Re: Am I being too cynical(what do you think of this) (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I think what it boils down to is if your happy with the present band situation you formed then no explanation is needed politics have no place in a band, to me a band is like family and you dont withhold the truth from each other when it comes to band business.

Re: The lines on notes and Ledger Lines (3 replies, posted in Music theory)
A dot increases the length of a note by one half of its original value if its a half note (2beats) half of this is one beat so a dotted half note is three beats,a dotted quarter note is 1 1/2 beats

I am a second day beginner on learning to play guitar and read sheet music(via Hal Leonards Guitar Methods Book 1).
I searched a lot and could not find the answers to these questions:
notes on the staff, sometimes you see the attached up and down line on the note. Why does it sometimes go straight up and others it goes straight down......Hal fails to explain this little tid bit.
The Staff....the book starts out with showing 5 lines on the staff.....and then later on in the book it introduces "ledger lines", there is no description on what ledger lines are and what to do with them. So any help here would be great!
3/4 time and the little dot after a note....I understand that if you see a dot after a quarter note it adds 1 beat to it to which it becomes 3 beats. But when I see this on the staff in a particular measure say a G quarter note with a dot and that's it for that measure what do I do? Does this mean that I simply play the G note and then count 2 beats and play nothing? If so, why don't they just say it's 3/4 time and play the G note and 2,3 and then start the next measure?
thanks for any help that comes along!

Re: Soloing - Write 'em or Improv? (6 replies, posted in Music theory)
live I always improvise I never play a solo the same way twice unless its for a recording where I may reinforce the solo with a specific interval but I can also do that live with my Boss ME-50 harmonizing feature and changing up on a solo keeps it fresh and fun

Re: MY FINGERS HURT! (36 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I agree with checking the string height even replacing them with a lighter gauge check with the music store with regards to the height of the strings above the frets if there old or to high it only makes it tougher to play and enjoy

Re: Best guitar players (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have mixed feelings regarding his playing,technically speaking he has command of all he surveys on the fretboard not as good as Segovia was but then none are he also has the ego strutting down pat but for me he lacks the expression or call it soul to make me a fan there is no joy in his music for me anyway.

Re: I need HELP!!!!!!!!! (19 replies, posted in Acoustic)
check the length of you fingernails on your fretting hand they must be cut close so as to not interfere with the position of the chord form use the tips of your fingers on a D chord and lean your fingers in the direction of your body it also helps to position your fingers right behind the frets this should improve the sound of the chord

Re: This guy can really pick!! (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
none of the comments has anything to do with Brad Pasiley or the video with the exception of bensonp just a tangent on how country has changed, of course it has changed but as I stated the traditional forms still exist and are appreciated by many fans I will say Brad is one the best pickers I have listened to in quite a while and that includes Jerry Reed and Chet he is original and refreshing to listen to and I dont care what style you label him.

Re: This guy can really pick!! (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I think the music world is flexible enough to embrace all the new styles there will still be people who like Hank,Willy and Waylon and traditional country I for one do but I cant help but be impressed with Brad Paisley from a lead guitarist point of view it takes a lot of practice to develop the chops to rip those solos and I like the chord structures and melodies of his songs very fluid

I was watching Letterman last night and Brad Paisley was his last guest Alabama backed him up I must admit to not being up to date on who's who in country there are so many young talented artists but this guy really impressed me not just his vocals but his command of the fretboard he plays some of the best licks I have heard in a while effortlessly its easy to understand his earning the country music awards entertainer of the year great player period!!
this song Alcohol features a solo by Brad around 4:20 into the song he makes that Tele sing enjoy
