Hey brother! I have the same Martin . But mine is a DCX-E1 with a cutaway and a fishman pickup in it, but looking at your neck heel is like looking at my Martin! It is probably mt favorite acoustic, along with my Taylor Mini, which has wonderful bgight tones and is easier to play in some ways ,as it is not as big as the Dreadnaut (spelling?) to wrap your arms around. I think your lessons are absolutely the finest on You Tube. You are clear, concise and you play the sections of a song one step at a time. The calming nature and honesty you bring is so very vital to being a teacher, and on that point ,.I am taking your approach to teaching my students, and trying to teach in a manner very similar to you. In fact ,on this song I had not noticed the G to F part of the chorus part. Thank you for setting my plate correctly! It now falls in to a much more even timing than I had taught myself. I really hope you continue to give lessons here, as every single one of them has been pretty much flawless!! Thank you for your time and efforts in giving your gift to so many happier people now that they have discovered you!! Skoal!
