I curious about Maton guitars, how does a model like Tommy Emmanuels signature model EBG 808TE sound for it's price point compared to Yamaha, Taylor and Martin guitars in the same prince range? Although they're not classical I'm sure you guys are great at rating the sounds of those as well
Loved doing this! Thanks for coming over and challenging my ears!
You're a beast!!
You are master of your craft !
You should eventually make a second season of blind listening. This is so enjoyable to watch
Boss... and with a sense of humor.
If you ever come to Spain, you have a beer paid, colega ;)
Loved when you took sunglasses with the gangster rap, looked so cool! 😸
naming the exact model by sound alone, and then naming another model by SMELL alone.... i didn't think that would even be possible. Marshall is definitely a master of his craft!
he 100% has superpowers XD
Smell and memory have a very strong connection, I bet he can smell his father's guitars from down the block.
I'm positive that the reason he could identify it by smell is because it was his father's. I doubt he could do that with others.
Its all fiction dude, ffs.
@@fuphanwang9134 evidence
Now let's see Marshall build a guitar blindfolded!
I would agree, but i want him to keep his fingers
Honestly, he probably could
Bro still has to measure and cut.....
Not something easily done.
Nah Brandon build his own guitar
Still be nicer than anything I own lol
Marshall is such an awesome personality and this just showed his true love for his craft beautifully. Brandon, you're pretty awesome too! Such great talents together!
“It sounds American”, “it’s lacking complexity”… what a savage remark 😂
I must say, you two guys compliment each other extremely well. A wealth of entertainment and knowledge between you.
His sense of humor as well ON TOP OF being able to identify what is being played just from the sound. What a guy.
I think I speak for the whole audience when I say that we need more this. Marshall has such a superpower senses that it would be interesting to see more guitars. Maybe throw a curveball into the mix where you play the same guitar twice and simply reset the tuning while "swithing" the guitars.
Amazing! So unbelievable how Marshall can name the guitars by the year, maker, model number and the type of wood! Loved the video!
There is bound to be a part of it that's just him knowing what guitars he does have at the shop. Still extremely expensive.
yeh cant be faked this video. 100 percent legit
I nailed every single one! I guessed they were acoustic guitars, and I was 100% right!
close. They were classical guitars.
All six strings
No, you weren't.
He just needs to identify the guitar and remember all the details.
Identifying the guitar is the impressive part.
@@jankowalski6338 classical guitars are a type of acoustic guitar.
I came into this video sceptical, but now I'll never know why I underestimated the ears of a professional luthier, and a fantastic one at that! Bravo, Marshall!
AHAHAHA Man Marshall absolutely cracks me up every time he's on screen
"You know, not all heroes wear masks but some of us do" chuckling
Please keep this collaboration coming this is comedic and entertainment gold!
You definitely have grown as a content creator. your videos are getting more and more enticing. great video!
I appreciate that!
Lagrima is one of those pieces that grows with you as a guitarist. It serves you from your first year to your 50th year and only matures more beautifully with your playing with time. As beautiful as Brandon plays this here, it'll be only more complex and rich when he plays it in 30 years.
It really is a wonderful piece of music. I've played it for about 25 years now, and the melody is just so beautiful still. Amazing how emotionally sad the opening movement is in a major key, and then the B section in E minor just weeps tears, Lagrima in English is Teardrop, and that is such a perfect title.
i love the fact that you put the name of all the songs that you play even if you repeat them and that helps me remember songs that i would like to learn to play
thank you

It’s very nice to see Brandon just play a G chord sometimes
Absolutely crazy how good he is at this. It really shows the talent behind him making guitars and perfecting them is not just in the general construction but also in the ability to detect and correct even the slightest issue.
If you do this again I'd love to see him try this at someone else's shop with guitars he hasn't been hands on with.
Your editor deserves a raise
Currently it's me haha. I'll make sure to treat myself then 🤣
@@brandonacker absolutely
@@brandonacker 😂😂😂😂
Sorry ,i can 't send a chocolate box from France as a treat .try something else
@@brandonacker get yourself a beautiful ribeye.
@@brandonacker dadadadada you know I'm rocking with the D.R.E
I'm really enjoying these. We need a season 2 with a "hard mode". Marshall went too easy on Brandon for round 1 by giving him very different styles of guitar, and for round 2, maybe Marshall should be sitting far enough away that he can't smell the guitars. It would be great to have him react to guitars from outside his shop, although there are some obvious logistical issues with that. Perhaps a sponsorship or collaboration with a guitar shop in another town.
I've never seen Marshall enjoy himself so much lol. I've always respected his talents but it was so much fun watching him have fun and get goofy for once.
08:54 Marshall is so wonderfully dry/deadpan that I have absolutely no idea whether he is showing extreme professional knowledge or is being utterly ridiculous. I absolutely love it - his deadpan is absolute gold!
