Under the section of the accident report where they request "Is there anything that could be done differently to prevent recurrence of a similar accident?".  You should enter something like: "in the future only qualified Roadies should be responsible for moving drum sets.".   Oh wait!  isn't it the Drummer who IS the Roadie in most small Bands???

Oh no that's a myth, I remember now.... ONLY the Drummer is allowed to move the drums, because everybody else wants to get a couple of drinks down while he's sweating his socks off carrying all that kit from the van and setting it up. 

I stand corrected my friend.... James did do that one, while stuck in traffic on the Santa Monica Freeway.  "It hurts my motor, to go this slow.".  So True !!  I almost seized up a motorcycle from idling and creeping along on one of those traffic jams (air-cooled) until a "Chippie" on a Kawasaki came along and gathered up all us "two-wheelers" and led us down the shoulder to the nearest off ramp.  One hot smoggy afternoon !!

Thanks for introducing yourself to the group !!  And I will add a hearty Welcome to Chordie !  This is a very friendly and helpful Community you "stumbled into", where I'm sure you will
make friends quickly.

Welcome Aboard !!

Pleased to see you back on here Liz !!  Always enjoyed your posts, and kinda missed you.

I think this issue is past history.... he was a little "chipped" about something and I never did figure out what exactly why it was such a big deal to him.  Like you said " I have not come across any songs where it is not working?", so perhaps he was using Chordie to format songs that were not in our index and that function dropped out when the upgrade happened ??

Who knows?  Anyway wanted to let you know we are happy to see you are still around after these many many months!  Welcome Home !!

As for the when and where to put the capo part of the question....  I'm kinda with Tig, 5 or 6 for that Uke-like sound (too darn old and cheap to buy a real Ukelele).

Most stuff by America usually capo on 1,  Landslide by Fleetwood Mac (originally in Eb I think) capo on 3, and I've found that most tunes originally scored for Keyboard sounds better capo'd on 2 and played as scored for piano (at least sounds best with accompaniment on the "ivorys").  Kris Kristofferson stuff usually goes down better (for me) with the capo on 1 as well for some reason...

Most folks I think use it to adjust to their singing range, mine hovered somewhere around Bb for a long time, but as we got older it kinda wandered all over the place.... most days it's "hit or miss", with more of the latter.    If in doubt start low and go up one at a time until you find what's comfy, if that don't work, transpose and start over, if that don't work take it out of the "set".    Or find someone who CAN sing....

Good Lord everybody take it easy !!  If we'd known then what we know now I KNOW we'd taken better care of ourselves earlier in life.  You can add me to the "injured list".... over the years I've broken 4 vertabrae, crushed a disk, been a para-whatchcallit, and finally had the chief of Orthopoedic Surgery work some magic to get my legs back. If it weren't for nerve damage I would be in a lot of pain (not all of those wires work anymore).  Took a bit to learn the limits, but can't complain.

Get well, do what the physical therapist says and we'll hope for good outcomes for everybody. 

The only critical part about changing the end of the neck is to accurately measure your scale length to the bridge and adjust that mounting accordingly.  Hopefully your body is not pre-drilled so that should not be much of a problem.

Have Fun !!

Seems like much ado about nothing.... except I won't be around for the next one (at least on this part of the world).  Lots of fun stuff to do in town and around the region to keep folks entertained anyway, music festivals, crafts fairs, car shows, and such.

Relations rolled in late last night without any major mishaps to report from the journey.  A good thing because I have a couple of Berry pies fresh baked that I really need some help disposing of, and I just know If I eat them myself, it'll just go "straight to my midsection" !!!  LOL Because at 6 feet and 165 Lbs, that would not be a problem (as the "Spousal Unit" growls about dietary sabotage), what can I say? I like to bake and the family likes that I like to..... 

Whipped Cream on that, anyone ??

Steel String, Finger-style.... usually with a strap (it's that Ovation thing) and centered or legs crossed on the left (top leg).  Kinda a cross between classical and folk position with the neck a bit higher than most strummers.  I'm self taught so just do whatever's comfortable at the time.    I also use a lot of second, third and fourth position Barres so don't notice much effect from scale length between my Ovation and something like my 12 string Dread..... been looking around for a baritone (37" scale) to try out, but them's scarce as Hen's teeth around these parts.

Welcome to Chordie !!   You may have noticed that there are two sources indexed for that particular tune here on Chordie.  The one from allcountry has it correctly and the other is wrong, but that sometimes happens, leaving others (like you to notice) to make edits in your songbook or printed folio.

Chordie doesn't store the music actually here, but only indexes sources and formats the information in a standard style for easier use.  Which is why the source is commonly listed within the title line.

Thanks for passing the information along, and once again Welcome Aboard.  You might consider introducing yourself to the Community down in the Chat Corner where you will I'm sure be heartily welcomed by many of our members from all over the globe.  We are a friendly group of around 500,000 with a common interest (music) and just a few simple rules of conduct:  Be kind to everyone;  No Profanity (there are Ladies and Kids present);  Avoid the subjects of Politics, Religion and Race (we try to be "very inclusive"); and No Commercial Advertising.  Oh yeah, and there are No Membership Fees associated with Joining the Fun !!

Seeing as how you asked.... this should get you started:   http://www.guitarplayer.com/gear/1012/p … rder/54929
Some will need power and some don't, most will run on "power cubes" and at common voltages so you could power a few off of one source.  Many have battery run capabilities as well so you can still perform if line current is unavailable, or heaven forfend, you fry a transformer.

Personally I only use a couple of effects regularly, so the ones provided by my amp suffice and I can "stack" effects via midi control, or add them on a second channel or from the mixer.  Not the same as using real stomp boxes, but good enough for the stuff I do.  (and less stuff to lug around)
