Try singing Amazing Grace to the tune and chord progressions of house of the rising son. Supossedly it's closer to the original shape-note melody. Blind boys of Alabama do it and it is amazing.

Re: What do you use? (24 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I've had a few electrics most recently an 006 vampire. Great guitar, but doesn't work for playing with most of the groups I play with. Accoustic just works better.
Martin DM-12
Martin D-1 with Fishamn electronic (saddle and condenser)
Martin DX1 home and camping etc
Sigma DM 1st with Shadow megasonic pick-up (bought it as a back-up, but it is hands down the best value in my stable)
Applause ae128 (fits my wifes hands well but sounds like caca)
Ovation folklore 12-fret because it was different
always looking for the next addition. It's an illness.

Re: need help tuning (18 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Personally I prefer a high quality analog tuner if you're only playing by yourself. They're easier to read imo and a tad more accurate. either way, practice is the best way to train the ear
