ackk oooops.. lol... i found another mic, that i plugged in, & that didn't work either.. until i saw it had a mute switch on it! haahaaa.. so now i've got sound, but it's veryyy veryyy quiet.......

hello again all..    I do look back on that video quite frequently, & compared to now, its rubbish, lol. Now i play it totally fluently with no mistakes, forgetting the chords or words.  So you're suggesting, Roger, i record 2 copies, one picking, one strumming, & mix them..?  Yes, that sounds cool, i'll have a look in the recording section & see what i can do! I'm sure i can find a program or someone can recommend one that'll mix the 2 recording together.  My electric guitar has taken a back seat for a while, in favour of my acoustic, but maybe i could mix some picking with the electric, with some acoustic strumming.. or visa versa.. Hmmmm... certainly food for thought..!  I can play LOTS of whole songs on the acoustic... watch this space!

I've used medium gauge since i started playing in May this year. But i had my guitar re-strung recently, & thought i'd try out some lightweight strings to see if they'd help me get those rotten barre chords! They do seem to help quite a bit!  I have caught my thumb a few times on the high E strings & ended up with something like a papercut, because the string is so thin. Cheesewire comes to mind... lol

Hmmmm... what's the exchange rate on those prices to the English pound ?
I'd rate a 'cheap'  guitar at around 100-300(my pound sign doesn't work on my keyboard!)
Mid price 300-500
higher price  500-800
very high 800-1200
top price 1200- ????

But saying that, i could be completely wrong, as that's what my personal opinion is.

It's never even occured to me to wash my hands before playing!  It's not something i'm ever gonna do either, lol.. (unless maybe i just buried one of the kids in the garden..........)

when i wanna play... i just... play!  Sometimes i'll pick up my baby & her stings will feel a bit tacky, so i'll give them a clean with some FastFret. I do take a bit more care with my electric Ibanez.  I clean all the lil nooks & tiny bits with cotton buds once a week.

All 4 of my guitars & gear are on stands in the lounge.. & they call out to me all the time.... 'play me.. play me!'  I get really pished off if someone wants to watch TV in there & i either can't play.. or hafta go elsewhere, lol

I repsect your opinion, i just think it's stupid...

I'm 33.   I 1st learned to play guitar at school, at the age of 11/12.  I gave up after a year, & all i learned went out of my head!  I've always regretted not keeping it up, & in May this year i aquired an old classical guitar.  I got myself a book, learned some chords,  & started looking up simple songs on the internet to play.  Since then, the number of chords i can play has grown, therfore so has the list of songs.  I also have an electric guitar (Ibanez GAX70) & a lovely new acoustic.  I estimate that i play for at least 3 hours a day, more if i can. I love it!
