Okay, I might be totally out to lunch but the one song sounds very much like

Cough Syrup by Young the Giant.

Again I might be totally out of my mind here....LOL

<t>Thanks for the explanation. Sorry it took so long for me to respond...work got in the way this week.<br/> <br/> That at makes a lot of sense as to why you don't want to hear the A. <br/> <br/> Yeah, it is my absolute favorite S&G song as well.<br/> <br/> Thanks again everyone.<br/> <br/> kevi...

Yeah, I didn't know that about the Open A either. Why is it okay on the D7 but not the D? Just curious? It does sound better that way though......

Duh, it just hit me as I saw Jay's response. Neil covered this in his Free lesson for Free Bird on playing the D/F# with the thumb wrap. I didn't even think of it until I saw these posts.

Excuse my ignorance as I am still trying to learn but these confused me because doesn't the D and D7 chords already have F# in them? Am I missing something or having a major brain ...

<t>Yeah, I would love to be sponsored from one of these companies as well....but that will never happen. :laugh: <br/> <br/> I was just curious as to how much sponsorship happens and if there are companies ( ie Martin) that really don't need to have people promote their guitars anymore because they ...

<t>Okay so recently when I went to purchase my new guitar I went on all the websites to do research and each website listed "performers" that play their guitars. I noticed that Takamine seemed to have the most listed, next came Taylor and then Martin. Do you think this is because the performers actu...

<t>Hi, and welcome to the site. I am fairly new to this site as well and started off doing the free lessons and then I purchased some and now I am a Target Member. I hadn't played in a while either and have improved from this site more in 2 month than I had in the previous 15 or so years and that in...
