This just came to me and once I began the story unfolded, unbidden and a little bit risque.

The Girl that Did Tricks In The Air.

She flew through the air like a naked buffoon.
Not a hair on her head, just a shapely full moon.
They asked “from where does this beauty here hail?”
She said “OK mate, I came here from jail.”

Her eyes wet with tears as the tight rope was wrapped.
Around her two wrists so it seemed she was trapped.
Forty feet high above all the heads.
One tragic slip...and the lady be dead.

“Call out the fire department” they called.
“Their ladder and blanket should catch should she fall.”
Her fingers now numb her skin turning blue.
They stood right below her wondering “what should we do?”

She looked down below her a feast to her eyes.
Ten hunky firemen “oooh, what a surprise.”
“Which one will catch me, if I would let go?”
With that in a moment her fingers let go.

Two big muscled he-men held out their arms.
They caught her, held tightly, protecting her charms.
“It's OK young lady” the fire chief exclaimed.
“I'll give you my coat, and my hat lest it rains.”

Eight strapping firemen stood like a fence.
Stuck to the floor, they were lost in a trance.
A shaply young lady they stood there and stared.
For she was the girl that did tricks in the air.

Go to a reputable music store. Try as many guitars as possible cheap and expensive, you have no obligation to buy and you'll have a good idea as to what you want and suits you best and they can advise you so ask questions. An electric will be easier to play than an acoustic.

Welcome Cenela, learning can be hard, remembering positions, how to finger properly and strumming or finger picking patterns. First question I'd ask is...how good is your guitar? If it's a cheapie chances are the strings are too high off the finger board and or the neck is too wide or deep. My advice would be to go to a music shop and try some good guitars, if you're serious about playing you'll try this. Play some of the tunes you're doing now then the difficult chords to see if it's easier to play. The strings may also be a factor if they're too heavy guage? For acoustic guitar I'd advise 10 or 11 guage. Hope this helps. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Sorry, but no I cant maybe someone else can. I can tell you that Tony Iommi detunes his guitar down one or two steps to get that deeper creepy sound. Hope This helps a bit?

I know how you feel Jeff. It seems every other vehicle is a white van, or blue van in the case of Amazon deliveries! As I live in a terraced street, the delivery person will knock door after door if the can't get an answer, they can't just leave the parcel as they'd get stolen!
You've written a very cleverly composed song.
