I have a copy of the book I'll send with the pickguard I emailed you about. You can give it to her.
There are also 2 copies of the "Book" out there in circulation amongst the OFC. |

Yeah, but FOUR chords and a good line of bullshit can get you the redhead at the bar . . . |

Location: ranson,wva | thanks mike(checks in the mail today). i get over to wva from time to time to see my folks and go to the track. ive had the flu so the tele bastard project has been on the back burner.
rick,ive found in my own relationships that sharing a common ground can help alot when things get rocky.
ovation, i gotta come over that way this weekend. maybe ill drop the country artist off at dads and you can pick it up. nylon srtings would be easier on you fingers and the wider fretboard will fit your hand pretty well.

Location: Upper Left USA | Ah, the best tip for a new or seasoned guitar player:
Hang around other guitar players, learn techniques, borrow their guitars!!! |

Location: Omaha, NE | I'll just echo some of the stuff that's been said already: Learn the E, A, C, D and G chords. Then learn the Em, Am, and Dm chords. With those eight chords, you'll be able to fake your way through about 95% of the songs out there.
Find an opportunity to play with other people. Nothing improves your skill faster than playing in a group.
Personally, I think its cool that you are taking an interest in this. |

Wanna support your spouse and grow closer?
Learn bass (or drums as the situation requires)
and sing harmony! Then he won't be able to sound good without you....!

Location: Cicero, NY | Don't give up, O?. Some of us have been playing for years and the lack of talent has never stopped us. It all comes down to what you want out of it. There are no predetermined levels to reach. Some want to play out and make money with their talents, others record and others are content to play on their back porch for the family dog. Bottom line is it's all good. If it puts a smile on your face, just do it. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | O?--
I began to learn to play bluegrass mandolin when our kids were older so that there was something my husband and I had in common musically. About three years into my attempts at it, he was diagnoised with lung cancer and gone 9 months later. I have never regretted the time I spent "plinking;" even though I wasn't very good at it, he really appreciated that I would even try it, let alone hang in there. (I got to the point where I could play some lead riffs.) Five years after his death, I am finally ready to play bluegrass again. So, you go, girl-- and we'll all be cheering for you!
