I believe it slides to 13 there and then has a little muted strum/chop before continuing but I could be remembering wrong.... Have you checked out youtube for song lessons yet? I'm sure you could find one for this song that will carry you through it step by step.....

I thought it sounded fine...

I bought the music for this some time back and just checked it to be sure and the progressions correct it's G7...  I just tried it with plain G and it just doesn't seem right to me. Then again I've played it with G7 for years now so I guess I'm just accustomed to that 7th sound throughout the progression....

Convey best of wishes from me too Cam...

Hope you can make the jam man! I'm looking forward to meeting you and toots in person and seeing Tops again. Yea, don't fret the ability man, it's all about having a good time! Besides, if you go you'll see fast enough how much I really suck smile I haven't been playing too long myself... almost 4 years...

Zurf, as soon as you get a date in mind let me know! I'd love to try and make this one.... If I'm welcome wink

Tops looks like the vid is a no go at the moment.... After 5 seconds the audio goes to static in everything I try to record...??? I've got tomorrow off and plan on trying to fix the problem if I can find it.....Here's the version though http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.u … ;id=166611 I play it barred but looking at the chords it should be fairly easy to play open if you prefer...

Bump smile  Figured I'd draw some more attention to this post.....   I had a hard time finding it again in the stickies.

Do you video chat??   I'd be happy to play a little with you that way and share some of the tunes/progressions that I found easy when first learning to barre myself...

Play any song that you normally play....   Just play it in barre.... That way you already know the changes and rhythm and all you have to concentrate on is the addition of Barre chords.

Norman make a nice cedar top guitar that sound real nice.



badeye   cool

You know, after going over the specs for the Norman folk models, they are fairly close to a OM size......   It's not EIR and don't have a cutaway but that ST40 Folk http://www.normanguitars.com/st40folk.html looks tempting and the price is right for an all solid cedar/hog guitar. Maybe Mahogany would be a smart move with it on "the list" now and becoming more scarce and expensive.... Most brands have already switched over to sapele which they call African mahogany even though the trees are not related at all.... Hmmmmm.... Thanks for making me take a second look at 'em badeye smile

I'm in on any date smile   However if everyone is good for the 20th that would work out great for me wink  My wife and I's 13th anniversary is on the 22nd and we plan on spending a few days in the mountains....  We could stop in and spend Saturday with everyone before we mosey on up to the hills.   That said, if another day works better for everyone else, I'll still be there smile

You know me man, I'll travel and meet pretty much anywhere as long as I can get about a weeks notice to arrange my schedule smile  I'd love to hook up with you guys sometime and jam a bit just let me know what works best for you guys!

Hey badeye, I'm a huge fan of godin products and if they offered one I'd be all over it smile Unless they've changed though, they only offer a Dread, Folk, and Parlor.....    Norman's sister company Simon and Patrick started making om's this year but all are spruce topped sad I've got an email in to them asking about the possibility of a custom build using a cedar top but haven't heard back yet....

Don't be a wood snob - get a CA!

Aren't they out of business now, or are they??? It seems like I heard they were bought out after they announced their closure and the new owners may continue with the brand....   I'd consider one but I need to hook up with someone that's got one so I can give it a trial run (hint, hint) smile

Martin 1 Series are great at the price youre looking for but i'm not sure how easy the Cedar top will be to find. The Takamine EF740SGN looks like it would fit your description minus the cutaway but priced nicely at around $700 new and you know the quality on a good Takamine as well as i do. Then there is the Boulder Creek ECRM4-N that looks just like something i could see you playing. It is deffinately worth checking out cause i've never seen another acoustic like it.

Thanks Dforsky,  Martin is out.... Sorry to all their fans but I just don't care for 'em..... The Boulder creeks I've seen and am a little nervous about.... All solid wood guitars custom built by a luthier in texas for around $700!   hmmmm just seems too good, you know what I mean.

Not familiar with that tak model right off hand but will give it a look over as soon as I post this smile

Thanks again guys!!

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Bass viking, I'm familiar with Blueridge guitars and have played quite a few of them but ,as far as I know, they don't offer anything in a ceder top...

Bushy I like the BG808's looks and specs... I've played 2 Matons (neither was that model) and the one's I tried sounded superb plugged in, however they seemed weak (thin sounding) unplugged and my main concern would be the natural tone. They seemed to be built on the heavy side and targeted more toward the gigging musician. Have you tried the 808 personally? I'd be interested in your thoughts if you have smile

Thanks again guys!  Any more suggestions for me to look into?

The holiday season is getting close and I've been thinking of what to hit myself up for this year wink  So here's what I've decided I want and I'd like your input on available brands/options out there that I may not be aware of....

I want a smaller body acoustic, full depth (no thin models), electronics are optional (though I don't like barndoor electronics) but would prefer a cutaway for access up the neck, Thinking an 00 or OM body shape/size, 1 3/4 neck (or close to it) and I want some radius to the board, Needs a Cedar top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides. All solid woods would be nice but only the top must be so.... 14 frets to the body, I'm flexible on the scale of the guitar as long as it doesn't drop below 24.5 inches so I can still tune down easily.

As you can probably tell from my specs, I'm looking for a comfortable picker. Something responsive to a light touch with a good bottom end punch but keeping the highs fairly tight....

So you guys have any recommendations for me to consider??  Oh yea, I'd like to keep the price around a grand and have no problems buying used to get more for my money smile

I think the songs should reflect the people getting married and that you should let them give you a set list or at least some ideas of what musical tastes they have....

Here's a few I played at a wedding a couple of months ago..... They were friends of mine and both are surfers so it was easy for me wink

Waiting on an angel -Ben Harper
Better Together - Jack Johnson
Angel - Jack Johnson
Which way your heart will go - Mason Jennings
Be here now - Mason Jennings
Heart of Life- John Mayer
I will be the one who loves you the most - Brett Dennen
I will keep the bad things from you - The Damnwells
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
Dealer Wins - The Beautiful girls
Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits

That's all I can remember at the moment..... I'll see if I can find my set list and share some more later......

Ibanez offers replacement parts for most models.... Check this list and find your model, the part you're looking for is the battery box/clip... http://www.ibanez.com/parts/2001_PARTS/ACOUSTIC/AW.HTM  If it has the fishman electronics the part # should be 5ABB10-0R  and if it's not fishman it'll be 5ABB06-1N... Contact ibanez through their website and they can probably send you a replacement... If not contact fishman directly with the part # and they should be able to hook you up smile
