I too had a problem with an open G major chord when I was a beginner and
stumbled upon a way to fake it with a variation of a root-5-octave power
chord by using my thumb to fret the big E string at the third fret. This
chord sounds enormous with lotsa crunchy distortion (think of AC/DC's  
"Highway to Hell"). I've been told this style of using the thumb to fret the
big E and sometimes also the A string as well is part of a "hillbilly" style
called "hoakum".  I've also been griped at and cussed at for using it but I
say f*** it, it sounds good to me, I like using it, and will use it as long as
I live. Here it is:

    STRING         FRET       FINGER
    ======         ====       ======
    1 (E)           3         thumb
    2 (A)           5         third finger (both E and D strings
    3 (D)           5         third finger  are barred at 5th fret)
    4 (G)           0         let ring open
    5 (B)           1         first finger
    6 (E)           1         first finger (E and B barred by same finger)

    Without a third in this chord, it sounds really good with distortion.
    Also can be moved up and down the neck for some really interesting
    chords, leaving the G string ringing open.

    Enjoy.

Hello, is there someone out there that has the Rolling Stone (i think) tune
Angie. I heard it on the radio, and thought it was a really great tune, but
I wasn't quick enough to record it. I think it goes something like this:


Angie, Angie, ain't it time we say goodbye
with no lovin in our soul, and no money in our ..?
..
Am     E      G        F          F/Em F/Dm C 
Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?

This is all I recall, but I would very much appreciate if someone could post
the lyrics and chords to this great song.

Thanks in advance,

Henrik Bohre

The program chord writes a Postscript file to the standard output (i.e. the
screen).  So if you want to save the file, just reroute the output to a file.

Type: chord songs/heaven > filename

The chord.man file is the man pages file for the program (I assume you are on
a Unix machine).  If you put it into the directory where all the other man
pages are (like /usr/local/man/man1) and change it's name to chord.1, then
if you need help just type: man chord

Hope this helps,
John

I love this idea!  I've been playing guitar for a little more than a
year now and I'm pretty competent when it comes to moving around the
fretboard.  I'm dying to learn the scales (for soloing and improv) and
as much theory as you can dish out.  

Although it's true that you can't show all the proper fingerings using
ascii text, you can still teach some very useful lessons.  You could use
numbers to represent the fingers (1=index, 4=pinky) and show how certain
parts should be fingered.  For example, here's an E chord:

  0
  0
  1
  2                                 <-- this shows which fingers to use...
  3
  0

--0--
--0--
--1--
--2--                        <-- ... in which position.
--2--
--0--

Anyway, that's just an example.  Do it however you like but please DO IT!  :)

I assume these are used machines with plastic pegs in fair but not

I am the person who volunteered to teach a lesson of the week based on 
a 'vote' to my e-mail address.  The 'Yes' response was huge!  I have
received well over 100 positive messages. I have also read the net follow-ups.
I do not vounteer to organize this whole thing (as nice as it looks like
it might turn out) but I will teach a lesson a week as soon as all of the
ideas etc. are collected etc.  Heres what we need based on the response I
have recieved over the last few days:

1) A standard notation format for the lessons
   I think using tab for notation and chords is a must for beginner/intermed
   level players!

2) A standard notation style (ASCII,GIF,TIFF ...)
   I think an ASCII tab format would work best (won't leave any one out) and
   can be easily printed, saved, compressed, archived etc.

3) A lesson archiver
   The weekly lessons would be posted AND saved at an FTP site

4) A few teachers
   The topics speed, technique etc have been mentioned and I think a few
   people have volunteered for those spots.  

5) A lesson 'compiler'
   It would be nice if a person existed who could receive the lessons in
   E-mail from the 'teachers' and then distributed the weekly package to
   the net and the 'archiver' etc.

6) Topics - It might be neat if any body who wanted to do lessons would just
   mail them to the 'compiler' and then each week there would be all kinds of
   topics.  Personaly I would teach a little of everything and I would like
   to think that people would enjoy my lessons no matter what I teach.  Much
   like the way many people look foward to the 'Guitar Player' lessons and
   certain teachers.  But that is just my opinion (BTIJMO ;-))

So,  who ever volunteered to organize all of this (sorry i didn't jot down
your address)  Lets get an organized decision (vote?) on how to do this
LESSON OF THE WEEK thing and get it on the road!

Please no more personal votes to my E-MAIL address.  However I will take
other disscussion.

Meantime I will be working on a few lessons!
