I had no idea what dissonant meant, so I looked it up

Main Entry: dis·so·nant
Pronunciation: \-nənt\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English dissonaunte, from Latin dissonant-, dissonans, present participle of dissonare to be discordant, from dis- + sonare to sound — more at sound
Date: 15th century

1 : marked by dissonance : discordant
2 : incongruous
3 : harmonically unresolved

Lots of what I play is harmonically unresolved, I'll even step it up to say to say my playing is largely musically unresolved, so I believe I am an expert in dissonance. A dissonant extraordinaire, if you will. And incongruousicty runs in the family - I was born with that attribute! I gotta see if I can create a custom title. big_smile

Hi lindalouden and welcome to chordie!

It is quite easy to copy or move songs between songbooks. From your main songbook page, simply click the little box besides the songs you want to move or copy. At the bottom of your songbook you have the options:

Copy selected songs to:          
Move selected songs to:

Simply choose which songbook you want to move or copy, select that book from the dropdown menu, click the move or copy button. That's all there is to it!

Who knows, maybe you will be the next hot on-line guitar teacher. "Learn Barre Chords Fast by The Revolutionary Astronomikal Method".

Thanks for the heads up Cam. I heard about this happening on the radio several months ago. I don't usually watch shows like this, but being so close to home, I gotta admit that was touching.

Hi bobbeanbags - I see you are a long time member, but since this is your 1st post, welcome to the forum!

Look in the dark blue bar under the forum tab. Click "Search" to search the forum.

I just experimented with deleting a songbook. Once you have selected the songbook you want deleted, first delete all songs from that book. At the bottom of the page choose select all, then click delete. At that point chordie will recognize that the songbook is empty and there is a button to delete the songbook.

I spent a good 2 years experimenting with different strings on my CA. I used to keep every package, writing the date installed, initial impressions, date replaced and why replaced (i.e. snapped string, dead sound, etc.). After trying many, many brands I have settled on John Pearse 80/20's for both my CA and my 12 string. They are just the best sounding string to me and seem to last as long as any coated string I have ever tried.

If you are experimenting, I suggest giving John Pearse strings a shot.

^ hey naoslager - The first step in posting pictures is that they must be uploaded to a file hosting site (I use flickr - free & easy) there are others, photobucket is one. After you have the picture uploaded to that site, simply post a message here with the tags [img]"the picture URL link here"[/img]

If this is all too much of a hassle - email me the photo(s) and I'll be happy to host / post it for ya!

Hey Zurf - Do you have a gmail account so you can update the map yourself? If not, post or email your town info and I'll take care of it.

Tony - Quite honestly, the only adjustments I am comfortable performing myself are a bit of sanding the saddle and maybe tweaking the truss rod (but only 1/8 turn at a time). I encourage you to peruse this site, especially the link regarding lowering the saddle, here:

There is a fellow chordie member "Guitarpix" who is also from Down East NC - I am sure if you could meet with him, he could advise at a quick glance and adjustments that could / should be made.

Nothing to add, just want to welcome Tony and Sttickman to the forum.

Like others have said, hang in there and practice, practice..... If you can get past the finger pain and develop some callouses, you are already ahead of the vast majority of beginner guitarists that give up because of the finger pain.

Zurf - Maybe you want to consider your personal presentation? A long haired hippy feller like yourself walks into my store, I may want to keep eye on him. lol

bensonp - Please check under the profile menu - I do not believe you need to enter your password to change your profile. I also believe you can change your password under the same menu without entering the old one. (At least I can, but settings may be different for a moderator). If this doesn't work, email Per at admin@chordie.com with your desired info and I am sure he will fix you up.

Happy NGD naolslager! It is customary to post pictures of all new guitar purchases!!! smile

Pix - I hate to do it, but I'm gonna have to bail on Sunday. sad I've got a job in Spartanburg, SC that starts Monday, so I am going to head down Sunday afternoon to check out the location, find a place to stay, etc.

Saturday works for me if you change your arrangements?

Glad to be of service Roger, and to know that it's helping some budding musical students makes it that much better. I honestly don't deserve any credit for the music or translation, I just know a few tricks in internet searches.

Hi Tom and welcome to chordie!

There is no reason to download the songs to excel or word in order to print. You can print them directly from chordie. On the song page, look on the right hand side, about half way down. See the little print icon? Click on that and it will bring you to a print preview type screen. There you can choose where to locate the chord boxes, or to turn them off altogether. Hit the print button again, and there you go!
