Sorry to hear "perfect rage" didn't enjoy your song choice Toots... I did tho... thank you AGAIN for sharing it with us all.  Pastor Laurence, thank you for sharing Neil Diamond's version... I haven't heard that in a while!  He has such a... STRONG emotion in his music.  Bless you.

Um... welcome to Chordie rage... I hope you get to know folks around here and enjoy yourself... or not.  To each his own I guess.

WOW Jeff... 6 inches is a lot for the area you're in.  Good to hear those doing the plowing were able to keep up with it well.  Will it stay cold enough to keep the snow around for Christmas? 

Cam... it is interesting isn't it?  I live about 30 minutes from my father's house... he's in that "tug hill region" and the night we got 4 inches, he got that 3 feet.  Just amazing!  North Carolina still sounds like a good place to live, especially if 6 inches is the "worst of it"!

Bushy... good LORD!  Over 100 degrees F is NOT on my list of places to visit let alone live or work!  Well... maybe I'd visit as long as I could get into some air conditioned spaces!  Keep cool!  That's some serious heat to have to be working in.

Congrats Linusguitar!  Thank you again Pix!

AHHH!  Now you're talking my language!  Perhaps if I just sit down and figure this all out, and then make up some cheat sheets, I may actually learn something (and if not, I'll have the cheat sheets!)

Jerome... I love the idea of the circle of 5th tattoo!  Hmmm... now you've got me thinking!  Too bad you're so far away, my husband is a tattoo artist but it's not his day job.  He's darn cheap!  So much that I yell at him a lot for it!  Of course that just turns on his selective hearing mode.

Russell - that is good info to know... but then when I start looking at scales and thinking about how it could be possible to remember them and construct chords, the 7th is just another thing to try to figure in there and it does get tricky.  I might just keep that tid bit of info in the back of my head tho!  It is a pretty basic note to keep in mind.  I like that Wayne started out slow with just one key however... it gets aweful confusing when I look at one scale, then another, then another and try to think of how I could figure this all out "on the fly"

Well... it does sound, softer... but then, you're also farther from the camera and I didn't hear the "clicking" in the first place.  You're doing well for the time you've been playing... keep it up!

Thank you!  I appreciate the dissection. 

Hmmm... and to think, this thread started out as "how do I play F?" and turned into a music theory lesson.  Ahhh... that music theory keeps poking jabs at me everywhere I go... I must learn it... I must... but I've been fighting it since high school, "Amy, take music theory with me, get some voice lessons, and apply to Fredonia" ... ahhh... if I learn some music theory now, maybe by the time I turn 60 I'll be ready for Fredonia!  LMAO!

LOL!  Jeff... we got about 4 inches the day before yesterday, the only hitch was that there were no after school activities.  It takes a REAL blizzard to actually shut down the roads... that is for the people who want to use that as an excuse not to go to work, but a lot of folks still do.  Here in the rural areas when it's snowing like crazy the back roads are the last to get plowed so it's common for them to have 2-4 inches of fresh powdery snow on them and everyone still drives through it! 

In fact... Here's what it looked like outside my house Wednesday night

I hear they got about 3 foot up on Tug Hill Wednesday night (a famous area around here for great snowmobile trails all winter long) and they're happy as pigs in poo! 

I understand that there's not a plethora of plows and salt trucks in the south, so I can appreciate the concern over "nearly half a foot of snow" as it's probably exaggerated.  Yet, you're talking about that coming down over a course of several days... hmmm.... and ... running to the store to stock up like a blizzard is on the way... huh?  LOL!  Thanks for the giggle!

GREAT inspirational stories!

We know a little old lady who was probably very crabby in her youth (heck, she's pretty crabby now).  She has family alive, but none of them have anything to do with her.  My mother in law has befriended her and drives her around doing her errands as she can't see well anymore.  She has fallen in love with my little girls.  She thinks the world of them.  Sooo... we invite her to school functions and such... she spent Christmas morning with us last year.  She can get "mouthy" with her opinions, but I just let it slide off remembering that older folks have opinions for reasons, and chances are they're right even if I don't agree at the moment!  We give her pictures of the kids... and my 4 year old treats her just like a grandmother giving her hugs and kisses and such.  Well... I just found out that she has a fortune that she does not wish to share with her family that has nothing to do with her.  This year she paid for half of my daughter's dance classes, sent us $300 for Christmas and insisted ALL presents come from SANTA (but agreed to allow me to write her name on ONE SMALL gift for each kid) and my mother in law says she's said something about her will... her car to my son and a portion of her estate to my girls.  I wish I didn't know this stuff... cuz I'd like to just be kind to her without the info as I have been all along... she's in her late 80's and she deserves a little family like everyone else.  When I said to her, "Loretta, you know you don't have to do this for Christmas, that's a lot of money for the kids especially after paying half of Steph's dance!" ... she got angry with me and in a TONE said, "Well now that's stupid, of course I don't HAVE to."

You never know who you're encountering.  That crabby old lady in line at the grocery store might just be crabby because she needs a little love.  A simple smile goes a LONG way if that's all you can afford to give!

LOL!  Ok... so I'm only cheating if I play a Fmaj7 in place of an open F?  YAY!  And here I thought it was considered a cheater if you didn't use the "barre" F!  Wayne... you have made my day with your rant! 

As for the barre F... did I get that part right on how to play it?  That one I posted is THE (one of the) "barre F" right?  Say "BARRE F" fast three times...

there... now I'm done too    LOL!

Ha ha!  No problem, any time!  Hey... if you click on my website link, you can see how I'm progressing too... remember to crank the volume way down and put your earplugs in first!    LOL!

I can't hold a pick... they literally fall OUT of my hand... I am experimenting with a thumbpick and loving it ... but I did just get a slew of neat and different picks in the "picks around the world" (check the chat thread) ... so we shall see!

LOVELY!  I've just updated my location.  I also went ahead and added some pictures to the pin locations that didn't have any.  If you have a picture that you'd prefer on your pin, please feel free to email me and I'll gladly change it for you!
