hi zombie,

doesnt matter if you are new or not, every reply here will be valued by at least one person that reads it i would think so it has some value.

When you write songs is it the lyrics and the music together or lyrics first then music, or vice versa?

I think what you had said is great advice too, something I do a lot. I write my rants down a lot ( and I have a lot) and also the bit where you said about a message in a song even if no one else knows what you mean, I do that an awful lot, most of my songs have some sort of meaning and usually having a go at someone in disguise as a song and sometimes I am the only one that knows about it and it will stay that way.

With a song wrote like that you can put more feeling into the song and normally comes across as a better written song.

do you ever put any stuff on the net in form of a video?

Ken

James,

Thanks!!!

I had a feeling you would help me out as you do with so many questions on Chordie.

I think you must surely qualify to be an official replier ,lol.

You really do have usefu things to tell people and you seem to like helping people, you go out your way too.

It was mentioned somewhere else from Steve as well how helpful you are.

Keep up the good work,

Cheers

Ken

I never realised that with the chord patterns but you are spot on correct.

This could help me quite a bit i tihnk somehow, I dont know why yet but I am sure there is some technical issues in the chord patterns there,

Now while suffering a hangover I think I am talking twattles.

Like the guitar I cheat on the uke with chords, I think E is hard to do too so I just leave out the bottom string, like I do wit hthe chord B on the guitar,lol

If at first you dont succeed try again? NO!! if at first you dont succeed,,,,,CHEAT!!

Hi David,

Good replies there.

You can cheat. Think of an easy song, or a hard one, use the rythum and chords and structure but just change the words. That is unless you plan to make money from it.

I write songs and sometimes I write only one verse and cannot think of anything else, but i dont give up on it, I save it into my computer on word document under "SONG IDEAS" then go back to them now and then and pull some out and add more to them, some are still sitting there since 2001, i have got some lyrics scribbled down from 1995 that I have done no more with.

But whatever you do, as long as you like it then you enjoy it.

David Bowie said something that inspired me to continue writing when Some people told me my songs were not that good. Mr Bowie says " If you write a song and you like it then someone in the world somewhere will like it too so dont dismiss it"  ( maybe not his exact words but very close to it)

Pinball wizard on the uke? I am going to go try this as I am crap on the guitar at it.

I think playing the guitar and the uke does help a lot but i see it as learning the uke is good if you played the guitar beforehand???? hmmm, maybe it does work both ways though, I will never know for sure as I played the guitar before the uke.

BUT, playing the guitar first does make it easier to play the bass guitar I think ( i started playing bass first)

Also do you not find sometimes when going to play the chord D on the uke you go and play G. Same shape of chord, that is the only thing I get mixed up with for a second or so on the uke.

ok, pinball wizard and other who songs I was not happy with on the guitar, here i come

Ken

Happy new year to you too Pere.

I will try give feedback once I manage to get looking up some songs. After 4 days away I have a lot of catching up to do in forums and puting my camcorder stuff onto the comp[uter

all the best

Ken

hi Paul and welcome to chordie ( even if I am about 6 days late in replying, just got back)

And happy new year to you, and everyone else.

There are lots of people from the UK use chordie ( I am in scotland) lots from englsnd , scotland and a few irish too, cant think of any welsh though, or not that they have said.

Also a few from europe too, or quite a lot.

You near enough get a reply from anything you ask, especially if posting in the relevant topic area.

I dont listen or play John denver but I would not groan at it. People here are into all sorts of music, every sort you can think of, probably some you might even groan at,lol.

I put some of my stuff on youtube too, some of my own songs I wrote and some covers of pink floyd and syd barrett songs. I have got quite a few more songs written in the last few months, I just need the time to record them properly and get them on youtube.

Also Pere ( the admin of chordie) is setting up a new web site sometime this year I think. It will allow you to put your own songs on the net and hopefully it will give them some sory of copyright too.

All the best

Ken

it is ok, I just done what I tihnk everyone should do if they think they know the name of the song,

I looked up the name of the song, it is hank williams.

now i am away to learn it.

cheers for looking in anyway  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

Ken

congrats to those two

i thought christmas tunes by deetee was the best. I liked the tunes he picked better. He had john lennon and the pogues in his andslade and a few others, but it was the pogues' fairy tale in new york done it for me, if this was the only song in the book it would have got my vote,lol

Ken

yep scawa he did, but all those songs named are timeless, lol  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

for someone to say they dont like anything 19990's or before is rather very ignorant.

Ken

I got two favourites

Fairy tale in new york by the pogues

and the all time classic by slade but perfomed by oasis

merry christmas everybody ( or everyone) ,lol

then white christmas too is superb.

I wish it could be christmas everyday, a true classic song.

All these great crimbo songs and I hate chritmas, lol but it is for the kids and they love it.

Ken

has anyone mentioned yamaha acoustic guitars?

Some of them can be pretty good and not too expensive
