Hi Singist,

Welcome to Chordie and thank you for noting the errors in "Halfway To Paradise".

You need to  transfer the song to your Songbook and make the neccessary correction on there first. (This gives you chance to check that all the alterations are correct). Then highlight and copy your edited version.

You now need go to the Songs section and open the original song and at the bottom of the page you will see a message 'Correct this song'. Click on this and paste your edited version, zap the old one and then save it.

The song displayed will now be your version with a note at the bottom saying that it has been corrected by you.

Roger.

No night light and I slept like a log.  Your legal team can relax

Hi Jeff,

Love the G to E chord change in this they go well together, (I must remember that and use it myself sometime).

We tend not to get too much rain here so I do not the enforced pleasure of extra guitar practice. Still that is one of the reasons I left the UK.

Thank you Jeff,

Roger

Hi Mark,

Well done, I enjoyed watching and listening to that. No damage to hearing I will let you know about nightmares tomorrow .

You got 5 stars from me also

Hi Mike,

Actually when I eventually got to hear it I did rather like this song. Ok it is not quite as I would have performed it but by gosh you certainly sounded to have had great fun thrashing it out.

Thank you,

Roger

Love the song Snowden300. All to often politicians and big industry see only money and forget about the people who have to live in the fallout of decisions made for financial gain without any consideration of the local ecology.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Jeff,

Just gave your song the once over and I must say it is another good effort from you. Mind you at a mere 60 years old I have not got to the stage of having to slow down yet so I will not be singing this one for a good number of years.......I wish

Roger

Thank you Alec,

Mhebert, what has up till now been a secret is that there is a special coded language that Moderators have to learn. Although Ken's message seem like ordinary trivia it does mean something completely different which I cannot, of course, divulge as I would be breaking my Moderator's oath. As a part of the acceptance ritual one has to barre a chord and show proficiency in the use of a capo. We also greet and recognise each other with a special chordshape. I am not at liberty to tell you more than that though.:lol:.

Thank you Phil,

I don't know if you realise how apt your remarks are. Sir Cliff's Portuguese villa and vinyard are less than 20 kms from me.

The main functions of a Moderator are to keep an eye on the postings to make sure that spam is not getting through and deleting it if it does appear. Moving posts that get put in the wrong section of the forum, or as you know at the moment we are asking the person to move it themselves as this function is not operating correctly yet. And I suppose just making sure that things go smoothly.

A Moderater can edit, delete or block any posting in his/her section however I think that these functions will rarely be used. If any of my more experiences collegues want to add something or pass comment here please feel free.

I became a Moderator by invitation, it was not a position I sought, although I am more than pleased to be able to help Chordie run smoothly as most of my PC time is spent here. Although I will never meet them I have made many new friends since I became a member of this site.

Hi Phil,

Most of the regular contibutors the the songwriting section know that it is my mission to persuade, cajole or bully songwriters into performing their own works, whether it be openly in the forum or behind the scenes in private e-mails. Everyone who posts a song here will tell you that they are always in danger of me trying to get them to record it. Hey I have even hijacked some of the songs and recorded them myself.

Several Chordians now have their songs on the Internet. Some have put their initial works on Friends of Chordie, a MySpace site that I keep especially and exclusively for Chordie members to use, and several now have there own MySpace. It is planned that eventually there will be a companion site to Chordie called Chordshare where songs can be posted at which time FoC will become redundant.

Take care,

Roger

Hello Lidovic,

Welcome to Chordie. I will answer the easy question first. With tabs the '0' indicates that the string is played open i.e. without being pressed at any fret.

I would suggest that you start learning three chords, G, C and D. There are a multitude of songs that can be played with these chords and if you go to the Absolute Beginners songbooks you are bound to find some that you know.

It is hard work learning to play, do not expect it to come easy and do not think that you will be playing all your favourite songs in a couple of weeks. If you read through other threads concerning learning to play you will see the words, practice, practice and even more practice mentioned over and over. This is because it is the repetition that gets your fingers to lock in the right postion to play a chord without having to think about it.

Keep coming back here you will get all the help and encouragement you need. Different people will have different views on how things should be done and you will be able to pick and choose which way you want to go.

Roger
