[@ssmabecrelis6443]

So in my opinion, I his channel has been probably one of the greatest additions to KZbin. It literally has a place in my every day life and has made my want for instruments magnify by 1,000 times. My wife doesn’t appreciate the channel as much lol.

[@tdkrei]

Thanks to both of you guys, J.P is one of my favorite guitarist ever and John you held your own, don't short yourself. Keep on smiling.

[@nicbordsy]

Holy shit. JP and Acoustic Shoppe?! My favorite channels. Probably 75% of what I watch is you guys.

[@demolitionwilliams7419]

Same

[@panayotiscanellopoulos8696]

ACOUSTIC GUITAR'S HEAVEN!!!!!! For me, a poor guy, I'l never have the chance to have one of them.... but JP helped me to buy an affordable one (Epiphone Excellente) Thanks a lot !!! Acoustic Shoppe and JP Cormier.... my favorite KZbin Acoustic guitar channels!!!! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to hear these masterpieces!!! Beyond the guitars they mentioned, I also loved the Jumbo style Martin....and Thompsons too... Greetings from Greece from a 65 y.o. "youngster"!!!! 🙂

[@USNAVDC]

Neither one of you guys are normal! 🙂 That was some super playing....what a great video!...and you guys are having as much fun playing as we are listening.

[@CollingsGuitars]

Thanks so much for stopping by the Collings room and the kind words! It was a pleasure to chat guitars and hear both of you playing, as always. Already looking forward to Summit 2024!

[@johnchapman4232]

Looking forward to IBMA

[@AcousticShoppe]

Absolutely, you know we had to include y'all! Thanks for letting us play!

[@CollingsGuitars]

We'll see you there! @@johnchapman4232

[@dennisdelaney9142]

Did Collings introduce a new voicing/bracing for tops at the Summit for D and OM models? They talk about that at the end of the video but I'm not seeing anything on the Collings website. Or maybe they're referring to the different voicing that the traditional models have?

[@AcousticShoppe]

@@dennisdelaney9142 Collings is trying some fun new things & showed us some prototypes - very special stuff!

[@greenfinmusic5142]

Watching this for about the 30th time right now, and what's really standing out to me at the moment is how great of a rhythm guitar player John is. We all know he's a great lead player, but he's just as good at rhythm.

[@kittyemzcanada]

Watching you two talented guys playing the Yamaha FG9 just made up my mind 100% on buying it. 👍💙. There is one( on order) coming in here shortly, and I'm "impatiently" waiting for that phone call.

[@neilanderson2374]

How did you get on ? I just ordered a rosewood one that was black Friday'd. I love Yamaha guitars, couldnt decide between the hog or rosewood, but went for the R eventually. Seems to me that the FG9 was the best bang for buck guitar they played

[@kittyemzcanada]

@neilanderson2374 ...sadly, I had to cancel the order...so will not, for the time being anyway, enjoy the pleasure of having one. The FG9 R has a sound that can't be beat. You'll have many happy hours with yours.👍💯

[@twinrock54]

This was a wonderful video, I remember seeing you guys playing when I was at the summit. Now I know who you are. You guys really know your stuff and are 3X talent together. - Pecos Bill

[@CoreyMcCormick]

Two of my favorite channels merging together for an awesome video! You guys looked like you had a blast making this!

[@AcousticShoppe]

We totally did, can't wait to make more vids with JP!

[@wheninroamful]

@@AcousticShoppe I hope you guys do make more vids together, im hear watching a second time.

[@CamMacMastermusic]

The only thing J.P. Is better at than playing the guitar is being an awesome all around human being. His live show on Wednesday nights (String Theory ) has literally changed my life for the better. So glad you guys listened to me and checked out his show. Amazing playing to both of you !

[@robertdievendorf3312]

I could listen to you two play all day, all week, all year. Thanks

[@user-gr4tf5py9l]

I agree love to see more 12 fret 000 and 0000’s in this world. You guys should do a record together. What a blast watching you both!

[@markarcherisinflorid]

Came here to say the same thing! :)

[@kidguzzi_chrisgalardi]

That was wildly entertaining to watch! 😮🤪

[@blakesorie1]

Wow! I was wondering if we were going to get to hear the grey Santa Cruz that's 10 billion years old, or however old it is 😄Thank you guys for showing all of us these incredible instruments. Especially love that 12-fret Collings! Love the channel.

