Thank you Chris for your soft playing, it makes me quiet and happy each time I am listening to your notes. Don't matter the barb ahd hairs, Take care of you
The 000-15m only gets better with age. The sound really opens up and deepens. Mine is about 5 years old now. It's a regular 15m - I removed the pickguard when I got it and I'm wearing in the finish with hours of playing. Took a tour of the Martin factory to see where they made it last year. Great seeing all the Mahogany bodies in production.
Wow, wanted to learn about this model; I have the 000-16 StreetMaster, love it, but your playing is mesmerizing.I could play this video over and over all night long like a great album. Thank you Chris for the inspiration and peaceful moments. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much Jax! I’d love to try or demo a 000-16 StreetMaster sometime, awesome combination of tone woods. Thanks again for your kind comment, take care.
@@ComicKish So many things to consider, so I won’t be able to decide for you. What Taylor guitar is it? Do you favor the sound of mahogany over something else? Taylor tends to be much more modern in sound and feel, the 15 series is very much the opposite. .
I have this guitar and love it! I play a lot of fingerstyle like you and it is the warmest well rounded sound I've found. I played every guitar at the Martin Factory in PA last summer and the only one that grabbed me was the 000-16 Streetmaster. It will be my next guitar...similar the 000-15M Streetmaster but with the VTS Spruce top, it has the "other" sound that I sometimes am looking for. It is more articulate than the 000-18 or 000-28HD that I played at a fraction of their prices!
This is awesome dude. I just ordered one of these beauties, and I was wondering if I made the right choice and going through all the videos I could find until I stumbled on yours. The way you played this guitar really brought to life it’s beauty and I am now happy with my decision and I’m excited to welcome this baby home!
Hi Jacob Im glad I was able to give you some reassurance on your purchase. In fact I'm sure you're going to love it. I recently bought a 000-15, which is essentially the same thing, and I'm over the moon how great that guitar is too. And thanks a lot for your kind words. Take care, and if you want, let me know what you think when you receive your Streetmaster :-)
My goodness! Beautiful sound...marvelous player! I own a Martin 000-15SM that I hoped to compare to the 000-15M with this video, but your playing is far beyond my capabilities...Bravo! Subscribed.
It is a simple and very beautiful performance. It is very difficult to produce such a beautiful sound and it is technically wonderful. The emotion and music of your country of birth resonates with me.
@@ChrisEffort Heck yeah man. Thank you. How would you compare that to the D-15m Streetmaster? I bought the d-15m recently online and got it and sounded beautiful, but better for picking. I had to return it bc when hammering on the first few frets of the high-E string, it twanged and fizzled out (the sound). I was so bummed but now thinking of getting the 000 style bc they say it's better for finger picking.
Thank you Kevin! I really appreciate it. This one belongs to a good friend of mine, I have the regular 000-15 which is equally as amazing. Great guitars
I suppose I stumbled onto this video as I was looking for reviews for the Martin 000-15M Streetmaster. I'm so glad this popped up! Chris, your playing is so amazing. It makes a person wish they could just play as good. I would say Martin owes you. I ended up buying a 000-15M Streetmaster. I can't play it anywhere as well as you do but I fell in love with the sound the guitar produces thank to your playing.
Unfortunately I don’t think it is. I’m pretty sure it’s the same construction as a regular 000-15, which is believe is a ‘simple dovetail’ straight tenon joint with a bolt. But it sound amazing nonetheless. Thanks for your comment, and merry Christmas
Absolutely beautiful!! Your touch and tone are perfect! I just purchased the same Martin and am just beginning my excursion into the acoustic guitar world. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Superb feel and playing as always Chris. A genuine treat to listen to. The guitar has such a beautiful tone too and you've captured it so well. Thanks! 😃
Hi Chris, I just want to let you know that I enjoyed listening to your playing. It brought me back down memory lane. This guitar sounds so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your video.
Really enjoy the simplicity of your videos, and your playing. And the only few videos you have so far all showcase stuff I’m interested in! Keep em coming!
I was torn between the 00015M and the D16E (short finger), but after seeing your performance, I’m leaning towards the 00015M. I also liked the 00028, but the price is a bit too high for me.
Just stunning playing. Just found your channel I have a broken wrist and can’t play. I feel good from watching this for sure. Great channel, great sound and beautiful playing. Keep it up. 4:34
@@THOMANDTHEWOLVES It’s tough to say, because I think every 000-15 will sound slightly different. My 000-15 sounds incredible, it’s light and very responsive, the StreetMaster I borrowed was too, but felt and sounded somehow stiffer, not in a bad way. It might just be a setup thing tbh. In truth I would just go for the one that look and sounds the best to you. Some of the StreetMasters can in my opinion look it little too overdone with the relic.
The Streetmaster's sound really great, you are playing it so fine too...I heard the Streetmaster have a completely different finish than the regular 000-15m & sm!
I love mahogany guitars. The 000 or auditorioum is my favourite shape. The Martin 00015 or the Guild M20 are amazing. I also like Taylor models, but they have their own place. I wish I could afford one of these. I will have to stick to a Sigma XD
@@ChrisEffort have you tried detuning this guitar a full step to a D? I'm looking for a guitar that can handle being detuned without going out of tune often. You have detuned here right? How was the guitar for staying in tune? Incredible playing by the way
The my Good my sonho de on day, ter condições de comprar um Guitar Martin 00015M. Esse my SONHO a grande maravilha é que nós seres humanos podemos acreditar yes yes yes.
I just subscribed you sound amazing, I am looking at this Streetmaster 000-15 and the new Streetmaster 000-16 have you looked into the new 000-16 Adirondack spruce top Martin
Thank you Sarah, I appreciate it. I mainly use 12’s either the Martin MA540T or Martin Retros. Retros sound so good on a mahogany Martin guitar, and they are very reasonably priced.
It’s a tie between the two, it comes down to what esthetics you like the most. They are so close spec-wise. StreetMaster uses katalox for fretboard and bridge, and 000-15 uses rosewood. That’s about it. I prefer the 12 fret 000-15SM of all Martin mahogany guitars I’ve tried.
Chris, I bought the 000-15m in large part because of the work you've done here. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I've spent some time learning these parts youve composed and they're living on here in NC with me! What capo are you using here? The ones I have aren't fitting the neck profile of the Martin all that well. Take care!
I’m glad your enjoy my song and of course your new guitar! It’s a stunner. I use a Paige capo. They are great for keeping your guitar in tune when tightening it. Take care as well brother
Thank you! I love the 00 but the 000 is more versatile, and you’ll get a slightly fuller sound, so if it’s gonna be your only western, that’d be the one I’d recommend you getting. Video coming soon :-)
Thanks man! The only differences I’m aware of is that the StreetMaster has katalox fretboard and bridge instead of rosewood on the standard 000-15. Other than that they are identical except for the distressing.
Thank you very much Bill No preference in particular. I enjoy both materials equally. They both represent great flavors for different styles. I would give a slight edge to spruce for being perhaps a bit more versatile. But the Martin 000-15’s are incredibly instruments.
@@ChrisEffort Have you played the 15 series dreadnaughts? I am going to get a 15 series instrument. I play lefty and only fingerstyle. There are several lefty Streetmaster lefty instruments available, but they are either a D or DSS models. Would these models work as well as the 000-15 in a fingerstyle application? There is one 000-15M out there but not the Streetmaster and I prefer that finish without the pickguard if possible. I can wait if you think thew 000-15 is the way to go. Thanks, Bill
That is very kind of you, thank you. It’s fairly simple - I may have stated the signal chain in the description, I’m not sure, so if not let me know :-)
Chis great video as usual. I would like that I know how you we ould compare/describe the differences between the 000-15 and the 000-15 streetmastet? I feel that although they are the same guitar, they sound different?
Thanks! There is a difference, but it’s slight. Even two 000-15’s can sound different. I know that Martin has changed what kind of mahogany type wood they have used over the years. They’ve used Honduran mahogany, Sipo, sapele and other variants too, I believe. But I think the biggest difference is age, this particular StreetMaster is about 5 years older than the 00015 I had, and the StreetMaster sounded much more dry and matured. Hope it makes sense :-)
Hi Zac It’s a tough question. I sold my 00-15m and bought a 000-15m and I haven’t regretted that at all. The 000-15 is a bit less money than the StreetMaster and it comes with a hard case - although the gig bag that comes with the StreetMaster looks great. A few years back they came in a thin padded flappy really bad one. You’ll get better balance with the 000 shape - but it all comes down to esthetics taking the 00-15 out of the equation. Hope that was somewhat helpful. Take care
Thank you very much. The strings are the lifespan 2.0 12s - but they are not brand new in this video. They sound great for a pretty long time. I do love the Retro strings as well.
I was just about to ask the same thing.. I've always put EXP15'S on my Fender GA45SCE but now that I have a StreetMaster coming I am open to trying something new and good gracious your playing on that guitar sounds absolutely amazing my good man.. Was soooo close to buying a 2019 Taylor 322E but after stumbling across the StreetMaster and listening to it being played in a bunch of different styles on TH-cam I just had to have one..
I really appreciate that you liked it. I can highly recommend this guitar. But personally I’d get the 000-15 if you want to spend less money and also want a hardcase with it.
Finally , a killer demo of this guitar... I will buy this guitar and they should be paying you Sir.
Came here for the guitar, stayed for Chris’ mesmerizing playing

