Re: Advice / Opinions please (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Just use what sounds good to you. You might even try a G7, that's pretty close and should sound alright.

Re: I have classical gas in my bowels (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Classical Gas is a favorite of mine. From the time it first came out, I loved it. As a matter of fact, I am trying to learn it now. I am a very slow learner on things like this, but I am trying.

Re: what key is your best key? (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
D and G for me because that's where I find more comfort for my voice. I can change voice octaves in the middle of a verse, but I don't like to do if I don't have to. Unless I'm singing Roy Orbison or Jay And the Americans.

Re: guitars in tune (10 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Both my Fender and Martin stay in tune pretty well. I notice they tune down a bit after a few days and just a small adjustment gets them right back in usually.

Re: What chordie means to me (20 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I visit lots of sites looking for guitar music throughout the week, but Chordie is the one I visit mostly because it has most of what I am looking for and lots of great people to talk to. I visit Chordie every day to see what is new. It is just the best all around site out there.

Re: Playing and singing (20 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Yes, winrick, I sing pretty good too, but I have to transpose a lot of songs to sing them at a level I am comfortable with. It works great.

Re: More than chords? (7 replies, posted in Acoustic)
It's always a good thing to try different styles. I'm like you. I play chords and sing. I find it very hard to do melodies on the guitar. This is only because I don't try enough. I am just happy I can sing fairly decent along with the chords. I am starting to branch out like you and try other things, but after so many years of the same thing, I find it hard to get the grasp of picking something. Man, there goes that practice thing again.

Most people who use these phrases a lot probably don't realize they are doing it, until someone points it out to them.

Re: DO YOU FEEL PAIN IN YOUR HEART. (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have given 3 guitars to young relatives who were interested in trying their hand. In each case it was an old, not expensive guitar and I bought a newer better one for myself. I missed my old guitars, but as long as they were learning with their new gift, I was happy. In a couple of cases the kids got them and practiced for awhile and then just sat them in the corner and never picked them up again. I wasn't too happy about that. One grandson put stickers all over it and that made me a little mad.

I know a lot of people who use these phrases constantly. It irritates me because I hear them during their normal converstaions. It just becomes a bad habit. I guess it is what is is, right SouthPaw?

Re: A Date With Carenza and Heavy Horses. (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I practice at different times of the day. 15 minutes here a half hour there. I like to practice alone in my bedroom. I am trying to learn Classical gas, but it is very hard for me. It's a slow learning process for me. I have just barley learned the intro and now I am trying to get it up to speed. When I get that down, I will proceed to the next part. It really feels great when, after having trouble with it for a few weeks, I finally get it. It's a good feeling. And I sit there and wonder why it took me so long. Now, I make it a point to playthe part I know evrytime I sit down. Just to keep in practice.