[@JasonGavel]

Awesome video JP is a straight up beast ,John is also an awesome player I’d love to have a Cobain Martin 🇨🇦😁👍 love the content from both channels

[@AcousticShoppe]

Thanks for watching!

[@leafforever9174]

My absolute favourite performance from 2 'Greats'. Loved every minute. WOW !!!🙏

[@jimmextorf7785]

Great video. Hopefully we see more content with JP and John in the future. .

[@AcousticShoppe]

of course!

[@MelodyMaker]

OK. You host JP. I subscribe...and JP as gracious as ever. He's right John. You play awesome!

[@AcousticShoppe]

Thanks so much!

[@Chiller11]

Yes 12 fret 000 with slotted headstock is my favourite style of guitar. Big enough sound but the bass doesn’t overwhelm the trebles. So versatile fingerstyle or flatpicking and they just look elegant.

[@John-wr6yo]

Cf martin needs to make a peace offering with jp and build the jp Cormier model and just give it to him. In this day and age one needs all the alliances they can get.

[@rodhier2516]

Fantastic!!

[@Chris-rr6zf]

Love both of you guys' channels so awesome to see you jamming together!

[@cmakely60]

Great video. Love seeing you guys play together 😊

[@JH-fn8mw]

Great advertising for all the brands they played. So much fun and brotherhood. Thanks from The Netherlands.

[@craigtittsworth9440]

Very GOOD! ... Enjoyed the entire show!

[@tubadylan]

Love seeing you guys together. Thank you!

[@scottfishkind5335]

Y’all sound incredible together!! That’s a lot of great music from two acoustic guitars!!

[@terrybradley8297]

Lawyers and doctors are the only people that can buy this stuff. Oh yea, and famous folk. The next time I have $10,000 to blow, I’ll give it to charity.

[@USNAVDC]

What a fun video! It's great to hear all of those guitars....I"ve been a JP Cormier fan for a long time and the Acoustic Shoppe Boys are always just great! THANKS FOR THIS ONE!

[@jerrysolonsmith8471]

Outstanding guys!

[@jimmycollette9209]

Come on guys. Y'all are having too much fun. I think I'll take one of each. Would have loved to be there. Keep having fun and smiling cause music is what makes the world. You can never have enough guitars.

[@jamesdavid7099]

You guys are a natural freakin team. Goofin and playing kick ass licks, kinda one upin each other, but not in a cocky way at all. Love it.

[@leedowney4513]

Just ran across this..excellent news and views!👍👍👍

[@AcousticShoppe]

Thanks!

[@MelvinHughesatp]

Thank you for going the distance and visiting nearly every major maker that was displaying!!! I loved all of them but have to say that it did my heart good to see you two with a Huss & Dalton CM and their dread! I have owned a 12 Fret, slotted peg head CM for the last ten years and love it dearly as well as a couple of their 00's! Thank you for being brave enough to invite and play with JP! What a wonderful video!!!

[@user-no1vy2fp2b]

Love it, what a treat!

[@AcousticShoppe]

Thanks for watching!

[@kentowens2179]

Awesome video! Great picking! JP is from another planet! Y'all killed it on Gold Rush! Thank you! We are fortunate to have so many great guitar builders, and so many great guitars to choose from. My hat's off to all of them!

[@kikomarty4337]

It's basically what I expected, they were all killer :)

[@rjrguitar]

Killer job. You guys really know how to get a sound out of a guitar, wherein the love is very evident. Listening at home, I thought the Martin D-18 with the inked top had a particular cut and presence that was particularly noteworthy, and just seemed to come across my speakers a bit more than the other guitars. Thank you...all of this is great fun.

[@CBBluesman]

Hello from JP Cormier's home Nova Scotia.Congrats on one of KZbin's best and most entertaining channels....

[@AcousticShoppe]

Thanks so much!

[@JohnRotonto-ql9ds]

Great pickin' guys! You ought to cut an album together and call it "Pickers Supreme". You guys have an amazing chemistry and feel, knowing where the other is going to go. Bravo!! 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏😎😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@michaellaverty1844]

I have not laughed so hard in a long while. Not to mention some great playing on some great guitars. You guys need to take this act on the road.

[@richfiryn]

Imagine being holed up for 6 months in a cabin with JP, breathing guitar night and day.

Oh my goodness! I'm sitting here and totally enthralled by you both playing them guitars!! My favorites: Martin Maple Jumbo, Yamaha's are killers and Huss & Dalton looks! Here in Los Ángeles California...no one plays like you guys!! Love it,!!

