I Finally Finished The Studio (For YouTube and Music)

[@timoenabu5309]

My favourite part of the studio is the diffuser

[@mrwaffles1394]

I have string swings all over the house. They come with drywall inserts (molly bolts?) that can handle much more weight than a guitar.

[@planetdog1641]

It's a jolly holiday with Mary.

[@kirkrollins5591]

love the blue color looks awesome xx

[@ciw28]

lets watch this space, new space.

[@cubedomatic]

Aaaahhhhhh thank you reading my comment!

[@altbouch]

FAVE… Bassoon teacher? Yup, you would make a great teacher. You already are.

[@jessesowell8996]

Thank you, you look really good in the knew lighting.

[@peterracer1]

Good morning, your heavy drapes help a lot to absorb noises, and that defuser is cool!!

[@pauldowie1399]

My favourite bit of your new studio has to be the nut in the middle.

[@manuelsimeone]

Very nice...

[@weschesternc]

I just want to hang out on your couch...beautiful space

[@amynoonanmusic]

Re: String Swings. I’ve used them for over 15 years for guitar, violin, viola and ukulele and will likely never use another brand! Love them and being surrounded by all my instruments-regardless of temp or humidity. Although I do make sure it doesn’t get too hot or cold so as not to actually damage them.

[@capmilk]

Proud Mary.

[@emigoth]

Amazing blue light..anda AMAZING studio 🔥🤘🏻🔥 Big up from Italy

[@ghanssperling9890]

Love the t-shirt.

[@enzocastell]

super bravo enzo

[@ralphnaylor]

I am a computer programmer. All my most successful projects had their requirements stated as stories. I agree, the important thing is the story. :-)

[@stephentmarksberry4484]

Hi Mary I just spoke with Juha Ruokangas , I own a 20 year old Duke Deluxe that embodied the lessons he learned building this guitar. He was thinking about women that are excellent players and I mentioned that I followed you. He said he also watched your videos and said he was very impressed by your skills. Are you aware of his videos? He is always kind and answers some of my questions. He knows the man I buy my guitars from all left handed, He likes my friend Jerry of Jerry’s lefty guitars where I get my instruments so we have that in common also. You truly a gifted inspiration. Thank you ⚡️🖖🏽⚡️

[@btsoundspictures2322]

Congratulations Mary.... great studio..Please come and visit India...

[@RockCoversMusic]

Nice sweet studio!

[@prezinscheck]

v cool vid - love "this light is badass", that's soooo sweet 😊, great studio, congrats!

[@darinpetty3741]

You are awesome Mary

[@RJFerret]

May I suggest a hair light? Illuminating your hair and shoulders will separate your from getting lost blended into your dark background. You can search online for how portraiture lighting or directors of photography for film shoots arrange lights, so you don't get lost like you are in this vid. :-)

[@garyeasdale1004]

Sole and sole room. Good job A Request Mary Something loud soon Stay safe

[@etowahjazz]

Yes. Jazz covers?? give it a thought. Also, as an aside, your guitar bodies on the wall make you look as if you have on Disney ears!!

[@BrandonSorianoMusic]

Nice shirt!!

[@haeyongkim753]

Mary ..So great great studio. Im so envy you.. Im recording in my room with phone. Haha. You are the professional.

[@michael0765]

Really like the studio and the info about it in this video. Thanks Mary.

[@JeffFalkeMusic]

Just a suggestion on lighting. You might want a light to the side (perhaps your left side) and back pointing forward on your back/head. It will bring you out of the background a bit more. Especially when you wear darker clothing. It will make your silhouette "pop" a bit more. I think all you would need is a soft or defused light. For what it's worth. Love the set up and the new look!!

[@heresiarh]

There is one major thing missing from your studio. A Collings i30LC in blonde aged finish. That guitar is meant for you.

[@Hellseeker1]

She need AC because she's 🔥

[@josemartinez7924]

Geez, I have that exact same T-shirt ;)

[@j_freed]

Yeah Congrats! 🥂

[@timchalmers1700]

Very cool studio !!

[@AllenFamilyinOregon]

well done!

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

Love the room, it's perfect.

[@AnitaZelikson]

I want one like your…. I have a room

[@darinpetty3741]

You are awesome

[@TroyNaumu808]

Your studio looks great. I love all of your videos Mary. They are all informative and educational. A big help to educating myself and inspiration as I slowly, slowly venture forth.

