Makayla's learning the beginning on her acoustic Guitar. Thought this would be a good reference.

Stephen Stills - 4+20




Straight from Woodstock to the Dick Cavett show.
Also notice Joni Mitchell, Jack Casady (bassist for Jefferson Airplane), and David Crosby.
Tuning: DADGBE - These tabs on chordie got me started.

And the other person brave enough to wear a poncho on film?
Of course "he" was packin a small arsenal underneath.

Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song

Beautiful song and not as hard to play as you might think.

Tunning: DGCGCD (First make sure your standard tuning is correct, then...)

1.Tune both E strings to match the D string

2. Tune the A string to match the G string

3. Tune the D and B strings to match the G on the fifth fret

Might take some tweakin.

Tab: I like this one best but chordie has several versions. ----> Link

So Goethe was a Hyppy then?

And further more...
…I have found no confession of faith to which I could ally myself without reservation. Now in my old age, however, I have learned of a sect, the Hypsistarians, who, hemmed in between heathens, Jews and Christians, declared that they would treasure, admire, and honour the best, the most perfect that might come to their knowledge, and inasmuch as it must have a close connection to the Godhead, pay it reverence. A joyous light thus beamed at me suddenly out of a dark age, for I had the feeling that all my life I had been aspiring to qualify as a Hypsistarian. That, however, is no small task, for how does one, in the limitations of one's individuality, come to know what is most excellent?

– from a letter to Sulpiz Boisserée dated 22 March 1831

Dear JC,

Until one is committed,
there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning arts of initiative (and creation)
there is one elementary truth
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas
and splendid plans.
That the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one
that would otherwise never have occurred
A whole stream of events issues from the decision
raising in one's favor all manner
of unforeseen incidents and meetings
and material assistance
which no man could have dreamt
would come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now ~ Goethe
