can you play chords and stuff? this looks pretty accurate to me https://chordify.net/chords/julie-doiron-songs/dreamed-i-was-chords

[brittle wing]

Not really, no. But I'll be happy to learn

But thank you!

[jade spruce]

thats fine!! being willing to learn is a good attitude to have

so what do you usually play? can you read chord charts?

[brittle wing]

I can, yeah. I don't remember any the chords though and it takes me quite a bit to get used to playing them. I wanna try making the chords a little more interesting than just strumming in a few of the parts

I usually play whatever song I find good on my classical guitar

Think my last song was part of the madness if you're wondering about that part? Or maybe a few leith ross? I think you have a basic idea now

[jade spruce]

so you can do different fingerpicking patterns on the chords and that's def something where you have more freedom? whilst still keeping the same basic chord structure

you can also improvise a bit with "passing notes" within the key (it's in E major, which is fairly common for classical)

it's probably good to at least learn and remember a few basic chords, you can play these chords one of two ways

1. you can play without capo in the original key, but you'll need to play a few of them as bar chords (B and C#m)

2. you can play either 2 half-steps down without capo or in the original key with a capo on the 2nd fret, where there's no capo

for option 1, you'll need to learn E, A and Am. B is a bar'd A on fret 2, and C#m is a bar'd Am on fret 4

for option 2, it'd be D, G, A and Bm7

lmk if you need help playing any of these chords or finding fingerpicking patterns

Okay okay, thank you. I'll keep all of this in mind

Will def let you know‼️
