I’m a wholly self-taught guitarist and like many others, I’ve found myself in a rut. I play acoustic and I kinda want to venture in to the world of creating my own fingerstyle arrangements. I have some idea of where to start but I don’t exactly know how to make my arrangements interesting? I fear I lack the technical skills to do so. How do I get out of this?

Hi all, first time poster and inexperienced player at the start of my journey here. I'm trying to do a bit of detective work on a Tanglewood acoustic and I saw that someone else had done this with some success on here a few years back. I picked up a secondhand mahogany tw133 parlour from my local guitar shop recently and it's got me intrigued... It plays well and has a lovely warm tone that I wouldn't expect from a £200 instrument, even with the amount of mahogany it supposedly has, almost like it has a good bit of age to it. It shows significant scuffs and scratches to the front and sides, quite heavy yellowing on the nut and saddle and a good bit of wear on the back of the neck. A friend took a look at the serial number and suggested it was from the '90s and now I've got a bee in my bonnet to find out if that's true (probably not). Wondering if anyone on here could help throw a little light on it, I've reached out to Tanglewood but nothing from them so far.

I know big brands like Taylor and Martin have good quality acoustic guitars, but I would also like to try out other brands. Recently I’ve purchased this LAVA ME 3 guitar. It’s an acoustic electric guitar with a display on it! So with the display, you can control the build-in effects and loops straight from the guitar. It’s an interesting one because I wouldn’t categorise it as a normal acoustic nor an electric guitar. Just sharing my experience of this niche brand. Anyone heard about it and maybe play a Lava guitar? This is what it looks like: IMG_7272.HEICIMG_7274.HEICIMG_7275.HEIC

My hometown is in Allahabad, India. I owned a Guild 12-string acoustic jumbo dreadnaught for a while. I also set up a recording studio for acoustic recording a long time ago. I like Dire Straits. I'm 55 years old.

So I needed to change the strings on my Brook acoustic - a small jumbo with a lovely, lively sound but well balanced. Anywa, I decided to try some coated strings to see how they worked and for a bit of extra in-case longevity. Normally I’ve used phosphor bronze strings on all my guitars before this but I bought some 80/20 bronze Elixirs and I hate them. The sound is horribly mid ranged and honky both acoustically and through the LR Baggs Dual Source pickup system. As I just DI straight in pulling back the mid on my EQ isn’t an option and the pickup system just has Vol and Piezo/Mic blend onboard. So anyone had experience with more mellow, even sounding coated strings? Should I try the Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings? Or is there another brand/type you might recommend for a nice, even, mellow sound. Ta.
