Hey my Friend S.B.Bill big smile here 'cause we always share the music that we love.
Yea, you do see just fine what the symbols represent in the exercises.
With the key... string, Fret, Finger
0 will be played open with x because no finger.
I wonder if you're really enjoying your music time as much as you really can?
Sounds like you might be doing lots of work and it's robbing you of simple joy.
With rhythm, it's very easy to play and sing any of your favorite songs by strumming chords.
Our fingering exercises will teach individual note progressions to accompany a fill-in for each chord.
May I ask how accomplished you are at playing rhythm and do you know the chords?
One little trick for helping callouses.
Put a small drop of crazy-glue on your finger tips, right where you push the strings at.
This will make a larger pad to push against the bone.
It will reduce pain and cutting, allowing you to play for much longer sessions.
Of course it will seem odd to begin with but the results pay-off really fast.
I should be working on my newest song. The words and music are still on paper.
I'm practicing up really good with acoustic and will get instruments layed-out on each track.
Then insert vocals and mix and master everything, burn a CD and up-load a sound file.
This strange old movie called Forrest Gump is distracting me though.
"Me and Jenny was like peas and carrots again!"
