Topic: Website
You might have noticed the new page added to the site just this past week, a page for songs that aren't full tabs, but have chord changes only. The reason that page came to be is because it occurred to me that I have stacks of chord charts that I've done over the years, and I could be using some of them on the site. Whether there will be any interest in them, I don't know, but it adds to the content of the site.
The majority of them were done several years ago, so any that I consider adding to the site will get a check over before they get posted. One of the problems I've encountered is that some of these were worked out off of albums that I've never replaced the vinyl version with a CD, meaning that I don't have the record anymore. In those cases, I can't check it against the record, of course. Like the one I posted today, Nazareth's "Heart's Grown Cold". I don't have a CD with that song on it. I had to look it up on YouTube and try to check it against a live version.
The page could be a slow growing one, as it won't be high priority. The main focus of the site will continue to be full tabs. I'll work at typing up chord charts on nights when I don't have any prepared tab to get into the computer. The exception to that would be if someone were to ask for the chord changes to a song. That would be given the same priority as a tab. For the most part, though, the page will be a side project.
So far it's mostly been a matter of re-arranging things. I've moved the handful of chord charts off of the tab pages and onto the Chords page. But I didn't want to open up the page until I had at least one new song to add. So I hooked the page up to the site on Thursday when I had the Bad Company song ready, then added a Nazareth song today.
These chord charts have been done over a long period of years, taking in a lot of different music I've listened to over that time. So there could be a real cross section of musical styles, from mainstream rock to prog to folk to metal to punk to New Wave. Just about anything might show up.
On the tab front, I'm currently half way through the next one.
