Don't think a. Day goes by without me picking up my Takamine EN 20 . I used to covet my mates Gibson but he now thinks my Tak is the best sounding guitar in the area where I live. This guitar has made me want to learn more

I love my Takamine's I have a G72ae and a small one also great sounding from both.

It may be better too slow down for a blues tune and add some chords in the 7ths.

Hi,
I have really enjoyed using Chordie over the last several years but the new format has me befuddled. The print and.  grid options (side, bottom or no grid} appear to be nonexistent.  Also, where the chords are inserted within a lyric word; the chord appears above as it should, but there is a large gap in the word. These are the only problems I have detected so far but I haven't been able to do much with it. I hate to play the geezer card but at 71 I'm not much of a techno-cat. Hope I have this in the right place.
Thank you. Wayne

I am still finding things also it is taking time.

Actually the term multi-scale has been trademarked..... but then for all I know so has fan-fret..... the more common is Baritone Guitar.  Long scale and the unusual fret angles do a lot in keeping the intonation correct for all the strings at any given tuning.  The perpendicular fret is usually around 7 with scales extending up to 30".  Heavier strings and a more bracing, and sometimes 7+ strings.  The more common tuning is perfect 4th at BEADF#B although there is no "standard tuning" for the Baritone Guitar.

Several manufacturers make them although finding one hanging on the wall of your local music store is rare.  I've only seen a couple, handled one Breedlove..... and with the unusual tuning couldn't get my brain around fingering even the most basic chords.  I need a lot more studying of the notes on the fretboard and chord building with inversions before I would consider owning one..... but I will say in the hands of the likes of Don Ross or Andy McKee they do sing!

Thanks for the info Doug.

Hi mojo,that was a good try but its a hard song too fingerpick. I think you would do well with Erics crossroads slowed down or before you accuse me song.
