  1. I am almost 68 and have been playing for decades, but never licks. It’s fun to learn and I like your method. I have a Taylor 714 from the 90s but my brand new pride and joy is a Martin 0000 Grand Auditorium with sinker mahogany on neck, back and sides on Adirondack spruce on top.

  2. I’m playing a Guild D4-NT (maybe NI? hard to read). I’ve been playing for over 50 years, not professionally but in various garage bands through the years. I am enjoying seeing the philosophy and techniques you are showing. Plus, helps me add some new licks to my soloing. Have been very impressed so far.

  3. Still can’t do lesson 1. Just looking at this one I am overwhelmed.
    Finger tips hurt a lot because of no calluses.

  4. Samick Greg Bennett OM-5CE/N acoustic electric. It’s the same guitar I had when I first started learning. I’m hoping to get an electric guitar one day but don’t have my eye on a specific model or brand yet.

    1. Those Greg Bennett series are pretty nice especially the value for money.

      I have the D-2 dreadnought and very easy to play – I sometimes go back to it even though I have a Taylor 214ce as well.

  5. Hi, I’m 72, long time bass player here. Always just a strummer on guitar. My six-string acoustic is a Yamaha FS830. I also have a Fender Telecaster electric guitar.

  6. I’m 56, self taught starting at age 10. I’m rotating between a Taylor 410, a Taylor T5, and a Luna Henna series.

  7. Really enjoying the lessons! Been playing for over 40 years, and this is a technique and lick I have never tried before.
    My guitar is a Samick acoustic.

  8. Tony! Having a ton of fun learning your 5 day free trial; Friend of the Devil. I play several different guitars. Mostly inexpensive. Banged on a classical for decades. My favorite became a Recording King that someone gave me in need of repair. I fixed it and it became my ‘magical guitar’. I was doing things I had not done before. Now that my wife(on Bass) and I are gigging for money every now and then, I decided to upgrade to a very used, Gibson Songwriter Deluxe studio acoustic/electric I bought in Bozeman. It is LOUD! Great sound and action although, Gibson has a pretty ‘chunky’ neck. Thinking of finding something a little thinner. But six guitars might be enough! hehehe

  9. The two acoustics I play the most are a Yamaha NCX 700 classical guitar and a Yamaha CG172SF flamenco guitar (love the buzz). Not the greatest guitars of those types, but they play well and and sound decent.

  10. Thanks, Tony. I’m really enjoying the first 2 challenges. I am currently playing a 1969 Martin 00-18c. CLassical/nylon strings. This guitar was a recent gift from a dear friend. I’ll need a lot more work with TAC to earn the pleasure of playing this guitar!!
