Having problems with message search?
Dear Bob,
I've been practicing this quite a lot over the past 2/3 weeks, too.
I favour the following :
E 0--5---0---------|-----------
B -----6---3---0-1-|0----------
G 2----------5-----|-----2-0---
D ---3-----4-------|-------3---
A -----------------|-----------
E 1----------------|3--3-------
3 3 4 0 1 4 0 1 3 3 2 4
1 1 2
No 'big stretch' required and the notes ring nicely and run
together nicely, too.
Regards,
Alan Farr

change the font back to Courier New. )
