Woodsie ,don't call me an arsehole - with or without an asterisk.
I'm over 15 stone ( 200lbs) 6 Foot and punch every ounce of my weight
I don't know why, when I started the thread it didn't put my name
but we'll sort that out later.
I've been playing the Folkie type acoustic guitar for over 30 years .
Brucie says that once you recognise D13 flat 5 flat 9 etc - all that is miles
over my head but I accept everything he says.
I certainly do not read music and I'm not sure about "transposing"
as WYSIWYG mentioned - Is this changing it from C,F,G, into G,C,D type of thing ?.
MMario might have unlocked it for me saying implying they strumming for
someone else and Joe Offer is probably more on my wave length of understanding
why I asked the question and Ebbie nice to meet you – that's SOME system you
have there !!
As for your own contribution Woodsie - it was disappointing - certainly if I can hum
the tune I can generally play it. Asking for the chords surely demands that if someone
says "has any one got the chords for Wild Rover starting in the key of ....." then we know
that either they sing in that key or they are going to accompany someone in that key .
If they do not posses this basic building brick of requesting the song in a certain key
then I hardly believe they will be capable in changing the key to suit whoever
they are going to accompany.
We all know songs which have a tricky chord or two and – sure - we've had to ask
some one - is this right ? or does this one sound OK ? etc.
I just cannot understand someone asking for all the chords for an entire song
and ( worst of all ) a usually well - known song .