[@texhaines9957]

A JJPCC session for sure. Makes me wonder what would be best for me? Thanks JP and John

[@jimwaller5465]

I could listen to these 2 for a month! Excellent John and JP! Two fine pickers!

[@CamMacMastermusic]

Ditto !

[@Dave-rk2nl]

I enjoyed this my friends...Thank you

[@Big.E]

Awesome love JP to 👍👍🎸🎸

[@joewheatley8905]

I really enjoyed this video. Like both of you and many of the viewers, I've owned a bunch of guitars...(I'm a bass player by trade, go figure). Been trying to figure out what is going to be my last forever guitar. This video has helped me narrow down the list. Cheers to both of you!

[@lhvent]

JP is a living legend

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Super wicked video, amazing picking and JP is not only great guitarist but funny as hell. Cheers.

[@AcousticShoppe]

He’s awesome!

[@dalesearcy5734]

You made me happy when JP picked the Yamaha as his top pic. WOW, what a great guitar! Fantastic picking boys!!!

[@billdedrick1914]

Great video, Great sounding Guitars, Great flat pickers

[@JimWalkerMusic]

I wanna see yall pick together a lot more often!!! Just fabulous! The Thompson room is where I would set up camp! I could never afford to purchase one but.... Jus sayin'!

[@darrellskinner5263]

Loved the Thompson jam!

[@michaelmullins1290]

Some of my favorite things about John. Hes a awesome picker and laughs histericaly. JP is a monster guitarist. He always blows my mind. Many great guitars. That first one, id never heard of, but was exceptional in JP's hands. As well as all you guys played.

[@kevjones5047]

Smoked a few cigarettes with JP out the back door of the Harrison Memorial Hall back in the day... a gentleman and joyfull player. One of the best musicians I've met in the 1000 plus concerts I've worked.

[@tedwasielewski9641]

I have had the FG 9 M for about 5 months. It is a fantastic guitar that is actually affordable compared to many of the guitars in this video. Some have commented they would never buy a 4K Yamaha. In my opinion, it is a bargain and the neck is the best I have played. Try one if you have the opportunity! Thanks for this very interesting and entertaining video!

[@cdrutherfordable1]

You guys really put a smile on my face that you couldn’t slap off. I’ve gotta get your blue grass kinda style down. I love it. I also love your reviews. 👍🏼

[@bigmac51290]

I _really_ liked that Huss & Dalton dread. The Thompson OM made me audibly impressed, that G chord just after JP tuned it was huge

[@AcousticShoppe]

Totally!

[@johnlfinegan]

That g chord stood out for me as well

[@bernardplume4401]

Wowsers i loved those impromptu jams

[@steve0852]

Geez-Louise, awesome picking on fantabulous guitars

[@billlawson5571]

Damn good lads!

[@jasondonovan-oo3dx]

2600 minutes- killer picking

[@jessehudson7113]

Y’all boys could even make a Taylor sound great enjoyed the Picking .

[@CamMacMastermusic]

😂

[@demolitionwilliams7419]

What a video!

[@harryrobbins769]

JP and JC! The best!

[@rickydejoyco7776]

Ok... I thought I was good to go with JP's channel and Flat Pick Nation with Patrik Lundgren. Guitar heaven!. But it looks like I'll have to subscribe to one more channel....The Acoustic Shoppe. You guys were incredible. I'd love to see more collaboration between you two...the chemistry is definitely there! I'm currently playing a Yamaha FS5....(influenced by JP).... but if they come out with an FS9 (in rosewood) this is gonna hurt (financially). Thanks for the tour b'ys !!!

[@AcousticShoppe]

Thanks for joining us!

[@FDNY8231]

That was a TON of fun ... Can't believe you didn't mention the Bourgeois Guitars as a favorite. Although the ones you did mention were VERY good .. My first guitar was a Yamaha, and it really sounded good. I love the sound of the FG9. Most fun i've had in 30 minutes or less prior to Dominoes ...

[@lenwest7734]

Wow...did you notice that Martin wasn't mentioned in the closing reviews...at all. I'm a *Collings* Guy these days, and all my vintage Martins and Gibsons stay in their case. I could have chosen anything for my last flat-top.. And am just thrilled with my CJSB! BTW...NOBODY does 'sunburst' like Collings. Play On...

