Welcome to Chordie Guy !!

Wander down to the Chat Section and introduce yourself to the Community, you'll find most folks are friendly and welcoming (and even at times helpful) and we are all on this musical journey together.

You show your location as LA.... is that Los Angeles or Louisana?? Either way you likely have a Chordian somewhere near you, we're everywhere !!

Those are the ones I use, and only good up to about 24" away then forgetaboutit !  You might try fiddling with your screen resoulution and set it to a higher number to sharpen the edges a bit.... the downside is sometimes the icons get really tiny.  My standard Monitor is 27 inches which is OK for a desktop, but I do have to don the glasses to read the fine print on packaging and such.  Getting old bites !! 

So how'd it go Bill ?  Bet you're busy munchin' to get yer strength up again.  Two days of no food makes you wonder how some folks in other parts of the World get by don't it?

Hope the results were OK and no troubles on the horizon !! 

Kinda " old school..... but then I'm a Old Guy" and just too old to be carrying that backpack full of binders full of paper in addition to the rest of my gear.  Not anti-Tech, but out here on the "edge of Civilization" power and cloud are not always available (not to mention when I go out of town there are few people and fewer cell towers).

Jim,  Well I just made a folder in my Documents labeled Sheet Music to start with, and added folders to that sub-directory (a folder for each artist/band) and when "gathering songs" I choose Print to File and select .pdf as the finished file type.  Once there on the local drive, it is easy to use the "search" feature to locate songs within the main directory by title (providing you use the title as the "save-as" filename & include sub-directories in the search criteria).

You can copy each song to a separate folder for "set lists" or whatever, and copy that to a thumb drive and stick it in your guitar case when heading out for a gig.  Any device with a charged battery and usb port will let you display the tunes to share or whatever. Not much out there that won't open a .pdf and display it properly and no web needed !!

Personally I don't keep a songbook here, but rather on my local drive.  That way I don't have to be connected to the Net to have all my music at hand wherever I may be.

Welcome to Chordie by the way !!

Well only 2 weeks to go and finally (but later than expected), the Concert/Demonstration schedule has been added to the site.  My planning usually hinges on who's playing when as I only attend one of the two days and as Beamer said five hours per day is a fairly small window for a show that has been going on for as long as this one.

John had a long life and career...  RIP. 

Howdy Bill !  I used something called Frisket Film on my Ovation and it is holding up nicely as a scratch guard.  It is clear (gloss or matte) .002 thick poly, with a low tack adhesive which allows it to be removed without residue, and won't harm finishes it is put on.  I found mine in a local Craft store and it's most common use is as a mask that can be cut into a stencil or to cover areas when adding detail to graphics ie: airbrushing.  Standard sheet is something like 9X12 inches and may be available as single sheets (as mine was) or in low count packaging.  I seem to remember spending something around a buck/sheet, but caught a 50% off sale so thought it was worth trying..... that was like five years ago and it is not worn through nor peeled around the edges yet !! 

No holes to drill.  They intend the cord to just exit the sound hole, and then you can route it over the strap button and under the strap to act as a strain relief...... what you do with it when not plugged in (?) I have no idea.  It's not like you'd just stuff it into the guitar, and a 15 foot coil of wire hanging around (to trip over) would be trying to my patience (I think).  Thankfully it does seem easy to remove when not in use, so maybe that's the trick.

Usually stuff that has been returned for some reason.... like a sloppy setup or uneven finish color and such.
