All the forums are beginner forums.  The overall attitude of the forum participants is that everyone has something to learn, and everyone has something to teach.  I'm sure your questions as a beginner will provide new insight to even the most seasoned player.  Never feel intimidated here. 

Welcome to Chordie.  Jump in.

Ain't that the truth?  When I met Jeff Taylor (Topdown) for the first time in person, it was like reconnecting with an old and dear friend.  When I met Beamer in person there was no macho facade.  We went straight for the big bear hug and I for one had tears in my eyes.  These are good people here.  Straight up good people. 

I've met others too, so if you didn't make the description list, don't let it hurt your heart please.  You're all dear. 

I look forward to some day meeting you two.  The wheels are spinning, and maybe if some day I wind up driving down to ChordieFest, there may be a stop on the way (or slightly out of the way) to shake some hands, pass out some hugs, and strum some tunes. 

In short: You're welcome dear Dondra.  It was the least we could do.

Cool idea.

I don't sing well, so I have to play accompaniment.  But...I don't play well, so I definitely have to sing to disttact attention from my playing.

I must have missed the note on insulin pump. I know a couple folks with them, and who love the freedom they give. Just be sure to have a spare vial around.

Best of luck with your pump. I hope it helps to keep you stable and feeling safe.

Haven't started Happy Boy. It takes me a long while to learn a new song. And also I thought that request was to Dirty Ed.

I'll diddle with the settings this evening. Now that I've got the recording working better, I'm enjoying it and will be using that folder to record and share for constructive criticism.

How'd the night go? Everything stay OK?

She wouldn't say it to me either if she saw me.  LOL.   Here's a picture of me getting up in the morning after sleeping on Topdown's floor at ChordieStock 2013.

Topdown spread the hay around just for me. 

I dropped "Live Forever" into the Dropbox folder.  I haven't got the speed of the picking up to what you hear from Billie Joe Shaver, but maybe it'll be OK.

I'll try and do a couple more for her soon.  Don't tell your tea-toting wife, but the red wine I was sipping had started to kick in by the time I recorded Blue Train.  I've had a hard time getting a handle on that song.  But she said she liked 60s and 70s country, so that one had to be done.

Play what sounds good. 

Play it a lot. 

I don't find Martins to be the easiest playing guitars, generally preferring Taylors strictly for feel.  But it's tough to beat their sound.  When I had the choice between buying a Martin and a Taylor, I bought a Guild.  It sounded better. 

To repeat: Play what sounds good.  Play it a lot.  You'll get used to it.

Goodness, what a difficult patch you've been in.  I hope you're on the easy side of it.

That's a cool cord!

Oh no.  I'm sorry that Dondra has this to go through.

The only real problem we have around here is this one guy who lives in Florida and insists on posting pictures of beach sunsets all February.  Otherwise, it's a great group.  I have yet to meet a Chordian in person that I didn't like.  I even like their wives and husband and dogs and kids and father-in-laws and all of it.
