I need another guitar to have a high action so that I can start to learn slide more readily. I was thinking of a hollow body electric.

I'll send you my e-mail address. Send me a chord chart of a song you'd like me to try, and I'll try it. I can't promise it will sound anything like you expect, but I'll try it.

Edit to add: That guitar always sounds good. It's so nice, it practically plays itself. It's my Guild D40 Bluegrass Jubilee.  If you ever get the chance to play one, take it. The bass is deep, clear, and LOUD.  It sounds good strummed, fingerpicked, or flatpicked.  Absolutely wonderful guitar.  As for me, I'll just say that I'm glad you like it. To me, my voice sounds strained and off-key, but I am truly glad that you like it and I thank you for saying so. It's a real encouragement.

I really had been playing my Tak and decided I had to pull out the big dreadnaught to okay that one. It's not right to play a country rock song on anything else if there's one available.

Well, playing piano tunes on guitar isn't that easy either. While someone else may have put up the chords, you had to arrange the way in which you were going to play it. In my experience, with piano tunes, it's either try to replicate the feel or go a completely different way.  I usually do the latter, but I think you did a terrific job of arranging your playing approach to give the feel of Elton John's piano on that song. Not an easy task at all, even if someone else figured out the chord structure.

Thanks. I had a slip up in there, and probably should have kept going until I got it right. However, I approach recording as if we're sitting around a campfire, and I make a lot of mistakes sitting around the campfire.

Ha ha.  Amen to that!  Human jukebox.  :-)

WHAT?

Awesome!

I'm in touch with Pete on Facebook. I don't know why he doesn't post on Chordie.

Crime rate in Virginia Beach is kind of high, but very localized. Stay out of those areas, and the whole of Tidewater Virginia area can be very nice. A visit to the Police or a check of police blotters in the papers will let you know the areas to avoid.  One thing to know about Virginia Beach is that it isn't just Virginia Beach. You go seemlessly across borders into other towns with only a sign to mark them. Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, Chesapeake, etc.  It's generally thought of as "The Tidewater Region" in Virginia, with Virginia Beach referring literally to the beach and not usually the town.  It can be a bit confusing.

I've not been to Charleston, SC yet, but my company has an office there. The people who live there absolutely love it and wouldn't want to move elsewhere. I'm eager to visit the location.

I know nothing about Myrtle Beach.

Happy nude beer, er uh, New Year (except to Topdown, he'll probably do the former) to all of you.

I plan to be at home tonight and stay off the roads on Amateur Night. I hope all the Uber and Lyft drivers who are keeping others safe while earning a buck or two earn a whole lot of tips and stay safe themselves.

I'm going to see a movie and take my kids shopping to spend some of the gift cards they were given for Christmas and take advantage of the after Christmas sales. Then home and probably some picking.
