I swear this guy could probably sell me a half eaten bagel.

@Polako Polakovic wow😂
rdubby 😂😂😂
The amount of passive aggressiveness against Ed Sheeran here is amazing
Lol 😆 true
🤣
Hmm, I don't hear that.
You mean that kid sized man who loops a riff when he finally gets it right?
didn't hear it
jack sparrow of guitars
mokoyusha he looks more like Hozier
Johnny Depp actually plays guitar
I GOT A JARRR OF PIIICCKKSS
where's the rum?
I thought his name was jack swallows...lol😂
Dude is killing that G chord
I swear you could sell me a empty water bottle
That’s how most water bottles are sold in America.
i swear this guy could sell me air
i like how i came here to know what guitar size i need and instead was taught about the different types of guitars
Dread not, there is a guitar out there for you!
I see what u did there
I thought that was a typo at first
Fret not, for the puns are not over yet!
Lol nice one autocrow
You’re amazing 😂
When your finger tips do get calloused, pulling a hot plate of food out of the microwave and placing it on your finger tips to carry over to the table is a guitarists mutant X-men power. Yeah, it may not be the best mutant power but it comes in handy saving food from being dropped on the floor. Especially, when you're really hungry and your watching something on the Tele. (Why I'm I starting to develop an accent?)
You can also win at hot potato 100% of the time
I know this was from 5 years ago, but I just came across it. As someone from the USA, I will watch this video multiple times just to hear the words, "plectrums" (instead of "picks"), 'CAPPOS' (instead of "capos") and "bums" (instead of butts). 😁 Oh, and the video is clear, concise and easy to understand! 😊
If I lived in the UK, I'd go to this store just to talk to Dagan.
He’s in Newcastle incase you travel to talk to him
Dagan, you are so full of energy and knowledge. You are an energetic and adorable! I love your humor and energy.
I love all the topics that you cover. You make all the topics easy to understand. One can also get a really good idea of how the different guitars sound, by your superb ability to play.
This really isn't a size guide, though is it?
I'm about 5'11. What type of electric should I get?
@@br9760 Any normals sized
Paintball Noob I’m 5 1. What size acoustic should I get.
YvnG DINO Midget size
@@senorpollo6244 Parlor size is pretty good and small
Why am I watching this? Because of Dagan
I already got a guitar to my birthday a couple weeks ago, but i still cant stop watching this guy here. Hes so good at what he does, id be afraid, walking in his store with my wallet
"A STARTER PACK!!!"
-- That motion was the best part of the whole video. Thank you. I would come by if I were in that country, lol.
That was very helpful, entertaining and straightforward! Thank you!
This is a lovely little overview! I appreciate the encouraging, positive tone and the real-world examples of “this sounds kinda like this style, or this artist” and that there wasn’t machismo about playing smaller or inexpensive guitars.
This is GREAT seriously i have recently started and this guy made me know what type of guitar to get so cheers 🎸🎸
That was really interesting. Thanks for the video.
Nice video, loved how it was well explained!
9:32 that was my first guitar strap. Picked it up with a semi hollow no turning back after that
4:40 was the first guitar I bought! And same with no going back, what is there to life other than guitar?
Great thanks! You're adorale and have a nice, warm voice and vibe. 😊👍
Dagan is the man! Been watching for a little over 2 years now hes one of my favorites along with Tyler from music is win
Great video Dagan!
Thanks for sharing mate!
very motivational towards the end :)
Greetings from Vacaville,California (U.S.A). Really liked the video. Was fun to watch. Just bought a Yamaha FD01S solid top last night (my 1st name brand guitar).
I'm happy this video is out there. I can't tell you how many smaller-framed totally new beginner students are sold gigantic dreadnoughts which they then struggle with and quit. Then they try a little 000 style or gretsch jim dandy, and you can literally see their eyes light up and they go ""Ohhhhh! I had no idea a guitar could be this easy to play!"
This man is made for the camera 🙌🏼 I swear he moonlights as a TV presenter 😅
Thank u! This was very informative! :)
Not sure this was the 'size' guide I was looking for. I get guitars come in different sizes (obviously) but I was hoping for guidance on choosing one based on torso height, arm position, etc. Still, informative. I never considered choosing one based on genre, just is it bright or mellow
Exactly.
i also thought that’s what this was
Ya
That's what I was looking for as well. Still, this was interesting.
