Hi,

If you have the MP3, you can try the free software from Fender to work out the majority of it:

^ Neo is correct. You are limited to the number of songs in a songbook, but there is no limit to the number of songbooks you have. You can just make another songbook. (Pssst - I'll tell you a secret. After you make a new book, you can merge them to beat the "system". Don't tell anybody big_smile )

I download the ones I like and put them in DropBox, then sync that with OnSong on my iPad; I have around 1500 songs (not all from Chordie) - it saves having an internet connection everywhere and is quite portable.

Cheers

I am currently at 99 songs in my Songbook and it will not let me add any more. Is there a limit or have I run into the Jandle mysterious problem?

Welcome to the forums - I'm not an expert, but I believe 99 songs is the upper limit of a song book; you may want to add a new songbook, and add new songs to that.

Cheers

Neo the term you used is very offensive  to many. It is called ajaw harp, mouth harp, Ozark harp or juice harp.

Apologies - didn't mean to offend anyone - I'll edit my post.

I apologize for my singing and playing - it's really hard for me to play and sing at the same time - not being a musician.

I think you're selling yourself short ....

Neo outstanding. For me it is a sad song that has an optimistic outlook while still been sad and yet still reflecting on good times, which makes me feel happy listening to it.
I enjoyed your video. playing and singing good to see and hear you back on your song writing horse.

Thanks, glad you liked it - I have a few unfinished songs I should put some chords to ...

Cheers

Had a listen to all of them; as far as songs go, the third one (How can I resist) had the best balance and mix, although I did enjoy the Jaw Harp in the second song ...

The wayback machine archive of Chordie from 2002 shows no forum, and no log in ...

That's cool, the Forum shows up in 2005 and the "familiar" format and logo in 2006. There should be a few of us from about that time still hanging around, I was a little late as I jumped over here when OLGA folded their tents under legal pressure (for you old timers that remember OLGA).   smile

I have a backup of OLGA somewhere ....

I wanted to write a happy song, and even called it 'Happiness', but it ended up being a bit sad:

HappinessRichard Mortimer


Intro: G D C Em




[G]Happiness,[D] [C] you used to be my [Em]friend


We'd [C]sing and dance and [G]laugh out loud, [Em]until the day would [D]end




[G]Happiness,[D] [C] we'd always shared good[Em] times


S[C]mile and joke, [G]talk about folks and sp[Em]end not a single d[D]ime


[Am]Then you took [Gm]leave of me


On a[Dm] day I didn't [Am7@5]forsee


[Dm7]Took leave of me


[G]And I miss you, [E7]I wish you'd come [Am]back[Em7-5]


[G]Happiness, [D] [C]where did you go?[Em]


W[C]hy did you [G]leave so [Em]unexpected[D]ly



[G]Happiness, [D] [C]you're like a long lost [Em]friend


w[C]ho brings me a [G]smile, thinking about the [Em]old times we [D]had


[G]Some days I[D] see you, I [C]try to wave h[Em]ello


But [C]time goes by, and [G]so do I, and you [Em]lost your [D]glow


[Am]Then you took [Gm]leave of me


On a[Dm] day I didn't [Am7@5]forsee


[Dm7]Took leave of me


[G]And I miss you, [E7]I wish you'd come [Am]back[Em7-5]


[G]Happiness,[D] [C] you used to be my [Em]friend


We'd [C]sing and dance and [G]laugh out loud, [Em]until the day would [D]end


[G]Happiness, [D] [C]I know you'll be back one [Em]day


I[C] look forward to [G]telling you tales from [Em]when you [D]went [G]away

thanks Neo. i wrote it as a song, it took 3 sittings on different days which is why it gets a bit acerbic towards the end

Ha! That's funny, because as I read it - I was singing it in my head smile

Classical Guitar wrote:

Most of them I play from memory and some that people request if I do not already know it than Ican bring up on my ipad but it is rare that I have to use it or sheet music. When I do a concert I know all the ones I will play.

That's very impressive - my memory is shocking these days and I always rely on my iPad for the chord sequences, which is bad because then you don't memorize it and it's a bit of a vicious circle.

Classical Guitar wrote:

I have done concerts from over 10,000  to as few as 16

I always found the concert for fewer people were more nerve wracking than the bigger ones, as it was a more intimate relationship with the listeners - although I've never played to 10,000 - I think maybe 2,000 or 3,000 was my biggest audience at a local music festival.

Classical Guitar wrote:

I practice for 3 hours most days so knowing them is from that.

I'm lucky if I get three hours a week!! I get jealous every time you mention that smile

Thanks for sharing some info about your life - it's fascinating to hear someone who has done so much ...

Cheers
