Hi,
I just joined Chordie. I am a 5 string banjo player among other instruments. As such I don't call a six-string instrument, tuned like a guitar, a banjo. smile. Oh, and by the way, my son is a classical bassoon player (Eastman and Cleveland Institute of Music), I have been to MANY classical concerts.

Zurf,

I also play bass, guitar, 5 string banjo, and uke. I can pretty much play in any key but don't do that much above 4 b's or #'s. Flats I played a lot in church, sharps I played a lot in the blues band I was in for 14 years.

I tend to write slash chords due to my limited theory knowledge. ie I would write Dm7/C instead of C6/9add4 to facilitate fingerings on the keys. I can make the former faster than I can think the latter.

Hi,
I've been using chordie for years but just decided to sign up. I am a keyboard player (gasp) and play in several groups, one of which does a lot of tunes from the 30's-40's. I use OnSong for my ipad and have several hundred songs in it, adding almost daily these days. I am 65. The music I like is Beatles, James Taylor, Allison Krauss.

I live in central Ohio, USA. I know chordie doesn't store files. If I wanted to share some chordsheets where would I do it? or should I do it at all?

Thanks for adding me.
Pete
