There are few watering holes to wash down some trail dust,but there's alot sagebrush between them.

Russ as young as you were when you started playing guitar. You must have started playing to get the chicks,I would think you would have a book full of contacts.

Pix,

That's a good one,I hope she doesn't look over your shoulder or you'll be dead hamburger meat!

Russ you are right on,

I am not a great lead player but you need to know where the rythm is going,when listening to it I felt the lead player wasn't always aware of where the keyboards were going.As Russ suggested,practice sessions will tighten up your band  and get your group groovin together.

We have a group that gets together monthly and it is amazing how the more times we run thru a song how the group gets together and starts sounding good.We usually have one person presenting his or her song and that person keeps the rythm and tempo going.

Russ is a Pro and gives good advice,so you have a good critic.

Howdy,

Another popular song that steps up and changes keys is "Me and Bobby McGee"  Fun to play.

Just one more,

If you are in Wyoming don't forget the Bighorn Mountain Festival  July 10-12  Buffalo Wyoming it will be day and night Jamming

Seeing it's your birthday,I think you should grab your guitar and a tall cool smooth one and chill out before the game.

Hello Everyone,

"Hello In There" is a great song and I have been playing it for a long time and probably won't change my picking pattern on it.

There is a good tutorial on youtube by jordanthecat and his version is closer to the original than mine.We both use the same chords just picked alittle different.THe nice thing about Prine songs they can be strummed,picked or whatever and still be good.
   
Here's a couple links from jordanthecat     www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6z0I5aBeXU&feature=channel_page

This song is a little tough to get the timing down on and the picking but when you do it will,make you smile,maybe cry and hopefully make you feel wonderful.

Nela,

We usually tune up with chromatic tuners,then check each other out with a few chords to see if we have it right.Alot of times one of us will use a capo and play the same key in a different progression up the neck.

In regard to tuners I recently purchased a chromatic tuner that was alittle over a half step off.I didn't notice it right away,so I don't know if it come out of the box like that or not.I noticed it when I broke a b string on a kids guitar and thought i better check it out and sure enough it was a little over a 1/2 step off.The store replaced it and has sold 100's of them and hadn't seen it before but I guess If I had any doubts on a tuner I would check it with another source.

Monte is really somethin, another cover that he does is one of my favorites!
