Yes that "capo" is amazing, and 3 other guitars are in open tuning now.
Slowly the ring finger I can push already a little bit more force.
It can last 300 days before recovery, a nerve grows 1 millimeter a day.

That's my point.
I find it great all the people dancing on techno beat, but would you listen to it in the car?
I do know the songs you mention tuba are we speaking about melodies and/or lyrics.

1) MELODY.
2) LYRICS.

I compare it with meeting a girl. You fall for her looks, and later....the conversations. So I start always with melodies.

1) Stupid songs like LOVE IS IN THE AIR, I'M TOO SEXY FOR MY SHIRT (me too) how can these songs become big hits.
2) Lyrics: the greatest band ever = THE BEATLES, started also with silly lyrics like "She loves you yeah, yeah or Baby you can drive my car....beep, beep love". Or Manfred Mann with Do Wah Diddy..., a popular song in the US army.
This putted me thinking, if you have written over 200-500 songs, how can they in God's name remember all their songs, don't tell me THE SET LIST, but "à la carte." Try Elton John, or The Stones, Rod Stewart.
WHAT IS THEIR TRICK: practicing, and practicing? And now a dilemma, simple lyrics like lalalala, hey, hey hey and yeah, yeah I love would be simple on the other hand.

1)Finally, I succeeded to write a song, an instrumental with help (as producer) by my brother on a mac music program. It is still under construction, (1.30'), going up to 2 minutes and some stuff to remove and to add.
2)And I play again, now in open A, and with a silky glove on my left hand, because my 2 fingers still don't work, it's easy to play, I'M BACK IN BUSINESS.(slowly) After not touching 1 guitar since September 2009.

Where is the word "ROGER" used almost in every country in the world coming from, roger that.
Probably nothing to do with our friend Roger.

Alvee, he brought PUNK from the USA, just like 20 years before SAILORS brought records with blues and so the COPY-ORIGINALCAT rock started in the UK and went back by bands as Animals, Beatles, Stones (Chuck Berry songs)

FOR ME same story, but he was genial too improve punk.

- He went to the USA ===> GOO GOO DOLLS
- He went back to the UK where he had a shop in special designed clothes
- Johnny LYDON aka ROTTEN was a customer.

The Sex Pistols (under another name where busy since 1972) so WHAT WAS MALCOLM MC LAREN s REAL INFLUENCE knowing that he knew LYDON, what with Glenn MATLOCK was he replaced by SID VICIOUS?????
SO please tell me the real influence from shop owner to manager.

Yes I have a a smartphone ( I m still a lot smarter, because I can use it)but my problem has always been like that, even university, more bars and girls than study, so it is difficult to change bad habits, I didn t change since 30 years, except my disability (broken back and left leg paralysed add 30 fractures in my left foot AND I STILL TRY TO GET A LIFE even in a wheelchair or with sticks, so that is an extra factor PAIN PAIN and PAIN = REST. I don t complain I travel again around the world but it is a hell to concentrate me properly. You see.

BUT GREAT ADVISE THANKS MY FRIEND BENSOP PS I land in NY JFK on the 10th of September, going to Canada

Drinking a triple espresso in front of me a special girl oh why
She was beautiful, but too much, make-up, I do not lie
You could write your name on her face just with your finger

I should say, go make up, make over, eyebrows 40 inches long
Eyelashes ten inches long, I had no scissors and my espresso was too strong
Some pretty women and that she was, are overdone let her stay in Dubai.

GOODBYE

I ordered that SPECIAL spider capo with 6 little wheels, seems great to play open chords so maybe I can play with my bad left arm and instead of doing nothing learn a different technique to play. Before my fingers will work again ==== 300 days.

I am busy to make a song with the PC from my bro. NOT EASY at all. Don t know the program.

Strange most songs are oldies. A great artist is Bob Dylan, but not for hours.
A little bit classic like IL DIVO and some METALLICA for a change.
- THE TROGGS
- I have BILLBOARD TOP 100 from 1959 up to 2002 but a great compilation from an already great compilation means work.

DO THEY CHECK YOUR CD.s at the border? Even your own copies from different CD s?

I THINK IT'S CALLED SPIDER CAPO.
I ordered one and I am sure it will help to improve my skills because of the "nature"of the capo and a different approach of playing.

Since my left hand problem, I read good advise.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A "SPECIAL" CAPO with little wheels, on each string:
- can be used as regular capo
- the 6 little "wheels" are individually mobile, so you can use them to play in open tuning, just turn 1 or 2 wheels, and you have a chord, or open tuning..
WHO KNOWS OR HAS SUCH A CAPO, would be a great solution for me (birthday 7 December...o))
