If Chordie does get shut down, it would be cool to have the code to display songs that you've formatted on your own. I think there used to be something like that in the early days. If you can edit your own songbook, you can properly set up any song for Chordie to do its thing.
Try an open-mic night. I went empty-handed to one, and after I saw there were people worse than me who got up, that was enough for me to try it the following week. I took my music with me because I was afraid of getting lost. I only had to refer to it for the first line of each verse, but it took out a lot of that fear.
One funny thing -- if you're nervous and sweating, and there's a hot light shining on you, that will make you sweat even more which, in turn, will make you even more nervous! So stay out of the friggin' light!
I'm not nuts about my voice. I tend to sound like Neil Young and consequently play and sing mostly his music. However, when I play in front of others, I try not to play him, because I don't want to hear, "that sounds just like Neil." If I play a song of his, I try to pick an obscure one, so no one will know!
I also try to play new songs that I haven't already played 100,000 times on my own. I like to think they sound fresher. Sometimes it sounds better because I have yet to discover the things that trip me up.
I concur. You need to find people with the time and the same motivation as you. I would love to just sit and jam and learn with other people, but I have a very irregular schedule and would not be able to hold up my end.
A friend of mine on the other coast has a fluctuating band -- he is the constant, unchanging member. He'll take on other people, but if they miss a gig, they're gone. The most recent exitee actually answered his cell phone in the middle of a song and got up to take the call. This with an audience at a county fair! Obviously the performance was not his priority.
You may need/want to start reading about music theory. I've only stuck my toes in, but so far I've learned that music "goes where it's supposed to go." Chord progressions exist because they sound "right" to us.
So I would say chord progressions originated with the human ear.
There's a lot about music that's very interesting, and it can be found in the study of music theory.
