NICE!

check out The Log Driver's Waltz -- too much fun to roll with http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct= … Sa_3rQ4ujA
a little lyric edit and you'll be all smiles.

BTW my links seem to get deleted so hop on this fast...

Thanks Roger -- is there a convenient place one can upload/store jpegs to link to?

Sorry I had to bail so early too.  I'm glad I got on for a bit though; its was great to meet a couple more chordians and hear some fine music. 
Good idea Astro (sorry, 2 second retention on names - and everything else too) I'd love to see what Ken's doing and get familiar with some fills and riffs -- any bit of technique will help.

Thanks again!
Jim

Spytunes (another great web site BTW) has some strum exercises. 
Check out the Practice Guitar section for strumming patterns and more...

Good luck!

Hi Spamhead,

I also found that selecting the alternate chord didn't save but if you get comfortable with editing, you can make it work there - and save it.

The "Show Help" dropdown has a bit of info...
Example: C# to be played like an A on 4th fret:
{define: C# 4 1 3 3 3 1 1}

It's not too complicated just be sure you type it right...  those spaces are essential too.
Good luck!

Hey KP, 

I too am stepping into the 12 string world and there is some debate as to whether detuning (down a half step or two - probably have the terminology wrong...) is necessary with new builds.  Mine is from the late 70's and hasn't had a great life, so  I plan to reduce the stress as much as possible - light strings; detune, I'm thinking a full step and capo to standard tuning.

A couple pages down is the 12 string info.

Good luck,
Jim

Just back ... the weekend was a bust -- just getting ready to go but when the riff raff got back for school we hit the road for Francois Lake, on the longest sockeye salmon run in the world.  Yeah,... no salmon but  as night took over I was sitting back by the fire, noodling along as the northern lights rolled across the sky.  Wow....  I love this place.

Thanks, Bluejeep,
I am just looking into strings and tunings for the 12er.  Mine has kind of been through the wars so I'm thinking a lighter load might be the way to go.  My Luthier friend says it will be good and as stable as new.

Computer left on --> perpetual online status??

dino,  the place is infested with ex-pat Brits
We spent a week there a couple years ago - wasn't half long enough.
I keep agitating for a return tour.... one day.

Great choir Roger!
