I've given two away to grandchildren recently and they both were excited for awhile. Then they gather dust. I'm with you naolslager, the next time I give one to someone, I will proabaly make sure they have taken an interest for awhile before I give them one.

Re: Transfer songbook to my Sony ereader (3 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Every so often when people have this problem I direct them to this site. I am in no way affiliated with the site , but I have been using this program for many years and I love it. You just bring songs into it from chordpro from here and you have all your songs in one library. Check it out. I have tried to get them to advertise here.

Well, thats four of us. I like that quote. Maybe we should start a "I can almost play guitar good" club.

Re: hello everyone (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Welcome BigMike. Anytime you are looking on YouTube for ways to play a song, search for that song and include the word "Lesson" in the search criteria. There is usually someone who has posted a video on how to play a certain song. Good luck.

Re: My wife left town with a banana (4 replies, posted in Song requests)
Sounds like a very suggestive song. Never heard of it, but I'll bet I could easily make up some verses for it. I do a little hunting.

Re: String Gauge (13 replies, posted in Acoustic)
That is common. The lighter the strings, the less effort to play them. The heavier usually sound better, but tend to beat up your fingers. I finally went to a light medium and like them. Kinda the best of both worlds.

Re: Hello everybody! I'm new here and I'm teaching myself acoustic guitar (14 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Welcome Dg. As some have said, go for the style of music you like, country, rock, whatever, then search for some of the songs you know the melodies to and start from there. Then look for songs in those categories with chords that are easiest for you. Two or three chord songs perhaps. Then slowly expand your chord knowledge, one additional chord at a time. Before you know it, you will know enough chords to play many more songs. And lots of practice is a good thing.
