Blindfolded Martin Guitar Challenge, D-13 vs. D-15 vs. D-18 vs. D-28

[@MickeyAbraham2022]

While I didn't do that well it was still really fun to be a part of this video!

[@cmcapps1963]

As a Martin lover: thank you for your service!

[@GuntherBaganz]

And we enjoyed it a lot anyway.

[@thadeggen2442]

You all have such great chemistry and humility. The banter, the music and the insights you all shared about guitar choices and soungs- delightful!

[@cmcapps1963]

First I just want to say thank you to the Lessons With Marcel team! I've been playing guitar-self taught and poorly- for 20 years. I've finally decided to buckle down with the bluegrass genre and your site is better than the more expensive ones by far! I try to pay as much as I can for each tab but the fact that they are all voluntary means so much! I have a Martin Road series d-10e at the moment but this helps so much when I contemplate my next upgrade. Could you maybe take on your most challenging video to date: not a monster Tony Rice or Billy Strings lick, but a "why your wife needs you to buy another Martin guitar" video? You will TRULY be the GOAT if you can!

Did I really just watch 20 minutes of non-stop bullshittery and enjoy every second of it? Why yes, I did :D

[@patreilly1137]

This might be my favorite guitar video ever.

I went to a store this weekend that had 13 Collings and loads of Martins. If I had been blindfolded I think I would’ve picked a Yamaha FG9. My eyes wouldn’t let me do it.

[@hologram503]

I only liked once I heard that Sweet Georgia Brown solo. Man that was great!

[@uriahedwards]

Been loving the IBMA vids lately! Great work Marcel and team

[@notsosweatygamers6858]

SUCH A GOOD VID YALL ARE SO UNDERRATED

[@coltknight3945]

I really like the Martin D-15, and always wondered why they don't get more appreciation.

[@RonDuligi]

So many great videos recently!

[@tdub2888]

Now that was a fun video. Thank you!

[@pecosnick45]

I do love my D-15. Sound is heavenly, just lacks a bit of cut. One of the most underrated bluegrass guitars for situations outside of large jams.

[@fatampersand]

The whole 15 series is phenomenal.

[@786Basil]

Go Hayes!!!

[@ryanconley3102]

The likelihood is “not high”

[@markbyrum4743]

I would have liked to see a D-35 in the mix! Good job!

[@RickyConnelley]

It would have been so cool to see someone like Tony Rice do this test. I’d say he could actually tell

[@joekagerer]

This totally vindicates me for all guitar comparisons. I hear flowery comments about guitar tones and tone woods, and I just hear acoustic guitar. These guys are Pros and they can't tell Spruce/Rosewood from all Mahogany when they're playing them... In my mind, it all comes down to the specific guitar and how you feel when you're playing it...

[@scubasteve4093]

Jakes hilarious. Good video

[@Tyler_Wilson]

So basically I should buy a D-13 and save the dough for lessons, picks, and capos. Gotcha.

[@HayesGriffin]

Yes!!!

[@uvp5000]

After watching this, I am confident I would get all of these instruments guessed incorrectly.

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

funny enough a year or so ago I was going to buy a Martin at a local shop, I tried a 28 an 18 an 19, 15, and lastly pickup a 15m street master which looked horrible but after spending time playing all of them over and over again I ended up buy the ugly duckling 15M Streetmaster. it just sang far more than any of the others and was literally half the price of a D28 I went in with the cash to buy!

[@TheChocDonk2000]

Is there much difference at all between the standard D15 and the Street Master?

[@caponcrossingfarm4283]

Hey love you

[@jasper_north]

Just bought a SuperD

[@commandobrando21]

The weight is probably what alsrmed both of them of the D13. Its too obvious.

[@Steve-si8hx]

Great players, but one guy really has no idea what he's playing by sound 😅

[@LuckyInCards]

What fun! And they sound great (blind folded).
