That doesn't work for this song.  It's in E but uses a D shape at the fourth fret to get the E in an alternate sound, which then drops back to B, but the Bsus4 is off the main E shape.  It's a pretty easy shape that'll just take some practice.

I've forgotten my talent, my cues, and my lines.

Don't take offense at Gutaardoc's capital letters.  English is not his native language so he's already making an extra effort to converse with us, and he also has some health issues that can limit his dexterity making proper typing difficult.  I'm sure no offense was intended.

Big Wheel by Jim Croce is about a trucker trying to stay rolling.  He could be topless.  It's possible. 

I'm pretty tired, else I'd be all over such an invitation but wearing pieces of paper over my sunglass lenses with the screen turned off.

About once a month.  I agree with both suggestions from Wayne and Pete.  When changing strings, loosen them until there's no tension at all and then loosen them some more to get "play", push the string down into the body of the guitar by hand, pull the pins out with the winder thingy.  Remove the string, loosen it from the tuner, then lay it aside. 

I usually loosen all six of mine first, then go back and do the second loosening to get slack in them, and then remove all six laying the pegs out in order so that I can put them back into the same hole.  By doing this, I can inspect and thoroughly clean the entire fretboard at once. 

You don't want to leave a guitar without strings for long.  Once it's cleaned up (a few minutes task), then put the strings back on.  I usually go from low to high.  When first installed, I tighten the strings only until starting to get a tone.  I do all six that way.  Then I come back around a few times tightening them up a little at a time until it's in tune.  I retune frequently for the first couple hours until I'm barely making adjustments after 1/2 hour of rest.

I like www.justinguitar.com and www.yourguitarsage.com.  Youguitarsage has just released a new comprehensive course that's a pay service.  I've checked out his free intro offerings, and he moves slowly, carefully, and explains each motion and step thoroughly.

Hooooooweeee.  It's getting wicked out there.  I'm surprised that we still have power.  This may be my last post for a while as I expect to lose power any moment.

Well, it's been pretty quiet in Virginia so far.  We're getting rain and wind of course, but not like what we were told to expect.  The worst is yet to come for us.  I hope all our Chordians in the Delaware, New York, New Jersey area are able to remain safe and relatively comfortable.

Best of luck.  Once you're well enough, please write to tell us how you are.
