If I'm playing fingerstyle I'm not constantly strumming, its more melody with a chord or two. I just use the side of my thumb, not the tip, if strumming a chord. I use my pads/tips to play the individual strings. maybe pay close attention to how you're plucking/playing the high strings? maybe ne...

So someone in the favorite song thread mentioned "Slow Show" by the National. I'm a 50+ bluegrass, classic country, southern rock etc guy and would have never found this. I have to say thanks, that was a good tip. Been listening to them for a couple weeks now. Lyrically great songs, and thei...

Just starting out? I'm self taught until recently, and wish I'd have had someone give me some structure at the beginning. Jumping around youtube is a good way to learn specific songs, but sometimes you just need to ask questions or have someone catch a mistake before it becomes a habit or make sure ...

Had to put my heathen dog down this morning. Stayed with him till the end. I still think the first time coming home when the dog isn't there to greet you is worse than that last vet visit. Anyway, scratch your dog's ears and give him/her a treat tonight. ...

maybe 1 out of 20 judges is elected because he or she is a good attorney and has the correct judicial temperment. And usually those few are unopposed. The rest are only there because they got more votes in a popularity contest. Although there are some very good judges scattered across the stat...
