Thanks Arkady.

I wanted it to be ethereal (if not ambient) as it's about lucid dreaming (*), so that's the chords, and the rhythm is kinda like the rise and fall of the sea.

As to getting it recorded?!...........

VERY exciting things have started happening as of yesterday, so keep your fingers crossed for me and I will be sure to let Chordian friends be the first to know!!!

(*. No, I haven't given the meaning away!)

Thanks again for everyones comments, I think I'll repeat this process!!!

Hey ranthalas!

The only things I can think of at the mo' are to make a C chord and hold your first finger in position on the 2nd string while moving your middle and 3rd fingers.

Also practise flip changes from D to D7 and back.

Hopefully someone will be along with some better info, but in the meantime it won't hurt to try these!

Thanks StranSongs!

I did come across this one while I was trying to find the name of the Barre F - without - the - top and nothing came up (What IS the name of that chord?) so I abandoned that one. I've just been back and everything else works great with the rest of the chords. That address has gone in my favourites!

Thanks again!!!

Hey vincester! Welcome to Chordie,

I love helping people prove others wrong, let's see what we've got -

King of the Road  -  fair swings/shuffles. http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … 66049.html

Lots of versions here and you don't need to change key to make it work!

"When I'm 64" - sort of swings/marches in a similar way.

"Daniel" Elton Jim - swings/flows.

I think all these are good because they "Swing" around a strong beat which might help you break into more backbeat and rock - or just suit your style!!!

Good luck,

"I'm done, done done, done with you and me,
So you can think of me when you're with him!"

like it

A good couplet like that can make a song .......

.....Oh yeah, it has!

Good on yer Mark!

Where d'ya live?

Can you come out to play???

WOW!!!!

Thanks as well for showing me the next song I've to learn.

Damn good sound on your modern recording, the splicing was good but I'd like to see if I can't balance the two sounds for you at some point near future!?

I'm going back to listen again!!!

Thanks very much, daddy !

It appears and sounds harder than it is.

The first chord is an open Em with the top 2 strings as an open D.

Next is a C with a G bass (play open E shape on bottom 3 strings).

Barre F 1st with top 2 strings open.

Barre G 3rd ditto.

Barre A 5th ditto.

I felt they had an ethereal quality as of dreams (verse) and an undercurrent as of seas (bridge thingummy).

I played it at the 'Vic here in Priddy on Monday last and it went down very well. No-one knows what it's really about!!!

Thanks for taking the time to look daddy !

Hey Flavie421 and Geetar_geezer, welcome to Chordie!

G_g -

Please post a pic of your guitar for me, I was considering a Maccaferri (Sp) when I bought my current guitar; it's still on the list!!!

I LOVE Jean Baptiste and Stephan and playing like Django would be where I wish I could be at.

Hey alvee.

Thank you alvee33, RavenLady, bensonp and Zurf so much for your kind and supportive comments. I can't tell you how much they mean especially as I don't get to REALLY talk with people most of the time (very remote here with people spread out!).

And Kenny, thank you again!   Your therapist sounds like a very smart cookie! What you wrote really gave me something to think about that made sense in my life!!! (AONB = Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, BTW)

I feel embarrased talking about my health issues when there are so many people who are in a much worse situation but deal with it so much better than I could (There's someone on this site who has become something of a hero of mine because of their outlook!!!).

I've had 7 or 8 road accidents myself - a road accident isn't coming off my bicycle going round a corner and getting cuts and bruises, but being hit off my bike and having somebody run into the back of me breaking my collar bone is (#2). Using the front wing of a car to bounce myself out of the way of a driver who isn't looking that he's about to run me over isn't, but being hit by a car and having the back of my head cracked open and my kneecap broken is (#1).

The anniversary of #3 is coming up when I ended up half on and half under a tractor trailer, had my legs pulled apart, one foot crushed and the lower half of the other leg ripped out of the joint and sewn back on at the knee. And it happened about 40 yds left of the above photo!

I can see where you think this is going especially when I say I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress in '96, but this wasn't from any of these accidents (although some of them still make me shiver as #3 and #7/#8 (7 car pile up in the fast lane of the M4 coming out of London, 80 - 90 mph nose to tail)), it was from other things that were done to me before this and while recovering from these accidents.

You SO hit the nail on the head Kenny when you spoke about misplaced anger as when the PTSD is bad I do turn everything onto myself of which guilt is one symptom. I think that there was a subconcious link to the other things that my concious mind tries to blot out. So maybe that's it.

I would like to say of the parents that I do not think what happened was in any way their fault as the mother was trying to catch up but couldn't because of elder sister (3 or 4 yr old) being between mother and toddler and tables and a wall either side; it was when I heard mother saying something and heard the car that I realised I had to do something.

I don't think the brewery would support the gate idea however brilliant it is, so I've decided to offer to make the sign free of charge that Liscencee and Brewery should agree to!

Thank you all SO much for your support in this, sometimes one just needs to unload to gain perspective and you guys were there for me - Murrasta Why!!! ("thank you very much!" - Kernowek) I feel embarrassed at some of the back slap comments as they should be directed to those who ARE worthy of them!

I'm so glad I signed up to Chordie!!!

(PS: Check your In Box, Kenny!!!)
