Why you should get a Taylor GS Mini

Title is more like "Why you should practice guitar"

lol

Lol!!!

[@fernandonaiberg]

Absolutely

[@GledsonGroove]

Indeed!

[@emanuelito84]

hahahha yep

[@afriendlygoblin]

I looked at my GS Mini after seeing this video. She looked at me. I apologized. I went to practice.

[@toluwole]

Nam Naam 😂

[@zuraiashvili8647]

that was random funny comment :DDDDD

[@luisfranciscoorozcoarias7922]

She looked at me and said fuck off haha 😂

That's the spirit! Gotta keep the Ling Ling tradition going

[@afriendlygoblin]

@@hathaway.1166 ah i see you're a man of culture as well

[@superdriver777]

That was easily some of the absolute best guitar playing I have ever heard. Sure, I have heard people play that well, but they were professionals and I was listening to their recordings....never have I heard someone play song after song, jamming, and sounding so good that I could swear I was just listening to an album. Man, I need to go to bed, but now I feel like I need to practice!

[@garyives1218]

Yeah! I was watching a review for another guitar and then this vid automatically popped up. I was looking at a different window at the time and was like OMG!!! what is the beautiful sound? Phenomenal

[@chrismatassa6298]

4:20 - 6:01 is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard played on a guitar

[@joshuawright7052]

Does anyone know what this is or is it an improv? I agree it is sensational.

[@Skovorodnikof]

Yep, I'm curious too

[@benjaminz2523]

Im not sure but it sounds vaguely like Andy McKee. If you've never heard him, i hiiiighly recommend👌

[@rodalm_]

It kinda sounds like a part from Mom by Buckethead

[@TrishCanyon8]

Just bought one and what a pleasure to play. Sounds great too.

[@magicelliotth]

I bought a Taylor gs mini......but i can't do this with it.

[@ilustrado7291]

Don't ever give up.

[@MrEkin03]

Maybe you should buy two or even three

[@earthlingforever1269]

Practice 24/7.

[@hanesflores1206]

Give it to me. Just kidding 😂✌️

[@seanc3810]

I cant do this with mine either, I was thinking of sending it back in case its faulty, it only seems to play open chords :)

[@ChiefMoonChunks]

Absolutely stellar playing, you seriously crushed every style featured in this video.

[@spirostsampikakis7395]

dude what the hell...i clicked to check a guitar sound and i just witness greatness...you are a virtuoso sir...breathtaking sense of musicality

[@coldisle]

Just blown away by your playing. Exquisite. Thank you.

[@DutchMovies]

Are your skills included with the guitar😂

[@cms21186]

I absolutely LOVE my Taylor GS mini!! I have the Koa wood w/electronics & I am blown away every single time I play it. It definitely outshines my full size fender acoustic electric. Thanks for posting this! 🎸

[@theisms5710]

I just purchased one the other day. I'm very happy with it! And you have some mad guitar skills! You've inspired me to practice more.

[@jeanbussac]

New video added on what I played here. In french, but there are some notes, and you should be able to hear what you need. :-)

[@jeanbussac]

There's a link a the beginning of this one, or on my channel

Very musical player first, with well technic makes a awesome player! Nice review

I can't seem to find it either?

[@maxx7733]

I love this guitar I went in to the guitar shop with some money I earned from one week of 12 hour shifts and was looking for my first travel guitar since I travel much. And I went through Martin guitars fenders yamahas Ibanez but this guitar had such an amazing tone for its size and playing this felt so responsive and nice. I recommend this guitar strongly

[@bunny-detox]

I was wondering about this guitar but now I'm totally convinced!!! Damn great playing man! Thanks a lot for sharing

[@Im_alex_h]

This made me finally pull the trigger on a gs mini mahogany. Oh boy am I glad that I did. The thing sounds great and the playability is amazing!

[@jeanpat8946]

The best acoustic demo i ever heard on the web !! Man i think you can make any peace of wood singing

[@thein-tele-gent5654]

The best 6 minutes of my week! Absolutely beautiful and inspiring playing, sir! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@CurlyJefferson482]

You absolutely ate that guitar. Great playing!

[@BlueL1n3]

Bought a GS Mini a couple years back and love it. Great little guitar for the price.

[@lfaggell]

I could listen to this for hours and hours... Wow! I think I'll go practice now!

