Unfortunately the picture you sent me Gavin was only 500kb and when it is shown at this size it is rather grainy.
Anyway here is the guitar in question, very similar to my mid 70's Melody 12er but hardly surprising as Melody made guitars for Eko

I normally use nylon .67mm ones for two reasons. They are flexible enough for me to both strum and pick and they are bright orange, so even if I do drop one and it goes and it runs under something to hide, I can easily find it;

Re: Chords at the end of lines (6 replies, posted in About Chordie)
If we look at this version of the carol: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.r … e-faithful
and press the chopro button you will see this:
[G]O come, all ye [D]faithful. [G]Joy-[D]ful [G]and [Am]tri-[G]um-[D]phant,
[Em]O come [D]ye, [A]O [D]come ye [G]to [D]Be-[A7]th-[D]lehem.
[G]Come [D7]and [G]be[D7]hold [G]Him,
[D]born [G]the [Em]King [Am]of [D]angels:
[G]O come [D]let [G]us [D7]a[G]dore Him,
[G]O come [D]let [G]us [D7]a[G]dore [D]Him,
[G]O [Am]come [G]let [Am]us [A7]a[D]dore [G]Hi-[Am]m,
[G]Chri-[D7]st [G]the [G]Lord.
It is written with the chords in the place they appear in the song and when the proper formatting is added it should look like this:
O Come All Ye FaithfulToby Keith
[G]O come, all ye [D]faithful. [G]Joy-[D]ful [G]and [Am]tri-[G]um-[D]phant,
[Em]O come [D]ye, [A]O [D]come ye [G]to [D]Be-[A7]th-[D]lehem.
[G]Come [D7]and [G]be[D7]hold [G]Him,
[D]born [G]the [Em]King [Am]of [D]angels:
[G]O come [D]let [G]us [D7]a[G]dore Him,
[G]O come [D]let [G]us [D7]a[G]dore [D]Him,
[G]O [Am]come [G]let [Am]us [A7]a[D]dore [G]Hi-[Am]m,
[G]Chri-[D7]st [G]the [G]Lord.
So pressing the chopro button will show you where the chords should be and if it is any different when you look at the normally formatted version something at your end is preventing it.

My new girl friend Zurf........................... 
No I lie!! It is my 24 year old granddaughter, Emma.
It will never be used as: a/ I do not want to damage it and
b/ it is made of metal and far too stiff for me

All the songs I have looked at are OK. Please give examples of the songs that are troublesome.
Have you changed anything with your computer lately, for example new PC/laptop, new Operating system or changed resolution setting?
You could try clearing your cookies as that sometimes helps get rid of gremlins in the system.

Great to see that you are not letting your debilitating illness get the upper hand and it seems as though you are getting tremendous support from 'SWAMBO' (She Who Must Always Be Obeyed) .

Re: songbook (3 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi Barry,
It means that you have 100 songs in your songbook. That is the maximum permitted (although I do know some that have more than that ). Start a new songbook and you will have no problems putting them in there.

Nothing wrong with your voice apart from needing to loosen up a little as Phill said earlier. It gets easier the more you do it.
Great to hear you bringing your songs to life. (A song ain't a song until it is sung )

Re: Google ads and others on search (14 replies, posted in About Chordie)
A friend of mine inadvertently downloaded malware and although it was relatively easy to get rid of, he still had problems with adverts popping up. I found that it had infected Internet Explorer and had to revert to the original settings to clear it. It is possible that something similar has happened to you.

Yes it can be set for alternative tunings, but I have not yet learnt enough about standard tunings to want to get into that.
The only downfall with it is that there is not a proper instruction manual with it but one can be downloaded from their website.

Re: New Gadget Day (18 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
It is a great addition. OK it is not that cheap, but tuning and keeping in tune is an absolute doddle.
It is also fun to de-tune it just to watch the tuners turn themselves

The 'Add Comment' and 'Add Video' was disabled about a year or so ago when it was used as a loophole for spammers to post adverts with the songs. Until something can be done to curb the spammers it will remain disabled. The edit (improve song) function is still working.
