    I may have let it slip that I can play the guitar (although I haven't in about 14 months) and now I have til early Saturday afternoon to learn the words and chords to a new song. Lovely.

    She's going to be polite and compliment me regardless, but I can't do a half-assed job.

    Here you go

    I suggest Wagon Wheel, the ladies love the wagon wheel so they do :D plus it's 3 Chords, G,D,Em,C - You can't lose
    It's F F F Friday!!

    That week flew by.

    Another quiet weekend on the cards for me. Planning on hitting the gym in the morning for the first time in a couple of weeks which I'm sure will be traumatic.

    Having the other halfs folks up for dinner on Sunday which will keep me on my toes. Don't mind though as I do all the cooking in our house so can hide in the kitchen for a couple of hours at least!

    Amen to that brother

    Sounds like a nice one though, enjoy the gym, you'll feel like crap when you're there but like a champ for the rest of the day
    Yup. Second weekend of every month I throw a house party / dinner party / drinking session type thing. Must try not to forget to leave work early to go to the butcher to pick up my order. Someone remind me around 16:00 !

    Though last time I forgot he hand delivered it to the house on HIS way home. Starting to think I am his favorite customer. When you buy enough meat to feed 30 people, 12 times a year, I guess you get in a butchers good books.

    Sounds like quite the feast, enjoy that good sir

    I don't count Em as a chord as you're only using 2 fingers....that's my story and I'm sticking to it :pac:

    With that progression of chords, you're probably going to be using 4 a fair bit, but we'll leave you off :P

    I mentioned in passing last week that I was getting a few songs for the iPod, including One Republic's new one Counting Stars, and she said she liked that song, so that's what I've gone for. Capo (cappo?) on the 3rd fret and you're playing Am, C, F, G, in that order, for the entire song (verse and chorus), with the exception of one Dm, so hardly rocket science. All I've to do today is learn the words. :)

    I don't know Wagon Wheel. :o

    Are you barring it? If so, don't bother. Play it like a C, only drop your fingers down one for the top two strings.

    She might, but it wouldn't be as impressive then. :P

    If you're doing this, use your thumb to cover the low E on the 1st fret, and flatten your index finger to cover the B and E strings. Or mute them and be a bit selective on what strings you hit while you're strumming.


    While we're on the subject of music, Pharrel Williams new song, Happy, I'm getting really sick of that. I'd swear there's a quota, cause hardly half an hour passes between plays. Thankfully Today FM is trying to make up for it with AC/DC and Foo Fighters. :)

    Fairly certain I'm playing it like that but I still find it difficult....I can blame my upside-down stupid way of playing :)

    Is it any good? I watched the first two episodes a while back but it did not seem to be going anywhere so I gave up on it.

    Was the same myself. The start of it just seemed to be a pissing contest, with the young fella not wanting to be envolved at all.
