Nice win. Augmented and diminished chords are not something often used, but when they are used in context sound really awesome!

Cool work on this song!
1 week left woohoo!

For fat fingers the best answer (but not the quickest or most comfortable to learn) is to follow that link Michelle gave you and learn barre chords. Barre chords will open up a whole new world for you.
Some other choices are to play the Fmaj chord and leave the e string open. It will sound different but should fit most situations. You could also move the d shape chord up 3 frets and just play the top 3 strings (g b e string)

(that should have been FMaj7 chord sorry didn’t notice the typo)

Nice Job Michelle. It takes me at least a day before I can play without at least the lyrics in front of me.
My request is “Yellow”, I liked that song

The classical being out of tune is probably just the nylon strings stretching. Nylon strings can stretch for days.
As far as the physical differences, the classical guitar will usually have a perfectly flat fingerboard and the steel string guitar will usually have a radius to the fingerboard. The nut on the classical should be wider. I don’t see why you wouldn’t play both depending on your mood. The classical would be a good platform for finger style, and you have your steel string for anything you want to do with pick in hand. Not that both guitars won’t do both.
My Dad plays his classical almost exclusively, but absolutely never uses a pick for anything. He plays blues, strumming songs, the whole business on his classical.

Nice Job Michelle! Nice take on the song!
oh a few years back… I got a surprise when some friends talked me into attending a Chris Isac concert, and as it happened Sarah McLachlan opened. That concert became the Sarah Mclachlan Concert that I went to, and oh yeah Chris Isac was there too… He’s ok I guess, but…It made the tickets more than worth it (I like her WAY more than Chris Isac) This is a great song! thanks for doing it.
(Chris Isac is a good entertainer though, don’t get me wrong)

That was really nice

Unfortunately your video is set to private so we don’t get to hear it.

Your strings will eventually settle in and keep tune. One thing to keep in mind. You can use a pick with your nylon strings but they will wear out much more quickly. If it were my guitar, I would keep it to fingerstyle, and use my thumb and fingers for strumming too. Otherwise you will end up replacing strings a lot. Also without a pick guard (flaminco guitars have a clear one these days I think) it will end up looking like Willy Nelson’s guitar some day.

Thanks!
It was hard enough to nail down one of the kids long enough to get the photo, I think I was out of brain power lol.

Not more or less… Just opposite! Made from the quill of the angel on the Zeplin album instead of a piece of bealzeboss’ horn.
