Did a bit of modification on the strap today (want to get used to being able to play standing up)

What's double noting?

I find that the best way I learn any instrument is strictly by ear, so I'll give the manuals a pass for a bit. Seem to be making some progress. I went through (now don't shoot me...it was handy) about thirty tunes from the Clancy Bros. Songbook, and can pretty well play all the major key ones with minimal mistakes. Not smoothe yet of course, but it'll come.

Oh another question. What's the best way to accompany your singing? Let's say I'm singing "Liverpool Lou"...do I play the melody along with the singing or imply the chords with the right hand. I'm not messing with the left hand "1-5" chords yet.

Thanks again.