Wow, Marshall is at a legend-level of knowledge. I can't fathom how he knows this much. Also, your playing is wonderful, and you make it look so easy, though it's absolutely not. Nice video!
As much effort as I put into ear training, it is remarkable to me how fine tuned Marshall's ears are to frequencies. It's really impressive that you hear sound ports!
When Marshall said “it sounds Japanese” I thought the same. Well, I thought sounded like my guitar. I have a 1974 Masaru Matano, years later the model name changed to “Asturias” which what that guitar is.
What a fun video and duo. I’m beyond impressed with Marshall’s abilities. 😮
Hell yeah Part 2! Loved the first part. It's always great to see Marshall.
Marshall incredibly skilled and obviously obsessed with these instruments, which isn't a bad thing, not to mention he's pretty funny. Have a great rest of your week to the both of you. :D
This really is top tier content. You and Marshall complement each other's strengths in a great way, and I would love more videos of you both being good at things!
As someone who knows almost nothing about guitars, this series with you two is AWESOME. I love watching people display their knowledge, and you two both do a great job!
Marshall is an absolute monster.. there’s something so lovely about seeing someone be an *actual* master at their craft
Marshall is the funniest dude, you guys work so well together on screen
Are you serious!! This guy knows this to the extreme!
I really loved both of these videos. I hope there is future collaboration between the two of you.
I love how amazing it was to see Brandon play perfectly blindfolded in part 1 and now out of nowhere Marshall is somehow even more impressive. both absolute masters of there crafts, bravo!
That first guitar sounded insane even through the speakers lol
1:21
He doesn't know this, but he's one twist away from a string snapping, lashing out of control, and killing him.
This was fantastic. Your videos are always very pleasant and positive. Nice job!
Every video with Marshall is so good, he's the best. Thanks for the upload!
Great video. Completely blown away with each of your talents and expertise. Completely BLOWN AWAY. Thanks for composing and posting, it takes a lot of time, and I appreciate it. ❤
I would watch this as a regular monthly series :D this was a lot of fun. I hope there are future name that guitar with Marshall episodes!
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this video as much as I did! You two made me smile big today, biggest one of the day 😅 I need friends like you guys, for real!
These videos are such a joy man. You and Marshall click so well, more!!!
Sure !
Please do this again - i really enjoyed this. I am learning so much from both of you
WOW!!!! YOU, BOTH, ARE ASTOUNDING!!!! THANK YOU, VERY MUCH, FOR A VERY INTERESTING DEMONSTRATION OF YOUR, COMBINED, EXQUISITE SKILLS!!!
absolutely a mind blowing part 2. I enjoyed every moment of it... I wan to put my hearing to the test... looking forward to part 3
I absolutely love how well you guys get along, and these videos you do together are awesome to watch
This is great! Love that you did this and thank you for the remark about setup. Absolutely crucial. A bad setup can ruin the experience of any great instrument.
Part 3!! This was a lot of fun. I could watch this guy call it blindfolded all day.
Very fun video. Marshall is indeed a true luthier. Amazing how fast he recognises tonewoods and build types. he's got some humor too, I would love to visit his shop one day, but I live in the Netherlands, so not anytime soon I am afraid.
Marshall is such a charismatic guy. I feel like I could learn everything I need to know about building guitars from Marshall, and everything I need to know about the history of guitars from Brandon. Great video!
This was great. I could watch the two of you take these blindfold tests all day. It is a lot of fun.
I am gobsmacked by how engaging these vids are. I'm amazed at the tonal differences among these upper end instruments.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard a Brune! My friend and briefly teacher Paul Vondiziano played one that just was so pure and bright! You don’t forget that crystalline tone!
You guys are so fun together. Loved this episode!
Marshall is so naturally funny I love it. You both seem to have a great time together, makes me smile.
Thanks for the videos and that you always write which piece of music I'm listening to :)
I agree with you . Brandon has a way to play guitar which soothes me a lot .
Merci Brandon !
This is great. It would be even better in someone else's shop so he wouldn't be familiar with the instruments
Nor familiar with each instrument's location on the shelves. Marshall was allowed to listen while Brandon took the guitars from the shelves.
I'm honestly left humbled by his knowledge and passion for what he does. I'm astounded he was able to name the make and model of certain guitars by sound and SMELL alone.
Man, that 1958 Miguel Rodríguez has such a great sound. Would love to hear a whole lot more of it
Been searching for months there is only one other video with that guitar 😂
I literally can't believe Marshall could name the exact guitars blindfolded. I didn't know that was possible. Or tell there was soundports. I will never forget this video
Loved the previous video so much .. can't believe we're getting part 2 :)
And part III is on the way:)
I can listen to Brandon for hours without being bored, just delicious to the ears...
