Hey Linda, just a lot of sweat and chewed nails smile

Matt, you've come up through the "School of Rock," actually a good way to learn chords...the guitar is very "chord friendly."

John, the life of a piano tuner! You must hear the beats in all the chords! Yeah, we had two professors in college who had perfect pitch, one 440 and one 442, and they fought like cats and dogs...when they played together they sounded like it too smile

Lyle, I relate chords like E to the shape they form on the guitar. I have relative pitch, or at least relatively so, getting within a half step by singing my lowest possible note, and moving from there. Similar method to yours.

Al, you're Mr. Chord, that's for sure. Yes, I love your jazz guitar stuff. Again, no need for you to read music unless you just want to do it for fun, you know more theory than the vast majority of music readers. It's just in your own language.

Good Posts All,
Mike

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
