Re: One of mine and a folk Trad PD

Y So where does that leave the less skilled musician like me? Scrabbling away in the hope that something might work. Here again, I feel like you're "mixing concepts": skilled and gifted! One was born gifted, but this one having such a chance will certainly do not a lot if not working enou...

Re: Chord identification

Hi muddywolf,

Stay tuned, I'm going for few gigs with friends so it mights take few days before you got a better answer ;-)
Just a tip for the day: sing what you're listening and want to play and try to play it (think to tab by the way, it helps indeed...) ;-)

Later,
