    I would love to learn how to play any songs written by John Denver or Elton John but i cant find a way to get the music and notes for it in a way i can understand them. If possible i would love to have a couple songs by these artists so that it shows what cords or notes to play with what words. Thanks ~Ashley~

      I recently picked up my husband’s D’Agostino acoustic guitar and am considering fixing it or just starting from scratch and buying a new acoustic guitar. It’s a PMS New York model : D-45. Does anyone know anything about this guitar? Is it made from laminated board or a single wood piece (top)…is it any good? I have had a hard time playing chords that I usually play alright on an electric or on a classical guitar. The strings are really old so I attribute some of the loss of sound to this. Any thoughts about this guitar will be greatly appreciated.

  5. could someone tell me where i can find chilli peppers "road trippin" chords not tabs?

            baurjan

            first Gm, then play the Fm, then C, then C7, well that should do the trick. this is how it starts,

            Gm Fm C C7
            Sweet home alabama,

            and the rest of the song should fit in, however sometimes dont include C7, if your good you should be able to figure it out.

      Sorry, don’t know the ‘real’ names of the chords but they are forms of these keys.

      Don’t recall the picking pattern right now but it’s easy to figure out when you have the chords.

      chords:
      G – 320033
      C – x32033
      D – xx0233
      Em -022033 (I know Em doesn’t leave those last two frettings in, but I think it sounds better this way and is easier)

      Verse goes G, C, D, G

      Chorus part goes Em, D, Em, D; then Em, D, G.

      maybe not exact but I hope this helps.

  11. Vocal tips needed. Voice strained during performance.
    Cliff

    I need info on warming up, general care of the singing voice. I have recently (well for several years, actually) noticed that during performances, my voice becomes strained by the end of the first set. I must be doing something wrong. Anybody know of free or low cost resources that are highly effective?

    Your help truly appreciated!

    Cliff

    1. Re: Vocal tips needed. Voice strained during performance.
      Mary Lynn

      1. You must always properly warm up before you sing. (Perhaps you need to warm up longer or more effectively)

      2. When you sing – don’t push. Use your diaphragm (Breathe using your stomach). Let the breath support your voice and never strain to hit any high or low notes. (Continuous straining can lead to severe vocal problems such as nodes)

      3. Avoid dairy. Drink lots of water.

      4. When your voice does become strained or you get sick – drink honey, lemon, & tea, do not talk or sing excessively until you have recovered, and gargle salted water. (And if you’re sick, take plenty of Vitamin C)

    2. Re: Vocal tips needed. Voice strained during performance.
      J Moran

      Cliff-
      I don’t think you are using your diaphragm when you sing…this would help your voice last longer in performances….

  14. playing barre chords...help!
    lindsay

    …pain is not the issue; i can ignore the pain. i just can’t get barre chords right. the middle strings are always muted. can anyone email me with tips on how to fix this? thanks!

    1. Re: playing barre chords...help!
      Ron

      Where applicable, make sure you use the TIPS of your fingers, don’t get lazy. Some positions are difficult but it will make the difference.

    2. Re: playing barre chords...help!
      mike johnson

      You can press down harder on the strings to get a better sound. It will take a while to get use to playing chords but if you practice enough, you will get it.

    3. Re: playing barre chords...help!
      Chippie

      I think if you were to move the position of your first finger up or down on the position (so that your thumb wraps higher/lower on the radius of the neck) you would discover that there are joints in the finger that will not allow proper fret pressure. Basically what I’m saying is to try to roll your wrist under and out based on the positions you play. I think if you master this technique it will open the door for many others. I have been practicing music theory for at least 13 years, and feel I am still sometimes re-learning the seemingly simplest techniques and theory instead of learning new stuff. However I think if you have insight on difficulties, you can pactice them into the dirt. I have worked on the 3 pcs. Steve Vai played on the movie "crossroads" for almost 6 yrs. and still continue to drop it. I am improving. To make a long story short I have learned: If you beat a dead horse, with a bit of practice, you can ride it when it gets up and runs!!!

        1. Re: playing barre chords...help!
          John

          Just be persistent. Hold your bar finger down firm and use just your finger tips only on the notes. If you keep practicing it will eventually gel. Good Luck and remember good things come to those who have patience and practice.
