The importance of family
One question: How do you decide which guitar to use at any given moment? :-)

Hi Richard, Thanks so much
Thanks so much for your great comment!
Family, especially during this time of Easter, is a time to treasure. Thanks for pointing that family-building is of utmost importance in this troubled world today, most specially.
And by the way, my Taylor is my designated guitar for music that is a bove my vocal reach, as I tuned it down to D, instead of E - D,G,C,F,A,D.
I just exposed one of my secrets, hahahaha!
Thanks Richard, as always, it is a pleasure to hear from you!
Respectfully,
Rene
Drop DGCFAD tuning!
The nice thing about most guitar editions of hymnals sold by liturgical publishers is that they have alternate capo chords in parentheses above the original chords. I sometimes capo down a half step or three from those alternate chords, effectively transposing the song. Not something you can do with a keyboardist who is unable to to transpose on the fly. But works great when I am doing solo songleading or providing music for meditation at a faith formation service or a pro-life prayer vigil.
So it looks like you are a music shop owner. Do you ever get a guitarrón in for sale? I use a virtual guitarrón instrument in many of my salmos – sold by Bolder Sounds.

Hi Richard, Thanks for
Thanks for upgrading my music room into a music store.
I have not owned a guitarron, but I would probably buy one, myself.
Capo'ing down from the written chords in books, are very good idea, and I will keep them in mind.
For my purpose, I tried this lower tuning on my Taylor BTO GO, and I love the sound, so I will keep it at this lower tuning, and use this guitar for any song that I might need the assistance.
Always a pleasure conversing with you Richard!!!
Respectfully,
Rene
