Merritt ; I play many styles; fingerpicking, strum and lately flatpicking but with fingerpicks on middle & 4th fingers so that I can strum accompaniment and then do some fingerpicking on a solo. I do pure folk to country pop with Canadian Stephen Fearing my " ultimate contemporary folksinger".
I am really intrigued by the Alvarez guitar I saw on the net with 5 excellent ratings from buyers. Who has tried one ? It seems to be only about $500 ; black cutaway with built in tuner & preamp.
