My sweat totally eats through metal. Wow, you definitely got it worse than I do. Either that, or my bio chemistry has changed over the last decade. Years ago I played acoustic guitar and the strings were more likely to bite into my fingers than my fingers were to corrode the strings -- which they d...

You know that Alien movie where Sigourney Weaver is a human-alien hybrid clone so she's has blood that eats through steel? (Terrible film) Well, I must have some alien DNA in me because the oils in my fingers quickly tarnish any nickel plated whistle I pick up. I don't have any pictures, but the Gen...

"Polish President Lech Kaczynski and members of his country's military, political and church elites crashed in thick fog Saturday as it took them to a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the slaughter of thousands of Polish military officers by Soviet secret police... The crash also shocke...

Thanks again Simon! As for my originally intended question, I was looking for a shortcut set of chords that work with any song you throw at it. I've never played accompaniment or been accompanied before so it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now that you've explained it though, it seems like a p...

Late reply, but after reading Simon's reply I'm thinking it might be easier for me to find an ITM guitar player than try to pick the instrument up again. Your post, though, actually made pretty good sense. However, I think I lost you a little when you were talking about chords in the G tonic. If you...

Yeah... I usually haunt the whistle and flute part of these forums, but I've been acutely aware of the lack of accompaniment in my music so I've decided to pick up the guitar again after eight years. I wasn't involved in ITM back then so I was wondering if there were any generic chords that I could ...

Ohh! I see nothing! I know nothing!

OK, that's what I thought of right quick-like ... I love making up sets, esp. on the fly. Have fun! Wow, you thought of all those quick-like? You really are Wilde. Goodness, so many options! :boggle: You guys have given me a lot of listening and experimenting to do. But, this is what I'm thinking a...

I don't know why I never bothered before but, I just started learning "The Irish Washerwoman" so I've been thinking of what songs would go well with it in a set. I've already settled on "The Blackthorn Stick." I just need a third. Any ideas?

Looks like a horrid skin disease to me, something that bubbles the flesh and bursts out in black fuzz.

Ah, but now she has the international news coverage to back up her boasting.

Being somewhat of a sailing enthusiast, I can't say I'm not a little jealous.

I've been a faithful Firefox user for a few years and I have to say I've never bothered with that little arrow or looked at it critically. Looking at it now, though, it's an odd combination of recently visited websites, frequently visited websites, sites I visited once, and sites I haven't visited i...

You can have so much fun with a little snow, an empty, unplowed parking lot and the e-brake.
