[nabs-l] Tuner ap, in order to tune my guitar, that is Accessible with voiceover

Diederio strings are much better than elixyrs.
They last longer.
My friend Timothy Clark, from Music Talk uses them.
Blessings, Joshua

Also regarding strings; Martins do get a good sound, but there are a
couple of other factors to consider.

I use Elixyr strings because I play a lot, (nearly every day), so I
want my strings to last.  The Elixyrs sound pretty good, and have a
special coating which resists wear and allows for the strings to be
used longer.  Whereas I used to change my strings twice a year without
playing nearly as much as I do now, I've had these Elixyrs since last
Christmas and they've just recently given out on me.

If you're still a beginner longevity might not be a huge concern right
now, but it may be something to think about in the future.
