Thanks, David. Will give this a hard look. Also, just wondering what note I'm playing wit the I IV and V chords in open g tuning? I have found someone who will make the notations for me....maybe I WILL learn to play more than three songs.

Tons of songs are effectively I, IV, V. Alot of blues is played in E, A and B chords , I, IV, V. For other songs you will see A, D, E or C, G A or G, C, D - all I, IV, V combinations. If you look on the page I posted, down at the lower right, I have the bar chords right up the neck for the first octave. So you can see how to play any of those I, IV, V cominations. Most of all, have fun. The I, IV, V stands for the primary key and then the fourth and fifth notes above it.
