HI Mark,

Great to hear you had such a wonderful present and so much fun at the studio, lucky man to have such a considerate lovely lady. Like others I am looking forward to hearing the finished results.

Maybe using a softer pick will reduce the pick sound you are hearing or try playing without a pick. You can use the the fleshy part of your thumb to give a mellow tone or use your nails to make it louder and more lively.

As for missing the of palm mute or strums, more practice will make perfect or alternatively you could say that this is just your interpretation of the song and that you meant to play it that way .

Recording your playing/singing and listening to it afterwards is a good way of analysing what you are doing to make changes or improvements. It is also beneficial to save recordings to see how much you have improved over the months.

Ken as I understand it the majority of drivers in the world drive on the left hand side of the road, South Africa, Japan and (I think) China. The idea for driving on this side came from the days when we wore a sword and rode a horse, it was easier (for the right handed) to draw your sword and defend yourself if you passed this way.

When it comes to roundabouts I am sure that there must be a EEC grant for them. They are springing up all over Portugal. Quartiera, a town I know well had a main road through it about 1.5 km long with one set of traffic lights in it 3 years ago. Now there are no lights but 7 roundabouts and it is far worse to navigate particularly as there are zebra crossings on each road just as you approach them.

What I find very confusing in Portugal is the seperation of numbers they use commas where we use full stops and vice versa. So three thousand euros and 50 cents would be written €3.000,50.

Can we close this one now guys and use WBH's new random thread? These latest comments are more suited there.

I am so old my first guitar had dinosaur gut for strings.

Hey Daddycool,

I have been wooing so I have not been songwriting much but I have been active in other areas of Chordie. I am very well and enjoying the attentions of a sweet young lady.

Roger

This is the latest scan of Chordie from Norton that was completed today: http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=chordie.com

As you can see all is well.

Like Ken I have heard, and read in magazines, many discouraging reports about Norton and I am told is is not easy to get rid of all traces of it once you have installed it. It is not  a programme that I would use.

Hi flavie,

Advertising has to be paid for whether it be on billboards, newspapers, TV or the Internet. The website of niklasber linking people to commercial sites will normally generates income for the owner of that site, in this case niklasber, so posting it is spam and hence its removal of the link by my collegue. If the site is in it's infancy it may not at the moment generate any income, but if it proves sucessful, it most certainly will.

Chordie promotes and advertises two guitar tuition courses, Jamorama and JamPlay. Both of which are tried and tested and and known to be fair and honest with their clients. From posts we have seen in this Forum it is obvious that some of the others are not trutworthy.

Any newcomer, like yourself, wanting help will get it completely free from the generous Members of Chordie who are always more than willing to share their knowledge and experience with others and to help and encourage them to improve, simply by asking in the appropriate section.

Roger

Anyone wishing to advertise or promate a commerial website on Chordie should write to admin@chordie.com for more information.

Hi Carmusic and welcome to Chordie,

The automatically generate passwords are awful to remember so here is what you do:

Click on 'Profile' in the blue bar above and under your user name you will see Change password. Click on this and and you can then make it something easier to remember.

If you then click on 'Privacy' in the blue box on the left you can set Chordie to remember your username and password between visits so that you are automatically logged in when you open Chordie, however this is not a good idea on a shared computor as anyone else using the PC can steal your Chordie identity.

Roger

Wow Nela that is something else. I am so pleased that you have a happy ending to your experience which so easily could have been a tragedy. You now need to take it easy and seek medical advice and do whatever is needed to prevent any further problems.

My thoughts and prayers are with you,

Roger

I would guess that your unsuccesssful attempt to register did in fact log the e-mail address in the system. Please write to me privately and give me both addresses and if I am unable to sort it for you I will forward the information to Per for his help.
