Seeing things like this makes me question my attempt at playing guitar. This kid is like 3 years old I'm guessing. He's got total control of his fingers already and even stops a couple times in the middle to scratch his nose and gets right back into it. If this kid sticks with it he will be awesome in no time. Wish I would have started that young. WOW.

As far as I know you are correct Detman. If you're capoed 2nd to get E, then open would be D.
I don't know anything about what key a song is in but according to this chart you are right.

Have a look here:

Same as the chart above.

Very cool Rich!!!

I have Small Town ready to learn. I just have to add it to my practice sessions. A few on my list are Our Country, Without Expression, Teardrops Will Fall, Walk Tall, & Troubled Land.

Any of those in your playbook?

If we're talking about future drummers also. This kid gets my vote!!

Makes you feel like you wasted lots of years playing in the sandbox.

He supposedly invented the "Devil Horns" we have come to love so much.

His music will live on forever. A true heavyweight in the hard rock world.

Nice job Pix!!! 

Quick question, how do get the varnish to blend? Do you spray it? I work with wood on occasion and when re-varnishing I usually do the surrounding area also. Or to whatever edges so I don't have to worry about the varnish looking diff.

WOW!! And that's just for Mother's day.
So let's see how this pans out for you. Anniversary is a new pickup, for your birthday an amp, maybe a new car for Christmas!?!?!??!?

I wish you many years of happy strumming on your new Epi.

Welcome to Chordie Billy!!!

Chordie is basically a search engine. It finds what you search for on other sites and formats it the way you see it.  As far as I know you would have to post it on another tab site so Chordie can pick it up.

Someone more knowledgeable will chime in with more info.

Glad to hear that the picks are still making their trek. I put the tread tape in there. Hope it comes in handy for you. I use it on my picks to keep them from slipping out of my hand. I put the thick rubber wedgies in there too. Don't know if that's what you took, but cool!!! Someone else's junk is another mans treasure.

Keep the picks moving!!!!!!!

I don't mean to hi jack this thread, but I disagree with Zurf's #2.

A newbie hears a song and says I want to play THAT. As a newbie, there is no inkling to add a personal touch. A newb wouldn't even know how to do that. I find that after 1 1/2 years of playing, I can just now go back to songs I already know and add things. But the things I add are still from other's I see playing those songs. Adding my own stuff to change it up is something I cannot do. I don't have the musical aptitude.

What it's supposed to sound like is the way we have heard these songs for years and years. It's kind of a double edged sword. We don't want t change it because that's why we like it and we don't have the knowledge to do so. I don't know of any newbs that pick up the guitar with the intent to interpret songs they like. We strive to play what we hear. When we get it that's what makes us feel like we can take on the task with this guitar thingy. Getting it makes us want to progress.

So as far as what it's "supposed to sound" like, that is a newbie's compass.

I'm not bashing Zurf. I'm sure he forgets more stuff than I've learned. This is just what I have experienced and what works for me.

Welcome to Chordie Natsumi!!!!

You have found an awesome forum with lots of knowledgeable people.

Here are a few suggestions:

Justinguitar.com

On youtube search yourguitarsage.

These guys are very helpful for me. I've only been playing about 1 1/2 years.

Oh 1 more. Do a search for "mike herberts 10 strum google video". It's a good video.

When combining the strumming with chords, your chords need to be second nature. You can't think about 2 diff things at once. With your chords being instictive you can concentrate on your strumming. Start slow and it will come to you.

Money and fame make people crazy. Because they are spoiled and get everything they want and don't have to work for any of it, they rely on other outlets. I agree there is way too much money being thrown around in the entertainment world. Doctors and teachers should be the highest paid people in the world if you ask me. To make millions playing a game or being on tv is ridiculous. When we have homeless people living on the street why does a football player get 20 million a year? Something wrong there I think. It is not common to find a celebrity that doesn't indulge in the wrong way.  Money can get them whatever they desire, but that must get old. So they end up doing stupid things that get them in trouble.

I have heard that most athletes have alot more testosterone than an average guy. That's why they are athletes. Because of this, it takes more to satisfy them. So you can't have a football player just turn off his aggression once the game is over. They need to find more things that give them a rush. More sex, drugs, etc. I personally think this is a crock. They are grown ups and can make decisions for themselves.
