hi tel,
yep george is and was very underrated, in fact the whole "brainwashed" album is well worth a listen as i do on a regular basis.
as for your own songs, that is what this site is for. what we like is for people to post their original words and chords on the songwriting forum, then we can have a read and try to play the songs then give an encouraging comment.
as a member you have the freedom of the site and forums, so please join in, ask questions, give advice...etc
see you soon?

i dont suppose you recorded the event for posterity?
short of actually being there a video or a sound recording would be nice?

hi tel.
i had a listen and enjoyed your track and found the site itself so interesting that i joined too. so thanks for the guiding hand.
i didnt recognise the song so is it your own work or a cover?
anyway, nice recording and hope to hear more from you

ROGER DODGER, happy birthday from Wales, hope you've had a great day.

i guess that's american idol? we have x factor, so if yours is the same, all they'll do is crucify all those brilliant queen songs like ours do.
every new beatles album that came out was my favourite till the next one. abbey road has to be my no1. i never liked let it be. i thought it was because they were in the process of splitting up and the bad vibes came over. then i bought the remixed version thinking that would make it better. but all it did was make my hackles rise for what they did to the best song on the album which was across the universe. so i've only ever played it once...what a waste of £10!
my favourite song must be......nope cant chose just one, sorry. luv em all
i'm not good with harmony my-self, but you dont replace the G, you put a harmony beside it! eg; if you sing (or play) G and D at the same time you find it's a natural harmony, which is why we get chords.
eg; chord of G is: G-B-D-G-B and high G. so basically the only notes you play are G-B and D in different octaves.
you can expand on this by playing F in place of the high G, which obviously gives you G7. which sounds nice when you sing those notes. other harmonic notes for G would be: E (for 6th) F# ( for major 7th) A (for 9th) these will come with practice.
hope this helps.

hi tho2,
welcome to chordie. there are not many rules but we do expect you to abide by them. one of the biggest rules is not to use someone else's thread to ask your own questions, as you have done here and on another forum. most of us do this when we first join and get put in the right direction.
so...what you should do;
1st, decide what your question is about
2nd, decide which forum best suits your question
3rd, as we are all a very friendly bunch check for replies.
NB. when you go to the correct forum at the top right hand side you'll find "POST NEW TOPIC" click there and you can put your question to the members.
your main question seems to be how to record your band? this should go to the "recording forum."
hope this helps
that is sad. he was a big reason why i took up the guitar. his party piece was that he played a shed full of notes in so many seconds. any one else remember him on Sunday Night at the London Palladium?
thanks for that roger, a punishment that maybe should be brought back for so called brits who after being born here run off to join the taliban and other terrorist groups and kill/murder their countrymen. then expect to return to this country to claim unemployment benefits, NHS treatments etc. sorry, rant over

i always felt that the band gave a "were just jamming" feel to all their music...sad that we dont notice how the famous age just like the rest of us do till one day it hits you in the face. i bet he'll rock til he drops.
the romans had a good one where they tied each extremity to a horse and got the horses to run in opposite directions...then execute him/her/them....
for stealing a beloved guitar? death is not enough....torture first...
hi themgilroy,
no sorry there is no F in the song. it's very complicated in that it uses a lot of major 7ths. this is the best i could make of it...
opening part.. A- Bm- E7- A-E-E7
main verse... A- Amaj7- A7- E- E7- Bm- Bm (major7)- Bm7- E7. A- Amaj7- A7- D- Dmaj7- B diminished - A- Amaj7- Bm7- Bm6- E9- E7.
end part.. A- Amaj7- A7- E9- E7- A.
the Bm (major7) isnt as complicated as it may sound. she plays it by fingering (lowest to highest).. B-F#-Bb-A-F#-B
someone will probably come along and say that i'm completely wrong...
still it's beautifully sung and performed. she gets a lovely sound where ever she is..

i cant imagine anything more soul destroying ( i didn't want to say heartbreaking, but that's what i meant!!! sorry) it took me a good year to find my telecaster. it's like finding your soul mate, you can look for years and try many out. but when the right one is in your arms...you know it.
hope tom and the boys get the guitars back soon.
phill
as above plus thanks for the constant ringing in my ears!
in all honesty i never liked marshalls. i played the valve amp and found it lacking in clarity, volume and as soon as you gave it a bit of gusto, it distorted. i have pedals to do that. having said that, i used a bass cabinet for years with no moans. the trannie amp i got with it gave up the ghost after about a year...which is most likely why i wont use them now. give me a good peavy or fender or vox...now there's a good amp.
my condolences to jim's family, it is a sad time as he was an icon to many a dirty guitarist.
i know sean and julian have made their own original records, now james mccartney has his own band on tour and his own music.
but if your talking about second generation, how about marty wildes daughter kim? i just hope engelbert humperdink hasnt got any kids...one of him is enough.
yep, i agree with you jerry, the french are strange to a high degree. i dont like wine much but californian wine is much nicer as is australian wine. give me a good sherry any time. i do drive a renault (my second) though must say i thought rovers were brilliant for a cheap car before they went bust!
totally disagree with french food....the best steak i ever had was in australia, by a country mile and a half..LOL
by the way, french traffic laws only affect non-french drivers, and they also flout british laws when they're over here.
ah but! john has two sons; julian and sean, which would be in the band?
also, i have read loads about the beatles and zak never rated the beatles or his dad! he loved kieth moon and the who, who he's played with.
and who would play bass as james seems to play guitar!
i always kind of hoped julian would join paul, george and ringo to replace his dad. now maybe dhanii would have to join too?
all the same, it's a band i'd like to hear just to see if the magic is in the genes.
OK, i suppose i must clarify this one butch. i had my first vasectomy just after splitting with my first wife...why not play safe? then i met wife no 2, after a year she said why dont we have a baby between us? so phill went for a reversal...which worked. one baby became two...so vasectomy no 2. with the exception of sad films it's the only thing that ever brought a tear to my eye! LOL

i missed my first son's birth, but caught my other two son's and my daughter. it's a funny thing but, i never really wanted to have children, it's the wife who says "come on, let's have another baby!!!"
i had an epidural when i had my hernia op. not nice. but the vasectomy injection (i was awake) in the boys really hurt. and i had TWO vasectomy's. pain you forget until it happens again.
i remember my first guitar. and the day it folded itself in two....guess the strings might have been a bit tight...LOL
i cant forget the day i tried out my fender telecaster. i wanted to buy it the moment the shop guy put it in my hands, true love...just like the babies really, i never wanted to let them go again, i suppose that applies also to my wife. no money changed hands for the last two items.....
i was missing you robert, where've you been?
nice song, granddaughter? if so congrats.
phill
the biggest difference to the sound a guitar makes is the person playing it. i watched a concert where steve howe plays a solid body guitar that sounded more like an acoustic than my acoustic does. i've also heard players make an acoustic sound like a solid body. acoustics vary in sound depending on maker and strings or the way the guitarist plays. basically, it's the quality of guitar and the quality of the player. we can all kick a ball but how many can score the goal?
