Hey Joe - I had previously checked out your blog and thought it was fantastic. I felt it was ok from the start, but wanted to make sure with other mods. Enough have responded with their blessings that I feel it is appropriate to give you the go-ahead. I am sure that many members here (including myself) will benefit from your knowledge. (It wouldn't hurt if you occasionally put in a plug for chordie )

Glad to have you as a member and look forward to future input.

Joe - I appreciate you asking prior to linking. I'm going to post your question on the moderator forum (top secret forum that only mods can see) so that we can come to consensus. We'll answer back here in a day or 2.

One night at Club Chintz, the mindreader closes her set by reading the mind of the each of the musicians in the band.

First, she reads the mind of the lead guitarist:
"Wow, look at all the cute chicks who showed up tonight! I bet they're all here to see me. Good crowd!"

Then the drummer:
"Look at that crowd! With this many people in the house, we're going to make good money tonight!"

Then the Keyboard player:
"Yeesh, look at that crowd. None of them will ever truly appreciate all of my talent. What a bunch of losers."

Finally, the Bass player:
"E E A A A A A E E ... Pudding!"

Tony - Thanks for sharing your story and your dad's art. I (like most here I believe) thought the e-bay thing was a joke. But now that I checked out your flickr page, I am amazed by the skill and craftsmanship put into these instruments - and was totally blown away by the fact they could actually be played!

I encourage other chordians to check out the flickr link and the youtube link below. Not only did Jack make a guitar, but he's got a fiddle, mandolin, uke, banjo - amazing.

Hi TonyMan and welcome to the forum. If you notice, the vast majority of ads state besides them "Ads by Google". Chordie has little control over those ads. Google manages the content and the ads rotate on a frequent basis.

Welcome to chordie koolerthanu. Calm down, take a deep breath. What you are seeing is what some folks consider an improvement. If you prefer the old way, simply click on "all versions" on the top of the page and the multiple variations of songs will appear.

Hope that helped.

The Allmans were what went through my mind at the end of that jam too. Sounds great fellas! Detman could definately teach me a ton about lead (easy to do since I know nothing!).

For those asking for more, just click on Detmans channel - he's loaded several of them and looks like he is still loading..

There appears to be an issue on Chordie's end. The admin has been advised and I am sure will have it repaired as soon as possible.

Hi Bill, welcome to the forum. Check out this chord finder site, there are a few variations of a C7b9 shown (although none look to easy to me)

Good luck!

Well rene - you said you know the F and Fm shapes which are the 1st 2 shapes shown on the top row. Above that, you see the fret #'s that correspond to the root note / chord on the applicable fret. A "F" barre is commonly referred to as an "E" shape barre chord (the E being the open chord shape). As you move your index finger up the fretboard, the shape stays the same, but the root note / chord changes. So, with your barre on the 1st fret, the chord you are sounding is a F, on the 2nd fret, it is a F#, on the 3rd fret it is a G (this is noted on the little box on top).

The other fingerings in the first row are just variations on the chord. The 2nd box shows a Fm (133111). The same shape moved up a fret is a F#m, on the 3rd fret it is a Gm and so on.  The other fingerings follow the same pattern.

The bottom row of chords are the "A" shaped barre chords. A "B" chord is formed with the A shaped fingering along with a barre on the 2nd fret. This shape is moveable up the fret board so that the same shape on the 3rd fret is a C and on the 5th fret it is a D, etc...  The other fingerings are variations of the major chord.

These are the most common barre shapes (E and A), but all shapes are moveable (check out the CAGED system). Mortals such as me pretty much stick with the A & E barres, but if you have 12 or more fingers, you can barre a C D and G all the way up the neck in the same manner.

Here's Justin on the CAGED system

Edit to add - Don't let this blow your mind - Like roger says, even attempting barres at 4 months is commendable. There is more to music theory than I will ever know, but there are experts here on chordie to assist. If I can help further, please let me know.

It's hard to believe JP was a 20 year old postman when he wrote that tune. Great recording of a great song.
