I’m play ing ( if you call it that ) a Taylor 812ce
Took some lessons as a youngster and occasionally dabbled but could never really play anything. Trying again in retirement at age 71. Playing a Eastman E3OME, ovangkol & spruce, bought at The Acoustic Shoppe, Springfield MO. I could muddle through the individual measures after a few tries, but not put it all together. Wins were, I showed up and replayed yesterday’s lesson better on the first pass than my last attempt yesterday. Progress!
Gibson SJ 200
Hey Tony, I play a mid 80s BC Rich I purchased new when I was 16. I love it and I recently had it professionally set up. Now it plays and sounds even better. I also play a Taylor academy series acoustic. I couldn’t tell you which is my favourite.
I play a Yamaha FG700s
2012 Fender Stratocaster USA
Good morning Tony. I first picked up the guitar when I was18 and now I’m 72. I played and jammed with friends for a few years and then somewhere along the way life got in the way. A wife, 4 kids and everything that goes along with raising a family. So, my guitar sat in the closet and before I realized, 40 years had gone by. I tried to pick it up again, but I just couldn’t get it. So, it went back into the closet. I’ve dabbled and I finally decided that this was the year that I learned to play again. My wife surprised me with a new Washburn for Christmas and I love it. Great sound and it’s easy to play. Thanks for your inspiration. Jz

I’m playing a 1951 Gibson ES-225 T my dad bought for me from a musician in 1965 when I was 15 years old.
I took it with me when I went to Vietnam and tried to play along with my buddies at night on board USS Constellation.
Lot’s of history but not much great music coming from me. It’s in fantastic condition.
I am playing a Taylor 414 ce. I’ve owned it for several years.
Orangewood Oliver Retro. Arrive yesterday.
Today’s s positive: I tuned the gutter again and was able to tie a few of these notes together to make something that sounded similar to Tony’s lesson. Ha

Ibanez AZES40
Seagull S6
I am playing a 20 year old Larrivee. I believe the model is OM-1, but not sure as there is no model identifier inside. It is a smaller body – like a folk style acoustic. I got it from the factory when they were here in Vancouver Canada. It was a ‘factory second’ as it has the wrong rosette for the model. I prefer to say that it is a ‘one-off custom’! Plays and sounds great – the guitar is definitely not the limiting factor!
I am playing a Santa Cruz OM/PW
Playing an Epiphone Masterbilt DR500mce. Love it!
Playing a Taylor X-1 not sure what year. When I get done building my Stewmac $99 dollar Strat type solid body guitar I am going to get the buzz out of the bridge and the buzzing around the 12th to 15 frets.
Any suggestions for left hand muscle fatigue? I spent to much time playing G major, minor and Em scales up to 2nd position last night. Then I was having so much fun I decided to do C and Am up to 2nd position. Really hard to use the pinky tonight. I didn’t notice the fatigue until playing tonight.
I’m not playing an acoustic guitar, I’m playing my Deadbolt by Phred Instruments modeled after Jerry Garcia’s Lighting Bolt guitar made by Doug Irwin,

Taylor Big Baby…working my way back up to something a bit sweeter. My former love was a solid walnut 1978 Gibson “The Paul”. Wish I still had that gem!!!
Hi Tony
The website seemed slow today. Probably with so many people accessing it. Felt like I had a small win today. Got the whole lick under my fingers and played slowly without fluffing! I’m taking that to the bank.
I’m playing a Yamaha AC5R, solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides with a mahogany neck. Thank you for such and encouraging day two.
I have a YAMAHA FS820. My wife got me when I retired in March of 2022. I’m getting better I work at every day.
It would help to have the tabular, I am having a hard time seeing what notes are played
Hi Tony. I have a Martin 000-15 Auditorium I bought used in 2006.
Epiphone, Hummingbird
Hi Tony I have a Esteban the vintage
I have a Yamaha FS800 that I bought a couple of months ago.
Good morning Tony, I’m playing an Epiphone DR-100. Very inexpensive, but a good sounding guitar.
Hi – I have a Denver cutaway acoustic (model DEN-GAV-MH) that my guitar playing friend set up & gave me. He did a fair bit of work on it and it plays really well 🙂
Thanks for todays lesson.
I am a new beginner and I am playing an Alverez RC26.
Neva here…I ‘set out runnin’ but I’ took my time… beginning with a used Kent in the 70’s and in the 80’s an Epiphone. Meanwhile my partner had a lovely Guild I would pick up a bit. The Guild was stolen and he bought a Godin 5th Avenue which I too played occasionally. We both moved on, hubby to banjo and me to mandolin. Recently on a whim I tried out a Martin LX1, was impressed with it’s sound for the smaller body and was very pleased with it’s feel. One of those impromptu whims. So I am back to 6 strings with more than a Touch of Grey.
I bought it then and there and here I am giving guitar another go. Started out running but I took my time.
I play a Taylor 114ce. I bought it last year after having been solely an electrc bass player in gigging blues and rock bands.
My Indie Tribal that I’ve had since 2003. I’m enjoying having some structure to my guitar practice which has been seriously lacking for some time.
I have dabbled since high school but would like to be better. My wife bought me a Taylor 615 for our 5th wedding anniversary in 1991 and it is a great guitar! We have now been married 38 years. Enjoying day 2 so far and looking forward to getting more use out of it.
