Actually testing that last point, the pinky on the second fret of the G sounds fine, I'll continue to bash through, see if I can get it to sound anything like. If worst comes to worst, I'll probabbly just get bored and start finger plucking the main melody...

Or, maybe I just want to hear him sing, because he's a good singer. As long as he doesn't lose his voice like ALWAYS.

Thanks for putting it up. Just a thought that floated through my brain while I was listening to Dave strum: there's this great community around making stuff with JoCo's songs. I'd love to see a bunch of single-instrument tracks that we could throw into GarageBand (etc.) and have a go at some renditions. We could bring in Dave's guitar, Molly or Kristen's uke, vocals and drums from others, and end up with a fan-based supergroup. That's my attempt at creativity for the evening. It's all I've got for now. That’s awesome, Dave. Thanks for putting it up.

I hope that I can show you all the inner most secrets of the guitar, or at least all the JoCo songs you want to know. I'll probably have a poll again on the forum for the song I'm going to do after Future Soon. Thanks again for the support and such. See you on the internet! Thanks everyone!
