mr nick The first song I ever learned was "Ghost Riders In The Sky". his was at 13 yrs old. It helped with my accuracy, and only requires 2 or 3 fingers. After that I learned chords. Until I find TAB for it, here you are.

LOW E STRING: E=E0, ETC

E,A,A,A,A2,A3,A3,A3,A,E3,E3,E3,E,E3

E,A,A,A,A2,A3,A3,A3,D,D2,D2,D2,A3,D2

Hi everyone!

Suzie2000, here is the link: Joe, Rubina and ZZ:

Stevee T, estrela, hola, the original name of the Spicy Spanish Sausage I was referring to is "chistorra", it's a very characteristic spicy red sausage, usually prepared grilled with red peppers and a touch of pepper, and served with a drink before lunch or in the afternoon. It's a hot "tapa" (snack)! It goes well with other meals too, one of the best it's with rice and vegetables. It's a type of "chorizo" but more spicy and I think it's more delicious, try it if you like :-)

estrela, glad to see you! sorry to hear you were a bit sad, I'm sure you'll find the joyful path soon. You sound a very passionate woman and life is passion!
Anyway I want to respond you to some of your questions I have pending, I've been out the weekend. I hope to put a smile on your face with these thingies :-)
I'm not sure about the origin of "chorizo" but I always thought it was Spanish, from Catalonia, not Portuguese ¿¿?? let's leave it as Iberian :-) and I want to try that Calabrezza!
About those Brazilian musicians you mentioned, I know Chico Buarque and Carlinhos Brown only by name, I'm not very much into vocal music, but I've listened to Caetano Veloso, that distinct soft voice... Right now I remember a nice version of the famous bolero "Contigo en la distancia" and "The Girl from Ipanema".
After Nando Lauria, the other Brazilian musician I love is Torcuato Mariano, he was born in Argentina, but he moved to Brazil being a child, so he is Brazilian in adoption, great guitarist, a real hybrid between Jeff Beck, Toninho Horta and Pat Metheny, an explosive fusion! And enjoy the Carnival, I wish I could be there :-)

Steven Wilde, hi! I've heard you are a bit down, I hope you feel better today. Be sure that all the good vibes you send daily will come back to you with more strength. And I want point out mikesb's advice, the best antidote to depressed moments is to have no time to think, that's a great truth that we all know but sometimes we don't want to see or forget. So be focused in the artistic creation, it's the best outlet, then when you feel better, you can't believe what you have created. I have an artistic temperament too, I'll tell you someday. Believe in the wonderful and unique person you are, the world need more Steven Wilde! About if I play guitar, well... I have two guitars, I play a little, I'll tell you later :-) And extra pile of good vibes to you, see you soon, and please Steven, never think about drinking :-(

962, hi, about past and current musical likings, yes it's something that in some way or other happen to musicians and music enthusiasts, it's ages since I listened to many favorite bands. I'm curious to Nuno Bettencourt, the last album I've heard of him was Schizophonic, do you know if he has released something instrumental?

bahduh, hi! how are things? I'll reply to your mail very soon, all the best

Twisted Nipple, I love Strange Beautiful Music!

michelle, sorry to hear about your stepdad, my best wishes

It's really important to have a yearly check-up. Diabetes is a silent illness, there are lots of people who have it and still don't know it :-(

marimariSRV, it sounds like you had a blast at NAMM! thanks for sharing all these stories :-)

Lucy / Estrela- thankyou! :-)

Estrela by the way, if you want to post direct links that come up in blue font, I finally mastered it after many tries to get it right!

You type (make sure it's square brackets) [ link] except don't leave any gaps!

then without any gaps the web address e.g.

http://www.satriani.com

then [ /link] but don't leave gaps!!!

and it should work I hope!

I had to type it out in this dopey way otherwise www.satriani.com would just have come up as a link... actually I will just test it to make sure I'm not talking crap!!! Here goes... (using the above method...)

http://www.satriani.com

Will it work...?

... yes it worked, sorry it was such a confusing explanation, everyone!! :-) If you try to type the instructions how it is it just comes up with the link..... oh dear.

Yesterday by the way I watched 2 films in a row which proceeded to give me bad dreams: The Village followed by Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (Uncut).

I liked "The Village" and didn't think it was scary but that horrible red costume kept coming into my mind just as I was dropping off, it kind of reminded me of that scary "sandman" character that freaked me out as a child... Does anyone else remember that? My dad used to say to me (if I didn't go to sleep) the sandman would come and get me... I think I took it a bit too seriously though!!!

Lucy aqui en México chistorra es una tipo de chorizo, no una salsa.
