[@jerbear97]

a Spender in a guitar store. how fitting.

[@fuchsia5899]

Jeremiah Fernandez hahaha

[@pranjaljkr]

*music store

[@damien6685]

That was so strange ~ so many of the people I subscribe to and watch all in one clip - good shoot!

[@tejasram5412]

I know right

[@shilohstore6086]

There is such a peacefulness about Mary's videos.

[@omgvague]

That feminine singer/songwriter touch, no doubt.

[@donharrold1375]

There’s a lot of smugness too

[@danielsgrunge]

It's the background music

[@michaelanthony9068]

You’re right. She seems such a gentle soul. I’m sure it’s a treat to visit her in person.

[@peaches7487]

Who else was elated to see Paul Davids??

[@orryfishburne5326]

I love him!! He has such a calm but exciting vibe. I love his passion. I just loved seeing all my favorite youtubers all together

[@FTStratLP]

OMG, nearly got an orgasm! Sarcasm off.

[@neelparekh3448]

Meeeeeeeee

[@David-ry9ly]

His dog?

[@dukeofearl4117]

Yes I recognized him immediately. I watch his KZbin videos.

[@Pannemat]

Glenn Fricker being "attacked" by bass players is the best thing ever, lol!

[@harshvardhanbhatt7555]

Lol man I wish I was there too

[@graphicism]

My house is starting to look like this

[@parallax_review]

You gotta hand it to Thomann for understanding how to do PR in 2019.

[@garyreidmusic]

...and to Mary for knowing to film the whole thing for "content!" Great stuff.

[@yulyklinov611]

Around 1:50 I got so incredibly excited because I seriously thought she was going to play ‘space dementia’ by muse

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

YAAAS me too

[@joost9430]

same

[@palmermoynihan2628]

Yeah same. I was omg its Space Dementia my favorite song by Muse and shes about to play it for us.

[@d-sidespazuzu8971]

Lool same

[@JackMuskrat]

As a bedroom/hobbyist musician, I am so envious of you for getting to hang, create, etc with other like-minded people.

[@countblue]

I just got a "Cabronita" Tele with "FLT Roswell" pickups from HB for 90.- used, but like new. Greatest bargain in my life. They make incredible good guitars for the value.

[@HylianCheshire]

I got one back in May. Love it!

[@ericchan5396]

The editing is amazing Everything looks so cool Great job & awesome!!

[@mitchelm9828]

I went to a Nita Strauss VIP session and asked about working with people at Thomann, more specifically you. She said you were a blast to work with and really knew your stuff. The quality of these videos proves it

[@Steven_SK]

Thanks for the tour. I have to bucket list this visit!

[@KneeDownFPV]

I rarely comment on videos, but every Chewsday I can't help but want to tell you how much I like the charm and pure joy you bring to your videos. Can't help but smile.

[@crazyfingersbruce]

By far one of the most earthy presentations i've seen on youtube. Amazing job MarySpender :)

[@j.b.phillips6400]

Thanks Mary!! Another awesome, positive and inviting vid. Nice to see Paul Davids and Know Your Gear Phil all the way from Arizona, USA. I've been eyeing a Harley Benton TE-90QM HH, the Roswell humbuckers sound great.

[@eddybhere]

You've got some Piano chops there Mary! Very nice!

[@stevehadfield1164]

Made it to the end! Just found your channel. Love it. Subscribed. Don't drop the custom strat needs to be recorded and released. ❤

[@olafnelsonduerksen9676]

WHAT? Chris Buck, Paul Davids and Nathan Navarro together in a Video with Mary Spender. Specially Chris and Paul made me love more my recently acquired Stratocaster.

[@strawjumper8227]

This is awesome. Loads of youtubers that I watch chilling out with each other with amazing musical talent just inspires me.

[@documentalist-NL]

I made it to the end, Mary! Love how you are taking the step to expand your creativity to Podcasts as well. So far your content on the other media is super, so I am excited to find out what you will bring to the podcasts, so that I may also enjoy your creativity in the daily car ride to work. Keep it coming Mary, you're doing great!

[@kevinb.3244]

Hanging out with like-minded people and friends in this huge music store sounds like a damn lot of fun :D Also, dropping a CS Strat sure isn't so bad if it's already reliced haha

[@brittarothe4228]

Okay,this is a big Musicinstruments Store,but we also like little Guitar Shops in Berlin/Germany with many old Vintage Guitars. Small Shops with Charakter and good Peoples are very trendy

[@zoe-janesutherland4359]

I made it to the end Mary! I really enjoyed listening to your podcast and some topics really struck a chord with me (no pun intended). I'm not a musician, but I'm really bad at not putting the stuff I am working on "out" there as I feel I huge sense of vulnerability while doing so, and I'm bad for just finding way to delay putting my stuff out! However, kudos to you for working through this and sharing about your experiences. I'm going to finally put stuff out there! Looking forward to the next podcast!

[@jasong546]

Cool, thanks Mary, fun trip through the place. It seems like it’s a never ending maze of amazing rooms, how many floors are there? Great job!

