Another inspiring improv Charlie! I really like listening to what you come up with.

I agree with everyone here. That said, I find when I struggle with an exercise I often try it again the next day and have better success. I don’t do that with every lesson and it will depend on the time I have. Mostly I move on like everyone has said. Another thing I do is incorporate some of the day one exercises into my daily routine. I have found it has really helped my finger strength and hitting the correct strings when using a pick.

I know nothing about music so yes it does!

That’s interesting Mike. I alway heard that lighter strings would effect the base. Meaning it won’t sound as low. I have a small body guitar so the base really does not sound as strong or as low as I would like. When I was picking out my guitar I was deciding between the 00-28 and the 000-28. I liked some things about the 00 better and was willing to give up some volume. I also have never had the opportunity to play with other people so it’s fine with me. When I need to change my strings I’m going to try the extra light ones. The ideal of being able to play different tunings without worrying about damaging my guitar is a plus. I figured changing strings is no big deal. If I don’t like it, I can always change it back to what I’m using now. Thanks for your input.

Thanks Jeff. I was wondering because I already have light strings. I was hoping Martin would have responded with a bit more info but at least they did respond. I’m using a capo right now with open D but I might try extra light string. Phil also suggested them as well. I’m practicing different songs so I’m always changing the tuning anyway, but it would be nice to leave the guitar in that tuning once in a while. Now I’m curious to see what the extra light strings sound and play like.

Ok, so I sent an email to Martin customer service asking if open E tuning could put too much stress on the guitar neck and damage the guitar. The following is their reply: It can if you tune it to open E and leave it that way. Tuning it to play and then tuning it back down when you are done is much safer.
-
Yes, I have been tuning down to open D with capo 2nd fret. I just wanted to play without the capo.

Open E tuning is a tuning for guitar: low to high, E-B-E-G♯-B-E. Compared to standard tuning, two strings are two semitones higher and one string is one semitone higher.

Absolutely

Thanks for your thoughts Phil. Contacting Martin Customer service is a good idea. I do want to be carful.
