Thanks crowellb, I'll give the polywebs a shot. I must say, so far I haven't been real impressed by the elixers - that was my second or 3rd set I think. I sent them an email and suggested they send me a new set if they want to keep this customer - I'll let you know if I get a response.

So far, Martin strings seem to be the best for me. Long lasting and they seem to stay in tune really well. I've got a set of DR's on now, we'll see.

Great thread etc_04, I just printed and played that Leadbelly tune - Great choice fun to play and belt out as you said!

I can't say I have any favs at the moment - been practicing a few Clapton tunes, but I don't have my arms around them yet!

Pix (and anyone else interested). I uploaded a few photos of my Tak on flickr. Linkage:

No Anchovies, Please - J. Geils Band

I don't know why that popped into my head, but it did

southpaw51,

You can probably just bring the bad components to your local radio shack and they will likely have (or can order) replacements. Be sure to label or draw a diagram (or take a photo) of the wiring before you remove them to ensure you install the replacements in the right place!

Dave Matthews - I'm pretty sure it was from his solo effort - not DMB.

LR - I love Willie, but I honestly didn't care much for his version.

I rarely visit the songwriting forum anymore because I struggle in "reading" what a song sounds like - I prefer hearing them, but I'm glad I checked this one out and I really enjoyed the recording. Well done Russ, good quality and your breadth of styles never ceases to amaze me.

(That said - I'm with Zurf - I ain't gonna even attempt to play it )

Russ - You may already know this, Road Runner is available in multiple speeds - and the connection you have will certainly have an impact on video downloads. And as someone else said, the amount of use in your "node" will also have an impact. Here are the different speeds available in my area from RR:

Thanks Ben and welcome to chordie. I am really a newbie myself and this site - the songs and forum combined have helped me tremendousely! Although I played a bit as a kid, this wonderful thing called the internet has helped me re-learn exponentially faster.

Friendly is the right description of Chordie - Musicians of all levels sharing their questions and successes, that's what it's all about!

I live in North Carolina and the signs of spring are just beginning to show. Chin up - no doubt Spring is headed for Minesoooda soon!

Welcome to Chordie Brendan! Would love to hear more about those "early" guitars.

I thought about beginning a similiar thread a couple of weeks ago, but was concerned it may turn into trouble. So, just as a reminder, this is a message from the song request forum:

Chordie does not host songs. It is a search engine that formats songs it finds on the internet. There are several reasons for this (most of them legal).

Please read FAQs on chordie's 'Resources' page for a longer explanation.

This also means that NO LYRICS can be posted in this forum.

You are however allowed to post links to songs on the internet, and you are allowed to post one-liners explaining how to play a song.

Any posting of lyrics may result in Chordie having to shut down! I will therefore automatically delete the account (and the songbook) of persons violating this rule, as well as ban their domain from accessing Chordie.

Please report any violation of this rule immediately!
