That is a good song for a great state in which i'm proud to say that i live in. I'm from Dublin/Adrian in mid state which is actually one of the larger small towns that Georgia is made up of. I would like to see more of NC and Virginia someday i'm sure they are just as nice.

The only way i keep pics is i hide them where only i know where they are and buy crappy pics to leave lying around for everyone else to use that may come by to jam.

Re: Good days vs. bad (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hey Z I have also felt the same as you with my practice appreciation. I was told by someone with alot more experience that if you try to play a song the exact same as the original you will never be satisfied. I say try the original but add some of yourself into it and change it up and you will be alot happier with your progress. It works for me and i have found my personal sound now instead of copying others.

Selso i'm sorry to hear of you injury and loss. I once worked as a detention officer at a youth correction prison and i know what you went through. It takes alot to stay with a job like that. Your ex employer will have a hard time keeping a good replacement. May you and your wife be blessed through this in some way.

Topic: How do i get neck relief? (2 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I want to get more relief from the tension on the strings so they won't be so hard to chord. Which way do i turn the hex screw to adjust the neck for relief or back draw? I didn't realize how hard my guitars were to chord until i played one set up this way. It makes a world of difference in playability.

Re: Need recommendation for best $100 acoustic guitar (19 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
You may want to try the Takamine Jasmine S-35 for $99. While it's not a solid top it is one of the best lower end guitars you will play. I've had mine for 10 years now and i love it. I actually play it more than my more expensive solid top. Just lower the action on it and put on some phosphor bronze strings and you will be sure to love it.

Re: Bought new guitar and i'm very unhappy (16 replies, posted in Acoustic)
To each their own but my first guitar was a Takamine Jasmine that i paid $100 for 10 years ago. It hasn't been through any other set ups other that lowering the action and changing the strings. I still choose to play it over my New Takamine that costed 5 times more and it actually plays better than any Martin or Gibson i have tried. Like i said though to each their own but a cheapy guitar can be a really good friend if you treat it right.

Re: strings & Capo? (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Sometimes if a capo is left on for a while it can pull the strings out of tune when it's taken off. Just give em a tune up and they should be fine.

Re: Strumming tricks (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
You could try some hammer on and pull offs. Maybe even bounce your fret hand on the chords. Alot of the spice you are looking for comes with a faster strum pattern. Just experiment with everything and stick with what sounds good to you.

I have seen many use the only the ring finger to "hinge" bar the A shape. I can't get my ring finger to behave that way and when I do attempt it, I end up flipping the bird.....
This is how i form the B chord and it works good for me. I just drop my middle finger on top on my index to help apply pressure for the barre and to avoid flipping the bird. It's the same with Fm and Gm chords also (two fingers). I guess it helps to have long fingers for this.
