Re: New guy blues
If its on Chordie there is a transpose feature on the right of the screen where the song is posted transpose it down 2 semi tones (half steps) if its not on Chordie an understanding of scales would be very helpful

Russel: Thanks for the info. The song I want does not have the transpose feature. If the song is not stored on the Chordie server that feature is not available. I did it old school, by hand. I have checked other songs and see the transpose option.
I used to play (2 life times ago) so I do know scales, although I am somewhat rusty. Thanks again for your input.
Stay loose, Tony

Re: New guy blues
...or buy yourself a digital tuner and tune your strings down one full step
Instead of the standard tuning E A D G B E,
.................drop 'em down to D G C F A D
and play the same shapes you previously played
Give everything but up.
