I woke up to this news today, sad, but he had a good innings (82) ... my memories of childhood have him in "Smokey and the bandit", and "Cannonball Run" - two movies that entrenched my love of cars .... RIP

Not sure if this will be any help, but when I'm writing out my song sheets (in ChordPro format), I generally use the 'define' function to add obscure chord fingering or voicing, so for example the D9no5 at the fifth fret would be:

{define: D9no5@3 base-fret 3 frets x 3 2 3 1 0 }


which should draw the correct chord format.

You can read more at the ChordPro site: https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/Direc … efine.html

I've also written a little on-line app to help with the chords: http://neophytte.mine.nu/chord/

I'm also not sure if the Chordie site 'respects' defines (I generally write the songfiles for my local applications; Song Sheet Generator on the Mac/PC and OnSong on the iPad).

Hope that wasn't too off-topic, and it helps ....

Cheers

Slang and dialects have been a life-long fascination of mine. Every language has them, but English is so wide-spread around the globe that it seems to have many more variations .. all of them very interesting and enjoyable.

Strewth, we've got enough slang to take you beyond the black stump and back .... !!!

Richard, I had never heard of these guys before and will make it a point to look them up as I like their sound very much. What does "dudded" mean? (I read that in the comments below the video).

Sneaky last minute entry, "If ...", one of my original songs:

WOW! That's some list.

Although one of the songs I have to question.

I play 39 by Queen and I don't recognize the line: " No one listened to your plea's you created me."  It's not in any version I've ever seen.

Good pick up; I looked through the file and it was actually the hidden signature of the person who interpreted the version I have - fortunately, there is still a number in the title of the song ... smile

Cheers

NIce one Neo ..... sounding good.  What sort of setup is that new head mic your using?

Thank you - the headset I tried last month was a cheapie from China; I thought it sounded OK at the time, but when I reviewed the videos later, it was of poor quality - so I've gone back to using my Rode Lav+, and just attached it to the headset so it brings the microphone closer to my mouth, and _seems_ to get a better balance between voice and guitar. (although, with one mic, and no way to monitor it, it's still a bit of hit and miss ...)
