I was going to try to guess on the song titles......boy was I going to be wrong! Thanks Mike!

[@mikeymojo8299]

Jesse Yasaitis 👍🏼

[@JeffCfreeradiorevolution]

Mike M. Change the World might be one of the worst songs of all time.... after My Father’s Eyes... just awful

[@JoeHakos]

Oh the humanity.... thanks Mark and Jen

[@jimbonacum8917]

As a friend of mine likes to say, "there is dignity in all work." The key is to find work that provides one with a sense of satisfaction. I have worked at many things for many reasons from things I did to pay the rent to others that provided me with a real sense of personal fulfillment. I wish that for one and all. Each job has its good points and its bad points and it is important to understand that. I am sure that working at Norm's is the same. But despite how busy you must be know that many of us appreciate your efforts and also envy you the chance to play the sort of guitars that we can only dream of. For example I have never played a genuine blackguard Tele but at least i get the vicarious thrill of seeing you do it so please keep up the good work.

[@JtotheP68]

Jim Bonacum Well said, truly wise words.

[@johneason6540]

Mark, you are awesome. Don't let the haters bring you down. Always great info and great tune. Thanks

[@pneumatic00]

That's gonna be a cannon of a guitar. Beautiful.

[@WriterMikeMonson]

Mark you are not a mere 'worker' you are an artist, you are singular, you are a STAR. I don't know who was dissing you but they don't get it.

[@robertobrien2903]

People need to appreciate Guitar of the day a little more...Love the show!!!!!

[@michaelmerritt1722]

Mark and Jen don't ever worry about the trolls! There's always at least one who dislikes or complains. Keep up the excellent work!!!

[@RockHardRiffs]

[@davidcampbell4174]

[@fishhooks100]

Boom Box! Clean...... so clean.......... hard to believe how old it is.........

[@davidpotter817]

Love your song selection on the second song sounded great 👍

[@lukejacko888]

I'd love your job Mark.

[@jerry12601]

I always play guitar of the day through my Bose 701. This guitar sounded particularly sweet. So when does does the new website go up.

[@mariozamprogno1654]

Great rant keep up the good work

[@ronnielawson8276]

That is SICK!

[@blindguitarfox]

Dream guitar!

[@andrewswift7825]

Wildflowers is amazing. Whole album is amazing. But that song can make just about anyone happy. R.I.P. Tom Petty. We all love and miss you

[@nsmtyler7]

Great guitar and really nice demo, Mark. Hey don’t let the bastards get you down! Remember you and the store have friends out there - even some old guys who fly down from Seattle on their birthday to hang out in your store! P.S. Next time I’ll come armed with some cash and will buy one of them there guitars!

[@coledraper5694]

Love that diss at the beginning 😂😂

[@robertm8552]

Yeesssssss. I love when Mark plays Wildflowers!

[@mastertung7]

Mark..you do a great job, hope to visit NRg. One day..you work hard for your money, respect.

[@dannyboy8555]

mastertung7 “so hard for your money, so you better treat her right”???

[@patrickohagan8305]

Well done.

[@RS-vk7op]

Being a LA store and being such a Tom Petty fan I am surprised that the Byrds don't get much love on the program, in my humble opinion everything that is LA R&R started the day the Byrds took over Ciro's and the Whiskey. Before the Byrds the sunset strip was not where its at all. Do a rick for Roger or how about a Bbender Tele for Clarence! Am I right folks!

[@scottman-cl4jm]

My dream guitar 000 Martin maybe some day

[@omagoo585]

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff right there

[@lauramoore9659]

Nice!

[@darrellstaples7011]

Beautiful.✌👍 What you got for my birthday A strat for April 28th calgary alberta.

[@jamesstewart6801]

Pouring concrete is lots of work. But dealing with the public. And musicians at that. I'd go nuts. Give me a vibrator and a concrete truck any day. Then I can come and watch guitar of the day. Thanks Mark and Jen.

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

perfect Jen!!

[@nick1226]

It’s the freakin weekend!

[@jackorion7157]

Yeah!!

[@martinmartin8871]

[@12Radius]

Love short scale !

[@nicklevan8058]

The triple o size is so awesome

[@johneason6540]

I hope you found a good home for this beautiful guitar

[@Fnortner01]

What is this new show of which you speak again?

[@RichardCSLow]

Hey Mark, I wonder why there is no herringbone in this guitar or most herringbone has only existed in the model made during wartime? Btw, thank you Mark and Jen for shooting and editing GOTD everyday!

