This is a great group and as usual with a lot of groups some of their instruments are interesting. The drummer was great. Good singing and a lot of fun to watch.

Welcome to Chordie. Chordie is a search engine and that are wrong mean the site that actually hosts the song has it wrong too. I looked  and you are correct that Neil Diamonds Solitary Man is wrong.

Here is the same song listed by someone else and is the same Solitary Man:   https://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www. … 12127.html

Bill every one knows Moonlight Sonata. Version 2 and 3 although I play them on a classical when I have done all 3 in a concert everyone thinks I am combining 3 different songs. As far as each play on an electric guitar it sounds good but the finger pressure is much less because it is amplified.  She for using a pick did do herself proud. It is not any easy verse.     

Roger 11 years ago you had and still have a great voice. Nice job on this one.

I actually started on classical guitar when I was 15.  I took  lessons from one instructor for two years and after my recital he came to me and said her could teach me any more and an very good  classical guitarist who normally did not teach heard my instructor and he  came to listen to my recital. So I traveled twice a week to work with this new guy who said he take me to the next level. I took from him for two years and he gave what pieces he wanted me to play at a recital and wanted me to play for at least an hour. After that he said all I need was to play every second I  could and I have done that and through  6 years in college I still spent time playing. Through a 35 year career I still   played and sometimes it was very late at night when I played. So I retired very early so I could play, do more concerts, and have never charged someone who I believe could be good and can not afford to pay for lessons. So I read music to play classical guitar  and do no play piano.

I admit I am surprised more of great members don't read music. When I take new students the first thing I tell them is to forget what they taught themselves if they want to learn. Second we spend sometimes up to 3 months learning how to read music, play from music sheets, and correct timing. Only then do we start playing.

I usually play from music sheet, although I can play from chords, riffs, or Nashville numbering. With true classical guitar playing from music sheets is the only real way to play. I know I am to odd man out here. I still admire how many play well from Chords and some of them require a spread of your left hand that requires lots of talent.

I use sheet music when learning a new song . These sheets also show melody, fingering, and timing.  How many  Chordie members can also read music?

You might have noticed he uses a white thumb pic k. The way he plays it sounds good, but it is not the way I play it on classical guitar, or the same way Mason Williams played it. The correct way to play Classical Guitar takes exactly  3 minutes and 9 seconds.

I do not use anything.  James Taylor calls his finger biontic.  What he does is grows his nail out but also uses a fiberglass mesh and after applying it he puts many coats of nail hardener on each nail. When he is on tour he carries a kit that has both in it for any breakage. He said he has used that same technique for many years. The mesh he uses I believe he said once it was a medical grade mesh. It works for him so it also might work for some others too.
