I think you nailed this @gregD35 . Your voice is perfect for John Prine songs. Great performance!

Hi Juhan – I believe there is a difference between the guitars that nylon v. steel strings are used on. Nylon are used on classical guitars, while steel strings are used on acoustic guitars. I know you can’t put steel strings on a classical – It would ruin it. There are different tensions between the strings, which would effect the neck of the guitars. I’m sure others will be able to explain the differences better than I can.

So, it’s Noah’s fault we don’t see unicorns today?! Figures. LOL

You did very well on both these songs @AttyTJ

Loved the mixing of flatpicking and strumming. Great melody and very smooth.

Thank you so much for your insight @Alisa . I really have a difficult time with the boom chicka pattern. It’s something I’m working on, but I still can’t look at my hands, because I spend too much time thinking about it and it doesn’t sound fluid. I tend to hit the wrong second base note all the time when trying to do it. I’m a little more consistent with the first base note, but even there I may hit the wrong one about 60% of the time. There is a definite learning curve with that skill. @dr_dave is a wealth of information. He’s a walking robotom (word?) in my opinion. He has more skill in his little pinky that I do as a whole. I truly appreciate all his input.

That is so kind of you to say @andy_e

Appreciate it @JanC . I have no doubt that soon you won’t need to look at the strings.
