Chords don't mean doodly to anyone, Sorcha. Must people think of them as a form of music....

Hello, and welcome to the zoo. We're only really dangerous at feeding time.......so come on in! I do mostly lyric/tune searches and am a fiddle player so chords don't mean doodly to me.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, frankyz! I'll just say 'yep' to all the good things already said about the Mudcat, so's not to waste your time . . . It's great to see another guitar teacher on the forum . . . be prepared to have your brains picked (pardon the pun) by several of us here. Especially myself, who's self-taught and always lookin' to learn something new.

Hope you stay around and enjoy the place as much as I have in the four-plus years I've been here!

All the best, Áine

(By the way, can I pick your brains in this thread??)

Welcome, Frankyz. Stick around, and you'll age very quickly. After just a few months I feel like a senior citizen already.

Make yourself a large pot of tea/coffee (depending on which side of the Atlantic you live on), write off the next few hours, set the message filter to 30 days and click on "refresh". Then sit back and enjoy the fun. You'll discover a whole bunch of fiendly people, a few whose views may surprise you, and a handful of assholes with poisonous personalities who post as Guest but don't manage to spoil things for everyone else.

Hi Franky, welcome to the `Cat! There are a lot of folks here, with all sorts of approaches and preferences. I listen mostly to Irish and Scots groups, such as Lunasa, Capercaillie, etc. I'm also fond of women singers like Kate Rusby and Niamh Parsons.

Look through some old threads if you will, there's stuff there for days...

Cheers,
Michael

G'day frankyz. Welcome to one of the best sources of all-round folk type knowledge, information and sheer entertainment around.... No, strike that "one of". I've only been around here a couple of months myself but it's terrific. Just don't take anything too seriously and you'll fit right in... That's what they told me anyway..........

I just thought i`d introduce myself, and say hello to all you good folks out there. Not to sure how everything work around here, but i`m sure you will correct me if i do something i am not supposed to. Ok a bit about myself. I am 45, a guitar teacher, and i live on the south coast of england. I want to get to know a lot more about folk music, old and trad, with a view to performing. so any sugestions as to what is popular, and what people are listening to at the moment, i would be very greatfull. cheers to you all.
