Hey,
I suppose I sorta liked him. Fantastic voice! But I don't like that style of music.
I don't mind his stuff.

I am dead serious, I just did that thing with your foot and your hand.
I can run my head and pat my stomach, but can you pat your head and rub your stomach? I can.
I have just pointed out that I have too much time on my hands.
With the family gene thing, I think it's possible. Our whole family's very musical. But only one of us took it to a professional level.
Well, I it doesn't have to be a musical ability, it could be anything.

Well, I have a few. Sadly enough, they're all really cheesy and most are from cheesy songs.

Hey,
These are all terribly hilarious! I got a few:

What's the difference between a gardener and a saxophonist? - A gardener grows grass, while the saxophonist smokes it.

How do you know if a vocalist is at your door? - They can't find the key and they don't know when to come in.

What do a court case and a violinist busking have in common? - Everybody's happy when the case is closed

Why don't violists ever play hide and seek? - No one comes looking for them

What's the difference between a violin section in an orchestra and a chainsaw? - A chainsaw is more likely to blend in with the rest of the orchestra.

What does lightning have in common with a violinist? - They never strike twice in the same place.

What's the difference between a violinist and a chainsaw? - A chainsaw is easier to tune.

A bagpiper runs through a bushfire, jumps off a cliff, hits the jagged rocks at the bottom and drowns in the sea below. What happened to the bagpiper? - Who cares?!

Sorry for particularly aiming at violinists, there are just so many jokes about them! And that last one, the bagpiper can be replaced with a banjo, viola and violin.

Hey,
Um, whenever I use the print feature, there's a massive gap just before the song, and then when it gets to the "A4 page here" mark, it completely cuts off the song.
I'm running Safari 2.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.4.9.
This may be my computer however.

Hey,
Me thinks you should do something like,
"BEWARE! IT'S A MUSICIAN!"

And then on the back,
"Never mind, it's just a Chordian"
Then the chordie.com logo or URL.

I like the "Don't Fret" thing.

Mmmmm.... Automatically it'd have to be Nutella. But I don't get that anymore.
Otherwise it's hundreds & thousands or "fairy bread". tongue I'm such a child.
On a normal sandwich I like mashed potato as the spread, pepperoni and some kind of salad.

Hey,
I did something like that once. Except stupider.
You know the little lighter in your car? I was trying to figure out how to charge it (because I was bored!) and ended up half doing that. So you couldn't tell if it was hot or not. Anyway, I put my thumb on it. Felt like a right dork afterwards. Wrapped it in band-aids. It looked similar to yours, not as swollen though.
My little brother is starting bass, and he's absolutely tearing his fingers apart!
He'll be fine though.
Sorry for the long post!

Hey,
Like trippy, I only started learning at the beginning of the year, and I went to about.com and learnt a few chords on there to start me off. But, I just wanted to learn as a hobby/party trick so I didn't bother taking a course. If you want to take it seriously, I guess you'd be wanting to take a course.
Good luck!

Hey,
If you go to albinoblacksheep.com and search backmasking, there are a few clips on this subject.
Probably the most famous one is "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin (spelling?) which is there.
I find this topic interesting, but nonetheless unbelieveable.

Hey,
You know those chords that like "A/E"? How do you figure them out? My brother can get chords like these that he's never seen before, and he can figure them out on the spot.
I find it quite impressive.
Help?

Hello
I started at the beginning of the year and, not to be like vapmsfang here, I don't remember having such strumming problems... Then again, I'm a forgetful person.
With the strumming thing, I started off using my middle fingernail for the downwards strum, and my thumb fingernail for the upwards. The timing and all that I don't think I had a problem with... Maybe that's how bad I was tongue
I'm still pretty terrible.
I totally agree with JockMurray.
Free speech is wasted on you.
Pull your head in, loser. And take off caps lock. No-one likes it.
