ok....I'm a pretty newbie guitarist.

Today I was messing around with ritfw on my acoustic. I have trouble switching from D to C. For some reason, I just can't get the movement down.....but I'm getting better. Then I just started playing chords. D then C, A then C, B then C, G then C. Just to pracitce C....C....C....C! lol.

Anyway....then I came up with this.
2-2--3-
3-3--3-
2-2--0- X8
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0--2-
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

-3-3--2-2-2-2-3--3-3
-3-3--3-3-3-3-3--3-3
-0-0--2-2-2-2-0--0-0
X4
-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--2-2
-2-2
3-3--3-2-0--
-3-3
0-0
3-

Now I can play it smooth and 10x's faster. :D

    Crazy easy song. The verses are basically Em-D-C, the chorus is G-D-C-Em and the chorus before the next verse a little A-A7-A-A7 repeating.

    I've played it using that Cadd9 too!! :D

    Not usually, but sometimes I'll slow it down and play it on my acoustic like that :)

    It sounds good.....
    "I Miss You Already!!!!!"

    "Sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent, Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get"

    I'm ending a set I'm playin this week (solo) by bringin up my brother and a buddy to jam it out.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
