Johnny - thanks and I think that's a great idea about storing the music on computer. I have a scanner at home so that wouldn't be a problem. I'll bring it up to him at the next practice. None of it is computerized now... it's all copied from various sources. The leader is the piano player, so this would most benefit the "string" section (me and the bass player). The horns are on their own...

Vic, to travel the internet safely these days, you need (at the minimum) either software or hardware firewall, virus protection and adware/malware protection. Think of it as stepping out onto the surface of a hostile alien planet.
There are free versions of AVG Antivirus , Ad Aware and Spywarebot available.

Or else do it with a computer not connected to your other home computers, one which has no personal info on it and you don't mind reloading the OS every few weeks.

I've been using a combo of Norton Internet Security, Google Toolbar and AdAware. I have never had a problem with this combination (knock on Woody).

I used to be in the machine tool industry. We were looking for a piece of equipment sourced out of the orient. Take my advice and avoid searching for "Chinese Screw Machines" :eek:

(or not) :p

CrimsonLake,

I printed this chart out, laminated it in plastic and put it in my wallet, ready to use when the "Song Leader" chooses his non-chorded songs... works pretty well.

OR!

Turn the distortion wa-ay up, the volume wa-ay down, and play two two-note chords...sliding up and down the neck 'till they sound right.

Tell 'em, "It sounds more passionate this way!"

". . I'm playing guitar at our church services and once in awhile the leader will hand out a song sheet with no chords . ."

I created a chart like Tim posted in a PDF if anyone would like a copy, Email me through the OFC if you are not someone I already communicate with via email (this way you avoid my spam blocker)