[@garykarlin1777]

JP, I'm impressed that your favourite dreadnought was just a few hundred more than an HD28. Greetings from Halifax

[@newffee]

My ears are in ecstasy and I don't think the drug store got any remedies for it lol. Amazing guitars guys! So many talented builders. Hard to choose from.

[@macktheknife8443]

I really liked John's playing!

[@ZionForman]

played a Flammang guitar many years ago, wish I had purchased it.

[@patrickhanly7458]

The first Santa Cruz was a cut above in the quality of sound, to my ear. It looked a bit weird, but the sound was rich. It differentiated itself from the others.

[@a.d.penedo7263]

You guys made every single guitar sound to die for. If you'd let me, an average player, play them maybe they could tell a difference lol

[@steveinthethumb6441]

Love it. Soooo.... when do you both go on tour? 😆😉

[@AcousticShoppe]

TBD 😅

[@CrisGuitarBR]

Great playing!!!! My two favorite channels in one!!! Btw, do you know if/when Yamaha will release a "FS9"?

[@AcousticShoppe]

Only thing we were told is 2024, looking forward to them!

[@646oleg]

this must be the guitar heaven

[@piotrkarpienia4779]

Ok Huss n Dalton kills too !!!! :D amazing

[@artiebbarber1845]

Grreat video! Funny interactions and fantastic guitars! Can someone tell me what they are playing in the martin room? I'd like to learn that piece. It sounds like it may have a celtic influence.

[@magnuslarsen6140]

Didnt know jp was that tall😮

[@scottfishkind5335]

JP is either a giant or John is much shorter than any of us realized!!😂

[@Michael2x]

I want the Martin JP was playing!

[@appleturnover519]

Regarding the Collings OM mahogany you preferred, was it a short scale or a regular 25.5 inch scale? (I am looking to maybe purchase a mahogany Collings OM or OOO.)

[@cajunqueen5125]

👍👍👍

[@JamesDLamb]

I can just listen to the sound of those dreads for hours. I’ll take one of each…

[@roughcollielover1784]

I have to admit those Yamaha's were impressive

[@shoer5151]

Yamaha sounded the best 🎉great projection

[@guitartec]

Yamaha always adds extra compensation angle at the saddle, thus, angling back the low E more than most other makers. Just look at their saddle angle compared to most of the other hand mades. Yamaha has always done this on all their acoustics. What that does is 2-fold; Besides giving their guitars better intonation out the gate, when a Yamaha guitar ages and the top naturally flexes a bit along with the common neck joint shifting, the saddle usually needs to be lowered just to maintain the action. Well, due to this sever factory compensation, the intonation for the lower strings stays great, whereas other maker's guitars suffer from a low E that's usually ends up quite sharp at the 12th as it ages. Never mind that you can also compensate the saddle by hand as well. Not sure if this sever angle was chosen on purpose in the early days of Yammy steel strings or it was just dumb luck, and they went with it. Either way.... it's awesome and other makers could learn from this.

[@CamMacMastermusic]

“String Theory “ is J.P.’s live Wednesday night show @ 6:00 pm est check it out, join the family. It’s an hour(ish) of guitar talk. Best hour of the week.

[@demolitionwilliams7419]

What tune are y'all playing on the Thompson guitars? I can't remember the name and it's driving me crazy

[@119dozen55sweet]

A bit of a different question, but what picks were each of you using for this?

[@bernie_smith]

Have you guys ever played any Fyldes from the UK?

[@greenfinmusic5142]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who puts ice cream on pizza!

[@MOON1.514]

Can you let me know please if I can get a Yamaha Ll16d in Sunburst

[@CBBluesman]

Hi,In this video John and JP are jamming on a Bluegrass Tune on Thompson Dreadnaughts .JP has the sitka spruce top model What,s the name of that Fantastic Tune?.

[@AcousticShoppe]

I believe it is "Goldrush"

[@ThePnikola007]

in conclusion, all of them was :D

[@Patriot-American]

Enjoyed the walk through on many of the top builders. Unfortunately not too affordable for working class folks in todays economy.

[@JS-hu7pv]

Collings across the lineup - good grief. They all just do it for my ears. That being said, Yamaha are doing something right with the FG series.

[@LifeWideOpen780]

Why does jp like the fg9 Mohagany vs the rosewood

[@carterchiasson4172]

Anyone know what tune that they're playing a 9 mins?

[@MarkHeathershaw]

Gold Rush!

[@jasondonovan-oo3dx]

At 20:30 what is the name of the song?
