Re: Open G tuning (6 replies, posted in About Chordie)
I presume Jimpias wants to just bar a chord at what ever position it occurs on the neck using open G .I would suggest use open E instead as the bar chords come up in the normal position this way eg E open, F fret 1, G fret 3. A fret 5, B fret 7 and so on If you look at video of Ritchie Havens he appears to use this method check the Woodstock video for example

Doug for the last four years the camp site has been free for the festival or you can get a room in one of the many small hotels for around 30 euros a night if you pre book , food at the festival is also cheap and good souvlaki pita with fries about 2-50 ,street pasta about same and the raki flows like water.

Elpida is Australian Greek we have played together for a number of years she has a range of about 3 octaves and can sing almost any style .the local choir rate her as a star the maestro George papadakis who organises and trains them has worked on Broadway musicals in the past.I wish she had more time for what we do but we have to share her and get her to sing when she can for us.

Re: Matala beach festival again (27 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Ok I'll check him out dino it's good to find some different material to suit my voice.the thing with tribute bands is you've got to be as good as the act you pretend to be and sadly these guys couldn't do the voices ,I'm probably the only English guy who doesn't like the Beatles but l can appreciate a good cover .the Santana tribute that followed us on Friday were fantastic so it shows that it can be done.maybe I'm just being to picky about tribute acts and shouldn't criticize as there is obviously a demand for this stuff

Re: Matala beach festival again (27 replies, posted in My local band and me)
May be the last time this festival happens sadly as the newly elected council are very anti festival which is pretty stupid as last year it generated six million euros income for the area.We are going to make the most of it we open the proceedings at five o'clock which is pretty good and we get an hour to play.I think the reason for the new council's feelings is the money generated by the event doesn't go into the council coffers, a bit narrow minded as the area needs tourism to survive and the sixty thousand that came last year is a hell of a lot by any standard.Any way enough ranting let's play some rock n roll.
