Been reading in Acoustic Guitar about "guide tones" and wonder if that's something I'm already doing naturally. Any guidance?

I'm a lousy student who doesn't have the patience for following a pedantic formula and theory. I.E., fret only the 3rd and 7th or the minor 3rd and flatted seventh. I just open up or augment the chords according to how it feels and what sounds interesting (to me).

On DADGAD & standard tuning: (For Irish music) I like them both!
But sometimes I wonder if I am biting off more than I can chew. Is it too much to try to learn two guitar tunings?

I don't have a picture of myself to put here, but I'll be seeing some of you at the Old Time, Bluegrass, and Swing/Jazz jam sessions. My guitar, by the way, is a 1955 Martin D-18...now if I can just learn to flatpick like some of you then I'll just be so happy! Have fun.

Well, I have some guitars. Nice ones, too. But I don't know if that necessarily makes me a "guitarist."
