Some songs just get everyone going. In my opinion they must be popular, multi-generational and upbeat....at least till 2am then you can slow down a bit.... <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
I would start with:
Knocking on my Back Door-CCR
Help - The Beatles
Don't Stop Me Now- Queen
Get Back - The Beatles
I Wanna Be Sedated- The Ramones
I Will Survive - Gloria Gainer
Summer in the City - Lovin' Spoonfull

Re: confused again (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Never heard the term used in relation to guitar. I would hazzard a guess that it means to muffle the strings with the palm of your picking hand. ( Palming )
As a drinking term it takes on a whole new meaning.... <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">

If I asked one of the kids to name my guitars I would end up with suggestions like, MC String, Ice-jay-gangsta, well you get the picture. I shudder at the thought.

Re: is another area needed? (13 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Would seem to be a shame to put everything into nice neat little boxes. Part of the warm fuzzy feeling people get when using this forum is the liberty to exchange as they please. If we side track in a string well it is the common intrest in that particular subject that brought there in the first place.
That said what does everyone think of the Kyoto Protocol......oops sorry.

Topic: Looking for points of view (13 replies, posted in Acoustic)
There was a topic started about humidifiers and after my reply the string just stopped. Yet I was very curious about how others felt about it. We seem to live in a world where manufactuers create needs for us and sell us the idea that their product is a life saver that we cannot live without or the world will end , our hair will fall out, our guitar will turn to dust, pigs will fly....well you get the point. so here is a copy of my reply. I would love to hear from others on this point.
<font color="red">O.K. so here's the deal as an "old timer" sees it. I play a Norman B20 with a spruce top and cherry sides and back. I have owned this guitar for 15 years.I try to practice about an hour a day,so it does get plenty of playing. I keep it in a solid case with a little silica bag to absorbe moisture. I clean my strings and fingerboard with "Fast Fret", I pass a dry rag on it to dust it off every so often. And that's it! My guitar keeps sounding better as the years pass. It is ageing just as I like.
My concern is this. I am fairly new to this site.... I really love this site and the interaction with other musicians.... but I can't help feeling that many people are spending so much time fretting ( pun intended ) over all the latest equipment that <b>manufactuers</b> are telling us that we need. Unless you live in a very dry or extreemly humid enviroment I do not see the need for such a gadget. Also if you do live in such an enviroment wouldn't your home already have either a humidifier or dehumidifier. Doesn't your guitar share the same enviroment? I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Our tempuratures vary from +30 and very humid in the summers to -30 and very dry in the winters.I have never felt a need to worry about my guitar.
So are all these gadgets nessesary or are we products of our <b>commercial enviroment</b>?</font>
