My friend Richard (The 'Doc') has an Ovation 12er which is a very nice guitar (mind you I still prefer my 70's Melody) and as Jx3 says you do need something to stop it slipping whilst sat down which is the only drawback of the rounded, composite back. His keeps in tune well but has has a built-in tuner for when it is needed.
Pictures are needed please.

I have passed this information on to Per for you.
Roger
I have just checked and it is fine with me. If you are sure it is not a problem at your end then e-mail admin@chordie.com with the details including your operating system and browser.
Roger
There is a 'Sticky' entitled "Posting of Songs" at the start of this section with the details you are requesting.

In 1984 I had an Olympic Bronze medal around my neck!!
Alas I did not win it. At that time I was heavily into air rifle target shooting and at a competition I found myself shooting beside Barry Dagger who had just won it in Los Angeles. We got chatting and he mentioned that he had his medal with him and then very kindly allowed me at try it for size.
Roger
Thinking of you.

Per has spent a lot of time sorting the bugs out in the songbooks and believes that they are all now fixed. If you are still having difficulties please send him an e-mail to: admin@chordie.com giving as much detail as possible and include your operating system and browser. He may not be able to reply individually but he will certainly look into any problems.

Hi Anna and welcome to Chordie,
Keeping the timing constant and changing chords are the two most difficult things that most students have to master and they are generally linked.
What usually happens is that because the chord is not changed fast enough, or fumbled , the strumming hand slows down to let the chord change hand catch up and then we are behind the tempo of the song. The reason that for a right handed person the strumming hand is the right hand is that this one has the most important job - keeping time and rhythm. You must concentrate on this - the left hand then has to catch up. It is not and easy concept as the natural reaction is to correct the chord so it takes some working on.
To demonstrate this I often play a fast rock song for my students and then slow it down so that they can see that every often there is a strum on all open strings between chord changes but because the tempo is regular it is not noticed.
I have a seven year old student who has been coming to me for a year and in May she played 2 songs at my 65th birthday party in front of my friends, other students, her parents and a restaurent full of people. Her co-ordination is typical of a 7 year old and she fumbles some chords but because she can keep her right hand in strict tempo she pulled it off. She did a great job and people were amazed at her performance, I noticed her mistakes but no one else did .
When practicing, the use of a metronome, a backing track, an original recording (if the key is the same) or playing with someone who can keep time will all help.
Keep at it it will come together in time and with practice.

Wecome back Zurf. Looks you you could do with a vacation to recover from the vacation!!

Hi there,
A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#
You can do it yourself using the above list. The capo is on the third fret so take a chord, say E. Now now count up 3: 1 = F, 2 = F# and 3 = G. You just have to remember that if you get to G# you start again at A.
If it happens to be a flat key they progression is:
A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, Gb, G, Ab

Roger
New server glitch, I'm afraid. I have informed the webmaster for him to investigate.

*** Duplicate post removed ***
It is possible that when you log in for the first time on the new server you taken back to the home page but not logged in. If so log in again and re-enter your password and you will be OK.
Roger
Like so:

Sorry guys, please be patient, it will get better but just not sure when: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20060

We have all been experiencing problems accessing Chordie lately. The difficulty is that the server is aging and is sometimes unable to cope with heavy demand and then needs rebooting.
Per (the site owner) has purchased a new server and is transferring everything over to it. However this does take considerable time and it needs constantly checking to ensure that it is stable (there is little point in switching to the new one and still having problems). So the long and the short of it is that we cannot give a date as to when the server with be activated, but felt that you should be informed of the situation.
Please be patient, if you cannot access Chordie then try again in a little while, we will get her up and running as soon as we can.
You will be informed when the new server is activated and you will then have trouble free access.
Thank you,
Roger
When viewing, the chords are always to the right but they project no further than the 'Transpose' and other boxes on the right, so it should not cause a problem. It is only when printing that you can select the position of the chords.
Perhaps it is your screen resolution that is causing the problem as we have had various difficulties caused by this in the past.
