Today’s episode is for those who are passionate about resonator guitars—those distinctive instruments that have captivated artists and audiences alike with their uniquely soulful, metallic timbre. If you’ve ever been captivated by that robust and twangy sound, you’ll love this video as we delve into the works of 18 remarkable resonator guitarists who are bound to inspire you.

They produce a sound that’s both powerful and vibrant, exuding a sense of nostalgia and a certain rawness that’s hard to replicate.

As we journey through this list, we’ll dive into what makes each guitarist unique and how they utilize the resonator guitar to bring their music to life. Whether you’re an experienced guitarist looking for some new inspiration, or a beginner interested in trying out the resonator guitar, this video is for you!
