I played classical guitar every day almost for 30 days while my mom was in the hospital. She died but loved my music. I am using some of my inheritance to buy a classical guitar. This video inspired me to go to a luthier instead of a big brand. I got to meet Darren and he reminds me of Marshall. Knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to. If you get the chance, get a luthier to build your perfect instrument. Its rewarding being involved in the construction of your instrument. Choosing the wood will excite you and the excitement is then far surpassed by the quality these small luthiers can often achieve at bargain prices. I clarify, bargain in 5000-7000 thousand dollars. But this money is far better invested in a luthier that you know. The quality of your instrument will remind you every time you play it.

Thats really expensive
@DraydanGuitarist Жыл бұрын
@@deafbyhiphop Gibsons are expensive too, and most of em nowadays have shoddy build quality for the same price jason just mentionned. For beginners, a 100 to 300 $ guitar is quite enough honnestly , you shouldn't spend more then this until you feel that what's holding you back is not your actual skill, but the instrument itself, at that point then you can either choose to spend more, or be content with what you have You also have to keep in mind that he's talking about hiring a professional craftsmen with years of experience to make an instrument custom-tailored for you, just like in this video. Anything from the rosette pattern, the type of wood, the neck's shape, the amount of strings can be different on each guitar, for example a 12 string guitar will probably require far more support due to the increased string tension , but you also have to minimise the size of said supports to maximise the instrument's sound quality, it's alot of intricate balance that can either make or break a guitar.
@deafbyhiphop Жыл бұрын
@@DraydanGuitarist Luthier guitars are pretty high quality. But 5 grand to 7 grand is still relatively low for a professional grade classical guitar. Some of these can go up to 25 or 30 grand or even more. I personally dont think classical guitars are worth that much, i think luthiers just take advantage of the art itself being a snobby hobby that people with money are willing to dish out 30 grand for.

I've had a similar experience with fighting games, where I realized I could practice them like guitar with metronomes, timing, and sequence memorization in mind.

Masterful skill takes form more often in the ability to recover from mistakes instead of the ability to avoid them. Marshall uses his knowledge to make a very difficult task more forgiving and user friendly because at the end of the day, he too is human, and can make a mistake from time to time. His process has so much wiggle room to fix things as well as so much redundancy that he doesn't have to rely only on his own skills (if you measure enough times before cutting and leave some excess to sand off, even you can be very precise). It's honestly impressive how easy (in a relative sense, it's still very difficult and skillful) Marshall has made it to make a fine instrument within his shop. This 5 day guitar is only a further testament to that. At no point was there any concern on finishing the guitar in time, because the process is so streamlined and user friendly
@JC-11111 2 жыл бұрын
Being able to teach and/or explain what you're doing to someone else isn't part of being a luthier, though. It's not a requirement whatsoever. All that's required is to be able to do the work, to put it simply. So, what you're pointing out actually has nothing to do with being able to tell how good of a luthier he is. You do that by looking at his work. What you're pointing out is unrelated. It has no connection whatsoever. All that means is that he's a good teacher. Being a good teacher doesn't automatically mean he's a good luthier or vice versa. The two things can be mutually exclusive. You can have 1 without the other.

The tuning system alone costed 350$ and I imagine that all the wood is not cheap either. It's also a craft that requires precision, care, knowledge and skill. I probably will never buy such an "expensive" guitar but after seeing this video I totally see how such "expensive" guitars exist and that the price is more then reasonable. This was an absolutely beautiful video and Marshall can be proud to create such art with his craft.

It's a solid chunk of cheap alder that takes about 10 seconds to route out for pickups and electrics and about 60 seconds to paint. Leo Fender chose to skip ebony or rosewood to the maple neck to AVOID cost!!! Custom Shop guitars are about $3500 for the basic and go up to $10000 and beyond. The more you know about manufacturing the less credibility these crazy prices have. Note, the Squire Affinity by Fender retails, "RETAILS" (that is with retailer margin$ added) for $200 and is essentially the same design. Even putting in custom wound pickups and bone nut etc. can't possibly justify Fender Corona's margins. Again, I love Stratocasters and think they are one of the best industrial designs of the 20th century. It's the outrageous Fender margins I have heartburn with. The more consumers know the better. 😃

