Thanks Roger. I have tried that but it doesnt improve things, still end up in everyone elses sonbook but my own. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing, because i'm coming across some great songs I hadn't thought of before!!!
Anyway - I have emailed Admin (again) to let Per know. Cheers

Re: I was told by another it didn't matter` (20 replies, posted in Acoustic)
The strum is the "heartbeat" of the song; you can imitate the original, upbeat or downbeat it, or even change it to a style that more suits your voice or music style preference, but it is as essential to the integrity of a song played acoustically, as correct chords/changes and melody. If a song is strummed poorly, it it immediately ruins it. Done well, it enhances it.

Re: Quotes: Where did they come from. Why you use them. (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS[1] (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970) was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, and social critic (Wkikpedia)
I read this quote as a teenager in the early 70's and the Vietnam era and it stayed with me as a very stark truth about the futility and waste of war, as well as the little play on the meanings of left and right.

Hope he's a Chordie fan, then he can on board and share his frustrations with us, i know how he feels sometimes when that much searched for sound remains elusive, but I havn't quite got to the guitar smashing phase. There may be others in my household who feel i should have long ago!!

Re: Remembering Chords (31 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I have no trouble remembering chords, and can usually fit chords to songs I havent played before, but i am absolutely useless at remembering lyrics of songs, so i always need to print them off to play a song - thanks Chordie! The ideal situation is for someone else to sing that knows all the words, and I will play along with them.

Topic: Happy Birthday Robbie Burns! 253 today! (0 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Yet again we celebrate the Auld Bard's birthday with whisky and song.
There's nane that's blest of human kind,
But the cheerful and the gay, man,
Fal, la, la, &c.
Here's a bottle and an honest friend!
What wad ye wish for mair, man?
Wha kens, before his life may end,
What his share may be o' care, man?
Then catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man:
Believe me, happiness is shy,
And comes not aye when sought, man.

Indeed...!
