I love to watch the delight of new guitarists getting it for the first time. So glad you enjoyed it, too! Have you eliminated all your string squeak? I think it's a great song for helping us to control that--or at least it helped motivate me to address that issue.

Has anyone steered to towards the song "Anji"? (I like this guy's instructional video because of the diagrams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ntdGoKj2gE).
squeaks quite a bit when I slide all the way up to the 12th fret. Im thinking of getting myself coated strings. Am I just unskilled? Honestly this Larrivee is so responsive! Quite skill demanding which makes it fairly motivating to get better to make it sound as it deserves.
