EASY???????????????????????????? I think it is worth learning to read tabs, but I think it's not that easy, maybe because I play more "riffs" and "licks" like keith richards, but a lot worse of course. For Keith it is his job, for me a hobby

Thanks for the links. My humble opinion is that, if you are 1/ old enough  2/ smart enough, and having problems, the smarter u get by concluding and learning of mistakes you made.
In that case a manager is not needed. But they can achieve "maybe" more. You don't need to be an "educated man", and for some people, money gives a fantastic smell. How can somebody explain why so many good groups are ripped of by their surroundins, manager(s), and a lot of others. Even the Rolling Stones had their "financial bad" period, just because of their manager.
See the sex pistols, a guy named malcolm mc laren had a shop, and in fact he was very clever creating THE PERFECT punk group.
If you open the papers, some groups look or have a conduct, or name to score. Remember Nirvana, they were considered as sh**, and presented the same way. I can tell you a lot of this image, told me PERSONNALY by Dave Grohl, he even invited me at his place, but shame on me, I had token my holiday already, and if you are independent, no work, no money. But this was an unique opportunity. I still regret it. GROHL for instance was originally from a more upperclass family, mother professor, or lawyer, or was it the father. So decent people, NOT FITTING AT ALL IN THEIR IMAGE AND ATTITUDE.
I can write books about musicians.
Thanks
BTW where are you from?

I love the song you wrote, the lyrics, but I don't have a clue about finding a melody.
Me and my best friend, just composed 3 songs, I will probably put them here on a bright sunny day.
Is there a way to find "the melody" starting with the lyrics? I can't play a song in E or C, if I don't have the melody in my head.I asked it already, if there is a kind of program on chordie, to put the melody? Or to hear songs do you need to go to the world famous, youtube, or myspace wich brings me to the following point: IS IT possible, when a "chordian" writes a song to hear the melody???
I told I wrote 3 songs, with a friend, there is a song more hardrock style, another is a kind of samba-jazz, with FRENCH lyrics, I even found a site http://www.arkade.com/, I don't know if it's a good one, but I just wanted to show the construction of the french song we made.
I will try to put here the chord to start with.
Barre on 5th fret

f   f   f   f   f   f barre on the 5th fret
x  x  x   f   x  x
x  x  f   x   f   x

and once you have this chord in your fingers, you start a blend of strumming and fingerpicking.
Big E-string, alternate with A-string, and with this chord you can go up, you can go down. When I play it I go from the 5th fret to the 3th fret, FINGERS ALWAYS in the SAME POSITION. No matter where you are on guitar, the chord remains, but you can move it up and down, with alternate strumming, big E and A string. It ain't very easy, but I play already a long time.
The "rough" lyrics, still a lot of work is needed goes like: je t'attends, j'ai le temps, meme dans la neige, du très mauvais temps, je me mets a mon aise et je t'attent, bienque je sais que cette semaine, je ne t'endant pas, mais j'attends, et blabla bla bla. I still need a lot of work to work it out, and it is also quit difficult to take these chords (I even don't know the name of the chord), and once I can play them properly myself, the music is resulting in a kind of jazz-samba, and the only thing to do is playing it and trying it out going up and down the frets. We also have that same chord down, and I think it is Amaj7, down on the guitar, or should I say up, you can figure out that those chords played in a correct way, you have the beginning chords of the George Harisson song "something" A  Amaj7 and A7

I do agree, and I do not agree.
The Korina wood I knew, and if the GOD's are on your side, it is probably possible you can ask Gibson to make a KORINA FLYING V.
The reason that I wrote, longer letters than in my datingperiod, to go and see for yourself on the GIBSON.COM site.
I think like I wrote they are all made in the same wood, except the neck of 1 of these 3, available in EBONY/OR ROSEWOOD. So only rosewood should make the difference then?.
Have you ever been to a gibson "plant", I prefer place where they make a lot of these beauties.
The only one you can visit is the Memphis Factory, where all the "LUCILLES" are made and of course all "semi-hollow" bodies.
People talk about factories, if that is a facory, I am a dwarf. Every worker has his skill, and it looks "factorish" indeed. All work is done so smooth, they even use microscopes. Mainly women are wiring the coils, a special place to treat the guitar after painting, exactly the same technic they use in painting and drying CARS. I paid 20$ to visit the "factory" but it was worth every penny. A thing I really should love, because sooner or later, I will return, is to visit a acoustic guitar company, and/or a full body.
It is incredible to see all those little things, constructed with love, but it is a real pitty that at the end of the chain, a few guys, playing those gibsons for hours, 30% yes THIRTHY, don't make it to the shop, and are DESTROYED. I could cry when I heard it. They DO NOT SELL IT because they deliver a product of QUALITY. Isn't it sad, on 10 hollowbodies, only 7 survive. I told them to make a different brand, and put Gibson on it in very small letters. Is there a way I can reach you, more to have an idea of you working on guitars?

