Dear SouthPaw41L

Your theory is very interesting, and probably you have a point. The only question is: if you try this out, isn't it against nature, or are these kids really capable to play righthanded?
I know that if you drop your kid for 2 years in China from the age of 3 up to 5 years old, they will speak Chinese. It is probably a silly thing to write this, but ARE THERE CHORDIANS who learned to play "flawless" with their right hand.
To know more about left versus right, there is a very interesting article on wikipedia: google: left hand.

Bonjour Patrick, how are you, did you receive your MARTIN, and?????, it must be a great guitar.
I was in the music store last Saturday, and being a good customer, they even let me play guitars, you can only admire in a locked transparent closet.
This time it was a VERY expensive SANTA CRUZ, a brand more promoted for fingerpicking, but also for strumming.
There was, and this is almost never to admire in a guitar store (here in Belgium) a MARTIN D-35.
They had a D-45 too, 6000€ as far as I understood not brandnew, but used by somebody who bought it brandnew, and bringing it back after 1-2 weeks. ( Probably too expensive).
About playing slide? I can play some slide, using an open tuning, like open D or G, still it looks weird to me, taking one of my guitars, D tuning, and you can play using the frets, playing 2nd or 10th fret. Not having a steel guitar, and not intending to buy one, you can create BEAUTIFUL sounds with a bottleneck. I think that most of guitarists playing slide use open tunings, you are even able to play a certain song using this method

Bobby, do you really have also hundreds of funny facts? We are definitely going to work this out.
I don't know for sure, but I gave a number, like funny facts 9 or 10. It's just a question, but do you agree if we write FUNNY FACTS + number.
I am really glad and happy that you have a lot of funny facts to, it takes tile BRO, reading, hearing it, put it all together, trying to verify if it is 100% correct, and if it isn't, others will notice it.

Found it nadine, and john this is the kind of info I am looking for

If you have the Pink Floyd song ASTRONOMY DOMINE, let the song play, and about 2 minutes later there is a little solo, I couldn't believe my ears, because almost exactly the same solo is ised in a COLDPLAY song, and I think the song is called Glocks or Clocks.
SO EVERY PINK FLOYD FAN: LISTEN TO THE GUITARSOLO IN THE SONG: "Astronomy Domine"

That was what I wanted to say, by writing that I didn't know that Coldplay played already back in the sixties with Pink Floyd

Dear friends, Nadine, Roger, James, and so many more.
Isn't it strange, maybe for me, that "cyber friendship, really exists.
I am a chordian since 27/01/2007 (already THAT long!!), and for the first time in my life, I really feel that being a lot on this site, friendships are developing. Since the day I am here, I started to feel better week after week. Every single person likes to be loved. I've been on other sites, no sex or dating sitesn on other forums, and this forum is the first one that gives you a personal approach.
It 's not easy to be administrator or moderator (the word tells us enough) and you are SUPER. On other sites, they always write about violent language and worse. Never seen it here. Also, we do react very POLITE, member, moderator..., if someone starts to "play" God. Do you remember that member(well, same word but with a music note to start: RE) who wrote that this site sucked, that there were no songs with the music written just as in a school specialised in teaching music. The answers were sometimes "spicy" but never KILLING answers. I notice RESPECT for every single member, and when you are very active, you start making friends. There is even an option to send mails to another member. I thank you all for this COLLECTIVE effort, and everytime I am visiting this site, it gives me a home-coming feeling. I am pleased with all the kinds of names they give me, rockdoc, the doc.., and maybe you noticed already that I try to help others in a different, understanding approach. Sometimes (more than..) you will see a very long mail or post, but it's stronger than me. This was also the reason to become what I am now, and I hope that when a member asks something, close to my profession, accepts and understands my message.
I CAN'T TELL ENOUGH HOW I ADMIRE THE WORK YOU DO.
I hope and I am sure it will happen that this personal treatment remains, because the site is growing and growing. I am always ready to help if you want.
Love you all

This merits a topic.

