A Zebra hoved into view

Hi TazFromOz
You don’t say if the Fender is electric or acoustic but the principles apply really to both.
First strings. Tightness of the strings isn’t the issue the gauge or thickness is. Having a lighter gauge can help but a medium (high e 0.13 acoustic) gauge is good starting point for the beginner.
Make of strings well that’s a real arguable point I use Martins on my acoustics it’s a good all-rounder but that’s just me.
Action can again have a bearing on play ability and getting it checked out is not a bad thing.
Also some guitars by there very nature are harder to play than others not ever owning a Fender I can’t say.
Barre chords.
Just go back over the past acoustic posts and see how many there has been about the dreaded barre chords. All have a wealth of tips and such some you might find useful.
And pain in fingers well  I’m afraid that comes with territory.

Good luck
Ark

Buffalo's were hunted to near extinction. They may have been running at 100mph but the bullets were travelling alot faster.
What this means to brain cells not sure. Have to drink a bit more to speed up the thinking process.

I still think phil collins has got just that little something extra in the drumming department and I think this video proves it.

No official should take offence to this thread it would smack of censorship. smile
Swearing, Lena.
Why when one does something detrimental to their person a simple “Oh Dear"  or  something similar never seemed enough.
A good old F….ing off use to make one feel so much better.
But as you say the use of the F..word or such is so common place today that use and feel good factor value of such expletives in the extenuating circumstances has lost most of it’s magic.
Swear words are just not the same as they use to be.

James. What can I say but a lame "I take my hat off to you sir" ( If I wore one that is) that song has just about covered all millenary angles that I can think of and a few besides.
Well done

25Frankster I believe it was damaging public propriety. Namely cutting the tops of parking meters. Great film one Paul Newmans best ( I must agree with Jerome there smile ). The Book by  Donn Pearce is great to.

jaynie click on the "Resources" tab at the top of the page then click on the link "large chord chart" and look for the C chord shapes and  click on the C9 variant. This show all the C9's yours should be there all have a diamond shape "0" to denote an open note.
hope this helps
Ark

I think UYK is right about it being an open string as the 0 looks to be shaped like a diamond on my laptop.
Looked at the C9 and seems that whats it showing.

Surely wars are fought for 3 main reasons
1 Politics
2 Religion
3 Territorial gain linked to the control of resources and expansion.
Of course all three can be interlinked and used to control the populace who have to fight and die for the so called cause.
