    Simple. Polish up your National and use it to look at a reflection. Just like Perseus slayed Medusa.

    Thanks for the response, rcc56. The first thing I did check was the Gibson website. Then a few stores that I know used to sell Gibson and they listed none. Did some searching and did find...

    Re: Gibson Post Mortem

    Thanks for the responses. I haven't seen any in shops lately so I thought that they had completely stopped.

    Where is the mando factory?

    Re: Chord notation questions re + - and o

    I found this key https://musescore.org/en/handbook/chord-symbols
    That clears up the o slash. I guess the only doubts are why both dim and "o" are used. And I ain't never seen a -6 before.

    Re: Chord notation questions re + - and o

    This is the chart -- https://musescore.com/user/355131/scores/5179469

    My guess on "o" is it is dim7 and "dim" is dim triad with no 7th. But I done know what the slash o is.

    I do like that for finding chord voicings, very nice. Other things that would be cool --

  19. Re: Anyone know of a website or app that will display all chord n

    Yeah, although I'd rather it have the degrees of the scale (1st, 3rd, etc.) than the absolute notes.

    I'll take a look.
  20. Anyone know of a website or app that will display all chord notes

    I'm looking to visualize every note for chords so I can figure out several different voicings and also arpeggios in many different positions. So it would produce a diagram of a mando neck with an...

    Or is it the width from the outermost strings of the G and E course?
