Folk Guitar
What are those strings that are good for both classical and folk guitar?

Can i put them on my acoustic?

You’re probably thinking of “Silk and Steel” and they’re not good for either. They’re a poor compromise. You can put them on your acoustic but because they exert much less tension on the guitar, you will eventually have problems with the set-up that will need addressed. Plus you may need to re-file the nut and bridge to make them work. Most pros hate them and stay away. On a classical – the opposite. Too much tension, more than the instrument was designed for.

Kottke’s brilliant debut was released, fittingly, on John Fahey’s Takoma label. Showing the influence of Fahey himself (and Takoma labelmate Robbie Basho), Kottke performs impossibly diffi…
