Thanks for more Molly Tuttle! :D #small win, delighted to chat with fellow TAC member Andrew D prior to the start of the Molly Tuttle concert last week! :D I greatly enjoyed my 2nd row/center seat! :D Her fabulous fiddle player and stand up base helped to expand the joy! :D
Tuning in from Bristol UK. Self confessed guitar geek. Loving the show! Just convinced myself to I need to buy a nice blueridge 000 on sale in town and can't wait to get it 😎
So cool to see our #guitarsenal photo and story shared this episod. An update, it was my daughter 16th birthday this past weekend and I got her a Taylor GS Mini-e Koa. She was out of her mind excited. #smallwin #famjam #guitargeeks
Oh yeah!! Chris Knight, my favorite artist. My only prayer is my favorite song because I'm a good old boy stuck in the big city and it sucks! Awesome artist and my close favorite to him actually is Colter wall because of you introducing his music on your video. Thank you sir.
I watched this episode a few days before Thanksgiving. This was great for me since my plastic skeletons are still about the house and are staying for a while. Couldn't find my severed arm though but I do have a severed foot. Halloween should run at least to the day before T-giving. Thank You for extending this. And of course the guitar geek stuff is always a holiday. Tuesdays are holidays and this missed episode was a true blessing. Thanks Y'all! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Hi Tony, Noah and Levi from Ludlow, Shropshire, England. I picked the show up from around AT35 and have watched since, as well as catching up on the back catalogue. I have learned so much and been introduced to many new artists. Thank you a truly great show. I would add a side note re Halloween coming up. We have a couple of villages down in the Cotswolds called Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter. Nothing to do with witches or ghoulish things, but a fun snippet. Have a great Halloween.
Cheers (scotch) from Nashville! First time #smallwin here. I've got my first paid gig for my own music coming up this Saturday! Also, looks like I may have the ability to go on some short tours with some acquaintances pretty soon. Not too shabby. Thanks for your show and keep up the good work!
Hey Tony, I love your acoustic Tuesdays. I watched a video where you had a Bourbon, honestly my favorite beverage. Joseph from Wisconsin around Madison, I think why I love your channel so much is even though I have electrics, resonators but my favorite guitars are my D28 Martin and believe or not I bought a Fender DG60 I travel with. Guitar snobs would say it’s a cheap guitar but I am one with this guitar. Keep up the awesome work and keep drinking the good Bourbon, Evan Williams is my brand, what’s yours? Take care Tony, heading downstairs to entertain my dogs, stay cool and keep these episodes coming.
#littlewins I have been playing my guitar for about 4 years. I have always wanted to play since 4 grade. I finally started playing 4 years ago and since then I have been really getting better. I have been getting a lot better and many people have committed that I'm getting really good. I'm tuning in from Iowa.
Hey All. I was just watching some old videos from acoustic Tuesday when I came across Tony’s favourite singer, That’s right, Molly Tuttle. And I can see why she is loved by not only Tony, but a lot of people. She makes flat picking look so easy it’s unbelievable, so I wanted to try it. Well, I failed terribly, lol, man, I could use some tips, so from a fellow amateur acoustic guitar player, I’m calling in a favour for all tips I can get. Than you
Victoria, One thing that helps is starting to learn basic transposition, meaning taking a song from one key and moving it to another. This will help inform capo position and if a capo can indeed replace any of the barre chords :-)
Shoutout from South Bohemia, Czech Rep. I own 2 Furchs and intimately know quite a few others. Proud to have such a high quality guitar maker here! [Furk] is a little more correct pronunciation but not quite there yet. By the way the name is most likely of German origin. We pronounce it the same eg. Scotts say "Loch" like Loch Ness. Or, speaking of music, the same way you'd say J. S. Bach. Czech (look, there's that ch again..) Republic has long musical tradition, many famous composers, in the classical era close relationships with Italy, Austria, Germany. Also Jazz, Swing, Folk, Country and later Bluegrass had strong following and solid player base here. Tho nowadays it all seems inclined toward Rock and Pop and YT a bit too much.
Another capo use: There are songs where we have 3 guitars going in my band... I'm on a Baritone so I'm a fourth below. One of the other guys is playing in first position and the third guitar capos up to grab different inversions. If we were all first position regular tuning it'd sound muddy and we'd be stepping all over each-other but having the three different positions using different chord shapes mixes it up enough to give us separation and complexity to the song.
