Phill
Your Nana was a saint - she never knew you would  please so many people with your abilities and help poor souls like m along the way.
God Bless her!

Great Story !

Good one !  Loved the lyrical message in song.

It made me think  - it would be a great post for all chordie members to write  a little bit in a separate thread -  "The Day I got my 1st guitar"
I think I will give it a go and see what happens - could be interesting if people respond.     

seems like NZ is chiming in well, only one missing is easybeat !

this girl is really rally unique - her octave changes are superb

I don't know.  I just was strumming and writing.
I'm sure the music part needs lots of work.

I know this is odd bc i have more than 4 lines in the chorus

when I was writing this i just kinda plucked and strummed  - and it seemed to fit and sound okay

I don't know enough about music to adequately answer your question Phill.
I would take any suggestions you have or listen to any way you would think it should sound - you always seem to be able to adjust my songs in very nice way with a quite harmonious outcome.
Thanks for looking at it.

ps I had to look up the word unrequited - but now that I did - the answer is yes - you are spot on ( although the poor dude seems hopeful

Wow !
Wow!
Wow!

I just watched about 8 other videos of this girl. What a great guitar talent and fabulous and UNIQUE voice.  She will be a star I am sure.
Thanks for sharing this Peatle - it emphasizes exactly what Phill and others have stressed - you won't get good at playing the guitar without hours of practice and discipline.
I sincerely appreciated her dad as well - he has done it right ! KUDOS to him.     

It is a really good book.  I am sure you will enjoy it.

That poem is  a good one Peatle - made me smile !

Cheers to you and Maree for a Happy and Healthy New Year.     

Peatle,
Great writing .....  we are all connected.

If you have never read the book" The Alchemist" by Paulo Goelho - I would recommend it.
It is an easy read - so simple, yet so deep.
Thanks for the post !

RoundWound vs. Half-Round vs. Flatwound Guitar Strings

The profile of the wrap wire affects the tone and feel of your guitar strings.

    Roundwound guitar strings have a round external wire wrapped around a wire core. They offer the brightest sound, making them ideal for rock, country and some blues music (especially among lead guitarists). Their ribbed texture gives the strings more grip but also makes more “string noise”, which is noise created by moving one’s fingers against the strings.
    Half-round guitar strings, or half-wound strings,have a warmer sound due to the strings being round-wound, then ground down for a smoother feel. This reduces string noise when changing chords while retaining some of the roundwound string’s sound qualities. Think of half-round strings as a halfway or compromise between roundwound and flatwound strings.
    Flatwound guitar strings offer the warmest, most vintage sound of these three profiles. The flat ribbon wire provides the smoothest polished surface, practically eliminating string noise and making it easier on the fingertips. This string is perfect for performing anything from blues to jazz while remaining suitable for modern rock. The downsides are that flatwound strings are harder to bend and come in more limited gauge offerings.
