As a man who makes a living by selling stuff, I’m guilty as charged. However, THE most common question I receive via email or down at the store is: What do I need to get started playing an instrument? I hope these vids help folks answer that question.

I was kind of hoping the video would explain to my wife why I NEED another guitar.

My buddy hopes that if he dies before his wife, that she doesn’t sell his instruments for what he told her he paid for them.

You just have her call me and I’ll close the deal.

Gosh, I wish I knew about those tone guards before I made a couple of nicks in the back of my Martin :frowning:

Do you ever discuss Classical Nylon strings vs Regular Steel string

No, I don’t, simply because they aren’t very relevant in the bluegrass world.

do you still use capos on electric guitars?

Yeah, folks do at times if they’re needing to get certain open string sounds, but it’s less common for sure.

Love my martins too,