[@javiervalles9782]

This is like they made a Super Smash Bros. with all of Music KZbin.

[@Jim47ww]

First time visitor to your channel and I’m now subscribed. Great video, it’s so great to see such a place and just wonder at it all! Lovely experience for you and all the other you-tubers. How have I missed you until now?! Glad to be around your channel Mary Spender :)

[@laurifinlandia]

the joy you felt there is tangible and contageous, thank you for this feel good trip.

[@johnnyhighwater9781]

Great video!!

[@parkerfilms1]

Nice! Glad you had fun.

[@garrygaggles1160]

You are in great company these days ... so many peeps I follow 👍

[@Rowen170]

All the greats that I sub to. Pete Thorn and all. But the highlight of it all was to see Chris Buck. Very very inspirational guitar player.

[@williamb4652]

Rowen170 Yeah bit of a special player

[@EndrzGame]

4:28 ....and then a wild Neely appeared, roaming around it's natural habitat clutching dat bass.....

[@ItsRyan265]

A rare SammyG appeared

[@samkuzel]

I laughed out loud at his lil face

[@SkillTimO]

Can we please get some KZbin couples already.

[@jondellar]

Just subbed - I've been watching some of your vids lately and they're brilliant!

[@zachisebi]

Harley Benton was around when you were young! I bought my first Harley Benton Bass in 2005.

[@toddcompton7590]

I made it to the end Mary! I loved your podcast. Your approach to pushing yourself to try new things has inspired me to do something new. I want to produce a record in the next year. I have been a live sound engineer for many years but never produced a recording session. I know I have much to learn but I will do it, even if it only sells 10 copies. It is something I have always wanted to do. Keep up the good work.

[@gaytvcomdey]

Der Moment wenn der Thomann nur 30km entfernt ist 😂

[@flowbius]

Ach ja, sags doch noch ! ; )

[@awdadwadwad1723]

Ich dachte sie wird über Session reden, was wiederum von mir 30km entfernt ist.

[@chrisdnz7886]

Ich dachte sie wird über Musicstore reden, was wiederum von mir 30km entfernt ist.

[@biankanagy2235]

Same bro

[@miguelpanta]

wo ist das geschäft?

[@GroovingPict]

0:56 heavy is good, heavy is reliable: if it doesnt work, you can always hit them with it

[@r0L4Nd0d4V1D2]

Mary is funny and natural! Great video, what a nice store! Greetings from Paraguay, South America.

[@CurtisMcLeodMusic]

All my favorite KZbin peeps hanging out together. So you guys do all get together in a smoke filled back room and decide how you’re going to control the direction of the industry. I knew it.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

So, this is Thomann, it is a long way from Western Australia, but I see they deliver here as well - perhaps they need a southern hemisphere presence too. Very interesting to this old Aussie muso, thanks Mary!

[@tangology5776]

I made it to the end, Mary! I'm quite nervous about recording myself at a studio but I really want to do it, so it helped to hear you talk about the struggles of starting something new

[@JustinP.]

Mary’s vocals give me the goose bumps. She’s such a great musician/artist. I would love to see some east coast US show dates. 🙂

[@ritcm16]

Great video! I enjoyed it a lot

[@rolandlemus203]

lovely video!

[@GregTalksGuitars]

Great video. The KZbin guitar community is so awesome.

[@puresound98]

I especially enjoyed the creeper @ 4:28 LOL!!!

[@saepiumv3813]

Loved this video!! And I think a podcast is a fantastic idea!! Looks like you had an amazing time :)

[@cinzafenix08]

Cool 😎 cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@thewhiterabbit8581]

the 5 first seconds perfectly describe how i feel everytime i am holding an expensive guitar

[@lonnymead8976]

So jealous… what place for music geeks… I recognized many KZbinrs… how fun

[@rockitMiC]

It's nice but you should correct: it's not "The Largest Guitar Store in Europe" but The Largest Music Store in Europe!

[@Travis646]

It's neither of them both, the largest music store is in cologne

[@Tintop]

@@Travis646 Thomann is the largest (online) seller of musical instruments in Europe. Music Store Cologne is the largest store in Europe (although I hate their store...)

[@discinfiltrator]

@@Tintop Largest retail space does not equal largest store

[@Tintop]

@@discinfiltrator it does. Everything that's not retail space is warehouse or offices. And a warehouse is not a store, it's just a warehouse.

[@discinfiltrator]

@@Tintop It doesn't, because MusicStore is the largest in terms of retail space, but is far behind in terms of stock, sales, and many other measurement units

[@johnhmaloney]

Great video, I would love to visit Thomann's someday. I also just listened to the first episode of your podcast and I really enjoyed it. I made it to the end, Mary.

[@jacko717]

two very experienced luthiers i know have also been blown away by Harley Benton guitars.

[@SetharofEdgarDead-Rose]

Looks like your having fun as always!

[@rickysguitar]

I'm there next year. I got quite excited watching that! Just about to hit 10k subs. LOVE my KZbin journey.

