I put a small amount of graphite in my nut slots every time I change strings in the belief that prevention is better than cure.

My strings last 6 weeks!!!! I could never get them to last 6 months, so I suggest you try a new set before anything more expensive.

Re: MY SQL ERROR (6 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Dino, I am no Pc expert and I do not know what you are using. I use I.E. so this is the one I know. As I understand it most browsers remember what was on a page the last time you visited as it is quicker than reading and displaying the current page, so you can have a remembered error page showing after the error has been cleared. With I.E. it is easy to clear this. Next to the address box is a symbol 
this is the refresh button and will force the browser to look again at what is there now. I assume other browsers have something similar and this may be why you are seeing an error message.

Please e-mail Per (Chordie's founder) at admin@chordie.com and explain your difficulty to him.
I wonder if there may be a gremlin in the system preventing you from publishing it and, if so, he is the wizard to sort it out.

Re: stinken B chord (11 replies, posted in Music theory)
Here is a short video of two of my young students two weeks after being shown the dreaded 'B' chord. OK it is the shortened version of the chord but is quite sufficient for most songs and as you can see they are only playing one beat of the chord and have to get it clean.

Take your time and work on it daily, you will be able to get there.

Re: not a stringed insturment (6 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Years ago one appeared in my family (too long ago to remember where it came from) and I did try to play it, I was taking piano lessons at the time but found it very difficult.
Here in Portugal thay are quite popular and most Portuguese music shops will have some in. Although the usual configuration is buttons (for bass) in left hand, and piano keys (for melody) in right, some do have buttons for both.

Don't classical guitars have wider necks that would be harder to finger chords? Or am I on the wrong train of thought?
A 3/4 size classical guitar has the same size neck as an acoustic/electric and the slightly smaller body size makes it easier for a youngster to handle. This is what we normally sell to young beginners and offer to buy the guitar back in exchange against an electric or acoustic when they have mastered the basics and are ready for an upgrade.
