Hi Daddycool,
Being and on and off smoker and done 'cold turkey' more times that I care to remember I can relate to this one. Well done.
By the way you need to inlude the word 'song [in square brackets]' at the start of the main body of the message and not in the 'Subject' for the formatting to work.

Hi Alex,
You must be very excited about this and I am pleased for you. You must let us know when it is up and how things went.

Hi James,
A great song and a fine recording. It inspired me to 'Google' my name and I found a couple of items of interest:
Her affair with Roger Guppy sets the town on its ear, and dismays smitten Gary whose erotic daydreams of Kate are dealt a severe blow. It's the Guppy family ...
The Guppy surname seems to have originated in Dorset and Somerset, England, ... both of them on the voyage; whilst Roger Guppy was excecuted at Bridgewater ...
I think I prefer the first reference to the second

Hi Ben,
Welcome to Chordie. A great song for your first offering well done,
Roger
Hi Alex,
Nice song and a good recording, keep them coming. Thank you,
Roger
Nice one Rebel,
This is the first song that I have finger picked on my 12er (I am still getting used to the string spacing and picking double strings). I loved playing it so much that I 'Badeyed' it before posting my message.
Well done,
Roger
Hi Jeff,
Another good one from you. I played fairly upbeat on my 12er and particularly like introduction of the F#m at the end.
Roger
Hi Badeye,
I received the about your Dad and that you were trying to get a photo of him for me and also the link to the Glace Bay mining museum. By the way a photo of the award he received from Prince Phillip would be great if you can manage that too.
And for anyone who is wondering about these cryptic messages. Badeye's Father was in the rescue team for the 1958 mining disaster at Springhill, Nova Scotia. A very brave man.

A couple of thoughts about your problem Lieven.
It appears that BOSS automatically saves your music as a .bro file but is there an option to save as .mp3?
If not surely there is software available to to convert from .bro to .mp3.
On impulse I have just looked at the Roland web site and I see that there is a download for a Wave Converter. This will convert convert your file to a .wav and it is easy to then convert to .mp3. There is also a help file that explains how to do it.

Hi Tim,
The chords in the key of A are: A, D, E7 and F#m is the primary minor.
C is; C, F, G7 with Am as the primary minor.
D is: D, G, A7 with Bm as the primary minor.
There are of course many chords you can actually use in a song (I have seen 14 different chords in a song) but those are the basic ones.
Roger
Hi Buddy,
I would guess that is a B as some European countries use H insted of B. I would suggest you try it in the song and you will soon see if it sounds right.
Roger
When you changed the strings did you use a different gauge? The change in string tension by using either heavier or lighter strings could affect the set up of your guitar and give you problems.
Roger
Hi Mike,
Welcome to Chordie and I am sorry you are experiencing some problems. This looks to be one for Per, Chordie's founder, to sort out but he is unlikely to be able to do so without knowing where to look. Please post the address from the top of the page where you are finding this problem so he can see what you are seeing.
Roger
Hi Rick,
Welcome to Chordie.
If I am reading you right you have worked out a riff and chords for this song and want to post them here for comment.
If so I am sorry but you cannot. It is an infringement of copyright laws and could result in Chordie being closed down. Please read the 'Sticky' at the start of the 'About Chordie' and the one in the 'Song Requests' sections, also look at the FAQ in 'Resouces for more information.

I agree with Southpaw, grahamhawkins and jaygorden up to a point as I prefer to see/hear buskers without backing, but what works depends entirely upon your audience.
Here in Portugal the buskers who attract the big crowds (and cash) are the ones with backing tracks. Although they sing and play live, additional instruments and sometimes voices are recorded. The lone singer with his guitar and possibly an amp with no backing rarely gets a look in I'm afraid and is now rarely seen.
So my suggestion would be to see what the successful buskers are doing at the venue you intend to play at and follow their lead.
Roger
Hi Lieven,
Nice song about a horrible experience, Well done and keep them coming.
For Russ's benefit I did a minor edit to your song as I too had never heard of C#mmaj9 but checked and found there was such a chord and it made more sense than what was posted so I assumed that is what you intended. If I was wrong let me know and I will change it for you.
Roger
Hi GSE,
Nice lyric and good chord sequence although I did make some of the chord changes in slightly different place to the ones you posted but I enjoyed playing it. I think that you should have posted the other verse also as it is a little short as it stands.
Thank you and well done,
Roger
Hi Lieven,
An amusing little song on an unusual subject, but tastefully done. Well done,
Roger
Great lyrics Zurf, and I am looking forward to seeing the chords for it as soon as you are able to get back on your guitar.
I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care,
Roger
Hi Anastasia,
I do not really think there is any thing you can do but rest it up until it is healed.
The only thing that might work, if the cut is not too bad, is to 'superglue' it as 'superglue' sticks skin better than anything else. Several thin coats might do the trick but for heavens sake make sure it is dry before you play. You do not want to become that attached to your guitar.
Roger
Hi Korky,
I have just had a listen on MySpace. Apart from the fade out at the end (which is something that I hate but that is my personal pet hate about song endings) it is a great recording and I shall now keep an eye on there for more.
Thank you and well done to you all,
Roger
Hi Evsynator,
I just checked out your songs on 'ooizit' and I was very pleased to hear your version of Donovan's 'Gold Watch Blues' as I had not heard this great song for years and had forgotten it. Good recording by the way.
Thank you,
Roger
Hi Daddycool,
I hope you do not mind I took the liberty to add the [/song] at the end of your song to complete the special formatting. I also changed the chords to upper case to show the chord diagrams.
Nice love song, well done.
Roger
Hi Jeff,
Nice song, big sister will be chuffed with that I am sure.
There is an old saying "You can choose your friends but not your family" and you, like me, have been lucky to have siblings that are also good friends.
Roger
Now you know why I chose and stick to that signature
