I think there were about two-and-a-half thousand members when I joined.....

:D :D :D

Vic Likewise, GN was the second guitar site I found. The other one had descended into petty squabbling and name-calling, none of which had anything to do with the guitar. So, once I'd found this place I set up shop in the GN woodshed at the end of main street and frightened the children by talking about demisemiquavers and perfect cadences. It paid dividends; the guy who owns GN gave me his prettiest daughter as a concubine (actually, I'm making that bit up.) I never went back to the first site, although I do go talk classical guitar and flamenco at other places.

I recall there were less than 500 members when I joined; standout people were a guy called Ryan who was polite to everybody; Jazzarati (from Oz I believe) who disappeared just after getting the Jamey Andreas book; some guy called Nick who didn't run the place then; some guy called dhodge who had a day job in Chicago. Others came and went.]]> News Alan Green https://guitarnoise.forum/news/100-members-and-growing/paged/5/#post-358343 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/100-members-and-growing/paged/5/#post-358338 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:38:33 +0000

We now have TWENTY THOUSAND members. Well actually, 20,001.....

That's a lot of guitarists. If we all played a D chord at the same time at maximum volume, d'you think we could actually move the Earth on its axis?

:D :D :D

I laughed at the title of the post knowing there are over 2,000 registered members. Then I looked at the date of the post and realize it was about a year ago. Imagine if it expanded by 2000 members in a year. Doing straight math you'd get 10,000 over 5 years. Yet I'd be confident in using an extra growth factor of about 12% compunded annually. So I'll make my prediction and sombody can dig it up in 4 years to say I'm wrong or right. My estimate is that there will be 11,790 registered members on the GN forums on September 24, 2007. Who is going to dig this one up then?

What you probably failed to take into account was word-of-mouth.....active members telling friends about this site. Even so, that was a pretty impressive guess - I for one wouldn't have thought it'd err so much on the low side!

:D :D :D

Gm for the verses...Hmm I've never seen/heard it played with a Gm I saw it written that way years ago.....G, Bb, C/ G, Bb, Db, C/ G, Bb C/ Bb G for the intro, then Gm and F for the verse...then C, Ab, G for the "Smoke On The Water" bit....

Sounded good to me, so I've always played it that way!

:D :D :D