[@angiolettifabio]

Beautiful sounding guitar! Buy the way you play is phenomenal

[@ric9452]

Wow . I'm totally blown away at such a blissful performance, Wow !!!!!!

[@LauraShark007]

this is seriously why I bought this guitar. You make it sing beautifully, thanks for sharing

[@ronaldpena8990]

I have had my Taylor GS mini Mahogany for 5 years now and absolutely LOVE it !!! I also have a Taylor 320 c e in Koa !

[@NeilManongsong]

Damn awesome playing dude! In my search for details about the GS mini I stumbled upon your video. Will surely learn those melody, you've just inspired me to learn something new.

[@guadalupebatana]

This has got to be my favorite guitar demo video! Amazing job 👌🏼

[@zaxlash]

truly extraordinary playing and recording quality- well done sir and thank you!!

[@RussellWalshAIMDirect]

Great work, great sound and variety of style and notes. Cheers! ...and thank you for your contribution.

[@inkjob12]

I have the mahogany model also...what I really like is that the neck is great for someone like me...small hands. This has one of the best necks I have ever tried to play. Like you said...great sound.

[@danphipps615]

Your giving that little baby a proper going over there Jean! Sounds great Man. Yep, after watching this I'm definitely buying one of these Tiny mahogany beast's. Nice playing - Big thanks......

[@LiberTBo]

You have to love the tone of the "Parlor-Guitar," its tone-woods are really brought out in this size instrument, more so than with the large-sized guitars, in my humble opinion... I'm not so sure I prefer the mahogany top wood over the spruces or not...it takes a bit of getting used to, but it does have a very distinctive mid-range sound. For this price range, it is a tremendous value buy in though..I believe I paid around 1K for my Parlor-Guitar that was hand crafted by a western Montana Luthier of native woods he harvested from trees on his property...a walnut tree that was a result of a lightning strike provide some interesting combinations when mixed with maple for the neck... The only wood that was an import was the Honduras mahogany used in the neck...doesn't sound a bit better than the Taylor GS-mini

[@GamersWorld22]

I got the mahogany one and since it bring out the lower/mid tones the size evens it out instead of having the lighter twang like the other light woods and I’m not usually a mahogany type of guy

[@jelleficious]

Absolutely beautiful sound and playing!

[@benbold]

Jean, that is beautiful playing.Absolutely lovely.

[@jimtalltheislandbrothers6639]

Taylor guitars should pay you for the huge favour you did them. Fantastic playing.

[@jeanbussac]

Actually, they still didn't

[@dawid8837]

@@jeanbussac hahaha

[@dharleyfan1]

Awesome playing, I have 4 Taylor's the GS Mini Mahogany being one of them. Really great sounding guitar. I had to pull the bridge saddle and shave it, and do a truss rod adjustment, to get it playing it's best. But it's nothing to difficult to do, and well worth the effort. Love your playing style. Great job on the video and the sound quality also. I really liked it.

[@jhustler1992]

The Taylor GS Mini Mahogany is a great guitar!!! I have one and it is such an awesome sounding guitar. I didn't care for the other styles though but the Mahogany had the best sound (in my opinion).

[@SuperMIKEFREE]

Jean, this is the best guitar review I've ever seen, you cover so many different styles in a very professional manner. I own a Taylor GS8 which I love but I'm picking up the Taylor mini tomorrow, I will fit it with a Fishman pickup and gig with it. I love Taylor guitars but I'm not a fan of their elaborate ES System.

[@JohnWDGTandTele]

Nice playing!! The Taylor sounds great, but you being a great player makes it sound even better!

[@Jorbey]

2:19 the first 3 notes and I already knew it was Borsalino , glad you played this W song

[@radutenenbaum977]

I'm considering this guitar for my small hands and watching this makes me realize the instrument will not be the limiting factor. Wish I could buy your skill too :)

[@dkijc]

I have had the original GS mini (spruce top) for years. That guitar really changed the mini guitar market. ❤❤ thanks for the wonderful video!

[@danielhuang3826]

I can't remember how many times have i watched this video. I'll be so proud if I can play 2/3 level like you. BTW, change your title to "Why you should get to practice" is much proper in this case lol

[@danitar2536]

Thats just insane playing. Keep it up :D

[@ManuMllr]

I’ve got mine since 3 weeks, one day after watching your amizing video, and my ovation stay in her box, I can’t put my GS mini e-walnut down.....what hooooot sound, Thx for all 🤩

[@Xcorgi]

P.S, I own this same guitar in mahogany and it's amazing! SUPERB bang for the buck! You really can't get a better quality and better sounding guitar in this size category. Just amazing!

