Howdy Doody and Welcome to Chordie  pcoulter31 and zguitar. smile

No such thing as a stupid question here. big_smile

As you can see...we're a real friendly bunch that love to give and receive any kind of advice that is available.
Another tip touched on and is a valuable source is Youtube, or pretty much any online music site.

Simply search out the song you want, add "tutorial" or "cover" in the search string and you should find a wealth of vids that show and explain how they are played. Notice though that they might not be how they were written originally. That's OK though as it all helps.

Hope that helps you get gooder. big_smile

I am looking forwards with great pride to precociously picking picks to play and part with.

Roger Guppy is next on the list after me . (Grandfather clause prior to new rule)
When Roger receives his picks he will post "Package Received" The next poster is winner. big_smile

As Topdown has delegated as the new rule for taking part: When the pick package is received, whomever receives the picks will post "Package Received" The first to respond to the thread on board will be the next chordian in line. Addresses sent by private Email by the winner to the previous winner.

Lets keep this thread cooking with some pics of some picks.

Hey Russ...:)
Did any one ever tell you that your style is similar to Dire Straits...I can hear it smile in this song.  That's one of the cool things about listening to your tunes.....Your flexibility.
Listening to your tunes is like a box of chocola....You know what I'm gonna say. lol

The sign of an artist is versatility.
I be liking this one to-o-o.

Good for him, his Mom and Pop and you .:)

Hey Shady...Kudos to you. big_smile

If ever there was a someone that deserved a tribute song in this age of electronics surely it would be Les Paul.
You made me feel kinda guilty that I didn't do one. You might have opened up the gates on this one.

Good Call and Very Good Write and Recording. smile

Hey Selso...Can't go wrong with John Prine. smile
If I ever regained the moxy to do an open mic I would go loaded for bear. Try and get a feel of what the audience is into and then play for them the most emotionally connecting song that you know and play well enough to highlight your style of playing and singing.
I could be wrong but I think audiences at open mics are there for the atmosphere. Play to that using your strengths and you'll have a blast my friend.

Looking forwards to a couple of gleaming reviews in Southpaws thread.

Have a Blast smile

That's kinda bizarre you brought up "Armies of Darkness" Zurf. lol That has been on at least 4-5 times in the last 6 months as a late-or later than late movie. Me, not being as young as I us'ta was can never manage to stay awake long enough to  watch it and I always end up kicking myself the next day (I gotta tell you that is starting to hurt). The preview looks hilarious so I guess now I am gonna buy myself a DVD player and rent it. cool

I can't remember skippy's name that stars in it but he has been in other campy movies. His name is on the tip of my tongue but I can't read upside down. lol

Cool..no commercials and instant replay. I love this country.

Thanks for bringing it back into my thought proccess. big_smile

KAP

Ya-Ya!!! Anold will be back,(And Jamie Lee too...please) the question is will it be before he is past his action days? or is he already.
That is why God made the DVD player.

Cool...No commercials and instant replay. I love this country.

Good idea topdown, the first person to post after "package received" should be next but not until "package received" is posted by the recipient.
Pick pics would be cool to. I would imagine they vary somewhat.
This means you still have to watch closely to participate, keeping the thread going. big_smile

Very professional productions on both vids. Kudos on a very important subject. How old are your nephews? cause they do good work. smile
They got my vote.
Last week it was announced that the H1N1(swineflu) has jumped to turkeys in I think it was Argentina. Although they don't seem that concerned about it cause it is not airborne and they have it contained, I for one will hold a healthy skepticism.


Nothing wrong with being informed. big_smile

Hi Lena,

In times such as this it is important to try and remember all the little things that have transpired in your lifetime with your brother and your family.
Continue to write them down with a proud or peaceful or tearful smile, and if willing than share your times in song and poem with all your friends here on Chordie.

Peace be with you and your family

Hugging you in Canada

Great Story Wayne, that must have been a blast jamming with them. I wonder what you would have done if he flipped his guitar while you guys were playing.
Me....I would have stopped playing to try and figure out what just happened. lol


Chatham County Line big_smile  I'll have to keep my ears open. Real tight vocals.
There is a city called Chatham, 60 miles from here. I don't suppose they get up here to play?

Thanks topdown

I'll find them somewhere...Where there's a will there's a way. big_smile
Hey Wayne...I liked that Elizabeth Cotten's "Freight Train" Did you notice that she is a lefty and is playing her guitar upside down. That is the first time I have seen that done, I've heard of it but never seen it. Very Cool Thanks.

Welcome to Chordie holder23 smile

All great advise given and I'm sure there will be more to come...Like mine lol

When I first started playing guitar I had a heck of a time learning to strum. It was suggested by a friend to learn strumming using a very flexible pic. It made sense to me to me cause the pick always managed to grab a single string or my awkwardness in strumming (trying to strum) made it very discouraging. I went for a .38 MM pick.After a while I got gooder at strumming and progressed to a heavier pick until I got to the point I was happy with my strumming. big_smile My mistake was that I picked up a lot of bad habits along the way which are tough to shake.

Lighter pick means: more forgiving while learning.
                             quieter playing, so you won't drive others crazy.
                             when you get gooder you will find a time and place for a light pick.

Hope this helps smile

Have fun and practice proper. smile
