Yours is the same as David's. :-p You just aren't using strings 5 and 6.

Re: Burnt my fingers. (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Last week the lid on my grill landed on my right hand and I got a bunch of second-degree burns on my fingers. Being my right hand that was damaged, I can still play guitar without pain, but I'm right-handed so everything else is a bit harder. :-\ Silver Sulfadiazine works great against infections.
I also hear that rubbing Vitamin E on a wound helps heal it faster. If you have Vitamin E gel caps, just puncture a hole in it with a toothpick or something.

Re: Beginner to acoustic guitar (13 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I suggest you try to practice a mix of strumming songs and picking songs. Try to work on songs that you can listen to so you can tell if it sounds right. Once you have a handle of a few different strumming patterns and chord transitions, make sure you remember to practice singing while you are playing guitar. The hand-voice (or whatever it's called) coordination comes easy to some people and harder to people like me.

Re: destroying your guitar or not? (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I don't know much about electric guitars, seeing as I just got my first job, so I never bought one. Anyways, I have a cheap mic that records surprisingly great on my computer when I just set it inside the body of my acoustic. Although, it probably wouldn't be too practical for performing, would it? :-p

Re: Black and Blue Fingers (26 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Oh... So how often do the strings need to be changed? A few years ago, my dad bought a new acoustic guitar for the family. (Though I play it more than 90% of the time it is used.) It still has the same strings it had when we bought it, and they seem perfectly fine. Should I change them or wait until I see signs of corrosion?

Re: easy lead parts (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Well, I kinda started guitar 2-4 years ago, but never got kinda serious about practicing till the beginning of this summer. I asked a friend for some song suggestions and he gave me a big list. 2 of my favorites that I haven't seen mentioned here are:
Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce
Endless Sacrifice - Dream Theater
