3 years old isn't that old Pete. Mine is 6 or 7. I have upgraded some stuff tho. I would suggest buying a sound card and installing it. It's easy to find an all around computer, but once you start looking in to specifics it gets harder to get what you want. I can' recommend what to look for as I am challenged in that area.

Southern California traffic. There is no reason we should have stop and go on the freeway. Everyone gets on, gets up to speed, and drives. I think that's pretty simple. But that's not how it works. Just blows my mind. Craig Shoemaker (a fav comedian of mine) has a line about being stuck on the 405 for an hour because there was a cup in the road. So sad, but true. It doesn't take much to ruin our freeway driving. I'm sure you've seen a tow truck on the side of the road before, so there's no need to slow down to lookey loo at it. Keep moving!!!!

People who always think that someone else is the problem. I have friends like this. I just want to tell them, "maybe it's you."

Neighbors who like to party waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay after curfew so I have to go tell them to quiet down. I had to deal with this for a couple years. Gets me heated just thinking about it. It's midnight, turn your crap music off and stop laughing at the top of your lungs. Move your dumb ass inside. Urghhhhhhhhhh!!!! A few times the guy told me that the party wouldn't start until 10 pm because his homies work graveyard. How does that make sense to you fool?

People who smack when they eat. Drives me bonkers!

That's a good place to start. Like Roger said, you need to be familiar with the song. Typically if each chord is 1 measure then your strum would coincide with that.

Example: Take your D DU UDU that you had. Assuming that it is a 4/4 song, your strum would count, 1 2& &4&.
                                                                                                                                             D DU UDU

So that strum would be a full measure. Strum this pattern once thru for each chord.

Hope that makes sense.

DJ, in your theory you have one too many O's in the first word.

I think most of us believe in the power of music. Be it healing, brain development, or something else. Funny, as I started reading the article I thought of learning diff languages. As we all know, music is another language, if you read it that is. And learning to play an instrument stimulates the brain to the nth degree. Just another article to back up the fact that music should not be cut from schools.

Thurs?!?! We can't wait 'til Thurs!!! This isn't a cliffhanger episode in some tv series. Inquiring minds want to know.

Glad you got the yes you were looking for.

Coleman was a diff division in another location.  I was a drafter for Fleetwood so I didn't actually build them, just drew plans on a computer. If you notice all the little warning labels, realize they are there because someone did what they are telling you not to do.

Lots of great advice in there DJ. All guitar virgins should be given this type of advice.

ONLY a 2 1/2 hour drive?!?!?! Closer than you, but still a long drive.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, 6 strings give me enough trouble, I can't imagine adding 6 more.

Funny that her promise has been in the back of you mind for so long.
