50 ways to become a better guitarist
50 ways to become a better guitarist
2012 is just hours old, and there's no better time to make up for a festive period full of excess and over-indulgence by making a start on a new year voyage of self improvement.
We don't mean exercising more, eating less or quitting smoking - although you should probably think about doing those things too. What we're talking about is taking the kind of action that might just lead to a life of fame, fortune, excess and erm... over-indulgence, intervention and rehab. That's right - we're here with 50 nuggets of advice, all designed to hone your rusty six-string skills until your playing is sharper than a school of piranha on kitten-back.
So, without further ado, from the Guitar-obsessed brains of Guitarist magazine and a host of rock star contributors, here are 50 sure-fire ways to become a better guitarist... click onwards!
Play with other people
Music is all about communication and you'll progress in leaps and bounds if you play with other people: supplying rhythm for someone else's lead, playing 'call and response' with each other's licks, even just learning when to stop playing.
Star tip
"A lot of people can play great in their bedroom, but you'll make more progress playing with other people. You don't develop a sense of rhythm playing solo." Gary Moore
Learn songs note-for-note
Painstaking though it may be, learning a song note-for-note and from beginning to end not only increases your repertoire - it will also improve your focus, your timing, and your general appreciation of what a guitarist should (or shouldn't) play when they aren't in the spotlight.
Schools of rock
Few musicians have the luxury of studying for years, full-time, to earn a degree or diploma in popular music. So alongside their degree programmes, academic institutions have developed a range of intensive, focused courses and masterclasses which can last a weekend or a week, or be undertaken part- time - check out these UK schools to begin with…
Take some lessons
They're not just for beginners. Even if you're a naturally talented player a good teacher can always point out what you could improve upon, or help you nail a style you thought you'd never master. Visit the Registry Of Guitar Tutors website to find a respected teacher in your area.
Go on guitar weekends
If you want to combine meeting like-minded souls with a bout of pro tuition, why not invest in a weekend course? Guitarist and Guitar Techniques tutors Neville Marten and Jason Sidwell teach on the Guitar Break courses, but there are lots more to choose from.
Buy the book
Are you a great lead player who never got round to playing fingerstyle? Or have years of shredding alone in your room stunted your musical growth?
Go back to basics with a Teach Yourself Guitar book: it'll eradicate your bad habits, rebuild your foundations into something more solid and - if you know it all anyway - it'll boost your ego no end. And once you're finished, it'll make a great present for the latest budding guitar player in your life.
Think outside the box
Play licks you're already comfortable with in a different position on the fretboard: you'll expand your soloing vocabulary and improve your powers of fretboard visualisation.
OK computer!
Okay so these days, super-guitars are becoming less of a white elephant concept and your iPhone or iPad can be a great tool for music-making.
That said, your humble Mac or PC can still be a guitarist's best friend. Take a look at the range of learning software that exists out there, from chord dictionaries to scale tools to interactive HD tuition.
MusicRadar On Demand isn't a bad place to start...
Practise without the guitar
There's plenty to learn without a guitar in your hand. Identify the times in your daily routine when you could fit in half an hour of reading a musical theory book, watching a training DVD, memorising some new chord shapes or listening back to recordings of your own playing: on the bus, on the train, in the car… it all adds up.
Tackle theory one step at a time
If scales are all Greek to you, or being CAGED makes you feel claustrophobic, then start small… but make sure you start.
Star tip
"The thing to start with is diatonic harmony – chords in the major scale – and soon after you'll realise there are other things. Knowledge is good but it can temporarily screw you up if you don't realise that you don't know it all." Paul Gilbert
Play with the best musicians you can find
Star tip
"There are times when somebody like BB King or Eric Clapton, when they play they look around at me and say, 'Come on, play!' And I say, Look man, you play, I'll listen. I'm trying to learn something…" Buddy Guy
S-L-O-W down
Clarity beats scruffiness hands down (almost) every time. Take something you already know that's at the limit of your technical ability, and play it slowly - alternatively, you could record it and slow it down with a phrase trainer if you have one. Do you really know it as faultlessly as you think you do?