For example if I'm playing a D (shaped like an open G on the baritone) one of the other guys is playing an open D shape like normal and the third is capoed at the 10th using an E shape
#youknowyouareaguitargeekwhen you might need to relocate because of work and the first you check (even before potential accommodation) is if the town you might be moving to has a music store and then you read customers review about it
I played Furch when I was in London couple of years ago, found them by accident. I love the OM models; they are lightweight and sound great and easy to play. The price/value is in the sweet spot;if you can find one near you definitely consider it (it's difficult to find dealers in the US).
Hello from the Outer Banks NC. #smallwin - after 20+ years of guitar playing I've been asked to join a band. We'll see how this goes, fingers crossed. #famjam : My 11 year son , a drummer, has now gotten to the point there HE comes to ME to ask to play/practice music together, the best part is seeing how happy he is when we "get it right", so fun. Finaly, I have a question: How do you fly on a commercial flight with your guitar? I've had nothing but bad luck with this.
James, Thanks for watching!!! As for flying there are two approaches. 1.) You can ship it to your destination this way it is insured or 2.) invest in a flight case this way if you have to check it at least you have some solid protection, but above that you should try and keep your guitar in hand all the way to the gate until they either gate check it or allow you to bring it on the plane :-)
#smallwin I've been playing live since march at open mics. last Sunday an incredible musician named Teddy Boy Roix (older musician who is just the coolest guy) went up after I played this one open mic I've rarely ever played. The guy running the open mic walked up to me and told me I should have no issue getting paid to play around town and even that Teddy Boy had said to him "finally someone worth going up after" I don't know anything about Teddy Boy as far as his musical accomplishments, however at this particular establishment, he is obviously the most respected musician. Having his blessing was awesome. After he played he came up and shook my hand, asking if we'd met before, and telling me how great he thought I was. It was truly a #smallwin
Well i have obtained one through a friend but i cant find out any information on them. It is a full body folk guitar and if you could i really like to see if i can find out more about it and maybe you would feature it on acoustic tuesday.
Tony, you forgot as part of Halloween jokes to say the guitar has some "killer" tones... I knew about Furch guitars, but despite the fact they are made 6 hours away from where I live in Germany it seems it is easier to find them in stores in the US than in Germany. So far I have never seen one in any shop I visited.
Austin, TX. Love show! I wish y'all would give one playing tip each show and end every show with a quick tutorial on a song ending flourish, so at the end of the year we would all have 52 flourishes we could all use and credit Acoustic Life TV. You could have people send in their original flourishes too and have a "Name That Flourish" weekly contest and then we could all identify the flourishes by name! God Bless!
I have a Furch Little Jane travel guitar with an Element pickup (that I installed). It is really the best travel guitar I could find. The damn neck funnels into the guitar and then into a smallish backpack which fits under seat on any plane. Thanks as always Gordon from Cincinnati!
#youknowyouareaguitargeek when you are losing sleep over the sharp point on your string snip pliers and they are spring loaded so won't close in your guitar case's toolbox, so you get up in the middle of the night and pull the springs off the snips with pliers and then Dremel the snip tips to a nice soft round and now you can go back to sleep knowing next string change if you slip you won't scar your guitar's top or bridge!
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all you do. Most of all, giving acoustic artists a review and bringing them to light to average joes like me. Up until I have discovered this show, i have grown tired of mainstream music and thanks to you I now enjoy all of the artists you have on the show. To name a few of my favorites Caitlin Canty, Otis Gibbs, Jeffrey Foucault, and Benjamin Tod along with Lost Dog Street Band. You guys keep up the good work and once again thanks for changing my life for the better.
My thing is using alternate tunings so a capo is useful for when I want something like DADGAD but everyone else is in standard. I'll just put a capo on the 2nd fret so I don't have to tune strings higher than their standard pitch & risk breaking a string.
I saw this anod literally said "Acoustic Tuesday!" aloud... slightly embarrassed but I love this show. For the 100th episode you gotta try doing a double length special, maybe even 2 hours haha just a boat load of acoustic goodness. By the way Tony, didn't know you could sing, that's awesome.
