Oh! Ha!
Alright, make a grand barre chord in the Em shape - do it up on the 7th fret and forget the bottom three strings. You don't need those for a minute. Just play the top three strings (7, 10, 10, x, x, x) Then move it to the 5th. Then move it to the 3rd. Now back to the 5th. Now start over on the 7th fret and now count, 1, 2, (move) 1, 2, 3 (move to 3rd) (1, 2). and a 1. 2, 3. Keep doing that. When you get bored, make a bitchin' solo on the starting on the 7th fret and working your way up the minor pentatonic.
There you go. You just played Jimi Hendrix' version of All Along the Watchtower. That's pretty much all you need to know for that one.
Ha! Lol, that's great advice. (I should prob bring an electric home so I don't have to worry about playing quietly in the evenings.) I'm no virtuoso like you, but I did spend a decade or so on the road and picked up a couple tips along the way. ;)

I still can't wait to hear you. I'm pretty excited! Not kidding, either.
Also, I'm not a virtuoso, just well practiced. I wish I could write better compositions. I'm good at replicating, not at creating. I am pretty bland when it comes to creating from my own ideas. I can lay a melody over anything, but it is all just going to be bits of replication that I know from the practicing. That's really all it is.
