Most of the 60's songs from my youth and many of the songs I regularly play with my students I have no problem with, but I have difficulty remembering new ones even though I eat plenty of fish. (My mum, God rest her soul, always told me that fish is brain food 
). So I too am a slave to sheets of paper.

What has been the response from Per?
I assume you guys have read the previous posts and taken note of this from my last one:
If this fails then you will have to contact Per, the site owner, who understands the working of Chordie better than anyone. You will have to let him know your operating system (Win Vista, 7, 8 etc) your browser (I.E. 8, 9, Firefox etc) and give him exact details of what is happening ('not working' is not a good enough description to fix any problem on anything). You can contact Per at: admin@chordie.com.
Please keep us posted of developments in this thread.

That really sucks Jeff, fingers crossed that it turns up soon.
Roger
Well wishing thoughts and prayers coming your way. You certainly have the right attitude to beat this.
Roger
Hi Chrissy and welcome to Chordie,
You said "your songs" so if you are wanting to add some of your own original songs to your songbook, I am sorry but you cannot. You can go to any song listed under 'Artists' or 'Songs' and click on the 'Songbook add' to put it in your songbook.
I have no idea what the man on the tape is that you mentioned 
If I have misunderstood your problem please post again.
Roger
Congratulations from me too.
Roger
Females are often under-rated and overlooked as musicians. Looking forward to the videos.
Roger
Apart from the brass fittings she looks a fine gal (I have a thing about yellow fittings ). I am sure she will play just great. Happy NGD!!!

I am with Toots on this, however it is not a job for the inexperienced (by the way it is usually easier to remove the nut and then remove material from the bottom of it. You do not have to worry about getting one groove too deep or too wide for the strings this way). So I would suggest you take it to a luthier and have him work on the nut for you.
I so love guitars like my 70's 12er that has a zero fret for the strings to run across; you always have the lowest action possible at the nut, but sadly I do not know of any modern guitars have them.
Roger
Write to Per, the site owner, at admin@chordie.com Let him know your operating system and web browser and details of your problem.

When this happened to my 70's Melody 12er:
I repaired it with this adhesive (advertised to be stronger than the wood itself and my own tests concur) with no problems:
I also used the same to repair this badly damages Ibenez 6er:
Both guitars are fine after 3 years regular use.

Thanks guys. I did not video the show buy plenty of parents did so I will try and get my hands on some.

I had a blast last night, without playing a guitar or singing a note.................... my students put on a show for their friends and family. We went to a local restaurant and had a meal, cleared the tables and then the kids let rip.
'The Babes', 8 year old Lia and 10 year old Gustavo opened the evening followed by 'The Imps', Raquel, Anna Teresa and Daniels (13 year olds). Then Kirill a 14 year old Russian boy who is an incredible lead guitarist (backed by Howard the music school owner) and finally 'The Songbirds', 3 girls 15 to 18 finished the evening. For the final number they did The Imagined Dragon's song 'It's Time' and the Imps joined them to do the 'foot stamp and clap' routine from the acoustic version of the song which only the Imps and I know was going to happen and make a great finale to the evening.
Roger
Great to see Chordians getting together. Oh to win the lottery and be able to join you . Dream on!!
Roger
They are mainly young people and really liked the reggae "Mary's Boy Child" and Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody".
I am really looking forward to these rehearsals every Friday and better still the show, when it arrives, which will be help in a cinema with an audience of about 300.
There will be some videos of the event and I will certainly let you know when they are available to see.
Roger
KLJ, you sent me a message "The auto scroll changes to stop, but does not scroll." but this is best kept public in case anyone else has the same problem. There have been no other complaints about the auto-scroll so it is almost certainly a problem on your PC and not with Chordie.
Have you tried jet60's suggestion? Clearing out the cookies can solve a myriad for niggles (I have other good reports about CCleaner, so that might be worth a try).

For me it still does work, I have just tried it.
I take that you click on 'auto-scroll' and nothing happens but does the box change to 'stop' or does it stay as 'auto-scroll'?
Roger
Many of you know that I belong (and help run) a Rock Choir. I am part of a four piece ban; lead, rhythm (me), bass guitars and keyboard and this Christmas we are performing a gig with a local Salvation Army brass band. As far as we know the Salvation Army has never performed with any other organisation so it will probably be a unique experience. We had the first rehearsal last night - 20 of our vocalists, our four piece band. the S.A. drummer and 8 of the their brass section (6 were missing).
Wow!! What an evening. OK the first number was a bit hit and miss, but then we jelled and with each song we got better. I am sure that this Christmas show is going to be one to remember.
Roger
Congratulations to both you guys and your better halves.
Roger
That seems an awfully complicated way of doing it.
From the properties you can highlight and copy the address, paste it onto your Chordie message, put [img]at the front and[/img] at the end. Job done.
Roger
Hi Chris and welcome,
I am a little confused there are no quotation marks in your user name, not here or in your profile. I guess you mean the apostrophe you have either side of Big Daddy, but they must have been there when you first registered as you are not able to change your username. So are you saying that you have inadvertently re-registered with a new name and you cannot use a songbook you made under a different name or something different?
Sorry I am a simple guy so you will have to explain exactly what you want help with.
Roger
Welcome back Rick, sorry about your mum, she sound like she was a wonderful lady.
Roger
Hi BCW and welcome to Chordie,
Clicking on the arrowed button will do the trick.
Roger
Never heard of a six string bass.
The 6 string bass has been round for a whole. Fender have made one since 1961 and when Jet Harris left the Shadows to go with Tony Meehan he played one for his bass instrumentals. Diamonds being the best known.
