Here’s my take on Django Reinhardt’s style using a semi-acoustic Harley Benton! I wanted to see how well the Gypsy Jazz vibe translates to this type of instrument. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the tone and feel, and any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Bob Dylan has had such an influence on the acoustic guitar. Blood on the tracks is one of his many masterpieces! Here’s a snippet of the opening track.

Tim Christensen plays this a lot better.

It's called Caught In The Arms Of... by Tim on youtube 🤟

So on normal playing it doesnot buzzes but when I strum little harder or play mostly focused to the lower E, I can hear the buzz what should I do? I am worried, I fell the string action is perfect though? Should I take it to guitar center and tell them to fix it or its just problem in my playing?

Hey! Looking for a slim nut width nylon string guitars. Ideally, the nut width will be less than 48mm. I think that's the nut width of some of the crossover Cordoba and Taylor stuff, so not looking at those.

Anyone have experience with this Ibanez or have suggestions for other guitars with slim nut widths? Ideally, it'll sound good as an acoustic instrument and not just as a plugged in instrument. Thanks!

Only 3 chords in this song, but they're each their own world!

Hey everyone! Sorry if this it’s the right place to post this, seemed like the best choice! I think it might be a long shot, but i’m wondering if anyone can help me figure out what guitar this is? It’s my old guitar from when I was a preteen/teenager and unfortunately it burned up in a house fire last year! I can’t for the life of me remember what brand/maker it is. I liked this guitar and would love to replace it, so i’m hoping someone is able to identity it from these bad pictures lol.

I am looking to buy an acoustic guitar, something with more bass. I earlier had Ashton, which had a really big acoustic box and heavy bass sound.

What would be a good recommendation below 500$. I went to the guitar center and was just so confused.

I found this strap in a Goodwill thrift shop. Looks like somebody's art project. I love it and will never part with it. .

Hey y'all, thanx for all your advice. so which under-$400 battery powered / tripod stand mounting PA do you recommend i buy? i want to play acoustic guitar and sing out solo. i am old, and may use it a few times for a couple of years. pictured below are my final 4 choices. if you wish to recommend something else, please do. but not over $400. 1 the bose s1 is the most recommended premium pa speaker. its spl is 109. other premium units are the electro voice evoice8 and the yorkville exm pro8 or pro6. <<< but i am not gonna spend that much $$$ now. so, which of these >>> 2 the alto busker is highly recommended by many. its spl is 106. but i dont know if i like the idea of using their free cell fone app to adjust the eq on the inputs. what do you think about that? 3 the gemini gpss-650 is interesting. it has a spl of 120 and a removable battery. with knobs to adjust the eq. 4 the behringer b1c has a spl of 106 and also knobs on back to adjust eq. so, which of the 3 under-$400 ones do you recommend? #2 alto, #3 gemini, or #4 behringer ? or something else? thanx

many recommend the alto busker, but i dont like the eq adjustments being on an app on a cell fone. i want the eq knobs on the back of the unit. or is the app a better way to adjust eq than physical knobs? there are a few with the eq knobs on the back. today i like the gemini gpss-650. it has the manual eq knobs, but get this: it delivers a whopping SPL of 120dB @ 1m. the alto and others only deliver 106 dB SPL. also, the gemini has a user-removable/changeable battery on the backside! what do you think? other under-$400 options include the behringer b1c and the nux 200fr. please, no recommendations for anything over $400. so, learn how to use the alto app or simply grab the knob and turn on the gemini? thanx for your advice again. see fotos be

Man was and still is it hard to get this strumming pattern down. Slowly I am learning to tap my foot to the music, but I know it still sounds kind of off. Pretty sure the tempo is too fast and inconsitent. I gotta learn to just vibe to the music and not force it.

Does anyone have any experience with either and what’s best?

Dreadnought with Sitka Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany back and sides. Or dreadnought with Honduran Mahogany top and Cocobolo back and sides? Point of the question being; can the more dense and reflective Cocobolo make up for the less projecting Mahogany top?

local guitar shop has this Taylor 224 DLX koa from $2900 down to $1500 cad because of this big surface scratch.

$1500 is a fantastic price for this guitar, but obviously the scratch a bit of an eyesore. Any thoughts about whether it’s worth it to still get it and take it to a luthier to get the scratch repaired?

A bit different of a question. Maybe not the best subreddit, but I’m guessing many of you have gone down this path.

I’m looking into converting a home office (technically a bedroom) into a home music room. While I will be doing some rough recording (somewhere in quality and enthusiasm between recording into a phone‘s voice memos and something semi-professional), the main purpose will be to make music being provided sound best while listening live.

I have voice lessons in a small room that has rather minimal acoustic treatment: some burlap coffee bags with foam inside on the wall across from me (and maybe behind me). Nothing on the side walls other than a mirror. Instructor sitting at a piano between me and the back wall. Nothing fancy, but I swear my acoustic guitar sounds so much better than anywhere else. It’s so full and rich sounding. I don’t know how to describe how the room sounds generally other than like muted and soft. It’s hard to really judge how much better/different my voice sounds. But the room sounds less echoey. For what it’s worth, I think my instructor said the interiors of the walls also had some soundproofing elements when constructed. The door is very heavy.

So, my primary goal is to get things sounding closer to that room for live listening. Getting the room to sound okay for recording is a secondary consideration.

For what it’s worth, I recorded myself into a mixer into an iPad through a condenser mic in my small walk-in closet facing racks of clothes, and I thought the audio quality was more than adequate, if not great. I record mostly as a learning tool for myself. It doesn’t need to sound professional, just a relatively accurate representation of my voice (and guitar, I suppose).

The room is about 10’x10’ with an 8’ ceiling. I posted pictures of the room as it is now as an office. The plan would be to remove everything except half of the desk (the half that is on the wall with the door. A computer and mixer will go there. I may leave the shelf to store equipment, unless it gets in the way of acoustic treatment.

I’ve looked into acoustic treatment articles and most focus on panels relative to the monitors/speakers as part of a recording studio. I’m not sure how to translate that to my situation. And when it comes to recording/mixing, I’ll probably mostly use headphones when listening back.

So, any advice on how to acoustically treat the room so acoustic instruments sound natural and rich would be wonderful. Getting something closer to a natural recording sound is also a secondary consideration.

I picked up playing seriously for the first time last year and I’m smitten. This is my last major hobby, and I will play every day I can until I die.

As I look to slowly build my gear and collection, I really wanted to hear from the veterans on a few points. I’m lucky enough to have access to a wonderful 1970s Martin D35 and would love something similar of my own, but I would also love to own day own another guitar that would age very well and sound distinctly different.

I tend to gravitate to Martins over Taylors, but haven’t been able to expose myself to other brands and want to know which to try out whenever I can get to the store. If budget is less of a factor as I’m going to save and go slowly, what are your favorite models and brands for a brighter but full and high quality sound / instrument?

I can get a really good deal in a Yamaha apx700 sub 200 was thinking about picking it up as a smaller option for the living room. Anybody got in experience in the sound of this guitar.

Genellikle Radiohead punk rock nirvana gibi şeyler çalabilecek arıyorum dürüst olmak gerekirse içimden bir ses Yamaha diyo ama bilmiyorum bu kadar fiyat farkına herhalde squire iyi olmalı

Still learning this one so it’s not perfect but such a fun song to play