Awesome episode guys! Thanks for the shout out and thumbs up to Noah for pronouncing my name so well 😊 Also, i want to thank you guys for featuring Furch guitars. I got an OM-34 and a dreadnought and they both plays and sounds amazing. Keep up the great work! 😊🍻👍🎵🎸
A huge 'Hello' to all TAC'ers, from myself here in England. Regarding 'capo' useage, does anyone want to tell Lynsey Buckingham that he is cheating because he uses one? It's Friday today, so I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and play every day. :-) x
Hey hey! This is Becca from Sioux Falls, SD! Thanks for sharing all of the guitar info. I used to work at my local Guitar Center and miss being submerged in guitar lingo. I left to stay home with my daughter (almost two) and try to talk guitars with her. She understands strumming and picks, but... Let's just say she'll get there someday. #SmallWin that she's learning? #YouKnowYou'reAGuitarGeekWhen touchscreens are difficult for you because you have fantastic callouses on your left hand and long nails on your right.
Ed indeed you are correct :-) Depending on the angle of picture you can see the three piece back. I wanted to make the question a tough one by only showing the front :-)
# SMALL WINS.......Here is a small win..... I bought my first classical guitar a Córdoba C5. The hysterical part of this purchase, is I live in Alabama, and my guitar decided to go out west to Colorado and back to the distributor where I made my order. After calling this distributor and asked if they knew where Alabama is, they told me there are two hubs for UPS and it was misplaced. Either way my new guitar decided to take a road trip before coming home to me. Small funny win for sure... 😂😂😂 feel free to announce this on your show. My name is Jackie from Albertville, Alabama 👍. Thank you and love the show.
Thanks for another great show! Another use for capo (at least for me), is to provide wider effective nut width. For example, on my 1-11/16" nut, capo on 2nd fret changes to 1-3/4" nut. This makes fingering some chord/runs/segues a lot easier (for me, a number of Neil Young songs). Shout out for the spot on Furch (Fu'ruch - almost 2 syllables, "ch" like church, and roll the "r" - I grew up in a Czech community) guitars! Love 'em! I reckon y'all are doin' a mighty fine job! Steve from Brazoria, TX (trivia: y'all is a contraction of "ye all" the plural of "ye" and came to America from Scottish immigrants!)
#YouKnowYouAreAGuitarGeekWhen, PLUS, #SmallWin You look around you, and on the carpet are a dozen picks of various colors. You don't pick them up. Why would you? There are 50 more within arms reach, and the colors look so much like fallen leaves, and you realize your October decorating is done. THEN, you think about Eva Cassidy's haunting version of 'Autumn Leaves'. Listen to it and understand how to find the key, then ID the chords and changes, then learn the song right then and there, because you have taken Tony's Fretboard Wizard course three times, and it is starting to stick. TRUTH. (So grateful for the good work you all do.) - Claudia M, Wyoming
hi from Nigeria i love the show started from 45 and i am up to date and have gone back for previous episodes. #you know you are a guitar geek when you order your first guitar and you are happy that its arriving on you mom's birthday so that she would ask you much questions. #small win my guitar its on its way home.
Greetings from Florida. I’m excited for my first #smallwin: waiting for the FedEx guy to bring me my first Martin guitar. Thinking that at this stage in my guitar career that my Yamaha dreadnaught is too big, later today I’ll be playing a Grand Performance GPCX1RAE.
Robert Justiana I'm here in Florida as well. I hope you're not up in the panhandle; beautiful area, but that hurricane was awful. ....enjoy your new guitar😳
Big win for me is i am a steel guitar player. When buying my last guitar i spotted a gibson guitar that i had no idea of what it was but i bought it for 20 dollars simply because i spent 1200 on the steel. The Gibson i bought was a 2500 dollar guitar witch i sold for 900 so i got a win win.
The #guitarsenal who named all their guitars with female names is cool. I have a male guitar named "Chuck". My human friend Chuck passed away some years ago. He gave me a song to keep as my own, that he wrote. It's called "The Trailer Song". CHORUS: "Trailer's aren't made for everyday life, with cheap walls of paneling that looks so nice. There's stains on the ceiling where the water comes in, and I don't think I'll ever buy a trailer again". Thanks Chuck, I miss you.
#smallwin Yesterday I dropped off my 2010 Taylor 855ce and my 1995 Martin HD-28 for saddle replacement and set-ups. It will take a week or so to get them back. I miss them already!
Noah, sorry, bro, but you're not dialing it in right. Your "game" music was so loud during Tonys trivia question that we could hardly hear him. About 30% less would've been just right. Otherwise, great job.
Shout out from Los Angeles.
I spent two hours listening to Chris Knight"s music Thank You! I really love Hard Edges
Great channel , subbed 😁
Thanks for more Molly Tuttle! :D