Hi EDGEFAN, from New Orleans, one of my all time favourite towns, probably due to the fact that it is America's most European city. How are things in BOURBON street, still, especially on a saturday night, thousands of people shouting to every girl: "show your tits" and throwing those chains?
I was there in September 2003, as one of the highlights of my "bluestrip" who started in Chicago, over St. Louis, following route 66, along the Mississippi, crossing Missouri, and than across the bridge back east over Memphis straight to Nashville, back to Memphis and Beale street, travelling south towards New Orleans. I was there in 1992 for the first time, but I am convinced that the style of music they used to play in New Orleans has changed a lot, from 90% jazz back then, to 80% rock, blues and 20% jazz now.
Yes there are really a lot of groups, or guitarists playing instrumental: Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwee Malmsteen, to name a few.
I forgot someone very important: JIMI HENDRIX on Woodstock 1969, performing the national anthem.

I really loved that guy, even acting more aggressive or violent than most of us.
My conclusion is: you can not change another person, you can only change yourself.
Education: every single person is different, or is responding different. I come from a family having 2 brothers and 2 sisters.
THE SAME PARENTS (yes 200% for sure), 5 kids, and every single child having the same education is different. There are some similarities, but what is education? Your parents are very important, but the influences from "the outside" are getting more and more important, AND it all depends too, from your character, the way of accepting and INTERPRETING. If I say NO to 5 people, explaining why I said no, I noticed that our personalities just hear what they want to hear, everyone is interpreting stuff like this in a different way: SELECTIF MEMORY.
Influences? Starting from day 1 at Kindergarten, you make friends, 3 years later you start going to school, 6 years, 6 teachers and different friends. You continue studying, going probably to a new school, again for 6 years. You are growing, getting older (12-18 years) having again new teachers, and new friends. At that point, you can talk more about external influences. You have a fiancée, you are so focussed on her/him, loosing old friends, and creating new friends. Every single fact is important, which gives me 1 conclusion: education is not really a parent thing, the only and most important fact is : COMMUNICATION. How many times you hear, no you are not allowed to do this. Why: Because. The because answer leads us nowhere. Teach your children well (C,S & N), by trying to consider them as mini-adults, and who have the what, why period. That's your duty, to guide them through, to help them, to listen to them and to try to answer their needs and questions. I noticed that at least 50% of the children are having a bad period, mostly between 14-16 years old, and they are natural born little liars, and if you treat them well, by trying to be the "standing rock" giving or encouraging them to COMMUNICATE, not giving them all they want. You all know probably the reality soap: "the super nanny", I saw it a few times, and having 3, 4 or more kids, the "bad apple" will affect all the other kids.
28 years ago, I worked on the paediatric department, the terminal, better the children having tumours or leukaemia. Nothing really nothing in my whole life, touched me more than the 2 months I worked there: the children supporting and helping the parents. If they are younger than 5 years, they are totally not aware and interested in death, or heaven and hell. These things were and are used in class and church. My only pain relieve there was the fact that dying was 100% normal for the kids, and writing this makes me emotional again.
So what is your opinion about EDUCATING YOUR OFFSPRING??

Good afternoon almost guitarist help.
I've been to one of the biggest music store in Europe. They know me really good there, being such a good customer.
He showed me BOSS MR MICRO, with 4 tracks and 32 virtual tracks, having 300 rhythm patterns, price around €250 (I know if I buy it in the USA, it will cost me 40% cheaper, but he showed me the at this moment "flagship" BOSS BR 600.
What is the difference: 8 tracks, same extras like rhythm patterns, COSM effects, and!! having a quit sensitive STEREO mic, (not on the BOSS MICRO). €399. I am not a super guitar player, but I am absolutely not bad, and this one uses a Compact Flash card, you get only 128 MB, but here I have 3 CF cards, because of my digital camera, 1 GB memory.
The way of using it is not a problem I hope, but anyway, I go for the 600. I know myself quit good, I used to be a real "greedy" person, being able to pay what I liked.
If I buy the BOSS MICRO, I think that I will return immediately to the store 14 days later and change. I am happy as a child, because I can play acoustic and sing because of the stereo microphone.
The only other solution was buying in combination the ZOOM H4, but they told me what I thought, this ZOOM H4, is in fact a super sensitive "dictaphone". I will keep you informed about the experience I will have, and I am convinced that what I will post, can be helpful for other chordians.
Now: just a very good software program, to cut bad notes, and (I know it exists, because my friend in Mississauga, Ontario, had already such a program in !! 1991!!.
Maybe he can copy a program and send it, but I really want to know if other chordians do the same as I do, having a special software to correct everything, without recording the same song 100 times.Thanks for your advises, it's thanks to those advises that I started to have more and more an idea about these products.
