good to know that there are board members with ambitions around!

Ambition achieved.......................oh what to do next

4000??

Sounds like a plan. Right off to post some more <deleted> then.

I wonder if you speak <deleted> in the real world as well, or if just expell or your <deleted> here

Just in here matey. I consider this place, my release from having to behave myself all day

Same same, except, it gets a bit embarrasing when I talk in my tv.com personality to people in the real world.

I always imagine people are going to lie down and start rocking back and forth giggling silly

or start whistling or god forbid, roll their eyes...

Was it this grupper:

Have you ever tried to figure out the chords to the Rolling Stones song, "Wild Horses"? They appear easy enough. At first you seem to hear a G major, then an A minor. There's also a B minor in there, and a D major. But when you play these chords in standard tuning, they just don't sound right. Sure, you can sing the song using these chords, but there's something about the harmonies that's just not right.

The reason that the chords sound right and not right at the same time lies in the tuning. The acoustic guitar which begins the song and continues throughout is tuned to Open G. So while the chords are basically G major, A minor, B minor, and D major, the voicings of those chords made possible by the altered tuning are such that you can never achieve the same sound in standard tuning, which can be pretty frustrating!

I love Open G tuning.It's a favorite among slide guitarists, because it gives you a wide open major chord on any fret, and it allows an easy alternating bass because the root (the main note of the chord, G if it's a G chord, for example) is on the fifth string while the fifth (D if it's a G chord, for example) is on the sixth and the fourth. The presence of the fifth on two separate strings an octave apart enables you to achieve a nice variety in the bass when playing the tonic chord, and easily play a bass line for the IV chord in the I IV V pattern without changing positions. Both slide and non slide players also appreciate the fact that open G also enables you to play a standard blues line (more on that later) with relative ease!

I also love Open G because in addition to enabling you to play major chords very easily (just barre any fret) it also, for the more adventurous non slide player, makes possible complex voicings that can be used as substitutions for standard major and minor chords.

A word of caution here, though. Non slide applications of Open G tend to be more difficult than other altered tunings. So if this is your first experience with altered tunings, by all means, give it a try. But if you find it too difficult, try your hand at open D or DADGAD first (click below for lessons on these tunings). When you've mastered those, then come back here and try Open g again. You'll find it a lot easier once you are more familiar with the whole concept of altered tunings!

TUNING YOUR GUITAR

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"raro" so that is what you are doing ...................................

Yes / No

Kan Win, you proved your google abilities, but we don't know the name of the guitarist yet...

Oh <deleted> it, Keith Richards.....!

redrus

Gotta be the slow hand Clapton

Gotta be the slow hand Clapton

Oi! You saying my uncle is a wancker?

Kayo Clapton.

edit:

Here´s a close up pic of slow hand taken about ten or fifteen years ago.... Looks rather different to me...

so raro.. is it a mandolin or something...?

you don´t know, do you?

Der, your pics much lower down the fret board....!

redrus

no ring on the finger, no fat fingers,

Plus no guitar I´ve ever played has been as narrow as Raro´s

Its George fuc*in Formby....!

redrus

looks like you never played a '65 (?) Tele...and this is hint #3

So we got Keef Richards and Clapton so far.....any more entries?

Bob Dylan ?

Well seeing as Raro came into bedlam and posted in the last word but didn't say my answer was correct. I will go for my second choice of

Jeff Beck

I was reminded of a young Ry Cooder when I first saw the avvy. Fingers are too bony and scrawny to be Claptons. 2nd guess would be Keith 'sniffy jiffy' Richards.

Hey Raro, get yur ass back in here. Are any of my guesses right. If not who is it? Then you can leave
