Ok, being in semi north TX, we dont have a lot of snow, seems to run every 4 years.  Our snow this year was more of 3 inches of ice, but it makes for good sledding.  Only problem is finding the hills! (and not having a runner sled we improvised!)  So this is me and the boys version,, This vid is really only the youngest as the older one didnt want to come out a 2nd time yesterday (in his defence he spent 6 hours out with his brother today but I was not filming today)

So here it is set to Rob Halford's Christmas for Everyone.   http://youtu.be/sQeTfJK3Uj8

HEY JEFF! DONT KNOW WHAT YOU PUT OUT FOR THAT MARTIN BUT LOOK AT THE "DEAL"  ON AMAZON I FOUND LAST NIGHT! <please note the high sarcasim in that line>

But I know they are not Martins.

Well Jeff I would say to stay away from mail order. or at least req a sig or have it mailed to your work if your boss will let you.

Honestly the easiest way I have found to do it is copy and paste the song to a word doc. then save it.  from that you should be able to drag and drop into your portable device.  being as how i just use my laptop or Desktop, I have not transfered many.  I have sent to my kendel but its not what I am looking for.

THis is probably the last time I played in front of strangers.  1997 (or98) at the FUMC Taft TX. Country Christmas.  Film was grainy but I fixed it the best I could.

Yes that is the look of heavy concentration (Oh god dont let me fall out of place w/ the better players! lololol)  The guy on stand up was the music director. He is one of the perpeptually happy people and fun to be around.  We would play the informal service on Sunday mornings (bet that surprises a few ppl lol  )

that method is also acceptable.   instead of barring all the way across. just remember to omit the low E.  here are other forms also  http://www.jguitar.com/chordsearch?chordsearch=Bm

what it does not show in the first figure is that you dont really have to use your 2nd finger either. technically this is a B5 (its just the power chord version) and you only strum the strings your fingers are on. and your only x 2 4 4 x x.  As to how you lay out , i go for the index barre and then lay the rest down. its just pratice.  by playing a lot of  metal, this just comes a bit natural to me. (pratice on a electric, its easier to get that index barre)

At that price point, (100 new) its a bolt on. It should be a pretty hassel free swap.  you may need help getting it shimmed right.  I would just take it to a shop and have them do it and set it up ifyou are not happy with your own try. but im betting its gonna go pretty easy.

I Agree about the mushrooms, but it would seem like much more fun.  On the serious note, Maybe just have a talk with Jim first. 
Did he ever tell you the Metalsmith creed?    IF IT DONT FIT GET A BIGGER HAMMER!

Russell has it once again! thanks man, I dont know anything about reading music. LOLOL

But as to alternate picking, yes its a very good thing to learn, an here I must add,,and this may not apply to you,,,, but,, HOWEVER,,,, manicale downstrokes  are great for punk rock! Johnny Ramone used nothing but down strokes. That takes some stanima I can tellyou that, I play two Ramones songs with out alternate strumming and my wrist is ready to drop!LOLOLOL

Nice job, Roger!

There are more than a few of us now thinking, "Why not try a project like that?"

Congrats on your resurrected guitar!

Well as Jx3 found out, its not so simple as spraying.  Roger mentioned that his friend did take it to an auto body shop to be painted, so that is one way to do it, the other (DIY) takes a lot of time, which some pple do have, so go for it.  just remember, if using auto finishes, they still need to be base coat and clear coat, wet sand up to 3000 grit then a quality rubbing compound (IE: not turtle wax or nu finish- more like 3M, Meguiars Mirror finish, pro stuff) then for best results a sealant or sealant wax. big_smile

Ok I may have gone to the extreem, but I love great paint!
