Re: My latest purchase... (3 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Jammin for me is sort of like bodysurfing at the beach. Sometimes you just cant catch that wave, but then sometimes you catch that wave and you ride it all the way to the shore. When you catch the wave, when it clicks, what a feelin. Sounds to me like you caught the wave. Oh yea a good strap makes a big difference as far as comfort goes

Wow does that bring back some memories. I was about 20 years old I remember smoking about 2 paks of ciggerettes before the show. I was a nervious wreck. It ended up turning out well.

Re: GUITAR: Changing your style (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hey There Michel, I was very impressed with that version of Classical Gas. WOW. My question is can someting like that be preformed (fingerpicked) without amplification. My expierience with my attemps at fingerpcking is that it does not come out that loud. Also Claude DeBussy has music lessons. Have you any knowledge if they are any good for more advanced lessons

Re: Wrong Chords (10 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Looking up songs on the internet is relitivly new for me. I used to have to sit down with a recording of the song and figure it out on my own. (unless I went out and bought the music book). So if the song tabs or chords are not correct or partly wrong at least I have the words or some of the basics of the song. This at least makes it easier to figure out the song. Hey its free information. I am grateful for all this free service. I dont understand how some people can complain about omething like this. What do you expect for nothing

Re: NEIL YOUNG (5 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
I always thought it was because of the way he dresses. old beat up jeans, the flannel shirt, the constuction boots and of course the long stringy hair. And as far as his talent goes the guy can just write exellent music whenever he wants.He has certainly passed the test of time. Just imagine any time you want being able to wip out an alblum, just like that. Thats Niel Young

Re: COLLECTING GUITARS (8 replies, posted in Electric)
Hi Phil, This is something that never interested me before. as long as I had an acoustic and an electric guitar I was fine, but lately I have been having the desire to buy more guitars. I have recently ordered a new martin D-42 and I should be getting it sometime next week. Now I want to get a resonator and develop my slide playing. I have also been thinkinking about a 12 string. I have a Gibon Lucille but I sometimes miss having Fender (Strat & Tele ) I believe I am suffering from the bug. Does it ever end ?

I had never heard of Heritage before so I went to their web page and read their history. They are definitly a repupital company all being former Gibson guitar makers. If the guitar feels good and plays well and you like it. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Re: What made Jimi Hendrix so great (15 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
I believe what made Jimi Hendrix such a great guitar player was that he had a gift. This gift of talent is what seperates the stars from the rest of us. No matter how much a regular person practices they will never reach the hieghts that a person with the gift of true talent reaches. Hendrix, Clapton and Stevie Ray are all among the gifted

Re: Songs not to play in a guitar shop (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Why shouldnt you play stairway to heaven? I think its great...one u missed is the practice excercise E5, G5, A5 Etc.
the reason is that for a long time stairway to heven was the song that every guitar player had to learn so it ended up getting so overplayed that it became like play something different
