Four factors here. (1)Trying to find the right set of strings. (2)Testing a recording with Zoom H4n built in microphones plus iRig Acoustic Stage plus Onboard piezo. (3)Trying to improvise while switching between D Aeolian and A Phrygian (same notes in scale, but different emphasis). (4)Getting used to new guitar.
Newtone Heritage 13s a definite success as they got me playing.