I was a big Metallica fan
So obviously my first guitar was a classical
I am a big Metallica fan too, but I am broke. So i have to go with acoustic, lol
@@notoriusdrifter40 I got my classical for like 70$
@@notoriusdrifter40 you can get a bullet strat and a travel amp for around 150 quid
@@ZaynShah871 s'all good now, I have an Ibanez Gio and Boss Katana Mk2 100Watt amp
Ditto! 😄
Very Good, Thank you 👌
My first adult, expensive guitar (1968) was a classical. Given my smallish hands, that thing, with its unplayable flat, jet runway fretboard killed my interest for 50 years, when I finally got a nice small-body steel-string guitar with a comfortably radiused fretboard.
Thiis was so helpful!!!
Not a single member of our Bg group has less than 35 years experience on their chosen instruments. Our banjo player is 67 y o. Plays a Gibson RB250
Mastertone. He aklso plays his D35, a Kentucky fiddle, a Steiner fiddle, and a Dopera Bros resophonic "Dobro" guitar. I'd like to name our band "Old and
outta tune"!!!!
The body of your acoustic guitar really makes a difference on the style you play. I was considering a dread for fingerstyle but the responce of the top was way to slow. I will remain with my 000 for now :)
Another great video. I really wish you folks would give clinics to American music stores on how to make their stores fun and inviting.
Could just be my luck, but when I go into most guitar stores here in California the sales associates are rude snobby jerks who obviously don't want to be there. Didn't mean to vent.
You guys are awesome. BIG fan.
gmscurto So true. There's a guitar center store in midtown NYC - zero help given, they couldn't give a shit who was in the store or why you (potential customer) are there. It's as if they're getting paid to NOT sell instruments.
Dagan you are amazing
Cheers Russel Edward Brand...kool previews indeed matey...tata..
Oh my God, I love him😂 The way He showed the electric guitars 5:43
Edit: AND THE STARTET PACK. 7:56 THAT GUY, IS SO BEAUTIFULLY WEIRD, OH MY GOD
Hello - Thank you for all the informational videos on guitars - they are very helpful - Could you also post a video on "What is the best guitar for Percussive playing?"
Dude you are awesome.
My mom bought my first electric guitar or guitar period from my old preacher. It was a Michael Kelly that looks like a Starcaster. We bought it for $300 but it's retail is $1,100
Okay this helped a lot, understand way better ideally I'd like for my first. Dreadnaught for all that sound range, dont mint mind that its larger then others. Perhaps after some proficiency an electric one acoustic.
Strangely, the first dreadnought acoustics didn’t bear the Martin logo, but were made for the Oliver Ditson Company with production beginning in 1916, marketing being centred upon New York and Boston.
These models had 12-fret-to-the-body necks, slotted pegheads, no pickguards and with unique inlays and soundhole rosettes. However, in terms of construction, they featured mahogany backs and sides and spruce tops; since becoming pretty much standard with makers of dreadnought-style guitars worldwide.
Hey! thanks. Fantastic video 💜. To me the dreadnought was cumbersome, ooo is my size.
Very good!
I play accoustic bass guitar in an amateur bluegrass band, but I've played standard guitars much longer (70 years). Started on standup bass 5/8ths size.
When I got a chance I played our banjo player Martin D35. Shunned buying a Martin as a result. But in the last year I've bought several Martins trading up.
When my pal bought his D35 it was a 68 model he bought in 69. $550.00. Now D35 prices have skyrocketed. Next on my radar is an upgrade to a Martin
accoustic bass guitar.
great video
Yeah, the parlor and other small bodies came first. Orchestra models and THEN the Dreadnought. The Jumbo's come along after looking for more volume and bass.
He's such an amazing salesman!
Gosh darn it this guy's charming
Flamenco and classical guitars are slightly different from each other but are both Spanish guitars because they both originate from Spain.
Already have 5 guitar
*still looking for more*
7:28. I couldn't agree with you more! I just bought my Yamaha Dreadnought last week, i was finding that even though i'm not particularly good on the electric yet, i found that if i picked up an acoustic, i couldn't play it at all. Also when a group of us would go out, there would always be someone with an acoustic guitar and it made it an awesome chill sesh!
this guy is awesome
I never visited PMTVUK because I'm from India BUT I JUST LOVE PMTVUK SO MUCH ❤❤
I don't like big dreadnought bodies. The old parlor guitars are the best size imo. Nice and small. Usually I'd be playing plugged in anyway so the volume bonus you get from the bigger bodies is nullified. I own a vintage parlor guitar from 1909, which the previous owner electrified. Great tone!
