9. Always look on the bright side of life...

Actually Idle has made laugh so hard sometimes that friends think I'm going to laugh to death.

4. Hey, thanks for the chords!

Time to get out the old git-box and work this one up. Hours of fun await!

5. What's a D* ? n/t

[BrewerJohn]

6. It might be related to a "G ?"

I dunno. But it's more than enough to get started. That's half the fun for us amateur guitar bashers, figuring out what the record is really doing. Half the time even published sheet music doesn't get it all right.

8. One way to play a D*

EADGBE

X00101

It's D Diminished. You can actually get by without playing it and staying on the D sus...
