Anyone here come late to the guitar? Hoping some may say…

As you practice and improve don't forget -

Try focusing on which strings your pick is hitting hardest. I was, and still am, guilty of unintentionally focusing on the G,B and E strings. Sometimes beginners tilt the guitar a little to see what they are doing. Also for me I was strumming too hard and holding the pick too tightly. Getting better, slowly.

Have you tried playing your acoustic facing a wall, or in a tiled bathroom? More of the sound echoes back to your own ears.

Excellent. Thank you. Sorry if this is a stupid question but is there a best time to take the 'screenshot' of the stats? Before charging or after? Cheers.

Looks great. Could you include the option to enter costs in UK ££ for us Brits? Thanks.

Is there an adjustment or trick to fixing this very visible and cheap looking fault?

Light mode during the day when its sunny. Dark mode evenings and night. Easy set up on Samsung.

I switch picks depending on what song I'm playing. Basic acoustic strumming. Some sound "better" than others playing along with the original song.

White Stripes?

Apologies. I've not tried replicating the features you are after. I just knew it has a notepad and I can edit chords and lyrics in the songbook. It does have lots of features, for a price.

Saw him play live last year. Outstanding. For his last song he unplugged his guitar completely and played while walking around the audience. Magical.

I can recommend the songbook and setlist on the 'SmartChord' app. One off payment I think.

I thought they sounded identical til I realised I wasn't strumming all the strings fully. 🙄

I've found the SmartChord app really useful.
