Still kinda loose, eh? Sounded great from all the way over here. Encore!

I'll join that capo lovers club, Steve. I also love the open sound. I think acoustics sound better playing open, but that's just my opinion. Mine varies from 2nd fret to 5th. Some folkie type songs sound great at the 5th fret.

Amy, that's a great description of me - way too simple.

Brilliant. Man, I wish I could play fingerstyle like that.

Back in my youth I remember thinking Cozy Powell was THE MAN. Or maybe he just had a bigger kit than the rest. Back then rock bands really started to go with HUGE drum kits.

Make a point of learning 1 song all the way through. Learn all the words and get it to stick in your head by playing it all the time. I was the same as you but forced myself to learn 1 song by heart - that way you don't get so embarrassed when someone hands you a guitar at a party or campfire and you can't do anything with it after telling everyone you play. I now start and end all my practices with that song, just to make sure it sticks.

P.S. I've now added a couple more to that list. It really helps with you're confidence too.

Sad news, Roger. Love and hugs to everyone.

Just to confirm what zguitar and Zurf say, you cannot post tab or chords to other people's songs directly to chordie. You will have to post it to another tab site; there are plenty. You can then add this to the chordie archive by following the instructions in the resourses section of the site. There are instructions in the "sticky" at the top of the songwriting section on how to post your own songs there.

Cheers.

Strumming is basically about bashing out the rhythm of the song on your guitar. It's the rhythm that drives the song along. Here's how I usually try to explain how to get into the rhythm of a song...

Listen to the song, and with your strumming hand hit out the rythm, along with the song, on your leg or something. Like pretend drumming, but with one hand. Once you get into the rythm your hand will be bashing out a beat on your leg and you can usually pick up from that what's an down beat (strum) and what's an upbeat (strum).

It's hard to explain without showing you but hopefully you get what I mean.

Amazing. I have a friend who's father also used radio a lot during his working life and still uses not only "roger" on the phone but also says "over" and the end of every sentence.

fatmothaman, if you start a new topic for your search for band members you may get a better response. All the best everyone.

By bringing the Sex Pistols to the world he changed the way a whole generation thought about the music scene and in modern culture in general. It was finally OK just to do whatever you darn well pleased.