Star tip
"I love the one good note. More and more, my approach to music has been to slow things down a bit and get the absolute most out of every single note I possibly can." Ed Gerhard
Buy a new effects pedal
FX are a great way of refreshing your style and tone and it's cheaper than ever to get a road-worthy stompbox. Don't know where to start? Check out the 33 best modulation and filter pedals of all time, the 17 best delay and echo units and the 42 best overdrives, distortions and fuzzboxes.
Star tip
"Sometimes you can just put on an effect and come up with a whole song. The riff to When The World Was Young came about purely because I had the tremolo effect on my AC30." Jimmy Page
Sort out your practice room
The more pleasant an environment you practise in, the more time you'll spend there.
Consider equipping the room with a decent stereo and DVD player (with a remote control or programmable facility to ease learning); make sure seating is comfortable, and keep clutter to a minimum. Also, buy a music stand so you can use tab in magazines more easily. One with handy clips or a music rest for keeping the pages open is ideal. For a colourful range, visit JHS.
Look after your guitar
Have your instrument set up properly and restring it regularly, regardless of how much it's worth. A badly intonated, rusty stringed guitar is as distressing a sight as a mangled kitten - and neither is something you're going to want to pick up and cradle lovingly.
Buy a slide and a capo
There are few quicker, cheaper or more direct ways to rejuvenate your playing and experiment with your sound. If you don't own either of them already, treat yourself today.
Star tip
"I started using a capo at the second fret because of Morrissey's voice, and suddenly my Gretsch (main writing guitar) sounded better, and the tunes sounded punchier." Johnny Marr
Buy a metronome
If you want to improve your timing for soloing or rhythm guitar tightness, a metronome is simply a must-have piece of equipment.
Star tip
"I still practice my pentatonics every single day using a metronome. Good guitar playing is all about phrasing and it's important to keep that up." Zakk Wylde
Buy a phrase trainer
A phrase trainer's ability to slow down the guitar antics of your heroes while retaining their original pitch (and to use EQ to isolate guitar parts in a mix) is a godsend for the aspiring guitarist. Here's a good one.
Learn to build a solo
Playing scales up and down isn't enough to make a truly memorable solo. Experiment with time, allowing some notes to ring longer than others; repeat a sequence of notes to build a memorable lick; leave gaps in your solo so the rest of the music can keep breathing.
Think in terms of a story: the best solos (let's not deny it: Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven) often have a definite beginning, middle and end.
Identify the problems
Is your vibrato weedy? Are your hammer-ons noisy? Are your bends hitting the right notes? Have a friend listen and criticise your playing, fall out with your friend - then take their criticism onboard.
Guitarists used to playing on their own often pay scant attention to phrasing and tend to play almost continuously. Yet sophisticated phrasing is often the hallmark of an accomplished player (think Clapton, Knopfler et al). To develop yours, try playing off the beat, employ rhythmic repetition, and best of all - play with other people.
Star tip
"In many ways you should try to phrase like you'd speak. Imagine someone talking to you for 20 minutes with no pauses or spaces - it'd sound exhausting." John Etheridge
Play a different instrument
If you're in a band, swap around at the end of a session. It'll be a laugh, and you'll gain a refreshing perspective on your own instrument. Many famous guitarists are multi-instrumentalists, or came to the instrument with a grounding in another (often drums). If you're a songwriter, try swapping instruments to aid your creativity.
Star tip
"When I started to write on piano, I found that when I translated it back to the guitar it was better. Sometimes I still pick up the guitar for ideas, but I find that I end up finishing them on piano." Pat Metheny
Techniques checklist
Have a look down the list and ask yourself whether you've mastered, or at least attempted, all of these:
- Sight-reading
- Alternate picking
- String skipping
- Sweep picking
- Muting
- Percussive slapping
- Thumb picking
- Fingerpicking
- Octaves
- Arpeggios
- Chords and scale relationships
- Behind the nut bends
- Throwing shapes
Play outside of your comfort zone
Never play on autopilot: you're doing both you and your audience a disservice.
