I was looking at a sale yesterday and there was a great deal on a beautiful Mandolin.

The only problem is that I do not know how to play one.
Does anyone here on the Chordie forum play one ?   How hard is it ? Is it similar to guitar ?

Trust me Wayne - the good people of Chordie will figure it out.
I too was frustrated at first - and everyone - especially us older guys (and gals too I suppose) are a little slow to jump on the "change bandwagon". But I have started to get used to it - you just have to jump in - get those feet in the pond- and try some new stuff.  It hasn't always worked/ but the mods and Per will address anything you send them.  Like it says all over - Keep Calm and carry on !  I hope it all works out for you and you continue to enjoy Chordie and all the good people around the globe that participate and interact.  It's a really good family of friends!

Thanks Guys

Dino you are right - A7 is much better - thanks for the tip _ i will edit and change it.

Mods - can you tell me why it won't go in to chord pro format - I entered it according to directions as I have always done in the past. Is there something new I need to do ?

I think this song has the potential for a nice guitar solo in it, right after the first chorus - - too bad I can't play enough to put one in smile

Thanks for taking a look!

Ditto

I sent Bill  and Dondra a card by email as I have several times previously,, but alas this time the service said he has not picked it up.  I am a bit anxious and concerned.

Bill if you read this - know that you in the thoughts and prayers of a lot of us.We'd  love to hear a little chirp from down south - make us all feel relieved I am sure.

Best wishes to you and Dondra

all the songs in my songbook are fine - all the words - all the chords - Chord pro format

none of the songs I had on the songwriter forum that were in chordpro format are there intact - only a few lines and then they are cut off and not in the chordie pro format

I know you guys are working hard to resolve bugs, but I just want to know if you can tell me if there is going to be a recovery of the songs in songwriting or not.

They were under songwriting

At first I thought it was just this song - but it seems there are more - in fact all of the songs I had posted!
They are not in the chordie pro  magical format either like they were before

Thanks for looking into it Amy
Sure hope it isn't lost.

the new format has left me a bit frustrated

- the lyrics and chords to my song (Title ws: This time I may be wrong)  that i had posted got chopped off.... with the change
what makes me sad is that the only place i had the edited version was right here ! I usually have it backed up on my computer = which I do with the original post ... but I had edited and not yet made the change elsewhere

Is there anyway to recover it ?


I also got a message that I was banned last nighth ... but Per fixed that already.

What they said......... !

Mood and type of sound you want in the moment is critical......   but.... I have 9 different guitars and most of my playing revolves around my Alvarez and Martin. I have a beautiful Hollowbody - I paid some pretty good $ for - and I've played it about 12 times in two years.  Go with your heart man ! - Nice guitar you got there it seems !
Welcome to Chordieland!

Very Nicely performed. and written.
