Hi Ken,

I have to disagree with you on this one about Ab. Ab is easily played with a barred F on the 4th fret and unlike B where you have to go up to the 7th using this shape. The barred F shape is not so bad but B played with the barre on the second fret really is a pig and I more often than not play a 4 string xx4442 B if I am unable to get to the 7th.

By the way I have stubby fingers too.

Great one Pix,

I bet you never realised just what you were letting yourself in for when you suggested starting a Begginner's Songbook but looking at this it will be a great reference tool for them. The next time you are in the Algarve I will buy you a pint (or two).

Thanks for the link to this vid. I am sure it was good.

Hi Jeff,

Interesting train of thought there and not a bad song to boot . Now what about a recording?

Roger

Great poem Phill, you have captured the nocturnal events brilliantly.

Instead of screaming as that will get you nowhere, try looking 13 threads down the list in this section to: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7047

Hi Alan,

I like this one. Strangely enough for me I played it all the way through, normaly I will only play a song as far as the writer has bothered to put the chords in. I played it on my 12 string with a fairly upbeat tempo which seemed to work for me. I liked the chord sequence and hope that you have plans to record it sometime soon. Thank you.

Hi Kenny,

Thanks, the Chordie Clan Bash is certainly an exciting idea and being around for the next 58 years will give me plenty of chance to win the Euromillions lottery to ensure that it happens .

Sorry Phill, you have completely got the 'wrong end of the stick' here. Far from being morose it was meant to lighten and uplift. If you read my earlier messages you will see that I plan to being around for a long time to come and there are no hidden meanings in the lyrics. It is simply meant to say that death is not a thing to be tearful about but is the start of a new chapter in one's existence, a new adventure into unknown territory....

Sorry if you see it this way, it means that I did not get it right so it is back to the drawing board .

Hi John and welcome to Chordie,

Jerome is right that you are never too old to learn to play the guitar but for me your question does raise an interesting point. Chordie has always been primarily for stringed instruments but I do know that there are several Members that play keyboard, so two questions:

1. Are there Members that play any other non-stringed instruments that use Chordie?

2. How many players of non-stringed instruments would like to have a seperate section for their queries and discussions?

If there is enough interest then we could ask Per if he would open a new 'Non-Stringed Instrument' section.

I have and use 'Band-In-A-Box'. It is a very user friendly programme and the latest versions use actual drum and instrument recordings instead of synthesised ones and thousand of styles to choose from. It is great for learning to play in strict tempo and how to play with others when there are other musicians around to play with.

Hi Toney and Ark,

Thanks for the positive comments.

I have decided it will be played at my funeral but as I plan on living to be 120 years old that is some time off, so you have another 58 years of putting up with me .
