When my kids get too big to go out door to door, I'll have a spooky porch.  I don't know why I love halloween so much, but I do.  I get dressed up with the kids and take them out.  My hubby and I used to get dressed up and go out to th bars for the costume parties... but that was when we only had my son and he was generally at his father's house (my ex) on the night we went out.  Now we have kids here all the time.  I did win $100 prize one year for best costume at the little bar down the road... maybe that's why I like halloween so much!  LOL!

szmeretzky, it's all about the law.  It is illegal to post lyrics and such to copyright material.  Just like it's illegal to copy information that you find in an encyclopedia without quoting the source.  Chordie is a search engine that finds the material elsewhere, quotes it, and changes the format (chodpro) to look all pretty for you to print out and transpose.  Other sites have the information, Chordie indexes it and puts it in a nice easy to find location ... search by song name, by artist name, save it for later, etc.  How do those other sites do it then if it's illegal?  I don't know for sure... maybe they have a deal with the copyright owners who knows... maybe a lot of them are getting shut down on a regular basis after legal battles.  Take a look at some of the other sites and you'll find that the way Chordie indexes the songs, makes them savable, transpose, etc... and you'll probably find like many of us have that Chordie's indexing system is just better than the way other sites are arragnged. 

So, yes if you want to post a copyright song you do have to do that elsewhere.  If you have an original song, you can post that on the forums.  If you want to find chords to songs, save them, print them, etc... then Chordie is a great place for that.  Honestly, my husband was getting the info from other sites that actually host the info... then I got into guitar and found Chordie.  He saw my printouts and was jealous.  They just look better, and I came across better versions of songs far easier by using this site than he did by using google!

I hope that explains it a bit better for you.  Chordie isn't suggesting that other sites are better and you should go elsewhere... just that this is an indexing site, a search engine of chords and tab.  Go to other sites to post copyright material, then come back here to find it in an organized, printable, saveable fashion... and visit the forums to talk to nice people about it all!

Welcome to the forum George... and also to you basuoct282!  This is a great forum to get help, share, and make some guitar friends!  Enjoy!

So... it's recorded and uploaded on youtube.  I didn't use anything special to record with, so it's there with all my little mistakes and fresh over laryngitis!  I'd love to hear your comments however, I know musical people are capable of hearing past the mess to the music!  Thanks!!

Very nice Phil!  Thank you very much for sharing.

This is one that we sang in youth group a lot when I was going to a non-denominational church... there's not too much to it, but nice and fairly "easy" chords (after a few classes):  http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/?url= … ranspose=0

Here's how it sounds:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RGcb7alSk0

I haven't taken any lessons, and obviously haven't taught any ... except in trying to help my son out with my little knowledge.  I will say however, I think group lessons sound like they'd be "fun to take" ... so I guess it'll be good if you can do something to keep it fun?  Varied ages would add to that "fun" factor, although it'd probably also make teaching more difficult.  Good luck... I look forward to hearing more about this journey!

Good deal guys.  Do you know what the download version can do?  Is it a 7 day, 30 day trial etc?  Full featured, or just a look until you purchase?  Thanks!

Old Doll... I did get some printer ink... and had no problem printing this.  So, it must have something to do with your printer settings or something on your end.  Maybe try it at a friend's house and see if it works alright on their computer? 

Soooo... I finally "allowed" my husband to see the words and music to this and I played it for him last night (yep, tested on you my friends first).  My voice is still horrid, but I could kind of hum it out and he really liked it a lot.  We fiddled with my ideas of strumming and picking and determined that the EXACT sound I want would have to be done with more than one instrument.  But, I'm working on a little picking along with strumming.  Either way, I'll be playing around with audacity a little bit and see if I can get what I was looking for by myself. 

It was really nice to be able to share this with him, and we had a 6 year break thru as well.  It's always bothered me something fierce that I didn't know the color of her eyes... I thought they were closed from the get go... but apparently they were not and he knew all along (but we just don't talk too much about the bad details of the day she was born)... and now I know... 6 years of torment, I had a little girl with brown eyes like her daddy!  The other kids have hazel and blue.  It's a HUGE calm, and THIS SONG has provided that for me!  CHORDIE has provided the outlet for me to put the song up to find out this info.  THANK YOU ALL!

Awwe!  Thanks! 

Bensonp... good to hear about the F!  I was wondering if it was going to bite me in the hiney one of these days!

Glad to hear that things worked out well for you in the end.  WHEW!  Interesting thread that you brought up there.  Personally, I gave up drinking and driving a long time ago.  Thank GOD I never harmed anyone or myself.   I actually can see a bar from my window (VERY small town but we do have a bar and a corner store) so, I'm close enough to walk home.  The police stopped my husband and I a couple weeks ago on our walk home, but they were thrilled to find that we were walking after drinking and smiled and waved!  If we're going to a friend's party, we bring the tent, a DD, or don't go!  Here in NY State... we have had a cell phone law for a while.  The police tho (interestingly enough) are allowed to talk on cell phones while driving.  They're working on incorporating texting into the cell phone ban as well.  AND... our school busses do have seat belts as well as 4 child seats for the kids under 4 that go to pre-kindergarten.  NY loves laws... I guess it helps to keep us all safer in the end.  The newest law we have now is that ALL children under 7 (or so many pounds) MUST be in a child booster seat... our school busses do NOT have booster seats for all the kids under 7 however!  LOL!  Can you imagine?  TAX HIKE!  Yeah, there are reasons NY State has very high taxes and it's not ALL to support NYC!
