I used to want to sing as close to the original artist as possible. I thought it was important. As I moved on, I realized, like the others here, that I really don't care if I sound like the original. As a matter of fact, when I am learning a new song, I first listen to the original, then quickly move on to all the covers of that song I can find. I like to think the mixture of all these different covers with the original gives me my unique sound. It works for me. Make it your own. People will like it.

Re: Outside Package. It`s whats inside that counts. (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
People with little or no knowledge of a particular item can't see what all the fuss is about. It's a common thing. Some people love boats. All I can see is the great expense of taking one out. I'm just not interested in boats. It's nice to have different opinions on any given subject or item of interest.

I don't have a good answer for you, but I do wish you the best of luck. I do know that sitting around and waiting for something to pop up is not the way to go. You have to go out and sell yourself personally.

Re: What was your biggest single aid to improving? (24 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Just being able to have lots of time on my hands since I retired has done the trick. I still have a long way to go, but I am slowly getting there. Lots of practice is the key.

I have the other side of this problem. I have always had a decent voice, now if I could only play guitar better while singing, I might stand a chance.

Re: Change of Venue (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Change is good and I feel you will benefit greatly from your decision, as hard as it may be. I have always felt that people who are willing to relocate, due to the present day difficulty of finding good work, are on the best track for life changes. Or you can choose to sit where you are and suffer. You made a wise choice my friend. You will not regret it. The best of luck to you and your family.

To be clear, as it seemed to elude some of the folks above, Chordie's songbook is on the My Songbook tab at the top of the Chordie web site. Chordie does not produce and is not liable for third party apps that claim to be Chordie friendly. It's a shame the fellow above lost his songbook, but he got several suggestions of what to use to re-export the songs from his Chordie songbook.
I think it's important to take this opportunity to make the tangentially related note that Chordie hosts precisely NONE of the songs. Chordie allows songs hosted elsewhere to be edited, modified, and saved to a songbook ON THIS PAGE. We do not, to the best of my knowledge, sponsor or promote any Apple or Android app for exporting songbooks to tablets for later viewing.
This is exactly why I have been trying to hookup Chordie and Linkesoft Songbook for years. They compliment one another. I talked to Linkesoft and asked them to check with Chordie about advertising their product on Chordie and they sounded interested but have not heard anything yet. Someone needs to show this product to per and get them together. I can't speak highly enough about this product. And, no I don't work for them or have any other reason to boast of their product, other than the fact it is an excellent way to keep your songs in order digitally.

I use Dropbox to load my songs to Songbook on IPAD. It's free. You just copy chordpro files to Dropbox then it gives you the option to open the file in Sonkbook.