[@afalzon21]

What a great demo. Found it after I bought my Koa version for the beach this summer.

[@t3601f]

This is an amazing guitar performance! Can’t imagine how much time you put in to get to this level! Great job

[@dtotheatothevtothee]

Inspirational playing! Going to pick up a used one of these later today...quite excited!

[@geoffcampbell1025]

Absolutely beautiful playing. I enjoyed every second of that. Especially the last couple minutes. I am picking up a spruce next week. Can't wait to get it in my hands...👍👍👍

sweet quality audio men! and nice playing as well! u should upload more buddy cause its so enjoyable hearing u, soul playing!

years of exploration but ive never seen skill like this ever before

This vid will be the reason why i will buy this guitar, sequence between 3:05 - 4:20, specifically. Although i will never get there playing it, but hey why not give a try :) Great vid

Ya know what, not only is this a great showcase for the guitar, but those microphones sound fantastic too! Especially for how affordable they are.

Yeah, that's awesome. I'm still impressed of the sound I had from them... That was a good day... !

[@hotwireman49]

Dude, you are my hero! Amazing!!!!! I had a GS Mini just like tthe one you have there. Mine didn't sound anything like that. Maybe because it wasn't you playing it!!?? Amazing job, man! Thanks! Thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@andrewbeattieRAB]

Well, after about 6 months of looking at parlor guitars, I bought a mahogany GS Mini straight acoustic in May. I play almost only country / Texas blues like Lightnin Hopkins (not surprising, I am an old Texan). Verdict on the guitar: I LOVE IT. The harder I play, the better it sounds. It’s crazy. Q: You want a great guitar?? A: GET THIS ONE

[@kali3828]

@@andrewbeattieRAB is the string tension higher than normal since this is a short scale?

[@andrewbeattieRAB]

@@kali3828 EXCELLENT QUESTION. There are some offsetting forces: 1) The shorter scale actually makes the tension less because there is a shorter span to cover is my understanding, 2) that’s why Taylor puts 13’s the mini. The higher gauge strings take more tension but the volume and tone are great for a smaller guitar. 3) The shorter scale makes for a much easier reach. I love it. For quite a bit less cost, you can get either a Gretsch Jim dandy or a recording king dirty 30. Similar size but less tension and less volume for about $170. I have played all three. Either of these two you could take to a bonfire or a beach or camping and worry much less about the cost.

[@Skovorodnikof]

@@andrewbeattieRAB I'm joining pal. I've researched a bit and decided without hesitation. Ordered yesterday now counting hours for it to arrive home :p

[@sarahbaird1442]

Great playing! I'm currently saving up to buy a Taylor GS Mini Koa. Super excited! This a a great-sounding guitar.

[@jeanbussac]

+Sarah Baird Hello, I never tried this one, probably good. But I'd recommend to try it, for the sound of course, and finish, see it in reality, because some Koa tops on taylor that I saw (left handed) were.... really bad. Good luck !

I own two GS Mini’s. One with a spruce top, and my most recent purchase: a GS Mini-e Koa Plus. They are both incredible guitars from Taylor. Between the two, I love the Koa the most. The “soft case” is more than you would expect as well. Very sturdy and durable. The perfect package with the GS Mini.

[@gustavopaulette3496]

I just ordered a Taylor 214CE Koa. Why do you like the Koa the most? Mines should arrive tonight

[@ka3uxu1]

@@gustavopaulette3496 It’s the tone. I have high end Taylor’s (714 and T5Z) I even have an Academy 12 and another Mini (spruce top). They all offer something. I also know that the KOA offers a seasoned wood a lot sooner than most aged woods. You made a good choice in the KOA. Good for you!

[@Adambob78]

Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks for putting it up, its really hard to find guitar demos/reviews that are properly miked and are thus actually useful when shopping. I played a spruce top one of these in store and couldn't believe the tone for the size. Nice to hear what a skilled player can do on one, cheers! (will try more reverb myself, seems to work) (who am I kidding, its always on 11)

Fantastic playing, beautiful sounds

[@edgarbenjoseph3879]

I bought a used one yesterday. The action was too high, so I had to adjust the truss rod to lower it and change the strings. Now it sounds and plays great.

[@allmendoubt4784]

Action is determined by the bridge, do a relief test to set the truss rod.
