ikay Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Over the past 10 years or so I've created around 200 charts (revised figure) for my covers band in a simple format which is easy to use for the whole band. The charts just show the chords and song structure and are particularly useful when learning new songs. Minimises disagreements about who's getting it wrong lol! Sample attached below, all songs are in this simple one page format. Too many songs in the archive to list here but suffice to say largely wedding/function band material. If free access to these charts would be of interest to anyone please drop me a pm and, if there's enough interest, I'll explore ways to make them available to download somehow. Also, if there are any particular songs you'd like charts for just let me know. I'm recently retired and have some time on my hands Chords-This Will Be.doc Edited December 21, 2017 by ikay 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Based on that sample, I'd say they would be a valuable resource for most people on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBunny Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Awesome and i would definitely be interested in getting access to all the charts. A bit like The Real Book brought up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dand666 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Send this over to the Transcriptions Page, that'll be handy! Look forward to seeing more! Also, may I suggest, instead of chords, maybe using the Nashville Number system would be really useful. So that one chart can be used, no matter the key :-) Edited December 19, 2017 by dand666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm talking to ikay at the moment about potentially hosting these as a page on BC, indexed and with a 'requests' area. Should be useful!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Best idea on BC since... Well, since the last Very Good Idea. Excellent page layout, simple to use (even for non-drummers...). I've a fairly extensive 'collection' of disparate songs, standards and others, but in very varied formats. This is about the best I've seen, and I'd be interested in adding to my library. Stout work, sir; you're a Good Egg for making such effort available. Have a resounding hand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
