All the songs I have looked at are OK. Please give examples of the songs that are troublesome.

Have you changed anything with your computer lately, for example new PC/laptop, new Operating system or changed resolution setting?

You could try clearing your cookies as that sometimes helps get rid of gremlins in the system.

Great to see that you are not letting your debilitating illness get the upper hand and it seems as though you are getting tremendous support from 'SWAMBO' (She Who Must Always Be Obeyed) smile.

It is rather far for me to come for a jam, but I hope there are locals who can.

Hi Barry,

It means that you have 100 songs in your songbook. That is the maximum permitted (although I do know some that have more than that smile). Start a new songbook and you will have no problems putting them in there.

Nothing wrong with your voice apart from needing to loosen up a little as Phill said earlier. It gets easier the more you do it.

Great to hear you bringing your songs to life. (A song ain't a song until it is sung lol)

Both are great but for my money I prefer the slightly slower V2 version.

A friend of mine inadvertently downloaded malware and although it was relatively easy to get rid of, he still had problems with adverts popping up. I found that it had infected Internet Explorer and had to revert to the original settings to clear it. It is possible that something similar has happened to you.

Yes it can be set for alternative tunings, but I have not yet learnt enough about standard tunings to want to get into that.

The only downfall with it is that there is not a proper instruction manual with it but one can be downloaded from their website.

It is a great addition. OK it is not that cheap, but tuning and keeping in tune is an absolute doddle.

It is also fun to de-tune it just to watch the tuners turn themselves lol

Great gear Jeff. I would love to hear the Fender with the Roland electrics, I bet there are some great effects there.

A lot of them are posted between 06:00 and 08:00 GMT Phill. If you log on first thing in the morning there will probably be some sport for you lol.

The 'Add Comment' and 'Add Video' was disabled about a year or so ago when it was used as a loophole for spammers to post adverts with the songs. Until something can be done to curb the spammers it will remain disabled. The edit (improve song) function is still working.

There are 3 chord versions and 4 tabs for this song, clicking on Songbook: ADD' on the right of the page has put all 7 of them into my songbook.

Try clearing your cookies as that often clears glitches like this, close and re-open Chordie and try again. If you are still having difficulties please write again.

I am now going to remove 7 songs from my songbook smile

Strangely enough I have just changed the pins on my 70's Melody 12er. The old plastic was were not all the same so I have put a set of bone ones on. I tapered the ends first and none of the strings suffered from 'hang up' or were lifted during tuning. A new set od D'Addario lights and she as as good as new and sounding great.

When I think of Toto I think of Judy Garland's dog in 'Over The Rainbow' lol

Like you, this is the only song that I like from Toto.

Hi Cam, nice to hear from you. A great and worth-while hobby. There are some great designs amongst them.

My other hobby is photography, particularly wildlife and macro.
