Hiya burly - I just googled a heap of fretboard diagrams and will print them off tomorrow and start to really understand where all the notes are and how they relate.
I'm trying to learn to pick notes but nothing is in time cos I have to keep referencing which note it is and which string. I wrote all the letters of the notes under the musical notation to help, but then you get different octaves of notes and I got lost again.
5 am? are you a postman or you just like seeing the sun come up hehe?

Skippygirl: use TAB (Tablature) notation to start with. It's a whole lot easier.
With "normal" notation, the notes are important, but they typically refer to a certain note that in most instruments can only be played one way (ie: a piano has only 1 middle C). For a guitar, it doesn't really matter which "middle C" you hit when you are starting off.
Skilled guitarists (not me!) choose the particular middle-C they want to hit depending on a whole bunch of things. It could be right after a long slide up, so it may be right up the fretboard near the body, or maybe they want a different tone, or they have a particular run they want to play in one hit, or combine with an open string. The latter cases are more likely.
I've also seen heaps of examples where "official" tab for a song doesn't match what the artist plays. Take the official tab for Super Colossal album - for Ten Words, the second "echo" of the tag line is shown on the first 3 frets around the high E string, but if you listen carefully it sounds wrong. When I saw Joe play it on videos and live, I saw it around the 9th to 12th fret on the middle strings, and when you play it there it sounds so much better.
So the "correct" note is really a matter of expression, and or convenience or necessity... :)
mind you, I'm still a beginner, so that's all I've managed to work out so far.
You can also learn to "Sight read" tab a whole lot quicker than standard notation. At least that's for me. I guess the side effect is you become lazy and don't learn the notes as you should.
PS. Did you consider my email any more Skippy?

damn maritime, you gots more flowers right there than I've gotten in a lifetime, lol.....they sound purty, and definitely just the thing to cheer a space up. G'ahead, be gay if that's what it takes...spring flowers are lovely and much better than the snow and ice we have currently going here!
Skippy....I guess we did survive that damn movie but I scelped (screamed and yelped) a few times and grabbed me mums hands....I have a bowl of nuts still sitting around from Christmas and she decided to crack and eat a couple....she had a hard time getting them cracked so I jumped over there to do it for her, next to her on the couch, and then I stayed right there!! Great excuse to huddle and have her protect me!! lol! And she laughed at meh fer jumping but I don't care....the boogie mans dint get us :)
It's a disturbing movie...most of it is not as intensely scary as I thought it would be, but the last 10 minutes or so makes up for it...gah.......
I really, really want those 60 minutes back that were stolen from me yesterday...my body is still on non-function, shut-down, energy-saving mode and refuses to move!! It's gonna be a long-ass day...........

F-In Law update:
After making him fast all day (till past 4 PM) last Friday and again yesterday, cutting him off most meds since last Wednesday in preparartion, and then scrubbing his surgery because of "tired" docs and shortages of anesthesists, he is playing the waiting game again today... Considering what he is up against pretty cruel treatment in my book.....

Mike..praying for the father in law, hope all goes well.
Skippy..4:30- 5:00 A.M. is normal for a farmer. It makes for a long day going until 9:00P. Ok so it's 9: 30 A here. What time is it it Australia?
Darren sorry to hear about the JS 1200. I know what you mean by difficult times. This thing really looks scary for the U.S... I think it is worse than most people imagine. We are seeing city and county governments struggling, and the military is training for "Urban assault tactics" in case of failures of municipalities or God forbid even higher up. We all need to pray for each other. Maybe things will turn up here in a while. I think some good people are working on it, so I have faith.

Hey Joe or To whom ever gets this, I am a big fan and own a very smal business( Valley Custom Canvas) I am shooting a T.V. commercial and wanted to use one of your songs as backroun d music. I am not sure which one, but if allowed I am sure I could find one that fits the add. We make and install awnings, marine canvas etc. in Central PA. Just a small business trying to survive..........Anyhow I doubt this will end up in anyones hands that can approve it, but if it does let me know.........Dave Smith Valley Custom Canvas www.valleycustomcanvas.com
If you need anything let me know.

maritime, Spring in my country, ánd in Amsterdam. Yes there are even red, purple and yellow tulips next to my PC screen! Narcissus flowers on the kitchen table. Yellow narcissus on the coffee table. Given to me by friends to cheer up the heavy heart. But one more bunch and I will look gay! LOL!
*hands over one more bunch of flowers*
mikesb, sorry to hear that about yer F-in-law. That stinks! My sis was supposed to have her surgery at 10:30 a.m., but had to wait till after 4:00 p.m. because the doc had complications with his first patient. That was nerve wracking enough, but to have to wait days ffs! That's just abusive! So sorry to hear it - poor dude.

SuperSwingDog - LOL!! Hopefully Sammy never logs on to this site. You might give him an idea!
Keeping a trem system in tune. Personally, I think the locking trem is great for staying in tune for a long time. My JS1000 can take some serious note bending and whammy usage and keep in tune pretty well. After some serious playing time it comes out of tune a half step or so. The fine tuners usually do the trick pretty well. I currently play 2 guitars. The JS and a Les Paul Standard. I lose tuning on the Les Paul about 3 times as often as my JS1000. But I'm also not that good yet. So the way I play might have a lot to do with the tuning as well.

I restrung my rg by cutting one string, replacing it and bringing it to tune before cutting the next. It seemed to work well. I stay in tune much better than my Stratocaster or even the Les Paul. I was intimidated by the string change and that's why I put the thing away for the better part of a year.
