Re: Slide guitar question (5 replies, posted in Music theory)
you could try moving the slide up or down to the fret it sounds cool and moving it back and forth over a fret fast gives it a blues feel like bending the note and pick out individual notes on the frets to create or play an existing melody it works for me also try different tunings major minior even maj 7th have fun with it

Re: Slide guitar question (5 replies, posted in Music theory)
yes and keep in mind to posistion the slide on the fret not in the center between the frets when moving up or down to another chord and use the E string as a guide the same as normal chording and there are some nice sounds by barring only three strings like in a barre C Chord

Re: My Puter is dead RIP (23 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My friend the computer tech came over and located the problem on one of the system restores it loaded a program that was deleted but some of the files could not be restored and this is what was causing the shutdown during boot he is bringing a registry cleaner over to fix this and we may wind up installing the entire OS and re installing a new Windows operating system he has all the things needed to do this its fortunate he is a friend I liked watching him rip thru the various programing screens to locate the culprit he is at ease like me on my git fiddle

I may be able to get you a hard drive and maybe even one imaged for XP. Let me check with a buddy. He restores computers as a hobby and has a bunch of spares around. Too bad he's in Virginia instead of Wisconsin, else you'd probably be able to get your computer repaired for a game of chess and a chocolate sundae then have a jam session because my buddy's a pretty good picker too.

Re: My Puter is dead RIP (23 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
its quite possible I have had this PC for at least three years or more and it was given to me by a friend who got it from his mother when she got a new one and who knows how long she had it perhaps the best thing is to take it to a PC repair and find out what the problem is either way its going to cost a $100 or so to fix I may be better spending the money on a new or good used one

Thank you for the information I do remember when it happened the first time that I was able to start it in safe mode and the blue screen came on with white lettering it was running a test and it said a drive was acting erratic I do have a friend who is a programmer and I will ask him to take a look if the new hard drive has the capacity I will install vista thanks again

If the rest of the computer is ok then just replace the HD. You can probably get a copy of XP on ebay but you cannot buy it anymore. If you do go the new HD then try to see if there is anyone with a copy of XP that you can borrow. You might be surprised at how many there are out there. You might also wanna try to go to HP's website and see if they have the recovery disc that they can send you. It may cost about 15 bucks if they have one.
Remember that microsoft or HP may not have updated drivers for the computer and you might have to install Vista or Windows 7.
If you have not taken it in to get it looked at you might wanna do that before you spend for a new HD. It could be your vid card/chip. I had the same issue with two of my laptops. It was not the HD. I burned the vid chips out playing Call Of Duty on-line. If that is the case try to install a new Motherboard. It will be cheaper, in most cases than buying a new computer.

Hey
Russell!Devon mentioned something about you having drive troubles..... You might just consider replacing the hard drive if everything else is still running without problems. Drives are not that spendy these days. On a brighter note though, it's another thing to add to your "Santa" list.
Take Care;

Topic: My Puter is dead RIP (23 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
well it finely happened my old reliable HP Pavilion running a windows xp home edition gave up the ghost the hard drive is kaput when I start it the logo screen comes on then the windows welcome screen with the lights scrolling across the bottom and then Poof and my monitor says "no signal" I am able to start it in safe mode and I have tried system restore that works and the computer starts after a very long time and runs normally but when I shut down and try a restart NADA same thing,I was able to get it going again and downloaded TweakU (from windows) its supposed to fix the problem but nooooooooo 
I was trying to eliminate the start screens and go directly to the desk screen but no luck so it looks like I will have to buy another dinosaur cheap to replace it because I run my digital recorder to it to make mp3's in Audacity and as a backup to my Gateway Vista ho ho ho

Amy I remember when I first started learning theory before I used to think it was a waste of time because I was a rock n roller then and only played in 5 keys at best never messed with flats or sharps or even Maj 7ths after a year or so of hitting the books things started making sense and scales vastly improved my speed and precision and creativity its well worth the investment of time to study theory

Thanks toots, its just that it dont matter if a song is in Italian or Klingon if its a copyrighted song it could cause trouble for Chordie from greedy Lawyers representing the holders of the copyright that is why we have to stay vigilant.

Re: Nashville numbers (7 replies, posted in About Chordie)
just a hunch is it calling each chord by the number of the chord in the scale? like I 4 5 6 (C F G Am)? I googled up Nashville number system and its the same.When I played in Vegas we used this system all the time on new songs I would call out the changes by numbers it is a very quick and easy system to communicate the chord changes even if you have never played the song before a little theory cant hurt