[@capt.lovestarii2752]

Mark, .Jen Keep up the good work. Always love watching GOTD. I hear the shame crap about musicians. "Never worked a day in their lives". lol.

[@billhufford7209]

Haha awesome rant

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Mr.Stranger DUG 🎩

[@johnoconnor2648]

Where is the pricing for a) Martin 000-28 1950s and b) Martin D-28 1950s? Is there like a prime era for 000s? I'm interested in buying one of the two. Cheers, Johnny

[@tomjohn3364]

Super nice Martin. It's been a very good week so far. Sweet sounding guitar. Still waiting for something Vox. I know how about a Vox guitar or bass.

[@kentbeery8653]

Mark it would be cool if you tell what the price is on these Guitar of the day

[@anthonyc1883]

Kent Beery It has been asked many, many times on these videos. Apparently, that's not their policy. Call.

[@yinyangja]

That's the only accoustic you need for your collection :)

[@ianpavelko3827]

Today's setlist: 1. Eric Clapton-Change the World 2. Tom Petty-Wildflowers (thanks to Mike M.) ;)

[@mikeymojo8299]

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy Flat-Top Friday everyone! Hey Mark, next SG play some Frank Marino!

[@mortensen1961]

[@thomasrichmond601]

Poor Mark, lol.. still a great guy, thanks Mark ✌️and Jen 🌷 byeeeeee

[@davebutcher8150]

[@HBSuccess]

Dave Butcher maybe with 2 more zeros. LOL

[@ardiris2715]

Tioga Fretworks $1000.00

[@ludoms100]

Nope its 3795$

[@ardiris2715]

Sweetwater sells new ones for $3000.

[@davebutcher8150]

Tim Volk well I just bought another guitar for the collection. So $3000 is way out of my budget.

[@douglaswalther8489]

The Jacket!

[@thomasnettleton289]

Has that guitar EVER been played, besides today? Oy vey what a work of art! It needs to be played for a few days and then put back in its climate-controlled vault. Great episode!

[@HBSuccess]

HAHA THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Thanks for the shout-out (about time) but we love you guys and the hardships you endure with all those rock stars and 6-figure vintage instruments and so forth LOL

[@captnorm4727]

It ain’t a job if you love what you do ....

[@TheRockyhockey007]

[@ismagui3320]

Do an airline

[@angryheb1]

Mark was born in the 80s, makes us ppl born in 69 feel old when he can't do the math. lol

[@kevinpaul1719]

I have a new D28 by Martin. No bridge hump

[@jeff1586er]

Jobs... If you want to do it you pay them, if you don't they pay you. Oh , wait...anyway... We all would need to work at something. I get it but it could be worse. I was a machinist for 30 years and I look around and I'm too old. I'm glad you are doing well.

[@shawngabrielp984]

Anyone one have any pointers for barring chords easier? I suck at it.

[@isaachull1646]

Shawn Gabriel P make sure you use the edge of your finger and get your wrist under it, if you have a certain part of your finger that hard to use try to position it behind the chord

[@shawngabrielp984]

isaac hull Thanks man I'll try it out

[@espcarolkinder]

Shawn Gabriel P Me too! I’m 56 & trying to teach myself to play. I know a bunch of chords, but those barre chords are my enemy! I seem to have a mental block w finger picking too 😳 I’m not giving up though!!

[@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible]

Make sure your thumb is on the back of the neck and your wrist is really far around. Do it sitting not standing. And make sure you have a good instrument where the strings are not too high, you want a nice low action. Practise going between C and F barred, then slide up to G, down to F and back to C.

[@shawngabrielp984]

AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible thanks man, I'm good with a lot of these chords but the bars always get me lol, I can't switch to it but I'll do those exercises

[@MykeD913]

Mark needs a "pick me up"...uggghhh hey guys it's Mark...grumble...uhhhhh..just kidding, love the vids!!😁poor guy...jeez, beautiful guitar, I can't afford it, or any of the guitars you guys show, but it's nice to dream. Hey Mark, at least u get to play these killer guitars!!!

[@jackhookings8907]

[@aum3.146]

Big props to Mark but why does he never play pianoissimo?

[@rockingtr1]

It's not my job, man ? I thought you sold guitars! BTW-Doesn't Jen do editing? What's her job? Camera holder? Duct tape & a guitar stand. Keep up the hard work kids! Seriously! LOL.

[@Valvey789]

How did that guitar spend the last 50 years to be in that kind of shape?

[@gavinpgraham]

Fuck that guy who sent that shitty email. I love these videos.

[@tangoalfa1970]

Love FTF on GOTD.

[@leroyosborne4492]
