Peace Lily - speed is only one factor though. for me it takes more then speed. the guitar player has to have a feel to their sound/songs, if there's no soul... they can be faster then light and it's not good enough >=:)

Thanks for the encouragement peeps.
Skips - I'll be coming to Oz in two or three years, might be able to jam a bit by then. At the moment the only jam i can do is strawberry jam in a sandwich.

Cubes - Nope, you musta got me mixed up with some other Cappy, i've never even indicated I could play and have had a couple of differences with so called players on here who reckoned my musical opinions were invalid because I didn't play (and therefore couldn't understand). My wife can play the git and piano/keys, my son was making rapid progress on the electric git but abruptly lost interest.
Edit - Yep, that makes me the only non player on T2JOFB though having now progressed to G major AND C major i'm rapidly becoming a PLAYER!!! LMAO

Smashing- as far as Wolf2's posts go the last one is pretty easy to dis-cipher .... >waiting on a order from Dennis Kirk> got a new dog to help keep the bears away>got a buncha smokes > needs to change the trani oil in something . Etc.
mild enough post
is best not to rile him up though. He has been here longer than many lot of us . I usually just skip over & go on w/my day. :-)
BigBunny- I agree on the speed ..I could care less who is fastest . I read the article to see if Joe was listed, then I stopped reading LOL!

...* ole Cappy looks up Dmajor....
Edit - ...and wonders if there is such a thing as a finger stretcher 'cause these chord thingies are requiring my fingers to go in directions they don't wanna go!

Peace Lily - you are better then me, i didn't read the article >=;) how about a poll like, top 100 guitarists that make your heart break... don't think they'd get 100 ;)
smashing - wolf2's posts let me know i'm on the right board ;)
all T2Jers - anyone else listening to Dream Theater's new album? i only have it on mp3 download, really enjoying it... on my 3rd listen. i ordered the box set and they are delayed in shipping :( i don't think i can wait a month to have this on cd!

Daz - D maj not so bad, G maj and C maj are buggers for my big fingers. If i have any of my three big fingers on the middle of a string it touches the strings on either side so trying to stretch and manipulate them so as not to touch the other strings is awkward. I am making slow progress though.

Yep, i've been doing it right but my finger ends are telling me they want to be near each other and grumble when I separate them. For example in G, first two fingers fine but number three wants to be near his mates. I guess it's a matter of perseverence.

Skips - Will you be eating with AustIN and OUT Lewis?
Cubes - Pour moi?
Edit - Something just occurred to me, could I be pressing too hard on the strings? My finger ends rapidly become sore, compared to most peeps I have quite strong hands.

wolfie, an institution? Quite.
Don't worry Cappy S, I've been "playing" for 25+ years and I still suck (I think you already know more chords than I do ;?) ...it's always a nice relaxing therapeutic release, however...I love my g-fiddle :?)
