"Classical guitar? Well, it's better than a strum, that's for sure. Do you keep your pinky nail long?"

No, I need all four fingers and the thumb (yes I use them all for some pieces) trimmed the same length -and neatly, as a nail catching on a string at the wrong moment simply throws the entire rhythem (sp?) of the piece.

'American Pie' is a favourite as well.

You mean the movie or as in all-American apple pie?

Oh, and to clarify a thought re "I'm too cool for words," if a guy really is cool, that's fine, but if he tries too hard, it shows. And it's a sign of a lack of confidence.
