  1. Hi Tony, My guitar is a Cort electro acoustic guitar with cut away. The sides and the bellied back are veneered with Birds Eye maple.

  2. Hi Tony been playing a gibson epiphone dreadnought I’ve had for along time ,now I just picked up a taylor 314ce an love it .

  3. Tony, thank you so much for this free sample! The bite sized building blocks are just frustrating enough to get pissed off…and then it clicks! A few minuets of fumbling around and I am playing note for note before I know it. This is such a great program and so much fun.
    BTW…I am playing a Mitchel MD100-S. It was a very affordable guitar, but I fell in love with the way it rings and sounds amazing (to me, anyways)
    Thank you again and I am looking forward to tomorrow!!!

  4. I’m playing a Yamaha FGX800C Acoustic-Electric for the challenge. I will soon be replacing the standard strings with a set of Ernie Ball 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings – .011-.052 Light. I also own and play a Yamaha Pacifica PAC012 electric guitar.

  5. I am playing a baby Taylor. All I know about the guitar is Eddie ate dynamite, good bye Eddie and what frets are. I am soooo overwhelmed! I spent an hour yesterday trying to follow and learn the lesson and 40 min today. Right now, I am happy I did NOT purchase this program for a year. I thought about it after watching the intro video. I decided to wait until after I return from my upcoming month long vacation. I think I am way over my head here. Maybe it will be better by Friday.

  6. I’m playing a Taylor 214ce-k that was my brother’s. He passed away last January, so I’m trying to learn well enough to do justice to the guitar.

  7. Playing the 5th guitar that I’ve built, a 16inch archtop. I’m better at woodworking than playing guitar 🙂

  8. I am playing a 1980 Hohner HG720 that I purchased new. in 1980….yeah I am old 70 but I have my eye on a Taylor 200ce-N. I have a Fender American Telecaster and a Les Paul studio as well. I joined your 30 day jump start challenge to hopefully go from guitar collector to guitar Player. I am really enjoying this so far.
    Thank You

  9. This is a mighty fine lesson you have going here. I’m a 68 year old who has been noodling along for years and find this very helpful. I’m playing on a Gretsch Roots Collection Acoustic.

  10. I bought a stadium st d42 in case Ivdidn’t follow through at least I didn’t spend much, then someone gave me a beautifu Astrea AS 820 cedar, I alternate and play both. They sound differet but both sound good. Got them both professionally set up.

  11. Washburn, WA90CET I just got. I have no ideal about anything but I’m trying that’s my first step.
    It’s coming slow really slow but I don’t give up easily. Staying positive

  12. 1960’s Framus Texan, could use a better set up, some of my notes don’t match yours exactly even though in tune with my snark. Having some trouble matching your cross picking as well , keep sliding in to sweep picking instead of up strokes. switching to a different one for tomorrow. This is a good building technique.

  13. I have a baby Taylor. I’m really struggling to follow along I can’t see your fingers well enough to do it and you are going way too fast. Is there a diagram of what you are doing? I’m not a complete beginner, but I just can’t follow along …

  14. I’m 71, returning to my Martin 000M Auditorium Mahogany that I bought in 2002. It has not been played regularly in at least 15 years. It’s a struggle, but I’m here. I also have a lovely yellow electric guitar that my children gave me for Christmas 2 years ago. I can play I shall Be Released on it. 🙂

  15. Played some electric guitar in high school. Getting back into it since I retired. For this im playing a 1993 Yamaha fg-411S or a Fesley LP electric.

  16. I am returning after 40 years downtime! Now 64! I have a gogeous Lindo electro acoystic in deep shade of striated purle. I’m growing into it! Its very shapely and i call it my purple lady!!! S’gorgeous!!!
