Hey James, there was a new topic, where we were ask to describe ourselves by making a song. It is one of the greatest topics I saw, it is a pity that the same song with the chords above will be interpreted by 100 players will result in 100 different songs, although I am convinced that we will have a few similar songs. I AM NOTE ABLE TO READ NOTES, AND MUSIC, (I amp too lazy), but there has to be a way to figure it out?

This brings me to the question, what and when can you speak of "new wave", in particular, what is covered by the word "new wave" and is it the offspring of punk?

I am staying here, it's my second home now, always starting here, checking answers, a lot of topics, some useless, some complicated, but I have so much to ask.

Hi boot, you really are brilliant, I don't know if I asked this already, do you have a website?
Concerning Mexican guitars, I got one little one, just across the border in Arizona (near Tombstone) a name always linked with the CCR song TOMBSTONE shadow

Well Patrick, I am a PRS freak, so I mailed them with the question about a year ago, if they had plans to produce an acoustic PRS, they answered NO, but that it could happen in a few years.
I am just familiar with MARTIN acoustic guitars, and also GIBSON (Dove, Hummingbird & SJ-200)
I am greedy to try TAYLOR  COLLINGS and SANTA CRUZ
Strange fact: collings is actually producing electric guitars.

I was told that Santa Cruz guitars are more for fingerpicking, but will they sound nice using a plectrum. I know, I am almost always talking about SUPER BRANDS, when in your (super country, I love so much) you find guitars like SEAGULL, GODIN: can you tell me more about the Canadian Brands?

It is on one hand a nice topic, and on the other a sad topic.
WHY: you need money.
I told how my collection started, it started in fact in a sad way, someone asked me for money but gave his guitar a MARTIN HD 28, I still feel guilty in a matter of speaking, but he needed the money, to spend buying drugs, I helped this guy a lot, often without asking money for a consultation, but I did save that man, who spend a lot of money to buy heroin, by prescribing him medication, so he didn't need no longer to buy on the street.
Another one, badly addicted to alcohol, had to pay so much money to pay contributions, and he knew that I was a guitar freak, I even paid him more than he asked, because I got a GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM (black) 1968, and a fender strat 1964. Why do I feel guilty sometimes? Because I am not like that. Also I had opportunities to marry a billionaires daughter, one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen, back in 1982, but DRINKING like hell. So I broke up, it would have made me very, very rich, she felt that I was not so happy, and she even tried to give me a FERRARI, or tried to convince me by showing me how rich she was, but I am OR A FOOL, not accepting this, OR an IDIOT, I just don't like the fact to be dependant, to be the husband of. Probably I am an exception, because she called me a lot, when I was married, for years, telling about her boyfriends who just wanted 1 thing $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. How strange this may sound, and even how bad I like $$$$$, THIS NOT WHO I AM. I worked for every cent, I traeted a lot of people whithout asking money, now I don't work no longer due to an accident, I am very well insured, and if you compare the $ with the €, I even put myself in trouble, before I realised it, by buying guitars in the USA.
It sounds weird, especially the fact that I loved that girl, I loved drinking too, but was never an addict. IS THIS A BAD HABIT, or ATTITUDE? I can only tell you that I hate to take advantage in cases like I mentionned
ONE FACT IS FOR SURE: the value of my collection is already 3x the original value. Some, a lot, are collecting stamps, dolls. In the situation where I'm in now, my guitars make me happy.

Besides Johnny Cash, there was another quit famous country star, with the name Johnny Paycheck.
At first I thought this was a BIG joke, but the guy sold quit a lot of records.
Isn't he a genius to use the name PAYCHECK & compete with CASH?

E                         A                      E          B7       E
Some people tell, I'm looking good, yeah good
    E                          A             E         B7        E       
But I'm not really self assured, it's like discussing food
    E                          A             E           B7       E
Even if I don't look good, blue eyed blond, I do feel good.

    C          D       G   C     E      Am     D7     G7
I can only tell you this, I enjoye my life like it is

Very short, but that's what popped up reading the topic. I promess you I'll work it out later. To go from C to E , I touch in a kind of fingerpick style, starting on fret 3 over 2 and to the E chord.
It looks bluesy, and it sounds a very little bit bluesy, but I change or switch often chords, from E to Bm, or D7. It's a pity that we can't hear this songs. Like the "MCCormick " song, when I play it, it would probable a lot different, also my, at this moment a bit short song. I will complete it, but acoustic: I love "tricky bridges", but I am able to write without a problem 10 songs in 1 day, shake and mix these songs, and I am sure there is at least 1 good song.
I wrote (not on paper, not recorded a huge amount of (more ballads) songs, reflecting bad & good events and periods in my life. But, Jesus, we really have to meet each other guys, or we have to find a way, to share our songs, better to listen to these songs, don' have a clue how to burn them on a CD, and send copies to others. DON'T FORGET, IF WE'LL SHOULD DO THIS YOU BETTER PROTECT YOUR SONG.
This gives me a question, if I, or You, compose a song, and we register the song for copyrights, in your country, do you need to register the song in other countries too?
SUPER TOPIC, a REAL GENIAL TOPIC. It takes time, but I just wrote music and lyrics like they popped up. I am glad that most of my songs don't need a lot of correction, but playing guitar together with my best friend, they almost end in the same way, late at night, tired, he put his (my) guitar down, and suddenly, half sleepy, I continue to find fitting chords, while doing this, almost sleeping, we have some real pearls, of course all this is subjective. BIG PROBLEM, HOW TO RECORD THEM, using the ZOOM H4, with super mics, and than using a small device, like BOSS MR MICRO?? WOULD THIS BE USEFUL?? HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP
