I was watching the Robben Ford lesson and he mentioned his amp; A 1983 Dumble. Reverb has a used 1984 for only $98,000. I was going to buy it, but then I noticed it said local pick-up only.Well, that adds $66.00 for gas to the price, putting it out of my price range.

I have always said if this happens again I WON'T miss it this time! And I was always heard that there was not to be another one. I have to go!!!! I haven't heard anything on a line up yet.

Want a nice mellow sounding guitar? Try one with a western cedar top, especially if you play fingerstyle.

My Seagull S12 has a cedar top and cherry back/sides, I love it. At the time of purchase it had a very bright sound which is expected from a 12 string but the salesman said it will take a few years for the guitar to mellow. The S12 is now three years old, sounds great and the cedar top is darkening as it ages. The down side of the cedar top is that the wood is much softer than a spruce top and requires one to be a little more careful when handling the instrument to prevent marking the top. The S12 is always played for the Gordon Lightfoot songs. Henk

And HERE is the line-up!

Yup got those down, after working on Chattahoocie (only at 80-90 bpm) the single notes seem to become a lot easier. @Triple-o I can finger all the chords, lucky I have the G (both 3 finger versions), C, and G7 down pretty well due to past attempts at learning guitar. The B7 and C7 are where I have the biggest issue with changes, but I can still get to them fine, just not fast. The 234 A I am picking up slowly, but I originally learned to use 213 for the A and prefer it in most cases because it feels more natural to me, but I'm learning both.

Hi, My goal in session 5 was to make sure I could finger the chords.I knew it would take a lot of practice to make the changes.The G7, G and the C chords posed a problem for me but, I moved on before I could play them and continued to work on them. When I started this course I wanted to play the stuff BB king played and I remember him saying he didn’t do chords.(He obviously didn’t count triads)That was very encouraging, but the fact is chords are everywhere The G7 and G barre chords are easier than the open chord versions. I was also relieved to learn chords like G/C, G/B and G/A and other fingering for G7. Even the 4 finger G chord turned out to be easier than the 3 finger version. Cadd9 and C major7 were also nice to know. The one song that helped me with the E and B7 chords was the song Folsom Prison Blues.

Don't forget to play the single notes of the song melodies of the songs in S5 as well
