Well, Not much to say. It's not polished. None the less ... So to speak.

LC, that was some mighty fine strummin!! Wish I had the chord progression, I'd love to strum along with this. Great job!

[Lcjones]

Hey pam,

I'm a capo and three chord junkie. I'm capo'd on the 2nd fret. The chords positions are Am, G, F and back to Am. That's it.

Les,
Pretty nice I'd say. Interesting to know that such an unpolished tune could sound so darn good.

[skinnybloke]

Wall of sound there LC. Really liked the theme.

Hey Trev,

Thanks for listening!

I rarely ever use the "natural F major chord". Here's an easy way to get that F chord to work.

LC's cheat of the day!

Here's your G Chord. Note which fingers to use

E--------------3(pinky)-----------------
B---------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A------2(index)-------------------------
E--------------3(middle)----------------

And the "easy" transition to the F. Just shift your Index and Middle finger as illustrated and add the Ring finger in. This really helps out when your wrist can't contort to that natural F position.

E----------------3(pinky)---------------
B---1(index)----------------------------
G-----------2(middle)-------------------
D----------------3(ring)----------------
A---------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------

And to top it off you can mute the high E string and retain the F chord as well as play the high E string open which gives you a nice Fmaj7 tone.

You can also play the F like this making that nice Fmaj7.

E---------------------------------------
B---1(index)----------------------------
G-----------2(middle)-------------------
D-----------------3(ring)---------------
A-----------------3(pinky---------------
E---------------------------------------

Hope this helps

Really nice, LC! Almost sounds like a banjo in there..is there? That's just guitar? Wow...I definitely have to work on my fingerin'...

Elle

[Lcjones]

Hey Elle,

Yep. You heard a banjo. There are five tracks without the vocals. The bass track and primary guitar track are panned "0". No pan. The third track is panned hard right with the same acoustic as the primary. The fourth track is panned hard left with a 12 stringer and the banjo is track five which is panned 50% left.

I like all of Les's tunes, this is no exception.

Very good job, and thanks again for taking the time to teach some of the bluegrass licks. (kinda offtopic)
