I'm with Russell.  Golf is an abnormal action.   Grooving a swing is hard and frustrating.  You have to be comfortable with failure, because golf, as we all know, is just "flog" spelled backwards.   I went with the cheap ($99) route, and I still use those clubs.   Someday I hope to play at a level where equipment will matter.

You'll know if you have the bug.  The first time you really lay into a ball, you'll either go "Oh wow.  Must hit another..." or you won't. 

Tiger's back 9 on Friday was phenomenal, but he couldn't get anything going on Saturday to follow it up.   I never count him out, but he's going to need some help today if he's going to win.  Jason Day shot the round of a lifetime.

I like this Mciroy kid the more I watch him.

I love the Masters.   I love Major championship golf.   Right now, I'm hoping to see Tiger Woods break Nicklaus's major record.  If he's not winning, then I always like to see a 1st time winner.   And I always pull for the amateurs in the field.

Lawlz!  And it's only funny because it's true. 

Playing with a metronome or click track is hard.  Regardless of how good you think your rhythm is, that little $!#*ing box is going to expose just exactly how good it ain't.

Well, I'm going to go with Occam's razor on this one, and go with the simplest answer. 

Omitting the root will destroy the chord as a chords tonality is based on the interval between the root and the third.  No root, no third interval.   You can not have an Am chord without an A in it.  If you were to strike that chord and not play the A, what you've done is played some inversion of C major.

CEG as an inversion of  Em still lacks the V.

There is nothing magical about a lydian chord. It's just another flavor of a major 7.  If you omit the major 7 as you suggest, what you end up with is a plain old major triad.  Haywood suggested this in his original post.

The simplest solution is that CEG is exactly what it appears;  C major.

Them jazz dudes is weird. 

Yeah, that's true.   Suspended chords suspend the III, though.  That is, it isn't played.  The A is right in there, so whatever it is, it isn't a sus chord.

Lets try it from a different angle.  Perhaps its not even an F chord.  All of those notes are common to C and A minor, too.

If it were C it would be

C F  A  B
I IV VI VII.  That's bizarreness and I don't know what to call it.

If it's A minor

I  II III  VI
A B  C   F

The half step between the regular E (the V) and the F (the VI would make this an augmented chord with a II added to it.

Augmented Amin add2?

How would you write that? 

Galway Girl is a Steve Earle song.   A good one, but it's American.

Sweet!  Now you get to spend half your time tuning the 12 string, and the other half playing out of tune! 

Exactly.  And more to the point, you can always get another old lady.

Some of the best advice I ever got was... "You may not ever find another guitar like that again, but you can always get a new old lady."
