    Proffering my opinion as well…..

    The TAC resourse is an amazing tool that I have been utilizing as my skill and foundation building daily practice.

    For supplimentary song specific lessons, I really like the site “guitar tricks”(GT)

    Personally I prefer Tony’s method of instruction and learn well from what resources that TAC has created. Using the skills developed in TAC I am much more capable of utilizing the resources on GT for so many additional songs. Why not use more than one resource in combination?

    No simple answers for strings other than; play what you like, what is comfortable, and if you can get good quality… invest in yourself.

    Personally, because i switch a lot between the electric and acoustic, i prefer relatively light strings on my acoustic guitars. My current favorite are the “gypsy jazz” strings. D’Addario EJ83L .010-.044 (light strings)

    Even on a full sized dreadnot there is very subtle if any volume loss. The benifit is i don’t feel like i’ve been trying to bend metal bars with my fingertips, and is a much more enjoyable playing experience for me.

    That said, experiment and see what works best for you. I really don’t think the music popo will arrest you for trying new things. As long as you dont damage your guitar or you, new and wonderful music and noises are made by not necessarily doing what everyone else is doing or has done.

    Good luck, and please let everone know what you pick and are playing 🙂

    Anyone have any thoughts on your favorite strings (brand, gague, coatings, etc.) and why?
