An easier option. Seat for you, seat for the guitar, put the Mrs in as checked luggage. Problem solved. Guitar is safe AND you've got a free roadie at the other end. Yep. Win/win! Great informative video Marty.
Marty, I prefer the hard case. The few times I've flown I have carried my guitar to the gate and then they take and stow it with the luggage. I loosen my strings a bit. I've watched the handlers and they have so far seemed to appreciate that the instrument is somebody's baby.
This lesson is like balancing a checkbook. Most teachers never teach it and you may only need it after 18 years but you either learn early or the hard way
I brought my Taylor acoustic in a Mono case and have had some issues. The problem is many of the regional aircraft don’t have space in the overhead to fit a regular size guitar. So the only option is the closet (if they have space). I recently purchased a Journey OF660 carbon fiber which sounds great and can be taken apart to fit inside a suitcase the size of a roller board. It has been terrific.
If I'm the only person moving my guitar, I like gig bags. If it's other folks handling (slamming, dropping, and kicking!) my guitar, it travels in an Anvil flight case. A high-end flight case is both expensive and heavy but I've never had any problems when I've used them! Great video!
One thing - make sure you get a *good* hardshell or gigbag. If you wouldn't put other luggage on top of it, or trust the gigbag when it's being jostled, don't take it to the airport.
mono cases have very little protection if any weight is on them. someone puts a heavy duffel on top of guitar in overhead bin. someone doesn't see the neck of guitar in bin and tries to jam their suitcase in etc. Reunion blues Aero, Continental and some other brands offer better protection with the convenience of a gig bag.
A very practical set of advice. I am dealing with this problem right now. I am considering buying a guitalele or maybe a folding guitar. I mean traveling by plane :-) Like and greetings from Bogumil George, Poland.
First time I ever flew with a guitar, I bought a new hardshell (plastic) case and checked it on United. Of course, I get to my destination and the neck was snapped in two. I showed it to the United baggage claim supervisor, and his response was, "So?" Seriously. F*** United! Since then, I have always carried on in a gig bag. Only once was I lucky enough to have it put in the coat closet. Every other time they've made me put it in the overhead bin. I just make sure I keep an eye on it so some fool doesn't put their bag on top of it.
You are like a magician Marty, pulling endless things out. Lol. Good advice. I heard another good tip from Justin Sandercoe. He said wear the gig bag upside down, so it doesn't have a neck sticking up drawing attention to it. Happy Thanksgiving Marty!
Last month, i snuck two guitars on to the train with me... 😝 haha! Then meandered to the observation car for my strumming! Thank you awesome AMTRAK employees who all looked the other way!
Hey Marty! Absolutely love your channel!!! You should make a video on the spider capo. I want you to possibly demonstrate it and see how much more awesome it would be than having a regular capo
Thanks Marty! United broke my hubby's guitar last year, and we are scared to fly with it again. We will try to have it as carry on, as it is in a gig case.
Ps do another video about travelling with our guitars. More detail. Talking about buying a seat for our guitar? You can literally put a guitar next to you?? ON the seat? I heard some countries won't allow acoustic guitars made of certain types of woods. Talk about that. I'm curious. Never travelled with a musical instrument. Not a pro musician. But have thought about bringing a guitar on a trip.
Can you do an a acoustic lesson for "Dust on the bottle" by David Lee Murphy. I can't find a good step by step lesson on TH-cam. I really enjoy your step by step videos; and just started playing guitar myself. So needless to say your how to videos are gold to a beginner like me. I subscribed to your channel, and watch all your videos. Thanks Marty, keep up the good work.
Hey Marty, Happy Thanksgiving. Come on down to El Paso and jam! Nice weather and great food. 😁 Is that a Vox Valvetronic Hybrid modeling amp? Looks just like one I just bought used. If so, can you do a gear Thursday on using the amp models and effects? I know it would help some of us learn the ins and outs of them prior to experimenting. If not, thanks anyway for all you do. It is appreciated.
Hey what would be the best way to bring an Epiphone thunderbird on a plane? I have one that was passed onto me from my father when he died, I'm moving to Sweden and don't want to lose it
First & for most... great informed video about this as I have regular sized guitars. What I have is a traveler guitar by Traveler. What’s great about it is that it can qualify as a carry on & can be placed in the overhead compartment. Great guitars & reasonable price if you are considering... check them out Marty
my epi les paul gold top is priceless to me lol, if it got broken (knock on wood) you could give me the identical replacement n its not the same cant replicate history
Hi, has anyone had any experience bringing a guitar on a flight to Europe, with Delta Airlines? Delta’s website states that guitars are allowed as a free carryon item, so long as the item does not exceed 45 inches. If that is correct, will a passenger be allowed to travel with the guitar as a personal item, a small carry on luggage, as well as the large checked-in luggage, on the flight? Any feedback would be appreciated.
The real question is not what do you have in your bag, but what do you have under this hat ? hmmm must be pretty important if you need a back up one. what are you trying to hide Marty ?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’m very thankful to have you guys in my life ✌🏼
Marty Music right back at ya !
Marty, can you do a full tutorial on of Eric Clapton's White Christmas?
Why would you put down that pick?? It's gone forever now
An easier option. Seat for you, seat for the guitar, put the Mrs in as checked luggage. Problem solved. Guitar is safe AND you've got a free roadie at the other end. Yep. Win/win!
Great informative video Marty.
I wish my math teacher could teach lessons like this dude.
If he did that then maths would seem fUn 😃
Thanks Marty this unites two fears, fear of playing in front of people & fear of flying. :)
Oh ha! please teach Jet Airliner.
leavin' on a jet plane?
Marty, I prefer the hard case. The few times I've flown I have carried my guitar to the gate and then they take and stow it with the luggage. I loosen my strings a bit. I've watched the handlers and they have so far seemed to appreciate that the instrument is somebody's baby.
The moment when Marty takes the Heritage out of the case, brilliant
This lesson is like balancing a checkbook. Most teachers never teach it and you may only need it after 18 years but you either learn early or the hard way
Happy Thanksgiving Marty! Thanks for all the lessons this year!🎸