Star tip
"I saw a Guitar Craft student performing in a rough redneck bar in West Virginia. He was a Los Angeles attorney and it was so much performed in his sleep that I threw both my shoes at him consecutively." Robert Fripp
Make the most of rehearsal time
Do your hearing and your singer's voice a favour: don't prolong your band's rehearsal time unnecessarily. Pick an optimum amount of time (say two hours) and make a pact to stay focused throughout.
Book a gig
If you're in a band, give some venues a call and book some gigs. If you're a solo musician, take the plunge and attend an open-mic night. There's nothing like that date drawing ever closer to focus your mind on your music...
Use different pickups live
It seems so obvious - yet when you see bands play live, countless guitar players leave their pickup selector locked in one position all night. There's (most likely) more than one pickup on your guitar for good reason so it's well worth experimenting with different positions and combinations.
Have fun
Ask yourself why you picked up your guitar in the first place, and always try to play with the same freedom and enthusiasm.
Star tip
"Be prepared to make mistakes because that's the way you learn; that's how you find new riffs. Just jam with your friends, make mistakes, tread all over your own dick - it doesn't matter. It is a job and it is an artform, but it's also fun." Steve Lukather
See a live band
It's a no-brainer, but regularly seeing live bands and players will inspire your own playing and help support the live music industry too.
Throw away your plectrum
Think of classic rock players with great tones - Brian May, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, Mark Knopfler - and you'll often find a regular plastic plectrum is never involved. The sixpence and peso used by May and Gibbons aren't for everyone, so why not just use the flesh-on-wire approach of Beck and Knopfler? The subtlety and attack could revitalise your sound.
Star tip
"Jeff Beck doesn't use a pick and sounds great, and Stevie Ray Vaughan didn't use one much either - he just used to have it there. It's a thing to fall back on, but a lot of the time you don't need to use it at all." Gary Moore
Embrace Zen Guitar
Playing guitar isn't a competition, or a race - have a think about, and keep in mind, the principles behind why you play. See www.maui.net/ zen_gtr for inspiration from the late Phillip Toshio Sudo, and to join the thriving Zen Guitar community.
Get under the influence
Look out for interviews with your favourite players, and find out not only what gear they used, but who they were influenced by.
Star tip
"Listen to the past… the beauty of it is you can take one of those things and make it yours. With learning too much from the later players, you don't have that much opportunity to make something original." Eric Clapton
Fine tunings
You don't have to be a folk or slide player to experiment with a different tuning. DADGAD, open major and minor tunings, and even drop-D can be the missing link to opening up your creativity.
Star tip
"The trick for me was to make DADGAD my standard tuning. I felt I could have a different approach, I was more connected to what was speaking to me and I felt good at it. The day I decided to use DADGAD, I felt completely relieved." Pierre Bensusan
Use 'oblique strategies'
Devised by producer Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt, these suggestion cards aim to inspire novel ways of approaching writing and recording - hence such suggestions/commands as:
- Use 'unqualified' people
- Emphasise repetitions
- Listen to the quiet voice
- Do nothing for as long as possible
Eno occasionally brings his Oblique Strategies to U2 album sessions and it hasn't done them any harm, has it?
Realise it's never too late
Star tip
"I practise two hours a day, even Christmas Day… I have a thirst for knowledge at 47 years old, what a dickhead! What a time to wake up!" Francis Rossi
Stay fit and healthy
You'll be around to play guitar longer!
Think before you play
If, like the majority of guitarists, your idea of a typical practice session is to pick up your axe and noodle away, make a conscious decision to stop it - right now. Structure your learning and practice. You'll see the improvement straight away...
Do exercises
Athletes don't get better without training regimes so why should guitarists? If the first thing you play when picking up the guitar is always roughly the same - a favourite chord progression or lick - you may be simply repeating what you already know. Are you really getting better?
Star tip
"When you're doing loads of gigs, it's a mistake to think you're getting better. What really gets you better is when you stop and do something new." Dan Hawkins
Learn a new chord shape every day
Get yourself a chord book, and take it one chord shape at a time. Try to use new ones, even if it just means embellishing a chord with one note.
