You need to post a u-tube video link so we can hear it in order to scull out the chords.

I have that one. Can you do the whistle part?

I got to try that guitar out when we visited Topdown for a jam in North Carolina.
I really liked it. He had a really cool man cave too!

Been playing this song in a medley with "Shake it up Baby" by the Beatles. Back and forth from one to the other. A,D and E. Fun!

I used to work with a maniac bass player who broke "A" and "E" strings on his Fender bass guitar. He would pull the strings up to his chin before he let go. The percussive effect out front would move your hair and jiggle your clothes.
I pound the daylights out of my old Gibson 330 playing rock rhythm. I break strings occasionally but always carry spares in my case.
If you only change strings once a year, rust, funk and mildew can cause a string to break. Or it can get so old it may opt for suicide after sounding so darn dead for so long.

Like Guitarpix, I worked as a painter (houses) for years. Messy work but I like the quiet. Rebuilt and restored a wooden sailboat. it only took me five years. I sailed her for 17 years and gave her away when it was time for another rebuild.

I ran my tuba through a small P.A. with tens and horns. We weren't very loud but I blew a ten inch speaker.

Some piano songs are easily adaptable to guitar. Some are not.
A piano can throw down ten tones in a chord. Guitars are limited to four to six. The only way to find out if a guitar CAN get away with a piano arrangement is to try it and see if it sounds alright.
In my cover band days I found several Elton John tunes that worked great with guitar rhythm.

They now have a bi-weekly blues jam at a bar called the Silver Dollar near here. Went up and listened in last week. Lots of three-chord blues played well and really loud. They invited me to bring my tuba up this Sunday for snicks and grins. I'm gonna give it a go.

During the '79 Hurricane, Fredrick, my buddy and I stupidly decided to ride two blocks to the Mobile Bay beach around midnight to see what we could see.
We got out of our car at the beach and had to hang on to the car door handle to avoid being blown away. On our way back to the house the street got blocked by trees falling and power lines shooting sparks in the street. We tried three other possible routes back to my house and only on the last possibility did we find a way back home. Never again!
