i am with "topdown"  (above) on this one . exactly as he described it.

perhaps some people might have some advice on how to maintain a guitar ( cos after all it is machine and you wouldnt run your car without doing the odd few things to it and expect it to run good forever )... for instance i was told not to use furniture polish on it anywhere at all ( i dont know why ) . i use linseed oil on the rosewood neck and keep the strings lubed and clean with " fast fret" . plus other things like dont leave it in sunlight or cold and damp places etc. anyone with any advice would be greatly appreciated .....

as previously stated on here i find YOU TUBE  to be an inspiration . one guy in particular to me is FRETKILLER who ( this is just me of course ) shows in his videos that songs old and new can be done in a variety of styles and also close up of how he does it . and its all done in accoustic . ( but dont expect to see his face - lol ) . there are other guys who do the odd song here and there but as i say - he is the one that has given me inspiration to keep with accoustic only .

jeez .... thanks for the time and effort nela . but i got to admit - i cannot grasp it myself. thanks again .

hi - i bought a mandolin ( something i would never of imagined )after seeing some amazing lessons on YOU TUBE . as a guitar player already it helped to know that different ways of playing the same chord can be done and there are many charts on the site as well . i hope i am not explaining the obvious here - but just trying to help out a bit . also - as an aside - i wish i had took up the mandolin years ago .. its a great little intstrument.

thanks roger - i didnt realise there was a way to get alternatives like that . that will definately come in usefull . there arent to many i struggle with but a few i really do . and while i am at it - is there a place on the net we can actually hear some of the stuff you guys write ? though i have played for a few years ( to many - and still rubbish , but its fun) i have never wrote anything . but its always good to hear others who do - rather than just play and sing other artists stuff etc .

thanks- going to give ita go . i have printed out almost 150 songs for personal use (only) and was trying to keep a back up somewhere in case anything like the site closing down happens . it would be an aweful shame . all the hard work done by people on here just for a hobby seems criminal to even think about closing it . anyway - rumours are always rife - lets hope its just one of them ...

I DONT THINK I EXPLAINED THE LAST POST TO CLEARLY - WHAT I MEAN WAS CAN THE SONGBOOK BE MADE AVAILABLE FROM A FOLDER BY SAVING IT SOMEWHERE ON THE PC ... ?

thanks james - i will try your suggestions

so much for the freedom of the net - a case like this means that no information of any kind can be on the net - cos all information is sourced from someone elses work . also - in regard to chord tabs - do they really think that by us learning chord tabs we are not going to buy their music ? what a crazy world ....
