Anyways... HI !!!...
If I get to long winded in here.
Just say CC shut up and go to your room.Have a Nice day Folks.
Don't worry CC, I think that I have the record for the most longwinded post at 1080 words, and in case I have not already said, welcome to Chordie.

Hello to you and welcome to Chordie,
There is no friend's list as Chordie does not work that way. Regular contributors to the forum soon get known and recognised but I am guessing that what you want is easy access to your friend's songbook so you can learn the some songs as him.
If he has made it public you will have to remember it's name to locate it, if it is not public you cannot see it at all. It would probably be better to find out what songs he is learning (and the key he is learning them in) and add them to your own songbook that you are able locate very easily.

Hi Katie,
Welcome to Chordie. Please remember to read the 'Stickys' at the start of each section as there is some help and advice there. Don't be a stranger and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Join the gang

Hi James and welcome to Chordie,
The natural progresion of notes from G to C is G, A and B. So G (3rd fret, 6th string) A (5th string open) B (5th string, 2nd fret) and then come in with the chord of C.
Hope that helps,
Roger
Hi Leclercm and welcome,
Further to Doug's comments you can go into 'Resources' and at the bottom of the page change your settings permanently to Uke (C-tuning, D-tuning or Baritone).
Roger
Well that did not take long. There is a new recipient for the box of goodies but it will take me a few days to sift through it before forwarding it on.
It will be heading back across the pond but as for who it is going to............................... well my lips are sealed 
.
Roger
Thanks to Jerry I have now a box (this used to be a jiffy bag) with loads of goodies inside. I have CD's to copy and all sorts of stuff to look through, what a change since the first time I had it. Well worth a second look for you guys that had it early on like I did.
Whoever would like it next please email me and it is first come, first served .
Roger
Thanks Artless, both for the comments and for bringing to the notice of two of my friends that had missed it when it was first posted. Keep practicing your chords, you will get them eventually but I guess, in this song, it is probably the Bb that is the most difficult to get to grips with.
Thanks Russ, you were probably tucking into some ice cream when I posted this.
Thank you too Ken, a very Merry Christmas to you and I hope that 2011 will be a better year for you than this one.
Roger
I do know that I spell Bar / Barre the wrong way, but what the heck? I just think of my index finger as a bar. What is a barre?
Here is Wikipedia's answer to your question: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barre_chord
Hope it helps ,
Roger
So far so good but where are the vocals? We want more!!!!!!!! .
Roger
Gotcha, sorry dumb question huh.
A question is never dumb, if you do not know something then the dumb thing is to not ask. Sometimes the answer to a question is amazingly simple but only when you already know the answer, so ask away, the only way to learn is by asking.
There are plenty of people like Jerome on Chordie who will do their best to help you understand music and your instrument.
Roger
Hi Keith and welcome to Chordie,
I have moved your post to 'Song Requests' which is where it belongs.
The song you are looking for is here on Chordie: http://www.chordie.com/allsongs.php/son … index.html
Possibly your spelling 'Moore' as 'More' prevented you from finding it.
Roger
Edited to add: The other 54 songs of his that are on Chordie are here: http://www.chordie.com/song.php/songart … index.html
A practice technique that I was taught a million years ago and still use today for a new chord is to form the chord and make sure that all strings are ringing clear and not muted. Then slowly strum three beats, and for the 4th beat you lift your fingers slightly (just to clear the strings), drop them back for three and lift for one and so on. It helps you get used to using your fingers in that position and you can slowly increase the tempo. Then you can start changing from different chords to the new one you are learning and when you can do that you have won .
Roger
In fact Jerome is right, this thread should be in Theory so I will move it.
Roger
Sorry DOORsly, I forgot to welcome you to Chordie and do not worry about your English, it is fine.
Hi Harry and welcome to Chordie,
Although you can change to left handed guitar chords these is no left handed mandolin chord chart I'm afaraid.
Roger
Lucky man Daddycool,
Nice song and I hope you have sung this to Mrs Daddycoold.
Roger
Hi Kenny,
Great to hear from you and to see you are writing again. I have missed your input but understand why and I am happy that you are on the mend.
As usual another excellent contribution from you and when I played it I found a melody with the chords as posted, but as we both know my interpretaion will be completely different to what you intend it to be. I hope you are soon able to record it for us.
Take care,
Roger
hello everyone i just joined this forum its has helped me alot by finding the songs etc. but I too am struggleing with barre chords. I started playing the guitar in the begining of this school year(about 4 months). My teacher taught me to learn all the basic chords with chord progressions, but for some reason i can not seem to find any chord progressions for barre chords. i am able to play the F and the Fm but that is all i know.
Can some please address me to a website that has barred chord progressions. i would really apreciate it.
Thanks so much guys.
René
Hi René and welcome to Chordie,
Being able to play the fully barred F and Fm chords after only 4 months is quite an achievement, well done.
So if you can play F you can also play F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B, C, C#, D, Eb, E and the minors to each. Use these barred chords in place of open chords in songs that you already know to familiarise yourself with their locataion to practice using them.
Roger
Normally for me any chord is really easy, including the barre chords, but the chords that really give me a pain in the neck are the movable chords (used mostly for jazz) On chord in particular is th Gm11 movable chord:
e--x--
B--1--
G--3--
D--3--
A--x--
E--3--Its might not seem difficult, but there are alot more of those!!!
Lets see if one of the Theory Gurus will shoot me down over this comment. To me this chord does not make sense for two reasons.
1/ Expecting one to strum and not play the A string but play the E and the D is asking the impossible.
2/ With this particular chord the B is played on the first fret making a C so why not play the A on the 3rd fret (like its surrounding strings) to play a C.
Of course there is a lot easier Gm11 to play, and that is 333333.
Roger
If that info has helped you then it is Ms.Mouse you should be thanking as it is she who has done all the work and research. I only pointed you in the right direction .
Roger
Welcome Paul,
I have to warn you that Chordie can become addictive. I have to have my fix at least twice a day .
Roger
Good luck Russ, I know how I felt a few weeks ago when I was told I may need a operation (thankfully I did not) so you have my sympathy. However we usually imagine these things to be worse than they actually are so I am sure you will be fine.
Still there will be some pretty nurses to chat up so you have that to look forward to .
Roger
Right then Paul, then if the guitar is set up OK it is down to those three words which get repeated many times on Chordie "Practice", "Practice" and then some more "Practice" .
Roger
Happy NGD Zurf. I am looking forward to hearing some melodious music from you and your new baby.
Roger
Hi Paul and welcome to Chordie.
If the action of your guitar is not good then fingering barre chords at the lower end (F, F#, G etc) will be easier than playing at the higher end (C. C#, D etc). This could be the reason for your difficulty. (By action I mean the height of the strings from the frets).
Roger
BTW you are confusing up/down and higher/ lower on your guitar. These words relate to musical pitch and not to the physical position.