Loving the colour of your hat marty

I bring my uke if I am traveling by plan for casual play. Just way easier but also I didn't know the rules of guitar travel before this. Thx Marty!
Love your channels marty you are a great teacher
Do you have a picture of the duct tape strap?
Lol maybe you can do a diy strap with duct tape
You r the best man!!
Hey Marty! Hope you’re having a rocking thanksgiving!
Thanks for the ideas .
A very practical set of advice. I am dealing with this problem right now. I am considering buying a guitalele or maybe a folding guitar. I mean traveling by plane :-) Like and greetings from Bogumil George, Poland.
Marty how do you protect your guitar teacher hats when you travel? They are super important my guy

I always loosened the strings, wrapped the guitar and neck itself with clothes. Seemed to always do the trick while traveling.
Such a beautiful guitar
You are like a magician Marty, pulling endless things out. Lol. Good advice. I heard another good tip from Justin Sandercoe. He said wear the gig bag upside down, so it doesn't have a neck sticking up drawing attention to it. Happy Thanksgiving Marty!
Wow Marty, your camera has improved! This video was very helpful, thanks!
Last month, i snuck two guitars on to the train with me... 😝 haha! Then meandered to the observation car for my strumming! Thank you awesome AMTRAK employees who all looked the other way!
Happy Turkey Day to all the guitarists traveling today!!! Great tips as always Marty! Rock on!!!
I gate check my tele at the jetway, it travels fine in the fender hard case that it came with.
Hey Marty! Absolutely love your channel!!! You should make a video on the spider capo. I want you to possibly demonstrate it and see how much more awesome it would be than having a regular capo
how did you fit that second guitar 😮😮😮, you are a legend ♥️♥️♥️
Hey Marty, thanks for the guitar traveling tips
Thanks Marty! United broke my hubby's guitar last year, and we are scared to fly with it again. We will try to have it as carry on, as it is in a gig case.
What did you do?? Did you claimed any rights?
So those guitars like donner hush-x should be super easy? No checks and no issues fitting in the overhead ...
I needed video like this
Happy thanksgiving to all!
I was waiting for you to pull out the travel sack.
Hi I'm Bangladeshi...I love your Guitar lesson....

