I like Elliott Smith a lot.
Not so keen on Elliot Brown, he should try the banjo.

Now call me Kirsty! Luxury: My Triumph TR4a, both beautiful and something for me to tinker with. Colin Lovely list Kirsty. Seriously, some excellent folk in that list. Haven't heard 'folk roots, new routes', will check it out. Thanks for posting. Iain

I was going to write that I've stopped buying any more guitars, but then last Sunday I saw an advert on facebook marketplace for a Taylor Big Baby and I didn't resist.

Interesting pickup orientation. I'm guessing, but a) maybe its something like a Fishman Rare Earth Blend and he only wants to use the in-built mic, or b) he's fitted a really cheap under saddle transducer, and isn't using the sound hole pickup, or c) something else.

If the barre gives you grief, try just holding down the 6th string with your 1st finger and only playing the bottom four strings - like this 1 3 3 2 x x
or, if you can wrap your thumb around to hold the 6th string, you can play the bottom 5 strings 1 0 3 2 1 x

As delb0y says, E7 will work well. Also, try squeezing in an F just before the E7. Like this guy does

A great song from Aimee Mann from her wonderful album Mental Illness. There's a bit of waffle on this live performance and the song starts about 1 minute in.

I'm not keen to be honest. To my mind its way over-produced with all those strings and synth pads.

Oriental guitars can be excellent. I suggest you check out Eastman guitars (made in China) as the build quaity is very good. They have a wide range of models and pricing to suit every pocket, so you may find something to suit you. One of the biggest suppliers in the UK is Richards Guitars in Stratford.
One of my giggong guitars is an Eastman E10OM

I'm a big fan. He's made so many albums and tried many many different styles that inevitably some are not as good as others. FWIW, my favourite NY albums are Zuma, After The Goldrush, Rust Never Sleeps and, if I'm in the mood, On The Beach. Check him out.