So so beautiful. I love your playing. What is your preference for strings on the Martin 00-15m/000-15m?
Thank you Sarah, I appreciate it. I mainly use 12’s either the Martin MA540T or Martin Retros. Retros sound so good on a mahogany Martin guitar, and they are very reasonably priced.
Ah my dream guitar here. Unfortunately my budget is probably closer to the Sigma/Ami/Ditson clones of this guitar at the moment.

Which do you prefer the mahogany 00015 or this Street master?

Thank you very much. The strings are the lifespan 2.0 12s - but they are not brand new in this video. They sound great for a pretty long time. I do love the Retro strings as well.
I was just about to ask the same thing.. I've always put EXP15'S on my Fender GA45SCE but now that I have a StreetMaster coming I am open to trying something new and good gracious your playing on that guitar sounds absolutely amazing my good man.. Was soooo close to buying a 2019 Taylor 322E but after stumbling across the StreetMaster and listening to it being played in a bunch of different styles on TH-cam I just had to have one..
Hello superbe , what strings on it ?
Hi Jean, thank you. The strings are phosphor bronze 12’s 2.0 Life span.
@@ChrisEffort thank ! The same i use on my 00 15 :)
How different is the sound of this guitar in real life VS here with all the EQing and mixing?
Very close, if you read the description I explain it a bit.
What's the difference with the standard 000-15M?
this made me cry, would you recommend this guitar? i am very interested in buying it..
I really appreciate that you liked it. I can highly recommend this guitar. But personally I’d get the 000-15 if you want to spend less money and also want a hardcase with it.
@@ChrisEffort thank you!
Do you make your own music? Any recordings to either purchase or listen to on Spotify?
