Jim's in love!!! (and I cannot blame him)
Great looking guitar, I was expecting to have to wait a while longer to see her and get your opinion. I am sure you will have many wonderful hours together.

Re: Chords in brackets (1 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi ???, welcome to the forum,
I, for one, cannot really understand your question. Please explain in more detail what and where you are wanting to edit chords in brackets if the following does not help.
As it stands it appears you are looking at Chopro to see chords in brackets. Instead of going there go to the very bottom of the page and, in green, on the right it says ' Correct song'. Click on this to edit a song.

Ken, you are too modest, you are a true troubadour, a wandering minstrel who brightens the day of anyone who hears you.
Sounds like a great weekend.

Re: Fingering Exercises for Guitar (24 replies, posted in Music theory)
I was taught that when first learning scales one keeps below the 5th fret, the first finger plays the 1st fret, the second finger the second fret, third for third fret and pinky for 4th fret and to always use an open string where possible.
Once scales are mastered down there you can move to the more difficult to remember scales up the fretboard.

Re: Fingering Exercises for Guitar (24 replies, posted in Music theory)
Bax, I think you have 'top to bottom' and '1 to 6' reversed.
The top string (number one string) is always the highest pitched note i.e 'e'
1 e top
2 B
3 G
4 D
5 A
6 E bottom
I can only make sense of what you have written if I reverse the numbers.
Using your notation I would write the G scale like so:
6-3-3/ 5-0-0/ 5-2-2/ 5-4-4/ 4-0-0/ 4-2-2/ 4-4-4/ 3-0-0/
and the next octave
3-0-0/ 3-2-2/ 2-0-0/ 2-1-1/ 2-3-3/ 1-0-0/ 1-2-2/ 1-3-3/

Re: Last May's NGD (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It is played exactly the same Jim, but you have double strings. The e and B are tuned the same but the G, D, A and E have the second string an octave higher. This tends to give it a fuller sound than a normal 6 string guitar.
This picture I found on the Internet shows it:
Next time you are in a guitar store, pick one up and try it.

Topic: Last May's NGD (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I do not think I posted a picture of this Vintage 12er that I bought in May when I was last in the UK. I happened to accidentally walk into a music shop when I was with my daughter in Leyland Lancs and found this used baby, with a hard case, for £149:00... How could I refuse it??
Since then my brother has taken it to his local luthier, who has set her up for me and made a fantastic job of it. The action is incredibly low and it is so easy to play. I am dead chuffed!!

I love the sound of an autoharp. I did own one until I had burglars who cleaned me out, hopefully I will get one again.
Welcome Heidi, nice to meet you too.

Re: Some Free Jokes For On-Stage Patter (27 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My current favourite is about the woman who was arrested for bludgeoning her husband to death with his guitar collection.
At her appearance in court, the judge asked "First offender?"
To which she replied "No! First a Gibson and then a Fender"
Roger
P.S. As Amy now knows (I ate some at her home) crisp sandwiched are a British delicacy. They are even on the Aer Lingus flight menu. Great with tomato ketchup on too.
