ok, i've gone back and reread the song..   It goes like this...
g           
A picture of beauty, with some much grace

c
you can see her life by the lines on her face

g                        d             c
so much wisdom, so much grace

          g            d                      c
and i love  her...  i've always loved her

g               
Mother of my children, but so much more

          c
she gives me hope like i've never had before

     g                  d                            c 
she's my best friend, she my best friend.

          g          d                          c
and i love her.,     and i'll always love her

g
We've been together through thick and thin

c                     
through life and love  the death of too many friends

g                    d                   c                          g              d
side by side, she's my best friend,,   ,my best friend

                          c                           g                        d
And i've always loved her ,   i've always loved her,

                           c                                        g
and i will always love her....     I'll always love her...

I like this song.. I'm not sure of the timing, but i was able  to play it in my own way and realy felt it..  Good job..

Thanks so much OLD DOLL,  with the formal greetings over, i will post my first song..  I will explain it on the songwriting forum..   Peace..

Guitarpix. you didn't state what kind of guitar you are playing ?  Acoustic or electric?  Are you a singer ?  I have found through all of the years that once you have reached your full ability, find someone that is better than you to play with..  If you are a singer, then you don't need to master the guitar, you just have to play it to your vocals.  Having a partner with lead guitar abilities is all you need. If you are not a singer, the trust me, take lessons from a pro..  Teaching yourself guitar theory and scales at your age is fruitless.  Its not too late..    I mean no disrespect by this post, just the same thing i told my son..  He has now produced his first CD, with only 2 years of guitar with me teaching him.. He is a singer/songwriter just like his dad. I don't comprehend most of what he writes, but thats not the point..  Its his music..    Peace..

Great Question !!. I personally owned a Sigma 12 string as my second guitar.  I played it professionally for 6 months until i bought my Ovation.  I was proud to own the Sigma.. To me, it was a Martin gutiar.  Now, to answer your question, there no comparison to the Sigma and the true Martin as far as 12 strings go.. Thats all i can talk about because its all i know.. The sound, the feel, the neck of the guitar is so vasty different, you can't even compare them. I loved my Sigma, but when i bought my Ovation 12 string, it didn't compare.  Not even a little. the neck action was so much greater.  The sound was so much better..  Don't get me wrong, the Sigma is great for sitting around the house and playing for your friends, or around a campfire at the lakehouse, but on stage, there is no comparison.  Now, having owned an Ovation 12 string and comparing it with the Applause, My opinion is that there is no comparison.  Period. I don't know why, but i have experience.. I have tested them both..  Now, the funny thing, is that after one of my children fell (jumped) onto my Ovation and broke the neck just 2 hours before a show, i called a friend who loaned me his Yamaha 12 string. I thought i would hate it..  But, the sound and quality and feel all along the neck was amazing..  I went out the very next day to Rockin Robins in Houston and bought the exact guitar and i still play it to this day..   Long story short, its what you feel.. Not the name brand, not the cost, not the look..   How does it feel/sound, to you..    Peace..

??? I am new to the board and i am confused..  Did i break some kind of protocol ??   I wouldn't want to offend the unofficial King of Scontland LOL..???       Peace..

I must agree with gitaardocphil. If you are a singer, then your voice is in command.. Difficult chords can be skipped, changed, augmented or simplified. Nobody in the audience will know the difference.  I have trouble with a BM7 on my 12 string..   I have several songs i do that use that chord.. I either skip it and cover vocally or play a D instead..  It works..   Peace..
