Im no repair luthier, but in my humble opinion,, your screwed.  It may play great and sound great which is cool,, but as far as holding any value as a Martin,,, its gone.  sad

If this was E-bay, contact them.  Pawn shop go and try to get a lower payment, music store,, FLAME THEM EVERY WHERE YOU CAN cause thats BS.  but you need to find a good lutheier to fix it as good as possible.,, not that shade tree crap. mad

I have to give a big +1 to Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.  I just dig the whole tone of that one.  Its a long one to play, but man its captivating.  NOt too many more I can play, but Man I love to listen to a few of them.  Dont know if it really qualifys but I think one of forgotten ones is WILD HORSES By THE STONES (maybe ill try to learn it again). great vid too btw ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhVLiHPUOIM )

Let me disagree just a bit and then we can talk about it if you want to.

If she is playing power chords (strings 4-6 only) then they are neither major nor minor, so it would be:
D#5 - C5 - G#5 - A#5.

If she plays the 3rd string with her middle finger one fret above the barre, it's a major (I think she does that sometimes).  If she leaves her middle finger off and plays it with her index barred, it's a minor.  In short, it only becomes major or minor if she plays the 3rd string.

I don't see a Maj7 in there at all.

If somebody wanted to play the full chords barred, this progression should be D#-Cm-G#-A#.  It's a standard I - vi - IV - V (aka "doo wop") progression, or a transposed G - Em - C - D.

No arguement on my part, thanks for the revision.    I just used the Jguitar chord finder and wrote down what it said by watching the vid.  And punched the fromations as good as I could tell she was oplaying.
Yes the Cmaj made my head scratch also and I put it in the chord finder 2x and said OK. --

Hi smile

Can someone please tell me what chords she uses in this video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1NUwOwWaI

Thanks!

Based around the E shaped power chord.  I cannot tell if she is Baring her index finger across the whole fret or just the the notes on the 6th string, you will have to expierment with it. 


The song is pretty simple. an easy 4 chord up down the neck.

Starting on the 11th fret is a D#Maj

Slide down to the 8th for a CMaj7 (same chord shape just lift finger2)
down to the 4th G#Minor
and up to 6 = A#Minor
Then it just repeats it's self.  The chorus is just a change in strum pattern.

for future ref you can use the same tool I have used

As BGD has said, the heavier the strings the lower the tuning. Drop down a half step and see how that helps.  (You might get the urge to go a whole step and then drop C LOLLOLOLOL) smile
