Guitar Tricks 23: Open String Technique - Acoustic Guitar Lesson

[jamezroper]

wha strings do you use on your acoustic?? :)

[kkidd123]

great lesson..sorta the sound that made csn(y) ...cept they used diff tunings...but same ideer. Works very well when you are playin with a couple guys, so yer all not just hittin the same shit...adds loads of color...AND when u get used to the chords, it super duper helps you learn where to go for lead without thinking about it

[flikda3flip]

[EVguitarsNW]

[TashaLee5ive]

i have a question, see im new and uh i have a washburrn oscar schmidt and my dad says its good, i like it alot bbut im just asking cause my dad dont play guitar lol and he told me it good please answer my question please

[akensturgeon]

Man, that's a great sounding acoustic. What brand and model is it?

[Guitartricks]

This one is a Wechter Grand Auditorium Elite, sounds nice and full :)

[fblitk]

You have to bear in mind that good technique is also what makes an instrument sound good..

and Neil has it all !

[akensturgeon]

There's no denying that. I really appreciate all the instructors at GT. I just started trying to learn about 7 weeks ago. Started out with an Ibanez starter but I'm far enough in to know I'm committed to the cause and just bought a Taylor 114ce. Now, if I could just play it like Neal I'd be doing OK.

:o)

[fblitk]

Btw soz I spelt his name wrong .. Neal =)

[RickBlacker]

Nice job Neal! When are you moving up to Portland to become my mentor?

[Guitartricks]

[RickBlacker]

Oh stop it. Isn't always foggy in the bay area? ;)

[avincent55]

awesome lesson neal! how about for the next one, you have a lesson on tremolo picking or some sweeps.

[Guitartricks]

I'm not a sweep picking pro but we have been getting alot of requests for it..maybe I'll have to bone-up on my skills.

[avincent55]

aw no prob! just throwing a common request down. plus i know how hard it is to switch from one style to another. haha, it's a pain! :)
