I have room for about 4-5 people in my house for an acoustic jam. As -this will be introductory I will suggest a few songs here. Note that you - can go to http://defaria.com/songbook to get copies of the words and -chords for these, and even the MP3 on some songs. Of course there are lots of other songs we can do or just straight out jamming.

Andrew DeFaria's Songbook

- -

As a professional musician do yourself a favor and invest in a tablet or if -you must an iPad and get either SongBook (for Android) or OnSong (for iPad) then -send me a request to sign up for Dropbox which integrates with these apps and -your "songbook" will be automated. Note that Songbook is also available for -Windows. More info on this is available here. For -people who must remain with paper...

- -

The following songs are available here. Select an artist or a song and then -Go or type in a lyric or song title into the search box. You can print the -result if you wish to have a paper copy. If new songs are added by me or others -this page will automatically update so you can come back here and get your -copy.

Recent Changes

- -

I've made some more changes:

- -

Removed the list of songs from the front page. There were getting to be just -too many songs listed to be helpful. Instead I now have a drop down list of -artists and songs as well as a search box. Select an artist or a song and then -select go to go to an artist page or a song page. Or search for a term. The search -will search for a word or phrase in the title, artist or in the song itself. The -search is not that bright but works fairly well.
There's a new artist's page which shows you all of the artists songs in one -page. Many artists have only one or a few songs. Some artists have quite a few -songs.
The song pages now are on auto play. If they have music assoicated with them -then their music will start playing automatically.

- -

Past Changes

- -

Changed the home icon to something much bigger. Clicking on this gets you - back to the Songbook home page.
Now if the song has an associated .mp3 file in the Media folder that - exactly matches the song's title then a little HTML5 MP3 player will - appear. You can play the song while you read the words and follow the - chords! Note: You can right click and save the song's mp3 file to - your computer. If the song does not have a corresponding .mp3 file then - no .mp3 player is displayed. For example, Amie.
Again, if the song has a corresponding .mp3 file I now re-write the .pro - file to include {musicpath:/sdcard/SongBook/Medai/<title>.mp3}. - This string "links" the ChordPro file with music such that (in SongBook, the - app I use on my Android Tablet) you can play the song's mp3 file on your - tablet! I'm not sure if OnSong (the iPad equivalent of SongBook) does the same - thing. If you sign up for sharing my songbook via DropBox (send me email if - you want an invite) you should be all set.

- -

Note: Currently my code is very picky. The file name for the .pro file -and the .mp3 file must match exactly - is case sensitive, etc. If you -have access to my songbook in DropBox and wish to add a .pro file and it's -corresponding .mp3 file then be sure to match the names up correctly and put the -.mp3 file in the Media folder.

- -

Future Changes

- -

Here are some of the things I'm thinking of implementing:

- -

I'm thinking of re-vamping the main page. Instead of listing all the - songs, which are getting to be a bit much, I would like to possibly make a - little search facility that would scan the .pro files for text matching in the - song titles and lyrics themselves.
Another change I'm thinking of making is making it so that when you hover - over a chord a little popup happens that shows the chord's fingering. Sorta - like it's done over on tabs-ulitimate-guitar.com (For example: - here). - Anybody know how to do that?
Maybe a simple editor so people can edit songs directly.
Maybe interfacing with Dropbox to display information about the last - person to update the songfile...

Songbook/OnSong and chordpro (.pro) files

- -

Rather than carry around sheets of paper for everybody, fumbling -and trying to find the right song sheet etc., you can use your -computer to help automate this process.

- -

A chordpro file (signified by a .pro extension) is not a fancy file -format, but it gets the job done and is easy to edit with any editor -like notepad. You can google "chordpro" and read all about the format -if you like.

- -

If you have a iPad or a Android tablet you can have all of your -songs with you wherever you go. Linked -with DropBox and everybody can -be on the same page. Worst case you have all of the music you know at -your fingertips. There are two apps, one for iPads -(OnSong) -and the other for Android and PCs -(Songbook) -that will work with .pro file to render them nicely on your iPad or -Android tablet. And Songbook also works on your Windows PC where -you can print out copies of the songs if you inist on dealing with -paper.

- -

Finally, you could go to my website and render any of the songs in -my Songbook using the web (described below).

