Hi toobusi,
I took up guitar just after Christmas.  It was one of those things on my learn to play list. Call me a sucker for punishment,  but I started playing the organ when I was 5.  So i had to read music( that was 30ish years ago).  I got away from it for quite a while, but when I had kids got back to it and learnt them too.  Sorry, I'm babbling.
Anyway, i would chose either way, read music or read tab.  The reading tab was really easy for me.  But I think being able to read music definitely has it's advantages.  It can lead you down other paths and your not stuck with just reading tab.
I also can play by ear and it drives my daughter crazy how I can play a song (note wise) after just hearing it.
But please, please don't ask me to sing for anyone except my daughter ( Long story)  Something I'm working on.
I think being able to read music will pay off in the future.

Hello,
Does anyone know this song.  It's about an organ grinder and his little monkey with a cup of tin.  Anyone know where I can get the chords for this song?  Or even just post the chords and I'll go from there.
It was origionally sung by Frank Mills
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanxs

A friend of mine picked up a classical guitar at a yard sale.  This thing is pretty small and light. Right now it has nylon strings.  Can I put steel strings on it for a different sound or would  the bridge snap on it.
Any Input would be appreciated.

thanxs for the info.
I looked it up.  I don't think for me the size would be a problem, I'm a pretty small person ( 5 feet on a good day in Heels) and my hands are pretty small too.  On my full size Washburn, I've adjusted with many aches and pains at first, but all is good now.  It's  out of my price range though.
thanxs for the help.

Hello,
I recently went on a camping trip and of course brought along my guitar.  Well, I found it a bit too big to be lugging everywhere. (Full size Washburn) It's great for at home, but I am now looking into something smaller for Hiking/camping/canoe trips.  Something small and portable. 
I would like to know if anyone has a travel guitar, more specifically a Johnson JG TR1 Trailblazer.   
I have looked at a few on the internet but would like to know if someone has one and how they like it.
Or any other models that  would be appropriate.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanxs

Hello everyone,
Well some surprising things have happened over the last couple of days.  I went to my guitar lesson, and my teacher has switched me to a different teacher.  I'm not sure if he got fed up with me and my songbook or me not wanting to sing.  But anyway, my new teacher and I sat down and had a chat first.  I explained the situation to him ( about the songbook and the singing)  and I got a complete different reaction then the first teacher.  He told me not to worry about the singing, as long as I can do it for now in front of someone, it will eventually come.  As for the songbook,  he told me use it.  He uses one too.  My stess level just went down quite a few notches and I am comfortable with him too.  The other teacher just made me nervous. 
  So off I go to practice my guitar, happy and a little less stressed over the situation.
I want to send a HUGE, HUGE  THANKYOU to everyone at Chordie for their support.  This is a great site!!!!!!!!
My sincere thanxs

MAY ALL YOUR WISHES BE RAINBOWS!!!!!!!!!!

I started playing the organ when I was 5, when I was about 10, added the violin and a bit of piano.  I always used sheet music.  It's nice to know other people use sheet music too. 
This sure helps me a lot.  I will just keep on using my little guitar song book. 
As for voice, my daughter says I'm not that bad.  Actually she says my music teachers voice is worse, so this should make me feel better.
Thanxs for all the advice.

Wow
thankyou to everyone for your suggestions.  You all just boosted my confidence level up a notch.  I kinda thought I was the only one that didn't like their own voice. 
With the playing and singing, I'm just gonna keep trying.
I'm glad about the song book though.  I'm sure I could memorize a few songs, but certainly not all of them.
Thankyou for all the great advice.
I realize what a great site this is and all the friendly people, but know i think this site is the best.
thankyou again and keep on playing, I know I will
Thanxs

Hello,
I'm kinda new to this.  I can play in front of my daughter but when it comes to playing and singing in front of other people i just can't do it.  Reason - I don't like the sound of my voice when I am singing.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Also, is it absolutely necessary for guitar players to memorize all the songs they play.  I have a song book with all the songs I can play but my teacher thinks i should memorize them all.  I don't see the big deal.  I'm just no great on memorizing stuff.
Any help would be appreciated.
