34. get a chord book...
...or go to a guitar chord website.

Start with a few basic chords: A E G D C F Em Am

Keep the fingers of your left hand (if you play right handed) perpendicular to the neck. Don't neglect your pinky finger. Use it.

When you practice switching between chords, don't break the rhythm with your right hand. Keep the rhythm no matter what. If your fingers on your left hand land all goofy and it takes a while to make the next chord formation, just keep the rhythm. You'll learn much faster if you don't let it stop you.

Black Jack Davey is the most simple song ever. Try learning that one.

I have to feed my son. I'll be back with more.

40. Blackjack Davey (Simple 3-chord version)
Edited on Wed Mar-29-06 08:28 PM by rbnyc
E Blackjack Davey come riding through the woods,
Singin' up a song so
A gay.
Well, he
E played and he sang, 'til the
A green woods rang,
D He charmed the heart of a
E lady,
A He charmed the heart of a
E lady.

E "Won't you come along and be my pretty little missy?
Won't you come along and be my
A lady?"
She said,
E "Ooh, you know it's right, I'm'a
A sleep on the ground tonight,
D With my man Blackjack
E Davey.
D With my man Blackjack,
E Davey."

(Follow same chord structure for the rest.)

"Tell me now, who gonna shoe your pretty little feet, now?
Who gonna glove your hands?
Who gonna kiss your ruby red lips,
While I'm in a long-distant land?
While I'm in a long-distant land."

She said, "Papa gonna shoe my pretty little feet, now.
Sister gonna glove my hands.
Mama gonna kiss my ruby red lips,
And I'll want no man.
Honey, while you in a long-distant land."

Blackjack Davey come riding through the woods,
Singin' up a song so gay.
Well, he played and he sang, 'til the green woods rang,
He charmed the heart of a lady,
He charmed the heart of a lady.

What did he do?
He soothed her with his music,
Soothed her with his song,
Sung 'til she was nearly crazy.
She said, "Ooh, it's right, you know I'm'a sleep on the ground tonight
With my man Blackjack Davey.
With my man Blackjack, Blackjack Davey.

Blackjack Davey come riding through the woods,
Singin' up a song so gay.
Well, he played and he sang, 'til the green woods rang,
He charmed the heart of a lady,
He charmed the heart of a lady.

25. Not pipefitters specifically, but just in any kind of violent, horrible
slow way, like being beaten to death by a guy with a pipe, or a hatchet, or an axe, etc.

31. Okay, I get it
Yes, slow painful forms of death are high on my "not to do" list, too.

I like what the Japanese call "pinpin korori," which refers to being healthy and active to an advanced age until you just keel over one day. A friend of my mother's managed that. Living in a small town in Wisconsin, she talked about "going to the nursing home to play the piano for the old folks" when she herself was 90.

She died while gardening at the age of 102. The mailman found her.

Now that's the way to go!
