Right now I’m playing a Martin Backpacker because I’m on a trip, at home I have a Yamaha FG-800 and a 1990s Squire Strat that I’m borrowing from my son.
I’ve been playing since young but,fell off for about 15 years because of 2 torn rotator cuff about 6 years apart.I own quite a few guitars but,my favs to play are an epiphone goth set up by a pro luthier and my fender classical.Just had the classical set up because I broke a tuner.

I’m playing a Yamaha classical guitar. I’m also finger picking not using a pic. I have an acoustic but it feels too big for me and my fingers hurt when I play it. :/
1970 tokai cates eye ce 300
Hi Tony. I am currently playing a Cordoba Mini II MH. It has a wide neck like a classical guitar ,which is what I started on, many years ago.
Playing on a Taylor 314ce. It’s awesome!
Tony, my acoustic guitar is an Ibanez exotic wood series (6 string) , I bought the guitar in 2008, and I have a Fender Strat 57 vintage series I bought in 1984. I may need to restring the acoustic again and have the neck checked because I get a harmonic ring out of it whether I use a capo or not, and it doesn’t matter if I play notes or chords.
My guitar is a Taylor 222ce Koa bought a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it!
Step up from my Yamaha APX600 which got me going. Loved that at the time as well.
Spanish solid top acoustic I’ve had 30 years
Vintage Carlos 228 Classical Acoustic Guitar. It is a cheap guitar but holds its tune and one of my favorite to play.
Fender Stratocaster, not exactly acoustic, but I can hear it without plugging in!
Here’ my TMI response of the day: I’m playing a Martin HD-28 Centennial (2016) with the K&K Pure Mini Pickup and James May Engineering Ultra Tonic V3. The guitar was set up by Robert Stubblebine Luthier in Somerville Massachusetts. I feel like I’m in heaven when I play this instrument.
playing a Sunlite. still getting my fingertips in shape.
Just starting! Have had a guitar for twenty years and decided it’s time! Enjoying this class so far played g on a strata and an acoustic American legacy
It took me a few times, but I was able to follow through both videos and keep up…with a huge smile on my face. I’m playing a Martin 000-15M, which I got for a great price used.
Really struggling with muting the G-string (giggity) when transitioning from D-string to G-string and back, but I’ll keep practicing.
I don’t know this song so it’s a bit of a challenge but I’ll get it. I’m playing a Washburn D10SCE that I inherited from my son.
I’m playing a 2001 Taylor 710CE but I wish I was playing that Thompson. I live just down the road from Sisters Oregon in Bend.
Jasmine, once I had the action lowered it became more playable for me. Had a Gibson G45 but didn’t feel worthy so I gave it to my son 🙂
I’m playing a Taylor 214ce in limited black limba! This is the nicest guitar I’ve ever had. I’ve been playing off and on for longer than I’d like to say.
I’m playing a parlour kit from Solo Music Gear that I built. It’s one of my guinea pig kits that I use for learning to do setups and repair. I started pursuing lutherie after becoming obsessed with guitars but not making much progress learning to play. So, here I am trying to start learning again with your course.
I’m playing, at least trying to play, a Glarry GST. Yesterday’s lesson took me a good hour to keep going over it, still not 100% correct, but I suppose I’ve got to reprogram my fingers and brain to each other.
I’m playing a PRS S2 Special semi-hollow electric. I’m not an acoustic guitar player, but your teaching method is supported by a book I read: Learn Faster, Perform Better – A musician’s guide to the neuroscience of practicing by Molly Gebrian. You seem to be the only one teaching a method supported by the book, so I thought I’d give you a try,
I have a dreadnaught Guild D-50 that I bought when I was around 22 years old. It had a scratch on the face that brought the price down a bit. Now that I’m at the tender age of 72, this guitar has been my companion for 50 years. Turns out my guitar has patience without end, even when I don’t.
My guitar still has that scratch on its face…possibly we look more alike these days.
Playing a Guild D35 dreadnaught from the 70’s. This series is very helpful so far. I originally had a nylon string classical guitar with a neck like a 2×4. I thought I sounded like garbage whenever I strummed it with a pick but sounded OK when I fingerpicked it. Got very good at travis fingerpicking and pretty much played everything that way – but never learned how to use a pick. I’ll confess that the up down strokes of lesson 1 are a struggle for me but I appreciate laying a foundation on how to pick notes with a pick.
I am playing my bother’s old Gibson B-25. Neck feels a little small for my fingers but still sounds nice. BTW, I just had it refurbished…rehydrated, new bridge, and fret work
Taylor GSmini Bear Claw Spruce and Rose Wood
I’m playing a Zager ZAD50CE with African Mohagany back, sides, and top. I put 10’s on it with a non-wound G string. I have a set of String Joy 10.5s on order.
I’m playing a Martin Dreadnought Junior been strumming chords for ten years and when I see some one playing lead I just wished I could do that
I am playing an acoustical Jasmine by Takamine It holds it’s tune very well but the steel strings do cut into my fingertips until I get calloused enough. Had a hard time with lesson one but I am willing to keep trying. I played chords most of my life since the seventies, self taught from chord books, and had a difficult time progressing. Especially bar chords since my hands are small. I am 77 years old but still wish to continue developing my skill. I like folk and gospel music, not rock so much but tolerate it.
