Martin D28 (1969): Why I Love It

Here I play and talk -- lots -- about this iconic instrument, the King of American guitars.

For more about this instrument and the music it has inspired, check out my previous video, "The Deep Roots of a Song":

and to hear the whole song just by itself, "11 O'Clock Special":

The sound is out of this world Tony. It sent a shiver down my spine. What a lovely gift from a loving family member. So precious.

Wow! What a fantastic story!
And that D28 (and the Lowden too) sounds amazing!

This is a really wonderful and interesting video. You have a way of speaking that relaxes and attracts attention at the same time ☺️

Hi Tony. Fabulous playing . Fantastik story. I agree, every guitar has a soul. my first Martin was an IR 1969, brand new.

I thoroughly enjoyed your video. You touched on all of the components of a guitar’s make up. You speak with the love and passion that only a guitar player would know and feel with these instruments. Thank you for your video.

I love how you communicate the experience of the guitar rather than the technical traits. The latter is important but never the whole story. I was born in 1969 and its always been on my mind to one day have a guitar from that year enter my life. I agree with you about what a guitar is to its current possessor. But I tend to use the word stewardship instead of caretaker. Bless you. Watching this vid was a special experience. And your hymn to the blues is so measured and natural at the same time. Lovely musical fragment indeed.
