Happy NGD Butch as a lover of Fender I am sure you will be more than happy with her.

Hi Gemini and welcome to Chordie,

I have contacted Per, the webmaster, and asked him to look into this concern for you.

Roger

Happy Birthday Canada and all Canadians but especially Badeye's mum and our Jeff (Jets60) who also has a big one today but not quite as many as Canada (he is 93 years younger).

Hi Maxine,

I cannot help you with a tutor but there are two things that you can do to help with timing.

One is to buy (or use an on-line) metronome, set it to the tempo of the song and play whilst listening to the beat to keep you timing even.

The other is to look on the internet for midi files of the song you want to play and play long with it, you may need a to alter the key to suit your voice or playing but there are programmes to do this.

Good luck,

Roger

When do we see the video of mum doing cartwheels?

Roger

Thank you all for you comments. Although I like the idea of having a built in tuner particularly for twelve strings I am now convinced that cutting a large hole in her side to accomodate one is not the thing to do.

'Shadow' (brand name) produce several different types and some are available at my friend's shop so I will try a few out and see, well hear, what they are like. The under saddle pickup which I have used on other guitars may not work on this one as the bridge is adjustable but I am very interested in the K&K 3 transducer system that 'Pix mentioned. This also uses a jack socket that replaces the strap button she will still look in her original condition with it fitted.

I will keep you posted and try and get some actual photos of my baby i  due course.

There is no specific key for a sad love song but minor keys generally work to produce the right atmosphere and my favourite progression for this kind of song is Cmaj7 to Fmaj7.

Welcome to Chordie.

Roger

Jeff, Pete and Geo,

Thanks for the comments. I am very much in two minds as to what to do although I do like the idea of having a built in tuner for a 12er.

Zurf,

I have accomodation arranged for you and, although there is not too much fishing around here  (many rivers dry up in the summer) know a lake where you can dangle a hook for an hour or two.

Roger

Zurf, stolen or not, that is some joke!!

How about a little Johnny Tillotson? 'Poetry in Motion' and look out for the jivers:

Nom, in my opinion a 'Sticky' is to impart valuable information and not to be a discussion document so I always 'close' them or give warning that added posts will be removed.

When Amy wrote the post I guess she did not realise this and it is not my place to edit her message, hence the confusion, but I hope this clears it up.

Hi Kenton and welcome to Chordie,

If you go into the 'Resources' and at the bottom of 'Your Account' you will see 'Change Settings'. Here you can alter your instrument to ukulele so all songs will then display ukulele chords.
