Lightbulb Day 1: Martin Monels on a Rosewood (Cocobolo) / Spruce Taylor
I originally wanted to stick out a play-in test of some Martin RETRO strings. I planned to wait this out for at least 2 weeks, from what I've read to allow.

Guitar is Rosewood (Cocobolo) Spruce Taylor GS.

Here's Day 1.

There's a bit of strumming, a bit of finger style. No talking.

Strumming to start, finger style at 1:40.



HOWEVER -- I decided I couldn't wait out the trial -- there's quite a bit of articulation for the finger style, but strumming was just too strident for my taste.

Some day will see if I want to try this again.