@@cratecruncher6687 Fender brand has power and trust to a lot of guitar and soon-to-be guitar players. As for the price, Fender isn't screwing the consumers as bad as you may think. If you understand business then you need to factor in many different variables such as: marketing, import tax, overhead costs, advertising and market research and not to mention inflation. They are a business and I've never heard of a business who said "I wanna sell products and break even!!" so yes, Fender does mark up their prices in order to keep being in business as well as making a profit. If you think it's overpriced no worries. However, I don't think you'll ever see a brand new quality hand built fender selling for a few hundred bucks like in the 60's-70's. Nor from any guitar company for that matter. As for us consumers we have SO many options nowadays. If Fender were way overpriced and screwing us consumers they couldn't survive due to heavy competition. Just my 2 cents. Cheers! :)

There's also the question of importance here. As an electric guitar maker you might disagree with me here, and fair enough if you do, but I feel that with _all_ the things happening to a signal after it left an electric guitar, at the minimum the amp, plus usually a pedal or two, or more, electric guitars cry less for absolute perfection. I remember a couple of years back, make it maybe a decade, an experiment of some dude strapping the chassis of a VCR recorder to some hardware and pickups. There was a difference in tone to a well made electric guitar, but it wasn't as massive as you'd think. This if, of course, not to undermine your craft, but I feel like electric guitars, at least these days, have a little more room for error.

The player and the audience are transported and that's what classic unplugged 6 strings do so well, in their oh so distinctive manner, and this performance certainly did not disappoint.

Not sure what they meant by time crystal, but two that come to mind: In electronics you can apply a voltage to a crystal and this will cause it to vibrate very regularly. Everything has a clock which uses a crystal to set the base frequency. In condensed matter physics, a time crystal is the temporal analogue to a material crystal. A material crystal has periodicity over space, the repeating atomic lattice. A time crystal appears to repeat motion over time - while at apparent ground state. Consider that if a system is in ground state - the properties of it must be intrinsic and fundamental. Motion in the ground state is completely counter-intuitive obviously and mathematically. But, this apparent motion, isn't quite motion, for one, it could not impart energy as there is no energy for it to impart. The guys who discovered it showed that there can be minimal energy states with non-zero velocities using quartic representations of the kinetic energy because right at the resting state, velocity cannot be expressed with momentum. It brings up a lot of questions. Some things that come to mind for conceptualization would be considering how a classical system with kinetic energy could have 0 angular momentum and the behaviour of BE condensates. (A state of matter where all particles in the system can exist with the same properties, becoming sort of a megaparticle self-interacting fluid. Theoretically electron flow in super conductors is similar.) The trick is remembering this is a quantum one, where instead of points and a sort of billiard model...you need to adopt a probabilistic one...Imagine ghosts of every possibility of all break out comes - imagine the ghosts themselves are part of the interaction. It's like a classical system cancelling out angular momentum, but a lot more complex. Anyways, have a good day.

I wondered what made this video so incredibly beautiful to watch and you know what? Besides all the unbelievable craftsmanship and passion, it's also because of Marshall and Rob's way of treating each other. There's no "manly" joking about each other, it's just two people respecting one another. Even when Rob is asking what a saddle is (2:05:07) there's no joking or anything, just a professional answer to that. Every person who has been to a guitar shop knows the arrogant answers you often get when asking the people working there. With Marshall there's nothing like that. He seems like an incredibly nice and funny person and is really eager to just explain everything in detail so that Rob understands. At this level of skill and knowledge, you rarely find people that, most people tend to become arrogant. Look at his smile when Rob says he loves it (2:10:44) that is what he is doing it for.

I was very impressed with how smoothly you were able to transition through scenes while juggling instruments, camera angles, activating screensharing and magically adding screen graphics for your audience, all on your own, never batting an eye. Your execution and delivery of the lesson were on point, never getting too hungup or distracted by commenters or perfecting the song and really focusing on the key points you wanted your audience to walk away with. You were so relaxed and at ease that I was able to easily digest all the information and follow along without losing interest. I did in fact learn a few lesso sa .

I love how supporting marshall was. Often professionals that feel threatened or want to look "badass" tend to make everything more difficult to make themselves look more skilled, but Marshall was really supportive and seems like a great teacher. Probably also a great person to talk with!

I loved Marshall's comment on shaping the saddle to get the right, defined note on your guitar.

I planned to watch this like a documentary white noises to sleep but all those details and knowledge the luthier shared on every steps fascinates me and cost me 2.5 hour of bedtime

To be honest, i thought the strings were buzzing quite a lot, i'm not to sure if it was the way he was struming/plucking the strings, or if it was due to the fretboard curvature, other than that, i would have to agree with you on how nice the song came together, i love the overly used harmonics ^-^

That song reminds me of Santaolalla's music. Just beautiful.
