Ken,
Here's a piece of an article I read;

Relationship
In 2001, proof of Jack and Meg White's 1996 marriage emerged yet they continued to insist publicly that they were brother and sister. The couple had been divorced in 2000 just before the band gained widespread attention .

In a 2005 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jack White claimed that this deception was intended to keep the focus on the music rather than the couples' relationship:

When you see a band that is two pieces, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, you think, "Oh, I see..." When they're brother and sister, you go, "Oh, that's interesting." You care more about the music, not the relationship -- whether they're trying to save their relationship by being in a band.

I second Roger's compliment. This is a chart that every guitarist must memorize top to bottom, or bottom to top, however one looks at it. (Bottom is the lowest sounding string, or thickest: Top is the highest sounding string, or thinest)  Good stuff!

"Hard To Handle" was written by Otis Redding(Black Crowes popularized it)

"Red, Red Wine" was written by Neil Diamond(UB 40 popularized it)

"I'm A Believer" was written by Neil Diamond (poularized by The Monkees)

"Rocky Top" and "Love Hurts" were written by Felice and Bouleaux Bryant

just a few for the plate.............

You keep doing what feels most comfotable to you. A few noteable players that play the way to play are Seal and Albert King(blues guy). Also, right handed guitars are much more available to test in stores than lefties. I played in a band many years ago with a dude(Ritchie McCort) who played lefty w/ a righty guitar. He was amazing to listen to but almost impossible to follow. He was the lead guitarist, I was the rhythym guitarist. Keep on doin' what feels most natural to you. As you advance and improve your unorthodox playing style will definitely turn some heads. A 'gimmick' if you will, might be the extra little ingredient that'll get you noticed.........................

The version James sent is spot on correct. The little instrumental bridge changes key. It goes from Am to F#m so if you're soloing be advised of this. If you're a bit wacko as am I and occasionally play harmonica over guitar solo parts the harmonica you want to stock in your halo would be an A. (F#m is relative minor of A)

I took two guitars to a collector who pays top $$ for vintage guitars. My 1976 Made In AMERICA Stratocaster and another not made in America guitar. I bought my 1976 Strat in 1986 for $450 used. I was offered $2,375.00 for my MIA Strat, which I quickly declined. The second guitar was not an American made guitar(classical Epiphone made in Japan) and I was offered only 15% of what I paid for the instrument.
   The lesson here is equity. The value increases over time. This must tell you something,eh?

I'll be the first to admit that my home country has many flaws and several items that deserve harsh critisism but our guitars do not fall under this category........In my humble yet educated opinion.

Good stuff Ken, real good! Welcome to Chordie. Tell us about yourself.

Do you mean illegal drugs or all drugs like like, religion, caffeine, nicotine, viagra, etc....?

I like to keep an audio library of my playing. When I feel as though I'm not improving, I'll bust out some of the tapes from the earlier days. You'll be amazed at how much progress you actually make. Even if one's chord base or scale execution hasn't expanded, the technique of what one knows and how one plays is greatly improved..............Hang in there, don't let it get the best of you. There are also tons and tons of free instruction on-line. Here's a good one for starters;
