Now you're gonna go and get all techno on me. 
I'll play with both you and Roger's instructions and see which on is the easiest to figure out. Not sure how far I'll get tonight though. The Mets are working on wrapping up their bid to go to the World Series. 4-0 NY in the first inning. 
Naomi sent me 20 pics tonight. I don't have them all loaded to flickr yet but here are a few.
Sorry. I don't know what happened. I'll try to embed them again tomorrow night. It's past my bedtime.
It so much sounds like more practice is needed.
All good advice from Doug, with the above quote probably being right up there near the top. Sheer repetition will build the muscle memory to make quick, smooth changes.
Something else you could try would be moving up the neck from the F barre to the G barre to the A barre. I'm assuming you already know this but just in case you don't, G is at the third fret and A is at the fifth. Your finger structure remains the same but you need to lift them slightly off the neck. You'll be changing chords with very little finger movement and your brain will begin to remember the shape.
I got the audio files from Peter today. Here's a link to the page where he hosted them. There are several that aren't on any of the videos.

OK. All I need a title for is #12.
Nope. Never went to Starbucks.
Of course I don't drink coffee so that might have something to do with it.
I have 16 of the 20 vids up. Half of them I don't know the name of the song. If someone (Zurf, Amy) would like to attach a name to a number I'll fix that.
OR grab some photos and those sound files play with your new movie software (see your email for clarification).
Got your email. Thanks.
The one that's giving me the hardest time is 8:25 and 750MB. That's almost twice the size of the hard drive on my first computer.
I'm going to load all the smaller files and then I'll play around with the Movie Maker. Yes it is already loaded on the computer. I want to get as many as I can uploaded before I venture into something unfamiliar. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computer stuff.
I just emailed Peter about the audio files. I'll let you know when I hear back.
There are 6 new ones up now.
ETA:
Once everything is loaded I want to go back and put in the names of all the songs instead of the numbers that came off the camera. I could use some help in that department.
I see seven videos so far. I keep coming back every day... no rush though. I know it'll take some time to get them all up there!
I sent you an email yesterday.
I can't get anymore to load. I was hoping it might just be an individual file but I can't get anymore to upload. One will load but then won't process. Another one will load to 90% with 1 minute remaining and then stop. I even left that one run all night. 7 hours later it was still at 90% only it now said 23 minutes remaining. I verified my account with Google so I could load videos longer than 15 minutes but the longest one is just under 9 so that shouldn't even be an issue.
Who had the sound recorder? I wonder if they got any good recordings compared to the videos!
That was Peter. He usually sends me audio files of us within a day or 2 but I haven't heard from him yet.
A couple more things.
Amy, You left your cookie container behind with 8 cookies in it. I'm sorry to say that the cookies didn't survive but your container is setting in the dish drainer wishing it was filled again.
Here is a pic I missed last night.
When Zurf left at some ungodly hour Sunday morning, he wrote a little note for me and left it in front of the microwave.
I'm a bit late too.
Happy Thanksgiving Day! to all our friends north of the 49th parallel.
OK. I've got the channel set up. The first video is loaded and another is working on it. I'll probably only get one more done tonight but everything I have will be uploaded this week. I think there's around 20 songs
Here is a link to the channel:

