So, Mary, you just proved that it is about 80% player and 20% instrument. While not quite the same reception as The Beatles enjoyed when they landed in New York, you are going to be recognized in the States. You are the bomb! Great to see you signing with Rick and Rhett. Enjoy your holiday.

[@tonybrown7408]

Dude she got recognised with a mask on ..... I'd call that a win

[@smagboy1]

I think it's closer to 99% / 1%. A guitar, no matter how beautiful and/or expensive, sitting on a stand isn't going to make a sound.

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Kind of sweet that you are surprised to be recognized in a guitar shop. 😇

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

@barnett25 ....and her voice of course. 🇬🇧

[@ZinoAmare]

What happens when I walk into a guitar store that's the title so she had probably the idea of getting recoognized :P

@@BrianthatiscalledBrian Clerk: "Have I seen you before...?" Mary: "Uh, yuutyuub...?" Royalty has arrived!

[@thestevebox]

That transition from canned audio to live was SICK!!!!!!!

[@cmflyer]

I thought "wait, did that just happen?" Fantastic!

[@huffman27]

We’ll played! That B-roll to live was done incredibly well, I rewound and listened to the transition 3 different times. Can’t imagine how long it took you to plan that out, absolutely brilliant! You are an amazing guitarist

[@TarnTarn-zv6cp]

@@cmflyer Really?

[@martinmaccauley]

Mary wears a mask into a shop and is instantly recognised. True legend she be.

[@timmooney7528]

I have been mistaken for someone else on several occasion, and for some reason I was actually hoping this was a case of mistaken identity as well. Mary would realize he is mistaken, then keep trolling him until he remembers who she really is.

[@williamfriggle]

There aren't many women as beautiful as she is. She stands out.

[@Marco-HidalgoMusicRecords]

lmao I was gonna write that exactly!!! hahahaq

[@jdmoncada8205]

Mary is the anti-Tony Hawk.

[@gtrslinger]

Dude it’s a staged video. She’s completely unknown in any place that matters . Fact

[@michaeljordan6008]

So delightful. My 9 year old refers to Mary as the Princess of the Guitar as we view her videos in our den. High praise, indeed.

[@brentsmithline3423]

Loved to hear you play, and the different voices of each one of these guitars. This is why musicians I have known over the years have so many different guitars.

[@jarojasn]

Welcome back and enjoy your stay. Can’t wait to see all your videos from your trip

[@markbell1]

I could sit and listen to you play for hours. Happy NGD!

[@kellykent131]

I hope you enjoy your time in NYC Mary. I know you’re an excellent musician. I really enjoyed hearing you play this n GC.

[@sjlBoise54]

Welcome to the Big Apple. You make every guitar sound like a million dollars. Glad you got a chance to "chill" after the shopping! The best. Also thanks for the stuff you did with Beato and Shull. Great all around.

[@nathancl2k]

Wonderful playing as always! I was in that GC on Saturday afternoon. Didn't dare go into the acoustic area. It was packed to the gills.

[@Pastor.Dragon]

Enjoy your time in NYC! Loved hearing you put each one through its paces.

[@sveinjohansen6271]

GRATS on half a million subscribers. I remember first episode of Tuesday Talks when you had around 10k subscribers around 4 years ago, I think it was, what a growth in those years.. you gotta aim for 1m subs !

[@johngraydon506]

Always a pleasure Mary..love your videos.

[@vivianhall5259]

Oh to travel again! I hope you’re having a wonderful time 💕 It was ridiculously satisfying watching you buy a guitar in the Big Apple 💕

[@davidsevenbros3065]

Can tell right off you feel right at home with the D'angelica. Sounds gorgeous in your hands. Love the Mayer-sounding licks.

[@strumlead8741]

Mary, thank you for another great video and in NYC, cool! I do not shop at Guitar Center because of their business practices of buying out and taking over the independent shops and the small shops. But, thanks so much for recognizing the independent shops in the beginning, spot on!

[@stuarthoopfer963]

I think this is a great video. Always love you playing and was studying your strum patterns. Good luck everyone in NY! Have a great time in NY. Subscribed!

[@jmartinez2367]

Great to see you enjoying NYC. Got my signed copy of your CD about a week ago. Really enjoying it!

[@jerseyweb]

Mary, great sound from that guitar. I hope you're enjoying playing it. Welcome to NYC!

[@michaelskywalker3089]

Cool video. As an intermediate guitarist its was great to see some advanced strumming combined with interesting chord fingerings combined with some barre chords and variations. I can barely do some of the patterns, but it is good to look forward to what I need to learn next.