Star tip
"Books are the best place to learn about chords. If your ear is not accustomed to knowing that there's a 6th or a 9th chord or whatever, you're not gonna hear it just from listening. I was buying tons of chord books only a little while back!" John Frusciante
Gauge the situation
Choosing the right string gauge for you is vital. A lighter (.8-.38) set may add brightness to your sound but you may find that you over-bend, while a heavier set of strings can add some meat to your tone. Also, try flatwound strings if a 1950s rock 'n' roll vibe is your thang.
Experiment and consider what your favourite players used: e.g. SRV played with a .13-.58 set, while Brian May favours .8s.
Start on a random note
Next time you're playing along to a backing track, start on a random note in a solo and try to discover ways to incorporate it, and make it sound intentional.
Simplify your soloing
If you've a tendency towards flashy lead playing, then impose some limitations. Try soloing using only one box position, or using just three notes; think about repetition and rhythm in your phrasing.
Star tip
"One of my favourite solos is in Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young. It's a one-note solo and it just fits the song. You've got to decide – are you making music for people or are you doing it for yourself?" Eddie Van Halen
Close your eyes
To develop an unconscious understanding and 'mental map' of the fretboard - and to aid in live performance - practise some chord progressions and improvise some solos with your eyes closed. It's harder than you might think, but you will reap rewards in the long run...
Vocalise as you play a solo
You may think it's embarrassing, but singing the notes you're playing significantly aids phrasing and improvisation, improves your appreciation of intervals and rhythm, and also makes you sound more like Jimi Hendrix - always a good thing.
Star tip
"I don't like to play solos on records unless you can actually sing them. If you have a solo stuck in your head, then that's the right solo for a hit song." John Mayer

These simple common-sense steps are adapted from a post I published on my blog after the horrific Newtown, Conn., massacre. Our hearts ache, but we are not completely helpless or hopeless in the face of evil and the unknown. And we are not alone. This Christmas season, cherish life, keep faith and practice self-empowerment.
» Teach our kids about the acts of heroes in times of crisis. Tell them about Newtown teacher Vicki Soto's self-sacrifice and bravery. Tell them about Clackamas mall shopper Nick Meli, a concealed-carry permit-holder whose quick action may have prevented additional deaths. Tell them about Family Research Council security guard Leo Johnson, who protected workers from a crazed gunman. Tell them about the heroic men in the Aurora movie theater who gave their lives taking bullets for their loved ones. Tell them about armed Holocaust Museum security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns, who died fighting back against the museum's nutball attacker. Tell them about armed private citizen Jeanne Assam, who gunned down the New Life Church attacker in Colorado Springs and saved untold lives.
» Train our kids. When they see something troublesome or wrong, say something. Students, teachers and parents, if a young classmate exhibits bizarre or violent behavior toward himself or herself, report it right away. If it gets ignored, say it louder. Don't give up. Don't just shrug off the "weirdo" saying or doing dangerous things, and don't just hope someone else will act.
» Limit our kids' time online, and control their exposure to desensitizing cultural influences. Turn off the TV. Get them off the bloody video games. Protect them from age-inappropriate Hollywood violence. Make sure they are active and engaged with us and the world, and not pent up in a room online every waking moment.
» If you see a parent struggling with an out-of-control child, don't look the other way. If you are able to offer any kind of help (your time, resources, wisdom), do it. Don't wait.
» We still don't know the medical condition of the Newtown shooter. But we do know that social stigmas are strong. We don't need government to take immediate, individual action to break those stigmas. There are millions of children, teens and young adults suffering from very real mental illnesses. Be silent no more about your family's experiences, your struggles, your pains and your fears. Speak up.
» Prepare and protect your community. Joe Cascarelli of Westcliffe, Colo., wrote me about how he and other citizens took their children's safety into their own hands. "It was 10 years ago that our sheriff put an ad in the local paper to initiate the formation of the Sheriff's Posse. About 40 of us volunteered; today we have about 20 active Posse members. Eight years ago, the Posse command staff offered to provide the local school district with daily security patrols when the school was in session, at school athletic events and during school dances including the annual prom." Law enforcement conducted emergency drills, training to prepare for mass shootings and joint sessions with first responders.
