Re: New to Chordie and new to music (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
In answering both questions i will first address the one about copyright if i may.
I tried to follow the link given but for some reason it did not work. However, in general if a person only uses the music for his/her own pleasure there are no problems.
If a person is intending to use the music on a professional basis copyright laws apply unless the artist in question has been dead for 30 years or more.
The difference between a Solicitor and a Barrister is simple. A Solicitor gathers all the legal information i.e. statements and other paper work puts together the legal argumment and the Barrister presents this to the court in their own persuasive way.
I hope this answers thses questions

Thanks Boxer,
Its nice to have such a quick reply.
I'm in the process of learning the finger picking thing..what a nightmare.
Also i find it very hard to produse clear sounds due to my fingers touching the other strings.
Does htis just come with practice?

Topic: New to Chordie and new to music (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi everyone,
As the title suggests i'm new to Chordie and to music in general which is totally shameful as i'm 41 years old.
Allow me to tell you a little about myself.
I'm a 41 year old man from the cold and wet North East of England.
I am a Lawyer working for a large firm of Solicitors here in the North east. I'm married to a truly beautiful woman with an equally gorgeous daughter. Life is pretty good i guess but there has always been something missing, music, any type of music as long as it evokes some kind of feeling inside.
For as long as i can remember i have wanted to play an instrument. I did not know what intrument just as long as it made music. However, to my shame i done nothing about it until very recently. My older brother who has always played the guitar encouraged me to try and learn this beautiful sounding instrument (for some anyway).
I have been taking lessons from my brother for the past 3 months and have discovered in me what i have been looking for all my life, a way of making music. Its getting better but slowly.
Anyway enough of my ramblings. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and learning from you all too.
What i have read on here really inspires me, learning its not just me with sore fingers and a rubbish strumming pattern.
Regards
Bri