By the way- Nice pics Zurf and Amy. I made a new folder on the puter and added them to it.
Thank you!
When whatshername who said, "I'm silent in the morning. Don't worry about me," got up about 7:20 (not the 5:00 they said) and cracked me up with her idea of silence, I decided to pack up.
Yeah, quite a character that one. She rolls in at 10:30PM blowing her horn like it's a bugle rousing the troops.
I can't believe I didn't wake Joe - at least when breaking down the cot next to his head.
I must have been REALLY tired! When I woke up a little after 8:00, I couldn't hardly believe I was alone in the room. I asked myself; "How in the world did Zurf get out of here without waking me up?" I was literally laying right next to him.
The coffee was hot and good.
This really perplexed me. We bounced a couple emails back and forth and he asked me what the coffee situation was. As it turns out, I'm not a coffee drinker. There is some freeze-dried there but I learned that to a true coffee connoisseur, freeze-dried isn't really coffee. So Zurf offered to bring along his coffee pot and coffee; which he did, and then left without having any.
But he didn't just bring a coffee pot. He bought a new one as well as, I think, a 1lb bag of coffee. In essence he told me that it is illegal in Pa to have a camp without a coffee pot. So now I have one. Thank you Zurf. By the way, I gave the coffee to Amy to take home since I don't think it has a very long shelf life after it's opened. I'm sure they will put it to good use. I'll just buy some the next time the need arises.
I'm not sure who all was involved but when I wasn't looking a few folks cleared off the outside tables and put all the leftovers in the fridge. Thanks to all of you.
I'm glad folks enjoyed themselves. I know I did. Scott called me Sunday night just to tell me he really enjoyed the day. He loved Zurf's songs, Amy's voice and in particular, Stephanie playing guitar and singing. He asked when we were going to do it again.
I've downloaded all the video files that Doug took. A big thank you to him for doing that. I had to ask our resident computer guru (MKM) how to go about creating a separate YouTube channel. She got me straightened out so I'm going to do that later tonight and start uploading the files. Once it's done I'll post the link in this thread.
And one more big Thank You to throw out there. Jim (MKD) offered to come back in the spring and help me finish the addition on the camp. I've had 4 different people look at it this year and tell me they would get back to me with an estimate. Not one did. That is a very generous offer that I will think about over the winter.
Glad to see you made it home safe and sound. I just got home about half an hour ago.
I was a little busy and didn't take many pics but here are a couple until Amy gets settled in at home.
Here is mekidskid doing a song with her mom and Lorraine on the right doing a little drumming for them.
And here is (from left to right) mekidsdad, Scott, one of my playing partners, Lorraine hiding behind Scott playing the congas, Peter, my other partner in the tie-dye and my brother Bill.
I'm headed up tomorrow early afternoon. After that I won't be able to get back to this thread. If anyone else is interested and didn't get an email, let me know by tomorrow morning. I'll shoot an address you directions.
I was about 3 years into the guitar when I picked up a 12'er. It definitely required an adjustment. The neck was wider and I really had to work to get all the strings to ring. But after a couple weeks I had it down fairly well. Even bouncing back and forth between the 6 and the 12 got easier after a few months. I played it almost exclusively for the next couple years. I left it home when I hit the road for tour season. Didn't want to take a chance on damaging it. Still have it and play it fairly often. I took it to NY in August and Roger serenaded us with it.
Great Pics Amy! It was cloudy here so I didn't get to see much of it
Yeah, completely overcast here for our viewing pleasure. But I was fortunate enough to have crystal clear, dark sky for an eclipse in Feb. of '09. I took these through my 14mm telescope.
Really sorry to leave you all hanging, but as you may have gathered, I am not getting anywhere fast with the Great British Health system. I finally got an appointment through to see the specialist (at the end of October!), which allowed me to go back to my dentist to apply for a quicker appointment. But I'm still waiting for this to come through. So, unless I hear in the next few days (or magically feel a lot better), my trip is looking pretty unlikely. But not impossible!
Well that's unfortunate but the health comes first.
OK. Two weeks out. I'm going to send emails this week with an exact address and directions. If you don't receive one and were planning to attend, let me know in this thread. I'll get one out. Dirty Ed, are you still floating around here?
One of the locals just had his schedule changed and has to work that weekend but there are still 4 of us.

22 playable ones.
I believe you need to pack a few acoustics up and bring them to PA. in two weeks.
You need help Joey.
/\ What he said. /\
Enjoy your new toy.
Which string do you have break most often? Or maybe a better question would be; Have you ever had a wound string break?
And yes there is a reason I ask.
Welcome to the forum Heidi.
Nice!
And it looks a lot better in your hands than in the generic photo at the top of this thread.
May you have many years of sore fingers breaking it in.
he was an American Icon and great spokesman for baseball
And he was the manager of my beloved NY Mets during my high school years.
RIP Yogi.
