Compare five classic blues guitars from before world war 2.

If you’ve heard musicians and guitarists like Blind Blake, Son House, Maybelle Carter, Robert Johnson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Hank Williams, Elizabeth Cotten and Freddie Green then their instruments impart very particular sounds.

We’re looking into those styles and why the instruments give those artists their particular voice on guitar.

The beautiful vintage guitars are; 1899 Washburn (Lyon & Healy) Parlor / 1929 Gibson L-1 / 1934 National Style O / 2004 Martin 000-16 / 1937 Gibson L-50.

On this Washboard Resonators YouTube video we hope to share comparisons that help you understand blues guitar, swing guitar, ragtime guitar and a whole history of music 1899 – 1940.

Heck, it might even help you choose which guitar to buy that would suit your style best.

Thanks to Jeremy.