- -

Chordpro file format

- -

You can go -to http://defaria.com/songbook/Songs -and you'll see a list of all the files in that directory, the .pro -files of the songs I have. You can click on any of them but what you -will get is an unrendered version of the .pro file. For example: If -you click on Brown Eyed Girl.pro you'll see:

- -

-    {t:Brown Eyed Girl}
-    {st:Van Morrison}
-    {key:G}
-
-    [G]Hey, where did [C]we go, da[G]ys when the ra[D]ins came
-    [G]Down in the holl[C]ow, [G]playin' a ne[D]w game
-    [G]Laughin' and a-s[C]ingin' hey-hey, [G]skippin' and a-j[D]umpin'
-    [G]In the misty mor[C]ning fog, with o[G]ur he[D]arts thumpin and yo[C]u[D]
-    My Brown-eyed gi[G]rl[Em], yo[C]u my[D] brown eyed [G]girl [D]
-
-    [G]Hey whatever [C]happened, [G]Tuesday went [D]so slow
-    [G]Goin down the [C]old mine with a [G]transistor [D]radio
-    [G]Standin' in the [C]sunlight laughin', [G]hide behind the [D]rainbow's wall
-    [G]Slippin' and a-[C]slidin', [G]all along the [D]waterfall with [G]you
-    My Brown-eyed gi[G]rl[Em], yo[C]u my[D] brown eyed [G]girl [D]
-
-    {soc}
-    [D]Do you remember when we used to [G]sing
-    Sha-la-la [C]la-la la-la [G]la-la la-la [D]de-da
-    [G]Sha-la-la [C]la-la la-la [G]la-la la-la [D]de-da
-    La-de-[G]da[D]
-    {eoc}
-
-    [G][Em][C][D][G][D]
-
-    So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own
-    Saw you just the other day, my how you have grown
-    Cast my memory back there lord, sometimes I'm overcome, thinkin'bout
-    Making love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you
-    My brown eyed girl, you my brown eyed girl
-
-    {soc}
-    [D]Do you remember when we used to [G]sing
-    Sha-la-la [C]la-la la-la [G]la-la la-la [D]de-da
-    [G]Sha-la-la [C]la-la la-la [G]la-la la-la [D]de-da

You see things like {t:Brown Eyed Girl} (title) and {key:G} as well -as embedded tags for the chords ([G], [C], etc). Doesn't look as -pretty right? But when you include the webchord.cgi portion you are -running a script named webchord.cgi which reads the file from the -parameter chordpro (that's why you need the chordpro=song.pro portion) -and then reformats stuff into HTML that looks pretty, centering the -title of the song, putting the chords over the words and bolding the -text between {soc} and {eoc} (start of chorus, end of chorus). So -given the above SongTitle="Brown Eyed Girl" we can formulate the URL -to render it thusly:

- -

http://defaria.com/songbook/webchord.cgi?chordpro=/web/songbook/Songs/Brown Eyed Girl.pro

- -

You can do the same thing for the other songs there too.

- -

I should just write a quick script that gets all of the .pro files -in the directory songbook/Songs and then formulates a page of links -that have the webchord.cgi links to render them like:

- -

You have to fill in the <SongTitle> portion of the link. So, for -example, you take:

- -

-http://defaria.com/songbook/Songs/webchord.cgi?chordpro=<SongTitle>.pro -

- -

pop it into the address bar of your browser then change <SongTitle> -to the title of the song you want to render:

- -

-http://defaria.com/songbook/webchord.cgi?chordpro=/web/songbook/Songs/Amie.pro -

- -

Note:

- -

URLs are case sensitive! ...chordpro=amie.pro is not the same as ...chordpro=Amie.pro
Browsers tend to change spaces in a URL to %20. %20 is the octal representation for a space character. So if you see %20 in a URL like http://defaria.com/songbook/webchord.cgi?chordpro=/web/songbook/Songs/Back%20in%20the%20USSR.pro. Don't fear - they're merely spaces.

- -

Songbook for PC

- -

You can get a Windows PC version of Songbook -at http://linkesoft.com/songbook/windows.html. It -will run on your PC and render songs like:

- -

It's $20 and you can even print out your stuff if you still use -paper or need paper for other people.
