It looks like it would be great, but then again, cutting into someone elses would scare me.  However, I am sure you will do a good job.

I keep a humidifier in my guitar all the time here.  Its a good cheap way to keep the wood from cracking.

Hey that's a pretty good deal.

A guy is driving around the back woods of Lubbock, Texas, he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale ' He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.   The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

'You talk?' he asks.

'Yep,' the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?'   

The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA.. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.'   

'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.''I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

'Ten dollars,' the guy says.

'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'

'Because he's a liar. He never did any of that crap.

You'll do great, Guiatrpix.  That sure is a lot of beer to drink playing all that time.  Nerves are normal.  They make you do better.  Good luck.  Do let us know how it went.

If it isn't a constant struggle, you probably aren't pushing yourself enough.  I have been playing for many years, off and on. (Mostly off).  I, too, struggle at learning new things on guitar.  Especially picking.  You do have to push yourself and practice a little every day.  You will find yourself getting better over time.

It's hard to pinpoint one favorite album, but .....  Eric Clapton, From the Cradle is a great one.

Happy Birthday.  I will drink with the crowd to honor your special day.

I do the same thing.  I find myself going through my song list and playing part of the song, then moving on to the next one.  I try to play different songs each time I sit down, though.  It's pretty common.

Whatever works for you and sounds ok is good.  I do ok with B7 except my pinky finger is slow on the bottom string, but I can play it without the pinky and it sounds fine to me.  Lots of us cheat on different chords and we get through fine.

My daddy left home when I was three.
He didn't leave much for Ma and me.