You need to check out The Lovers from Nashville. The guy is an amazing player.

Hi! Rick here in San Francisco. Tony was just so "up" today that I began wondering what was in his coffee. Just how Irish was that coffee?
Molly Tuttle's right hand technique boggles my mind.
Hi Tony. regarding the trivia question, doesn't the HD 35 always have a three piece back? Love your show, by the way.
Robert, Indeed :-) I wanted to make the question a bit more difficulty by just looking at the front :-)
Yeah, I guess it would have been a giveaway...
This is the first video of acoustic life I've seen yet. Love it!!
Hello Acoustic Life Fam...All the way from Las Vegas...Always enjoy the show. I'm a newbie to this acoustic world but enjoying the journey.

#smallwin - used my capo to change a slightly challenging E - C#m - A - B7 to a very easy (capo at the 4th fret) C - Am - F - G7. Mind blown!
Tony, your old man laugh warms up my heart every time.
chris knight.......yeah
How do you play a song where you have regular chords and barre chords while using a capo for those barre chords?
Victoria, One thing that helps is starting to learn basic transposition, meaning taking a song from one key and moving it to another. This will help inform capo position and if a capo can indeed replace any of the barre chords :-)
What capo is that?! Please help!

Waiting for new strings in Baghdad, but at least I’ve got Acoustic Tuesday in Iraq.
Awesome, tuning in from Cartersville,georgia. At work as always enjoying this show and getting paid to do so is sweet lol
I played Furch when I was in London couple of years ago, found them by accident. I love the OM models; they are lightweight and sound great and easy to play. The price/value is in the sweet spot;if you can find one near you definitely consider it (it's difficult to find dealers in the US).
SMALL WIN my 14 year old son wants a Martin
Hi from Louisiana
Anyone mention Dropped E tuning using a capo? Use your capo on strings 1-5 at second fret and viola! Dropped E tuning.

Can you guys tell me anything about cameo guitars.
Haven't heard of them, but will certainly check them out :-)
Well i have obtained one through a friend but i cant find out any information on them. It is a full body folk guitar and if you could i really like to see if i can find out more about it and maybe you would feature it on acoustic tuesday.
Tony, you forgot as part of Halloween jokes to say the guitar has some "killer" tones... I knew about Furch guitars, but despite the fact they are made 6 hours away from where I live in Germany it seems it is easier to find them in stores in the US than in Germany. So far I have never seen one in any shop I visited.
Enrico, try Czech Republic.

I wish y'all would give one playing tip each show and end every show with a quick tutorial on a song ending flourish, so at the end of the year we would all have 52 flourishes we could all use and credit Acoustic Life TV.

I have a Furch Little Jane travel guitar with an Element pickup (that I installed). It is really the best travel guitar I could find. The damn neck funnels into the guitar and then into a smallish backpack which fits under seat on any plane. Thanks as always Gordon from Cincinnati!

