Thank you Sir,
The .60mm picks sound much too thin..The BC 45 sounds fuller, warmer, more bottom end and more pleasing to the ear.
very nice chorus hope u had a good xmas. best channel i found this year keep it up man i love ur songs

FG5? Strings here? 12-53? Elixir 80/20?
Yes to all !!!
Is that an FG5? Made in Japan? Great Yamaha...What strings here? flat pick? Have you ever seen or played a FG180 50th anniversary? How does this FG5 compare to your FG700s? Is the saddle and nut on these bone from factory?
Yes FG5. I normally use Dunlop USA Nylon .60mm but also various other picks. I have not played the 180 50th but do have an old FG 180-1 Black Label. The 5 blows the doors off the 700. Yes bone nut/saddle from factory on the 5.
Are those 12-53 strings? Have you tried P.B. instead of 80/20? What is your 12th fret string heights at E and e? Are you going to change to bone saddle?
@@billdedrick1914 Yes 12-53s. Don’t like PBs, I find they dull the sound…to me anyway. 2mm at 12th…usually .008 neck relief, lower saddle height. Yes bone saddle and nut on it now.
@@jamesmacdon9351 I have a FG700s the serial# is HiX230108 I believe it is 2001...I installed a bone nut and saddle and my 12th fret heights on E and hi e are 6/64" (.093" or 2.36mm) and 4/64" (.063" or 1.60mm)..and neck relief is .002"-.003" at 7th fret.almost a flat neck..no buzzing...Presently have 13-56 D'addario EJ17 but going to try 12-53 soon. Are you using XS 12's 80/20 or Elixir nano 80/20 12's? How did your sound change with the bone nut and saddle..Improvement? What bridge pins are you using? I am still using the original plastic black with white dot pins..I don't think bridge pins make a huge difference in sound except for Tusq which does add clarity and some sustain...You should put up a video with it now with bone nut and saddle..What flat pick and thickness are you using here?
You are a good player.
Thank you Alexander !!
Pero se oye muy bien
Sweet work there my friend
Thank you Michael !!
One thing i don't agree with you, Martin is not always better than this LL16 ARE, i've tried so many Martins in guitar stores that sounded very poorly, you have to find the right one! My YAMAHA LL 16D IN BLACK sounds way better than many D-28, HD-28, and many high end Gibsons!
For sure and good points.
Nice
rock on brother another smooth solo and tune from the man 😎

@@ianmacpherson623 Thank you Ian. Yes, I don’t advertise at all and quite frankly don’t care…at 61 now not so much into marketing and gadgetry….lol
Hello, i enjoy your videos and music. Im looking at upgrading from a fg800 to an fg5 or fs5, is there s huge jump in playability and tone? I prefer warmer tones and instrument comfort over everything else if this means much. Thank you!
@@mountfairweather FS5 fits that…comfort and warm tone…
Приветствую, скажите по вашему опыту чем отличается Ямаха fg3 от fg5 ? И стоит переплачивать или fg3 тоже хороший вариант? Спасибо за видео очень хороший был тест двух прекрасных гитар, раньше только хотел LL 16 теперь уже смотрю в сторону fg😊
I had the FGX3 with the pick up in it. A great guitar however the 5 just seems to sound better, is lighter (of course with no pick up in it) and just seems better make - fret ends are better rounded, precision bone nut and saddle. Of course on the 3 you can just add a bone nut and saddle and probably have the same guitar. The 5 does come with a custom hard case as well so that is probably a couple of hundred right there in price difference. Both are top notch. As far as the LL16 goes a different beast - much more boomy and punch, heavier, has a great pick up in it and is absolutely stunning to look at. Has a beefier neck and rings like a bell. The LL16 is normally the one I use if singing for family, friends etc as it just resonates a room. I don't do live shows anymore, just like to play at home. I am 61 so don't think I would have it in me to try and play for 3 hours singing. LOL - thanks for watching and whatever choice to you make to buy, you can't lose as there is always another guitar to want/buy...lol
@@jamesmacdon9351спасибо за ответ 🤝 скажите ещё где мягче натяжение струн в LL 16 или fg5? У LL 16 верхний и нижний порожек тоже кость? И лады приятные как у fg5? Спрашиваю так как поиграть нет возможности только под заказ гитару можно приобрести.
@@makssila3572 String tension is better on the FG5. LL16 has urea nut/saddle. Frets are much better on the FG5 - much better finished. The 5 is quite a bit more expensive but worth it if you can afford it.
@@jamesmacdon9351скажите ещё вы играли на LL-ta? Мне сказал менеджер что это одна и та же гитара LL 16. Но только LL-ta это трансакустика , но по звуку мне кажется что LL 16 лучше звучит 🤔 скажите имели вы дело с LL ta?
Great song James, good guitar and vocals, like

@@colehardy1433 Thank you Cole 🎶🎵🙏🥰🤓
That’s a plastic nut ! Change it !!
@@hobodogjohnson9075 I did try bone and tusq saddles but made the guitar way too bright so switched back. The nut would be about $150 here in Canada to get switched. It sounds and plays well now but may switch.
Congratulations! You sing very well, play very well and have a lot of quality equipment! Hugs from Brazil

Thanks for the vid. I love our TWO fg700s from about 2012. I just installed a new set of 12-53 80/20 Nanowebs on mine. Incredible tone. I lowered the action on both gits to 4.5 /64ths on 6 and 4/64ths on 1. .008 relief at the 8th fret. These 'cheap' Yam gits sing like birds and play like buttah..
@@gravityalwayswins1434 Yes, amazing sounds from these gems. Extremely resonate.
fantastic cover! Loved every second of it!
@@anthonygeorge5632 Thanks Anthony 🎵🎶🤓
Just seen you pop up on my feed wicked job new sub keep on shining man
Thank you very much...appreciate your kind words !!
Guild sounds good. I used to have a D-40 and a D-55. The 55 was the best sounding guitar I've ever heard to this day. Good job.
Thank you very much...Mine is a Guild GAD 50...quite old and seen many many gigs, parties and jams...lol
Заебись!
Good.
Thank you! Cheers!
Gayest video ever.
The woke cry babies lost.
When you bitches lost, you attacked the US Capitol building in the thousands to try and kill legislators, senators and the US Vice President who had followed the constitution. Then you lied about the outcome and used your lie to supperess legal votes in every state legislature you controlled - again, defying the constitution. And you sent the criminal who lied to you your money for his junk and gewgaws and legal bills for criminal defense, and he STILL got convicted of 34 criminal felonies via constitutional due process that he'd tried to defeat, and will again, because he's STILL a criminal, STILL committing crimes, and YOU voted for that, because you're a bish azzed simpleton. You're the cry baby, bish.
Now this guy can play the blues ❤
