Ariel Posen plays Martins from Kurt Cobain, Johnny Cash & more | Martin Guitar: Perfect Harmony

For 192 years Martin has been making inspirational instruments for inspirational artists. In that time, Martin guitars have indelibly shaped the course of popular music, and those musicians have also helped shape the evolution of Martin guitar. In this film, we headed to Martin's Nazareth, Pennsylvania home to get up close and personal with five of these instruments – ones with deep personal connections to Hank Williams, Joan Baez, Kurt Cobain, Eric Clapton and John Mayer. We'll learn about the stories of these guitars from Martin's Mike Dickinson, and hear how these legendary guitars sound in the hands of virtuoso guitar player Ariel Posen.
