Mint guitars are great but there is something about a older guitar showing its wear that grabs my attention, the sound is great on this one. Nice pick Mark.
Boooom , now thats what I call epic sound , it just booms and chimes , amazing how an 80 year old guitar can sound so amazing , it's certainly nothing fancy , I mean probably Brazilian rosewood neck and bridge but no binding , simple mahogany , beat to crap , it's beautiful , and that sound , so sweet. Thats 3 for 3 epic winners in 19' , thanks guys , long live GOTD
cant wait for my couple years old j-45 to look like this, there is something special about those broken in guitars, every crack has something to tell you, every piece of wear has something unique, just like this guitar - its previous owner had his own plaing style - closer to the neck picking and you can clearly see it, i love it
Love your ‘Flat Top’ Friday Mark, as I live in Melbourne Australia I get this on a Saturday morning. Always watch out for it. Also, loved your ‘Bloopers’ and ‘Outtakes’. P.S. wish I could bang out those tunes like you do! Cheers Jimmy Johnson (JJ). 👍🏻🎶
That was a damn beautiful rendition of country roads. I rarely sing along but just started without realizing it. Thanks to Me First I kinda remember the words..... Can't ever go wrong with Led Zeppelin either. Great episode!
1938, would be so cool to learn the history of this guitar, who had it over the years? Where was it played? It's 80 years old, imagine all that it saw in those years.
beautiful sounding instrument Mark.....thank you for playing Country Roads.....you can play John Denver any time as far as I'm concerned......cheers mate.
I just want to thank the guy who advised me on restringing this superb guitar. Can't find his post, but I said that I was disappointed with this guitar with D.'Addorio 80/20 12's phosphor bronze strings. He said that if I try Elixir 80/20 bronze 11's it would totally transform the sound of this instrument. Well, after trying them, I can say that it's true. The superb bass response is complemented by the the bright tone of the strings, and there is no need to use a thumb pick to bring out the low frequencies. My J35 is just the best now, and will only get better as it nears the 10 year peak for Sitka spruce tops. Thanks for the tip guy, wherever you are.
I absolutely love hammered flat tops! My favorite hammered flat top belongs to Monte Montgomery - that poor Alvarez is the king of vibe. I've touched it, I've smelled it...it's downright scary...like some medieval weapon that slayed many living things.
how could anyone dislike any of these videos. must be just a couple of random people passing through. who like kickin the dog as they walk by. for no reason i might add
Some of the plastic those tuner buttons are made of literally vaporizes (turns into gas) and dissipates away. Same reason why some pickguards shrink over time. Surprised the buttons on this guitar are still intact. Probably not for long, though!
NEW SHIRT DESIGN.. “”TICKLE IT WITH THE FINGERS; BANG ON IT WITH THE FLATPICK””... PS- HAPPY NEW YEAR MR.CARLOS GUITARLOS,90042. AND GET THE FUNNY GUY STALLONE BACK ON HERE. LIKE A ZIT, HE GROWS ON YA.... ML93455
Fingerpicking- country roads take me home, john denver

1938 ... damn, that was built right to still be working. Nice playing sir.

Always impressed with your guitar playing Mark!

Man I sure love the fire stripe pickguard on 35’s! This guitar sounds phenomenal as well!
I’ve never had a Gibson, never had a Martin either,but I live 6 miles from The Martin Factory and museum. 😉someday.. Nice playing my friend ✊🏼🎸
That Gibson has Massive Mojo! Thank you Mark
Had a bad day today - I really needed a Flat-top-Friday!
Nothing like a pre-war Gibson to turn your day around.
I hope today is much better for you. Take care:)
I can relate... listening to this Gibson sure does take your mind off of your problems....

This kinda got to me as country roads was the first song I ever sang and played at the same time, it was kinda a milestone for me in playing guitar
That’s a great sounding guitar

watch a lot of guitar videos... got to say I watch these more because of you and your camera manner, and the way you play guitar is just great.
Great picking. That was beautiful

Fire flattop Friday. Great job finger picking Mark! loved it.
I can dig it.
Episode 681 - 4th J-35, 3rd from '38, two natural, one sunburst. Very nice!
First time I ever would consider taking a Gibson instead of a Martin. Love everything about this guitar. Those high strings sound almost banjo-like.
Beautiful sounding guitar. Those round marks on the back look like plastic bubble wrap was used to store it.
Great sound!
As others have said, that Gibson sounds good!
Love the kid in the background saying "Dah Dah" at :42 - reminds me of my 17 month old daughter doing the same.
Way to go Mark. Nice job and choices on those songs
1938, would be so cool to learn the history of this guitar, who had it over the years? Where was it played? It's 80 years old, imagine all that it saw in those years.
Wonderful sound.
Sounds amazing...age and condition notwithstanding!
It's only my opinion but age and condition arenthe reason for such ansound
GREAT PLAYING MARK!
Your a beast Mark..! Great attack on both songs 🔥
The oxblood leather is nice, and the guitar is beat up because it was well favored
Awesome sounding, had to pipe through stereo Thanks !
Fantastic as always!!

