"Don't wanna ride no shootin' star. Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar." Emmylou Harris, "Rhythm Guitar" from "The Ballad of Sally Rose"
Hello Greybeard, I'm a little puzzled as I have always played this in open G. Is this the correct version or an alernative.
By the way I'm off to check out your sliding website now, Byeee
I love rock & roll so put another dime in the juke-box baby !
Open A and G are basically the same for Open A you just Capo on the 2nd fret, all positions are then relative to the capo. Hope that made sense
Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.
