You'd feel right at home in my home state. Expecting up to a foot today. Funny, but since I got my first guitar earlier this year, I obsess much more about relative humidity than wind or snow. Stay warm. David |

Hi again Del. Welcome to the world of 6 little strings on a plank. Use any G you like, but do practice both forms of the open G. Time is your friend, and yes go slow, get it right, take a pause and a mental picture of it, and move on. I'm wondering if you got a capo and tried the chord up at the 5th fret, how you would do. Yes, do get a capo...Shubb makes excellent ones that are adjustable and will last forever, worth the expense. I like the idea of putting that pinky down somewhere with almost any open chord...especially the 3rd fret when playing an open D chord. See if you can stretch that pinky up to the 5th fret using an open G chord or D. Sound familiar?

Anyway, good luck. And my dad was a fabulous clarinet player: Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, and really anything else (played sax as well). Definitely my favorite wood wind! s |

I do have a capo but do not understand where it goes in your drill? Thanks D |

Clamp the capo on about a quarter inch behind the 5th fret of the neck. then forget it's there and finger chords exactly as you normally should. It should now require a lot less pressure to get those notes buzz-free, and clean. You'll see that the frets are closer together therefore less reach is needed. Hoping I'm not talking down to you here or talking nonsense.
