Barre 2nd fret,GB&E strings with pointer finger, middle finger on 3rd fret of the B string, then ring finger on 3rd fret of the A string. The C replaces the D as the  main root bass note so therefore it's OK to mute the D string. This will happen naturally with your ring finger as you're playing the 3rd fret of the A string.

"If You're Gonna Be Dumb Then You Gotta Be Tough" by Roger Allan Wade

I got a good one for you.

"Mangofood"

Say it aloud a few times, it's got a real pretty ring to it...........

Another fun word combo to say real fast, repetitvely, is "Toy Boat". Go on and give it a try, you know you want to..........  My late Grandfather had some fabulous takes on life. One I distinctly recall is this; "Son, if you wanna have a good, friendly, peaceful, visitin' spell with family or friends there's two things that don't get talked about. One is government and the the other is religion. I've tried to live by these words around people whom I am fond of and it seems to be, for me at least, a sensible life philosophy. No hidden message or meaning in this comment, just sharing some past experiences that improved my life.

A priest who was actually in touch, for a long time with an admitted SATANIST? Hmmm, sounds kinda fishy to me. I don't mean to sound like I'm callin' you out. Nah!!!,
forget all that, I'm callin' you out. BS.

Hey Mangofood,
Please don't be offended by the comedic nature of the posts you've encountered. We're mostly musicians here seeking tools of improvement for our guitar playing. You have every right to say or post pretty much whatever you want(within reason) but if you take this religion thing too seriously here, you're gonna get pummelled.

Hello Old Doll,
Your festival last week sounded like a big hit. Way to go and congratulations. I was raised in Southwestern Virginia where traditional string music is widely popular. I now live and perform( live music) on the west coast of Florida. I refuse to use pre-recorded music in my act and that offers a counter-balance from what most of the performers do, thus I stay very busy. One of my Friend-fans brought a Bowed Psalter to one of my gigs. She's loaned it to me for a spell and I'm really diggin' this thing. Are you familiar with this beautiful instrument and if so do you have any advice/tips to improve my understanding of the "Bowed Psalter"?

Thanks in Advance,
