Re: capo

Hello Randy


I see that this is your first posting on the forum so welcome to Chordie.


Although many of the members here are accomplished players and will have no need of this chart, there will also be newcomers to guitar playing here that will find it helpful.


Thank you for your consideration,


Roger

Re: capo

Yep, I'd just like to echo what Roger says.


I'm nowhere near being an accomplished player and might find myself taking you up on your offer at some point, it's nice to know that you're willing to help others out.

Re: capo

Hey buddy. Please excuse bigdjindustriez. He's a professional   <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_rolleyes.gif" border=0 alt="Rolling Eyes">  (just ask him he will tell you). I for one think it's great that you took the time to do that for us. A lot of musicians here don't feel that they know everything there ever will be to know and enjoy the chance to learn from others on the site. And as a side note I really don't like the idea of discouraging a post from anyone especially a newbie. Anyway thanx again for the chart and feel free to post anything els that might be helpfull because if you had to learn it then chances are somebody els still needs to.  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_cool.gif" border=0 alt="Cool">

Re: capo

Greetings rstauffe & welcome to the chordie forum!  Chordie.com is a wonderful resource and a great place to share information, make acquaintances, and find entertainment, and learn about how to be a better musician.


My participation in the forum has enhanced my understanding and appreciation of music.  I have found fellow musicians around the world who share my enthusiasm for learning how to make music.


I have 'met' many people on this forum who I would enjoy having as a neighbor.  Although I may never have the opportunity to meet them in person I value their friendship, enjoy their insights, and am honored to count them as friends.


Most regular users of this resource exhibit both poise and maturity.  Most regular users of this resource understand that this is a place where musicians can go to find useful information.


Most regular users of this site are sufficiently self-confident that they do not feel the need to belittle other users with snide and unproductive commentary.  Most regular users of this resource come here to share their love of music.


Unfortunately, a few forum participants exhibit immature attitudes and anti-social behavior that would start a bar fight in any local tavern on the planet.  Perhaps these users will eventually learn to behave in a more civil and productive manner.  Perhaps they will find another forum more suited to their self-perceived expertise.


Your capo chart is no doubt a very useful reference.  I once created a Circle-of-Fifths transposing tool on an Excel spreadsheet.  Through the process of creating the transposing chart, I gained a much more thorough understanding of the structure and uses of the Circle of Fifths.


Congratulations for having the initiative and curiosity to create such a tool.  It is this sort of 'spark' that drives a musician to discover more about how to make music.  It is this sort of spark that drives the creative process.


I know this has been rather wordy, but I felt the need to express these thoughts in a well-reasoned and articulate manner.  Again, welcome to chordie!

Re: capo

That sounds like an excellent tool to help you learn closed chord shapes and scale theory.  You should see if you can make it available on a web site somewhere.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: capo

Please excuse "american chaos theory" for trying to be a bigshot.  I Never referred to myself as a professional, maybe one time, jokingly.  I Actually said in my post "thats a nice gesture!" so obviously I wasn't criticizing you.  Maybe you can attach the capo chart to a posting.  Thanks for your enthusiam to help others.

You'll have to cross me off that list, James. I just bought a drum kit! <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_wink.gif" border=0 alt="Wink">
