I had a problem with this in my old Fender. The problem was that the saddle had become loose and the string tension was pulling it forward and knocking out the intonation. What I did was slide a couple of pieces of paper down each side of the saddle to tighten it up and stop it moving.

Next time you restring check if your saddle it OK.

However, if your saddle is Ok you may have to get into adjusting truss rods which I've never done.

I know just how annoying this is, so good luck with it. I may just add that I finally gave in and bought a new guitar. 

Looks like I just answered my own question there.

Doh!

So after all this can someone explain why we in Europe are paying the same figures in £'s as those in the USA are in $'s. Even with my extremely limited knowledge of exchange rates this surely doesn't add up. I know I said it was the way of the world but I'd still like an explaination. I'm sure there must be a good reason for it.

By the way, Ken, I had a nice meal in the Tully Inn on Saturday night (3 main courses, 3 drinks - £30 since we're going into these things). After a day climbing The Cobbler. What a view we Never got. Stinker of a day. And then Sunday - glorious! Typical.

Thanks guys. As yet I have nothing on paper but have a few ideas starting to form. I just keep thinking back to those bloody awful things everyone writes when they are an annoying teenager who thinks they are oh so deep, misunderstood and know everything. That was the last time I tried my hand at this and would like to forget about them. Aaahgghhhhhh! I recently found a book of such rantings and was mortified at how bad they were and how much of an a***whole I was (maybe still am).

Things can only get better.

I'll shorlty be going away for 5 days.

Don't know what I'll do! My wife may kill me.

Now that just sets off my paranoia.

Bllockos!

Hey Rockerchick!

I for one am glad you made this post. I have a 10 year old daughter with a lot of the things you are experiencing just around the corner. I can only hope i have the understanding to deal with it properly. Parents, I think, tend to look on teenage problems as something their children inflict on THEM. I pray that when the time comes I can remember my own teenage years and offer her help, support and love. No-one should feel that they are an accident or that they are a burden to anyone.

My wife used to say that she was an accident. But if she had not "happened" then neither would her brother. And I would never have met her, and we would not now be blessed with the most beautiful, happy, loving daughter.

Love and life,

It's just putting a little bit more emphasis on the D in the chord rather than the B. So you get a slightly brighter sounding G chord. To my ear any way. It won't fit better all the time but it's good to be aware that it is an option.
