I am with Toots on this, however it is not a job for the inexperienced (by the way it is usually easier to remove the nut and then remove material from the bottom of it. You do not have to worry about getting one groove too deep or too wide for the strings this way). So I would suggest you take it to a luthier and have him work on the nut for you.

I so love guitars like my 70's 12er that has a zero fret for the strings to run across; you always have the lowest action possible at the nut, but sadly I do not know of any modern guitars have them.

When this happened to my 70's Melody 12er:

I repaired it with this adhesive (advertised to be stronger than the wood itself and my own tests concur) with no problems:

I also used the same to repair this badly damages Ibenez 6er:

Both guitars are fine after 3 years regular use.

Thanks guys. I did not video the show buy plenty of parents did so I will try and get my hands on some.

Great to see Chordians getting together. Oh to win the lottery and be able to join you . Dream on!!

KLJ, you sent me a message "The auto scroll changes to stop, but does not scroll." but this is best kept public in case anyone else has the same problem. There have been no other complaints about the auto-scroll so it is almost certainly a problem on your PC and not with Chordie.

Have you tried jet60's suggestion? Clearing out the cookies can solve a myriad for niggles (I have other good reports about CCleaner, so that might be worth a try).

If this fails then you will have to contact Per, the site owner, who understands the working of Chordie better than anyone. You will have to let him know your operating system (Win Vista, 7, 8 etc) your browser (I.E. 8, 9, Firefox etc) and give him exact details of what is happening ('not working' is not a good enough description to fix any problem on anything). You can contact Per at: admin@chordie.com.

Please keep us posted of developments in this thread.

That seems an awfully complicated way of doing it.

From the properties you can highlight and copy the address, paste it onto your Chordie message, put [img]at the front and[/img] at the end. Job done.

Welcome back Rick, sorry about your mum, she sound like she was a wonderful lady.

The 6 string bass has been round for a whole. Fender have made one since 1961 and when Jet Harris left the Shadows to go with Tony Meehan he played one for his bass instrumentals. Diamonds being the best known.

Hi Charles,

I have just looked at the song in question and made the alterations you have noted, but you should have been able to do this yourself.

Any alterations are made in the box at the top of the page where the unformatted version is. I usually click the 'Update preview' button first to check that it is OK and then press the 'Save' button to make the changes on the ChoPro formatted song that we normally see.

Hi Chemk,

If your screen does not look like the following picture then the problem is at your end, possibly your screen resolution is too high, causing overlap. Press 'ctrl' and '-' until it is OK.
