Yamaha FG700S
Second day and I am loving it. I have an Ibanez acoustic electric.
Considering the one year deal but concerned about automatic renewal at the end…..
Hey Tony,
I’m enjoying your challenge, I play a Martin re-issue 1934 HD28 that I bought in 1980, it had to have a neck reset a couple years ago, and plays much better now. I also play a Takamine EF-360S that I bought in 1977. My wife and I visited the Thompson guitar factory back in October and was able to play a couple of their guitars, very nice.
I am playing a Larrivee D40E, which I have had for about 30 years! Still love it!
Playing a Simon & Patrick guitar in snowy Canada!
I watched the video and thought there is no way I am going to learn this today. It took me three 10 minute sessions and now I can do it about 3/4 speed.
It took a while to figure out where to comment 🙁 I play a Takamine guitar.
Taylor 712ce
One piece of advice to others. I found it easier to follow by printing off the music/TAB sheet for the lick. Doing so made it a little easier to follow Tony’s instructions.
hi tony im playing a vintage 1940s Kalamazoo guitar and an ibenez
I am playing a (cheap!) JN Guitars BES, sometimes referred to as a Bessie. In part that’s because it was cheap (around £250 3 years ago) but of more relevance, I wouldn’t (yet) do credit to a Taylor or a Faith
I play with a 2025 Yamaha AC5R
Martin HD-28
Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE
Yamaha FG-160 that I got when I was 12, my first guitar.

I use a Mitchell acoustic guitar I bought used for 75. It was in great condition
Hi Tony,
I am playing a Yamaha FG400A which I have had for a very long time and have not really played in the last 30 odd years. I’m doing better than I expected although ends of my fingers are a bit sore not being used to playing.

Seagull Maritime series mini-jumbo with cutaway and Landola jumbo
A lowden S-35c , hoping to be a good enough player to justify it one day!
Love my little Yamaha FG-75.
Ibanez PF54CE
A Sonicake travel guitar and a Fender Kingman.
Yamaha Pacifica 112V but also switching with Fender FA125CE, both pretty budget guitars and I do plan to upgrade as my skills improve. I want to restrict myself on a new purchase and earn it first with lots of practice.
Tanglewood
And
Taylor GS Mini in Mahogany
I’m currently exclusively playing my Cordoba GK Studio Negra nylon string acoustic. It’s easiest on my hands at the moment. My other main acoustic is a Washburn jumbo maple.
Fender Strat Ultra 2023 SSS
I’m playing a Guild M-20
Tony I have a YAMAHA C45M it feels like my hand is too small and fingers are too big
I have a travel guitar I got off Amazon. It’s an Enya. At home I have a Seagull accoustic.
Day2: I am playing an Art & Lutherie (made by Godin Canada), cutaway “Concert Hall” style. Cedar top
Ok, for Day 2 I’m playing my Huss & Dalton TD-R Custom Pilgrim. Day 1 was a Larrivee OM-40.
I’m playing a Seagull plus, cutaway cedar top natural finish
Yamaha F-335
I have a Yamaha LL6 acoustic. I had a hard time ‘mastering’ it, but I knew when I tried it out (without even knowing how to play!) that it was the one I wanted, and 3 years later, I just love it!
Im not able to navigate access well using my phone. Its too confusing as I don’t know the string names. I think you’ve lost me.
Hello there,
Playing on a Classic ESTEVE 6PS, yes nylon strings 🙂
Tanglewood Guitar Company model TL SFCE GBK Bought it about 10 years ago. Sat in my closet. Hard tuning it with the built in tuner.
I am playing on a Fener Starcaster electric guitar. The action is a little bit lighter than my Acoustic Guitar so it is a bit easier to play. I wish I would have found a teacher like Tony about 50 years ago. I have taken lessons from time to Time and I knew that this was the way I wanted to be taught. There is a lot going on now with the holidays so I am having some difficulty getting to the lessons but I will finish the 5 lessons and join up.
Hi Tony! I joined last week but couldn’t get down to playing. Started today and already progressing – so cool. I’m playing a Martin DX 1 Dreadnought with battery connection rolling around inside – need to get that fixed! Have had it since 2005 and playing very on and off since, but love playing. Will finish the 5-day Dead instruction then join up. Thanks Daniel
