wonderful i love it^^i wish you all best for new year 2010

thank you 5*****5

[CRAIGARRR]

Well the C add 9 wont work.. Has to be the "real" C.. Still workin on those C to G progression muscles! I have not given up.. Is too sweet of a song to do that! :o)

[Rising1Elaine]

Thank you for the update! I was wondering how you were coming along! Patience and love of self, my friend! U will do this, I know!

@CRAIGARRR awe ye need is, A , Am, C, D ,G.

[CRAIGARRR]

Wow! Look at those fingers move! You did a great job Elaine! Can't wait to try this song.Will a C add 9 chord work going from G to C for those of us not as advanced?

[CRAIGARRR]

If so, how would you play the bass note before strumming the C add 9 chord?The bass note would be the lowest root of the chord right? So just pluck the A string while holding down the C add 9 shape (lowest C note) before strumming the C add 9 Chord?

[Rising1Elaine]

Honestly, I can't answer that question Craig. You just keep coming up with those hard for me to answer q's!

:-)E

[CRAIGARRR]

LOL well I want to play it the real way with the "real" C but that G to C is just a tough progression right now and want to play it now.. Is nice to see the strumming. That helps tremendously! I will get it by the weekend I am sure! Thanks again Elaine!

[Rising1Elaine]

You're welcome! BTW I played this at open mic last night and it was well received! :-)

You can do this, and you can play C to G and you can do it well. I know you can! You didn't give up on me, and I know you won't give up on yourself!

Peace!
