Never got a virus from chordie.
I did get a virus from a coldie.
It isn't always easy to find how they get here. He still works, and yes, a friend of me made this PC, and when he looks they always find virusses.

Arkady, you are correct, but one thing remains in my head: the fact to read "CHILD PORN" I never clicked on porn, I have seen more tan enough when still working (hahaha) but this gives me an inspiring idea. I will post the question here because, it is not worth to write a topic about this sporn, or maybe it is worth a topic: WHO HAS CLICKED ON A PORN LINK? I didn't, but I wanted to know 1 thing, if people, watched the topic, most of them are deleted when (I didn't really count them) 3-5 people have seen those posts, if they had problems after clicking on a link. I SAID "IF". They don't belong here at all those sites, what would they do if we start putting Gibsons or Fenders on their sites. Same for spam, I even think I won't accept a guitar factory putting their products here.
This has nothing to do directly with this problem, but here, andin other countries too, it is NOT ACCEPTABLE to play on television PHONE GAMES, the most vulnerable people are people staying at home, because they are ill, or lost their job, even in hospital. You see a direct line, and the number of people calling in 1 minute (up to 800), but when you phone (YES I was a sinner too) you can't get in. They have to earn a fortune. Other dangerous sites here are "gambling". Most of these sites go via via to a country like China, and yes you can loose a lot of money. And as it always is: the targets are the people who needed their money most.
I think to write a topic about "boobytraps, snakepits and scam" or "dangerous sites" to everybody, help please, as friends, to warn friends.
ADVISE: we are working on this, but REMEMBER ONE THING: WITHOUT ALL OF YOU: NO CHORDIE This is a  phrase to end a delicate subject.

Welcome Fred.
You can be very useful here.
WHY? not only because we love new members, but we have also a lot of youngsters and even being administrator, I am just a man with a passion for music, and I know that it is not always easy to give 100% correct answers if youngsters ask information. I know a lot, I look a lot to find information, but more important is: you will love it here.

Toney, I have probably the same question. If it is about, I call it "SPORN" is it possible to let me know? We need to fight with the same weapons and dignity.

By the way, I love the word SPORN, it tells everything and it's written faster smile  smile

Use your "NICKNAME", I love this name, where, or what is the origin of it? Why I wrote this, because
- I read a lot of your (very interesting by the way) topics.
- You have "eagle eyes" to spot those incredible perverts.
ALTEX, you have also very interesting "stuff" to ask, to tell, Joe Fitz, Arkady, Netzcoyote too.
My point is : To all DIRTY PEOPLE WHO ARE "CONTAMINATING" (sorry, old habit, being a doc) THIS BEAUTIFUL SOCIETY, WEBSITE where everybody likes everybody, KEEP IT LIKE THIS. I MEAN: There is no place for PORN or SPAM, I call it SPORN. (maybe they use there penis enlargement to use as capo for their guitar) I start to be relativistic seeing all these problems. This is attitude is needed, and COORDINATION is necessary or you start to get crazy, looking, searching, from one post to another and back. I HAVE to apologise, because it is more complicate, but that is STILL THE MEDICAL DOCTOR IN ME, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE WHY AND HOW. I swear I saw in one I deleted Thursday, CHILD PORN. So please excuse me for thinking how this is possible, how people can be like that.
ARKADY: do you think when you click on a link, you have to pay? I think their intention is more, to lead you to their site, and once you went looking they probably attack you. I confess, and I am certainly not alone, I clicked once, on a spam "thing" about medication (again the MD in me), what happpened: A list of products, especially Viagra. BANNED & DELETED. Never got spam. I also noticed that a most of these sites are from Russia, at least a few I deleted.
I am going to note somewhere where they come from. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THIS ABUSE. FOR ME IT IS A CRIME = It is like disturbing a community of FRIENDS with one passion: MUSIC and PLAYING MUSIC. I am on line a big part of the day, I sit here "forever" and getting "worse physically." So I have time, but some days there is almost nothing, on other days I intercept 2-3 SPORNS. I know all of you guys, by reading your topics and or answers. You all are great persons, and like I told LET US ACT LIKE FRIENDS and fight against SPORNERS.
I know that I always will listen to advise. I have almost no more social life (this is not a joke), but you CHORDIANS are my social life, my contacts, my friends. I am not hiding myself, I am open minded and always prepared to give advise (even medical, I even have a topic about medical problems caused by playing guitar)
THANKS FOR READING THIS, AND HELPING US TO KEEP CHORDIE A NICE FRIENDLY AND OFCOURSE "THE" BEST MUSIC SITE ON THE WEB.

I am glad that you wrote about the helicopter too. I have a huge installation. My old amp was a Pioneer (the srongest amp of that serie) and I like to see if it still works. The installation I use is 5:1 for my (too) big plasma television (50"). It is amazing ( a PHILIPS PIXEL 2 +) and was 3 times television of the year. I bought this when I had to stop working. Because I don't have a boss (or you can change this word in 40 different bosses, patients can be horrible, especially when it is Saturday or Sunday, they have to go somewhere, also in the week: the hairdresser, beauty salon, getting a tan, because that is more important... name it, you'll have it: EVERYTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A DOCTOR) so I gave myself a present. But I was writing about that helicopter and my installation, having TWO Infinity's and 2 JBL , you hair an incredible surround. Take the WALL and it is as there is a helicopter flying in the room. Even when someone is knocking or a telephone is ringing, I opened at least a dozen times my door.
What both of us forgot to write: the intro of "money".
I think, USING ONLY A FEW CHORDS, they became so big, because the music was more complex than other groups caused by birds singing, helicopter and a lot more.
WHO CAN CLAIM THE CREDITS? Probably PINK FLOYD AS BAND, Producers, Soundengineers, the arrangements...

