Daryl - welcome to the best place for getting help from the friendliest people on the planet.
I am sure Scott has sent you to the right place. and I am sure he is an excellent mentor  for learning guitar.... after all - he is "the Metalizer"  and he has covered a couple of my songs really nicely and very cool!
Just like the three words that are the most important words in real estate are " Location,Location, Location"  the three words for guitar playing are " practice,practice,practice"
With that being said however, as a sports coach of over 30 years,  practice is only beneficial if you are practicing correctly and improving.  Make sure you get the right techniques to practice, because practicing the guitar the wrong way just reinforces bad guitar playing.   There are loads of guys and a few gals here that are terrific musicians that you can learn a great deal from... I'm not one of them, I just like to write songs:)
Anyway... welcome to the Chordie family.

How ironic

Last night after I got back from a softball game I drove up to Stewart's Convenience store to get Ice cream for the girl's on my team.  I had to wait for this guy in front of me at the cash register, who was having his tickets checked to see if they were winners. He is a good guy, I know him well (in fact a former student of mine) has a great little family and he works hard as a welder.  But I am not exaggerating, he must have had them check hundreds of dollars worth of tickets and scratch off.s  It took almost 12 minutes for the girl to scan them all. In the end- he won 9 dollars- and what did he do ?  Didn't take cash but more tickets. 

What also amazes me is when its the power ball at 150 million....people come out of the wood work to buy tickets.  Like if they won the weekly one at 15 million it wouldn't be worth buying a ticket but for 150 million its a bargain !

Nice poem EB, I enjoyed it!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and to Scott, Amy and Phill ( which will be posted as well soon) who all did beautiful covers, each in their own way - and all so very cool.

This is a link to the TV commercial I watched the night before I wrote this song, and what I was thinking of as I wrote it.

Angels are just people sometimes I believe.

Happy Anniversary Roger of the celebration of your 29th Birthday !

Amy

You were wonderful - it' was like I was listening to Jewel or Joan Baez.
Why you don't post like a million songs is beyond me - you are a wickedly ( in a good way)  gifted singer !
Thanks for the cover.

OMG

He must practice 23 hours a day. SSS and eat for 45 Mins  then record this for 15 mins.

Absolutely brilliant. I would need four hands two assistants, and a time machine to accomplish this.
What a superb musician.
He plays sweet child of mine as well - in which he plays two guitars - not an amazing feat - except of course UNLESS YOU'RE PLAYING THEM AT THE SAME TIME!
here's the link to it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok5d8nXAngw

I feel exhilarated and inspired after watching this, but also  depressed at the same time knowing that he can do that and I can't come remotely close.
I don't think it would matter what guitar he brings to a campfire - he can make a $15.00 guitar sing !

Thank you for sharing this TF - it was awesome!
