A Yamaha F310. It may be kind of entry level, but it does sound nice (with new strings on).
But, cheap it may be, it holds its tuning amazingly.

I have a L’Arrivée 40R that was my 50th birthday present to myself 7 years ago. The investment keeps me honest about practicing!
it takes 12:59 seconds just to to watch he video. how can you claim ten minutes challenges. cordoba mini , i guess these are lessons for people who know chords an hammer on and pull offs. i need 25 minutes just to get through a few measures. not sure this is for me,
Feels like I’m sliding backwards. Yesterday was fine. Today the pull-offs are interrupting the flow, I keep follwung them with an up instead of a down…. and I’m hiting the wrongs strings. I’ll take a walk and try later on.
playing on my yamaha ac3r. agree this takes more than 10 minutes. i find these extremely difficult. signed up as a beginner in 2020 and had to quit because it was too hard for me, but have continued to play since. coming back cautiously hoping my experience helps me be able to process these lessons.
my guitar is a Carlo Robelli D20N, I need more than 10 minutes a day to keep up with this lesson.
This is pretty awesome this might be working for me
Playing on my Schecter Omen 6 FR (electric with no amp), my Taylor 714ce is across the room and everyone else is asleep. I’m interested in your teaching technique, always looking to learn things myself and to find good teachers to send friends to.
I’m playing a Martin 000-18.
I’m playing an Alvarez MFA70. I’ve just started your acoustic challenge, and I think it may work well for me.

Hi. Thanks for letting me in on this series of lessons. I play an entry level Hohner Western Series, Model MW400G. It was given to me as a birthday present 33 years ago. I’m sure it’s not a fancy guitar in any way, but I enjoy it and it seems OK to me – an entry level guitar player even after all this time!

Hey,
I’m playing a Martin D28. It belongs to my hubby.
Really enjoying how you break this down.
Im playing a Typo Valencia classical guitar.
I’m playing a Seagull SM6 Spruce.
I just picked up a guitar for the first time yesterday on your day 1 lesson. I’m playing a brand new Orangewood Oliver Live that I just bought to learn how to play guitar.
I’m using my Gretch G5422TG. It’s not plugged in so I won’t wake my wife or son up because they have to get up so early.
I’m trying to start playing again. I haven’t been able to play for years because I have NMO. It’s a bit like MS, I only have partial sight in my left eye and not total control of my legs (I use a walker) and my hands twitch a lot so what a normal person could learn in a couple days or a week may take me 2 weeks. I’m not able to practice every day because I’m twitching too bad or the chronic pain is too bad.
But I’m on a new drug I get intervenously at the hospital once a month. They used to treat cancer with it because it’s a chemotherapy drug, so I feel pretty crappy after it for a day then I’m back at things. So being able to play guitar again means a lot. I was self taught and friends showed me things but I want to be a more rounded player with an instructor to help back me up. So just to reiterate, I have very low vision and not great control due to my hands twitching.

I’m rocking a Jasmine SD35-U. If/when I treat myself to an upgrade, it will be a personal reward for progress.
Another good session – I’m liking the guidance and knowing there’s a path forward.
Thanks T
Thanks for the free lessons. Im playing a Godin metropolis. Solid wood dreadnought. My other, and first acoustic is an early 1990s Yamaha apx 6.

Really enjoyed learning this lick today! Thanks.
I am playing a Taylor mini Koa, which I got to take places so I can keep a more regular practice schedule. It has a nice sound and is quite a bit smaller than a full size acoustic.

Takamine G Series

Having fun with the song. Playing a Zager ZAD900CE
I play a Martin SC-13E
I alternate between a Taylor GS Mini and a 2013 Martin HD28.
I started with a Takamini G series but now I play a Taylor 324ce. Love the sound and feel of my Taylor
That’s a neat little lick. Can’t wait to learn the whole song. I’m playing a Fender Dreadnought, BTW.
First guitar was a Yamaha. My second guitar is what I guess would be called a “knock-off” D-45, which I built from a kit almost 40 years ago (essentially a Martin “factory second”). For flat-picking (and for this 5-day challenge), I’m using a Zager 900CE. I also have a nylon-string classical guitar, a Cordoba C5-CE, probably my favorite, for its beautiful tone.
All that said, you’d think this 5-day challenge would be a breeze, but I’m struggling a bit, because I’ve only come to flat-picking recently and all the “down up down down up [etc]” patterns are COMPLETELY counterintuitive for me. I want to play the next string, rather than pass over it and come back to pick it.
I started with a cheapo Fender I bought just because it was a cool red color. It hurt to play but I suffered through. When I decided I was good enough to deserve a nicer guitar I got a Breedlove. Love this guitar. My only problem is I travel a lot and have a POS travel guitar that I don’t care what happens to it so I spend a lot of practice time suffering through yet again! Can’t wait to try these challenges again when I get home to the Breedlove.
I enjoyed day one and two but never received day three lesson?
cab i finger pick this or should i stick with the pick
I have a martin x series
i play a fender cd140 for an acoustic I like it it has good action and a real clean sound for electric I have a Steve Vai Ibanez jem it’s a real nice guitar really like playing it
I am playing a Seagull S6 Original. All Seagull guitars are made in Canada from start to finish. They are made
” in the small village of LaPatrie in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, where for more than a quarter century the crafting of Seagull guitars has been a true passion for the many devoted guitar makers who call LaPatrie home. Today, LaPatrie has a population of about 475 and about half of these people are guitar builders. These folks take a great deal of pride in the guitars they build.”
Yamaha APX600, Squier Strat (gifted to me), Ovation Celebrity (from the 1980s). It is time to learn to play.
I have three guitars:
Kimbara classical nylon strung I bought in 1977
Camps 5S Flamenco nylon strung bought in 2017
Ibanez AEG8E steel strung acoustic electric that my daughter got me in 2022 …needs setting up but I know a guy who’ll do that
