Re: Cheating with chords? Newbie guitar choice? (33 replies, posted in Acoustic)
You know, I've had about 8 or 9 guitars in my life and I've always given the old one to some youngster wanting to learn. The last few years, though, I have been keeping two on hand just for shucks and grins. Now if I get a new one, I keep the two newest and give away the third one. Anywhere I can help bring music into someones life. As for a frayed G string, whoa!! I'd post a pic of me playing in a frayed G string, but I would probably be banned. ![]()

Re: So, I'm new to the guitar... (10 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Yes, you'll make it norhterndownpour. Like they said, find songs you like first of all. Ones you know the words and melody to and just start strumming away and singing. And practice as often as you can. Try to practice at least once a day for 10 or 15 minutes minimum. You'll be surprised as time goes by how you satrt doing songs better. Good luck, bud.

Re: The sixth string is the thickest string ? (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Yeah, just lay the guitar flat on your lap and count from top to bottom. That's one smart teacher. It's all relative.
That is if you are right handed, of course. The guitar is a strange instrument when it comes to string layout and chord diagrams.

I like Roger Miller. I had never heard River in the Rain before. I like it. We used to play Cug a Lug in the car for the grandkids when they were little. They still love that song.

Oh, him, he's just another one of those people who were born with a guitar in their hands. Probably never practiced a day in his life. You name a song and he just starts playing it from memory. Imagine that! It must be easy to do because he's making it look easy.

Re: Complaint. sort of (29 replies, posted in Acoustic)
These guys have it right. When most people say it is an easy song, they are probably just strumming and singing. That's mainly what I do and most of the songs are easily recognizable when I do them. If you want to play exactly like the original, then it will be harder. You may be a perfectionist and there is nothing wrong with that. Just know that it will take you longer to learn a song. We each have our own picture of happiness. Don't be too tough on yourself. And good luck, whichever way you go.

On the other hand, even if you don't do it well during the serenade, she will like it that you gave it a shot anyway. And as someone else earlier said, look into her eyes when you sing.

Re: Can anyone sing?? (21 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Fortunately, I have a pretty good voice. Sang in high school choir and quartet for 4 years. I can hit the notes right most all the time. One of the things I find myself doing is when I sing a part of the song that is suddenly too high, I automatically drop an octave without a problem. Roy Orbison did this quite a bit in his songs. Anyway, singing is not my problem. Keeping the strumming going evenly with my singing is sometimes strained.
