I have been practicing my slur (ligado) technique on classical guitar… using the Aaron Shearer book.
As I was doing exercises I thought, “some of these could make good sequences”. Then I started to try and apply them in a more jazz way. Not working so well.
I did a lot of problem solving and came up with some ideas. However I feel like the wisdom here far transcends my limited-ness.
The motivation for the book was to systematically address different slur fingering combinations. Each figure though is built with slurred notes within reach of each other. Pedal notes always add logic to a sequence. The bulk of these have a flow similar to enclosures. To me they make the most sense resolving to a chord indicated by an additional target note or notes. They also can form cool sequences by moving the patterns in various ascending or descending intervals. Harmonically speaking the starting and ending points define function. Now that you have assimilated these moves, not a bad thing to consider if they have any application outside of guitar gym class.
Turned 29 this year and I suppose 'young' is a relative term (I feel old, or at least 'older') and I played strats for the longest time. When I got into Joe Pass and got my first archtop I found I...
The trick is probably to have both, so also a job that brings in the real money, and ideally a rewarding one where you have enough autonomy and flexibility to support your musical endeavours.

Those Earvana nuts really look like they're a PITA to set up if you can't use one of the prefabbed versions, and also to maintain buzz-free.

I have 2 guitars that have some blemishes that are clear under the top coat. I doubt they'd become invisible with just an overspray.

The condenser mic. is built in. How, I really do not know,
The guitar has 1 output (endpin jack).
The tuners where the way they are now, but I do not know why?

You can have a looper play through the amp and move the mic around listening through headphones. Or use an amp plugin when mixing, they usually feel lackluster but sound good.
