A comparison between a rosewood and mahogany.
A Collings vs a Martin.
This is not a scientific video, purely made for fun and getting an idea of the fact that there are lots of differences between RW and Hog.

And above all, enjoy playing :)

Man, there are a lot of guitar videos out there. Yours are by far some of the most creative. And useful. Thank you for the time you put in. So enjoyable to watch.

Fun comparison and one is not better than the other. Each wood and guitar will present different characteristics which may or may not appeal to you. We are as different as the guitars. The quality of the tone woods also makes an incredible difference. Most guitars today are not made from old growth trees. My Takamine TF740FS has a spectacular mahogany body with a red cedar top. The mid tones shimmer, there are bells and overtones, and if you didn't see it being played, good luck in figuring out the woods it is made from. Find the guitar that is pleasing to your heart, not your mind. The heart will win in the end.

Watched this 8 years too late but excellent video. Not too much intro explaining, great comparison, and beautifully articulate playing. What’s not to like?

[SBanas]

I came here to try to hear the difference, but ended up just listening to Your playing. This only proves that player is way more important than the instrument he plays.

[hapshan]

Impossible to decide. They both sound better

[davidedwards]

You're so talented, man! As a guitarist who loves playing acoustic and electric and looping AS WELL as someone who does media and design for his job, I'm super impressed with how skilled you are in multiple areas! I subscribed a minute in to the first video I saw. Keep them coming!!

Im a guitar player myself and have been playing a while, I used to have a rosewood and it sounded amazing! I recently got a Mahogany and think it feels much better and sounds better too! Its all a personal thing really! Rosewood is still very good!

I recently tried two Seagull Maritime SWS (Solid Wood Series) with spruce top and one with mahogany back and sides and another with rosewood back and sides. I loved the rosewood.

[Shaharazad]

Both sound gorgeous. If I had to draw a line between the two, I would say that Rosewood might be better at ringing chords and open strings, while Mahogany is better suited for articulate, individual notes.

[Ryan_Austin]

The mahogany sounds natural, deep and beautiful, but I also love the bright, soft and ringing sound of the rosewood

You are such a talent! Thank you for sharing it with us, along with your ever present smiling face and eyes.

[dougmatlock]

[zachyweezer]

i know this is an old video, but just wanted to comment on the phenomenal playing. your first song was absolutely beautiful.

[janem]

to be honest i don't even really care about the comparison, i'm just here to listen to the guitar playing

[TheMegaPhilko]

The best/coolest Guitar-Teacher and Inspiration for me besides my role models! You helped me improve my playing-style, appreciate the Instrument again (after a long peroid of "guitar depression") and you helped me deciding for a new acoustic. In fact, this video is kind of responsible for my Martin 000-16! I wish you all the best & good health!

Doing proper justice to Layne and attempting ANY cover is a daring thing to do and you did not let him down! RIP Layne. It seems like you are fairly young and if you keep doing what you’re doing, I would be very interested to see how far you’ve progressed. I’m not in any way trying to say you’re not incredibly talented already because you absolutely are. But I see and hear something from you that you are going to become a phenomenal musician in a little bit of time and I’m subbing rn to follow you! Great fking cover my friend, you have a great and unique voice that’s going to make you stand out. More AiC and mad season covers please! Lol. Keep ripping. Cheers 🤘

[seanrussell]

Day and Age was the perfect example song! Thank you for the vid. Very informative

[nickchurchill]

Please upload a full version of the "Autumn Leaves" !! I love how you played it!

[arumrunner]

Super playing Paul. I take it even further by using a J-15 (All mahogany) and a '92 Taylor 610 (Maple). Both so good in their own ways.

[lorenvguitar]

Genuinely nice playing. They both sound great offering different tones.
