Singing helps.  Are you a decent singer.  As stated above, good strumming comes with a lot of practice for some of us.  Singing with it usually helps, but that too, takes practice.  Stick with it.  You'll notice yourself getting better.  I promise.  It has a lot to do with, not only playing and singing the song, but feeling the song as you do it. Another thing I do is put the pick down and finger pick a random pattern, thumb for top three strings and a finger for the bottom three strings.  Patterns are good, but random works.

I like the sound of E chord.

Thankyou for posting that Southpaw.  I have never heard of her, but I really like her style.  Someone else for me to follow.

Yes, Ravenlady, I should give Amy a break.   Buvvy, I agree with you on some of those.  Those were the days my friend.  I thought they'd never end.  Oh, and Mary Hopkins

this one might be right up there.

There is one female singer I have always liked.  Back in the hippy days.  A different voice, different style.  Melanie Safka.

I feel exactly the same as Upyerkilt.  I have never liked female singers that much.  I seldom buy any of their music.  Oh there are some exceptions, and there are many great female singers out there, however this Susan Tedeschi sounds great.  I must admit, I don't know her, but I do like her style.  I might buy her greatest hits.

I planted a lot of trees and bushes in my new home three years ago.  I watch them closely because I really need the shade in the summer, but that won't be for a year or two more.  I grow peppers and melons if I can keep the gophers away.  I also have a lot of flowers in the summer.

It has been my experience that most music shops don't mention the setup when you buy.  I don't know if it's that they just don't want the extra work or what.  I have also set mine up myself.  Just as long as you turn it in slow increments.  It can make a big difference.  Good luck. It sounds as if you got it right the first time.  Good for you.

Sounds interesting.  I would watch it.

You are in the Twilight Zone.  I've never had this happen, but thought I would post to keep it on top so admin won't miss it.  I'm curious, too.  Good luck
