It is SO VERY RARE to come across a gear video where the demo dude can actually play. I was pleasantly surprised, as Joel is just ripping. Thanks for sharing this video.

Have a dobro hound dog, other three are just as sweet sounding. This guy has just shown it’s not an expensive guitar that makes you better but your practice and skills. Great review

Gretsch metal all the way. Your playing is Fantastic. Thanks for the demo. 👏👏🎸👏👏

Both of the Gretschs were both head shoulder better than the others. But the Gretsch wood body sounds the sweetest to me.

This a good comparative review. I first bought a Luna;it was very well built, but was designed mostly for amplification. So, I exchanged it for the "acoustic only" Gretsch "Honey-Dipper." That did the trick for me. I build acoustics, electrics, do repair and custom set-ups to thousandths of an inch. My other acoustic is a vintage Westerly Guild D 40. That is my second of that model. My first was a 3 digit serial numbered from Brooklyn, the truly first Guild luthierie shop before Newark. I learned to build while in law school and I sold that extra-vintage D 40 to buy the material for a full-on custom acoustic. Just the rosewood had been dried over 60 years. It was a spectacular OM size guitar, loaded with pearl and abalone, and my favorite fretboard wood, ebony. Sold for tuition for my daughter, but no bitterness ; she graduated cum laude as a certified Special Needs teacher, later got her Master's in same, and is now the Special Needs curriculum director for a whole nearby district, having also served as a principal for a special needs school.

Love your work and style... Great showcase of these guitars along with some fine, FINE playing. Big up

Absolute,y amazing! Great job showcasing these beautiful instruments. Just want to go south and soak it up.

I'm totally undecided, because of the way they were being played I loved all of them!

Great playing. Now I want one.

Wow, you made them all sound great!

So soulful... Love your playing.

Loved the slide playing sir🎸

Some really fine playing there. Thank you.

Great slide work! Thanks 🙏

Gretsch are making some amazing sounding resonators for the price point. I bought. One a couple of years ago and it plays and sounds better than most resonators twice the price. One of my favourite guitars.

Hey captain. Jus wanted to let you know thats some serious sliding techniques your using.. honestly thats probably some of the best blues slide I've heard in a looooooonnngggg time!!

Very nicely played Sir and thank you for staying away from the usual cliched pieces people usually play when they pick up a resonator! For me the Gold Tone stood out a mile---the loudest and fullest sounding. Then I checked out the prices and can see why. Of the others I thought the Alligator had a very decent sound.

I love it! ❤️ I agree sweet sounds and AWESOME guitars. Must share of course...

Such soulful sounding Guitars,they speak.Like acoustic but with a bigger personality and tone

came for the reso playing, was not disappointed :D

Fantastic playing!

Was expecting the run of the mill, punt your guitars vid, but man was I wrong, thanks you've made me fall in love pall over again with Dobro's again. Mine is now coming of the rack. 5*

I would kill for a guitar as beautiful as that last one.

Great demo!

Great demo... really got a sense for the different characteristics of each instrument, as well as how you naturally reacted to each of them and how they sounded, played, etc. Very nice job. THANK YOU! 🤙🏼🎶😎

Love the sound of the Metal Gretsch, good ol National Steel sound-- Peach Guitars - We related ? Family Discount ?

I would have liked... all playing the same tune to compare.Great skills that being said.

Great playing man. Enjoyed it.

Great Playing!

Wicked sounds man,

Love the wooden Gretsch!

Such A great demo great playing man wow. I own the Gretsch G9221 and love the guitar. I am interested in a wooden body next. Thx for a great demo

Never mind the guitars, your playing is superb. Wow that was fun to listen too!

Nice and skilled playing.

EXCELLENT VIDEO

Got a old finder drobro and it sounds so nice like it was new but I had it for a long time now keep up the good fight for the slide guitar love the vids guy

Excellent !

I've listened to this three times just to enjoy the pickin

Thanks for the video! Kudos to the player!

Excellent Video. I bought the Gretsch Bobtail and I love it. Jam On.

Some great playing my man. Think that hound dogs on your tail

Killer playing !!!!!!!

Nice comparison and great playing! I bought a Gretsch Alligator about 18 months ago and I am very happy with it. I think the value for money and build quality outweighed others I tried, such as the Dobro. That could be just luck. It has a warmer tone than the recording would suggest 😃. Thanks for the vid!

damn that stones song always got me hooked

take me to the station! And put me on a train! I got no expectations! To pass through here again! Rolling Stones!

The gold tone was my favorite, then the Gretch bobtail was a close second, great playing btw

I love my Gretsch Historic Series Resonator

I prefer the more twangy tone of the metal body Gretsch. BTW, great playing.

