Yeah, wlbaye, I had forgotten about that one.  I love Neil Young anyway.  And you're right about looking them in the eye when you sing.  That's part of singing to her soul.  Thanks

Thought I would bump this up since it goes along with SongforSarah's request.  I guess I am not alone trying to find good love songs.

Welcome Steve.  You sound like you're doing fine.  Practice your chord changes a lot.  There are a lot of chords there to play lots of songs.  Add a new chord once in a while as you come across them.  It'll come to you in time.  The more practice, the better you get.  Good luck and let us know how you are doing from time to time.

That song was always a favorite of mine.

Get used to it, Syd.  That is the way life is going to be forever.  You will run into this kind of problem for the rest of your life.  Just look at it as a learning tool on how to cope with business, jobs or anything else you do in your life.  Good luck.  You'll get it straightened out.

You mean to say my ex wife is your mother in law?  Small world.

Welcome.  Always happy when someone new comes in here.  The best advice is stick around here to see what you can learn and practice, practice, practice.  With lots of practice everyday, if you can, you will see and hear a difference over time.  Good luck.

When you write the lyrics and chords the chords are written between the lyrics, but the Chordpro program puts them above the lyrics.  I'm not sure that explains it for you.

Here are a couple more.

You can certainly do it anyway you are comfortable with that makes basic music, but I also wouldn't advise you to start with the shortcuts because it will be very hard to undo later on.  I use short cuts with B and Bm and they sound good with my singing, but I never try to learn the right way because I have gotten too used to doing it the wrong way.  Try to push yourself up front and hang in there.  With practice, it will all become easier before you know it.  And do cut your nails.  If I don't cut mine regularly it makes it harder to play without really noticing it.  When I cut them, it is very noticeable.  Dolly Parton plays with very long nails and I never did quite figure out how she holds down a chord with them, but I am sure it would take a lot of extra practice to get that down correctly.  Just another obstacle in your way while learning.

Yeah, you're right, Wlbaye.  I sure do admire those who just pick up the guitar and play almost anything you name.  They just have what it takes and I don't.  Like I said, I'm OK with it.  I just get my notebook full of songs out and start playing.  No one seems to mind.