[@jazzrengue]

Awesome you are here in NYC!!! Enjoy! Stay warm.

[@johndolan9797]

Love this! I stopped in a GC last Wed...been a couple years since I visited one. Was actually looking for banjo, but none, so played a few nice classical guitars and started off playing "Long Island City" (my fav) and some Tom Petty songs. Glad you're in the U.S. again!

[@BobEstremera]

Mary, love watching your journeys and listening to you play. Your dedication to fingerstyle is evident in your ever-increasing mastery of the style. I love that ending electric guitar tone at the end of this video. Can you share the guitar, pedals and amp combination you used? It's so sumptuously rich and warm.

[@josephhughes9490]

Mary, Love, love ❤ ya. You are in my city. So glad you are in the states. So great to almost see 👀 u. Hope to bump into you out there 🙃🎸

[@garycrouse1918]

Fantastic gesture Mary .

[@oceanblue1886]

I do love you exploring a guitar shop - top notching viewing!!! 😊

[@seanbaines]

NICE singing on Rick Beato's 2 chord video. That rendering of Dreams was terrific.

[@rev.leonidasw.smiley6300]

Mary, you are so fun to follow!

[@j.r.fitzgerald2133]

Cool video, I enjoy watching you and your picking style is amazing!

[@fred993a]

Mary - there is a lot of love for you in the US!

[@mltorrefranca]

That is so great you got recognized and how that happened!

[@dougbeale4847]

Wow thats a guitar shop! Some nice playing Mary 🙂

[@SoCalGuitarist]

I have that exact same guitar! It’s my acoustic daily driver. It’s a big boy and I feel like I’m hugging a suitcase sometimes, but it sounds great and is easy to play. Good choice Mary!

[@BLUEMOUNTDIGITAL]

Love you so much for all the things you do 💖

[@TheAmpson11]

I've not seen ALL of your vids, but have seen quite a few and I'm not sure how much I've seen you play acoustic. Really enjoyed hearing your playing style on an acoustic, it really works well on an acoustic.

[@rhythmandslide]

Welcome to the USA! I am glad you are getting the opportunity to take a trip. Hope to see you in Seattle someday!

[@jeromestavrosyeo]

Way to go Mary! Love from Singapore!👍👍

[@BaBaBaBenny]

D’Angelico make great guitars, I had one of their travel guitars over lockdown and it was super fun to pick up and jam away on. Funnily enough I also gave it away!

[@gregsimpson621]

Fabulous video!!!

[@charlesabbott9605]

You are an awesome lady. I thoroughly enjoy your content and your uniqueness.

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

I love Mary Spenders videos, so why am I not a subscriber yet your videos keep coming up on my feed.....time to rectify that ! Yay! I'm now a subscriber 😆😆😆

[@dukeofearl4117]

Welcome to the Big Apply. You’re my favorite British musician. You go Mary.

[@stevesstrings5243]

I suspect if you walk into a music store in Austin, Texas or Nashville, Tennessee, you will get recognized there too! We love what you do, Mary!

[@jonathandoyle8231]

500k subs translates to millions, even 10s of millions, of views. To be recognised shouldn't surprise Mary.

[@kingman985]

Mary is becoming a star! Love the black guitar credit card. Very Cool!

[@jimlippi4001]

You are a gifted individual. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@archieguitarz4700]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy your stay!

[@wesleyalan9179]

Cool, I visited a music store over the weekend and bought a Ukulele...it's awesome! And since I have a long background in guitar, it was very easy to pick up on! I'm very much into it...I never thought I'd buy a Uke, lol! Thanks for the upload, Mary!💜

[@johnclark1000]

This is just the beginning marry your star is shooting up the fill the sky! You and Rick Beato are my favorite KZbin personalities.

[@pjackson8027]

Ritchie Blackmore did the same thing about 35 years ago. He used to buy dozens of guitars when he was in a guitar store.

[@jcnlaw]

Great video! If you can get to the Martin Guitar factory in Nazareth PA, you will LOVE the museum (and factory tour when they resume giving tours).

[@richardsisk1770]

I love listening to you play. Welcome to New York, my home town. Be well Mary.

[@hutchfromba]

Music row is great ! The store personnel are very, knowable & special people. Blues On....💙 Enjoy the city sites & sounds. And of course the SNOW !

