Hi Trish303,

My feeling, for what it is worth, is that the guitar that feels comfortable in your hands and sound good to you it the one to have. The make and the price do not matter if it suits you. I would always recommend having it set up professionally though to improve the action and make it easier to play.

Good luck,

Roger

Hi James,

I have had good fun with "Wedgie Torture" today. I decided to play it as a Rock song and have been really belting it out, so much so the old voice was beginning to go.

I had a big grin on my face though, imagining what would happen if you dressed in black leathers, bombed down the road on it, and pulled up at a bikers' bar!!!

Great song as usual.

Thank you

Roger

Hi Krish,

Bootlegger is absolutely correct.

Chordie is not a 'chat line' and one cannot expect instant answers. I always expect any posting I make to be unanswered for at least 24 hours (mind you I will still check it if I am online earlier hoping that someone has replied).

Not only is there the time difference delay there is also the fact that not everyone visits Chordie every day so the only answer I am afraid, is patience.

Take care,

Roger

Hi Andy,

Having listened to, and enjoyed, your songs and performance on MySpace I know you have a lot of talent but I am afraid my answer is the same as most others. You do need barre chords and only practice will make you learn them.

What may help though is a few lessons with a good guitar teacher to assist you to get your hand position correct and be able to give you exercises too. Just a thought.

Good luck,

Roger

Hi Jeff,

Hi Jeff,

A beautiful little song for Michiyo which she obviously appreciated. That deserves breakfast in bed for at least the next week.

Thank you,

Hello Jeff,

Nice song, having suffered more than my fair share of downs lately your song is like the light at the end of the tunnel. Laughter is a great healer and uplifter.

Thank you,

Hi James,

"She Moved Through The Fair" is not a song I know. However the link you sent me to Cara Dillon's version soon changed that.

The melody is wonderful and your lyrics superb, knowing the quality of your chosen instrument, I am dying to hear your recording of this song. It is a song full of hope.

Hi Cytania,

My faith in the written word has just been shattered

Thanks for the info, I have always thought that the original sheet music was approved by the artist before publication, it only goes to prove how wrong you can be.

I do have a computer programm that will decipher the chords from a midi file but it is not accurate. It usually need plenty of editing but it does give a general guidline and can be helpful on a tricky number.

Thanks again,

Roger
