Try making a clockwise circular motion with your right foot and then making a counter-clockwise circular movement with your right hand. Look what happens.
If you can achieve this you are a freak.

I'm guessing it's the whole concept of Christian music that adnek55 is saying is being misunderstood. By whom, I don't know.
I think one of the problems is that a great deal, in fact A VERY GREAT DEAL of Christian music is written by Christians FOR Christians. So is there a case for - if you're not in on it then you don't get it? I can understand that to a certain degree but I think the original point was that it was the actual music that was dull, not the philosophy of it. And unless you are in the heat of the moment, as it were, then the emotion and spirituality of the WHOLE THING is kinda lost.

I have found myself, at times, moved while singing what can only be described as a dirge. You know the kind of hymn that talks of great joy while singing what sounds like a funeral march. And yet there I am filling up and brimming over. That's hard to explain.

So I can inderstand where adnek is coming from but it still doesn't change my view that a lot of contemporary Christian music is awful.  But let's not forget there is a ton of mainstream music out there that is also total dross. Musically and lyrically speaking.
Surely we've all listened to a song and cringed at how bad it is. Christian or not.

Here here. You can't let the hurt out if your fingers are all in the wrong place.

Yeah I was taking the exchange rate into account. I'm just a tight fisted Scotsman. I'll never forget that £7 nylon string classic. It was held together with black adhesive tape. Honestly. But it did me proud for a year or so. I learned a lot on it and it got the bug started.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you are eager to learn then you don't need to splash the cash to get started. However once you do get started and the bug bites that's when you start to look at better instruments. £200 will get you a decent beast.

That's not to say that I don't look longingly at the Gibsons and Simon Patricks on the wall when I'm in the store.

Good grief!

I can only dream of playing like that. Truly amazing.

How's about...

I'm no expert but that should be close.

I have an electro-acoustic with a piezo pickup a find that if I crank the GAIN knob on my amp (it's a very simple amp) all the way to max and the volume not too high it sounds like what you're looking for. Watch out for serious feedback if you go too loud on the volume. Keep the bass fairly low and the treble mid to high.
Works for me.

Pick one of your favourite songs and play it using barre chords instead of open.

Marty McFly again.

Sorry Ken. I'm sure you understood what I meant. Historically speaking.
