Tired wheels roll smoother that non-tired wheels

James,

We might to arm wrestle or something for Uma. I had a crush on her first! But you beat me to punch in writing a song for her, and an awesome song at that! Nice job....

Good drinkin' tune!

It was working yesterday when I posted originally, tried it last night, still worked. Today it won't open. I'll repost again at a later date. It's a really good read. The guy builds guitars from various cigar boxes and plays them with a ton of other instruments, simaltaneously.

Guitar tab
Guitar tab consists of a series of horizontal lines forming a staff (or stave) similar to standard notation. Each line represents one of the instrument's strings therefore standard guitar tab has a six-line staff and bass guitar tab has four lines. The top line of the tablature represents the highest pitched string of the guitar. By writing tablature with the lowest pitched notes on the bottom line and the highest pitched notes on the top line of the tablature follows the same basic structure and layout of Western Standard Notation.

The following examples are labelled with letters on the left denoting the string names, with a lower-case "e" for the high E string. Tab lines may be numbered 1-6 instead, representing standard string numbering, where "1" is the high E string, "2" is the B string etc.

The numbers that are written on the lines represent the fret used to obtain the desired pitch. For example, the number 3 written on the top line of the staff indicates that the player should press down at the third fret on the high E (first string). Number 0 denotes the nut - that is, an open string.

For chords, a letter above or below the tab staff denotes the root note of the chord.

Examples of guitar tab notation:

The chords E, F, and G:

e|---0---1---3---
B|---0---1---0---
G|---1---2---0---
D|---2---3---0---
A|---2---3---2---
E|---0---1---3---
     E   F   G
Various lines, arrows and other symbols are used to denote bends, hammer-ons, trills, Pull-offs, slides, and so on.

Guitar tab is not standardised and different sheet music publishers adopt different conventions. Songbooks and guitar magazines usually include a legend setting out the convention in use.

Hope this information was helpful.

Keep On Rockin' In The Free World by Neil Young.......

You'll have to get lucky and find one, and bargain with the owner at a pawn shop or a yard sale. Tuning pegs, are almost always, sold as a group, not individually. Usually if one goes bad it means the rest will soon follow so it's a good idea to replace them all.
