 14- logic X - stock plug ins.

[@Jam-m7m]

I think Mahogany is a magical sounding wood

[@RPMac]

Nice !!!!!

[@robinlindner7220]

Friedrich---very nice! What is your setup? Pickup? Thanks for the video,it's helped me pick the mahogany GS Mini! Just Beautiful!! Robin

[@cvrfkoh]

Hi Robin. Thank you. No PUP in this one. Mic (Lewitt LCT 640) - Into Audient id14 - Logic X

[@kevinwing6786]

Tabs?!

[@rrrromzutube]

Were you using a Tonewood Amp here? Sounds great!

[@cvrfkoh]

Hello and thank you. But no. I don’t own a TWA. The reverb in that is a 3rd party plug in by LiquidSonics. It’s called Seventh Heaven.

[@arrw1994ify]

DAMN

[@ultramagnetic3556]

What are you using to record the sound? A microphone or is the guitar plugged in and using a pickup? Great playing!!

[@adminema6116]

tremendo
