How Great Thou Art the way Vince Gill played it with Amy Grant (I think it's her), which I think is the same way he played for Carrie Underwood. Having fun with it smile.

Re: What song are you working on

My daughter has asked me to learn some Taylor Swift for her.  Any suggestions?

Re: What song are you working on

Try "love story", or "Teardrops on my guitar". I'm not that into Taylor Swift though.

Yeah, when you master barre chords, they can be quite fun.

Agreed Steelstrings, I took Zurf's advice [do it a thousand times] and it works. Barre's open up so many more songs, I'll never get bored.


my friend jon is a great help also, he made me learn barre chords, tanks jj.
