Topic: titles

Hi everybody,
After being a stalker on chordie for quite some time, downloading songs etc. I've finally decided its time to come out.
I've been a rustie for a great number of years (re Neil Young). And was wondering.
Is chordie a collective title for its followers,are we chordies ?

Re: titles

Well it's only fair that after a little over six years and 999 posts, I should have a chance to welcome a new (ish) member to our Chordie Community.

Welcome! and it is nice to have you join in our discussions, and having been a "lurker" for a few months and surely reading the posts..... what took ya so long Bud?   (just joking if you couldn't tell)

Anyway that is a very good question, and I don't recall it ever coming up before.  My guess is anything that fits the context is acceptable. To the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been a ruling or vote or decree that specifically "names" the members as a group.  So unless it is demeaning in some way or offensive, take your pick.

Tell us a bit about yourself, music tastes etc., after a really short while you'll start to feel like one of the "Family" except you don't have to send everyone a Christmas card.... at over 500k members writer's cramp would cripple you for life, and your guitar would get really lonely.

Welcome Aboard & Take Care;

Re: titles

Hi keepit
it's not set in stone but think the term Chordians is the one most used to describe Chordie members.

Re: titles

Hi all, thanks for the welcome. Just a few words about myself.
I'm from Nottingham England, musically I'm rooted in the 60's but main influence is anything Neil Young. Also a complete technophobic so please don't expect any clever stuff. You'll catch me usually lurking around the songwriting and acoustic pages.
Bye for now, catch up with you all again soon.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Kind of makes me wonder if there are any Chordian accordion players here.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

To quote Tom Waits,

"A true gentleman knows how to play the accordian, but refuses to do so"

Hank's prosepctive gutiar player said: "Mr Williams, I'm not sure I can play for you, the onliest chords I know are C D & G"
Hank repleis, after a short pause: "Well, what else is there?"

Re: titles

I refer to it as the "Chordie Family", but Chordians has been used a lot.  wink  Welcome to the forums!!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: titles

Lol.   I love the chordie family .... Everyone is so helpful and nice, not to mention talented( aka... Phil, Amy , and Dino among many others) and  the Friday blues edition is awesome!   If I am by myself , even though I'm playing guitar, I guess I would turn into an "a chodian"!   smile lol. Welcome to heaven from the dark side - enjoy the friends here.

Re: titles

I am fairly certain that it was Lieven 'gitaardocphil' who first used the term "Chordian". I have certainly found him using it in 2007 smile
