Playing with the family Yamaha FG-200. It was my Father-in-Law’s and when he passed went to my Step-son who has loaned it to me. I like it.
I have several, but the only acoustic I have is the one I’m using. Guild D4-NT HR – believe its 95-96 model year
For anyone getting frustrated out there, it’s okay. When I started for the first time almost 30 years ago (where does the time go), I thought my fingers were too small to do chords and jumped ship. I played bass for a while but kept returning to the guitar. There are certain things I can’t do with my relatively smaller hands, BUT there are ways I adjust.
I tend to want to run a marathon before I can crawl and get disappointed when I can’t do something. A support system is amazing in times like these, so please don’t get discouraged. Adjust the video’s speed and remember, the goal isn’t to be perfect. Breaking it down slowly is also a great tool.
I don’t know you, but I’m rooting for you!
I’m playing a Fender Squier Standard Series Stratocaster HHS.
Yamaha FG830
Yesterday went well but my ADD brain noped out around the 6 and a half minute mark. Might try it again when I have more time to pause the video every few notes.
I’m playing a Takamine EG5403S. I also play very sparingly a Squire Stratocaster. My attempts at electric haven’t been too successful which makes me focus mostly on the acoustic.
I’m playing a 10 year old Gibson that I bought 2nd hand. This exercise is quite a challenge for me. After watching the 12 minute video, It took me more than half an hour to capture the details of all the steps from day 2. It consisted of 4 measures times 8 counts ( 1&2&…4&) per measure x 4 details per step (finger, string, fret, action) which makes a total of 128 details to follow. It seems more than a little unrealistic to advertise this as a “10 minute” acoustic challenge when that would allow about 4.7 seconds to grasp each detail or, more charitably, less than 19 seconds per count. That’s my frustration showing, I did have a small win, when I went back and played yesterday’s challenge a little more smoothly today than yesterday.
Tony I Play both a Carbon Acoustic (CA) and a Larrivee.
I have two guitars. The first is a Stadium Stratocaster (Fender knock off). The second is my Alvarez Ac65Hce.
I have a Zager zad50ce and an Ibanez.
yamaha fg-400a
Well, I learned tab and played thru it even tho I didn’t understand at first. And I’m slow.
Lost. I need to go back to Monday.
Larrivee D-03
I’m playing a 1974 Yamaha FG160. I also have a 1952 Silvertone electric acoustic all original that sounds amazing! Thanks so much for this challenge. I’m 71 YO and just started self-teaching myself about 2 years ago. I really like this lick.
Yamaha FG730S and Fender Telecaster
Yahama F325D
Currently playing a Taylor 114CE Acoustic/Electric and an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Back…
Playing a Washburn WCG-25SCE or a Seagull S6 Original Slim GT A/E
I’ve got an entry-level Fender acoustic that I’m using for this challenge. I’d love to get an Ovation but I’m a lefty so it’s the long game for me. I also have a pretty sweet MIM Fender Strat.
I’m playing a Taylor 110ce
I’m playing a Taylor mini
My guitar is a Martin Shenandoah that I bought secondhand in 1993. I’m having trouble following the finger work on the play even at .5 and the tab music doesn’t read like the music I was trained to read, compared to what you are playing. Tab music wasn’t an option when I was taking lessons. Very challenging today and taking more than 10 mins to get the hang of.
