Thank you @MikeGaurnier for giving me some different prospectives to consider when doing the Friday Chord Transitions Challenge. I’ve always considered these challenges to be about speed, thus just looking at different fingerings (other than the conventional) to make the transitions easy and quicker. I’ve also always enjoyed trying to figure out how to do them using all barre chords – which has been my desired end game for these challenges. I never really considered practicing them with a song in mind, or with other chords that I may find difficult to transition from or to. So thank you for opening my eyes to the other possibilities of purpose for the Friday Chord Transitions👍

Hi @Guitargeezer , in January this year, I went to my local music shop to look at a Gibson G-45 Studio (not the J-45). It looked great and had a solid spruce top with solid walnut back & sides. But when I played it, I was not impressed with the sound at all – granted, it wasn’t “set-up” yet, but I just wasn’t happy with the sound or feel – not happy enough to spend $1000 on it. I asked to see something else in that price range, and the sales person handed me a Martin 000-15m (not a 000-17). When I strummed it the first time (also not set-up yet), I knew I had to have that guitar (but $299 more than the Gibson). For me, the Martin 000 body style was so much more comfortable to play than a dreadnought body style, and sounded brighter too. So I did buy the 000-15 and have no regrets what so ever.
That’s my 2 cents