Yes I was looking for this
Marty , could you do a tutorial of Victoria by the kinks ? Cheers
Thanks Marty! Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Happy Thanksgiving great tips!
Good stuff!!
Nice advice, Marty! Also...what is that Vox you got there? Looks cool.
What if it's just to a friend's house or in a car? What would be the best option?
Are you allowed to bring your guitar gig bag plus a laptop bag? I'm a little worried about the possible damage of my fender strat.
Can you test a synth9 guitar pedal
Hey what would be the best way to bring an Epiphone thunderbird on a plane? I have one that was passed onto me from my father when he died, I'm moving to Sweden and don't want to lose it
Hi Marty, what's your take on Int'l flights? And there is an 8 lb. Max for carry on. Seems the ticket agent would ask you to weight in the guitar no?
Great video, I learned some new stuff! By the way, could you possibly do a lesson on '51st Anniversary', by Hendrix?
Can you make a review of the Jamstack?
First & for most... great informed video about this as I have regular sized guitars. What I have is a traveler guitar by Traveler. What’s great about it is that it can qualify as a carry on & can be placed in the overhead compartment. Great guitars & reasonable price if you are considering... check them out Marty
Damn, the plane I’m taking doesn’t allow gig bag brought with me, guess I’ll need a hard shell guitar case
Hey Marty, it’s been 3 years since this video was made. You still recommend Mono Vertigo for good acoustic (dreadnaught) or something else?
definetly gonna write these tips down
could probably fit a dozen picks in that hat band.
good job on directing my to this video with exposing th beatiful vox on the thumbnail😂😂😂
Can you do a tutorial on Eruption by Van Halen?
Of cource he cant
my epi les paul gold top is priceless to me lol, if it got broken (knock on wood) you could give me the identical replacement n its not the same cant replicate history
love your vids
Simple answer : put in a box and pray 10 hail Mary's
Rockin the beard bro! :D
What do you think about Steinberger Spirit guitars for traveling?
Would the same apply for a small guitar like a traveler
And what about your amp ??
Tutorial on “Landing in London” by Three Doors Down??
Can you please do some tutorials of Kyle lionhart guitar 🙏
Hi I love your videos so much your awesome
Could you do a lesson on Revolution by The Beatles? I'm not sure my neighbours would appreciate it, though. :)
You're the best
What about the amp? I'm really confused as I have my flight back to home in 3 days
Keep that beard Marty 💚
I don't recommend getting mano, I had it last week and it wasn't too fun
Whats the second guitar?...
Pls anybody tell me...
Get a Pinose travel guitar. Never had any probs around the world.
Great video🤣
Hey Marty, can you look into the song "hear my train a comin" by Jimi Hendrix please. Happy Thanksgiving.
United, United broke my taylor guitar
They broke my hubby's guitar too. We are never checking it in again.
What about unscrewing the neck of your electric guitar and just putting the two separate parts in your suitcase?
Do a diy-make your own duct tape strap video!!!!!

I was wondering that too as they always want you to stow your bags did you find out?
I fill the gig bag with clothes if I can not take it with me on the plane and put a lot of fragile stickers
Did Marty just knock on wood 😂
Can you do a tutorial on how to play “Me and your Mama” by Childish Gamino
martys guitar case is like a clown car its like never ending things he pulls out of that big pocket LOL shoes computer, guitar stand pedal board lol
