The buzzing should go away as you get more comfortable with the fingerings.

Right, my dad just told me to tighten up the strings.

Hey Mac fan..if you already know A, D and E, then you can play along to "Don't Stop" but chuck in a B there too after Linds sings "yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone" Happy strumming

Thanks, do u have the tabs for it? Don't worry if u haven't got them.

Why don't you check out the Silver Springs website (the link for it is at the Nicksfix site under "links") There they have loads of musical tabs and chords to FM music and you can of course print it all out and keep it!!

On the Silver Springs website, they only have the chords, not the tabs.

I think there are a few songs that are tabbed out on Silver Springs but not many, but hey, playing chords is fun too!! Oh, and here on the Penguin, there's a few tabs as well, check them out (if you haven't already.. under the lyric interpretations page aren't they?)

I would be able to just use the tabs, but I don't know how to play B.
How is B played?

Playing a B chord is horrible coz it means streching your fingers over a lot (not great if youv'e not got long ones, like me!) It might be an idea to get a chord/ tab book and just practise like mad, you can only get better!

Is it harder than playing F#?
I've got a program for the pc, which has teh chords on it.

Here's an easier way to approach Don't Stop:

Put a capo on the second fret.

Play the E as a D. Play the A as a G. Play the B as an A. Play the D as a C.

Remember what I said about learning G, C and D.

The only drawback to playing this way is that the E sounds too high-pitched.

What if I don't have a capo?

Whew Carnevaca!! Now you got me confused! Macfan you can always do what I do and skip the chord you find too hard to play!Better still, with A, D and E you can play along to "2nd hand news" which is mostly just those three. Setecas chordfinder looked good to me......

You can get one from any guitar store. You can get a simple Jim Dunlop "strap/lock" capo for about £3...

Now, I can almost play Don't Stop. I just need to be a bit quicker and I can't play B yet.
