Don’t focus on matching the complex rhythmic groupings in this study exactly, but rather concentrate on starting and finishing in the right place, and allowing the notes in between to flow freely.
I also string my Epiphone EJ-200 and my Taylor 818e with that set.As you work through this tech session, I think it’s important to keep a few things in mind: And both GCs are strung with Elixir PB HD Lights (.013. I fingerpick all my instruments, using my nails as picks.
It is easier to play, especially in longer sessions, and I like the sound it produces on my 412e-R (the 'R' is for rosewood B&S). My 2 cent opinion is that I really like the short scale. Of course all custom ordered guitars should be checked for specific scale length if that's important. My 512ce is actually a limited edition, which might account for the standard scale, but I called Taylor about it years ago, and it was my impression from that conversation that many GCs were made with a standard scale, especially older ones. My SWAG (Scientific Wild A$$ Guess) is that current production Grand Concerts are short scale. measure the length from nut to 12th fret and double it to get the scale length. If you have a preference, take a retractable carpenters' ruler when you go guitar shopping. I have 2 Grand Concerts, a 412e-R which is a short scale, and a 512ce, which is a standard scale. And Congrats on picking up guitar, welcome to the forum.Ī footnote about Taylor Grand Concert (xy2) guitars. Good luck and please let us know how it turns out. If you can exchange it give some serious thought to the Academy 12. If it is good, maybe try light strings.ģ. Take your guitar to a Taylor repair tech and have them check the action.Ģ. Setting up a Taylor is way easier than most guitars as a neck reset is a 5 minute job for a trained Taylor tech.ġ.

Sometimes even the more expensive series need it as the woods settle a bit after production. The Taylor GC Guitars, anything ending in 12, like the Academy 12 mentioned above have a smaller body, shorter scale, and with the bridge being further into the body are just way easy onthe hands and arms(reach) as well as some models having the arm rest bevel.Īlso, there was just a thread recently where a couple members had new 100 series set up. You can put lights on the 110, but may need a slight adjustment and it will impact sound. The medium strings are also an issue, as is scale length. I wish I had been told when I was younger to mute the string, then keep picking while slowly increasing pressure and finding out how much less force it took than I thought when I first played in my teens. I am sure you probably know this already, but the amount of pressure needed to fret a note is the minimum to get rid of buzz, pushing harder takes your note out of tune.
