ANSWER FOR JAMES: you are 100% correct, but I use in that song, some more difficult chords too, and I sing it using some licks, like descending on a string and singing at the same time.
Examples of the string thing, is (excuse me to compare me with him) the George Harisson song: "SOMETHING" where he starts in A and goes to A major 7 to A7.
He sings along with A, A major 7, and A7 before taking D

So this a part of second MICROBE SONG, pt 2, if Pink Floyd can write 6 songs about "shine on your crazy diamond, I have the right to do this too. I even don't think in my language, but in English, when writing or speaking (NO TRANSLATION FROM DUTCH to ENGLISH)
Why 2 songs? and similar title?
ANSWER: I can and will use them both. 1 acoustic
and 2: AND THIS REALLY HAPPENED, NAPOLEON lost the war because of the diseases, I think cholera 75% and Typhus 25%
If it wasn't about Napoleon loosing in Russia
NO PANIC FRIENDS, Chords will be added soon, and I knew that those lyrics are funny in a certain way, but I have 2 or 3 lyrics, so "if" I post them, you'll see a differnce.
One song: for electric is aggressive and true, with some, what I found nice events.

If it wasn't because of Pasteur's microscope
we should be afraid and have no hope.
If the "mics"  were not outnumbered at the Russian borders
Napoleon's soldiers were to sick to follow his orders.

Microbes are nice, when it's light or when it's dark
But always be aware, they attack you like a shark
The mostly sing a song silence is golden
If protecting you, sometimes you can not hold them

I see some virusses, I see some microbes and I know them well
You have the good ones, you have the bad ones, the in betweens
You can destroy them, but you can love them, as I will tell
and if you nuke them, it will affect you, because you need them, the has beens.

Please do respect them, and treat them good, they do like also your food

Here I am convinced that there are no misspellings, and I love this one really.
It is sad, because I forgot some lines, started to sing this on my way to the hospital, that word is also somewhere in the lyrics. I say or think that the lyrics you forget, were not the right ones.
Right now, some words are coming back: it is about diseases spread by the first settlers killing a lot of Natives, and they blessed us with "syphilis" which was used as "syphilips" (my name).
I love to play with words, and if I shouldn't laugh with my physical condition, I should feel worse

GITAARDOCPHIL SAIS: YOU CAN FEEL THEM, BUT CANNOT SEE THEM

Don't worry Roger, even having a lot of time, I love it and he earns it. Maybe sooner or later I can be used, but I am so glad that I start knowing so much nice people, and that is where it's all about.
I told you that chordie gave me a new energy injection, and you know my condition, I can't sit for 15 minutes, I can stand, and if I cross my physical border, I loose concience, just caused by the pain, resulting in 3x broken ribs, a few teeth, bruces, in fact I can't describe it what I feel, the pain is part of my body, and even having a high tolerance... It is difficult to explain, and to understand.
I never skipped a day when still practising, even having twice a pneumonia. MY REAL PROBLEM IS I CAN NOT ACCEPT THIS SITUATION, but I trie to live different. And 1 day Rog, I want to knock on your door, with my guitar.

CONGRATULATIONS, I discovered a lot too and what I don't understand is why on the acoustic site
It is a responsability, and I know that you are an experienced musician.
I wish you real good luck and if I detect some "nasty" things, I know where to rapport abuse.

HE SouthPaw, This is what I like about chordie, and SORRY to ALL READERS OF THIS TOPIC.
I wrote some personal feelings BUT I USE THEM NOT TO COMPLAIN, (usually, because I like to talk about the crash sometimes. When I talk about it, it is just to try to tell people: It ain't over 'till it's over. Happiness and inner peace, and talking sometimes, are the KEY WORDS.
Yesterday: sad day, Today: a lot better. Same thing as playing guitar, 1 day super, the other less.
SouthPaw this fact I didn't know, WERE YOU PLAYING PROFESSIONAL, or HOBBY? And an unpolite question, WERE YOU ABLE TO MAKE A LIVING, playing in those 24 years?
You know MOST OF US think: look how nice it is, playing for just a number 10.000 people. THE MISTAKE THAT (MOST) PEOPLE ALWAYS DO, is telling how wonderful this must be playing and performing. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: how many time you USE to be a "star", practising every day, until the skin on your fingers looks like concrete. While we sit in our lousy seat in the weekend, the musician has to perform. And so far as I know (I was MD for the most famous actors here, the same person you adored as a 12 year old kid, is now YOUR patient) honest: you are quit fast back on the ground. They perform on New Year's Eve, on Holidays... and you need as Southpaw sais: a nervosity, just like when you were still in college, defending your thesis, or exams.

