strings named and numbered and my first chord
2007-11-22 23:14:00
The 1st string produces an e note. This is the thinnest string on the guitar. Sometimes called the high e. The name of the string is usually shown in lowercase to distinguish it from the low E.The 2nd string produces a B note.The 3rd string produces a G note.The 4th string produces a D note.The 5th string produces an A note.The 6th string produces an E note. This is the thickest string on the guitar. Sometimes this string is called the low E since it produces the lowest noteBelow is the G major chord. You have to play all six strings and make sure that all the notes are ringing out.You place your second finger on the 6th string / 3rd fret. Then place your first finger on the 5th string / second fret and your third finger on the first string / 3rd fret.When it says the 6th string, that refers to the one on the top, closest to your head when your holding the guitar, the strngs are numbered 1 through 6 starting with the bottom string (high E) and going up to the top thickest string (lo...

blogI love Payperpost .

And i figured it would be nice to have a little extra dough rolling in too.PayPerPost has a huge list of opportunities available all the time , most of which are pretty easy to qualify for. PayPerPost isn?t choosy about the blogs they accept,and complying with PPP's terms of service is extremely easy .You are not required to write positive reviews of anything you feel doesn?t deserve it. All you need to do is post your honest opinion of whatever opportunity you decide toaccept. The money I make from payperpost will probably be used to fund some of my other online interests, such as playing online poker or online rummy and also , lately ive been spending some time on ...

In days of old when knights were bold and dragons roamed the land The princess eeked when she had peeked to see dragon by her stand. The knight on steed rode in with speed to save the beauty fair He?d use his sword and his reward they became a happy pair. Now today we have no dragons for our mighty knights to slay But I?ve heard it said some grab a pig to make his lady?s day. Though he wears no steely armor and he does not use a sword Our knight protects his lady and her love his just reward. He?s there to help a stranger, friends and family he keeps near Our knight defends his country and the freedoms he holds dear. So grab your tankard everyone and raise it high in cheer As I dub him now Sir Skinski everyday we?re glad you?re here. ®Margie Fortune

Do you recall when first you played, was every call just right? Did you dazzle everyone because you were so bright? Was every wager flawless,did everytime you win? Did you never foolishly say "heck I'll go all-in? Not one of us is perfect; (though it's something we all yearn) Mistakes and questions are not dumb, that is how we learn. As we grow in understanding, and get better at the game Be patient with the "newbies" instead of calling names.

Be a winner

Blackjack, the game that got it's start in France as vingt et un or 21. It was not popular when first played in the US so to help the game along if a player had the ace of spades and either of the black jacks then the payout was a 10:1 bonus thus the name Blackjack.You can be a winner in the game of blackjack by reading and learning from successful players like Edward O Thorp, Max Rubin, and Jerry L Patterson, just to name a few.The first thing to learn is the basic strategy. There are tables available suggesting when to hit or when to stand;also when it would be advantageous to double down and to split.Card counting gives the advantage of knowing how many aces and tens are available which helps the player decide their betting levels. Be warned that card counting is legal in the US but, casino owners have the right and will ban any player they catch counting.Arnld Snyder along with many others have written about shuffle tracking. That is when a player follows a clump of cards at a ...

The Butt e rflyShe?s been confined for far too long her silent screams unheardThis same silence said much more than any spoken word.She wrapped each hurt around her-it made her feel secureShe felt that none could see her-of this she was so sure.To gain freedom was not easy she climbed up from despairEach color that is on her wings a courage badge to wear.She now knows she is worthy of freedom and self loveTo have the peace she?s always yearned-to soar the skies above.Her natural beauty hidden within this tight cocoonShe begins her struggle to emerge we know it will be soon.Timidly she spreads her wings until it feels just rightWhen first she soars high on her own it?s such an awesome sight.Gliding in the clouds above so happy to be freeWith sureness she can say the words ?I?ll choose what?s right for me?.She shows her natural beauty now with a certain prideNo longer bound by circumstance no longer must she hide.©Marg (Saulnier ) Fortune Nov.24, 2000

Girls at Play The girls stroll to the table so confident and cool"No balls are needed for this game-cause we're not playing pool."Each girl sits down more self assured and readies for the dealThe sisterhood of players wish "good luck"- their wish is real.The cards are dealt, the bidding?s done; it?s a male who loses bigThe language gets quite colourful, as he sits and flips his wig.Maybe our "pro wannabe" had played the whole hand wrongBut girls don't try to tell him that, he'll stay angry far too long.Instead they?re gracious win or lose and show it makes no senseYou miss the fun of playing cards when a loss gets you so tense.@Margie Fortune August 31 2005
