Ha Kenny soaz!

Looks like the balloon's getting the bum's rush!

Is big business excluded from prosecution for being peeping Toms?

Hey again Mike_28!

WOW! This is excellent!

Suggestions? It doesn't need changing! Rock songs are usually quite up tempo and you might find another verse useful to fill things out; perhaps bringing it back to the opening comparison of the haves and have nots? You know your plans and it might mean my comments for additions are pointless (tempo, solos, etc).

Look forward to hearing this if/when you record it!

Good on yer! An excellent piece of work!

Hey Meggiedude and welcome to Chordie!

Less than £20 for a travel guitar? Bargain! If you get fed up with it, don't burn it, I'll buy it from you for £15 including postage ! Looking forward to hearing more from you!

Hey Jerome! In that Shawn Lane vid, was he smoking a Bidi (Indian cigarette - tobacco wrapped in a bayleaf) or did he need the sunglasses?

My mate Big Bob from Briszle (don't argue!!!) bought himself a Martin Backpacker and let me play it (trust me, I was VERY careful!) I think the volume is much greater on yours Al, but the thing the Martin has is a VERY playable neck.

Hey Ken! I have a friend who works in the travel biz and he said there are many complaints about people going for a quiet walk in the highlands and being annoyed to find the hulls aleeve wi tha soond o' mewzuc; you wouldn't know anything about this, would you?

Brilliant thread! I now know lots more names and styles of travel guitar that I never knew existed! (I thought they were ALL like the Martin Backpacker!)

Good on yer all!

Hey Stephenmperrotti and welcome to Chordie!

When you see the 6 lines of a tab, they represent the strings. The topmost line represents the top string (played open it's the highest sounding note) also called Top E or the first string. Imagine laying your guitar flat on your lap and putting the tab over the stings, each line corresponding to the string of the guitar underneath.

The numbers on the lines represent the frets. If you see a 0 (zero) on a line it means you play that string open. If you see a number on a line you play that string fretting at the fret number indicated.

---------0--------
---------1--------
---------0--------
---------2--------
---------3--------
------------------

The above represents a C chord with all notes played at once (strummed or plucked together). 1st string open, 2nd string fretted at 1st fret, 3rd string open, 4th string fretted at 2nd fret, 5th string fretted at 3rd fret and 6th string not played (in this instance).

------------------0--------------
---------------1-----1-----------
------------0-----------0--------
---------2-----------------2-----
------3-----------------------3--
----------------------------------

The above represents that same C chord arpeggiated, or each note played individually one after the other, up then down again.

I hope this is clear, if not get back and all will be explained!

Chons da!

Hey S.N.S and welcome to Chordie!

The best thing to do would be to post a new thread in the Chat Corner and introduce yourself, say how long you've been playing, what you play, what styles you like, location and age aren't important on the Forum, but including them might help you meet up with like-minded people in your area (or you can leave stuff like that 'til later - a chacon son tempo - as the French say (at your own tempo)).

True intentions are respected and supported here, but we need more to go on. If someone said "Let's do a 12 bar in E," and you hate blues, it aint gonna happen!

They're a good crowd here and will give everyone fair go so tell us something and someone, I'm sure, will help if they can.

Welcome, jump in and have fun!

Chons da!

Hey Zurf!

Is any dose of Bossa Nova NOT fatal?
