Adi spruce vs. Mahogany? Discover Your Dream Acoustic Tone ★ Acoustic Tuesday 284
Hi, just bought a ice tea burst 12 string guitar DA Angelo 12 string guitar for less than $600. This thing is beautiful. It plays like a champ right out of the box. I took mine out of the box and played it. The only thing I gotta do is just make the strings lighter gauge. I’m gonna run light gauge strings because a 12 string has a lot of tension on the bridge and also on the neck Light string help. Keep all that tension off of the neck and bridge. I really enjoyed your show 👍😄🎸🎼🎶🎵🎸
Hello I like your review on the kyser.capo..I have one myself. I like the 314s Taylor acoustic guitars but the price is pretty high. Which other acoustic Brand or make guitars are comparable to the 314 Taylor? Thanks
It is real good way of playing the riff.
But Taylors sound better 🧐
So I'm a local weekend warrior gigging in St. John's NL Canada. Recently I sprung for a D18 and had a K&K Pure Mini installed. I hate to say it but I'm disappointed. The high b and e strings are low in the mix. K&K say the fix is installing a 4th transducer and soldering it in. Before the D18 I played a Larrivee for many years with a Headway undersaddle Piezo which I really liked. Anyhow, I guess I'll try the 4th transducer. If that doesn't' work I'm back to square one!
Doing just down strums for me was tougher than using a strumming pattern because it meant I had to be better about keeping the beat or I had to count down strums in addition to everything else. I practiced a strumming pattern until it was almost totally a habit and didn't have to keep count.
First!
Took me 40 Minutes with my tuner but I tuned a hand me down guitar and I am SO PROUD of myself. Thank you this was really helpful ! x
Always loved Lightnin'Hopkins 🎸🎸 BUKKA WHITE is another artist I dig and would like to see profiled🎶🎸
The most over rated, over priced pieces of timber ever.
Its amazing that companies are allowed to sell guitars that aren't just out of tune but multiple keys out of tune. How could you possibly have QC a guitar if its not even remotely tuned? I just had the little e blow up in my face on first tuning due to a defect that would have got picked up if Yamaha bothered to QC stuff
It sucks for some reason I’m not following where to put my fingers exactly I wish you would’ve for noobs like me had a chart. I can see exactly what your fingers are playing on.
I have a Guild F50R with the K&K Trinity system, which combines a bridge plate transducer with an internal mike, with a dedicated preamp that lets you blend the signals from the 2 sources. It's not cheap and you need to use the dedicated preamp and a stereo cord to get the full advantage of it, but the sound is pretty impressive.
lamest song ever.I like your podcasts but this is limp
If you use a razor blade as a scraper, I highly recommend using plastic razor blades. That's what we always used when scraping anything off the gel coat of boats we worked on because it will never gouge or scratch the finish.
Regarding the question about which song helped me discover alternate tunings, and I bet this is the case for a lot of players....Rain Song by Led Zeppelin of course.
This is a really amazing presentation! Thanks so much! It can get pretty boring just playing in standard tuning constantly. This should really become a path to creativity! Thanks for broadening my tiny little simple mind!
BC TP48 is my current fav😊
I’ve probably got some mechanical buzz. But bah my home learnt technique fails me again as there are some causes of my buzz right there.
Ovation's 12 strings sounds nice, I own a Yamaha 12 strings
Straight to the point thank you
Thanks for the luthier knot tip. It helped!
6 years ago, i doubt you'll see this but THANK YOU!!! this really helped me overcome my barre chord fears, i've been avoiding them but now i actually made it sound like something! this will totally help me get motivation to practice more!
All we are is dust in the nutslot.
i just broke the spare string trying to restring my guitar is this a skill issue
Wish they had the moustache bridge, really love that
2:33 I like G tuning better when the low E string is ALSO a G. 😊
Great job, this is almost exactly how I have been changing strings for 40 years .
I've been playing 12 string guitars for 50 years. The first time I ever changed strings on my 12 string guitar, it took 5 and a half hours to change and tune. All I had was a tuning fork (A=440) and NO peg winder... now I can do it all in about 15 minutes.
🤘👍🏿
THANK YOU!!!
Jenn Butterworth is a simply amazing Scottish Trad guitarist who teaches in Glasgow at the Scottish Conservatoire. And, her voice is butter.
I'm not learning guitar at all I have a teton acoustic guitar I just don't understand the fretboard
Tony - you REALLY need to take a look at the Epiphone Hummingbird 12-string. It’s $1299 in Canada, so about $900 USD. I think it Will make your Top 10 list pretty easily!
I own a BR-160 and a BR-40, and love both of them, but I'd keep the BR-40 over the 160 all day long! It is Mahogany and has that beautiful warm tone.
Yeah, this guy emphasis making small adjustments but doesn't actually tell you to let your guitar sit and come back to it, measure then make and adjustment, leave for couple minutes. Dont do what I did and mess up your guitar. Better explanation was needed, pretty disappointed.

I just installed one of these in my D28 and used a 3/32 drill bit with some paste wax on the threads. I drilled perpendicular to the surface of the heal about 3/4 inch from the body and 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the heel. They are really nice strap buttons. I've had one on my OM for 10 years.
This is the best one by far. Thank you 🤩
nothing,nowhere brought me here. Your incredible teaching style kept me here ❤️
What a terrific Video Tony! First time I've seen your Tuesday Show and it's a real joy and you are to, brother Thanks!!!!
I agree with you about Wagon wheel, everyone loves to sing along with the chorus, another similar great campfire song is Country Roads,and here in Galway Ireland...The Galway Girl... Steve Earle
So I feel like the Koa is a deeper sound if that makes any sense at all??? The spruce was slightly louder and brighter with low resonance while the koa was deep, bassy, warm and full of resonance.
I dont like your content. I'll give you free advise..start an interviewing great guitar...for yourself..and learn guitar ✍️🎥🇮🇳🌍🙏 good luck SIR
From Australia , thank you , 70 year old just retired chord strummer , trying to kick start my basic guitar playing skills and this tuning in DADGAD is so amazing , great lesson and so easily explained , Peace from down under.
Very cool do you do a few other blues vids?
dude wtf am i doing wrong?? when i put the E srtring into that hole, the damn thing wont stay down the damn bridge pin keeps lifting so i cant even do the 2nd part. wtf.
Killer Hotel California riff
Sorry for asking, do you have a video for the 2nd strap button? (The one on the body/bottom) I liked how you demonstrated the 1st button here 👍🏽
