I don't know about the S series (maybe specific to the UK) but current Blueridge models start around $500 and can go up to $2000. You might have found a real deal!

Re: guitar chords (5 replies, posted in Electric)
On the top of the webpage there are some tabs, click on Resources, it will then show a bunch of links. Click on Large Guitar Chord Chart. All the chords will be shown, then click on any chord and all the alternatives will show. The only thing missing is which finger goes on which string. Also on the Resource tab there is Other Guitar Sites. I have found chordbook.com to be helpful for alternative chord fingerings.

Re: Let's do it, let's fall in love! - Ukulele (6 replies, posted in Song requests)
Lizzie,
Type Ella Fitzgerald in the Chordie search. Click on Ella in the drop down and you will go to the main Ella page, and all song links will be there, including Let's Do It. You can then change to Uke by left clicking the drop down option in the Tuning button ( way to right side of screen) and pick which Uke tuning. Depending on how well you know the bride and groom, you could also do the next song on the screen, Makin' Whoopee. Hope this helps

Re: A strange question. "ROGER" that. (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
From Answer.com
It comes from the shorthand of early telegraphers. R meant Yes I understand and W meant I will comply with your instructions. In the military phonetic alphabet R was Roger and W was Wilco. R currently Romeo but the British used Roger in World War 2.
R is a standard reply meaning 'Received' in Morse Code and flashing light communications.
Haven't heard Wilco being used for a W. W is Whiskey or William or sometimes even Washington. Wilco is military short hand for "Will Comply." In the Navy, the only person authorized to use Wilco is the Commanding Officer of the unit the order was sent to.

Re: I need some GREAT "ON THE ROAD MUSIC" Do you have suggestions? (14 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
On long drives by myself, I grab every Little Feat cd. Allman Bros is a good choice, too, Southpaw. How about Derek & the Dominos. Why not try some Canadians; Sarah MacLachlan, Loreena McKennitt, Joni, Neil, etc

Re: Strings for Martins (16 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I have Martin M-130 Silk and Steel on my Takamine G330 and love them. I guess they would be considered light (.0115 - .047) but they feel like extra light. Depending on the song or style, I change picks. There's a big difference in tone with different picks.

Re: Tips for proper form for barre F chord? (And other barre chords) (21 replies, posted in Electric)
I'm a "long time listener, first time caller". I haven't played in decades and am just starting again. In regards to the Bensonp tip about learning 1st position chords with the 234 fingers, I would like to repectfully disagree (just to show my Irish). While it makes sense if you're going to transition to barre chords, if you're strumming the 1st position chords, the pinky finger is the only link to the sus4 and the 7th and also the "walk down" on the low (E A )strings.
I like to keep my index finger in contact the G string as much as possible. Every instruction book or fingering chart has the index finger on the G string for the E and the D, but not for the A. If you play the A chord with the index finger on the G, bird finger on the D and ring finger on the B, all you have to do is slide/pivot the index finger. (Play Gloria by Them and see how easy it is).
If you're using the barre for electric rock or blues, you still use the pinky to do the chunka-chunka Chuck Berry lick.
Anyway, I think I got carried away.

Re: Tuning theory on fretboard (5 replies, posted in Music theory)
I'm just starting to play again after many years away and I still have trouble with scales. I think if you look at a piano keyboard, you'll see the answer. I guess while there is a "key" of B# and E# or Cb and Fb, when you look at the keyboard, these notes don't exist. That's my thoughts, anyway.

Re: Tuning (7 replies, posted in Electric)
Check the nut on the tuning post. If it's loose, the post can wobble a bit. Snug (just snug-do not overtighten!) the nut down with a 10mm nut-driver.
