Just this one for sure (and should be done prior to ANY major change in your system hardware or software)....... Do a FULL backup of your entire drive on another drive (ie: portable).  So IF you should desire to recover all the stuff that can get lost by accident, it won't be out in the ether.  I have heard of folks deciding to "unwind" their Windows 10 installation only to find that 10 did not archive all the old files, which makes "going back" difficult if not impossible.

Another that comes to mind is to be sure and run the hardware compatibility check (off the Microsoft website) to insure that all your drivers and such are supported by the new operating system.  I cannot imagine anything worse (other than losing all your personal data files, pictures, music, medical and Tax records) than installing a new OS and finding that your display etc. won't work so you are literally "shooting in the dark" trying to sort it back to where you started.

Really reachin'....?  Anything by Firefall, Strange Way is a good choice, not too difficult (except for that darn Bb, I use the barres).  If and when I drag one of their tunes out of the binder, most folks seem to not have heard them, so style changes are easy to get away with.

It's good to have goals.... mine is getting off tobacco by New Years.  Only vice I have, and I get irritable without..... Spammers Beware!!!

Passes?..... what passes?  Nothing but a big long stretch of Interstate (about 7 hours worth).  Used to have family up in Kent and Kingston that we would visit fairly often, then Brother Bill moved to Mesa AZ, and we moved Mom down to Portland to be closer to the family in her "older than me" years. Which brings to mind that we really should head that way for a visit real soon.... like before the real snow arrives.  Sometime in the Spring mjght work.

More like the "Collector"...... we could change your title?

Now back to the topic;  I also checked out several of your YT snippets, and agree you are worthy of the praise given.  I detect and am interested in what harmonizer you use??  Specifics please, as I have one but have not fiddled with it much for comparison's sake.

Thanks,  Doug

Yo Dino!  Looks like the Australia/New Zealand match is aired Saturday Morning 9:00AM on NBC here on the West Coast.

Bit early in the day for Beer and snacks..... but there is always coffee and Waffles!

Australia Vs New Zealand for the Final!   Set your schedule accordingly...... should be a well fought game, and a Historic Matchup as well.

See, you can get 4 quarters out of the Seahawks (contrary to popular belief).  But brother the offense on both sides were busting through!  Wilson and Kapernek were each sacked something like 6 times each, downfield coverage was excellent making it hard for either one of them to get off a decent pass.  Hence you hang around the pocket too long, you gonna' get spanked.

I stand corrected....... darn that phonics!!  But then again it does reinforce the adage that we don't pay enough attention to the spelling, as long as it has the right number of letters and the appropriate sounds at the beginning and end of the word.

Most coffee served here in the States would be refered to in Europe as "Cafe Americain", pretty much a 4oz demitasse watered down to something like 10oz ....... most barristas will be disgusted by the request, and some will refuse to serve it.

Starbucks, Dutch Bros., Java Joes, Coffee Culture, and many other expresso stands will have one of those expresso machines, and can put out a good cup if you order what you like (it's all in the "code" you see).  I'm not really a coffee snob, but we have two roasters here in my little town, Sivetz and Allan Brothers.  Along with all of the above mentioned vendors..... you can get spoiled, and beat up over pricing.  My preferance is good old "home Brew" fresh ground & run through a Krups drip.  I also have a small expresso machine for those occasional mochas, and guests, and can crank out a reasonable simile of a custom cup...... including the whipped cream!

For those that shop Costco, if you have ever bought the Kirkland 100% Columbian 3lb can (dark roast), it's fairly inexpensive, and roasted/ground and packaged by ...... wait for it..... Starbucks (their home base is Kirkland, WA)!!  So you may have had it and not known.  My advise is to buy whole beans, buy a grinder, and always use filtered (un-chlorinated low mineral) water, and refrigerate the beans to preserve freshness.

Cheers!  Time for a "warm-up".....

Well Jerome if you caught what the Cougars did to the Ducks yesterday...... you ought'a think about re-stocking the bar this week!  I forsee a nasty case of "the Moose Flu" in store for next Monday morning.

"Moose Flu"; adjective: the general feeling of illness that corresponds with a really late night consuming excessive quantities of distilled or other spirits with groups of jubilant people at the local Moose Lodge or similar venue. Most common after Holiday Weekends or following winning major sporting events, occasionally Concerts, Weddings, and Funerals.

Thanks for posting Lou, but in order to better locate a problem and solution we do need a bit more info from you.  Is it all songs, or just a particular one, and the artist and title if you please.  If it was a particular song book in the "public" group, which one?  More specific the better so we can duplicate your issue.

A quick general wandering around seems all as it should be running Linux on a Firefox browser, with ABP and Ghostery the current hardware is HP laptop.

Thanks again for reporting a problem, we can't fix what we don't know about.

Bax buddy!  You might want to just move this post into a new thread just to keep the "sticky" as small as possible, and to ensure that members get a reasonable chance to view your post.  We tend to ignore the "tinted" threads after having familiarized ourselves and new additions tend to be overlooked.

Another thing I noticed is that you are using the top down string numbering, which although you explained it in your post, is generally reverse of what a good bunch of the tutors out there are teaching.  IE: chord building on the 6th or 5th string root as in basic barre forms etc.  It's not difficult to grasp for more practised members, but might prove puzzling to novice and some intermediate players.  To me the ascending arpeggio in Gmaj, would naturally start on the 6 string (Bass E) 3rd fret (G) with the 1 finger (index) and go up the scale in order with each finger in turn in the fret it naturally resides in.  But then again I started out playing "classical", and although I'm getting lax in my old age and changing genres often still try to hang on to those structured techniques lest I lose the ability to make the "stretch".

I too am a firm advocate of scales as a way to learn the notes, and take it a bit further by naming the note while visualizing the sheet notation so that too becomes habitual.  I still can't "sight read" as quickly as some, but can pretty much find the correct note on the fingerboard from familiarity and interval.

It's all good!
