I will.

I played a classical only a few times years ago. I just couldnt believe how huge it felt. I have actually carried Muriel Andersons guitars for her. That women is tiny, and she manages one quite well. I'm sure in time I would have gotten use to it, but..... Like I said I just need to continue what I do, but just do it more like I use to.

I live in a bad area for Fingerstyle Guitar, Classical ect... I was fortunate to find this teacher.

A lot of that can be a typical full D profile.....there are a lot of builders/factories out there now that are making a much slimmer profile on their instruments. Much more comfy for most of us!
