I would suggest moving the relevent threads from say the first of May to here and only move the older ones if someone resurrects them. However I think it that others should have an imput into this - so what do YOU think?

To clarify bonedaddy's brief comment. A guppy is a small tropical fish, the female of the species is very plain but the males are very colouful and exotic. Named after Robert John Lechmere Guppy who discovered them in 1866.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with songwriting as fish cannot sing. Whales can but they are mammals.

Hello Ashley,

Welcome to the Chordie forum and your first posted song. I am unsure whether your opening words are directed at me or if Guppies is a term of endearment (or worse)

The lyircs you have are fine, a nice sentiment, althought you will probably have to alter it a bit to get verses to the same lenghts. Sit down with your guitar and slowly strum chords whilst going through the words. Some chord changes will sound awful, but if you keep trying you will be able to find ones that sound good together. Get a sequence for two lines, repeat it and you have the chords for your first verse.

Give it a try, if you want help as Saba has already pointed out you will always find it here on the forum, either openly or by private e-mail.

Well done,

Roger

Hello Sleepypedro,

Welcome to Chordie. I regret to inform you that Chordie does not host any songs, it is a search engine and there are legal reasons why copywritten songs cannot be posted here. There is more detailed information in the resources to help you.

The exception of course, is songs you have written yourself, these can be posted in the Songwriting section of the forum for other members to enjoy and comment upon.

Enjoy Chordie,

Roger

Hi John,

If you go the public song books and sort by edited you will quickly find James McCormick's Folkie Dolkie 1 song book and they have been 100% edited. I am sure you will find some gems in there.

Roger

Hey Tom,

That is quite exceptional especially as it is your first song.

I think it would interest a lot of Chordie members to know how you went about getting it produced. Did you take it to a local band or recording studio or what? And who is performing the song for you, your choice or the producers? I would be fascinated to know the story behind it.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Saba,

Good to hear from you. I have just re-sent your song back so please e-mail me if you do not recieve it this time.

Roger

Saba has sent me her chords to her song and I returned them in Chopro format on the 28th May. As she has neither posted them or answered my e-mails I thought I would let everyone know that hopefully she will post them soon and you will not be disappointed.

This is this young lady's first song and I am very impressed and I am sure that others who follow this section of the forum will be too. She compliments others on being talented but she is very talented too.

Hi Bootlegger,

As far as I am concerned you HAVE to play from the heart. I do not think that anyone can perform music well without their heart, soul and emotions being fully in tune with it. Whether it be playing an instrument or singing, for a performance to come across, it has to be felt as well as heard.

Roger

Hi Jeff,

You are a romantic and a big softy, just like me, so I really like this one.

With just three chords anyone can play it so I "Badeyed" it even before writing this.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Wormproof101,

I agree that the 1,2,3 fingering is the easiest however it is worth noting that all fingers do not have to be immediately behind the fret, they are normally angled.

Finger 3 (on the B string) is close to the fret and finger 1 (on the D string) is furthest away from the fret.

This gives a little more room and your fingers are not quite so cramped.

Roger
