Usaully the note after the / means that the root note of the chord has been changed. In this case to F.

Best I can come up with is simply barring across strings 1 - 4 at the 3rd fret and muting the 5th and 6th strings. i.e. XX3333.

Slightly salted butter with salt. lol

Only kidding mate. Hope you see the funny side.

I think I understand what you're saying. Is it bad to like a band when underneath all the music there is a Christian message? Like, are most of these bands bad BECAUSE of the message? Or, it's the message that's the important thing?

If we are talking about contemporary music then it has to relate to the contemporary world. An awful lot of Christian music presents a shiny, sugar coated way of life, which is fine for some purposes but which I (and I stress this is personal) find very patronising and sickly sweet.

It's not the message that is bad, it's the music or the lyric that is poorly constructed and presented.

I think the Christian music "scene" is so big now that it's a bit unfair to say that it's ALL rubbish. I have to admit to liking bands like Switchfoot and The Fray. But I also must admit that there is an awful lot of really bad Christian music that just makes me squirm. But that can be said for ALL music and not just Christian.

I interupted my wife doing a spot of online shopping the other day. This is what she was looking at:

Which reminds me - our anniversary is coming up.

I feel like Les Dawson doing jokes about his Mrs. I'll be onto mother-in-law jokes before you know it.

Buy a dishwasher sunshine! there the best piece of kitchen Kit! then you will have loads of time to entertain us all on the forum! lol.

I sense a touch of sarcasm so I'll just sit quietly in the corner.

In the UK tailgating is the practice of following the car in front TOO closely. Very closely.

I'm guessing there's another meaning which sounds like a lot more fun.

Nice one! I'd never thought of playing it that way before. Good to know.

Here here! I never fail to squirm when there is a "praise band" playing at church. Usually they're not too good and all that happy clappy Kuhm by Yah (or whatever) freaks me out.

Each to their own, I suppose, but don't expect me to be dancing in the pews.

Grump grump grump.

I think you may have mis-read my chord diagram. You don't need to cover 2 strings with 1 finger. Sorry for the confusion.

Hey Alvee,
Do you put them on at the same time or do you mean apart?

Both ways are good. But then I'll eat peanut butter with anything.

SHIT ON THE SHINGLE
Printable Version
4½ oz. dried beef
2 cups milk
2 tbs. butter
¼ cup flour
Salt and pepper
6 slices bread
Melt butter in pan, add dried beef. Cook 2-3 minutes to brown. Add milk (reserve ¼ cup for later), salt & pepper. Bring to boil. Mix flour and remaining milk together. Slowly add to boiling mixture until it begins to thicken. Serve over toast.

Now that looks like a bear just took a dump on your toast. I thought they went in the woods.......

An easy way to explain it is play your usual C major, then add your pinky to the 2nd string at the 3rd fret (although it may be easier to use different finger positioning, this is the basic shape). There are 2 ways I usually play it.

X32030   OR   X32033   (  fret    position  )
  21  3              21  43  (finger positioning)


I preferr the second option.

Check out Chordie's large chord chart in the Resourses section.

Hope I've helped.

As does most of Scottish cuisine. lmao.

I keep getting distracted by the picture of the corn dogs.

In Scotland we would serve it with chips (fries) and call it a sausage supper.

Incidentally, in Scotland we also have been known to deep fry Mars Bars in batter. What a healthy nation we are.

Sorry Wibble, but I recently just discovered that Muse and Radiohead are actually not the same band. Surprised the hell out o me. Sound like the same pretentious, wanky stuff to me.

There's alot of great opinions in here. This sucks that sucks. I'm not going to agree or disagree with any of them.

Have you ever spent years thinking a particular song sucks and then you learn to play the guitar and find that it's really fun to play. Now that sucks!
