Why would you sell a product when it isn't finished yet? He was selling the thing before the tabs were done?

I love this song.

They're probably taking it to satisfy an elective class. should be diatonic and pretty simple to follow. smile

Edit:

I took AP theory in high school. The text book we used was the same book I used for the first two years of theory in college. AP courses should have you really well equipped.

Thanks y'all. Figured chords were more important than my ugly mug on the camera angle. smile

Just posted my resolutions on my blog. Resolution #1 is to write at least 2 songs a month and make at least one of those songs known to the public. Chordie is the only peer group I have on the interwebz, so you guys and gals are going to be lucky or unfortunate enough to hear original music from me 12 times this year.

Be honest but nice and wish me luck. smile

Oh oh I love blues...can anyone play this game? Most of you probably aren't familiar with Ronnie - he's the youngest son of Lonnie Brooks and is a guitar MONSTER.

There's nothing at all wrong with wrapping your thumb. I use my thumb to fret the low e string and also to help crank on the vibrato during string bends. Just don't do it all the time. smile

From the looks of it most of Chordie's ad revenue comes from Google. I don't think the mods have much control over ad displays.

Always, always always use credit cards when buying online for this very reason. (I find that Amex is best when disputing unauthorized or otherwise bogus charges).

Barre a G chord and then use your pinky to fret the 5th fret G string (that's the sus4)

Option 2:

This looks like an open G chord but you'll be playing the suspended 4th on the b string.

Good luck.

Hey everyone. Happy New Year!

The wife is taking up violin this year - she's wanted to do it since she was a kid. Anyway, she was asking me how to read music and I started confusing the crap out of her. Does anyone know of a good online resource (either paid or free) that is not geared specifically to guitar players that will help her learn to read music? Thanks in advance.

Did you use a credit card? If so, just call your bank and charge it back.

I find that some of my biggest improvements in playing have come after putting he guitar down for a while. I've played at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week for the last 25 years except for a few times when I've taken a week or two off. I find that rather than trying to play through plateaus it helps to just take a little break and re-approach the instrument with a fresh head.

I believe this is effective because the process of playing guitar and thinking about music are two totally different things (at least for me). Back when I was learning modes and improvisation, I got caught up too much in the mechanics (learning finger patterns, root notes, arpeggios, scale drills, etc), and didn't learn about/think about musicality nearly enough.

Today I find that I use fewer notes and scales than ever before but my playing sounds a hell of a lot better than it used to 'cuz I'm not just running scale patterns when I solo...and it's largely due to the little breaks I take every few years or so.
