Re: A Couple of feel good Christmas Stories (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Good stories KAP. We can all learn a little from them. My wife walks our dog every morning and she came home the other morning and said, You know that little lady who walks everyday wearing the cowboy hat." I said, yes I've seen her. She said the ladys toes have paper coming out the toes and her toes are sticking out. She found out that they have hardly any furniture in their house and no car. We don't know what her husbands story is, but I said why don't we buy her a pair of tennis shoes and give them to her. So we did and my wife gave them to her this morning. The lady said this is the only pair of shoes I have. She was very greatful. She was wearing the new shoes this afternoon. Yes, we can always do something nice for others.

Re: IF YOU ARE HEALTHY YOU ARE RICH. (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have tried to imagine playing left handed. Even the strumming would be difficult. And as for holding down chords with the opposite hand, this would take, as tubatooter said, learning all over from scratch. Of course it can be done, but very slowly, I'm sure. We know it is a matter of finger memory, which would be very hard for most of us, to train those fingers to automatically press down the right strings in the right frets. I know you enjoyed playing in the past, and while relearning would be a huge ordeal, the satisfaction you would ultimately get would be well worth it. Have you tried playing left handed yet? The biggest thing you have going for you, as opposed to a brand new player, is that you already know the chords and strumming patterns. now, just training those fingers to move to the right place will take lots of practice. I don't envy you, but the sheer challenge and gratification and determination should spur you on. I wish you the best of luck. As for psychological problems, they are all just in your head. Being right or left handed is a brain issue, so it is psychological, as it turns out. So you may have a whole new set of problems to deal with.

Re: F chords (50 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Well, now I'm all confused. So, what I thought was a cheater F, is actually a real open F. Not to be confused with a Barre F, which is a true F. Also not to be confused with the F word, which sometimes slips out of my mouth when I try a true F.

Re: Struming sound problems. (14 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Well, that was good topdown. All these years i have been holding it wrong. no wonder i would rather play without one. I hold it with the point turned down the thumb, instead of out the side of the thumb. Will wonders never cease. Thanks for that. Just goes to show you, even the little things can make a big difference.

Thye only thing I can offer is, check how you are holding the pick. How much of it is exposed? Too much and you may get clicking sound.

Re: F chords (50 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I cheat on my chords much as Tiger Woods cheats on his wife. And i have found that I, too, can still lead a fruitful and happy life. And Like geo, I try barre chords once a day. I know once a day will probably never get me there, but......when I play and sing, never has anyone said, "Stop right there, you are playing cheater chords and I refuze to listen." Only professional players would comment on my use of chords and I almost never play in front of professionals.
