I am not sure so I have dropped a line to Per, the site owner, asking him to look into this for you.

The news shows extensive flooding, an electricity sub station shorting out, severe snow falls and reports of 18 deaths with possible more to be reported.

Hope all Chordians and their families are OK.

I hope you guys across the pond are all battened down, with plenty of supplies (beer) in and keep safe when Sandy hits you.

Take care, Roger

I have it in A, E and in G if any of these are of any help to you.

If I had my way all guitars would be built this way, with the nut simply as a spacer to keep the strings apart and a zero fret to control the height of the strings. This way the action would always be low at the nut end and the saddle height would control the action further up the fretboard.

By the way Z, my 12er is female but she appreciates the sentiment of your comment smile.

Bad news Russ, you are lucky to only have to fight for $10.00.

I am guessing that yours, unlike my 70s Melody 12er, does not have a zero fret as shown in the photo. Because of this the strings on mine are extremely low and it is as easy to play as either of my two electric guitars, but a decent set up should make yours easier much to play.

I hope she gives you plenty of enjoyment.

The example song has two beats on each chord and, as I am pretty sure that you guys in the States use the word measure for that we Brits call a bar, there are two chords per measure (bar) in this song ie:

G G D D ¦ Em Em C C ¦ G G D D ¦ C C G G ¦ G G D D¦

Play one strum for each chord shown as the song will sound OK.

As Zurf states there is no standard and you need to know the song to play from this or from tabs, only a full music score gives you the full information to play the song but unfortunately not everyone can read one.

I assumed that if you were set up as a 'lefty' in resources that the chart would be left handed but I have just found that this is not so.

I will drop a line to Per (the site owner) and ask him if it is possible. It would be handy for the other instrument players if the chart would show their instrument chords also.

I do not remember ever having that function. I change the key before I save it to my Songbook and that works.

Just to clarify. Mentioning a programme like Dropbox is fine, it is no different to saying that Fender guitars are the best in the world. (My opinion smile).

However posting a link to a profit making commerical site is a different kettle of fish and will earn at least a warning and possibly a ban.

Meatwise, I have only eaten chicken for the last 20 years (I dislike the taste and texture of all other meat) however my diet has suffered badly the past few weeks since a doctor banned me from eating fish after a slight allergic reaction.

Anyway, well done Joe. I am pleased the diet is working for you.

As an aside and for interest. In the UK it was Danny Williams that had the big with Moon River and his is still my favourite version.

Thank you Patti for reporting this bug. I have informed the site owner, Per, and he will look at it as soon as he can. (I have noticed that neither does the 'add video' work).
