Hi Brian,

Welcome to Chordie. I am unsure as to what you are asking for here. Can you please elucidate?

Roger

Hi John,

I too would like to welcome you to Chordie and I am looking forward to seeing, and playing, some of your songs, so I do hope that you will post some on the Forum for us to play. I get a great deal of pleasure playing the new songs that are posted here, so please join in and enjoy Chordie.

I also run a MySpace called "Friends of Chordie" exclusively for Chordie members it a place where you can put recordings of your songs for Chordie members to hear if you have nowhere else to post them. Click on the 'Website' tag under my avatar and you can hear some of the other members recordings.

Hi Lieven,

Cynical old me would reckon that it is the band with the most money behind them to promote them that would get the hit. Long gone are the days when a band would serve an apprenticeship in bars and clubs and work their way to the top. Today it is the band with the best marketing and exposure, and that takes cash to do properly. They may only be a one hit wonder but that seems to me to be the way it is done these days.

Somebody please tell me that I am wrong.

Hi Shady,

My first chord was a Bm as I was playing Scrimmy's new song "Fallen Angel" from the Songwriting section.

Roger

Hi Lieven,

I very much like the lyrics and I the chord sequence is great but I have to admit that I am struggling to put the two together. The longer second and fourth line is where I become unstuck so I think I would like to hear a recording of it to learn the tempo and timing. I will keep trying though.

Thank you,

Roger

OK a little cheat here although I cannot play it yet I promice to learn it in the new year, honest!!

Quando, Quando, Quando - Michael Buble (and may others)

Although my favourite changes constantly at the moment it is Billy Dean's "Let Them Be Little" which I have just put on YouTube.

Hi James,

I particularly like the line "Talon fang tooth and claw, utensils for the feast" in this one. A easy one to play with an even tempo and good lyrics, great to fingerpick or strum.

Thanks,

Roger

Hi etc,

I see now why you were a little reluctant to tell us the name of your guitar but treat her kindly and she might become your Angel.

My Fender acoustic is simply my 'Old Gal'

My green strat copy is my 'Mean Green Music Machine' (a mouthful I know)

Russell I suggest you raise a thread on the Chat Corner about your MySpace problems and maybe someone will be able to help you I am at a loss I'm afraid.

Hi Evsynator,

Many of the regular contributors to the Songwriting section have MySpace and/or YouTube sites for their music and clicking on the 'Website' to left of the messgae will take you there.

If you click on mine however it will take you to 'Friends of Chordie' a MySpace that I run exclusively for Chordie members who have no site to use or want to put a song there for any reason. I do have my own MySpace and YouTube sites and I will list them below and hope that James, Jeff, Ken and everyone else will add theirs too.

Hi evsynator,

Seeing as the last song I wrote, recorded and posted on Chordie used a Gmaj7 and sus chords I will asume that this is directed at me and get all hurt, upset and go and spit my dummy out!! joking!!

Seriously Gmaj7 is not that difficult to play although the first one listed in the chord chart (xx2345) is difficult click on the chord and you will be shown the alternatives. I use 220002 which I find the easiest but there is also 220032 and 220033.

There are times when you you need to use the maj7, sus and dim chords to get the sound that you are looking for. I tend to look on it as a challenge to learn a new chord.

Take care,

Roger
