Dog-gone it! Finally flamed by Garg, after all these months...and I can't understand a word of it!! PLEASE, insult me in recognizable syntax. Honest, I won't crumble like a used Oreo cookie or solicit sympathy from the masses. After 20 years on the road ya learn to eat hecklers for breakfast!

One good way to ease those jam session jitters, if you're not really comfortable with your complete chord repertoire yet is to know how to use the capo to put songs in G or C where you've got a fighting chance to catch the minors before they shoot on by. I have to admit I'm a huge fan of the "Nashville number system". It takes about a week to really learn but can make so many things easier for the rest of your musical life. I've explained it in detail on another thread several months ago, but I'm probably too stupid to find it quickly....and I'm not sure how many folks on Mudcat are into that kind of technical stuff anymore. Used to be quite a few.
