If you go into 'Resources' at the bottom of the list is 'Change settings (instrument/tuning)'. Click on here and you can chose your instrument so that the correct chords are shown.
Also chord change can now be saved.

This is bad. Is there a specialist or a doctor that could diagnose this health condition? I can't think of anyone that specializes in finger nails.
The nails that I have lost have all been through injury, hitting with hammers and other instruments, allowing car jacks to collapse with fingers in a vunerable position and the last one, slamming a car door on my finger, etc. but thanks for your concern.
I have been a clumsy person.

Re: 12 String (25 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I am afraid that I disagree with Jim (in the nicest possible way, of course).
Normal guitar tuning is to E and, in my opinion, if a 12er is built that will not stand the stress of tuning to standard tuning then it is designed incorrectly and is only fit for the rubbish skip.
I have had 12er's off ond on for the past 40 years and my current baby is a 70's, Italian made, Melody; my previous one was a new, made in China, Channel guitar and both have only known standard E tuning with no adverse affects.
Modern strings are available in lighter gauges than they were in my early playing days so I believe that there is no problem using standard tuning.

The only way that I know how to do that is to change it before saving it to a songbook.

My girlfriend left a note on my Marshall amp: "It is NOT working. I cannot take anymore. I am leaving".
Well, I switched on the amp, flicked the standby on, cranked up the volume and hit a chord..... PERFECT.
What the heck is she talking about?????

well impressed roger, but are you reading the words from a sheet of paper stuck to the guitar?
I did have the words and chords taped on the side of my guitar only to find that I could not read it 
so I put my songbook on the table instead (big cheat).
Having just left the weekly practice I have been told that I am to to take the lead vocal for this song so I will now have to learn it by heart.

Try going into the Public books. In "Absolute Beginners" there are 451 books which should give you plenty to work on, there are also 1001 books in the "Easy Songs" category.
Going through those should keep you out of mischief for a while .

Re: How to move the chord images from the side to the bottom. (14 replies, posted in About Chordie)
If you look on the right of any song you will see the print tag and when you click on it you will come to the page that I showed earlier to show how to move the position of the grids (chords). There are three capital "A's" of differing sizes. the larger one will increase the size of the print nd the smaller one decrease it. Click on the word 'print' to print the individual song.

Re: How to move the chord images from the side to the bottom. (14 replies, posted in About Chordie)
I have just taken a song, transposed it from F to A and then saved it in one of my song books. On re-opening my songbook I do have the transposed version there, so it is working fine for me. Any editing that is wanted or required can then be performed in the songbook
Yes there is a new server and there have been some behind the scenes changes to the way that Chordie works which has presented a bug or two but they seem to be ironed out now.
If you are still having a problem then write to Per at admin@chordie.com giving precise details of your problem and information of your operating system and browser.

Re: Algarve Rock Choir (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
As Jim states there are many Brit ex-pats here but also many other nationalities too. In the choir we have mainly English plus Welsh, Scottish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Irish and German members.
We have a 4 piece band, Tiago (19) the best lead guitarist in the Algarve, his brother, Bruno (17) on bass, Yvonne (21+) on keyboard and myself on rhythm guitar.
Our Thursday evening 2 hour practice is great fun, we hold it in the basement of one of the members who puts on drinks for us at the midway break and makes some absolutely wicked cakes.

Re: new usb mic. (12 replies, posted in Recording)
If I read this right you are expecting something that will not happen. A PC, or laptop, is not an amplifier so you cannot get sound direct from the mic to the speakers. But you should be able to use a programme like Audacity (free) to record and then playback.
If I have misunderstood your initial post then please accept my apology.