"The Posse has continued its patrols at school events and during the school day. Posse patrols have become a visible, accepted part of our community," Cascarelli told me. "Anyone intent on harm would see armed uniformed personnel at the school daily. The Posse even has an Amber Alert at the local rodeo. When an atrocity like Columbine, Virginia Tech and most recently in Newtown, Conn., happens, all we hear is carefully crafted words of grief, heartrending interviews with parents, and TV's talking heads with knee-jerk 'solutions.' Well, our little community has implemented a local solution. Trained, armed volunteers daily protect our children. What is the matter with the rest of the country? Where are concerned parents and citizens willing to carve out some time to provide similar security?"
» Teach our kids to value and respect life by valuing and respecting them always. And in loving and valuing life, teach them also not to fear death. The Catholic hymn "Be Not Afraid" offers time-tested solace and sage advice:
If you pass through raging waters, in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amidst the burning flames, you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell and death is at your side, know that I am with you, through it all.
Be not afraid, I go before you always.
Come follow Me and I shall give you rest.

Iran's supreme leader rejects direct talks with US
'We will not be frightened by the threats,' says Khamenei, calling sanctions a gun held to his country's head
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's supreme leader Thursday strongly rejected proposals for direct talks with the United States, effectively quashing suggestions for a breakthrough one-on-one dialogue on the nuclear standoff and potentially other issues.
The statement posted on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's website echoes previous remarks opposing bilateral talks with Washington in parallel with stop-and-start nuclear negotiations with world powers, including the U.S., which are scheduled to resume later this month.
But the latest comments marked Khamenei's first reaction since the idea of direct talks received a high-profile boost earlier this week from U.S. Vice President Joe Biden during a security summit in Munich attended by Iran's foreign minister.
Khamenei's statement also could spill over into the negotiations in Kazakhstan later this month between Iran and a six-nation group comprising the permanent U.N. Security Council members plus Germany. His apparent references to U.S. sanctions — saying Washington was "holding a gun" to Iran — suggests Iranian envoys will likely stick to demands for relief from the economic pressures before considering any nuclear concessions.
The U.S. this week further tightened sanctions on the Islamic Republic, which have already cut Iran's oil revenue by 45 percent. The new measures seek to cut deeper into Iran's ability to get oil revenue. It calls on countries that buy Iranian crude — mostly Asian nations including China and India — to set the money aside and require Iran use it buy local products rather than get cash.
"They say the ball is in Iran's court. The ball is in your court," said Khamenei. "You have to be accountable and explain what it means to offer talks while simultaneously continuing pressure and threats."
American proposals for direct dialogue with Iran received a cautious welcome Sunday from Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, but with caveats that Washington needs to quiet its "threatening rhetoric" for the offer to get real consideration by Tehran's ruling clerics.
All major decisions in Iran must be cleared by Khamenei, who has previously opposed direct negotiations with Washington and has shown no inclination of changing his positions.
"Talks will not solve any problems," Khamenei said in the statement posted Thursday following a meeting with air force commanders.
"You are holding a gun against Iran saying, 'Talks or you'll fire.' The Iranian nation will not be frightened by such threats," he added in apparent reference to U.S. sanctions over Iran's nuclear efforts.
Washington has indicated in the past that it's prepared to talk directly with Iran on the nuclear issue, but so far nothing has come of it. Meanwhile, the wider talks between Iran and world powers have made little headway. Three rounds last year ended in stalemate with Tehran pushing for a roll back of Western sanctions in exchange for any key concessions on its nuclear program.
The West and allies fear that Iran's uranium enrichment labs could eventually produce weapons-grade material. The Islamic Republic claims it only seeks nuclear fuel for energy reactors and medical applications.
The U.S. and Iran broke ties after the storming of the American Embassy in Tehran in the wake of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iranian militants held 52 American hostages for 444 days.
"I am not a diplomat. I am a revolutionary and I express my words honestly," Khamenei was quoted as saying.
