You know I have to say, When people Have told me the same thing,,, it really grates me.  Because you (dont take it personally, its a you  as in whoever) assume that we can hit it without any instruction.  I have tried to use it and a drum loop, yea I can play note for note on a scale and a dum dee dumm chord, and when I think Im on beat, I will have someone tell me im not in  time. So to really have it be of benifit, someone, I think, needs to help you get started and understand what your supposed to really be doing.

This is mainly for stuff I try to write and play to drum loops, other wise I follow the song with the CD.  (and make sure if the CD is in standard , half down or drop D / C to play too or that also can mess you up)

I asked my sons teacher to train him with a click track and he shrugged it off and said if really needed he might.  I let it go, not to be a slave to the click, but it would help soooo much if I were taught how to maintain it, and I wanted my kid to not have the same problems as me.  Maybe Im alone in this, but I dont think so,

ok off my soap box. Sorry to digress the thread.

Try Willy or Cash,, but maybe step into a type that is not your norm or comfort zone?  How bout the simple stuff like Luie Louie and wild thing?  You can play to it, its easy and the beats change.  Who do you love  is most definatly a Bo Didly beat and fun to do.  Melloncamp has a lot of good stuff that is very different song to song. ROCK in the USA has a good swoing to it and can be used also with What I like about you (slight variation of strum, same chords)and Cheri Cheri.   Stepping stone by The Monkeeys is a really fun song to play and it has a up beat time sig.  (E, G, A, C)

Ok hope that helps.

Nela,

The key word is "If"

In my case as I have mentionedm there are just some things no matter how hard I try, my brain just wont absorb.  As I mentioned Theory and the whole I V IV thing.

I had my sons guitar instructor try to teach it to me so I could hep my son with His asignment, It just sounded like Charlie Browns teacher to me.  and I really was trying to learn it, it just didn and still does not compute.  So, gimmi the chords baby!  Ill strum them all night long while someone else does the lead work.  I can play some basic scales and make stuff sound cool on my own, but not over top of a progression.  been trying for 20 yrs. 
Maybe if I had a daily tutor I would finally get it all.

Sat or sunday???  I dont think I am working at all except for stuff at the house, oil changes etc etc..  I also want to get a buddy from way back to join our family so ill let him know. He is a very good player. SoIllse if I can get him onto teh forum also.

If you know 3 you can use them all over the neck not just the first 3 frets example :
your standard E Bar chord shape for F = 133211, by moving it fret for fret down the neck you are playing that chord, F F# G G# A and so on, or for an easy way just play the first and 3rd fingers on E and A string. this will work up and down the neck and are called Root 5th Bar chords, they work best on strings 4,5,and6
I found this FREE PDF down load of Barre chords http://www.guitar-skill-builder.com/Bar … Chart.html
Ok and to answer your question of why? Well once you migrate out of folk,, and even w/ in it, and with your Beatles, conservation of movement and,  quite frankly,, the other name for them is POWER CHORDS. You can get much more thump out of them, palm muting is easier, and shifting between chords is quicker.  EX going from C D E isn’t that hard open but lacks a certain growl. If you play them as a 2 or 3 finger power chord, you’re just sliding the fingers right up the neck in a smooth progression and able to swap back and forth quickly.  Best example I can think of that is not a metal song (as it was written LOLLOL  ) would be most of the very popular stuff by THE KINKS. All day and all night and You really got me ( which have been covered by Van Halen and heavier groups) here listen and watch how they are played by everyones favorite Justin guitar.  So here ya are http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5V4uO2H5Sc  and  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=en … rBBf7OogtU

and the VH version of you really got me:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fAd7MoT9c8

or you can suck it up and go to teh shop for a setup with a fret dressing.  Maybe you can get away with just a fret dressing.

M.B.  I highly suggest that you check a vidio shop or netflicks and watch HAIL HAIL ROCK AND ROLL.  Kieth assembles a band to record with Chuck Berry because in his opinion Chuck has never been recorded deacently.  Keith is the arrangement genious for the stones.   If you can find teh complete set of dvds for this show, the "extras" disk is great.  at one point Keith says to take a brake from one song they were praticing,, and Chuck is like "NO NO NO lets JAM,,, LOOK AT WHO WE GOT IN THIS ROOM, LETS JUST JAM!"  And what follows is a inprov jam that while may not be the greatest thing in 6 strings,, you can see Clapton Berry and Richards just having fun.  Like we are supposed to have with music!

Also if you like band tales: I AM OZZY was great!  caution, Oz pulls no punches and tells you exactly what was going on with the band sex and drugs,,, but trust me, in 3 pages you will be laughing out loud.  Sammy Hagars book is good also.  but he is the same way. tells it like it happened.

I  just found HAIL HAIL ROCK AND ROLL for you on you tube starting with part one.

and this is great too  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClgtoM2RwQY  Only Chuck can tell Keith he cant paly guitar correctly LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Cheers!

Not everyone can sing. Not everyone is able to transpose, ( I let the program in the song list do it for me) and many dont get the I III IV thig at all.  12 yrs and I just cant get my head wrapped around it and most music theory.  That is why we like chords
With someone singing I wouldnt even know which way to transpose a song up or down and to what key?  ( The key unlocks my case right?   )

HEy I think we could come up with one I came up with the incantation.  Granted I pinched Green lantern for some of it! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

put something like a big C in th e middle of Something like this
