Time and practice. Everyone who ever picked up this wonderful instrument has struggled with Barre chords.
You WILL get it.

Talking of Guns n Roses. . . Sweet Child of Mine sounds great on acoustic. Sheryl Crow does a superb version of this if you can get a hold of it.

Is it only on the US store that you can buy a black T-shirt? I had a look in the Euro store and it only seems to be white that is available.

Re: Merry Christmas from Scotland!! (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Boxing Day now. My belly has subsided and I can move normally again. I hope you are all recovering from a fantastic Christmas Day and enjoying the kids enjoying their new stuff. Or indeed, enjoying your new stuff yourself.
We made it to church on Christmas Day for the 1st time in years and it was truly beautiful.
Wishing you all the very best from Kilbarchan, Scotland. Looking forward to the new year.
All the best,
Alvee, Mrs Alvee and Alvee Jnr.

Re: A SONG ON MYSPACE & YOUTUBE (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi Doc, how the hell are you?
I don't have a youtube account myself but there are thousands of guys on there playing covers. Jeez, there are even guys on there showing you how to play songs. I don't think they would all be on there if you had to pay. And if there were legal problems surely youtube would just take them off.
Ach, just go for it!
