I know what you mean, topdown. I can remember sitting listening to a new LP for HOURS! Listening, looking at the artwork, reading the notes. HOURS! For one LP!

There are a few albums on iTunes that you have the option of also downloading the artwork and sleeve notes. The last one I got like this was by The Kooks. But, as I say, these are few and far between.

But maybe all is not lost.....

My daughter, who is 11, loves CDs and would MUCH MUCH rather go to a record store and buy a hard copy than the faceless digital spectre. If there are enough of her kind around, then maybe, just maybe, the album artwork will become a standard part of every download.

Or maybe I'm just old and incurably sentimental about these things....

Don't be afraid to let us know what you're thinking, littlebiglad. You may feel you're not ready to share your experience but, believe me, there will always be someone out there going through what you have just got over. Don't be afraid to join the group hug.....

I'd say that electric is easier. Easier to fret the strings and therefore easier to barre. But I'd definitely get your acoustic set-up checked out. A good set-up can make a world of a difference. I've said many times on chordie that I am horrified at the condition of the guitars that many stores sell. Poorly set up, not cleaned, wildly out of tune. A good store will have all their guitars well set up and well displayed. Large stores are the worst for this; they're not interested until you're spending a 4 figure sum. Lessons is always a good idea.

Hey bud! The thing I notice is that, like loads of other Youtubers, this guy records this in the bathroom. I've seen this on loads of posted videos. I guess you get a better sound in there.

By the way, what happened to your latest offering? You took it off!

C'mon the Paisley Buddies!!!!!!!!

A hole?....... 2 halfs........ thanks, make mine a Glenfiddich! (Scottish joke)

Ach, I couldny resist it

I'd agree with Royce Drake here. Don't buy a cheap, nasty "first guitar". They stink! And they can be very hard to play.

My first was an old nylon string classical which was great for learning the basics on. And not so bad on the fingers. I'd also go for the 3/4 size.

Peace to you, Badeye. Really sorry to hear your news. You sound like you have a fine family, who will all help each other through this. My sincere condolences to you all.

Future gatherings will never be the same but they will be very special. Peace and Guitars.

All the very best,

Al V

Mmmmmmmmm...........

Now you've got me all a quiver. Tha man who inspired me to play guitar plays a black Gibson SJ-200. A beautiful instrument and one I could never dream of being able to afford. I'd love just one day have a touch of one.......Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

It's just occurred to me that posting a TAB for this song may not be in the best interests of Chordie so I'll stop right here. Oops!

Merry Christmas to everyone out there. Enjoy yourselves. And if you get a chance to make some music, enjoy it even more!

All the very best wishes to you all and your loved ones.

Here's a starter

I'll try and get some more later, when I've got more time. Bare with me....

Thanks SP,

Same gauge strings, all in correct place. But now a slight fret buzz. Very annoying. Most folk don't notice  but I can hear it like a band saw. I'll get myself some decent quality strings and see if it helps. If not then I'm concerned.

I've used 11's on it since I bought it, although it had 12's on when I got it (about a year and a half ago), which I changed within days. Should I go back to 12's?
