Sorry for the late reply!! I missed this post.. Hope you had a great time at the Nashville Camp!! I think those camps are great even though you might not be at a level to play everything that the guitarists are teaching.. It will most likely be a wonderful inspirational experience too! Depending on the style, I'd say that the most important thing to learn is to get the thumb more independent from your fingers when it comes to rhythms. Check out the free lessons "Fingerstyle Basics", and then move on to some blues lessons!
Kind regards/Emil

RE: Arranging tools?
@fabs
Hi there!!
I don't use any tools for remembering an arrangement, but I sometimes sketch out the changes on a piece of paper, and sometimes I just use my phone to record the ideas, and listen back when I'm working on a new arrangement! :)Kind regards/Emil

RE: Strings, what do you use?

Hi Fernando!Great question!
When I first tried coated strings I didn't like them because of how different they felt to play - very slippery (this is way back when I think Elixir was the only brand offering coated strings). I also found them not sounding the way I wanted, or the way I was used to..
Over time - new coated strings reached the market and it became more and more difficult to hear/see/feel the difference between regular strings and coated strings. There are different ways that they produce these variations of coating and I think the strings are so much better now than they used to be.
This being said - I still prefer non coated strings, and I use phosphor bronze (d'addario). I just change them more regularly. However, I think if I really searched the market today I might find coated strings that works for me too - but phosphor bronze non coated sounds and feels the best to me. But I have friends that use coated only and it works and sounds great for them - so it's not like I think that my solution is the best for everyone.Kind regards/E
