Hi Shady,

Have you looked at this: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.u … p;id=86904

Hi Jerome,

I understand you can get a plastic cover that fits in the sound hole to reduce the feedback which would  allow you more latitude with the EQ settings.

Hi James,

Having been the victim of slanderous campaign last year, which was only halted with the help of a solicitor, I know only too well what damage people can do with lies. I was lucky in respect that several people who know me well enough to know that the stories were scurrilous let me know in good time to stop it early.

I do like your song and the chording for it is great. I am hoping soon to hear your melodious tones bring it to life (and finding out how far away my interpretation of it is too).

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Helena,

A lovely song and it is sung wonderfully by Tamara, well done to both of you.

Roger

PS.
It is no problem sorting out the formatting, mind you it would not have worked even if you had done it right in this instance, cause Joe Muggins here made a mistake also.

Well thanks Russ,

Now you tell me, I had to don some extremely tight and uncomfortable underwear to help me reach the high notes in the key of A.

Hi Jeff,

I am getting all sentimental about microbes and germs now and you have put me off waterbeds for life. 

A good fun song, well done and thank you,

Roger

Wow Russ,

I am green with envy. Would you like a session musician for the day at no charge? Mind you it is a fairly long trip from Portugal so perhaps I will just have to wait for the video.

Hi Helena,

After our conversation earlier I used a link you gave me to Richard Thompson to show a demonstraion of his syle of playing in another thread. So he has got two mentions within a few minutes.

I love the 'Beeswing' song by the way.

Hi Doug,

All Russ has given us is the groundwork, the basics, for us to play with and come up with song. So I say you can undisqualify yourself and you have the chance to take part in this first time event of Chordie.

I have completed my entry and submitted it to Russell and I can assure you that, although I too have heard his version of this several times, my song is absolutely nothing like Russ's video. Don't forget that although we have been given 5 chord sequences to use there is no restriction in what order to use them or how long the duration of each chord is.

Go on - give it a go.

Roger

Hi Phill,

An amusing little song which I enjoyed. I played it to T.T. and she liked it immensely, especially the last three lines. Thank you.

Roger.

PS T.T. is my cat

Hi Doug,

Russ's idea is a very interesting one and I hope it will encourage more Chordians to 'have a go' at recording. With very little in the way of equipment and using a free programme like Audacity it is possible to lay down several tracks to create a fuller sound and a decent recording. Mind you a little warning, when the recording bug strikes you will want to get ever better equipment to do the job, but boy is it fun.

I shall certainly enter something although putting words to music is not my way of working, with very few exceptions, I always put the music to words.  I have started working on the arrangement and I do have an idea for lyics which might work. I noticed a phrase uttered by a  fellow Chordian which has given me an not only the  idea for the song theme but also a little something to add that I have not tried before. (Hope it works).

Hi Kirria,

No question is ever silly. In fact if you do not know something it is silly not to ask.

You do not re-tune your guitar when you use the capo. The capo is used to change the pitch of the guitar so if the chord shape C is played with the capo on the 4th fret you are actually playing an E.

Some songs need to be played with certain chord shapes to sound right and the capo can be be used to be able to alter the key to suit the singing voice but retain the the tone of the open chords.
