Pix - Another guitar! How many does that make? How 'bout some details on the 12er, make model and your opinion. And hey - update the GAS on flikr would ya - I just went lookin for the new 12.

Still just me and my old yammy, but I'll be adding soon - let me know if you see or have any good deals. Take care buddy.

Thanks SG - just last night I was strumming the heck out of Nothing Else Matters. I never was a big Metallica fan, but I found it quite therapeutic. It felt good, Chris would be proud of his old man!

Good list Doc. I agree with Jaco at # 1, but Stanley Clarke is a close #2.

Hi baylee - welcome to chordie!

I found the chords on countrytabs.com - You have to register but it is free.

This is a great topic Doc - I have been to several hundred concerts in my years and have seen many of those on your list and there are some I never even heard of or wouldn't think of seeing (Kraftwerk? - I'll have to look them up). A few I would add to the list:

- Elton John - I have seen him / them several times and it's a great show - 3 hours of songs and you can sing along to every one.
- Aerosmith - These guys at 60 put on a high energy show definitely worth seeing. I saw them first in the '70's and they are better today then they were back then.
- Kiss - worth going to just once to what they are all about - not good, but certainly fun.
- Jimmy Buffett - It's not just a show it is an event. Go early and tailgate with the parrotheads.
- Willie Nelson - An American icon that almost brought tears to my eyes. He ain't got many touring years left, so if you have a chance, go see him!

I'll also comment on Bob Dylan - Another Icon I totally adore, but he is a pure artist - his set lists change daily and he doesn't often play his old classics. And if he does they don't sound anything like the originals. I will not pay to see him again unless he is touring with someone else that is compelling. Let's just say the last time I saw Bob he didn't sound good at all.

I regret I never got to see the Grateful Dead or Zep. If Zep tours within 200 miles I'll do my damdest (is that a word) to go see them

A couple to add to the list:

Stevie Gadd - Awesome session drummer who has played with the best of them.

Phil Collins - Another very respected drummer despite his pop solo stuff.

And welcome to Chordie!

I see where that came from - From wikipedia:

This is a list of songs purportedly deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel Communications following the September 11, 2001 attacks. In the days following the attacks, many television and radio stations altered normal programming in response to the events. During this period, the rumor spread that Clear Channel and its subsidiaries had established a list of "songs with questionable lyrics" that stations might not want to play after the attacks. This list was distributed by the independent newsletter Hits Daily Double, which is not affiliated with Clear Channel.[1]

Snopes did research on the subject and concluded that the list did exist as a suggestion for radio stations but noted that it was not an outright ban on the songs in question.[2]

[/b]The list contains 166 songs, including "all songs" by Rage Against the Machine[/b] and songs done by multiple artists (for example "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan and the same song by Guns N' Roses). Interestingly, the cover of "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm is on the list despite the fact that the original version, sung by Michael Jackson, is not.

Again - this was an action taken by an individual company in an effort to not offend it's listeners - This was not the government banning anyone.

The barre chord problem seems to be an almost weekly discussion. Using the search function, I found the below threads that are all pretty recent (maybe some info in there will help - but honestly, I don't think there is a magic solution, the only answer is practice, practice........)

I really like these Dunlop nylon picks. A fellow chordian (Guitarpix) turned me on to. They have raised lettering and a texture that really helps prevent slippage.

I have been researching guitar manufacturers a bit and it truly surprised me how many brands were actually subsidiaries or “sister"  brands of other companies.