And that Miguel Rodrigues guitar, I could feel it even trough the speakers...
Listening to this without looking at the screen was incredible. I’ve never played on such expensive instruments. They sound amazing.
Nice listening with you guys and what an outstanding collection over there
I love how much I'm seeing of this luthier after the Rob Scallon build video
Theze two blindfold vids where great!
You and Marshall should do this in every once in a bue moon.
That would be nice indeed.
Great thanks mates
awesome, loved the last video cant wait to check this out!
Love these collaborations with Brune 🫶🫰
Marshall's knowledge is immense and your playing is so good. Great video
Wow! unbelieveable familiarity with the instruments, to understand them on such a deep level as to pick them out blindfolded. Much respect for this craft(Luthier) and to you Brandon for your skill as a player.
Amazing! Can't wait for part 3
super enjoyed this- Marshall is a fantastic guest. loved the editing too- good job mr editor ;)
honestly im blown away. Holy cow great job Marshal!! Just seen something I'm pretty sure most the world would think impossible. Great content guys!!
I love these videos. Great playing
8:16 Marshall gets a big hint of what the guitar is from listening to Brandon opening the cabinet to his right and he can eliminate all the guitars in the case behind him.
This was fun to watch. Marshall was so amazing here, he can distinguish what country the guitar is based from.
I have a few classical guitars. The smell of the guitar is usually very distinctive. The resonance of the body and soundboard is also very distinctive. The fretboard intonation is also very distinctive. The way a song is played on a guitar is also quite distinctive. What amazes me is how he can quickly distinguish the model and the year in just a few bars.
Brandon: "you've nailed this one"
Marshall: "I would never! at the most, I'd glue!"
That 1923 Hauser Viennese is gorgeous. I'd love to get to play that some day.
I have my piano lesson next week, but I'm also learning Minuet in G on the ukulele. I watched one of your videos on classical guitar this morning, and I'm going to take in a blindfold and play the uke.
I can't thank you enough. Merci beaucoup.
And Marshall is an artist.
I would love some kind of album going through a full song for a different guitar in his shop! Kind of like an archive of the sounds of each instrument, in a way.
I don't know a single thing about making or playing guitars. I had no idea they sounded so differently. This was such a fun video to watch.
This is the best channel on youtube. Love everything you do.
I am absolutely loving this series
Brandon, this is an awesome series.
I think you’ve taken a big leap this year as a content creator.
You should be really proud of your work.
I really appreciate that, Jacob!
I have been waiting for this, and I can say I’m already waiting for more 😅
Both guys did such a great job. It's a great demonstration of how relying primarily on monetary value is a pretty unreliable guide. So Many other factors played a deciding role, or swayed the person's preference either way.
You guys are just amazing, what a joyful episode!
I'm enjoying these videos. The 1958 Miguel Rodriguez is a fantastic sounding guitar. I love everything about the rich tone and projection. The Maple seems to have contributed significantly to its extraordinarily full sound. This is easily one of the best Classical Guitars I've ever heard. Thanks
I lived with a luthier.
Was awesome to watch the process and material choices and especially the sound hole patternings and their inspirations.
This guy is on another level though.
Awesome to watch a master of his craft.
I love these videos. Amazing how Marshall manages to nail it so down to the model and everything. In regards to having a cheap guitar that you can play rather than having an expensive one that you are having trouble playing, I have a guitar that was given to me at the age of 8-9. The guitar was probably produced in the 60-70s. My dad changed the strings on the guitar and that was it, and I had the strings on the guitar for 16 years. Now, this guitar cost $30 back then, in the late 80s. early 90s. I used to work in a guitar store and I went around to different stores to check out what they where selling that we might want, and around 12-15 years ago I played a $2,000 guitar. Now, this guitar looked amazing, but the sound felt more plastic and the harmonics was really weird. I asked about the price and I was open and honest about that I could not believe it was a $2,000 when my $30 kicked its butt. Sadly I've had to change the strings on my guitar and it sounds different, but not that much.
Great video👍 enjoyed the first as well. I’d like to see you do the same test with completely unknown guitars please?
yall have good chemistry, fun video!
its quite amazing that he can hear the sound ports. I listened intently for a few minutes, and I could not hear a divide in the treble. Im an audiophile and I run my own studio, and in all the time I've produced tracks, I've never seen someone be able to pick out sound ports on a guitar. very impressive ears.
Very impressive job from Marshall being able to hear the differences.
This is so interesting end enjoyable to watch. You both are amazing!👍
I would love to see his reaction hearing a 100$-300$ guitar with him thinking that they are all 1,000$ or above.
Wow!! Very impressive! Great job again!
I love the Miguel Rodrigues. What a nice sounding guitar!
Love the videos like always, could you maybe make a video where all (or maybe a select few) your comments suggestions you play?
