hi Swafford and welcome to the chordie forum

I am afraid I do not know any site especially for the piano that is like chordie but I do know of one site that gives you a little sheet music and you can hear how it goes.
It is folk music and traditional scottish music only though. Might not be to your taste but might help.

thanks Jerome.

I should really look more into this even if it means getting lessons.
It would improve my playing and my understanding of chords and the entire fretboard.
Just have to find time.


cheers

HiLeiser

I will be corrected if I am wrong here , which makes this site great! just when i think I know everything I need to know,someone comes along and teaches me more,lol

anyway, Cb9 to me would just be B9 as C flat is B is it not? this is where I am tihnking someone might come along and tell me no.

Here is a link to variations to the chord B9.

Try that if none of them sound correct then either I am talking gumff or the person that submitted that chord is wrong. Or he/she has made that chord up themselves.

Lieven,
I watched a series on TV with a guy called Phil Cunningham, a scottish musician, he mainly plays the accordian but can play much more. ( he plays along with Aly Bain, the famous scots fiddler)
So anyway, he had a program that ran for 6 or 7 weeks, he was touring Scotland looking at all different types of music from Folk to Rock, from pop to churchy stuff too, everything that has reflected and inspired the people of Scotland, or at least quite a few of them.
In his last episode he ventured out of Scotland to America and Canada.
He was talking a lot about bluegrass and country folk, folk, country etc.
Bluegrass was born when the Banjo was introduced to the fiddle,guitar, accordian. The scots and irish took over the accordians and fiddles, not too sure where they guitar came from to join bluegrass and I am sure I am right in saying Phil said the Banjo was introduced to america from Egypt or somewhere like that.
The banjo was never played along with the fiddle/mandolin etc until it started in America.
As far as I could make out from what a lot of the famous ( I am pressuming they were) bluegrass players were saying, bluegrass was a combined mixture of instruments and cultures to get the results of bluegrass. They just sat and jammed away with acoustic intruments.

It also said on the program that bluegrass is coming back in a big way after some film soundtrack has been outselling other albums. The film wit hGeorge Cluney in it. I have not seen it yet so I have no idea what the soundtrack is like but i think it must be good.

this has just reminded me, I really need to change mine. HAd them on for about 3 or 4 months now and I play a lot.
But I normally change them every couple of months, but monthly would make the guitar sound better, but not always neccessary to change them that often.

cheers Jet

I have been trying G.C,G and throwing a D in somewhere but it is ending up sounding like John Prines whistle and fish, which is a good wee tune anyway, so i might rip off his melody for this. Dunno about the chorus yet though

best thing to do is print them all out.
If you can use your works printer and ink because if yer like me you will have tons to print out lol

I have not heard anything about chordie being forced to close. I am sure if it were true Per the webmaster would know about it and let us know if there was a risk.
But if other places close down it would mean chordie's list of songs would shorten.

chill, dont worry, print them while you have them just in case.

and ye spelt rythum wrong in the " about" section.

I have sent you an email with a link for chordie for your site if you dont mind.

James wrote a great wee song and shared it with us on the songwritting section about Uma.

Made me think how many other songs have been written about famous people?

Elton John ......  candle in the wind..... about Marylin Munroe
MAdness  .......  my name is Michael Caine.... about Michael caine funnily enough


can anyone think of any others?