I got to say it Mark beautiful job on both tunes but dude Country Roads was off the hook great job young man .
Great guitar of the day! One of my favourite days is always gonna be Flat Top Friday! However! Gotta do a Maton!

Glad you left all the noise in at the begining. Sounds kinda like a guitar shop. Or shoe store, but who cares? Love it.
job well done, Sold.
I remember when these first came out. Shpoing !!
A glass of scotch and Flattop Friday. Perfect. Thanks.
Almost heaven......
I love that Sound! The Fingerpickin reminds me of a Banjo =)
The sound jump right out👍🇺🇸

must be just a couple of random people passing through. who like kickin the dog as they walk by. for no reason i might add
RIP Pegi Young. Long may you run.
Whaaa? I hadn't heard.
Sounds good 👌
Mark. How about road testing some of Norman's Classical Guitars?
Damn that thing sounds good.
Dude you were wailing on that guitar big time, sounded awesome.
Happy Flat-Top Friday
everyone. This pre- WW2
beauty has more scars than
Evel Knievel!
Amazing 🎸
Sublime tone
"Sorry about the Thumpin' Thursday skip"
Nobody is hurt, Mark. Don't worry xoxox
Hey, I'm a bass player and I'm not hurt! Just keep the Thumpin' Thursdays for the "rare, iconic and weird."

this is such a rare guitar
My wife says she was hammered in all the right ways....love you D
Alan Scharrer
I’m glad she still thinks of me !
Just kidding 😝
@@sixty2jeff Thanks Jeff, you bastard
Heck yes
Love the sound of Gibson acoustics from the Banner Years and older....newer, nope, not so much, actually not at all.
it still sings nicely
What's with all the sucker marks on the back? What this on the Black Pearl?
the guitar was rescued from death grip of Davey Jones's tentacles ;)
Plastic bubble wrap, for a long time in storage probably.
@@markintexas9258 Or a large octopus. Lol.
That's the funny thing about lacquer I don't think it ever dries. LOL
Country Roads & Gallows Pole
The Oxblood Jacket!
Id like to find some repo tuners for my 44 LG-2. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Banging!!!
That Zeppelin's tune sounds fucking marvelous!
What is the round patterns on the back?
Plastic bubble wrap
Time to do some wet sanding.
a Gibson that sounds almost as good as a Martin...😇 Love it!
If that thing could talk, man.
I love those old guitars.
Each one has its own distinctive "personality"...
Where do you get those Jackets? Gimmie a link. I dig brown leather.
Gotta admit it. I miss you Mark.
🤘 Zeppelin 🤘 sweet 35
All eq's at noon, just a little bit of reverb?
Love the JOHN DENVER!!!! Geez I bet that beauty has zipper scratches all over the back now with Mark's up and down groovin on gallows pole!!!
that's the one i want
what happened to the 300k subscriber giveaway? mark
You can’t go wrong with a pre war Gibson!
Is anybody else thinking if that scene in Kingsman?
I like guitars
What's with the polka dots on the back?
Probably bubble wrap used for storage.
It was once owned by a guitar playing octopus. Lol.
Country Roads John Denver Gallows Pole Leadbelly
What's with the back of that guitar ? Did an octopus play it ? Nice guitar none the less .
plastic bubble wrap
Awesome picking Mark and awesome old fat top.
Hey Mark, play some America and eagles songs on laptop Friday for a change.
COUNTRY ROAAADS TAKE ME HOOOMEE, MOUNTAIN MOMMAAAA
Country roadsss
I've got a suggestion, I lou of Thumping Thursday, how about Thrashing Thursday? Metal guitars onece a week?
Hangman hold it a little while , i think i see my sister coming

J-45's are the best. Just my opinion
Sounds almost as good as a Martin!
So you're in the Martin camp. I like the shorter scale. I guess a shorter scale Martin would do.
It's not the scale for me as a player, it's the tone. Martin and Guild acoustics have it. I play an Alvarez most of the time.
The strings have more Flex on a shorter scale. The Martin scale in standard tuning seems too stiff for me. But to each his own.
I'm not a fancy player...
Can someone tell me where I can buy Mark's leather jacket ?
All saints is the brand
Hipsters R us
You can probably find a guy at Midnight Mission willing to just give you one.