Question: i really love the yamaha apxt2 acoustic/electric guitar. Im very tiny with very small hands. Is the neck regular width or is it small? I have a hard time reaching on big neck guitars.
I am stuck in a rut learning to play as I am still on the first module for six months only now I have horrible wrist pain plus my hand falls asleep. Why? I have small hands (6.5in from wrist to the tip of the longest finger, and 7.5in from tip of the thumb to a fully spread out hand's tip of the pinky) so to reach the half the strings I have to bend my wrist which is giving me carpal tunnel. What would help as the Squire is too much for me?
Thanks, I’m a ukulele player and I’m trying to find a nice small guitar I can use.
What store is this guy in? I wanna meet him lmao
The one in Newcastle that's where this was filmed but I don't know if he's actually there as I live in the midlands
@@FudgyMations west midlans? I live here
Yeah hes in Newcastle my local one
Viribus lmao
@@FudgyMations omg West Midlands
At 3:35, what kind of parlor guitar is he playing? I think I could see "Fender" on its headstock, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance.
What's the size of a classical guitar that's right under the full size? Sizes in order what comes next after full size? I want a smaller guitar but not so much smaller than the full size
as a kid I never knew there were different sizes for guitars, so my parents bought me a guitar that was literally like the size of my body. u telling me there were different guitar sizes and I could've saved myself the struggle of playing a massive guitar- T.T
Amazing 🤗🎸
The term "cut away" terrifies people??
Barry Duggan yep it confused me
Polako Polakovic learn how to spell first before you make fun of people’s religion
I still don t know what size to buy. In fact, this is a very bad video regarding its title
Just buy a full size or 3/4 size
or a parlor or a concert
It may not be what you expected but "very bad video" is rather harsh, no?
Cheap but playable well made, platform change swap out pick ups Slash guitar - consider Vintage 100
I want that !!!! 2:03 😭❤️
Is there an acoustic guitar in the size/shape identical or almost similar to an electric guitar? My acoustic guitar now feels bulky since I started practicing more and more on my electric. Thanks!
0:12 straight headshot on me lol
What is that Fender you were using to explain the benefits of an electroacoustic guitar?
Its weird that my guitar very very looks like a classical but its actually a steel string guitar... because it has bridge pins and i saw inside it has bracings...
What is the guitar brand you picked after fender?
I love the presentation of this vid, but it would be nice to hear some suggestions for different sized adults. Myself, a 5'6" woman with small hands is going to have a different experience to a child or a tall bloke with big hands. Though thank you for pointing out people like Ed Sheeran use smaller guitars, it makes me less embarrassed to be buying something that is marketed to children 99% of the time.
7:12 I'm lookin at you, Tele elite
I've been playing guitar for years and he could still convince me to buy one of these beginner ones 😂😂
Though I could listen to this guy all day... This video was about everything, but why I came here: guitart sizes.
I'm 16 and I was thinking of buying a guitar 3/4 because it's cheaper. Just until I can learn to play it, then I'd buy a nicer, aucustic one. But would a 3/4 guitar be too small for me?
What is the model of the blue guitar you picked up at the beginning of the video clip?
I'm 5'4 should I go for drednaught or medium ??
My son got a starter kit. Beautiful guitar but boy heavy! They got my tiny 9 year old 65lbs a full scale. He can't stand more than 10 minutes. I need a super light guitar < $300 USD. Any recommendations?
Which ones are the best travel size guitars with pick up?? Not so expensive though haha
Which size produces the richest sound do you think Dreadnought, Jumbo or Concert?
Very helpful advice. Perhaps a bit-slower delivery? That would help in absorbing all the info. Thanks.
The Dreadnought guitar was not the first acoustic guitar parlor guitars came before them
I like the Yamaha one but... what size is it?
What classical guitar was he modeling in this vid?
So which acoustic size should I choose if I like strumming but also live in an apartment with paper walls?
3:25 what’s the name of that guitar?
What is that type of guitar in 2:45? Please help.
Does anybody know in what direction the guitar prices have moved over the last 10-20 years? I am asking because it seems rock music as a whole has been going through a period when it’s much less popular. Well definitely electric guitar rock is less popular.
Mate, you could sell ice to the Eskimos! 🤟🏻
Parlors for life
4:39 what is that guitar?
4:41 what guitar?
What the Yamaha small model call?
Which size l buy as begainer
