Hi Jarome,

Thanks for the reply:) 

I will help when I can and just want to bury the hatchet with this thread.  Nobody has all the answers. 

The best thing is to share ideas and experiences so we can ALL learn from each other. 

Thanks once again Jarome, I am looking forward to helping out when I can in here at chordie.

Thanks,

Stephen

Thanks for replying.  There is some great advice that was added to this post by the moderators. 

I just thought this kind of post would help with the frustrations of learning to switch chords. 

Basically any chord change either has NO fingers in common with the next chord or SOME common fingers.  Changing the un common fingers should be done in the middle of transitioning from chord to chord and not one finger at a time.

I will get a video together since it is easier to SEE in a video than explain.

Thanks,

Steve

I have been very busy with some family issues for quite a while so I haven't visited this thread in a while (sorry about that). 

It seems I am still getting "beat up" after all this time. 

When I first joined I was only looking for chord progressions to practice some songs and is why I did not read the music theory thread.

tonynulty, you didn't notice that jerome himself helped out start this thread did you????

If jarome had an issue, he wouldn't have let this thread continue and I appreciate him doing so.

I would like to get back to helping people with questions so I will just drop this thread and watch the music theory threads and help out there.

Thank you all who have had my back on this "out of control" thread.

Thanks

Steve

Where's the beef?

The band that I played in was called "Dreams". 

I will post something when I find the CD, it has been years since I listened to the tunes . 

I want to truly thank you all for putting up with me. 

The internet is a crazy place and a very difficult way to communicate since we are all behind the "internet walls" if you know what I mean. 

Most things posted would not be said in person.

Thanks once more for all your patience.

Steve

Nicely siad   If you don't do it for love, then don't do it at all. 

I will use my time an energy on things like lessons and not opininated topics like this.  Things can get very messy fast.

Thanks for your comments

Steve

Thanks Guitarpix, I do remember and will continue to contribute when I can  .

They also practice communism . 

Wow you guys are rough . 

Russell_Harding how come you didn't just post the link from wikipedia instead of copying and pasting it here?  Just kidding .

I hear what you are all saying and appreciate your point of view .  Instead of a chat this turned into a little spat.  I consider this to be a learning experience and was just trying to see where others are coming from.

The bottom line seems to be do whatever you want to as long as you do not infringe against someone.  Even with that, there are some who will cheat the system.

Thanks

Steve

That was just a generalization and thanks for the recomendation to contact Per for advertising opportunities .   

If you think about it, expecting things free is actually where the world is going sort of like a feeling of entitlement.  I can see a world where there will be no value in working. 

Software developers will stop developing software because of all the pirates giving their hard work away for free.  People teaching for free so there will be no need for teachers to work for pay. 

What I am trying to say is I have and still do pay $ my dues, like many others, which has a direct effect on the growth of companies like guitar magazines, books, videos, software etc.

Now the tables have turned to where the majority of people expect things for free which will in turn have a negative effect on the growth of the same very compainies and anyone who has a passion to succed.  Why work when someone is giving it for free. 

I look forward to hearing your responses

Thanks

Steve

That wasn't for my input, that was in case there was an interest in having lessons taught by chordie members that would share the revenue with the lesson originator and the chordie website owner.  As I stated in that thread it was merely a suggestion.

I have made a few posts here that were re directed to sites that ask for donations and some actually have lessons for sale.  I offered the help for free and re direction links seem to be in the best interest of the person re directing the links. 

I am just trying to make sense of the FREE things that are not realy being FREE (asking for donations, having some lessons free with other lessons paid, advertising on the sites).

I thought this was not an acceptable practice since it realy is an in direct way of asking for money with some free stuff mixed in.

Thanks

Steve

I am hosting all my own images here at chordie.  I have no problems putting something together that would work nicely.  Give me one of your favorite chord progressions (no infringement on chord progressions) and I will put up a bare lead sheet so we can have something to read and interpret own way.  This could be fun!

Thanks

Steve

I forgot about lead sheets .

I couldn't have said it better.  Russell, nice job on the website and your songs sound great! 

Is anyone interested in coming up with a standard lead sheet, say 32 bars, and hearing how many different interpretations we can come up with?

Thanks

Steve