[@JamesJohnson-sq3ur]

GREAT T-shirt!!! Love that place!

[@thomascoulston1431]

Holla Maria

[@jessieoakes8033]

Totally agree that it matters more about the story and person bc someone can have all the fancy stuff they want but if they aren’t interesting or most importantly genuine then I don’t want to watch.

[@Johnhasa1]

The seagulls 💀

[@jakebsowders357]

Next time you make a video of going in a music store , can ya play a few Guild Guitars ?? Maybe a S100

[@say2577]

Nice T-shirt.

[@JoeMonaghanMusic]

love your new studio! You are inspiring me to do the same 😀👍

[@abcoates]

Good that you spoke about your lighting. I would usually arguing that people should worry more about how good their lighting is than about how good their camera is (and these days good lighting is far cheaper than a fancy camera).

[@ollezimmerman]

Love your T-Shirt, where did you get it?

[@kevincozens6837]

The space looks really good. What is the make and model of the acoustic guitar on the right side of the sound break?

[@tossedpenny]

I could deal with a few seagulls in the mix background. My neighbor just recently bought a really loud hollering donkey and he doesn't sound good in my mixes.

[@mylesmacleod4306]

Off topic as usual: I thought the background music to this video was super great!

[@ahmedmadkour]

Nice my friend ☺️

[@jc3teacher265]

You deserve this awesome space! Looks amazing!

[@JDin17603PA]

Love what you have done in your new space. Looking forward to all of your future content. I also took advantage of your code and subscribed to Curiosity Stream and Nebula.

[@billframbach9316]

Lovely studio and set up. One thing that my wacky brain picked up and now I can't un-see, the two guitars hanging in the corner appear to give you Mickey Mouse ears. I'm guessing that this was not on purpose, but it is rather...fun.

[@okayguitarplayer]

So proud of that diffuser hahaha.. very cool. I may make my own! Cheers from Vancouver Island, Canada :)

[@BruceElliott]

A little late, but I have to ask - was "Oh - hi, Mark" a reference to ... The Room?? I really hope so, in which case - very well played!! I'd also like to ask if you and Mark discussed back-lighting your shoulders and head? Years ago in a video class I was taught that back-lighting is important to pull you forward visually from the background. Maybe you prefer not to do that (?). Last - I can't believe I've never noticed the little road bike tattoo before! Yet another way in which you are so completely awesome. :-)

[@gabrielemarchitelli1130]

Wait...did you just make a room reference?

[@jdavis6355]

Glad the channel is strong as ever. YT stopped putting you in my feed. Definitely need to hit like more 🔥

[@BeatleJWOL]

you can't just drop a tommy wiseau reference on us like that. geez. :p

[@lavalizard1]

That light is bad ass :) Looks like a great space - stay inspired - make beautiful music Mary.

[@J4Falpha]

Mary Mouse in the thumbnail pretty cute

[@raymorgan4657]

Very nice studio. I've been a subscriber for some time and have to say, you have one of the most soothing speaking voices I've heard. You would be wonderful doing audio books or something like that. I could listen all day.

[@nphone8399]

🙏💐🙂

[@steveansell5851]

Whats with the backing track?

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

I would love a nice studio like that one day. Right now I live pretty much in a converted office/warehouse and got about 60 guitars so the walls are covered and still most of my collection won't fit. I do need to sell some to thin the herd but they are all my favorites. Guess I will ask high and whatever sells, sells. Would also love a KZbin channel one day but I know nothing about how to do it. Need to start researching.

[@billmee4628]

Seagulls mainly Seagulls. AKA Rats with wings.

[@frankyrogers3624]

Very nice . My studio looks like a lot like yours. Where is your keyboard ? Do you have a dust problem due to a lot of electric equipment ? How do you handle that ? Franky

[@josephhughes9490]

Mary, I just adore you. Lol😄. My favorite part of your studio is you. What a talented woman.

[@Darkmistcloud21]

my favorite part of your studio is the guitars on the wall they inspire me to play more

[@snoopaka]

It looks like you have Micky Mouse ears on (Look at 4:41)...... Lighting and sound are great

[@tomrankin4530]

It is hard to pick out one specific favorite thing about your new studio; it all looks really nice. I agree with you that the blue light is super cool.

[@F350Dually]

Hi Mary, great studio upgrades, and your videos are always top notch! Looking forward to your new content, you're doing an awesome job!

