Hi all...
I found chordie while searching for tabs. Its the only site I visit except for AZchords...but THIS site is my favorite place...the ppl here are so cool. And the wealth of information...I cant say more!
I am female, married, 44 years old. I live in Pennsylvania, USA. I've been playing acoustic off and on since age 11. I have my first electric less than 6 months now. I love to play, as well as write my own songs and lyrics.
The folks here are special, and altho I have been so busy and havnt visited much, I am forever grateful for the kindness, insight, and prayers sent to me after a particularly troubling post of mine under "jelous spouses"...by the way...things have been rocky, but getting better.

Hello Everyone,
I'm 35, live in Wales in the UK. I work in computer forensics, usually for prosecution cases for police forces or the serious fraud office. It can be stressful as on occassions I've been involved in cases of paedophilia. I've always wanted to play the guitar - and now I am. For me it's a fantastic way of getting some balance back into my life. I've been playing for around a year now, and am loving it. I stumbled across Chordie by accident; and it has been a God send. Although I don't post on the forum much, I echo the sentiments of previous posters on this thread; everything I read on the forum makes me think you are a great bunch of people - always very helpful and knowledgeable, and who, like me, loves to play the guitar. I'm very, very glad I found Chordie!

Hi All, Well as you can tell from my member date I am new here. I'm from Michigan, USA. I frist started playing in The late 60's till about the mid 70's. Was never very good, so I stopped ( work, marrage, kids, ect ). One day last summer, on the way home from work, I heard a tune that I remembered playing. Stopped at a GC that just opened near by bought an Ovation. I sounded good. But due to current interest in Blues, well lets just say...a few guitars and a few amps later...I found Chordie. It has all that I was looking for. To say the least I have learned more now than what I ever knew back in the day. Thank to this sight and all of you. Oh by the way...I'm 54 years young. I guess never to old to learn...Again Thanks....Respectfully...Airborne13

Hi Acchordians!

I'm Bone Daddy (I know, but who can resist The Nightmare Before Christmas!) Age just on the right side of 40 depending on your point of view. I live in the Ass end of England, also known as Grimsby, recently voted 6th worst place to live in this country which is about right!

When I'm not playing my Peavey Predator EXP Plus or the Accoustic Ovation Copy I bought for my wife's birthday I drive buses around the countryside and I'm also a volunteer Police Constable which I would recommend to anyone!

Discovered Chordie while looking for songs to play when I first got the guitar 18 months ago and it's the only entry on the favourites list!

Keep posting, keep rocking and enjoy life!

I'm 20, old enough to do nothing but suffer a year. Go to college in Ohio, want to go to Optometry school afterwards. I've been playing about 6 months and can't get enough... although I don't have much time anymore and my playing is grinding to a halt... Pre-Prof Biology isn't a good major for free time.

Well I'm Suze, I am English but live in the capital city a very low and swampy spot in North Europe where I commute 5 days a week to my stressy job, and relax by messing with guitar playing.

I focus mainly on acoustic but do have a few inexpensive electrics to hand, bought mostly on a whim because they look good (yes I am that shallow). I am strictly an armchair player, and my cat is my worst critic - he hates slide guitar and the Cmaj7add9 chord in particular.

There is a five in my age - and its not at the end. However if I write it backwards I am a teenager!

I was and am knocked out by the transpose and songbook functions here. The technology is well thought out - my regards to the designers - do they ever post here? Come out of the shadows ...

I am usually suspicious of web forums but this place seems friendly and respectful due I think to the nice mix of ages and nationalities and a shared interest and humility. So I will chip in in my own way with questions and answers when I can, in my own mystical way.

Greetings to all of you...

Hi folks, I'm The 10thGear, and have just registered here to become a chordionite? I orginally came across this site from another site I have a member of for some time. Quite suprisingly, I am impressed! Hope to make some freinds here that enjoy playing as much as I do... so -

This site also came to me , when i felt i was at the lowest point in my life..
Thank you all for being you, and especially to the 1 who I feel is "My personal Óg Seoda".

G'day from Australia fellow Chordies! I'm born 1952 so that makes me old and full of wisdom???? Been playing guitar for the last 40 years and slowly getting better. I've been looking at Chordie for the last five years only to get songs and it wasn't until this week that I noticed the forum tab (we do things real slow in Oz). Anyway, I registered and am having great fun reading all the posts. It's great to see the mix of contributors and thoughts. Keep on rockin'.

Hi. I'm from a lot of places, but currently residing in Quebec, Canada. I'm 27 years old.

I've been a music lover all my life, played the piano when i was younger, and always had a passion for the guitar but never the patience to stick with it so that I could learn properly.

Last year, I went through a huge personal issue (life-changing experience). I thought I was in Hell, and the only thing that helped me to ease my worries was listening to my favorite songs from artists like Dave Matthews, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, etc... After several years of setting aside my "musical creativity", I decided that maybe playing guitar was just what I needed to keep my mind intact. Also, I'm a relatively private person in the sense that I keep my problems to myself (not a great thing, I know) and don't like to share my troubles with others. So I thought it was a great way to express myself and what I had been through.

I found Chordie while I was surfing around for tabs and lead sheets for songs and, as Arkady puts it "I found so much more".
The songwriting forum is definitely my favorite place on this site. I haven't posted anything myself, but I always find myself inspired by the Chordian talents such as James McCormick (obviously), last_rebel, Jason Hague, Old Doll, Roger Guppy, Jets... just to name a few. I hope to post one of my own creations soon.

Suffice to say, that it is very rare to find such a diverse group of intelligent and friendly individuals (on the Internet especially), that respect and help each other to grow and improve in what they like to do best. We have people of all ages and from every corner of the world that contribute to this site immensely, not to mention a great team of Admin & Moderators who must work hard to keep these forums clean and enjoyable.

In any case, a big thanks to everyone involved in this site. It's helped me to improve a lot as a songwriter and as a guitarist.