Tony P = endless font of guitar geek knowledge. The capo segment was GOLD! Thanks Noah and Tony
Yep. I'm convinced. #caposhopping
My thing is using alternate tunings so a capo is useful for when I want something like DADGAD but everyone else is in standard. I'll just put a capo on the 2nd fret so I don't have to tune strings higher than their standard pitch & risk breaking a string.
Tune down a step and capo second fret: Standard with low tension and longer fretting reach.
Id like to be part of tonys acoustic challenge, and i ve just sent my rquest, w8ting for your invitation.
#smallwin managed to get the last copy available on Amazon Germany of "My first guitar".. ps in Europe it costs twice as much as in the US
Did you ever get a chance to try out the Dargon's Heart picks?
Pablo, They are on my list, it's just a super long list :-) Cheers!!!
I saw this anod literally said "Acoustic Tuesday!" aloud... slightly embarrassed but I love this show. For the 100th episode you gotta try doing a double length special, maybe even 2 hours haha just a boat load of acoustic goodness. By the way Tony, didn't know you could sing, that's awesome.
Hey Tony I would love it if you did a segment on Seagull ( Godin company), it would be interesting to here your opinion!

Good morning Noah
I see a dislike from someone who doesn't have a capo.
Hi all! JohnG from ATL. Made it on time today - I think.
Waiting for episode 69
, lol
HD-35 and Noah. Music was too loud while he was asking the question ;)
Howdy "Ya'll" from East Texas.
Tony, y'all comes from the south. The plural of y'all is All Y'all. Noah should be familiar.
Thanks for another great show! Another use for capo (at least for me), is to provide wider effective nut width. For example, on my 1-11/16" nut, capo on 2nd fret changes to 1-3/4" nut.

#YouKnowYouAreAGuitarGeekWhen, PLUS, #SmallWin You look around you, and on the carpet are a dozen picks of various colors. You don't pick them up. Why would you? There are 50 more within arms reach, and the colors look so much like fallen leaves, and you realize your October decorating is done. THEN, you think about Eva Cassidy's haunting version of 'Autumn Leaves'. Listen to it and understand how to find the key, then ID the chords and changes, then learn the song right then and there, because you have taken Tony's Fretboard Wizard course three times, and it is starting to stick.

Big win for me is i am a steel guitar player. When buying my last guitar i spotted a gibson guitar that i had no idea of what it was but i bought it for 20 dollars simply because i spent 1200 on the steel. The Gibson i bought was a 2500 dollar guitar witch i sold for 900 so i got a win win.
The #guitarsenal who named all their guitars with female names is cool. I have a male guitar named "Chuck". My human friend Chuck passed away some years ago. He gave me a song to keep as my own, that he wrote. It's called "The Trailer Song". CHORUS: "Trailer's aren't made for everyday life, with cheap walls of paneling that looks so nice. There's stains on the ceiling where the water comes in, and I don't think I'll ever buy a trailer again". Thanks Chuck, I miss you.
This ages me -- wait for it... thing! Oh I have never heard you sing
hi from upstate NY! #small wins - I'm staying on target with my daily lessons!!!
#smallwin Yesterday I dropped off my 2010 Taylor 855ce and my 1995 Martin HD-28 for saddle replacement and set-ups. It will take a week or so to get them back. I miss them already!
#youknowyoureaguitargeekwhen you buy a 1995 Martin HD-28 to re-sell and end up keeping it because it sounds sooooo good!
Merseyside, birthplace of the Beatles and the Merseysound, Maybe you are a bit too young to remember the Merseysound

Uh oh...Noah, beard envy?
Noah, sorry, bro, but you're not dialing it in right. Your "game" music was so loud during Tonys trivia question that we could hardly hear him. About 30% less would've been just right. Otherwise, great job.
Noted :-) That level will be adjusted in future episodes :-)
too much talk
too long and too mucj talk about nothing
I'm familiar with Stone Bridge. They make a high E guitar I wish I could add to my very small guitarsenal.
Your trivia question and answer quiz can't be heard over the jeopardy music. I can't be the only one who notices. I'd like to hear it.
Cheryl, Noted :-) We have adjusted it for future episodes. Cheers :-)
