Re: How is it physically possible to play a B chord? (28 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Your wish is my command! I will title it "Amnesty" and it will be in the key of Eb (just kidding) as you wish, in "D" with All open chords and I will request some assistance from the recording forum network for the keyboard and bass tracks (my keyboard is kaput)from the signup roster and compose the lyrics and chord changes this week

Evil B Chord Amnesty!!!! My life has just improved tremendously!
OK, so Russell are you going to write a new song as a follow up to Zurf and the Evil B titled B Chord Amnesty. If so, I recommend writing it in D with all open chords. :-)

Re: AUTUMN IN WISCONSIN (18 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Geo I have lived on the east coast and Hawaii,Alaska,just about everywhere in the continental U.S and Wisconsin to me is the most beautiful of them all. There's something about the seasonal changes that seem to affect your mood.Winter in Wisconsin can be really brutal,cold and up to your waist in snow but it is a time for getting acquainted with some home studies like music or maybe taking a few courses,reading ect.. but there are some who love winter for skiing or snowmobiling,ice skating and there is a lot of outdoor activity like ice fishing, but spring is the promise of new life,I remember a line from a song I wrote "seasons keep changing right before your eyes,casually amazing but unnoticed in the night" this about sums it up and autumn is the most spectacular of them all its where nature gets to show off its artistry,aah life is great

Re: can anyone help me? my left arm is fused... (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
You have a very difficult hurdle to get over and only you know the limitations of what you can or cant do,there are other options like slide guitar where you could lay the guitar on your lap and tune the guitar to a chord it might take some getting used to but with time and practice you can pick out melodies I say this because that's the way I learned how to play slide guitar and there are several different tunings you can use but I hope you find a way to play the guitar the way you want, maybe someone can offer a suggestion good luck with it

Re: How is it physically possible to play a B chord? (28 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Zurf glad you still like "a few to many" I still keep it on youtube for sentimental reasons and regarding the evil B chord substituting a B7 is fine, music is not an exact science and many songs are left to interpretation so play it any way that you can. I grant you mutant amnesty "long live the mutants"
Zurf wrote:

Thats called cheating , and not allowed. Sit on the naughty step .
I'll take my time on the naughty step, but I'm still going to 'arrange.' Russell Harding (our own original Chordian Mutant) taught me the trick he mentioned here in an e-mail. It's nifty, but still doesn't work for me. Another fellow tried to get me to bridge all three strings with my ring finger in a 'double barre.' I punched him straightaway. He had it coming, don't you think?
It's Russell's song "A Few To Many" that I started using the B7 on and found that it works pretty well in most circumstances. Still love that song Russell! And I use the open fingering for B7, none of this switching a barre chord for another barre chord garbage. If I can't go to an open chord, it's just not worth playing. Except F and F#m shaped chords. I'm finally getting those. The A shape barre chords are unfair, unwise, unnatural, and wholly unlikely. They are, flat-out, evil.

Re: LEAD GUITAR (19 replies, posted in Recording)
Its kinda like disciplined letting it all hang out that's the way I would describe it and if you have to think about what lead your gonna play next it will sound to mechanical, soloing to me is like painting a picture I close my eyes and let it fly eccept on lead solos that are arranged.
