Re: Progress? (8 replies, posted in Poems)
I like what you are saying Tenement the world outlook of young criminals has subtly been shaped or brainwashed into them by the constant negative bombardment that entertainments subtly place into their susceptible brains. Also the new generation of so called Reality Stars seem to get more media coverage then thery deserve. People famous for been famous with no real talent or good character.

Re: MAY 2016 - Featured Song - Ode to Billy Joe - Bobbie Gentry (81 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Music to me has no wrongs or rights. I think what matters is are people having fun. The best covers to me are those done by people who feel the songs deep down when doing them. Also I love the way a song that fits one style such as country becomes a soul song when done by another artist. Look forward to hearing what the gifted talented people on here come up with. Jandle your voice can make any song sound great.

Re: Iron Bird. (14 replies, posted in Poems)
In my younger days I spent many hours traveling around the world in Iorn Birds meeting interesting and not so interesting people. It was a great experience travelling. Sometimes when its going good time would travel too fast. When things were not going good, when away, some how coming home always felt good. An excellent poem Phill.

Re: Progress? (8 replies, posted in Poems)
You and I growing up here in little old NZ.
Both old enough to remember this land before Televison arrived.
Teenagers hanging out at Milk Bars.The Blacksmith on the main street.
Where there are houses now on the hills of our valley were farm animals.
A murder shocked the whole nation and was headlines.
Now murder is just a regular event.
Our family home was rarely locked.
We knew everyone in our street.
We played on the street as there weren't many cars.
The Television came and everyone started owning cars.
Doors started to be locked and people forgot their neighbourhood and began to feel unsafe.
The rest of the world far away got closer while next door became far away.

Sometimes I just take the lyrics of some song I like and just throw my own chords and feel to it. It can be a lot of fun and sometimes it can work out. That is why Joe Cocker was well liked because he did other people songs his way. Little Help From My Friends.Compare the Beatles version to his version.

Re: Daryl - self-taught guy (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi Daryl
Welcome. When you get into music it is a little bit like being a mad scientist because the only way to get good at it is to practise and experiment.
At times it can be an emotional rollercoaster especially when you have days when you just can't make it work but when you do it is like reaching a peak. By being patient and pushing through the many frustrations of trying to get a good sound you do get bits that work and get to master more of it. When you can make bits work it is a magical feeling. Then you find the thing you can now do is not challenging so you end up exploring other avenues which challenges your comfort zones. With music you never stop learning. Even though I am an older person everybody no mater how experienced or old they are teaches me something. Look forward to following your future growth and remember good things take time.

Gidday all
This is brilliant,many chordians doing covers.
Please keep them coming i think it`s really exciting.
I guess lots of u guitarists have never had a crack at covering `an original`
Let me encourage u to have a go,sometimes an average guitarist finds they are a brilliant arranger
or have a talent for putting their signature on a song.Or put some chords to a poem.
Phill williams covered one of my songs once,it was so encouraging it kept me writing.
Have a go!
Hey baby spread the love
I love the way a song can be taken to some where else after it is writen. Joe Cocker covers of Beatle songs is a example that comes to mind. Good on those chordians who do covers . It makes it exciting especialy when the person adds their own special touch.

Wow Amy that really worked well with your voice and playing up there with Joan Baez. Take a bow you got the audience hanging onto every word and lovely guitar. Love to hear you doing it on soundcloud also. Beamers one was good it just needed the vocals to be a bit louder.

I love when people like that make the accoustic guitar talk. They turn the solo instrument into a choir with full orchestration. The best I ever managed with a guitar is to make it mumble slightly.
