This is very strange!!

Last night I could not see the photo and I went in to 'edit to check that Joe had entered it OK (which he had) and when I came out I could see the photo of a dog lying in a guitar case. I was thinking it had been a temporary glitch on my lap top until I saw everyone else's message this morning.

I just tried posting the photo myself and I could see it fine on 'preview' but it was not there when I 'submitted' it. I then deleted my post and guess what? I can no longer see the photo in the original post.

This is weird!!

I have a mid 70's Melody 12er and I use one of my Jim Dunlop 83CB capos when I have a need with no problem. I have to add that she does have a zero fret and an incredible low action which may make it more suitable.

Yes Sammy, very easily.

Click the white square box to the left of the song title (or titles) that you want to move. Go down to the bottom of the page. To the left of the box with 'move' written in it select which songbook you want to move the song(s) to. Then click the green 'move' in the box and Hey Presto, it is done.

I am lucky, I never have to practice as I teach between one and four hours a day so I get a lot of playing done as a matter of course. Then again, I am geriatric and retired so I have a good excuse for not practicing but you, Young Zurf, have no excuse. Get your finger out and get them to work on that guitar of yours.

I have been following your songwriting tread with interest. I hope that it gets completed as, to the best of my knowledge, it has only been done once before (albeit slightly differently) in 2008.

It started here: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9548

and finished here: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9837

and the finished song is still on Myspace if you follow the link.


OK it was my idea, which is why it comes to mind; it was fun to do but a lot of work and much private communication to get everything together.

Good Luck, I have my finger crossed for another Chordie collaboration.

Roger

P.S. There is also a third post, a very long one, explaining the ins and outs of getting it done: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9844
and if you read that you are a real glutton for punishment lol


** I just noticed that the second link listed was the same as the first.... 'Senior Moment'. I have amended it now **

It is working fine on my laptop using Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer.

If you are having difficulties please give details of what you are trying to use it on. There are so many different ways of accessing the internet these days that you have to be more specific with what you are using, what software and browser, to enable Per to resolve these issues.

Selso's question has reminded me of one of my queries. I was brought up with the following definitions:

To me an artist is a guy/gal who draws, paints or sculpts.

A person who performs (be it acting, dancing or music) is an artiste.

The pronunciation and spelling is different, but I have noticed on TV and in magazines/papers this definition does not seem to be used much.

Has it been officially changed? Is it due to laziness and auto spell-checking? Or are youngsters just not taught correct English these days?

Could it be as simple as a screen resolution problem forcing the boxes out of sight? Please try holding the 'ctrl' button and pressing '-' and see if it brings it back in view.

Hi Ken,

Great to see you about; as Ark stated a rather dark view, but a sign of the times. Only the bad makes the news, the good is ignored and that does not help our perspective on life. You are absolutely right we "DON'T WANT IT, DON'T NEED IT, DON'T WANT IT".

I hope all is well with you.

Hi Amy,

I have been looking into getting to you and I am afraid that it needs two stop-overs and if:
I leave Faro at 11:30, I get to Dublin at 14:25;
I then leave Dublin at 16:00 to get to New York at 23:30;
then I leave New York at 02:40 to get to Syracuse at 04:07 (local time 23:07).

That is 17.5 hours travelling without having to worry about getting to yours from there............

See you in August.

If yours had a slanted bridge PU then it must have had a single and these all have humbuckers which cannot be slanted. Personally I like the SSH set up better than the SSS.

Nice looking guitars; better get putting those dimes away. smile

Doug rest assured I am not getting addicted. I only have 4 electric and 4 acoustic guitars plus a uke, mandolin and violin. So I am well with normal tolerances. lol

Looks like I am going to have to learn some Brad Paisley and definitely his 'Alcohol' song for Chordiefest IV.

Sorry for your loss Ken.

You spoke about Steve to me at Chordiestock and how he hoped to get all his buddies together for a last party and for you to sing for him, I am sorry he paddled away up that last river before it could be arranged.

Condolences to you and his family and I hope you and Jen are OK,

Roger

Congratulations Jim!  That is one great guitar you have there, and the next thing you know you and Amy will be playing duets..... for many years to come.

Here's a little inspiration:    www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WrnMQu8XWI

Happy NGD!

I did not know you were that talented Doug. Great duet!
