My Music

I picked up a nearly new steel-string guitar on E-bay for £50 in September '04, and taught myself a few chords. I've made a list of a bunch of songs I have searched out on the internet or through the local folk club. Apologies if any links don't work - please email me so I can change them.

Here is an excel spreadsheet I've produced to help transpose a bunch of chords together. This uses macros, so you'll have to enable them in your copy of excel for it to work: Chord_Transposer.xls

As a poor student, I'm always keen to find a way to make a few bob, so I've put up a few Amazon.co.uk ads for some CDs that I can recommend. If you go to Amazon via the links and end up buying them, I get a bit of commission. Thanks.
