OK, here's another half-cent . . .

Map . . . I'm not a guitarman either. I'm a piano guy. I strum just enough guitar the make sure the Sun safely sets into the Pacific at Balboa.

So, here's my rather simplistic answer:

Pick *any* Gord song. It doesn't matter at all. What matters is the Spirit and Fun you have - not precision.

Here's my formula:

When you take out the hard parts, it's pretty easy . . .

Reduce the chords to their simplest form and have at it . . . and, presto, it's pretty easy. Even strumming w/ all thumbs (like me) I can't think of a Gord Tune I can't choose to learn.

I can play my piano in guitar-like voicings and simulate finger picking, it I choose to. But, I've yet to figure out a way to *strum* a piano.

So, strum . . . sing . . . any - and I mean *any* - of Gord's tunes that touch you. That can be your horizon.

Blessings,

The Rez
