Just noticed you are finger picking this one, so I went on your page and watched a few and see you alternate between fingerpicking and flatpicking. How do you choose which technique you use?

Re: been noticing something (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I haven't noticed that running on either Chrome via Mac or on iOS. So far as I have ever noticed the site uses Google for ad placements, so maybe big G has gone and done something wonky or you have accidentally installed some adware, brother!

Re: Ain't no sunshine by the Temptations (2 replies, posted in Song requests)
Is this the same as bill withers version? Can you link to a YouTube of the version you're trying to play?
I just listened to one version. It's a minor seven chord with a walking bass line. In A that would be
Am7
Am7/E
Am7/G

Re: Please Recommend A String Winder? (19 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Any old cheap string winder works. If you are breaking the same string repeatedly check for a burr on the but and saddle. Also might need to take er easy on the strumming or go up a gauge.

Was just browsing some tunes on YT and thought my friends would enjoy this. This guitar player is good to the point of it being unfair to the rest of us.

I'm gonna throw in my 2 cents here, even though I'm not posting anything because I can't stand to hear myself sing. I would love to hear BGD (and others) attempt a cover of a Dave Matthews tune. "Under the Table and Dreaming" and "Crash" wee both released in the 90s and I've just got a feeling that BGD could do justice to some of those tunes. Myself - not only can't I sing them, but Dave plays some weird chords that require more fingers than I have. Since I am not participating, feel free to ignore my suggestion!
I'll send you a recording of crash. It's in my set list. The other one is way too high for my voice.
Now do I get to pick one for you to sing?

Re: APRIL 2017 FSOTM - THE WEIGHT - JACK AND DIANE (52 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Ok here's the cheat on Jack and Diane. Those chords inversions in the key of a are super unwieldy. So I cheated and moved it down to g using normal g d c chord shapes. Makes the song much easier. Don't tell anyone though.

We are fortunate to have "met" Dino, and just as fortunate that Chordie brings the Dinos of the world together.

I find music very instinctive.
I find having a few drinks then trying to squirm an ad-libbed bass line in a Leonard Cohen song in some mode or another using a root of C and capo 4 and a whole bunch of chords that don't seem like they ought to be there next to impossible rather than instinctive. You know, as a random example and definitely not something I was actually doing at midnight when I had to get up early for Easter the next day.
Sounds like you have a glass is half full attitude about it though.
Also you didn't catch my little tease on the "you thought I was smart" comment.

I did a copy of The Weight tonight complete with excessive use of reverb and a harmonica, but Soundcloud appears to be down this evening. I can't connect. So you will all have to live another day without hearing my cauterwauling and random hootification.
Soundcloud came back up. Here you go.

Love the re-arrangement of the chords and the chill feel. I'm in the process of re-arranging this one too, albeit in a slightly different way. Great work.
Only one suggestion: Zurf terminology should include fedorafication and hat-erwauling.