He noted that some factions inside Iran seek the direct U.S. talks due to their "naivety." He did not elaborate, but called for the need to challenge U.S. efforts to return "domination" over Iran — a reference to the pro-Western shah that was toppled by the Islamic Revolution.
"Talk is meaningful if it is based on goodwill, equal standing and when both sides do not want to apply tricks," said Khamenei. "Talk as a tactic, a gesture of superpower, is only a deceptive move."
Khamenei, however, has shown some flexibility in the past over contacts with Washington. Iran and the U.S. have taken part in talks regarding Iraq and Afghanistan.

Oh, I want to play!ReplyDelete
Oh my. I'll probably have to participate, too!ReplyDelete
Sarai is clever, no doubt of it. How many people who probably would not buy this pattern are going to buy it now? I'd just admire it from afar, but now I feel compelled to really have it!
- MillicentAugust 20, 2010 at 3:47 PM
Your red coat was the reason for my purchasing the Lady Grey pattern (and yummy purple wool coating with green silk lining!) a couple of weeks ago, so your sew along has come at the perfect time!ReplyDelete
May I say, I have only recently discovered your blog, I am enjoying catching up on the archived posts. They are a rich and varied source of inspiration. Thank you. You should be really proud of what you have achieved through this forum.
I second the request for recommendations on fabrics as well as where we can get a good deal online. I'm new to the online fabric shopping market (and unfortunately all we have around here is JoAnn's) so any help is appreciated!ReplyDelete
I'd love to make a white coat just like the modeled version!
Also, apart from the actual fabric for the project, I'm assuming I'll need a muslin? What type of fabric do you recommend for that?
- AnonymousAugust 21, 2010 at 1:35 AM
How wonderful. Just ordered the pattern.ReplyDelete
I have a question and am hoping someone can help me. I have ordered my pattern but now I'm trying to find fabric. I'm normally really conservative but I want this coat to be really fun so I was thinking of making it in black hi low corduroy (for the conservative part of me) with a bright Pink/fuchsia silk linking (for fun, I LOVE pinks). Anyone have suggestions of a good place to purchase this fabric?ReplyDelete
This is my first ever sew along! i ordered my pattern just now thanks to a link on your Facebook page! Not many places in the UK have this one. Cant wait to start!ReplyDelete
I've ordered a copy. Looking forward to this!ReplyDelete
Just ordered mine as well! Thanks a lot of the discount, much appreciated, it made it so that my order from Japan costs as much as if I ordered it from my real home in Canada :)ReplyDelete
My first sew-along and commercial pattern!
Yay, thanks for the discount. Going to order my pattern now. Still on the fence about fabric ... twill is more to my budget, but wool would be more useful, as I'm thinking a maroon or red color so I can wear this to my son's marching band activities (their colors are red and black, and I have a black wool coat). This may end up being my Christmas present, lol.ReplyDelete
Just bought my pattern this weekend. I also pulled my mom into this pattern sewalong!ReplyDelete

The in-kernel CIFS filesystem is generally the preferred method for mounting SMB/CIFS shares on Linux.
The in-kernel CIFS filesystem relies on a set of user-space tools. That package of tools is called cifs-utils. Although not really part of Samba proper, these tools were originally part of the Samba package. For several reasons, shipping these tools as part of Samba was problematic and it was deemed better to split them off into their own package.

Many are weary, frustrated and drained from a lengthy exhaustive journey they had no intention of taking. They have found themselves stuck fighting and recovering from one or more financial nightmares that range from identity theft to abusive debt collectors to uncaring credit reporting agencies, and from massive loan modification runarounds to unfair or fraudulent foreclosures.
Some emails are inspiring, heart-warming and thought-provoking. This is one from Pat, is one of them. In the midst of difficult times, we all need to remember that what matters is people, not things. When some in the media or those in financial industry continue to portray today's mortgage/foreclosure crises as a mere "paperwork" problem -- we must remember we're talking about people -it's people who have been wronged -not just "paperwork".
Pat's below email and attachment touched me and inspired me to share it with you. I hope this blog inspires others to do the same. Remember to be grateful for the ordinary miracles in your life. Take time today to look around you and find the many opportunities you have to scatter a few seeds...it's what you scatter that really matters.
