    Great improv, as usual, @charlie_d
    I really like how you take advantage of the first postion in the ultra fast hammer-on run somewhere past the middle of the improv 👍

    Thank you, @Marisa , @fly , @bill_brown , @FloridaPatty , @dan d# , @Loraine @Jonathandavid and @asaspades for your kind words 😀

    I have been off the improvs lately, as Tony changed the improv sequence when moving to the new TAC layout – and started using improvs I had recently done.

    This one is new to me, and the next two are as well – yay!

    Very nice improv, @Jonathandavid
    I particularly liked the little music hall chord riff in the middle 🙂

    Nice one, Scoggers 👏
    Awesome melodic flow, and I like your feedback on your approach to improvs.
    I compared it the one you described back in February, and you have refined your technique 👍

    Congratz on your new guitar, @Daniel_Morin
    Let’s hope that Tony succeeds in getting a leftie for you, so you do not have to give this one to your son as well.

    Awesome happy song 👍
    And I spotted an acoustic bass 👍👍

    May 1, 2021 at 10:35 am in reply to: Acoustic guitar/classical guitar???

    Hi @campfire,
    Most has been said above, but here are my two bits.

    I had played on a single classical guitar for more than 25 years, until I started with acoustic (and electric) guitars about 10 years ago.

    Classical guitar
    More mellow sound.
    The strings are further apart, which is nice for my stubby fingers.
    Only 12 frets outside the guitar body, so playing on very high frets can be a problem.
    If you fingerpick, the nylon strings will be gentler on the nails of your picking hand.
    Nylon strings stretch, the more the thinner the string is – expect a week of tuning before a new set of strings has settled fully in.

    Acoustic guitar
    Brighter and louder sound.
    Strings are closer together, which means that some chords are easier, some are more difficult.
    Normally 14 frets outside the guitar body, maybe even with a cutaway, so access to the higher frets is easier.
    Sound better when flatpicked.
    Steel strings settle pretty quickly, typically within hours.

    You can definitely switch between a classical and an acoustic guitar.
    I do it all the time 😀

    Hi @Bill_Brown

    The name of the app is “Fretuoso”, and I use the free version.
    It looks like this in the AppStore (“Uddannelse” is Danish for “Education”):

    Nice guitar routine 👍

    I had to see which guitar you had selected for your picture, and I notice that you slyly have gotten your Tele in the background as well 😀
