My wife insisted I learn this wonderful medley. I took me weeks to clean it up but the reaction to it is so rewarding everywhere I play it. I had to admit she was right again.

Topic: Rattlers in guitar. (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
A long time ago I was told that if you put the rattlers from a rattlesnake inside your acoustic (without the snake)it would have a better sound. I have 13 rattlers and a button in mine and honestly can't tell a difference but I was wondering if anyone else had heard this.

Not at all CW. We have a van in common.
The Sheriff Dept. supplies me a 13 passenger van to haul work release prisoners to and from their jobs. I usually make a run that takes me from 6 to 8 in the morning to drop them off and then from 4 to 6 pm getting them back to the prison. The rest of the day is mine. Before that?

hi deadstring
i've been playing in public for 30 + years, [in pubs and clubs, i drink orange squash as i'm driving home], i never get nervous unless i'm playing with someone i'm not sure i can rely on.
as for fluffing your guitar parts we all do it, and the more you worry about it the more you'll do it.as for playing in church; it's not that the congregation wont forgive you, it's the fact that they'll all be gossiping about you till they find someone else to gossip about...so why worry, be flavour of the month and enjoy the notoriety... 15 minutes of fame and all that!

Re: Hi (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Well what a weekend! I spent most of it practicing songs I found on here, old songs that I thought were to hard for me to learn. I actually surprised myself on some of them.Little Red Riding Hood for example.
Friday night we had a hayride and weeny roast at the Church. They wanted to sing around the campfire so I took the Yamaha and did about 30 minutes for and with them.
Then today they wanted to hear one (we have a guitar at the Church) so I did "Where could I go"? It's not hard at all but at least I was confident enough to add some runs and modify my strumming pattern. My hands still got clammy but I never felt out of control. Thanks for the tips folks. I don't want to become a blabber mouth on here but I am exited. Have a good week!

Lewis Grizzard used to tell a story of a man standing on a corner with a large dog beside him. Another man comes by and says "does your dog bite"? The mans says no! He reaches down to pet the dog and it takes 2 of his fingers off. He says "I thought you said your dog didn't bite"! The first man says "That ain't my dog"!

Here's a real beginners song, two chords only and just revitalised here in Portugal as it is used as background music to an advert for Portuguese Electricity. This spiritual song was originally recorded by Laurie London in 1958 but I have yet to findout who is singing the new one.

This is the first song my 9 year old Grandson has learned.( I am teaching him as I learn. I hope it will turn into student teaching teacher situation one day.) Since The Long Black Train is among his favorite songs I showed him how to play it using C G and F. He is doing the one finger C and G right now but the fact that he can play and sing for his folks has really boosted his enthusiasm. Kind of like the song "Dream" by the Everly bros. did for me. So simple yet so pretty.

Re: Hi (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I really think you are on to something with the anxiety thing. This is not a large congregation were talking about (maybe 45) and I have known most of them for years. They don't expect perfection but yet my hands get ice cold and sweat at the same time. This is not the case every time. Sometimes I am very satisfied with my effort but last Sunday I was trying "He's Alive" and totally blew it. I just stopped, apologized and did Supper Time instead. They understood but it gets discouraging. Thanks for your replies.

Topic: Hi (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I posted this under New member but after browsing around a little I thought this was a more appropriate spot for it.
My first post. I am male, 65 1/2 years old and and semi retired. I have been pick strum strumming for several years. I reached a certain point and never got much better. I found this site (and a few others) and with the added off time my desire to do better has caught fire again. I have the basics of Travis picking pretty well worked out but when I try to do it in public I get all fumble fingered. (Fumbelfingers was my first choice for my forum name but it was already used.)I play 10 times better at home. What do I need to do to relax? I play at Church so no alcohol! HE HE!