Dear Denise:
I was having one of those days where nothing was going right. I received the below inspirational message from a friend in my mail box. After I read it I suddenly turned my thoughts around. Instead of dwelling on the problems I am facing, I was reminded to find the things I am grateful for. I listed them on a piece of paper. Denise, you were near the top of my list. I am grateful for the times you listened and shared your knowledge with me. I am grateful you were there to turn to when no one else was. I am grateful for now knowing you and hope we can meet one day. Today I am taking a minute to share my gratitude with you. I scatter my thanks your way. I wish you a day of ordinary miracles. God Bless you always.
It's What you Scatter
Author unknown
I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes... I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily appraising a basket of freshly picked green peas. I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.
"Hello Barry, how are you today?"
"H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good."
"They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?"
"Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time."
"Good. Anything I can help you with?"
"No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas."
"Would you like to take some home?' Asked Mr. Miller."
"No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with."
"Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?"
"All I got's my prize marble here."
"Is that right? Let me see it" said Miller.
"Here 'tis. She's a dandy."
"I can see that. Hmm mmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?" the store owner asked... "Not zackley but almost."
"Tell you what. Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble." Mr. Miller told the boy.
"Sure will. Thanks Mr. Miller."
Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me. With a smile she said, "There are two other boys like him in our community,
all three are in very poor circumstances. Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever. When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store."
I left the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man. A short time later I moved to Colorado, but I never forgot the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles.
Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that Idaho community and while I was there learned that Mr. Miller had died. They were having his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to accompany them. Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could.
Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very professional looking. They approached Mrs. Miller, standing composed and smiling by her husband's casket.
Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket. Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one; each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket. Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes.
Our turn came to meet Mrs. Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had told me about her husband's bartering for marbles. With her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket.
"Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you about. They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim "traded" them.
Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about color or size...they came to pay their debt."
"We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world," she confided, "but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho." With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red marbles.
The Moral:
We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.
Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles:
A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself...
An unexpected phone call from an old friend....
Green stoplights on your way to work....
The fastest line at the grocery store....
A good sing-along song on the radio...
Your keys found right where you left them.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!
Share this with the people you'll never forget. I just did.
If you don't share with anyone, it means you are in way too much of a hurry to even notice ordinary miracles when they occur.

We use this aggregated data only as explained in this Privacy Policy. We do not connect aggregated data to any name, address, or other identifying information.

Should the hotel inadvertently acquire personal information or other data from users under the age of 18, we will not knowingly provide this data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever, and any subsequent disclosure would be due to the fact the user under age 18 used the site and submitted personal information without solicitation by or permission from Hotel.
Our hotel may provide links to a number of other web sites that we believe might offer you useful information and services. However, those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as us. Therefore, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the actions of any third parties, including without limitation, any web site owners whose sites may be reached through this Site, nor can we control the activities of those web sites. We urge you to contact the relevant parties controlling these sites or accessing their on-line policies for the relevant information about their data collection practices before submitting any personal information or other sensitive data.

Continued access and use of the Site without acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy relieves Hotel from responsibility to the user.
The hotel reserves the right to change this hotel Privacy Policy at any time; notice of changes will be published on this page. Changes will always be prospective, not retroactive. If you have questions about the Hotel website policies, please contact us.

Chapter 18
The ship is finished—The births of Jacob and Joseph are mentioned—The company embarks for the promised land—The sons of Ishmael and their wives join in revelry and rebellion—Nephi is bound, and the ship is driven back by a terrible tempest—Nephi is freed, and by his prayer the storm ceases—The people arrive in the promised land. About 591–589 B.C.
1 And it came to pass that they did aworship the Lord, and did go forth with me; and we did work timbers of curious bworkmanship. And the Lord did show me from time to time after what manner I should work the timbers of the cship.
2 Now I, Nephi, did not work the timbers after the manner which was learned by men, neither did I build the ship after the manner of men; but I did build it after the manner which the Lord had shown unto me; wherefore, it was not after the manner of men.
