I think a good point here, and what amazes me is that some songs present a lifetime in just a few lyrics.  I guess you have to cut to the chase in songs sometimes.

That's the ones I use.  I have three notebooks.  One for country, one for rock and one for oldies and folk.  It keeps me pretty straight.  I like the color code idea though.  I have my songs separated somewhat like you do on my computer in SongBook.

Practicing alot always helps.  There will be times where you just can't get it, so you move on and come back to it later.  You will be better at it the next time.  I often get bummed out when I practice alot and just can't seem to get it, but it always comes to you over time.  Practicing is still the best medicine for everyone.  Never stop.  I'm glad you're getting it Sonnya.  Good luck and keep practicing.

I love old classic country myself.  It seems to be my favorite music these days.  And I also play fair.

You did good, Jeff.  I always like to hear stories like this.  It does your heart good to be able to make people at home at your house and enjoy music together.

Just go to youtube and play the song, then right click on the address bar at the top and copy, then go to Chordie and paste there.

That's a tough one, bud. I don't have the best rhythm myself.  I tend to speed up and slow down all in the same song.  I think for the most part, I have gotten much better than I used to be.  I do know that it is just a matter of getting the strumming hand used to strumming without thinking.  If you think of the words to the song and think of strumming correctly at the same time, you will tend to get off beat much of the time. This is another matter of strumming until you are sick of it, then strum some more.  I also know that for some, to keep a beat is next to impossible.  I am one of those that can't hold a beat very well, but I have noticed with time and lots of practice, I have gotten a little better.  I also know that if you constantly think of strumming while you are doing it, you either mess up the strum or you screw up the singing.  It has to become a non thinking experience for you to do it consistently.  Maybe you should practice strumming while you are doing something else and always try not to think of the strumming.  I think the key here is to make strumming a reflex action, the same as fingering chords has become. I know I'm not much help, but I'm trying to get inside your head and look at it differently.

That's what I meant to say Jerome. smile

Capos are only used to allow your voice to be comfortable in a certain range.  If you can sing all the notes comfortably without the capo, then do.

Very clear picking and singing.  Maybe I'll get that good someday, with enough practice.

His name could have been Maynard G Crebbs. That is a funny one.  Zurf, you're alright.

Did she play banjo Joey?

Be careful with the wax Joey.  Wax stops up the poors and doesn't allow the wood to breathe correctly.  I think!
