Aloha

 Aloha!  How did you do?  Have a seat and let's talk a little guitar THEORY. It's true you don't need to touch your guitar with your left hand to play a "chord."  Just strum the open strings and you will have a CHORD.  But remember, sooner or later you will want to play a song. This means you must play a chord that has FUNCTION. You want your chord to painlessly lead you to another chord, and then another until you have your song, This is why we want to start with Fmaj7, the chord the guitar was built to play.
Song for the day:       

Genre:  eWorld Poetry


    It's So Quiet Up There

I looked for the answer, it never came
Then silently swore, who's to blame
I felt the wind, and heard a bouncing balloon
Got here late,but I didn't leave soon

I tried think but then, what about?
That's when the hush of traffic fell, deafening out
A roar of silence rose but, my heart didn't care
I wished I was on a vast beach somewhere

These flowers and toys and color balloons
I  just know they're gonna start, talkin real soon and
Give me the reason for the man in the moon,
Little tot smiles, and little hearts in bloom

Somebody please, somebody somewhere
Feel a little for me and show that you care
Give me an answer, I'll wait right here
It's just that it's just so quiet up there

"chords that has FUNCTION"...I like that. 'So happens I have a guitar in the closet, I lost the spark way back, but I need to come back to it somehow. I heard it's a good therapy :)
