Re: coverbands and tribute bands THE SAME? (3 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
I always thought of a cover band as any band that doesn't play original music.
They play music by many artists, and really don't try to sound like anyone, they just play everyone elses music "their" way.
A tribute band, to me, is a band that tries to "mirror" the sound, style, and perfomance of one particular artist.
Sort of like an Elvis impersonator.
Tribute bands are somewhat strange to me...but there are many of them out there.

Re: What Makes A Cheap Guitar (5 replies, posted in Electric)
A question I have is simply this:
How much (or how little) would I have to spend to get a decent sounding solid body electric?
I have only owned acoustics, and have only recently become interested in looking at an electric.

Yes that is an Ovation.
You can tell by the shape of the headstock, the design around the soundhole, and the un-mistakable round "plastic" back.

Re: I want to buy an Ovation (19 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I have owned an Ovation CC057 for a few years now.
It sounds good, holds a tune well, and when coupled with some Elixir light strings, it plays pretty good.
It is what it is. It is not a $1000 guitar. So it won't sound like one.
The tuner is very good, although it does eat the batteries (at least mine does), especially when plugged in.
I run it through a Behringer keyboard amp along with a mic and it does a great job.
The case that comes with it is very nice.
All in all it is a decent starter guitar.
Make sure you change out the stock strings as soon as you get it. Those things will make your fingers bleed.
edit: The roundback does take some getting used to. I am no longer a flat bellied youngster, and it tends to want to kick out. If I lost 20lbs...it probably wouldn't be an issue

Re: Copying to Word (17 replies, posted in About Chordie)
On the right side of the song page underneath the "Ads by Google" and the "Rate this song" button there is a button that says "Source" Original Song....
If you click on the Original Song button you will be able to copy/paste to word with no problems whatsoever.
Oh...and BTW...I like the format, it makes for easy printing right from the page without having to cut/paste.
But...to each his own.
