  1. Fender 235E Concert Moonlight. Also have a Fender Newporter. “Challenge” is the exact perfect word. Hanging in there.

  2. My guitars:
    Gretch Jim Dandy solid top concert
    Fender cut away dreadnaught
    Simon and Patrick cut away dreadnaught
    I use the Gretch to practice for size also have small fingers. I find it easier to learn there and once I learn I have the muscle memory and it translates nicely to my larger guitars. win win

  3. Yamaha 500X is my go to practice guitar. Sweet little take anywhere guitar, great value. When I want to show off, I use my James Malejczuk custom dreadnaught – spalted maple, spruce top, mahogany neck. LR Baggs Anthem pickup. Puts any big name to shame.

  4. Hi Tony, I’m playing a Fender California Debut Redondo CE, but later in the evening I switch to a Crafter Cruiser with headphones plugged in, so my family get a little peace lol!

  5. Martin Road Series Special All-Solid Grand Performance
    Taylor GS-Mini Koa-E
    Taylor GS-Mini Sunset Blvd
    Taylor 210ce

  7. Lost me on day 2. I’d love to learn from you but it’s over my head. I know several chords and can get through songs but I don’t know the fretboard and you’re going too fast. Speaking of- I’m on an iPad, I don’t have a computer, and the Learn and Play buttons don’t appear as you’re describing. Also, the tab button doesn’t show tablature, it only shows subtitles options ( like closed caption etc). I don’t read tab but was hoping to learn it. Is this program not set up for iPads? Will I be able to see the 5 free lessons even after the 5 days are over? I can’t do it in 5 days. Thanks for any help you may provide.

  8. Terada C-310 circa 1981 although google says it must be a TC-310. It replaced a South American guitar I got in Corvallis Oregon shop when I was in college in about 1974. An airline baggage system crushed the body and settled with me for about $150, about double what I paid for the South American guitar. It sounded similar and is a good guitar but it never matched the resonance of my oldguitar.

  9. Sorry need to add that due to things happening at home my time is wacko! Like today for example still going back to previous days not sure if that’s good?
    Also I believe Tony is an excellent teacher! Easy voice to follow!! I tried to number the strings to help me not sure I should’ve done that!!?? So I will not give up always wanted to learn!! Beginner level learning the lingo and little slow!! Thanks for all u do Tony great site!!

  10. Hello I’m a day behind. I’m playing a Gretsch 2210 streamliner and enjoying the lessons so far. I go to a guitar group in a community centre and we play songs, I’m a slow learner and I feel a bit stuck so I thought I’d try something different, thanks

  11. I came into this with minimal guitar skills. Played scale notes and chords on the first 3 frets. Day 1 I am expected to know hammer? Day 2 finger pluck a note from a fret? Do a slide? The sales pitch for this course said it was designed for anyone, even a novice. Very misleading.

  12. I’ve been playing an early 1990 Takamine left hand dreadnaught something or other but I just picked up a Taylor 112 ce lh because it feels better for my smaller hands.

  13. I’m playing a new guitar as of a couple days ago. My first really nice acoustic – a Martin O’ahu HG28. Love love love

  14. I would like to slow the lesson down but can’t find the x in the corner you refer to. Ooops. Just found it. It’s under the gear symbol.

  15. I’m Trying out these exercises on two different guitars. One is an Epiphone DR-90 and the other is a Classical YUVAL C-013 that I believe was made in Israel.

  16. I play a Adams guitar. I made it (yes Im a luthier). It has spruce top, figured maple sides, back and neck. Maple is dyed a rich reddish brown that really shows off the figure.

  17. I feel kinda bad- I’m just catching up. Life.

    Fun exercise. I need more licks in my world.

    I have a Collings OM1C in my lap. It’s a long way from the mid-50s Stella Sundale started on over forty years ago…

  18. I’m 71 and this is my first guitar lesson. I tell my friends when they ask about the guitar… I don’t play guitar, I just play with it. Anyway, I am playing with a Gretsch G9520.
