I dont get it,,, its just a Am w/ 2nd 3rd an 4th fingers and your index across the second fret.     Once i learned this form and the E shaped one,, I use the heck out of them.

KEEP AT IT-- Barr chords will save ya.

Hmm, could you explain?

^Didn't know that about Johnny Cash. He's a favorite of mine, I should learn more about him. Good advice, though. Gotta keep at it. F#m (really any F) was impossible for me, too. I remember telling my friends I couldn't do it, but they said I had to. And now I do all the time. (Still not my favorite, but I can do it.)

All in All. It's a Christian song. I've known it for a long time and played it at my Grandpa's church once, but now I'm playing it fingerstyle. Kinda making it up as I go.

As a woman with kids, I also have to add... your first labor and delivery - and the pain associated with it that no one can really warn you enough for!  LOL!

Haha! I watched my mom with her last kid and she did really good. No epidural. No tears - for the most part. And she was in real labor for 3 days!! Amazing. I'm afraid I had an inaccurate account of childbirth.

All good above. You might check the action of your strings, too. I had a lot easier time and much less discomfort when I had my strings lowered. Just a thought. Took me a couple weeks to get my fingers toughened, but again, that's different from person to person.

^lol!!

^yeah

I wouldn't want an island. I'd buy a huge ranch. Maybe in Kansas. Run everything on wind energy. Get me loads of cattle and a couple horses. Then I'd buy my friends new guitars and we'd build a big campfire and sing kumbaya and roast marshmallows. And I'd buy myself a Jeep Rubicon.

My Uncle has a Martin and it's the most beautiful sounding guitar I've ever heard, and a breeze to play. And, on the other hand, I've played guitars that nobody could make sound good. But, I guess it boils down to whatever rocks your boat... Martin rocks me. smile

Congrats, Amy - it's beautiful! Wish I could hear it properly, live, rather than on a dodgy Skype connection!
Have never really thought about a using guitar humidifiers, are they still necessary even in the damp of the UK? Never heard of using rattlesnake rattles, either - I'm assuming this is as a humidifier, rather than percussion?!

I did not mean to confuse anybody with the rattlers,it is just kinda like a good luck thing around here. I was told that if you were fast enough to get the snakes rattles you would be good at playing,mine came off of dead ones. I do not know if it counts but they did not get too bite me.

I've heard rattlers make fiddles sound better. Not sure about guitars. Most old timers around here will have a rattler - along with some crazy tale - in their fiddle.

Also, thanks to Ben, Z, and M.B. I'll get this avatar thing figured out if it kills me!

Yes, open chords up the neck. I don't know the official name, but I'm just looking for more variation.

Also, you don't need to do my picture. I gotta figure it out so I can change it anyway (and just for the sake of knowing how). I was actually just making sure I wasn't doing something wrong.

Thanks
