Tab shows you where to put your fingers to play notes
ie in the example you put your finger on the second fret on the third string
you use it for playing laed guitar lines

Chords are where you play three or more different notes at once - it can be shown using tab but most people find it easier to use a chord chart. A chord chart shows the name of the chord and the fingering
you may find a tutor book helpful. theres lots of good books for beginners.
My brother in law is a Leeds fan so I follow their fortunes with half an eye
it been a disasterous time for Leeds over three years having been relegated twice and starting at the bottom of the league one table with lots of fairly small clubs
I imagine that they have a large and loyal fan base and will start climbing back (they are taking their time over it tho)

what a diligent player you are
the pull off you use depends slightly in the effect you want - do want a ghost note (very soft) or an equal sounding note
I tend to pull off by plucking the string slightly as well as coming off it
I love that Angus Young thing where he plays succesive hammer on and pull offs _ i can't remember the best example " let there be rock" I think

Have to disagree
some of the aforementioned are better known as singer songerwriters than guitarist - but
i would say that there are a number who are outstanding instrumentalists and would distinguish themselves in a band even without the bonus of writing their own songs and singing
i think you are being overly influenced by the fact that Raitt and Batten play blues/rock derived lead guitar and that has become the gold standard by which guitarists are judged - there are other styles of guitar which deserve recogniton too (folk, alternative).
and why not, indeed
the pretenders did some excellent songs and I recommended one of them on this forum just last week as a romantic ballad, I think it was " back on the chain gang"
i left out some good players - nancy wilson, joni mitchell, lita ford, eva cassidy because they aren't regularly recording (or sadly departed) but I'll put Chrissie Hyndes back if there's popular demand
I sing fulsome prison blues badly too !
I shot a man in reno just to see him die - great lyric and when Johnny cash sings it - you can believe him
Tuesdays gone by Skynard is a great song to murder
Hey Joe By Jimi hams up good too
A while ago I asked you all to help me compile a list of outstanding women guitarists because I was disappointed that many great guitarist were overlooked in readers polls for guitar magazines
What I want this time is the best performances. I want your favorite song by a female guitarist preferably one with some distinguished guitar parts in them
Here is the short list of artist from last time (this time I want songs) -
Rock/alternative
Tanya Donnelly (Throwing Muses, Breeders, Belly, Tanya Donnelly)
Kristen Hersh (Throwing muses, Kristen Hersh)
PJ Harvey
Avril Lavigne
Liz Phair
Ani Difranco
Gabriela (instrumentalist, Rodrigo y Gabriela)
Shawn Colvin
Joan Jett (Joan Jett and the Blackhearts)
Jennifer Batten (instrumentalist - performs with Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck and others)
Melissa Etheridge
Rock/Folk/Country/Blues
KT Turnstall
Colbie Caillat
Sheryl Crow
Emmy Lou Harris
Bonnie Raitt
Jewel
Classical
Liona Boyd
Charo (flamenco)
Lily Afshar
very true
I can play major, minor, minor seventh, dominant seventh and power chords
I tend you use distortion and hit the strings hard so 13th chords, diminished chords and such like are pretty indistinguishable
my main aim is to master the D, C and G shape barre chords so i don't have to move so far up and down the neck when playing in positon
if I was to start playing jazz standards or classical I would have to sharpen up my act but that ain't gonna happen soon
the first is a C chord using the barre chord shape based on A
the second looks like a A# chord using the same barre shape. However it has a C in the bass (5th string). its unusual.
my advice is keep trying
in the first example barre at the third fret and use the 3rd finger to play the notes on the fifth fret
you may find it difficult to hold down the 3rd fret on the second string while playing the 1st string cleanly. when i do quick changes I tend to muffle the second string - I think that you will get away with damping that string
good luck

its a great bonus to this forum to have a place to post songs. I have enjoyed listening to songs on this
all you chordies get posting

Music can be very therapeutic
young children take up a lot of time and energy and it can sometimes be difficult to sort out priorities
I made the decision to spend more time with my kids but it was mot an easy one .
then one day I looked at the lryics to "cats in the cradle" by Harry Chapin. Its a great song and I was moved. much happier about giving up the little things that i gave up to play with my kids.
always good to have a fresh reminder.

