Hello fellow Texan,

A play mostly acoustic and here's a song list that I compiled for a recent jam night:

It depends on the application...

I'll use a 234 if I'm making a lot of changes from G to C.

I'll use a 123 (and 1234) if I'm making changes from G to other chords.

1234 method

Other 1234 method I use makes it easy to switch to a D7 (see below)

Say it isn't so...

Whenever I print a song I now see faint letters in a rectangle that reads, "You can now place your ads on every Chordie print. Contact admin@chordie.com for details."

Advertising on your website isn't enough?

Now I'm having a page view and print problem.

Page view problem:  Extraneous text on the right margin prevents me from using the ADD TO SONGBOOK feature.

Print view problem:  There's nothing to print.

Anything Merle Haggert, Waylon Jennings,Willie Nelson. All good for acoustic.Isn"t guitar great.

Take Care....Badeye.

Willie's music can get pretty complex...especially the ballads.  "Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground" has a D# Diminished ... not an easy chord.

Here's a print bug...

Whenever a song has a quote symbol ( " ) the song will print everything up to the symbol and not beyond.

For example, in John Mellencamp's "Pink Houses" the print feature will print everything up to:

[And he looks at her and says,] but, because there's a quote symbol after the word "says," nothing prints beyond it.