GITAARDOCPHIL SAIS: EVEN THE GREATEST MUSICIANS ARE VERY NERVOUS.

Thanks snailspace, I love that instrument, and it sounds more like a guitar.
You can see the instrument on youtube, search for chapmanstick and you'll find it
Do you know music stores who sell this instrument? I am going to search for the price and dealers, and will put the information here.

I agree with snailspace7, and nice to meet you here.
Once upon a time, when the animals were still speaking, you had 2 important brands, at least here in Europe.
- GIBSON: LES PAUL STANDARD, LES PAUL CUSTOM and GIBSON SG.
- FENDER, even more easy: A STRATOCASTER, OR A TELECASTER.
Today it is almost impossible to make a choice, I don't know how many different stratocasters, and I am only talking about US stratocasters, are on the market.
An important factor is: how much do you want to spend? A good advise is to go to a guitar store, and let's supposing that your budget is between 1000 & 2000$, try a few of those if possible in the store, the neck is also very important, some guitar players like a bigger neck, others a smaller. I have a US Strat 1964, and if I should sell him, I would have enough $$ to buy a few other Fenders. A pretty good choice is the relic, or a custom made, but the price is high. You can take a look to see prices on www.zzounds.com or www.musiciansfriend.com, giving you a pretty good information about prices, wood, and in fact all different guitars.
The Fender H-S-S combination: around 1200$ and a maple US standard S-S-S (coil) 1000$.
If you want to spend more (I don't have an idea about the tone) you have to go to the vintage Fenders, like a reissue '57=1400$artist serie (Clapton,...) 1500$. A cheaper US made Fender is the Fender Highway = 750$. But about the Highway, you will find different opinions.
Maybe the best choice would be a Fender Stratocaster US for about 1000$, but try to compare.

I was able to find it, but it took me long.
I will you more details

25Frankster, I was again lucky, also for a few guitars, and INFINITY speakers, to have one of my patients working as a high ranked custom. So when he found something special, he was really loved by people importing guitars, hi fi, by being CORRECT. So I got my Marshall valvestate 100W for maybe 250$ because there were a few scratches, and not longer to put it for sale in a Music shop. After my car crash (2000) insurance paid me really good (don't forget I paid a lot, and also the price was and is still very high, being disabled). I remember me surfing on the web some years ago, and I couldn't believe my eyes, FENDER CYBERTWIN 2x65, combination digital & tubes.
Almost all the "popular amps" Fender produced are in that amp. A lot of people I know, use Fender amps like Bassman, Twin Reverb, they told me that the sound was exactly the same(?), amazing is the fact that all the knobs for delay, distortion etc are turning automatic in that position, and than you can change a few things. I still don't understand how ingenious a human being can be. The acoustic Marshall, I didn't want at all the 100W, but they gave me time to try 50 vs 100, after 2 chords the decision was made. It seems unfair to have such things, but it was probably my way to keep myself psychological better, but after starting again, I was seeing again so much patients and I was destroying my body and mind. IT IS NOT FUNNY, at first a big relieve, followed by a huge dark period. I am so grateful that I found this site, I can even chat about other things. I LOVE CHORDIE AND ALL THE CHORDIANS

I looked for information, and I know a lot of things.
My special interest was, and this a matter of taste, who was the better guitar player, was the level similar, BUT TECHNICALLY WHO WAS BETTER? They were both well known, SRV with band, and JRV in a band THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS.
