Thread Name: Does anyone here actually want chords?
Subject: RE: Does anyone here actually want chords?
People ask for chords relatively often. I always post chords to older pop songs (older stuff I know, not this new stuff) jazz standards, Bossa Novas, pop/folk and other stuff that has modern "Arranged" sort of chords that people might not easily pick out by ear--generallyI work from the charts that I used to use when I played--though I have been known to work out chords for stuff, as well--I don't typically post chords that I haven't played, because so much of the stuff that is out there floating around on the web is wrong or at least not quite right--I also do a tidy little business in correcting and smoothing out chords that others have posted--

Often, with more traditional stuff, there are many different ways that the melodies can be chorded, and people are looking for the chords that are used in a particular recording--I generally leave that to folks who know what is wanted better than I do--

Anyway, you are not the only one--there are lots and lots of tunes that have been posted with chords amongst the threads over the last many years, you just have to delve a bit--
