people - 

i think all this chord software is neat, and i'm sure it took
lots of work, but let me tell ya.....(speaking as an old crank)

if ya can't mount the computer inside yer guitar and take
it to the bandstand, that stuff is useless.

you have the finest chord computer ever created,
right between your ears. Learn to use it!

a little time spent learning chord spellings, a little
time learning the fingerboard, a simple piece of
paper, and you can have *billions* of voicings
for any chord in seconds. (i can show you how to get
every voicing for any chord in minutes using only 
one piece of paper...write me)

as long as you relay on a chord book, chord computer or
whatever, you are using a crutch- and you will never know
more then whoever programmed the box, or wrote the book.

learn how to think chords, and you will always be able
to find the chord you need, even if you are alone on
a dark stage with no other tools than your guitar....

straight ahead...

 Here's some of The Black Crowes "Twice as Hard" (notice open G tuning):

 Intro:

G 0-0-4\2-0-5------5\0--reapeat-about-3x--------------------------------------
D 0-0-------5------5\0--------------------------------------------------------

D -0-0--------5-5-5-5-5-------------------------------------------------------
G -0-0--------5-5-5-5-5-------------------------------------------------------
D ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Bridge (I'm go-o-o-one, Tell me I'm wro-o-o-ong) alternates between these
                       two chords.  I can't remember the order or how many
                       times.

D ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
B --5-----6-------------------------------------------------------------------
G --5-----5-------------------------------------------------------------------
D --5-----7-------------------------------------------------------------------
G --5-----5-------------------------------------------------------------------
D ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The chorus (Twi-i-ice as ha-ard) is just like the intro.

 Obviously, I have made little effort to accurately represent the timing.
 I'll go home and write it on paper before I send it to the FTP site (unless
 someone else does it first :)).

Several Stick players are out here on the net. It's not a weird as it
looks -- and you can get them with 12 strings now, too.

If you haven't seen a Chapman Stick, the basic idea is this:
	ten strings
	low action
	five octave range (covering bass and electric guitar)
	played by touching strings to frets with fingers of both hands
	stereo output (bass side, melody side)

If you want info on the Stick, look for a periodic info posting to
rec.music.makers, or email me at home (pmk%moliere@uunet.uu.net) and I'll
send it off to you.

I had to resolder the input jack on a friend's. Don't plug in big cables or

this way.  You get your (fill in equipment here) and it  costs you
$1000.  So you depreciate it down to $0 over 5 years.  Now after 5 years
this thing/instrument has had it, so you sell it.  Lets say it sells for

Scalloped fingerboard doesn't play faster. It only helps with string
bending, it is in fact harder to play fast on a scalloped
fingerboard. That's unless you are already good at high speed alternative
picking.

For nine weeks in Music Theory class, we discussed chord types, intervals,
keeping time, progressions, the works.  We then wrote songs inside this
framework.  The tenth week, the instructor summed up his experience by
saying, "Now that you know all the rules, forget them and play what
sounds good."  Why waste the time?  You never forget the rules.  You
will always remember the theory, and it is an excellent base upon
which you build.  The other thing nice about theory is how it helps
you explain your music to someone else.  Your average guitar newbie
comes up and wants to know what's in a Cmaj7 chord.  You can tell the
newbie what the notes are in the chord he/she asked about, or you can
tell them the structure of any maj7 chord (root, 3rd, 5th, 7th).

Whether you know it or not, you're using theory already.  What's the
difference between a maj7 chord and a 7th chord?   See?
