Any day you fail to learn something is a day wasted Lieven!  If you took lessons and the only thing you  learned from that is that you don't need lessons then it wasn't wasted!

If your teacher taught you 10 things in your lesson but if you learned only one thing that helped you play better then it wasn't wasted. 

You take what you need and leave the rest behind!

Take care of that finger!

Hi

A while back when I first started posting songs, I printed one out and the chopro format changed after {so c} to indented and italicised.

Unfortunately after the {eo c} command it remained indented and italicised.  This only happens on the print page, not on the posted song page.  Can anything be done to solve this? 

Thanks

Bonedaddy cool

I drove that road (US1) from Miami to Key West last summer - Top down in a Mustang!  Actually drove from Orlando quite a journey.  What a memory!  Thanks for reminding me - must dig out the photos cool

Thanks for your enthusiasm Ken it means a lot to me!  I am having problems with my camera at the moment but I do intend to start posting vids on the Chordians Youtube site.

In the meantime, knock yourself out, I'd love to hear/see your interpretation cool

Cheers for now

Lieven, personally speaking I started trying to play songs that I like to listen to.  Then, when writing my own material I have a base to work from.  If I like a chord progression for instance Dm, F, Bb, A, when I write something I may just rearrange those chords to form a different sequence, or maybe just alter the rhythm or picking pattern.

I don't know whether this counts as style though!  I'm quite willing to learn from lessons but like everything else in this crazy guitar playing world, you take what you want and leave the rest!

hay bonedaddy how did set your bridge? I have an old 12 string I need to lower the action on.

The Floyd Rose is a 'floating bridge' in that it pivots to facilitate extreme bending of notes with a tremelo arm.  There are two springs behind the guitar which provide the tension to keep the bridge flat against the body of the guitar.

As you increase the tension on the strings to tune your guitar, this pulls the bridge forward.  If the tension on the bridge is increased, this tightens the strings, resulting in increasing the pitch.

As you tune in the top strings, the bottom strings loosen because of the tension on the bridge, and vice versa.  Bloody nightmare!

That is, of course an electric guitar, which has no  business on this forum.  I wouldn't know how to lower the action on an acoustic which is a shame cos mine needs doing too!

Good luck

Hi Lieven

Lyrics are spot on, don't have my guitar on me at the moment but when I do I'm gonna play your song!

Cheers

To be honest, I've not heard the Courtesy of the Red White and Blue, nor was I aware that Natalie had made those comments about it/him.  All I saw was the inflammatory photo which was portrayed as merely an answer to the Bush comment.

His reaction, like that of the american people does seem a little... over the top, comparing a comment or criticism to dictatorship and tyranny.  Maybe he's just insecure lol

I stand by what I said in the song, though!

You don't think Toby Keith jumped on a bandwagon when he boosted his career by slating the Dixie Chicks and doctoring the Saddam/Natalie photo?

Shame on him.

Thanks for your kind comments, they are always welcome!

Nowhere, though did I say the American government had banned them.  I do apologise if the majority of stations have reinstated their music, I know they've been nominated for grammy awards since then as well. 

The audience they made the comment to were... English at the Shepherds Bush Empire, London!  Opinion here was and still is divided as to wether we should have gone to war and like the chicks, I would see any alternative exhausted before sending in the troops.  I don't think there were any death threats from this side of the atlantic though.

Which was my point.

Thanks Doll, I think I'll pass on the whole 'being stabbed in the stomach and simultaneously kicked in the fork' thing for a while though!

I think what happened with the Dixie Chicks was that the remark was portrayed as being anti american troops rather than just anti American Idiot (Bush Jr).  This was what got the public upset enough to trigger the reaction of corporate america.

Just a snowball in hell!

Apparently it was worth about £169.00 in 1992.  Not bad for a freebie!
