Guitar chord forum - chordie → Posts by topdown
Hi susie and welcome to the forum. I, like you, have also been solely an acoustic player, but love the sound possibilities of an electric. I don't have an electric but if I did, the first songs I would be looking for would be loud with lots of distortion - something to blow the windows out!
Happy NGD (new guitar day)!! - It is customary to post pictures on all NGD threads!! 
- If you can't post pics, at least tell us a bit more about your new axe!
Hi Steve and welcome to chordie! I sure wish I lived near you, but judging by your phone #, I don't guess it is in the USA. Can you give a better clue as to where Carlow is? There are members here from around the globe!
Hi canned goods and welcome to chordie! Ummagumma ding dong. Please spend some time exploring the resources tab as well as reading the sticky posts on top of each forum. Upon doing so, you will realize that songs cannot be added directly to chordie as chordie does not host any songs. If you have songs posted on other sites and wish them linked here on chordie, you may request such by filling out this form:
Awesome Zurf- Happy NGD! I've never played a Guild, but they have a long history of quality instruments and some folks say a Guild 12 string can't be beat. Looking for to seeing / hearing your new baby.
Here is the full page of mega chords - http://www.911tabs.com/link/?4467624 it allows change in key up or down 1 step. If you would like to see the song added to chordie, please complete this form.
Welcome to the chordie forum MusicJam - here is a printable version:
Happy New Mando Day deadstring! I also would like to toy around with one someday.
alane - that songs is located here on chordie. You can change the instrument and key to any song by using the drop down menus on the right side of the page.
Willie should be issued an "American Musical Icon" card that would allow immunity for pot possession.
Just returned from my Brother's house after a huge feast. My boys had a great time visiting my 3 nieces and I had a great time teaching / playing the guitar with the middle niece who is just beginning to learn guitar.
Toots - I left at half-time when the score was 20-6 and N.O. had dominated the the game at that point. Although I missed it, I am happy to see that the 'Boys made a game out of it.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Between the feasting and driving, I believe it's gonna be an early night for me.
Every time I've had the opportunity to jam with fellow chordians have been a blast and so many folks have expressed a "wish I could be there" in this thread - I'm thinking I should make this an annual event so to allow others to plan and make travel arrangements for the future. The fall is beautiful here in North Carolina, mild weather and the leaves in the mountains are typically peaking color around the 1st of November. The blue Ridge Parkway makes for a wonderful cruise this time of year and is only an hour or so drive from my home.
So, I'm thinking lets call this past jam the First Annual Chordilina Jam and plan on next year's jam happening the first weekend of November. So mark down the weekend of 11/5/11 and make your travel plans. I'd love to see this jam get bigger and better year after year!
Do my eyes decieved me or is that a 12er hanging on the wall?
Roger
Yea Rog - That's an Alvarez 12 string I picked up from Pix a couple years ago. It's great to know a guy who goes through bunches of guitars!
OH Man that hurts - I can't stand my voice. But I had a smile the whole time and that's what counts.
Toots didn't even mention the loss of his sister (and John's wife) while here. I am very pleased that they made the long trip and hopefully the few hours of fun took their minds away from their sorrow at least for a little while. Toots - You and John are welcome anytime. Hosting was easy - the sacrifice was made by those who drove so many hours to be here.
I'm also looking forward to more of these get together's. Hopefully the timing of Zurf's spring time jam will work out for me to join in. Thanks for the vid Toots - Next time, someone else is singing!
Hi Lpeterson - Here's a link to Elton John's version which I believe is the same song. Hope it helps!
Blackbird, Emerald, Rainsong, Composite Acoustics - All make carbon fiber / graphite guitars that sound as good or better than a wood guitar. Perfect for the campfire and can be used as a back up paddle without fear of damage. Don't be a wood snob, give carbon a try.
No trees were harmed by this message.
I had a blast. Although Cam was missed, Pix, Mrs. Pix, Tubatooter and John (a friend of Toots) showed up for the jam. Toots showed up shortly after the completion of a fantastic football game between my alma mater (NC State) and Mrs. Pix team, UNC. It was a fantastic game, going down to the last minute. I can only hope that Mrs. Pix wasn't too put off by all my yelling and rubbing it in - she seemed like a good sport and I expect no less from her come basketball season.
Pix brought along a couple of identical Yairi's, one with a sound port and one without. It truly was amazing to compare the 2 and view his handi-work up close. The sound port makes a HUGE difference to the player's ear - a fantastic modification I would be happy to have on any acoustic. Pix - next time bring your tools - I'd like to have ports added to both my wood acoustics!
We pretty much went around a circle, each playing a tune from their songbook, but I believe TubaT stole the show, after all - he has decades of experience in the music biz, where Pix and I are both relative beginners. It was wonderful to hear his stories and play along with his vast song book, including so many comedic type songs. What fun. After several beers, he brought out the Tuba and that was great also.
Here are a couple of photo's from the jam. Sorry for the quality apparently the camera was seeing blurry (like I was) instead of using it's auto-focus. Toots also made a video of the 3 of us playing Jerry Mungo's "In The Summertime" that I am dreading to see / hear. I can only hope that the Tuba drowned out most of my vocals.
Thanks Toney - It was an exciting game yesterday and I was happy to watch the ending along with Mrs. Guitarpix who is a huge UNC fan.
No so fast on the rematch though - We still have to beat Maryland next week and have not had much success recently playing at their place. Add to that we are once again ranked and every time that has happened this year, we went out and stunk it up the next game. It seems rankings are the kiss of death to this team.
Wow tops looks like the garage has had an expansion since my last visit
Looking forward to it as well! Not positive about the wife yet.... She may or may not be accompanying me. Our plans have shifted slightly due to unforeseen news this week... I'll be heading that way for sure but it's 50/50 right now for the wife.
She said to tell you "State still sucks"... She just wanted to be sure you knew
Tell Mrs. Pix I will not take any trash talking over the internet - she'll have to dish it face to face. Seriously, I've been looking forward to meeting her, hope she can make it.
But if she can't .. Tell her "Cheaters never win".
OK - I've changed strings, wiped down and tuned up my 3 guitars (including the 12er - we all know what a pain that is). A couple of cases of beer in the fridge should be a good start. Got the sound system set up in garage (pic below).
Toots is bringing the groupies. Pix - I'm counting on your wife for the Jello Shots

I know toots has the music / words to that one, and probably the tuba accompaniment. I am very much looking forward to Saturday!
Gabby - Haven't heard from you - you are still welcome to make it if you can!
May your discomfort be brief and your nurses beautiful.
I digz the horns - Nice
Jerry - Could you please post or email me a more specific location (more specific than UK) so that I may update the map.
Thanks.
Step back in time... This is cool
On February 11, 1964 — just two days after their historic appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show — The Beatles made history again with their first-ever live U.S. concert at the Washington Coliseum. In front of more than 7000 fans, the group performed hit after hit, including “I Saw Her Standing There,†“She Loves You,†and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.â€
To celebrate the release of all 13 of The Beatles’ studio albums on iTunes, we present that pivotal February 11 performance, streamed here in its entirety.
