A song without singing is not a song. It is an instrumental lol

Well done, keep working at it. It does get easier as time goes by, as long as you continue to practice.

It could mean no 3rd i.e. A5 (Ano3 or A no 3rd) or E5 (Eno3 or E no 3rd). Check this chart I found:

Hope this helps.

With the space removed it will appear:

Maryanon


[G]Mary had a little lamb, she [C]also had a bear:



I have [G]often seen her little lamb, but [D]never seen her [G]bear.


And as you can see you have your chord grids to play with.

There are many chords that are there but not shown, I do not know the reason why, but I have a work around that I use:

1. Open a new topic
2. Give it a subject (say Chord but it can be anything)
3. Paste the text file that follows this as the Message,
4. Change the chords in the [] to the ones you want
5. Click on 'Preview'
6. You can then left click on the chord grids for variation and copy and paste.
7. Close the topic WITHOUT submitting it.

Here is the message but to prevent it formatting properly I have entered a space in the last line within the square brackets. i.e. '/ song' should be '/song'. For it to work you have to remove the space.

[song]
{t:Mary}
{st:anon}
[G]Mary had a little lamb, she [C]also had a bear:
I have [G]often seen her little lamb, but [D]never seen her [G]bear.
[/ song]

Hi Melahide and welcome to Chordie,

I have to point out to you that posting the lyrics of a song is an infringement of the copyright laws and one of the section Moderators will have to remove them. We might not agree with it but we have to adhere to it to prevent litigation and keep Chordie open.

I am sure that someone will be able to help you, even without the lyrics smile.

I am a big Fender fan and I am not averse to a fibreglass body but, and it is a big but, with a only 3" deep body I would want to play it unplugged before I forked out my money. I have no doubt that it will play well and, plugged in, will sound great but with the very shallow body I think that the acoustic sound will not be so good. I hope that I am wrong smile.

What are acrylic guitar strings? I have never heard of them, neither can I find anything on Google.

If you actually mean nylon strings that are normally on a classical guitar, the slots on the nut will not be wide enough to take them. Widening the slots will ruin the nut if you want to put back steels. So remove and keep the original nut and buy a spare nut you can alter to use with the wider strings.

Hi there Orange and welccome to the forum,

Now I know that most of the guys and gals here are wonderful, awsome people but as far as I know, none of them are mind readers. smile

There is no song or artiste that I can find called duprees, it always help to give both the full name of the song and the artiste. The closest I can find is The Grateful Dead song, Dupree's Diamond Blues, is this what you are looking for? http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.x … _blues.txt

Paul, I have just had a chat with Joáo. If you want to go to his gig at Netherfield on the 18th and introduce yourself to him he will talk to you about it and he has done work in Spain too. Or message him via FaceBook.

Irritating to see a Video Lesson posted (for a long time) on the main page, click on it, and be told it is a "Private Video".  Why then is Chordie linked to it ???

Hi Ken,

As there are in excess of 120 videos listed, and not in alphabetical order, please give the song title and number that you are having problems with.

Roger

It is not affecting me. Try clearing your cookies; that often sorts out some of the little gremins that visit us. If you are still having a problem please send all your information including details of your operating system and web browser to admin@chordie.com

Albufeira and Quarteira are probably the most popular holiday destinations. Many people (well the ones with oodles of cash) go to places like Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago that have golf courses and are more expensive, but these places are more like large holiday resorts. They are not too far away that you cannot get gigs at the restaurents and bars though. If you get chance, talk to Joaó about it as he regularly had gigs in this part of the Algarve.

Here are 4 of my Portuguese students performing the Flashdance theme tune: http://youtu.be/rwgKpMA0CX8

Sisters; Filipa (lead vocal and rhythm guitar) and Rita (keyboard and backing vocals) with Aleshandra (lead guitar and backing vocals) and Bruno (bass).

I have unashamedly used part of the original film clip and finished with photos of the band.

I like very much (although I am also unashamedly biased in their favour lol) but I hope you like it too.

Joaó is a great guy, the first Portuguese that I got to know real well. We share a passion for music we did a few gigs together and even with the distance between us I consider him to to be one of my most trusted friends. Do go and see him and make sure that you introduce yourself to him.

Roger

By the way Portugal, well the Algarve really, relies so much on tourism that language is not a problem, the majority speak English. I decided to move here sooner than Spain because a/ the people are very friendlier than the Spanish and b/ English is generally spoken here.

Now if you were coming to the Algarve I could perhaps help more but I have little knowledge of Spain.

The only suggestion I can think of is to make a CD of a few numbers that you can hand out to the bar owners so they know what you do. I went with my friend Joaó to do this before he moved to the UK and he had some success with it.

there's an even simpler way of avoiding this problem in the future

solution a, do not let your wife in the same room as your guitars

solution b, get rid of your clumsy wife, she may be trying to dispose of your guitars! cant have that

solution c, buy a wireless system for your guitar (much cheaper than replacing the wife) smile

Thanks to Jeff from me too. It was a fun evening, sorry I had to bow out early but it was late here smile.
