Fortunately, I use a program, Songsheet Generator, that relies on the same formatting source code that you use, so I’ve included below my markup text correcting the errors I mention. Hopefully it’ll just slot straight in to yours. I’ve added a line of dashes too, with the chord symbols embedded so that they display above the appropriate bar in the tab. The ‘x’s to mark rests at the beginnings of bars. Jeffrey Thomas - Try a free Skype guitar, bass or ukulele lesson or browse his unique tab and video archives. Ukulele Bedford - Formed about five years ago (as Bedford Ukulele Group), Ukulele Bedford is an open, community based group. If we were a corporation, we ought to have some sort of 'mission statement', but we arent so we don't. We just aim to have fun playing music of all This is pretty much useful for anyone with multiple devices or those that want to create Favourites at home and then display them on a different device elsewhere (say at a Uke Club). So if you only use one device and are happy with that then you don't need to use this enhancement (although future enhancements may need it) Logging In To The System I was looking at Sway ( https://ozbcoz.com/Songs/song.php?ID=2718,Soprano), and noticed some errors in the tab. There’s 6 notes in the opening bars of each line in the verse, not 4, and in the bridge while the notes are correct, the bar markers are in the wrong place. I tried to make use of the edit facility but it didn’t save (a wise precaution on your part no doubt.
As late as 1967, when you heard banjo on mainstream radio, it was nearly always in C tuning – even if the song was in the key of G! For one thing, if your banjo’s in C tuning, it’s still very easy to play a song in the key of G. But if your banjo’s in G tuning, it’s a little more difficult to credibly play songs in the key of C! Started playing 5 string banjo in the late 60’s with Pete Seeger’s book & LP record using standard C tuning (gCGBD) as that was what Pete seemed to emphasize, and it fit well for the folk tunes of that era, using the “basic strum” and/or frailing style. The movie Bonnie and Clyde with Foggy Mountain Breakdown (Theme From Bonnie & Clyde) played by Flatt & Scruggs sadly over popularized G tuning as recent as 1967. Mike Warren - Great banjolele player and really good teacher - has a forum that is developing very well Peter Moss - A brilliant ukulele and banjolele player - happens to be patron of our club as well !! I very much recommend that you use the online songs rather than the PDF songbooks so you get the latest versions of the song!!!!!!Doctor Uke - A great collection of ukulele songs from beginner to rather advanced - with some rare songs in there This also means that if you login on, say, an iPad you can see the same Favourites as if you login on your PC. The five string banjo standard C tuned (aka Drop C) is (g4 C3 G3 B3 D4) just the same as the open G tuning (gDGBD), except that the fourth string is a step lower. That makes the lowest note you can play on the 5-string is a C instead of a D. So C was the more useful tuning for 5-string banjo players who were part of ensemble that featured but didn’t revolve around banjo, including the Weavers, the Limeliters, and the Kingston Trio, to name a few. The new January 2020 Songbooks are now out with a bit over 190 new songs. They can be found at https://ozbcoz.com/songbooks/
The songs on the local device will overwrite ones already on the database (if say you have already added the same song from a PC or another device) - so be aware of that!! There is a facility to allow you to upload any Favourites that you have on a device (created before this login system or created when you are not logged in) to the central database. The only difference between G and C tuning is what happens on the fourth string, my request is to offer 5 string banjo tuning in both keys with the simple tuning change of D to C on the 4th string.
Bytown Ukulele - A great group that prrides a wonderful set of songbooks as well as tutorials, hints and tips etc etc - You have to look at this one! Phil Doleman - As said by Ken Middleton (Marketing Manager - Ohana Ukuleles) “One of the most talented players in the UK” - and a really nice guy with it !!
Great Deal
