We haven’t had that beautiful rain in Central Texas for months. Thanks for reminding us of its beauty. Hopefully we can celebrate some in the next few months.

Hey, what is so sad about free will? There are lots of places where choices are few. But I get that choices come with consequences and rewards. I have said that anything powerful enough to help you can hurt you so think. Can you tell I’m an Enneagram 5? Thanks for sharing and your usual Good Jib.

What a crazy idea for song inspiration. A tongue burning muse in a convenient packet.

Somebody is having way to much fun. I can’t decide if it is you or the percussionist banging away on legendary drums. In any case, keep it up. All God’s Critters got a place in the Choir.

@Vic Long time no read but so happy to see you are celebrating another milestone. Hope all is well on your guitar journey and you are healthy.

Maybe summer, but just don’t know. Not sure if it is a trend or an aberration. Or a result of coming out of COVID and folks just aren’t as “at home” as they were. The forum and Virtual Open Mics (VOM’s) were more active during that time frame.

Right. Most exclude the low E on the C Chord (although technical it is in the C Chord or use a pinky or ring finger to add a G for a fuller C chord on the 3rd fret on the low E. On a D the low E is not played. Some wrap their thumb around the neck at the second fret of the low E to get an F# and will play it for effect. Hope that validates your thoughts. Keep having fun.

After Tony’s last Episode on Acoustic Tuesday regarding string changing and your post, I have bought a new set of strings for each of my guitars and will be having a string changing fiesta. I haven’t tried Santa Cruz strings but I am tempted. Thanks.

Now that is quality life and music. I love it. We need more inter generational music.

You are correct that C-E-G would be the notes for a C chord (1-3-5). Now about inversion. If the C is the lowest note (most Bass note) that would be the Root inversion. If the E (3rd note) is the lowest Bass note that is the first inversion. if the G (5th note) is the lowest Bass note that would be the second inversion. If it were a C7 chord with four notes and that 7th was the lowest note, it would be the third inversion. Now I’ve never really thought about how you know which string to play the notes on. It’s always been for me which strings will my finders reach. The different chord shapes let one play the same chords in different voicings in different places on the neck and in different inversions. If I’m playing with some one who is playing an open C chord, I might play the same C chord with an A shape on the 5th fret (root on C on 5th fret) or an E shape barre or (mini F shape) on the 8th fret to achieve the same chord with a different voicing. I’m not sure if I am addressing your question, but the fact that you are asking helps us all grow. Thanks.

I don’t know because I am still here. But I don’t see a reason to change what is working. I don’t mind the Daily Challenge’s periodic repetition because there are still new series of lessons. Most recently there are challenges built around a specific song and that is fresh and fun. I look at the Challenge repetition like reordering a meal at the restaurant. I’ve gotten hungry since the last time I ate it. Techniques are like meals and need to be eaten again. They go away. Anyway, thanks for the thread and motivating us to think through it.

You don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’. Good use of a capo. Go get ‘em.

A comb? That’s great. Part luthier, part musician, all fun. Keep enjoying your journey. Thanks for sharing including a bouncing ball wording to sing along.

Your song has genuine depth and the chord progression is appropriately minor. I share many of your sentiments. I relate. Songwriting is an exercise in bravery. Good job.