if you carry on writing songs like this we'll might give you a statue, yet. where do you want it
reminds me of "act naturally" by vonnie morrison "their gonna put me in the movies, their gonna a big star outta me, they want a man whose sad and lonely and all I've gotta to do is act naturally"
lets rock it up - we may not get a statue but what the heck
I'ts

with an accent on the second and forth beats to give it that slightly funky feel
put in some dramatic pauses.....
the powertab archive have the full transcription
not sure i understand
if you want to play chords at the fifth fret then you might want to use a chord chart rather than tab - you take a barre chord and move it up the neck. at each sucessive fret the chord changes one note so an e shape on the 5th fret sounds like an A
it is possible to work out chords from tab if the rhythm part is tabbed because different chords have different shapes - there are five main bar chord shapes C,A,G,E and D.
XFM
its a London station which plays alternative music
franz ferdinand, razorlight, artic monkeys, the editors, kaiser chiefs and lots of other indie/rock bands -
it has a good site
otherwise Virgin
plays more mainstream rock
the speed of learning doesn't get quicker - you learn a lot in the first year or two and then progress seems to slow a bit but the good news is
that you do get better better at being able to play what you want to play - when you start you have to learn exercises etc - later you apply them
and when you play new songs you can more quickly get the basics together by applying already learnt skills
imo
Soppy songs with big Riffs
- run to you - Bryan Adams
- back on the chain gang - The pretenders
- I'll be there for you (friends) - The rembrants
- my girl - temptations
- wicked game - chris isaac
- need your love so bad - fleetwood mac
I have quite a few too - there aint nothing like vinyl
Who remembers Napster in the days when Napster was a peer to peer service operating on the margins of copyright law ?
Well
I still use Napster. Its free, and relatively hassle free and it legal
you can either buy tracks at 79p a track or subscribe
If you subscribe you pay £12 a month for unlimited streaming of any songs in a huge catalogue and you can make playlists etc (and Napster pays royalties to the author)
Its not an advert - Im a genuine fan
what about other people
do you listen to i tunes, watch you tube or do you surf the net on file exchanges
or perhaps you just tune into the radio
pehaps you have a big collection of 45s
tell us
i think you could technically be breaching copyright if you played a song posted on chordie without the writer's permission
most commercial writers delegate their right to issue licences and collect royalties to PRS but as you say members of chordie are unlikely to have registered with PRS
Hi
Most songs on Chordie are shown using open chords even though its easier (and more accurate to play using barre chords.
Take a switch from A to B. It very hard using open chords but a synch using the E shape barre you just slide two frets up
Similarly a switch from A to D. Just change from an E shape on the 5th fret to an A Shape on the same fret
My suggestion is to take your favorite songs and instaed of playing them in open chords see if playing barre chords makes it easier.
On power chords - I usually play the power chord using the bottom three strings of the E and A shape barre chords
they are heavy sounding chords and sound good with distortion for rock numbers.
Hugely complicated I'm afraid
In the UK all music produced in the last 70 years is copyrighted
to perform that music outside your home / or to people other than your circle of friends you should make sure you are covered by a licence
These are available from the Performing Rights Society (PRS). They reimburse members (musicians) who have registered their music with the PRS
However in general for live performances the PRS will issue a licence the venue/event organiser rather than to the performer (in which case the performer does not need a separate licence)
the PRS issues licence to pubs, club or festivals. It also provides councils with a licence for busking sites
in your case of the pub you should note that the landlord of a pub is unlikely to tolerate performances of any music unless you have his permission.
he may however be able to hire out private rooms to performers and non paying guests ( certainly for weddings and birthday parties) - in which case you don't need a licence either
the landlord may also have an events licence for non commercial events - such as open mic / performances - which he pays a licence fee to the PRS for.
the PRS also issues licences to people using music performances online.
it may charge a fee which will depends on - the likely audience - whether its commercial - whether it supports advertising/products - whether it is downloadable
note the law may be different in Ireland
Hi everyone,
I am not a songwriter at all, but I skim this forum to see the songs out here.
I am only a learning/beginner on the guitar, but already had lots of fun with the songs from this forum.When playing with friends, or in my livingroom, I am sure there are no problems, but I can think of situations were legality comes into play, for instance:
- if I would go and record a song and publish either on CD or any other (online) media for money.That one is quiet simple, when you publish a recording for commercial purposes, you need obviously permission of the author. (and fee's and other stuff)
But what if:
1) by accident I find myself in a pub (I am not being paid) in a session, and I play a song in public ? (still non-commercial)
2) not by accident, and I am paid a minimum fee for entertainment, and I play the song in a pub. (this is kind-a-commercial). Note, the "royalty fees" to the IMRO (ireland) for public performance have been taken care off.
3) I play, record, and make available on the internet (non-commercial)
I just want to make sure I do not overstep any boundaries.
Thanks in advance for your responses
Best Regards, and keep up the songs... all good fun
Edwin.
if you bought the case in a UK court you might have a case in law against the person who performed your song without paying royalties
in the UK copyright protection is automatic - you don't need to register
however the position may be different in other countries
In the UK the Performing Rights Society collects royalties for songwriters from the owners of pubs, clubs, festivals etc - so if you are convinced you have a potential hit in the making - and are worried about missing out on the royalties which are due you might contact PRS - and register your music.
I have made some comments separately in another post about the requirements on performers
here's my suggestion
