Hi, I’m Mark and I’ve been teaching and playing guitar professionally for 26 years now, and I’ve picked up a lot of insights along the way; things I wish I had known when I started out. That’s why I started this channel – to share this knowledge with you.
But this is more than just a place to learn guitar. It’s also place where you can hang out, relax, be yourself, get support, make friends and get inspired to have more fun with your guitar. So go ahead. Pick up your axe. Hit play. And be a better guitarist.

Got given a 59 year old L. Mozzani classical guitar a while back from my brother, was his fiancé’s Dad’s. It was collecting dust and developing neck warp in the spare room so imma clean it up real nice and put some life back in it 👌🏻
This is wrong. i am a proffessional musician and matte finished guitars should nevrr be rubbed with guitar polish. hell nah.
Great info mark, thanks

It’s important to oil the Nick
Absolutely amazing! Like a Rolling Stones or Dylan’s hit! Greetings from Spain!
Can I Clean my other guitars the same products you’re using?
Cant stop looking at your balls! Thanks 🤣
What do you do when you get dirt inside the sound hoe and then everytime you pluck the strings, it makes a slight vibrating sound? I tried shaking the guitar, one time i even took off the strings and tried using a hoover lol (it didn’t work) any advice?
I wouldnt start with lemon oil, you might want to scrub the fretboard with fine steel wool and then polish your frets. Then after wiping down use the lemon oil (wood conditioner).
I was amazed at Martin’s recommendation to use 3-in-1 oil on the fret board. No way! Mineral oils degrade wood!

Thanks for the tips Antonio Banderas!
with what oil he cleaned the fret board?
Can I use flaxseed oil?
*Instructions unclear, accidently heated my guitar on a pan for 7 minutes, the lemon oil gave a good burst of flavour, would recommend some rocket herbs for seasoning*
Not tje lemon oil, could any oil like coconut oil be use?
This was actually really helpful 🙏
I heard using lemon oil is bad for your fretboard? Is that wrong or…??
what’s with the parochial saddos bitching about the accent? Nice. Kind. Losers.
Be careful not to polish too often. It contains some microabrasives that can damage the varnish if overused.
Nice work
Why do you sound like kj appa
Which Martin model is that?
Is this applicable to mahogany guitar like takamine gd 11mcw
Uwu
Wow thats good
I haven’t lemon oil
What can i use instead of it?
Noice👍
This is an aggressively Kiwi accent
Your kidding right? Showing people it’s ok to clean from head stock then neck spooge then you don’t even flip or shake out the rag. So in other words your new at this ha! Learn a better technique mate your scratching the F out of instrument.
