when does it cramp up with the electric or the acoustic, you didn't make it clear. I started on acoustic also, then I got an electric. Right away the electric was way easier to play wich was great cause once my fingers and arm got tired or hurt from playing acoustic I could play a couple more hours switching to electric. Anyway to my point, before I start playing I always do a couple of excercises nothing fancy just stretch my fingers and play some simple single note excercises then some light chord strums. Well I did that for a while till I heard on ultimate guitar forum about this little blue hand/finger excerciser. Let me tell you I bought one online through ebay for $7 bucks let me tell you my forearm is much stronger and my fingers can hold down some of those tougher bar chords that get us all and I'm swithching from normal chords to bar chords with ease. At first your arm and wrist and those fingers that aren't that strong (pinky and ring), are going to hurt but after you build a little muscle you'll notice a change, you won't be jimmy hendrix but you'll be on your way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Topic: Growing Fret hand/Fingers? (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I heard someone say that your fretting hand actually grows longer than your strumming hand due to the stretching of your fingers, So I put my hands together and what do you know my fretting hand fingers were noticibly longer. Is this true or had I just never noticed my freaky fingers. I did notice some ease in reaching for further frets though.

Re: I-Pod or Zune? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I've had my ipod for about 7 months a 4 gig. At first It's a little bit frustrating because you have to learn how to use it and learn to use the itunes store. But if you keep at it you'll get it it becomes pretty easy(I've only owned a computer for about 7 months also so I'm no computer geek) so you should learn pretty quick I personally love my ipod I know how to put movies on it tv show music videos and lots of music.I also bought the shrink my tunes software and It use to hold about only 800 songs now I have almost 1500 so look into that too. also I like that I can put my chordie songbook in my ipod. The letters are a bit small but if your sitting outside in the breeze enjoying a tune or two(giving your ears a break from the ipod) you can use it as a reference instead of running in the house to use the computer to get the chord you need from chordie. I love my ipod but if you have the dough to spend for an 8 or 16 gig go for it. Also a new ipod nano just came out look it up I paid $200 for my 4 gig now they are selling a 16 gig for $200 I've never owned a zune so this is from an ipod point of view!!!! Good Luck
