Poor Man's Martin - YAMAHA FG NIPPON GAKKI - Guitar Discoveries #3

#YamahaRedLabel #YamahaNipponGakki #guitardiscoveries
Robert Cassard explores the playability and impressive tone of Japanese-made Yamaha folk guitars of the late 60s and 70s. He explains how to evaluate the neck angle and find an impressive guitar on a low budget. Includes an excerpt from Majority of One, an original song written on the FG-151.

Since this video was made, Yamaha has reintroduced the full FG "red label" line as their new high-end series. Built in Japan with a high-end pickup system. More expensive than the originals but with lots of new features. And still about half the price of a comparable new Martin...

Hi, my name is Robert Cassard. I'm a lifelong guitar player, singer-songwriter, producer, and music fanatic. I create Guitar and Recording Discoveries videos with a simple goal: to make YOU a better, happier, more confident musician!

In 2018, after more than 40 years as a pro musician, I started sharing my experiences through easy-to-understand YouTube videos — giving you shortcuts to de-mystify playing, singing and recording.

My "day job" is as a video writer/producer/director. Often it's hard to balance my need to earn a living with my desire to share the pure joy of music through the YouTube videos I make for free.

Your ongoing support means the world to me and encourages me do more of what I love — sharing musical discoveries to help and inspire you! I invite you to become a "Guitar Discoverer” by signing up on Patreon so I can keep providing you the most value I can.   / robertcassard
