'Leavin... on a jet plane...'

[lynnem]

... man, I wish that were true. I feel like taking a trip or something. I may even restart the search for some nice places in the mountains where (hopefully) it'd be cooler. The heat's pretty scorching and so today, I'll be taking all the 'sheltered' routes around campus in order to make life just that little bit easier

congrats on the guitar, darl. I've sorta given up on that. I still just know the 3 chords (A,D,G). :lol:

[lynnem]

thanks for the link :)

[lynnem]

Yay! Join me in the my awkwardness hun! :lol: It'll help you feel better coz I'm so rough at it ;)

[lynnem]

Meanwhile (just to be totally anal), that is something like millionth post or comment in which it's obvious that I was writing one thing and then changed my mind midway or something :P gah for the unnecessary words! :P

[janjan0823]

ick. so not looking forward to any callouses. :lol:

[lynnem]

hey, if you can already play those chords without em, so much the better for you! ;) My bro says the same thing... he doesn't want to build up the calluses on his fingers but then when he was showing me a couple of tunes, he kept on stopping and 'gah!'-ing and it did, ultimately, make for a good show :lol:

[janjan0823]

did you know there's a cheat G chord? only uses 1 finger ;)

[lynnem]

you lie! ok, go on, tell me more! ;)

(and if there's some joke in there that I'm totally missing, ehrm... oh, hahahahah! :P)

[janjan0823]

no, I kid you not! It sounds exactly like the regular G. My mom taught it to me and my sis (she had to find a way since she has small fingers, as do I and my sis) and I can't figure it out in my head right now because I don't have a guitar near me at the mo, but as soon as I figure it out, I'll let you know. :D

[lynnem]

ach! go your mom! sounds perfect for I am also of the tiny fingered kind :D yes yes, the minute you figure it out, do run it on over here and share! ;)

[janjan0823]

okay, it's string number 1 and third fret. that's it. :)

[lynnem]

seriously? That's it?? Hun, you rock! :D I've almost finished my first song and maybe this'll make it a little less awkward for me :P Yay!

[janjan0823]

try it and see that it really works :)

[lynnem]

it does sound very similar! As in, when I substitute it in the song, it actually sounds ok but there is still a definite difference. I guess then, it'll depend on the song.

That said... I finished a song! Whee! :D

[janjan0823]

yeah, it's good for some things :D

and yay! congrats, darl!
