I can't speak for Canada, but that is where I bought my last guitar.  Online at Musicians Friend.  I highly recommend them for products and expert shipping, at least within the US.  I can't imagine it being any different for you guys.

This video looks pretty clear.  You just have to work up your finger strength, I guess.  Looks pretty neat.

I feel your pain.  I always enjoyed shoveling snow, even though it gave me a sore back for days afterward.  Now that I don't have snow anymore, I kinda miss it.  Take some Aleve and get back to it bud.  Let us know how you fare.

It's not wrong cam.  If I break for a day or two, I come back to it and usually actually play better.  I make less mistakes.  That song that was troubling, suddenly becomes clear. It surprises me when that happens, but it does.

I have never heard of Josephine.  Strange you always come up with something I haven't heard.  And it seems Betty Lou was also done by Neil Young.

And then the Hermans Hermits.  Used to love them.

I play every day, but some days just aren't the same.  If you've been playing a lot every day, try taking a little break.  This works for me.  And good luck.

A summer song is great.  Fairly easy to play.  It's on my list.  And I sure do remember Mitch Ryder.  Here is one of my favorite Michael Bolton tunes.

You will find all kinds of techniques to learn, but the best method of all is the one that works for you.  I might just try your method, because I am the same as you.  Been playing open chords for years.  Now it is hard finger them differently.  But, whichever method you try, like stated above, Practice, practice, practice.  I wish you the best of luck and hope your method works for you.

I never noticed the stiffness there before but you are right.  I guess a lot of the bands were kind of stiff in those days.  Like Freddy and the Dreamers.

That is sad, zurf.  My youngest daughters best friend was killed in a car accident last thursday along with her boyfriend and 9 month old son.  It is a reminder how precious life really is .. I was deeply saddened by this horrific event because it was so close to home.

I found this somewhere.  I was trying to come up with a difference between the two.  I don't know if it helps, but here goes.
Redneck: Rednecks are often rude and crude Southerners some times prone to violence, have proclivity (but not always) for Nascar, CERTAIN TYPES of Country music, and beer drinking. Can live in trailers, but not always. They are often mistaken for white trash but there's a difference. Rednecks are usually hard working and have jobs. White trash tend to be lazy. They are most likely blue collar. Not all rednecks are racists, but many are. But its also individual thing. They're not all loud and brassy, but many can be. So ironically, the southern redneck has more in common with the typical yankee than he realizes. Although there are northern rednecks too, but thats another topic

Hillbilly's: Hillbillies are Southern mountain folk. They are not rednecks. They dont live in the swamps or the bayous or the southern lowlands. They come from the hollers or the hills. They can be a bit rough around the edges. Unlike, rednecks, however, hillbillies are usually good natured, honest, friendly, fun loving, and just all around sweet people. Tend to be very forthright and individualistic. Mainly from their Scotch-Irish heritage. They just tend to lack education. But make up for it with their charming folksy ways.

Good for you Jody.  You are doing a lot better than me.  I don't have any videos out.  I am going to have to work harder at learning how to do it.  Good one.

It's a fairly common problem on the music sites.  I guess we just have to live with it.  It bothers me, too, sometimes when the info or artist is incorrect.  But, hey.....
