(with apologies to the others who have posted - I haven't listened to any yet, except Zurf's "Smoke on the water", and even that was only a small sample, but I will get to them and comment!!!)

Mmm weird, because I accepted the google translations ^^

I checked my settings in FB, and it said it would auto-translate to English (I'm guessing where possible), and some of the people whom I'm friends with write in Hokkien and Mandarin - I get the Chinese symbols with a link at the end to translate ... but they are comments on posts, rather than the posts themselves, maybe that's the difference .. ??

Cheers

I got it a couple of weeks ago, but now my job has gone, it may need to be sold to get some money sad

I also want to talk about a Facebook page I created :
https://www.facebook.com/CurtisKrumm.Music/

On this page, I only write in french, because I'm Belgian (but half American and proud of my roots big_smile), but Facebook told me it's gonna be translated automatically.

It didn't translate for me ... sad

I just started chordie again and added a song yesterday.  Today I tried to add another song to my songbook and I am shifted to forum.  I have read  all the older posts and tried some of the solutions shich do not work.  What to do?

I'm not an expert on this site, but do you have cookies enabled, which would keep you logged in??  (or, techically, you log in again, via the cookie, but appears as if you don't log out) - also, if you do log in, check any boxes that say "keep me logged in" ...

I certainly agree with Neo about Elixir coated strings, although I prefer their NanoWeb 80/20s on my acoustics (just a little brighter).

Hmmm, I'll have to try them next time, but this week I changed my strings for the first time since 2016 ... yikes

OMG, neo. i don't change my strings often and i have 6 unopened packs in my drawer, but i couldn't abuse my beauties by nor restringing for 2 years, the sweaty fingers alone would make them black and toneless in 6 months! see, i told you i don't change them often

The Elixirs still sound good after that 18 months ... this was the last video I did with those 'old strings' on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOu1GymPpK0

Let me know if they sound 'dead' to you ... ?? I'm really impressed with the Elixir strings!!! smile

Hi everyone, I want to start playing a guitar but I don't have any idea with any of these topics. I might need some help to decide which brand to buy since I don't have much of a budget. I have been searching online and found several reviews like musicadvisor.com/?s=bass+guitar
It would be a great help to hear some opinions for those who really plays. I am open to any suggestions. smile Thanks

Are you going acoustic or electric??

Evening everybody, here it is near 7 pm on Thursday night of February 8th 2018, and I thought I would let you all know how much I am enjoying my Gibson guitar. I am just about ready to put the third set of strings on, which I will do tomorrow. I guess that tells ya something, don’t it! What a player, and what sound! And it’s so light! If I knew how to post pictures I would so I will ask my wife to give me a crash course and I will try to post some. I just wanted to let you all know I was enjoying the guitar to the fullest and to say hello!       Your friendTrevor Calhoun.

That's good news!! As far as strings go, I always use the Elixer Polyweb coated strings; they seem to last forever:

As far as posting images goes, have a quick look at the BBCode page which shows you haw to do it:

I wonder if it really changes anything, or if it's more for eye appeal? Ovation's multiple sound holes in the upper bout are another oddity.

I think it's just visual ...

Cheers Richard. I had a listen to both tracks thought the second one was better, Were they done with wave samples?

They actually start around here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRpniJY … mp;index=1

The early ones were done with "Beatwave", there's a review article here, mostly when I was on the way to work and on the train ...

The later ones (and the ones you listened to), are done with Novation Launchpad on the iPad.