To sing along with sir cliff, staying in the Eurovision style:
Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that youre in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know Im happy as can be.
GOOD FOR YOU.
Question: how to become moderator and what is exactly the function of a moderator?

I do agree, I think the "puppet on a string era" is ending, and the real players and not the sharks are taking over what should been done already years ago. See Creedence Clearwater Revival and JOHN FOGERTY with Fantasy, probably so overwhelmed that they would put there signature on a piece of toiletpaper. After years of court, discussions and trials, the STRANGE thing is that he signed again for Fantasy, but I am sure that he is getting now what he deserved all those stolen years, a big fat contract, especially being their best selling act and moneymaker.
My opinion: there will be hard times for those companies. And like I read, you can't make a racehorse from a donkey, talented and gifted artists, and I don't mention their playing skills, will ALWAYS come up, just because they are a league to high, even not knowing it.
You have to see all the opportunities: give the people what they want, and I am not speaking really of "GIVING". Show the "surfers" what you have in you, play your song who is let's say 4 minutes long, for 2 minutes, a kind of teaser, show them as much as possible, there are always professionals to help if necessary, and just enough to give the people a sweet taste of your music, and than the people who like what you play, well they pay a small amount to download your songs, without all the in-betweens, running away with your work and money. BUT DO NOT FORGET, THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD DEVICES, EVEN VERY LOW PRICED, SPEND A BIT MORE MONEY TO BUY A DECENT RECORDING DEVICE, PLUG IN THE INSTRUMENTS AND START PLAYING SOMEWHERE, LIKE IN YOUR HOME, ADD A GOOD VISUAL RECORDING, DON'T BE AFRAID, PLAY THE SAME SONG 100 TIMES, YOU ARE NO LONGER IN A STUDIO. And to be more perfect concerning producing, arrangements, there are people who can help you a lot. I even think that there is a great future if you start following college to become a soundengineer.

I am from near BRUSSELS, in BELGIUM EUROPE, 51 years old and retired. Just have a lot of fun and joy playing guitar and surfing on the web, always starting at "chordie" and ending at the same place.
I can't work anymore due to a severe car crash, but I AM STILL STANDING, I am very well insured, and originally my occupation was/is medical doctor. I passed a lot of real difficult moments, having a verteber exploded in 5 pieces and 32 fractures in 1 foot. It ain't easy, it is not funny and I can't do a lot of things, like skiing, walking, but my guitars keep me in shape.

I have to tell the picture is good, but the guitar looks "fabulous", the concept, she's having it all, I never heard of this brand, WESLEY I taught. Playing this guitar must feeling good, it is a real JEWEL, and concerning Gibson Flying V's or Gibson SG both "faded" are not very high in price, I mean compared to other Gibsons, and until now it is still a mystery for me that you pay at least double the price for an SG Gibson, equiped with the same ??? kind of pick-ups.
On the faded guitars, they speak about smoky coils, and in case of the Flying V, they are equiped : neck 496R ceramic magnetic humbucker and bridge 500T ceramic magnetic humbucker.
The same humbuckers: ceramic magnetic humbuckers (neck 496R and bridge 500T) are also on the regular flying V, except for the price at 123music, you pay for the "real"??? flying V let's say $1200 and for the faded Flying V $550. SO MY QUESTION IS, WHO CAN EXPLAIN ME AND A LOT OF OTHERS THE DIFFERENCE!!! because I just see the same guitars. Or.... are the cheaper V's maybe made in a cheaper country, in secret????????
Difference is gigantic for, I repeat what looks in my eyes the SAME guitar.
