Group Hug!!!!

All the very best of wishes to everyone in Chordieland and beyond.

[Nicely done, Amy]

Loving this! Any more?

I asked a similar question a while ago and never really got an answer. Is it possible to each play different chords but be in harmony with each other? Or is that just silly? And if so what chords go together? My theory isn't up to doing the leg work.

Try practicing an E chord but use your 2nd 3rd and 4th fingers instead of 1st 2nd and 3rd. Once you can do this OK then slide it up a fret and use your 1st finger to fret boththe 1st and 2nd strings at the 1st fret. If you twist your wrist just a little bit towards you it may be a bit easier.

And here was me thinking all you guys were living in that 21st century that we keep hearing about. Can't wait till we get our own 21st century over here.

I love that Everclear song, by the way. One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands.

Been there. Not pretty.

Absolutely. My Dad has a way of accepting any single malt with a smile and declaring it to be his VERY favourite. It's amazing just how many favourites we've been through. A drink made for sharing. Summer night; fire roaring; whisky flowing; stories to tell and songs to sing. Anywhere in the world.

Like I said it wasn't meant as a rant and i do appreciate the huge mix of populations in places like Canada, USA, Australia that makes them interesting. As I shout about national identity and the need to see Scotland and Ireland as very seperate I am also very aware that I have a big mix of both nationalities in my veins. I'll shut up now.

Now that's interesting. This makes it look like Ireland is somehow synonymous with Scotland. It's always interesting to be able to see how other nations view your own country. It would seem that Scotland and Ireland are viewed as the same place and not as two seperate countries, both passionate about protecting their national identity. It looks like we have a lot of work still to do.

Please don't take this as a personal attack or a nationalistic rant; as I say, it's just interesting. And if you ever make it over the Atlantic give me a wave from the plane and I'll come and pick you up from the airport I'd be happy to show you around.

No idea what's on the most popular list or why they're there but yes some songs are missing. To help appease the powers that be Chordie remove any songs from the list if they are asked to do so by the artist or their representatives. I'm affraid it's just a sign of the times.

Am I the 1st one here from outwith the US?

Thanksgiving is not celebrated over here and, I think, growing up with a lot of US TV shows it kinda got hammered into us over here only for us to say - Pah, yankee nonsense.

BUT

Maybe i'm getting old and sentimemtal but I'm starting to see it as a celebration that we really should be paying more attention to, wherever we are. Maybe not for the original reasons or historical story but for the sentiment behind it. As I get older I find myself more and more sitting back and having a look and thinking - you know, I really have a lot to be happy about - Maybe we need a day for doing that, for truly concentrating on it and celebrating family, friends, connections, experiences.

Maybe because it's so close to Christmas we overlook it. We tend to see Christmas as the biggy and a lot of the same sentiment from Thanksgiving comes through at Christmas. But hey, the more days we look about and say thanks the better.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and I hope you have a lovely time.

I'm a huge fan of Justin's website and his videos. It's really good to hear his album completed. Really interesting, cos on his videos his vocals are usually quite suspect but he sounds OK to me. As if I can sing, HA!