[@michaelionkin7465]

haha, I imagine Steven Seagals standing outside and from time to time shouting through the window :)

[@timothyjohnson9739]

My favorite part of your studio is seeing such a happy you in it. Thanks for all you do, Mary!

[@jimcleary]

How did you determine the specs for the diffuser? I want one 😁

[@JamesJohnson-sq3ur]

I have enjoyed watching your journey over the years. Thank you for your work, sharing, and most of all, the wonderful music.

[@yippy327]

Girl, you deserve all the good, coming your way! Wishing you all the best in the future!

[@vedantjumle4569]

Really cool guitars Mary!

[@MarySpender]

I'll have to do a guitar collection video in the next few months :)

[@RobertSaxy]

I can second the string swing wall mounted instrument hooks. I have a one guitar, bass trombone, 2x trumpet/flugelhorn and French horn and they’re great, I play all my instruments way more now. Also inexpensive

[@stephenchow5161]

as much as i love you as a musician….. have you ever considered doing voiceover work.

[@smithmusicstudies]

I'm happy for you!! It feel so good to have a space. I just made a studio space in my large mudroom and laundry room. Not ideal, especially when I need laundry done 😂 but it works for where I am and our space grows with us. There is no reason for you to not put money into the space you use. You do great work. Keep it up 💜

[@benmaguire4098]

You know I love your work .. ..But two Gtrs on the wall behind your head look like Mickey Mouse ears lol .. luckily you are so charismatic & photogenic with such a fabulous voice that most people won't notice .. I know the studio is all a work in progress & only mention because .. perhaps it will help .. cheers

[@frankboyd.]

Mary, the light that you spread on the world is also pretty bad ass. 🔥🎸🎶

[@markaitkenguitar]

Everything about your honesty, humility, and readiness are incredibly inspiring. Thank you!

[@carlcann9119]

The blue light is like your PRS. For drawing, light from the left illuminates a pen point in your right hand. For lefties it would have to come from the right. The point creates the shadow rather than is within a shadow. Yes, this matters.

[@larrydj549]

Any bassoon videos upcoming? And also where is your studio in relation to your home?

[@charlesfuller4363]

This is awesome. You deserve a sweet studio space. I can't wait to see what it will inspire in your future.

[@xyzcomp08]

Always enjoy your videos and I feel more connected than ever when you wear the Norman's Rare Guitars shirts. I'll ask Norm to send you a few more next time I'm in his place. I love Brighton too, it's all good stuff!

[@leaharrington4472]

[@caprise-music6722]

Same. 💯% Except I have 3 in the living room, 7 in the bedroom and 1 at my local music shop for service lol

[@rawson74]

My favorite part of the studio is YOU! It’s the most important part of the space. Keep up the good work Mary! 😁

[@johnduffy46]

You would make an outstanding jazz singer. Your voice is made for jazz .

[@j_freed]

Such a huge commercial market for Contralto Jazz singers... oh, wait but is there?

[@jonathandoyle8231]

I picture Mary's singing voice as flowing out through an old wooden beer barrel. A voice that picks up all the texture and earthlyness from the timber before it gets heard. It would be really suited to celtic music with that devastating mid range. Most singers voices are the equivalent of the modern aluminium barrels.

[@Johnhasa1]

💯

[@stevedkelly]

I hope I'm not the only one who got "The Room" reference lol.

[@birdman24k10]

Thanks for all the content Mary, you're amazing! Just an observation, the guitars on the wall make it look like you have Mickey Mouse ears ha. Not at all offensive. Cheers!

[@lascheque]

I like how the guitars in the background give you Mickey Mouse ears :D

[@sanjuacharya]

WHOA

[@smartmammal9926]

Congratulations! I like the wood art, it is art, functional, but art. My WFH/Studio has morfed as well. "Studio" can be taken lightly as I am such a novice. :)

[@jamesharris9352]

Don't You Wish You Took Up The Flute Instead... 😅 They Are Always The First To Pack Up & Leave... No Room! Ask A Drummer About Not Having Enough Room! 😖 😱 😭 DANG! Blessings James...

[@brettdrought6181]

I have to say that my favorite part of your new studio, as well as your old studio, is you. You welcome us into your life and share some things that I would find difficult to share. But that is what makes you, you. You are a very giving person and people can learn a lot if they pay attention to you. I feel when I am in your community, whether here or on Patreon, that you have a loyal gathering of souls that feel very protective of you. Keep up the good work.
