I tihnk you should get yourself down to a guitar shop and play a few guitars with these chords and see what sound you get. Pick out a few really really expensive ones to try, see what they sound like.
If it has the same sound then probably the way you are playing. If it sounds clearer and different then I would be edging on blaming the guitar.

I have met a few famous people.

Lemmy from motorhead.
Nigel from ...from ,,lol, oh yeah the choir boys
All of love/hate
Tyla from dogs d'amour,
billy connolly a few times when i was under 10 ears old, he was friendly wit hone of my neighbours at the time " Jimmy reid" the famous scottish guy that stood up for the workers rights in the shipyards.
Justin curry from del amitri, he was seeing my wifes friend.

Jake burns from stiff little fingers, bruce foxton from the jam and slf,
Mike Peters from the alarm
Tom Weir ( not a singer but a great wee guy tat has walked over al the hills in scotland and had his own tv program in scotland " weir's way"

Ken

lol,
ok Toney, will do.

I was planning a trip over there in te next few years but  iwill have to wait and see. Would be going to Georgia and Alabama if I get over.

Ken

Yep helen,yer right.

I thought maybe it might have worked in Firefox as it did not work in my Explorer but it doesnt work in either.

I would and ill continue to avoid "christian music".
I see it as a form of preaching, ramming it down yer throat etc. I dont have objections to thi music, but like bobby says, if you like the music then it is good. I just dont thin kI would enjoy the lyrics if it is about heaven and god etc,.
Maybe I am being naive and ignorant to chrstian music? maybe there is a lot more to it? I dont know and nor will I go out my way to find out.

Spirit in the sky song I think is very good though. I loved that when Dr and the Medics coverd that in 86? 87?

And although I think everyone that coms here or most will probably no doubt know my views on religion and that I am an athesit, but  ido love songs like Sam stone ( mentions jesus) Post war dream ( mentions jesus) and there are several other songs that mention god or heaven or jesus in one way or another that I love and love to sing.
I sometimes think to myself " am I being a hypocrite for singing about god etc when I am a loud mouthed atheist"? then I thnk Na, I am not!!. I like the song, I sing it for the tune and the rest of the lyrics and try not to cringe too much when having to sing "with God on our side" by manfred mann, which would be  seen as a very christian song, but it has a good tune, good lyrics and I like it.
So thats all that matters really.
If I heard a muslim song I liked and sang about allah I might even sing that too. I see being an athesit as youcan sing whatever ye want from any religion ( I am just making all this up as I go along, not really thought of an answer first before replying, but I do that a lot,lol)

aye so, styles of music?
I think it is certain groupls of people that determine the Genre that the music goes in unless it is very obvious.

Ken

guarantee a soldier's life while serving in Iraq!

yep Al, I got quite a bit.

I went to a site and worked ot chords myself, normally all folk stuff is really eas, in the key of G or C or D with very basic chords A,C,G,D, Em F

I will e mail you what i have if you like. Mostly Corries and and quite a few irish songs.

Ken

Very good topic.
One I think could be answered properly with research ( maybe more than internet research)
But I would have thought it would originate from india from a form of the seetar.
Or from the greeks or romans since they seemed to invent so much hundreds of yearsa go  or even thousands)

but I have to mention this ,lol. ( since the englis beat the scots at nearly everything apart from curling) it was the scots that played it first on the british isles, ( or could have been ireland)

but she is not my queen even though she is the queen of Great Britain. I swore no allegience to her or the royal family and never will!!! I even hate all politicians,lol.

Land was here before humans and will be here when we have destroyed the planet so much we cannot live on it, land is no mans ( or womens fo the female extremists,lol)
