Thanks for askin' !

I play in Barres all the time on acoustic..... not as often in Bars though.  I'm totally behind what that Bald Guitar Fellow said !!  Most of our (including me) problems with finger placement and clean sounding chords/notes can be directly attributed to poor habits formed while we were still learning. (some of us get to blame arthritis though)....   Get the posture right and thumb well behind the neck, practice in short sessions often, and it will all come together.

Edited to Add:  Try to learn to form your "first position" open chords without using your index finger also. the A,D, E, G, C, and minor shapes are mobile up the neck with the addition of the "index finger Barre" and it might make transitions into and out of Barred forms easier down the road.

Welcome Back Buddy !!  It's been awhile since you have "graced" our pages..... How ya' been?

I can sure visualize that and it does sound like a good instrument!  I'm pleased with the inclusion of bindings (wood or laminate) as it not only protects the corners from dings, but is really needed to stabilize a solid top against cracking.  I would include a truss rod for future adjustments, and "consider" a "string through" saddle (no pins) so one could widen the nut slots and string to nylon easily and "tool-less" string changes for everybody.  Radius fretboard? Something like a 10-12" radius? 14 fret to the body in that short scale length.  I also agree no on-board electronics.... pick-ups are easily added later and there are good ones that don't need batteries (ask Amy about K&K).

Another plus is likely no interest.... AND most importantly, you get to actually look it over up close and personal, maybe play a tune or two before you end up signing at the door only to find out "it don't fit!".

Good One Bill !!

Welcome to Chordie!!

Scott is a good guy, and you have come to the right place for encouragement on your journey.  There are folks hanging around here that range from beginning "back-porch players" to professionals (as in doing this music thing for an actual living!), and all the stuff between.

Good advice so far, but the most important in my view.... is never...never be shy about asking questions, 'cause the answers are golden!

Welcome Aboard!

Thought I'd toss this one into the mix.... Calum Graham, another of those fine talented Fingerstyle players from up North.  This tune a little bit cross genre but really showcases this young man's versatility and talent !!

Enjoy!

Well, being partial to Ovation guitars and trying to stay under that price threshold (the Composite Acoustics is a GREAT suggestion TF!).
I would be looking at something like Ovation in a full depth "Balladeer" body (standard "round hole).  I travel with my Ovation 15 hole all the time and over  almost 9 years of wandering have not had to adjust the action once.  The Applause is lower cost, still has the fiber composite body, laminated top, channel reinforced neck, grover style 18:1 tuners, string through bridge, and radius fretboard (which makes it easier to transition from "most" electrics).
This thing has been impervious to the heat of the Arizona desert, frost of the Pacific Cascade mountains (in the dead of winter), humidity of the beach on a misty/foggy day,  passed around it's share of campfires without suffering, and flown in the overhead and once in the cargo hold of several airlines.   http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CS244

The Applause branded version is a little less expensive but still a highly playable model with good tone and projection.... and BTW the price has really come down over the last 9 years!!!

I got it!  Something about numbers?  My German is not that good but I remember the tune (AND it's stuck in my head, you cruel  cruel perzon).
But I have my guitar right here, and a Whole Index of musik which is not that, so maybeeee..... after a few different tunes, I might actually be able to get some sleep tonight.

Thanks Bill !!   

Howdy Kevin,  Back when Russell Harding was putting this section on the "Chordie Map", and before it appeared officially in this Forum. He wanted something that was easy to use, supported multi-track mixing, and would allow importing of popular sound files for backing etc..... the "Free" price was a really a bonus.  Russ & I discussed this a lot in those early days and after trying other similar programs, kind of decided that Audacity was the one we would recommend.  Cross platform compatible, not too much of a resource hog, and, did I mention FREE !!

There are others... and over the years Audacity has become more robust, but there are tutorials here on Chordie, and the learning curve is not too steep. So to get your feet wet it is still my "go-to" program.  As you get into it more you might want to move up into something like Reaper which has loads of effects you can play around with (Audacity also uses VST plug-ins you can add).  Plus did I mention the FREE part? !! ?

Sorry Bill, but as you said, the file is RTF which is a text document not a sound file.  Your windows word application should be able to open it although some formatting will likely be changed (perhaps the chords won't align exactly to the words) but then you can save it as a .doc file.  Then all you have to do is have someone perform it and record it in .wav or MP3..... Then you can upload it.

Not what you wanted to hear, I'm sure!
