Profile of an acoustic guitar guy: The AGG can be found most often at college campuses and teen camps. The AGG is under the impression that he's very gifted when it comes to playing guitar, but in actuality is quite bad. He attempts to cover this up by singing and occasionally flipping his long hair, so long as it's not in his favorite hairstyle, the man-bun. His rolled pant legs and flip-flops are a desperate attempt to communicate that he doesn't care. The ultimate success to an AGG is acquiring a group of girls with low self-esteem and no musical talent, so that they are unable to recognize that he is really not great at guitar.
"Crap. All I wanted was coffee, but now this Acoustic Guitar Guy is going to impose his lousy music on me."

A guitar that has 12 strings, 3 bass strings, 3 tenor strings, and 6 octave strings that pair with each string. Each octave string is tuned to the same key as it's other string, but also remain an octave higher. They create a rich and powerful sound that pairs good with loud and forceful singing, and is commonly used by buskers and professional performers. All tunings of course work with these, but the common and most effective tunings are standard tuning, and are commonly tuned to key of D, C, and B, tuning.