[@HighOnPickleJuice]

I made it to the end, Mary. Not only of this video, but the podcast as well. It was really entertaining to listen to while tinkering around. Quite a few things I found I can relate to. Hopefully this will be my gateway to more of these great podcasts. P.S. Your voice was oddly satisfying to listen to, even ASMR-like. Speaks volumes of audio quality, at least to me.

[@Oilid]

Nice Muse song on the piano. Talent has no boundaries.

[@jaysjams1517]

All my favorite guitar You Tubers in 1 video. I subscribed after seeing this.

[@HylianCheshire]

Mary... Love the violin playing! Love you!!!

[@bobs.stevenson9704]

can we get a full performance of 'dont drop the custom strat'

[@majorwheelock974]

Love Gearhead University, it's like a giant toy store for musicians and they let you play with the toys, thank you for the tour.

[@HughDeFrance]

Just subscribed to the podcast! Can't wait for more eps!! :-)

[@sixstringtravels6249]

Fantastic content! I can't wait to visit one day!

[@guitardavepdx]

Every time I see Samurai in another person's content I have smile

[@cynicaldrummer286]

I have a Harley Benton as my first bass and I love it

[@N2DFlood]

ITS SO AWESOME TO PEOPLE WHO PLAY INSTRUMENTS TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE PLAYING INMSTRUENTS THANKS THOMANN

[@thesazco.salormandji5200]

Love this... one of the place I can't wait to visit.

[@petercarlson811]

The amount of money they have tied up in all instruments and gear has to be staggering.

[@obumbrata2k7]

Seeing all of my heroes together was awesome, amazing video!

[@DanSZiegler]

I made it to the end, Mary! 😀 Great job!

[@AnnLippert1]

I just bought a Harley Benton BANJO from Thomann!! (beautiful), Shipped all the way from Germany to Las Vegas!!! And now I know how to properly pronounce Thomann!!

[@CantankerousDave]

I once saw a rock band at a local festival that was fronted by a marimba player. It was... odd.

[@theolamp5312]

Hi Mary, I'm also afraid of heights. 2 tricks, always have something to hold onto. And, most importantly, never look down.

[@BreatheRC]

what an awesome place :) many thanks

[@cheesymusicofficial]

a trip to thomann is always a nice experience.

[@robabnawaz]

I always buy online from them, but never saw the store..............fantastic, thanks 4 sharing

[@awdadwadwad1723]

same. :)

[@santrixhimself3679]

anybody remember when Musik Produktiv used to be the biggest music store in europe? then a big part of it burned down and then they missed doing online content. thats when thomann took over.

[@nickjitsu]

Ha! Adam Neely. Subtle as a Victor Wooten lick!

[@victorloya1590]

Wow , talent everywere... all the youtubers I like.

[@sonne5540]

I am very lucky, I only live 30 minutes away from this store😅

[@fekristeinmusic5027]

I can't tell how much that was cool

[@stephenmarksberry538]

Nice doesn't begin to describe this scene, I'am loving their sense Of cooperation and community! What a playpen, the muses are in the air! Similar to San Francisco, in the sixties, I Think. Rock on Mary

[@jeffwarner4225]

Loved it!

[@adalyman773]

Next time you're in the US, you should totally make a trip to Sweetwater if you've never been there!

[@Prettynoise]

Mary, that store is a musicians dream

[@RedDongleGames]

I always get my stuff from Thomann. Great company

[@PeteWizzle]

Mary, I love you, in a perfectly healthy way.

[@drewhendrix502]

Ffs, weak idiot.

[@selpingos]

Been there twice. Bought a flugelhorn mouthpiece the first time and a flugelhorn the second time. Thomann is a musicians Disneyland

[@natalievelasquez2664]

This is awesome Mary... Cheers. You are an amazing musician. Paul Davids is one of my guitar heros.🎸🤘

[@dominikbigge8892]

Thak you so much Mary ! I love your own style and like you do it.👍 There is so much happyness that's incredible lovley 😍 It makes me speachless sometimes. You inspire me so much anywere and anytime, to reach the next level on my guitar. I wish I could meet you one day. Stay as you are, I have an eye on you 😉

[@barrypfoley]

Dee-lited you got to go to Thomann. Its a 90min drive for me, but with the cost of gas, I have most everything shipped to me (which is free). If I have any gigs or business in the Bamberg area, I drop by at least once a year.

[@mr.jogger8346]

It's kind of weird, recognizing most of the people in this video....it's my collection of subscriptions all together hanging out and having fun. Amazing....

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

If your subs feed turned into a music store

[@stevenhickenjr]

Largest guitar shop in Europe but still no pedal steels :( . Great video.

[@yamahamusicians]

Great video as always. A lot of very talented people there. Of course great PR for Thomann...there is a hard headed marketing reason behind all this but, hey if they can sell gear and do something good at the same time that works for me :)

[@peakcartoon]

So... no polyrhythmic juggling bts footage, darn

[@pablo9364]

Great store to visit for sure

[@alvarez321]

Mary is so stinking beautiful!!!
