you might try tunning your guitar to the recording first and capo if you need to

do you prefer to be on top or on the bottom?

ok "fantacies fade when reality opens up your mind"......

got a great book on it the thumb is refered to as the " pulgar" and I for indice(index) m for medio (middle) and a for anular(ring) travis pickin is used extensivly by many of the top country and folk artist it was a frustrating style to learn at first but with perserverence it paid off i feel a lot more comfortable  with this style it was worth the effort

the bo diddly beat brings to mind african tribal rhythems this is not a racial comparison only a point of reference the same can be said for latin american rhythms or the boingings of a diggeredoo the instrument from australia a good example of native rhythems is the drummer gene krupa true he was stoned most of the time but he ushered in a exceptance of this form of rhythem because he was cauacsion there were other drummers who played the same like cozy cole but because they were not caucasion there popularity was reastricted to the afro american populace and thru the years this rhythem has become the norm.

Slap and pick or strum creating a rythem by slapping the guitar in between beats of a measure used extensively in flemenco and some latin folk songs as well as american folk songs I had a vidio tutorial i made of it on u tube a while back

I learned by ear at first but the faster way to learning harmony is to understand the major c scale and the intervals there is a section on chordie about theory moderated by jerome who is one of the best theory teachers ( other then myself ) actually I think he's a little better and he will point you in the right direction good luck

I woulden't go so far as to say he "invented" the rock and roll sound because chuck berry was around at the same time along with little richard,jerry lee lewis,buddy holly,link ray and a host of others.If I recall bo diddly had only one hit "hey bo diddly" i cant recall any others but chuck berry and little richard spearheaded the rock and roll movement and the rest jumped on the band wagon it could be argued that bill haley and the comets were the first published and public recorded artist with 'rock around the clock" I was a teenager when rock and roll first came out and I remember doing the "bop" at sock hops at the high school similar to back to the future movie and I remember bo diddly with his flying v and tremelo sound and all i can remember is his one song that hit the top of the charts if anyone can point out another feel free

the audacity program is the way to go, as far as how to get it into your pc to use this program your going to need some kind of recorder with left and right rca outputs and a chord that has 2 rca jacks on one end an a single sterio plug on the other that plugs into your pc mic input you have the option of recording all the tracks and mixing them in the recorder and feeding this into the audacity program and it will convert it to a mp3 file or you can send 1 track at a time and use the audacity program to mix i prefer mixing it first and sending it to audacity it arrives as a sterio recording and final editing can be done lile fade in or fade out equalize compress ect....

well I was made in america
