He was playing the usual Eagles and country hits, a few other pop songs.Anyway the place we where staying at happened to be in the back of the local Handmade chocolate shop - man if you could only taste these chocolates......well around midnight I gazed across the road to the pub, and the place was jumping, loud acoustic music blaring away - so I left the missus and joined in with Johnny T who happened to be jamming at the pub(can't keep a good man down) so anyway the publican now kicked us out - damn where to go. back to the chocolate shop garage, man what a night - the chocolatier (my mates wife) was not impressed.The things we do for muzac!
Which Rural Village was that, I might live nearby.
Our local radio station only plays the 'top 40' sort of thing so we won't have any luck there. And if I only handed out a few then people would just burn them. Any Ideas for gigs either?
My band have almost finished making our first cd and we were wondering, 'We too now'?. Where should we sell our album. We are only 14 and have no money. Do you think cd shops will sell it. We will hand out free copies at school. What about music shops will they sell them?
Cheers, Altex
Roger I think you are right, the time zone must be the problem. Thanks for your help doc I will report posts from now on.
There is a company here called Maton, i'm not sure if it is popular over in belgium but it they are very popular here. The make very good acoustics. They also make Electrics but their acoustics are more well known.
Im not to sure about the wood.
I live in a smallish town called Lismore (named after some scottish isle) but technically it is a city. It has a population of around 47 000. Goonellabah is a suburb of this town. Strange name you say? Its an aboriginal name that means coral tree or something like that. It is located in the far north east of New South Wales, a state. The closet big city to it is Brisbane which is to the north in Queensland, a state north of new south wales. If you use google earth you will have no trouble finding lismore.
I took my guitar in to the shop and they said there was a burr. Its down there getting fixed.
Every time I log on and look at the forum theres always this advertising crap like free amatuer porn videos and penis enlargments and stuff. I thought this was a website for guitarists not perverts. Chordie has gone to the dogs.

When your first starting out just try and rock it back and forth on the beat. When you get the hang of it start to alter the rythym and rock it back and forth at same time you pick a note. The wah also sounds good when you mute the strings woth your fretting hand. This gives it a funky sound.
When I'm playing electric I always seem to break the low E string alot more than the others. It always frays at the bridge and the coils unravel. This made me think that it would be good if string companies such as D'addario or fender etc. did the research and found which strings are broken the most and put more of them in a packet. For example 2 E's, 1 A, 1 D, 2 g's, 2 b's, 2 e's. Just an Idea.
Yeah, I know but I learnt it in my piano theory exam.
I found chordie surfin for tabs. Im from Australia and im 14
I find that the guitar is much easier than the piano. It depends on what you are playing though. I have taken piano exams up to grade 6 ameb (fairly high) and find that it takes about 4 months to learn the pieces but then you have to go over and smooth it out. It is alot, alot more complex than the guitar. Also have to play two different lines of music at the same time. On the guitar it is just chords or soloing or the melody or tune, but not at the same time, only a few very talented individuals can do this. I'm not one of them lol. The piano I think is the main instrument and sort of like the base or root of every other instrument, I know the guitar came first. The interface on the guitar is alot harder to comprehend to people learning it though. There is only one key for a paticular note unlike on the guitar where it can be played on many different strings and frets. Learning the piano gives you a better understanding of the music itself and the way it is constructed. On the guitar beginners just learn that this chord is G, this one is E minor. they dont learn that in that G chord the notes in it are G, B and D. They just know that if the press this fret it sounds good.
Learning the guitar after the piano made it much easier to comprehend the layout. I dont know about the other way around but I'm sure the guitar would make it easier to learn the piano. I think if you actually learn the piano properly and get lessons it would help with your guitar playing and understanding as well.
I'll stop ranting now.

And now to really confuse you here are some names for different notes of a certain notes major scale.
Root(1st)=tonic
2nd=supertonic
3rd=mediant
4th=sub dominant
5th=Dominant
6th=Sub mediant
7th=leading note
8th=(octave) tonic.
Ah, piano theory lessons. haha.
Red hot chili peppers were original in the late 80's and early nineties. Just check out their early albums such as freaky styley, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Mothers Milk and sort of blood sugar sex magik. After that their sound was fairly commerical.
sha and free bird are both as good as each other. Southern man in my view is one of the crappest songs I've heard. Neil Youngs voice hurts my ears.
Well they arent actually chord letters. The are actually the names of notes. a chord is a group of notes.
i think doc has just made a simple error.
x x x x o x
x x o x x x
o o x x x x
is a C/G because it is the standard open c chord with a g root (3rd fret E string).
He's just accidentaly said to fret the A and D string on the 3rd fret instead of the E and A.
Any john grisham or micheal crichton book. Also a bit of Matthew Reilly. At the moment I'm reading 'the rain maker' by john grisham and cant put it down. "His Dark Materials" is a really good trilogy.
In the film clip he plays it in standard tuning because you can see him playing the F on the first fret.
the sg is a lot easier to play.
I used a new $800 tanglewood acoustic and my friend used a 20 year old fender acoustic. We played for about 2 hours. ITs funny, most people walk past, hear a song they like, walk another 10 metres then stop, get some loose change and drop it in.
haha nimbin, thats were all the druggos are
Maybe unknown where you come from but here in australia he is probably the most respected guitarist, and I personally probably think he is the most skilled (not best or greatest) guitarist in the world. I think Eric clapton was a famous guitarist just because he was british, there are many american guitarists as good as him.
Lets see, i can play C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B and in open and E shape barre chord and a shape. I can play all these powere chords with the root on Either the E string A string or D string. For all of these notes I can play the Major, Minor, 7th, Minor 7th, Major7, Sus2, Sus4, 7b5, etc. Thats alot.
