Re: Getting started with jazz (5 replies, posted in Acoustic)
All good advice above,if you want to play jazz guitar you gotta study really hard and listen to some George Benson too while your at it theres no easy way just a lot of dedication and hard work,there are some who are just natural but they are the exception not the rule good luck

I had issues with other site too with IE. I have not had any problems with Firefox so it works for me. To each their own. Maybe it will magically go away. LOL
A really good alternative to Firefox and (especially) IE is Google Chrome. I started using this browser the day it came out and haven't stopped since. Nifty little thing...

Re: Recording programmes (26 replies, posted in Recording)
Hi mjjane and welcome officially to Chordie I use my video cam when i'm jamming in the park or sometimes at home it comes in handy because it records visually what you play so you can remember the "feel" like strum pattern or chord position its a handy little tool.Audacity or any audio program is limited by how much knowledge or experience the user has and what you hear on the playback is what you sound like to others and it will always sound a little strange to you till you feel comfortable with the sound of your voice but what you hear is your true voice

Re: PC FREEZE ON CHORDIE (17 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Pix thanks for the reminder I think I will do that from now on and thanks Ark I should have followed your advice the first time because Chordie froze three times this morning on me and yesterday I couldn't even log in for several hours but I know Per is aware of this and is working on a solution so not to worry and thanks again for the nudge

Hey Russell, I run the same set up (vista & IE) I've had the same problems over the past few weeks but it seems to have improved recently...
Along the same lines as Arkadys advice but for vista, When it freezes just hit Alt & F4 together to manually close the page and prevent having to reboot.

Re: Recording programmes (26 replies, posted in Recording)
Audacity can make your song into an mp3 and it can be uploaded or emailed all of the instructions are in the videos and a karaoke machine can be used as a source for a mixer that you can plug an electric guitar into or a microphone and with the right adapter into your pc,you can also get a myspace artist or band account free and upload your songs there if you wish

Actually I have. I borrowed the sound hole pickup from church guitar just to try it out. Played it and mike through my karaoke machine with a little echo. Sounded cool. Got to get me a pickup. I'll have to get more comfortable with it and learn how to share a sample.

rocnfitz I know the chords, if you dont have any luck locating them or if someone cannot provide a link I can chart it out for you there are only about 4 or 5 chords and it modulates but the chords are not that hard so hang on a bit and see if someone else can find them first

Re: Recording programmes (26 replies, posted in Recording)
The stereo headphone jack is an output source not input its for listening to music without useing the speakers, if you have left and right rca jack "ins" you could use a "Y" chord that has a 1/4 inch female plug that you plug your guitar or microphone into then you would need another "Y"chord that has a 1/8 inch mono plug on one end and 2 rca jacks on the other end this plug would go to your left and right "outs" on your stereo to the back of your computers soundcard microphone input, and the stereo would act as a power source with volume,bass and treble control

Russell,
Thanks for your reply and patients. I'm sure I will find the answer to this last question after doing the downloads but you are so darn handy.Last Question (for now) is this. Could I record from the stereo to the computer by using the stereo headphone jack and the computer line in jack.

Re: Recording programmes (26 replies, posted in Recording)
yes with Audacity you can with the right chords record to your computer you will need a "Y" adapter its a common chord sold in radio shack or any electronics department of most stores like walmart or target as far as hooking your stereo you can if it has left and right outs (rca jacks) and if it has left and right "ins" you can send the signal back thru your stereo speakers in addition if your stereo has a guitar input (1/4 in jack) you can record from your stereo to your computer useing the left and right "outs" I have 8 video tutorials on the link at the bottom of this post (mediafire) and there's a folder named "Audacity" if you click on it several folders will display I would recommend 1 thru 4 to get you started,just click on the number 1 folder and a download page will appear click "download and select "save" to a place where you can find it again like "my documents" just click on the video and follow the instructions and if you need any further help give a holler

Technology has passed me up! My parents had some old cylinder type records,I actually remember operating a Victrola with 78 rpm records,later 45rpm singles, 33 1/3 rpm albums,AM radio, FM radio,8 track tapes, cassette tapes, Beta VCR, VHS VCR,CDs and finally DVDs. After that I'm lost.
Back to subject! I think I am understanding that, if I download something like Audacity and I have the cables to do so,I can hook my guitar (and or mike), or stereo to my computer and record to and from my computer. Is that correct?

Re: Thought I'd share this link on free recording software (1 replies, posted in Recording)
Looks like you found a treasure trove of freeware the Krystal seem like a good program but you will need a converter to render the wav format to mp3 for upload most wav files consume a lot of megabytes and are difficult to upload because of the size but there is a free audio converter that can render it to a mp3 in no time without loss of quality I have one and I will provide the information this is a good find thanks for the heads up ps. I found this link for beethink its the freeware program I mentioned, Doug Smith passed this information on to me heres the link
