Please keep your replies in this thread as others may have suggestions to help, the problem is most definitely with your system otherwise there would be hundreds of similar complaints. The 'Report' is to let us know of something that should not be on Chordie, spam, bad language, racial or any other kind of abuse. etc. and not for replies to questions or answers.

Re: Struggles of a beginning guitar player with Parkinson's Disease (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
H Doug and a warm welcome to Chordie,
Good on you for not giving in to your debiltation condition, I admire your courage and determination.
One thing I must point out though is that there is a great deal of litigation at present for copyright infringement so we have to take care and normally we can allow just a couple of lines to help make a point. However I shall make an exception in this case as reducing them would detract from the point you are making.

Re: zac brown band (2 replies, posted in Song requests)
Welcome to the Forum but for someone who has been a member since 2008 you should know by now that Chordie is a search engine and finds songs that are already out there on the internet. The only songs that are hosted here are the original ones written by our Members in the Songwriting section.
If you find songs that are not on Chordie there is information in the Resourses to get them added.

Re: Strumming Pattern for Bad Moon Rising (23 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I agree with Topdown and Tubatooter 100%.
I started playing when I was 11 and later this year I will officially become a pensioner (still feel 20 though ) so I have been playing a long time and the question of strumming patterns is something I have never asked.
I believe that far too many novice guitarist try to play complicated rhythms before they have mastered playing the basic 4 (or sometimes 3) main beats to a song. Those basic beats have to so ingrained that they are instinctive and nothing can distract from them. (One of the exercises I do with my students is to play together a simple 4 beat rhythm and then hold a conversation with them about school, sport or anything else of interest and see if they can hold it). Only then should double time and up stroke rhythms be attempted. Then it comes down to knowing the song well enough so you can hear it in your head to play the rhythm if you are trying to copy it, or to have in mind what you want to hear and play it your own way.

Re: Developing a KEY Indicator Window (3 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi Whatsuptut and welcome,
As a general rule of thumb whatever chord the piece starts and finishes on is usually the key.
The chords you play will also indicate the key to you.
The key of C will generaly contain: C, Am, F & G with possibly Dm & Em.
D : D, Bm, G & A Em & F#m.
E : E, C#m, A & B F#m & G#m.
F : F, Dm, Bb & C G#m & Am.
G : D Em, C & D Am & Bm.
A : A, F#m, D & E Bm & C#m.
B : B, G#m, E & F# C#m & D#m.
When singing a song the musicians must always play in the key to suit the singer. A singer cannot alter the range of his/her voice but instruments can easily be played in a different key. So always play in the key that suits your voice and use a capo if you have not the ability to play the chords of the key required.
I hope that helps.

Re: Correction disappearing... (3 replies, posted in About Chordie)
I have just looked at the song: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … 63933.html and it definitely says it was corrected by you.
By the way the variation on the A chord, by playing the B string open, is Asus2.

Re: tanglewood (5 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
We have two 60's Gibson 335's in the shop priced in excess of €2000.00 and beside them is a Tanglewood copy at €300.00. Howard, the owner of the shop, has owned one of the Gibsons from new and played it professionally until fairly recently and he has told me that the Tanglewood feels, plays and sounds just like the genuine article.

Your status here depends on your 'Chordie life'. No other irrelevant incarnation is recognised and the Chordie spirit will grant status depending entirely upon your contribution to it's continued wellbeing.
I hasten to add that sacrifices are no longer acccepted and in some placed have even been made illegal.
