Hi Marcalan,
The problem is almost certainly at your end otherwise there would be hundreds of Members asking this question. The only thing I have to add is to check that your printer drivers are up to date and make sure you are not printing in draft mode.
Roger
A very Happy Birthday to you Helena. I hope you have your feet up all day and your family pampering you like crazy.

Hi Cal1c0 and welcome to Chordie,
You can amend the song yourself and I will cheat a little here and copy an explanation from James McCormick to another member asking the same question.
If you find a song in chordie's index and it needs corrections, please do the following:
Move the song into your personal songbook.
Open it in your songbook using the 'edit' button at the end of it's listing.
You can make your corrections in the upper/edit window.
Save your changes using the 'save changes' button between the edit and view windows.
Return to your songbook, and open the song normally to make sure your changes are working.
Once you are satisfied the song has been truly improved, you can use the 'improve this song' button in chordie's index and then paste in your improved version.
Now, everybody can use the corrected version and your name will appear with the song, "Corrected by Cal1c0".
Seems complicated - but it actually is quite simple once you get used to using chordpro notation.
Take care
Roger
Hi Ark,
Well done from me too. Capernicus is a great song and deserves top ranking.
However as you say OurStage judging seems to be very fickle, on Wednesday one of mine was 202nd, Thursday it was standing at 57th (excitement rising), this morning it is 193rd (back to earth with a crash). I cannot understand the big changes in so short a time.
Roger
There is a scientific explanation for this:-
It comes under Murphy's Law (there is a ruder name for it but this is a child friendly site).
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong and usually at the most inconvenient time.

Hi Daddycool,
A lovely tribute to your friend, I hope you get chance to let his family hear it.
Roger
Why thanks James,
A first class 'flawed' recording which I could not help but join in playing with you.
Roger
4. It's prone to a little feedback, so cut the mids down a bit. Once I had the on board EQ set up, it was no problem at all.
Hi Jerome,
I understand you can get a plastic cover that fits in the sound hole to reduce the feedback which would allow you more latitude with the EQ settings.
Roger
Hi Jeff,
Great song, reminding me of myself as I am very shy and have let chances pass me by too. I am also intrigued so I will now go and try and find the Melanie Safka song too.
Thank you,
Roger
PS I found the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIFknAdVvNM only to realise in the first couple of bars that I do in fact remember it.
Hi James,
Having been the victim of slanderous campaign last year, which was only halted with the help of a solicitor, I know only too well what damage people can do with lies. I was lucky in respect that several people who know me well enough to know that the stories were scurrilous let me know in good time to stop it early.
I do like your song and the chording for it is great. I am hoping soon to hear your melodious tones bring it to life (and finding out how far away my interpretation of it is too).
Thank you,
Roger
Hi Jeff,
I have visited my father's home town, Hertford (pronounced Hartford), with him and he took me to the places he played as a child and told of some of the pranks that he got up to. Now he is no longer with us it is a very, very fond memory and your song has brought this back to me.
I have now put it on FoC http://www.myspace.com/friendsofchordie and I guess that the photo titled "Pete Gilpin" you sent to go with it is of your father.
Thank you,
Roger
Hi Helena,
A lovely song and it is sung wonderfully by Tamara, well done to both of you.
Roger
PS.
It is no problem sorting out the formatting, mind you it would not have worked even if you had done it right in this instance, cause Joe Muggins here made a mistake also. ![]()
Why thanks Russ,
Of course it happens all the time but I do not like to boast.
By the way did you say you have an appointment at the Hearing Clinic next week?

Roger
Well thanks Russ,
Now you tell me, I had to don some extremely tight and uncomfortable underwear to help me reach the high notes in the key of A.

Roger
That was amusing Russ, I hope the other mentioned Chordie Members have a listen and a laugh. One thing thing though, I was not quite sure about the reference to the Roy Orbison fans and me I cannot think of anything in the postings relating to this. Mind you it was fun to listen to anyway.
Roger
Hi Jeff,
I am getting all sentimental about microbes and germs now and you have put me off waterbeds for life. ![]()
A good fun song, well done and thank you,
Roger
Hi Lieven,
I know you are a special case and your situaltion is different to most but there are two big flaws that I can see.
One. Listening to someone else playing an instrument lets you know how it sounds with them playing it on their equipment. It does not let you know what it will sound like with you playing it using your equipment.
Two. Unless you handle and play the instrument yourself you do not know that it will suit you in regard to things like the shape and feel of it, the width of the fingerboard, the size of the body and it's weight etc.
I know an 11 year old young man who is a very talented and gifted guitarist and he was longing for a Gibson guitar without actually playing one himself. He was very excited when his father promised him one for last Christmas. His joy was short lived I'm afraid. He is slightly built and the Gibson is so heavy that he can only use it for a very short while before it get too uncomfortable to play.
Roger
Wow Russ,
I am green with envy. Would you like a session musician for the day at no charge? Mind you it is a fairly long trip from Portugal so perhaps I will just have to wait for the video.
Roger
Hi TF and welcome to Chordie,
Unfortunately you will not be able to put put up the chords and lyrics for this song directly on Chordie unless you are the owner of the copyright. Please read the 'Sticky' at the start of the Song Requests section for the reasons why.
Roger
Hi Helena,
After our conversation earlier I used a link you gave me to Richard Thompson to show a demonstraion of his syle of playing in another thread. So he has got two mentions within a few minutes.
http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic. … 369#p53369
I love the 'Beeswing' song by the way.
Roger
JimBusch - That's wild! I'm going to give it a try.
- Zurf
Zurf, just maybe JimBusch is really Richard Thompson incognito. Look at this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K18xQgDS3U
This is a good example of this style of playing with some close ups too and a brill song to boot.
Roger
Hi Doug,
All Russ has given us is the groundwork, the basics, for us to play with and come up with song. So I say you can undisqualify yourself and you have the chance to take part in this first time event of Chordie.
I have completed my entry and submitted it to Russell and I can assure you that, although I too have heard his version of this several times, my song is absolutely nothing like Russ's video. Don't forget that although we have been given 5 chord sequences to use there is no restriction in what order to use them or how long the duration of each chord is.
Go on - give it a go.
Roger
Hi James,
It seems to me that the "Sanctimonious Profiteering Fear Mongers" are the ones with the power the whole world over. Time for the ordinary Joe's to start a revolution perhaps.
Good song and well recorded. Thank you.
Roger
