H Doug and a warm welcome to Chordie,

Good on you for not giving in to your debiltation condition, I admire your courage and determination.

One thing I must point out though is that there is a great deal of litigation at present for copyright infringement so we have to take care and normally we can allow just a couple of lines to help make a point. However I shall make an exception in this case as reducing them would detract from the point you are making.

The Mental Institution?

On the right had side, about half way down should be the button for print but his is only for chord songs not tabs.

Welcome to Chordie,

Roger

I agree with Topdown and Tubatooter 100%.

I started playing when I was 11 and later this year I will officially become a pensioner (still feel 20 though ) so I have been playing a long time and the question of strumming patterns is something I have never asked.

I believe that far too many novice guitarist try to play complicated rhythms before they have mastered playing the basic 4 (or sometimes 3) main beats to a song. Those basic beats have to so ingrained that they are instinctive and nothing can distract from them. (One of the exercises I do with my students is to play together a simple 4 beat rhythm and then hold a conversation with them about school, sport or anything else of interest and see if they can hold it). Only then should double time and up stroke rhythms be attempted. Then it comes down to knowing the song well enough so you can hear it in your head to play the rhythm if you are trying to copy it, or to have in mind what you want to hear and play it your own way.

There is writing on the truss rod cover. Does that give any clues?

Great job Russ and I am pleased to see that you have chrome hardware on her, she looks gorgeous.

Roger

I have just looked at the song: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … 63933.html and it definitely says it was corrected by you.

By the way the variation on the A chord, by playing the B string open, is Asus2.

We have two 60's Gibson 335's in the shop priced in excess of €2000.00 and beside them is a Tanglewood copy at €300.00. Howard, the owner of the shop, has owned one of the Gibsons from new and played it professionally until fairly recently and he has told me that the Tanglewood feels, plays and sounds just like the genuine article.

You no longer need a mirror to shave with .

Nice finish Russ.

Roger

I thought I posted here yesterday, but then my troubles seemed so far away .

Anyway a warm welcome to you from Portugul.

Hi Brian,