They all sounded great. I have the Hound Dog and the Bobtail.

I´ve just subscribed ´cause of your playing skills. Thanks man

Dude can play!

Approved!

With those skills i would be out in nature all summer... camping and showing off my slide skills to everybody.

DAMNED good demo Guitarist you got there

That Gold Tone Paul Beard sounds the best to my ears. By far the warmest.

Sick tunes!

Great video, love the sound of that gold tone! What tuning do you have that in?

Love the sound if the Gretsch 4. It was much clearer

Great playin')

That G9221 sounds like Mississippi. Made me order one lol

Terrific playing and comparison!Just wondering: are any of these models available in lefty versions? Thanks!

great playing!

Wish I could play like this dude!

by the way youre awesome buddy.. you should do a lesson series!

This guy's playing is beautiful, 4:05 goosebumps!

I haven’t watched the entire video yet but I’ve got no expectations

Great playing, how about some tutorials? Might buy a guitar then :)

Great demo of spider vs. biscuit. I'm a blues player but I'm leaning toward the spider bridge. However, I think Joel could hook a broomstick to a fry pan, string it up and make it sound good. Does anyone know what tuning he uses?

🔥🔥🔥

Fantastic playing! Could you please tell us the song names? Especially the tune you play on the 9221 Gretsch. Thanks so much.

I have the Epiphone Houndog strung with 13s and tuned to Open G. Sounds great.

With the metal body it sound best, hands down

Captain can you demo some wood body and steel body tricone resonators please. You are excellent, best demo's on You Tube that's for sure!

Just wanted to say that I watched this vid soo many times and finally made a decision to get the G9221, not in small part to the amazing playing on it 🙏🏽 So please, what was the tuning (and based on which sings, guitarists). I hope that after years of woodshedding I can be even 1/10th of how good you are 🙏🏽

If I'm not mistaken, the still shot of the guitar while the Epiphone was being played was actually a National, with its signature 3 holes. Still very enjoyable.

Recently picked up slide play, and I’ve been itching for a resonator but haven’t been able to find one.

great playing, which do you prefer?

Anyone else visit this video from time to time just to hear this guy play?

Yeah, he knows he's good

Beautiful! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What tuning are you using for the Gretch 9240 wood? I am an amateur guitarist, just wondering

The first Song is an unbelieveable stones classic no expactations

@peachguitars :) Which tuning do you have when playing the yellow dobro (banjo sound)?

Which brand do you recommend for the Takamine DB 180 E Electric resonator? Thank you.

I'm torn between the Hound Dog and the Bobtail, the Bobtail has that unmistakable Delta Blues sound, but the extra warmth of the Hound Dog pulls me into it as well

You should try a gretsch boxcar. Thay have a round neck spider comb

Happy with my Gretsch G3170 but that Gold Tone, I wouldn't say no thanks.

Epi sound best to my ears

I like it

The Paul Beard signature model is nice but substantially more $$$ than the rest. My personal preference was the Gretsch steel body.

The Paul Beard Gold Tone knocks all the others out. The best sounding by far. All the others lacked the warmth and "juiciness" of the Paul Beard.

Joel. Your Into song. Was that No Expectations (Stones). Well done just the same.

@peachguitars Do you sell left handed resonator guitars?

Open D tuning for the first guitar showcase?

05:06 what is the tuning of that epiphone? (or is there tabs I can find somewhere for this? Love the groove!)

Killer playing and demo my friend. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. Firstly, can you say in your heart of hearts that you'd be able to discern the difference between a gold tone beard and a higher end beard if you were to hear each blindfolded? And even if you would be able to tell the difference [you may have heard both enough times to know], is this difference characterised by an objective inferiority/superiority in sound quality? Or let's say if you had never heard any Beard guitars before and were played samples of each, do you think you'd know which one was triple the price of the other? I'm just curious, cos I've been watching some blindfold challenge vids on the Andertons youtube channel lately and it's got me re-evaluating everything! When I first heard the beard odyssey demos for example, I felt certain that I was hearing a ''better'' more expensive sounding tone. And maybe I was right. But if I'm honest with myself I think a lot of it comes down to expectation too. And I personally don't think I'd be able to reliably guess correctly which guitar was 3k and which was 1k based purely off my ears. But perhaps that attests to my crap ears! Who knows, food for thought. Secondly- which of the four are your favourites? I'm torn between the gold tone and the steel bobtail.

I like that ol' hound dog!

I keep coming back here just listen to the tune at 2:13 anyone know what the name of it is, the style and any recommendations where I might here more like it on resonator?