Imagine him playing for 2 hours, constantly shaking his guitar, to hear the rattle. I think it must be hard. It will be easier to take medication, in a high dose, and taking benefit of the side effects, called Parksonism (the cause can be toxic, organic, a braintumour and the diagnosis looks very easy but isn't.) Except for this, is the real disease, "parkinson's disease.
An important and frequent used drug is: metocloperamide (the generic name of PRIMPERAN).
Drink half a bottle, and you start shaking even worse than Shakin' Stevens and play the guitar at the same time.

Hi dear Tony (don't shoot me if I still write Southpaw. I wasn't amazed about you playing acoustic.
Q: the % of playing own songs versus covers? (Meaning like Simon & Garfunkel).

The guitar you mention is it an acoustic, semi acoustic, hollowbody?

Funky doc.
FRIEND ZURF. I am still "blocking" strings. I do it more on acoustic guitar.
I was really happy because I learned it pretty fast.  This style is quit special AND even better on acoustic. Before I forget it: "that" style is basicly like "more than words" by Extreme AND "the girl from Ipanema".
I could play already pretty good, and the guy who plays guitar with me is DRUMMER, and my rhythm was not so good. The day I could block these strings (all at the same time) I had "it".
The "it" is for playing alone and keep the rhythm. The girl from Ipanema is such a song.
If you love the technique try to play on an acoustic guitar:
- strum from big E using, (the chords: not relevant ) 1 down,block, strum.., and I CANNOT play solo at all, yes, the little ones.

To come back to your topic, iandraper, I use and still have most of my processors.
BUT THERE IS ONE PROCESSOR (often included in floorboards) ACOUSTIC SOUND USING MY PROCESSORS: It just plays more or less (better less) an acoustic sound. Plugging in: I NEVER FIND A REALISTIC SOUND. Are there "chordians" having a processor, and plug in a Fender, Gibson, PRS, giving a "VERY REALISTIC ACOUSTIC SOUND?"

Do you have sometimes the impression, that even using a 100 eyed chordian, will still be not so easy? I am almost always on line from 09.00 - 14.00h. I like to read other peoples topics, and try to give answers. Sometimes I don't see "those topics", and certainly not on purpose.
Still related with the job I used to do, I am able to help people, by let's say, a kind of medical approach. It is the truth to see, or read between the lines some problems, and I try to help where I can. I just don't understand WHY that "particular" breed are acting by putting stuff as described, here. I try to understand, you can say "it's a fact" but what is the reason? Now: ban forever and delete. It is probably the MD in me, asking why those people do this. Is it also a problem on other sites? I continue to do the best I can, and I count on our "chordians" to report us, so we can take our responsibility BY BANNING & DELETING THOSE BEASTS (sorry for my word choice.

I have the impression, that they don't make newspapers or magazines, using points to have a dvd, or cd, but that they give you a dvd/cd with a magazine.

I think I wrote a similar topic, months ago.
- You have the "classic" guitar, also flamenco.
- The steel string guitar: and a JUMBO and a DREADNOUGHT.
- Ukulele, is this little guitar used with 4 or 6 strings, and how to play it?
- The GIGANTIC MEXICAN GUITARS. (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH CLASSIC and Mexican.)
In the movie with Antonio Banderas, seeing and listening the Mariachi's, they sound so great, 3 big guitars, 3 big voices.
Concerning these very, super-big guitars:
- what wood do they use.
- are they expensive
WHERE CAN YOU BUY THESE HUGE GUITARS, Sombrero included?

Altex, where do you live exactly in Australia.? Sometimes it is so hard for me, everything is destroyed by my car crash, all my dreams. I had a place to start in South Africa, and 2-3 years later, because Australia is also belonging to the British Commonwealth, I was able to move over there, but destiny...
In fact I write you to know if there are in Australia, guitars MADE IN AUSTRALIA? And if yes, is the wood good enough for acoustic guitars, or for electric guitars

Well Ben, it depends as aj1 wrote, one brand is different from another, and 1 brand has even different types. Another possibility is, that it was already present before the "incident". Best solution: go see your guitar store, if the bracing has gone, you should hear it when shaking with the guitar. I had once a typical "gibson fracture": the neck, caused by transport by airplane where the seller "forgot" to detune the guitar. I could maybe repaired it myself, but they use special glue and the job is perfect. I should advise you an X-ray, when still practising.

I deleted 2 today.
And Altex, amigo, sometimes it is real strange. I have nothing against porn, but not on this site. The one I deleted 2 hours ago was even WITH CHILD PORN!!!
A big "crime". Also, the fact they put it on a site where a lot of chordians, are VERY young.
You can look, everywhere, seeing nothing and 1 minute later, it's there.
Like Southpaw wrote, chordie hasn't gone to the dogs, we try to be "the dogs". Long time I was "thinking" why here, just like you.
I am most of the time on line between 08.00 and 14.00, some days, I don't see porn/spam, but other days, I see a few, and I remove it. I start my day looking in the ACOUSTICS, I check them all, and as I told, I react, but amazing to see nothing at 09.01h and than, one minute later, "they are there" at 09.02h. Trust us, we try hard to "clean" up, to make CHORDIE clean. So this is for EVERYBODY: REPORT ABUSE.

Why do they use the same name, no, FOOTBALL HAS TO BE AND REMAIN FOOTBALL.
IT is sad that the word "soccer" (derived from the word "sucker") is used in the USA.
