Lmao

Aye, and I get plenty miles to the gallon on it.

I may just be easily pleased, never having played a "real quality" instrument.

By the way, Ken (sorry for mementarily going off topic), The Alarm are playing 3 nights at King Tuts in November.

There is a lot of this on Chordie. I myself played YEARS ago and stopped (wife, family, etc). Started again about 2 1/2 years ago and love it more now than then. I took a while for the old fingers to loosen up and get the chord shapes back again, and the sore fingers was a sweet reminder of my teens.

All the very best,

How's this?

You'll notice that some are shown like F#/Gb. This means next up from F is F# but is also 1 down from G which is Gb. So F# and Gb are the same thing.

But notice that 1 semi-tone (1 fret) up from B is not B# but C and the same with E to F (i.e. not E# but F).

Nice, guys. I got handed a card and cd on the way out the door. About 2 hours after waking and making everyone's breakfast. My wife and daughter only remembered when my wife said we need to go visit your dad today..... oops.... happy fathers day.

They love me really.

Simply put:

If you want to move the whole thing up 3 semi-tones just put your capo on the 3rd fret and play the same chords as shown without using the transpose tool.

Also, if you find a song where the chords look too dificult to play for your present ability, transpose it DOWN until you have chords you are comfortable with and then put the capo on the corresponding fret. E.g. If you transpose down 3 semi-tones then place the capo on 3rd fret and it will still be in the original key.

I'm not an Administ (if that's even a word) but I'm with you on this one. Brilliant idea.

Without wanting to put a dampner on your visit to backalleymusic, I've found that some big stores tend to neglect the guitars on show. They can be dusty, extremely out of tune and very badly set up (if at all).

I left Glasgow's largest guitar shop disgusted at the state the instruments on show were in.

I guess what I'm saying is be aware that this can happen. A lot of large stores are not interested until they see the cash. Mind you, £400 is quite a wad so they may be nice to you.

Also, if you have any niggly wee doubts about any guitar don't let them talk you into it. Be totally satisfied with your choice. And if you're not, go elsewhere.

Sorry for the negative vibe and all the best when you get down to it. I love guitar shopping!

I'd say James McCormick

The man knocks them out at a phenomenal rate.

I found that if my capo is too tight it has a great effect on the chords as you move the capo up the neck. Try loosening it off. The further up the neck you go you'll need to slacken it just a tad. I try not to have the capo clamped right down onto the fretboard, but just enough pressure to have all strings ringing true. Works for me but i may just have a bad capo.
