I seem to remember Doc Watson picking a Guild sometime backalong maybe it was a 12 string... I think the older Guilds were a bit 'heavy on the shoulder' for long sessions. However some of the newer models seem to be built a lot lighter in their co...
Pleased you like it.. this tune grabbed me the first time i heard it. I hosted an American music session last Tuesday evening at a local Folk Festival and we had Fiddles, Banjos, Mandolins, Guitars and Concerinas all playing this tune together. It...

Dave, I just played this 3 times straight and will be back for another boost another time. I not only enjoyed your playing, but also watching your own pleasure in your music. What a gift you have, and thank you for sharing it with all of us.

True mediums ( TM335) are lighter on the 3rd 4th & 5th string ....about where most mediums are. The S335 (std medium) are what i was refering to. Out of interest how much does a set of these cost in the USA ? Here in England I pay about £7-50 ster...
Just tried the S335 P/Bs myself. I like the thicker A and D string too. They,ve only been on the Guild for a couple of days but i like the feel and sound of them a lot. Don't think i'll be putting them on the WM45 though. That'll make for too much...

In my humble abilities I have been fortunate enough to use some great picks on guitars that I do not deserve. I have several tortoise shells that dear friends gave me long ago. They are like playing with a fingernail and even shape to your fingers...
