I use my capo a lot too, even for songs I used to play open chords. I now think the guitar sounds better wit hthe capo on the 4th ( if I can get away wit hsinging a song from there)

And this has slightly went of topic a bit in a way.

I transpose a lot for singing instead of using the capo. sometimes I will tranpose and put a capo on, depending what the easiest chords are to play.
I used to transpose,use capo, or just not play a song when i saw a B chord or B7 but now I dont mind any chord.

theres nothing wrong with different and certainly nothing wrong with original.
If you can play an instrument that has been modified and it sounds good then you are on a winner

It is always good to hear or see something different getting play

Ken

or try transposing and using a capo

when i change my strings I put the old ones in the pack that the news ones came out of. I think I might have about 10 packs lying around here.

Never thought of using them all again so a few ideas.

use them somehow in my garden strimmer or attach them to where the blade are on my flymo

could be used as snares for rabbits, but I dont like to kill them anymore but still the option is there.

I could boil them and see how shiny they turn out but not to put back on.

I could give them away to someone that cannot afford the few quid for new strings.

I could tie them all together and make a big trip wire and secure my garden. No one ever comes in it but ye never know!

I could keep saving the packs until I have a few tons and sell them as scrap metal.
hmmmm, no that really is a silly idea

Jason,
your best chance of a reply to your question is to start a new thread for this question. What you have done is highjacked an already opened thread that has not got the title of " strumming patterns"

cheers

hi vxn,

I am 39 from Scotland. Been playing guitar about 19 years maybe 20 or 21. I cannot really remember when i changed from bass guitar to guitar.
I am mostly self taught after a few pointers from a friend with a few chords to get me started.
And still to this day I am learning new stuff all the time.

Ken

Well said Doug

I use spotify and find it really good.
Some artists cannot be found. Metallica are not on it but there are other bands that do really good covers of them and even sound like them a bit.

Dont think i will use Ditto though.

Welcome to chordie

wheeley,
what you have done here is highjacked a thread, a very old thread at that.
Please start a new thread for any future questions. And also there are certain sections you can post a question in that is more appropriate.

to answer you question which I am not too sure what you are asking so I will answer the two possibles.

You cannot single out songs played in dropped D if that is what you are asking

If you are asking for more Neil young then just look up Young, Neil and you will find more of his songs.

Also in chordie there is the option to transpose any songs that are in the chopro format ( the way chordie has them laid out with the blue chords above the lyrics)
look to the right hand side of any song and you will find the options.

cheers

Kajima,

My mate lived in a small flat a few years ago and just had a small 2 seater sofa which he sat on at the edge uncomfortable to play.
I leant him my tripod camping stool that eaisly folded away after use, he found it more comfortable to play on than having an aching bum and back.

Just a thought if you want to try that out, you can get them for just a few quid.

Ken
