A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his KZfaq channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

I've had my Martin D28 since 1972. I was 12. I am 61 now. Next year will be my Martin's 50th birthday! I've taken it everywhere. It has a few scars. Nothing terrible but it makes it mine. Martins are lifetime guitars. They take a piece of your heart and keep it. And in return they give you years and years and decades of inspiration. Even with all the age and a few scars, or even because of it, it is the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen.

I bought a Martin HD28 in 2008 Sean. Now 13 years later I'm still mesmerized and totally taken by the sound. And the smell of the wood through the soundhole is intoxicating. I'm so happy for you! The excitement from you in the video just reverberated through my screen!

The Martin Guitar factory and Museum is actually located in Nazareth, PA -- not Bethlehem. Interestingly, the lyric, "I pulled into Nazareth...", from the song 'The Weight' (by The Band), is a reference to that town. P.S.: that's not an "extra" bridge pin...it's the strap button for the bottom of the guitar. Congrats on the new 'D'!!

When I opened up my new Martin D-28 earlier this year, same sensual over load: The smell, the elegant simplicity of it, the fact Paul McCartney used a D-28 to record Blackbird at Abbey Road, the fact my first name is Martin (wanting to get the Mrs. a Martin Owner t-shirt). And the first strum…huge loads of big aural goodness filled the room! Enjoy man, months later, I’m still giddy over mine!

That set me on an adventure. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to pick up 3 more Martins, a J-16CE maple, a 000-15M, and a 000-28 Reimigined, the 28 is the only one I bought new. I love all things martin.

I spent a long time of the opinion that the Martin dreadnought sound didn't really do anything for me, and I was willing to wait until the right one came around. A used HD-28 pretty much fell in my lap when I went to have my Larrivee D-03 worked on and I'm eating crow and enjoying the sound. I'm still in love with my Larrivee, it's a wonderful example of a mahogany dread, but Martin dreads in Rosewood really are something special.

Great video Sean. I'm thinking about to purchase a Martin D 35 to play fingerpicking. Is this guitar suitable to play fingerpicking? My local store only have the series D16, 18, 28, 35 and 41. I played the D16, D18, and D28, but I found their sound low. Sadly, these are the only available models in the store. What guitar would you chose betwenn the Martin D35 and D41 to play fingerpicking and strumming?

@seandaniel23 3 ай бұрын

Can't go wrong either way! I personally think the D35 is where it's at. I think it's best value model. The 41 is amazing as well, but for me and my style (and I do play a lot of fingerstyle), I don't need anything more than a 35.

Sean your eyes even lit brighter than for the ladies so that Martin is really your deal for life. Its really a nice, knew it would be D-35 classic Martin dread. Wait until it really breaks in the coming months and loses some that stiffness in the top and then it will sound sweeter. Good score. Love to do the Martin museum and factory tour, someday. Hope you will do some video of the tour. Also they have an performance room there so you might want to do one of your songs and shot it there. Fun times.....

The D35 was always my dream as well. Got one about 4 years ago. They are gorgeous, I love the 3 piece back and bound fretboard. I also like the sound better than D28, has more balance and not as boomy. Like yours, no pickup, but I can use one of several wireless pickups so as not to drill a hole for a jack. Or use a mic. I did grow one guitar old along with me. I bought a new Gibson J50 in 1971 and still play it. She has 52 years now and just keeps sounding better. Unlike me....
