I am an grey haired English Ex-pat living in France. I have returned to the Geetar after an absence of 35 years. I have being playing again for about 5 months and do not remember anything from my younger days so I am a real beginner . I have a dread nought electro-acoustic and an Epiphone LP Special II.
appologies for the spelling mistakes especially in the posts title.
I am still struggling with language but it is like playing the guitar. It takes practise, practise and more practise. Living it Belgium Kirk you must have a Flemish accent to your french?
Don't let a "Wallon" hear you say that, microcube. The Wallons and the Flemish don't get along all that well, and the idea of their Romance language being tainted by the gutteral sounds of Flemish would nauseate them. It's pure French, the only thing different about it is the way they say numbers ... the Belgians have a word for 'seventy' and 'ninety' (septente and nonente) like English does; In France they say 'sixty-ten' and 'eighty-ten'. Both countries use 'four-twenties' for eighty, so in France when you say 'ninety', it translates into English as 'four-twenties-ten'!
Walloon is, if I remember correctly, one the earliest versions of French, still kind of half Latin ... it's a dialect that's rarely spoken anymore, but I do remember hearing it way back then when I lived there, in small remote villages. These days though, the Wallons speak modern French.
Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
