Gnarly,
What do you play and where are you moving to? I'm not really looking to start a "band" I just want people to jam with.

Re: AAAAAAGH I CAN'T NAME MY BAND IT'S TOO HARD!!! (105 replies, posted in My local band and me)
The Butthole Surfers used a different name at every gig. The first gig at which they actually made money they were calling themselves the Butthole Surfers, so they decided to stick with that name. You might just start going by different names and when one of them sticks keep it.

P.S. You already admitted to being a Geek. You can't renege now. Besides you'll eventually figure out what kind of a geek you are. Keep searching.

SO what kinda geeks are you?
If you are computer geeks you could pick a word or your initials and write it in binary code so that your name would be something like: "10100100010101001001001111"
or you could go with the first computer: "ABC (Atanasoff-Berry Computer)" or "ENIAC" which wasn't the first but has a cooler name.
If you are gamer geeks you could pick a game or character from a game that you all play together like HALO or Everquest or you could choose whatever system you play or mix in some actions or adjectives like the "HALO P'owners" (or however the kids spell that word).
If you are D and D geeks you could honor it's creator (RIP) and call yourselves the "GYGAXES" (which has the word axes in it too-Rock On). Or you could be "The D20 System" or as a play on another band you be "System of a D20"
Just some ideas on lines of thought you might be able to use.

I get the same thing on the side of the screen. It has a yes and a no button. I think it is just another stupid internet quiz thing.

Re: AUTOMATIC GUITAR TUNER (25 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
My 2 cents:
I'm am a new player, but I see the importance of learning to play by. However I also see the importance of being in tune. I like to tune my guitar by ear from my piano's E and then check it with my Spectrum chromatic tuner to make sure it is on. Usually I am a little bit off when try by ear, but I think my ear is getting better with practice.
As far as the robot tuner goes: I think it is cool that we have technology that advanced, but I think it is technology that we don't need. I think we rely on technology too much in this world anyway. Some of it is cool, but there is a limit. Tuning your guitar helps you get connected with it. And I can't see the robot tuner being that much faster than a chromatic one anyway. I also agree with Arma, it doesn't matter if you are in perfect tune with yourself if you're not in tune with the people around you. Further more you don't even have to be in perfect tune, if all your strings are a semitone off and they are still in tune with each other you'll still sound okay.

Re: chord/lyric layout (2 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Thank you for your quick response. Knowing that will make it much easier than than trying to squeeze or stretch 4 beats into each line. I'll do as you suggested and listen to the songs and look at the music together.
Thank you,

Topic: chord/lyric layout (2 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi
I'm new to Chordie and the guitar. I have found this sight to be helpful and full of lots of great songs, but I need some help. When looking at the chord sequence and lyrics to a songs, is each line a measure or how is that broken up? Also, if there are 2 chords on a line are they played for half of a mesasure or what?
Thanks
Turtlebo
