Location: Hicksville, NY | Dave's thoughts about the issue about acoustic sounds and mind games does make sense. Depending on what I'm playing or trying to learn, certain songs do sound better with an Ovation, but not with the Ms. The same can also be said about certain songs sounding great with an M, but not with an O.
Sometimes, it also depends on the guitar model. Since I only have one Ovation, I dunno how certain guitars can sound, depending on the song.
Playing Neil Young songs with my Martins, for example, the HD-28 tends to sound better with his songs that require heavy rhythm strumming or flatpicking, with country/western elements in them (e.g. Comes A Time, Human Highway). With regards to his folk/mellow ballads that could be fingerpicked or strummed (e.g. Needle and the Damage Done, I Believe In You), and acoustic rock anthems with blues elements to it (e.g. Look Out for My Love, My My Hey Hey), the low end Martin tends to sound better (in my case, the DM).
Then again, as Dave mentioned, it's probably just my head playing with me. |
