Thanks for that man....but i couldnt understand a word of it!
Id like to know this, but thats a bit complicated! Is there an easier way of explaining it?
Bearing in mind i have NO music theory knowledge.
I appreciate the effort, i really do, but am utterly clueless...

Hi all, I was just wondering how people are able to tell which chords are played in a song just by listening to it.
Is there any specific technique?
Thanks, Nathan

Re: stumming pattern for " No Woman No Cry"? (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Im not sure. Go onto YouTube. Either watch a video of Bob Marley playing it, or watch a guitar tutorial on the song.
That's how I do it anyway, hope this helps ![]()

Topic: Band Names (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Since this is where all the creative people are, im on the hunt for a name of a band we've just set up.
My ideas:
Amp Addicts
Remote Madness
Painted Picture
Colder Colours (band is probably going to be a mix of chilled acoustic songs and some
Closed Book upbeat-pop/rock-not really pigeon holing our style yet though!)
The Silhouettes
Red Lions
The Bright Nights
All just Brainstorming, what do you think?
And do you have any other ideas?

I used to hate trying the dreaded F and now it's just clicked while trying to learn some of the great mutant Jack Johnsons songs. Now I love it!

Topic: I have some problems with no idea how to try and fix them... (17 replies, posted in Acoustic)
HI all
ive been learning guitar for a few months now, my chord changes are very good-in general!-and i know a few songs.
My biggest problem is that i dont know when to come in if i was trying to sing along and i struggle with my rhythm and strumming pattern if i do get the timing right!
Also, I havnt the slightest clue-if i was writing a song- as to what chord to play and why a specific chord is used
I would like to start writing songs but i have no idea how to get over these problems.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Regards, Nathan

Re: Beginner 6 String (11 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Thats a good idea, but would strummimg not be compromised with the larger gap between strings? Just wondering, but if not i may try it. Would make picking much easier anyway.
Thatnks. Nathan.

Re: Beginner 6 String (11 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
thanks for the advice.
ill be doing my searching mostly in northern ireland, if anyone knows whereabouts i can get a good deal here it would be appreciated (though i doubt it!).
i suppose if i get my mum to come along to test guitars she may give in and addd to my budget hopefully!
also is online shopping a good idea, and if so are there any uk sites that have a good reputation?
Again, thanks for your advice because i really am clueless when it comes to guitar buying (and playing for that matter!)

If so i would ask for any recommendations as i cannot go to a shop and see what sounds good (as i cannot yet play). im only 16 so i have a budget of around 150 pounds.
