Good to see you again pastor.  lovely song by a lovely lady indeed.

Ah, now that we have determined that those of us who can't sing well have a rustic voice, we can now move on to bigger and better things.  Like my strumming.  Perhaps it too, is rustic.  I'm feeling better already.

Case closed.  You're on your way to bigger and better things.

i don't know them but any 60's band can't be all bad.

Great for you cameron.  I got my martin almost a year ago and still marvel at the sound.  Have fun and enjoy.

for those who have trouble with strum patterns, i'll tell you what I do.  first of all, I threw away my pick long agao and started fingerpicking.  now, before you wonder how you can fingerpick when you can't even strum correctly, here's what I have found to work.  I pick the top three strings with my thumb and the bottom three with my finger.  I alternate between thumb and finger at the speed I am comfortable with the song.  i call it random picking.  no pattern involved.  I found that on faster songs I can alternately pick pretty fast, just hitting random strings.  Or very slowly if the song calls for it.  of course, you can use finger picks on two fingers if that blows your skirt up.  this way the chords sound true no matter if it is a strum or picking action.  I also sing with my songs and this works great for me.  I think it sounds good.  it shouldn't take much practice to get this down.  just try picking slowly and singing the melody, then faster on faster songs.

Same as with a d.  you are only fretting three fingers and you learn to strum or pick just the bottom 3 or 4 strings when you play.  Em, you only strum the top set of strings. 
justasinger54, I just learned your wildest dreams 6 or more months ago.  it ends up being a pretty simple song to strum and play.  i love the Moody blues.  Always have.

yes, it does, but i'm happy enough with vista.  it works.  And I can still talk to you guys

thanks riddler, i'll check

Now guys, I'm going to have to buy me a new computer now with windows 7.  it's just so hard to keep up with the zurfs and badeyes.

i am assuming these are the correct chords, howver no lyrics.  Maybe you can match the lyrics with the chords and figure it out.  it's agood start anyway.

look at Bob dylan.  he did pretty well for himself with that scratchy voice.