3 And I, Nephi, did go into the mount oft, and I did apray oft unto the Lord; wherefore the Lord bshowed unto me cgreat things.
4 And it came to pass that after I had finished the ship, according to the word of the Lord, my brethren beheld that it was good, and that the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine; wherefore, they did ahumble themselves again before the Lord.
5 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord came unto my father, that we should arise and go down into the ship.
6 And it came to pass that on the morrow, after we had prepared all things, much fruits and ameat from the wilderness, and honey in abundance, and provisions according to that which the Lord had commanded us, we did go down into the ship, with all our loading and our bseeds, and whatsoever thing we had brought with us, every one according to his age; wherefore, we did all go down into the cship, with our wives and our children.
7 And now, my father had begat two sons in the wilderness; the elder was called aJacob and the younger bJoseph.
8 And it came to pass after we had all gone down into the ship, and had taken with us our provisions and things which had been commanded us, we did put forth into the asea and were driven forth before the wind towards the bpromised land.
9 And after we had been adriven forth before the wind for the space of many days, behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and also their wives began to make themselves merry, insomuch that they began to dance, and to sing, and to speak with much brudeness, yea, even that they did forget by what power they had been brought thither; yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding rudeness.
10 And I, Nephi, began to fear exceedingly lest the Lord should be angry with us, and smite us because of our iniquity, that we should be swallowed up in the depths of the sea; wherefore, I, Nephi, began to speak to them with much soberness; but behold they were aangry with me, saying: We will not that our younger brother shall be a bruler over us.
11 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel did take me and abind me with cords, and they did treat me with much harshness; nevertheless, the Lord did suffer it that he might show forth his power, unto the fulfilling of his word which he had bspoken concerning the wicked.
12 And it came to pass that after they had bound me insomuch that I could not move, the acompass, which had been prepared of the Lord, did cease to work.
13 Wherefore, they knew not whither they should steer the ship, insomuch that there arose a great astorm, yea, a great and terrible tempest, and we were bdriven back upon the waters for the space of three days; and they began to be frightened exceedingly lest they should be drowned in the sea; nevertheless they did not loose me.
14 And on the fourth day, which we had been driven back, the tempest began to be exceedingly sore.
15 And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea. And after we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to asee that the judgments of God were upon them, and that they must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities; wherefore, they came unto me, and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists, and behold they had swollen exceedingly; and also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof.
16 Nevertheless, I did look unto my God, and I did apraise him all the day long; and I did not murmur against the Lord because of mine afflictions.
17 Now my father, Lehi, had said many things unto them, and also unto the sons of aIshmael; but, behold, they did breathe out much threatenings against anyone that should speak for me; and my parents being bstricken in years, and having csuffered much grief because of their dchildren, they were brought down, yea, even upon their sick-beds.
18 Because of their grief and much sorrow, and the iniquity of my brethren, they were brought near even to be carried out of this time to meet their God; yea, their agrey hairs were about to be brought down to lie low in the dust; yea, even they were near to be cast with sorrow into a watery grave.
19 And Jacob and Joseph also, being young, having need of much nourishment, were grieved because of the afflictions of their mother; and also amy wife with her tears and prayers, and also my children, did not soften the hearts of my brethren that they would loose me.
20 And there was nothing save it were the power of God, which threatened them with destruction, could soften their ahearts; wherefore, when they saw that they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea they repented of the thing which they had done, insomuch that they loosed me.
21 And it came to pass after they had loosed me, behold, I took the compass, and it did work whither I desired it. And it came to pass that I aprayed unto the Lord; and after I had prayed the winds did cease, and the storm did cease, and there was a great calm.
22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did guide the ship, that we sailed again towards the promised land.
23 And it came to pass that after we had sailed for the space of many days we did arrive at the apromised land; and we went forth upon the land, and did pitch our tents; and we did call it the promised land.
24 And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth, and we began to plant seeds; yea, we did put all our aseeds into the earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were blessed in abundance.
25 And it came to pass that we did find upon the land of promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, that there were abeasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, and all manner of wild animals, which were for the use of men. And we did find all manner of bore, both of cgold, and of silver, and of copper.
