Hello rcwalto,

I tend to use Martins light gauge bronze strings.
I cannot comment on the vibration mentioned as I am a pick player, However, that aside the strings sound magnificent and make for a warm and spritely sound.

I have just written off my Ovation Applause. I am now looking for a new acoustic guitar that is not priced to high. I have seen the V300 brand new for £110.
One that has taken my notice is the Vintage V300 which looking at online reviews does pretty well.
It looks quite pleasing on the eye and I wondered if anybody who had first hand experience playing one of these could shed some light.

The music I enjoy playing is folk tunes.


Regards

Hello,

After the very helpful advice given here before for my request for the chords for 'Ratcliffe Highway', which I am still busy in practicing I wondered if anybody could shed any light on the chords which make up the composition to this piece, 'Admiral Benbow'.
Thank  you for your help.

Thanks Roger.

I have played through the arrangement that you kindly sent me. I find that Em is a hard chord for my voice to sing with though, lol! But on the whole I am very pleased with it! I may try and tidy it up...would it be possible to capo it at all do you think?

I have looked at the video and tried in earnest to replicate the chord sequences. However I am still very new to guitar playing and try as I might I cannot tell which fret the chords are being played from! sad
I think I should lay down this song for the future and carry on with the lessons. Once again thank you everybody who has given me invaluable help in trying to decipher this frustrating conundrum for me!
This website is a very valuable tool for guitar newbies like myself and if my guitar tutor cannot help me with anything it's nice to know I can come here!

Mekidsmom,

This is exactly the song! Such a beautiful tale and so frustrating that I cannot fathom it for the guitar!
Hopefully it may materialise on here one day, eh?

Thank you Butch and Bolleauxp.
It may be hard to track down as it is an old folk song in it's original form. My guitar skills are not yet adept enough to make out the chords by sound so I guess I will have to turn to trawling through second hand book shops and charity shops for that old guitar song book.

I was wondering if anybody could help me with a query? I am desperately looking for the chords for an old song called Ratcliffe Highway; Show of Hands have done a version. I have searched everywhere on the web but to no avail!
Any help would be most appreciated
