One day comments like this won't seem like Chinese to me, LOL. Everything is just flying over my head here...I just got hold of an old best friend of mine that lives in California. He's been playing guitar for over 30 eyars and knows me very well. I'm hoping he can dumb down alot of this talk and enlighten me.

I'm glad Milk Cow Blues is in G...as I will be playing in that tuning while I'm learning.

One of my favorite Aerosmith songs for sure.

Actually you can learn a song in any key on a CBG. Say the song is in E.  Learn it on the 9th fret. Then take the patters and move them down to the open position. You just translated the song to G.

Tuned in GDg you just use one finger across all 3 strings to play the chord, don't worry about key or major or minor or 7th or such.

First thing to learn is this list of the notes

G || A || B | C || D || E | F || G

( | is one fret || is two frets )

then learn it with the 'in-betweeners'

G | G#/Ab | A | A#/Bb | B | C | C#/Db | D | D#/Eb | E | F | F#/Gb | G

then you use this for the low G string to figure out where to bar across all 3 strings for that chord

i.e. bar across the 4th fret for a B chord

I thought of those too, but I was trying to keep it a bit more tame and honky tonk for CBG. When I want to hear "Train Kept a Rollin'"...I need the wild guitars and drums, LOL.

just had a go on a 3 string tuned Dad.  sounds ok.

you will need to learn the notes on the fret board to play it though.

for example on my Dad neck

2nd string notes are:A/Ab/B so you would play open string, hammer on to 1st fret hammer to 2nd fret, and to play the E note hit the first string 2nd fret.

hardest part would be to get the strum pattern right in the verses, regardless what anyone tells you the mark of a good play is always his/her right hand not the left......

good luck bro

Sounds like I'll be in good luck then. My left elbow has been giving me issues lately...my hand is fine though. I'm a drummer and my brain has always seen music in rhythms...hopefully, this will be my asset.
