Hello,

I found the chords for St.Ignatius by the Old 97's.

G             C      G           C
Outside
G              C         G                 C
G               C                 Em       C

G                 C               Em            C

D               C           Em         C
I could save the water just by drinking it tonight.
D              C

(same for rest of song)

Recently I saw a video with the frontman for the band playing the song.

I notice he is using different chords. I think this might be because the band tunes down their instruments one whole step. Can anyone figure out what chords he is using? What chord is he moving higher on the guitar neck? Also, what other little tricks and "spice ups" is he doing? Thanks!

I have a double request. Can anyone figure out the chords for these two songs? Also, what type of strum pattern is he using on Holy Cross?

Thanks!!

Hello,

Wondering how to play these chords:

G/F#

G/E

A/G

A/F#

A/E

The progression is:

G   G/F#  G/E

A   A/G   A/F#   A/E

The song is BIG BROWN EYES by (you guessed it) Old 97's

Thank you

I was playing a used Alvarez RD8 this weekend and the strings had an elasticy or rubbery feel as I coming down hard on the strings with my .60mm pick. This feel is in contrast to my own guitar strings that give off a more metallicy sound and feel. I have Martin Lifespan SPs on mine and I am not sure what was on the Alvarez. I liked the feel of the Alvarez and I was wondering, could it simply be the strings that make that difference? Or am I just insane?

Hi,

I am kicking around thoughts of getting a new guitar. Right now I have a Johnson JG-100 student guitar. I am starting at about $300 in price range. I know I can find a regular acoustic in that price range (even lower). But what about acoustic electric? What are the benefits of going acoustic electric? Thanks!

Hello,

A professional guitar player posted this about bluegrass rhythm/picking on another message board and I found it to be confusing (big suprise!). Does anyone here understand what he is talking about?

"It’s also much tricker to play with electric guitars than accoustic due to the sustain. If you just slam through it, you get mud. I usually try to lock into the rhythm and then control the sustain with the heel of my right hand and then usually playing the bottom four string versions of the chords. In particular, the “D" formation up and down the neck and the “A"  formation but make it with your pinkie 3 frets higher than your index finger. In other words, Mash down the bottom four strings with your index finger on the 2nd fret and then fret the bottom 2 strings on the 5th fret to make “A" . Make sense? That’s also very useful for playing country licks out of."