[@juggleyourballsoff]

You and your music are beautiful. Thank you

[@monkey_breath]

dang, great choice, i love the finish on that one! also sounded nice and punchy

[@flatwater5]

How profoundly gifted you are. And staggeringly beautiful. Listening to you speak is every bit as satisfying as listening to you play. Utterly enchanting. Love ya!

[@nathansknobs]

Hi, Mary. Thanks for the video and the beautiful playing. That Guitar Center is actually the music shop I go to most often. I’m a British expat who teaches in a high-needs school in Brooklyn. If you haven’t decided what you’ll do with the guitar, I’d love to throw my hat in. I give free guitar lessons to students and could do with another one! I hope you have a wonderful trip :)

[@mdcare2001]

I love to see Mary Spender spend. But seriously, a very pleasant vignette and marvelous playing from a young lady with charm galore.

[@JiminTennessee]

What a fun idea...good vibes right there!!

[@leonardosalvador2904]

The 14th street GC been there for almost 20 years! Bought many great instruments there 😀 Sad to hear that the Broadway got closed though, the staff there was really great and good that they re-allocated some of them

[@123elvislives]

Thumbs up from Geelong Australia 👍🇦🇺👍👑 Love your videos 💘

[@jerseyshorescannernews]

I love this channel!

[@ob1quixote]

That's some fancy picking, Mary. Love it.

[@gmee123]

I bet some of the other customers in there were LOVING the mini-concert they were getting :) I live close to SweetWater Sound, in Indiana and I love it when someone is really testing out and playing guitars. It's so fantastic to meet other musicians, especially ones who are outstanding players. I've made some amazing Aquaintences just by sitting and admiring :)

[@CL-fw]

I went to a open clinic and meet and greet with Steve Morse At SweetWater

[@PaulieHo]

Lived in NYC for a few years, moved back upstate a couple years ago at the beginning of the pandemic to work in medical devices. funny seeing you at some of my old stomping grounds. 14th street GC has been there awhile, they shut down times square in the beginning of 2020. Hope you enjoy your stay...there are some incredible stores upstate if you ever venture further north!

[@steveleibo6517]

You did my home town proud!

[@ryanleeoakes2015]

I’ve had a jumbo acoustic LAG guitar for 12 years now and I have to say that I rarely find any other that sounds better to me. Seeing you play one was cool

[@rmshredz]

I love that GC in NY, I always go there when I’m visiting and I recently bought one of my guitars there too. I understand how the guy at the entrance felt bc I also probably would have fangirled had I walked in there and seen you just chilling and playing guitar hahah. I hope you’re having a nice trip!

[@AlonzoWhite]

That was soooo coool, Mary!! I wish you were appearing in the DC area. I know I would LOVE to see you perform in person. Have Fun!!!

[@AlonzoWhite]

@@creamwobbly OUCH!!! ;-)

I do very much admire your spirit and independence, have a fab time!

Mary Spender in NYC! I like the sound of that! Even though I will probably never meet you, it's nice to know you are in NYC! Have fun, and don't forget to pick up that guitar when you are done!

Welcome (back) to NY, Mary... We're practically neighbors now - I'm north of Manhattan, about 100 miles up the Hudson River... Have fun with the new guitar !

[@calebbeecroft1373]

Addicted to the John Mayer stop this train strumming pattern, your playing sounds a lot like it, loving it

Just found your channel today binging thru a Sad Gordon day....and I it paralleled over to. You can keep the dime... Tremendous

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

I have a D'Angelico Excel Tammany I bought used from a Guitar Center in Nashville and absolutely love it. Great choice!!

[@MrBrungers]

Ohhhh what a glorious feeling to get recognized, you want to be a star sooooo hard, at all costs

[@justanothernoobe]

seeing people enjoy their success with genuine humility, amazement and thrill is addictive :)

[@kingman985]

Thanks Mary Spender for inspiring me to create my own channel! Good luck & best wishes!

[@rovenordiales]

The first time you played that D'angelico, I was.. This is it. 👌🏻 Pretty good for the price. The headstock design also for D'angelico is unique. Haven't seen their guitars much here in Ireland though 😔

[@andycollins3327]

Wish I lived in New York! It would be really cool to see you believe me you are recognized more places than just New York in the United States it's cool that you're leaving the guitar there I hope someone really appreciates it as much as we appreciate you!

[@oceanbeliever681]

Guitar junky you are…..and I dig that about you. Thx for being you and letting us travel along with you.

Hey, Mary-Nice bit of singing on Rick’s channel; it took me totally by surprise. One second you’re walking into a NY guitar store and the next you’re near Atlanta with all our favorite music theory teacher! 👍
