Topic: D'Addario NYXL Strings (4 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
D'Addario have produced a new string, the NYXL range and a company we deal with has sent us an e-mail with the following links showing the concept, the opinion of some players, how the strings are made and how they are tested. They are all short videos which I found interesting and I also found myself wanting to try some out for myself.

I hate to tell you Scott but Bang, Bang is a Cher song. Nancy Sinatra, like so many others, have covered it. Quite like this version though.

Re: What The (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Most of the sections have two or more Moderators so that we can have one from each side of the pond to give better coverage. It is impossible to give 24 hour coverage but we do the best we can and only a few get more than a couple of hours freedom before they are banned.
In case you don't know any Moderator can impose a ban and alter/delete a spam link in a signature, but only the Moderators of the section where the garbage is posted, can remove it.
As Russ stated there have been a lot lately, it seems to come in surges but then will quieten down for a while.
Unfortunately the brainless scumbags have not realised that they do not stay long on Chordie so they keep coming back.
Rest assured gtx we get just as annoyed with the morons tipping their rubbish on our site.

Re: What The (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I just switched on and banned the scumbags. They are all in Guitars and Accessories so it will need Joe or Phill to remove them.
Please put a report in (tag at bottom right of post) as soon as you see spam. I check my e-mails first and your reports automatically generate an e-mail to us. I would have come on Chordie sooner of I have not been checking correspondence from my 4 e-mail addressed.

Re: Tuning (13 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I do not think any of my tuners have that facility. I was pleased to notice that I am not the only person that applies pressure to the string between the nut and tuning peg then raising the pitch .

Thanks for the birthday wishes but they are premature. I gave them out early to clear space and, as they have a two week break, it gives them time to have fun with them.

A great looking body, how about another picture of the front? Please.

Topic: NGD x 5, but not for me (20 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Being the eccentric Englishman I decided to do something different for my impending birthday. I have 5 students who have been with me for 2 years or more who all have acoustic guitars so I decided to get them another guitar for my birthday.
My longest standing student, Filipa, has always liked my Fender electro/acoustic and has had it on loan since I got my New Tanglewood. It is now hers along with it's rather battered hard case, mind you she is in Germany for 2 weeks and will not know till she returns.
For the others I bought 4 used, black electric guitars, had the bodies repainted and rebuilt them with new strings, strap and gig bag.
AnaTeresa, who is a very good singer and rhythm player, has a Maison with twin Humbuckers.
Raquel, who is the heavy rocker amongst them, has a Dean Baby ML.
Daniela, who is shaping up to be an excellent lead guitarist, has a Aria Pro.
And finally my little princess Lia, who is just nine and is starting to play some lead parts, has an Encore with a single Humbucker. It is slightly smaller than a full size guitar and so suits her smaller frame.
As three of them came for their lesson today, and they have just started a two week holiday for Easter, I have handed them out today and delivered the fourth one today.
I had some very excited students, making lots of noise, both vocally and musically, today .

Re: account questions (9 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi David,
You cannot change your user name, but I can. The drawback is that you could possible lose access to any songbooks that you have.
I do not know of anyway that you can delete your account, apart from not using it and allowing to be redundant, but again I can do so for you.
Please write to me privately if you would like me to do either of these for you.

Yes you can have a conference call on Skype but, because of the time delay in transmission, only one person can play at a time, However if you turn your mic off it is possible to play along with someone else .

Great to have you back with us and lucky that you had Deadstring's e-mail address to put out a distress call for you. Lesson to be learnt here, always make sure you have a fellow Member's contact details in case of emergency.
Glad to hear you are on the mend health wise too.
