Thanks people, it's a pleasure! I scare myself sometimes with how badly I sing and play so wouldn't want to spoil it by recording - perhaps one of you could do the honours?

Re: Update - new layout (47 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi, just printed my songs from the forum posts and the first { s o c} works fine, but the { e o c} doesn't revert it back so all the following verses/choruses are italicised and indented

Yeah, u could be right about the try but dear god it was close! I believe the Egyptians were there before us as well with the distilling thing... perfumes maybe rather than sippin stuff but its along the right lines!

Topic: Old Doll (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi all, I was watching the rugby and enjoying a few glasses of red and came in at half time half cut and rashly told Old Doll that I'd write her a song. Here it is, I hope you like it and if the gaelic is wrong either spelling or pronunciation then I apologise... It sounded real good in my head!

The Sweet poteen from Ireland green that's made from wheat and rye is what i'd like to sample. I'd take off me coat and grease me throat in a flash! Just polished off a bottle of red and realised it's.... South Bloody African! Gutted!
On a different note, I was gonna write a song for you Old Doll, how would you feel about that?

I first thought of this song as a slow dirgelike thing but i've just come back to it angry and played with attitude it's quite good fun!
Thanks for your kind comments, and when you get to know me you'll realise I was born with a tongue in my cheek and all my submissions are in good humour so, Zurf - I wasn't fishing when I replied to you I was genuinely pleased to have feedback!
Old Doll I wish sometimes I was one of God's hated so I could benefit in some cheap, shallow manner!
Arkady: Sorry mate, it took about 30 minutes to come up with the lyrics - mainly cos I'm such a bad typist!!!!! Fooled you and look again at the first bit of the post HAHA!

Bloody Scots and Bloody South Africans and Bloody Bloody TV judges! It would be great to live in a nation that had something to celebrate once in a while! You guys invented the telephone, the TV, the Glasgow Kiss, the Macintosh, Tarmac, Shortbread, WHISKY...
All the English ever did was subjugate everyone else and spend the rest of eternity feeling superior

Re: barre chords (57 replies, posted in Acoustic)
OK, don't discount any advice given here, it's all sound!
Hotel California by the Eagles gives great strumming technique and the chord progression is Bm F# A E G Em F#. Bm, F#, A, G, can all be played as Barre Chords and makes for great practise.
Wait for it, this is great.... David Bowie's Space Oddity has C played as Barre on 8th fret, to F to G to A. You don't need to move your fingers as such, just widen them a little as you move toward the nut. You keep the basic shape, move along a significant amount of fretboard and it sounds... spot on!
Practise Practise Practise. If your fingers don't hurt practise more!
Stay cool enjoy life and rock out always!

Topic: Cashflow Blues (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi y'all, last night or the night before I read some lyrics by Last Rebel for a song she scribbled on the other side of the paper and the words 'cashflow blues' popped into my head so I played with the idea for a while! The verses are open chords while the chorus is played with barre chords, as is the last part. What do you think?
Cashflow Bluesa song by BoneDaddy 19.30 18/10/07
Verse 1
I was [G]thinking today as I [D]picked up my pay
There’s [G]gotta be more out here than [D]this
I [G]work all my hours more a-[D]sleep than awake
Cause I [A]can’t seem to get enough rest
Chorus
Cause I’m [A]thinking ‘bout the [G]cashflow
[A]Where does all the [G]money go?
The [F]wife and the bar and the [G]shoes and the car
I [F]toss and turn nightly, it [G]don’t get me far
Verse 2
I [G]need to get the knowledge that I [D]should have got in college
But I [G]don’t have the time or the [D]brains
Keeping [G]up with the bills just takes [D]up all my skills
I [A]don’t make any capital gains
Chorus
Cause I’m [A]thinking ‘bout the [G]cashflow
[A]Where does all the [G]money go?
The [F]wife and the bar and the [G]shoes and the car
I [F]toss and turn nightly, it [G]don’t get me far
Verse 3
Got a [G]big engine car but I [D]can’t drive it far
Cause the [G]petrol’s gonna cost me the [D]earth
The in-[G]surance is a killer, the [D]tax is way off kilter
Must have [A]give the queen more than it’s worth
Chorus
Cause I’m [A]thinking ‘bout the [G]cashflow
[A]Where does all the [G]money go?
The [F]wife and the bar and the [G]shoes and the car
I [F]toss and turn nightly, it [G]don’t get me far
Verse 4
If [G]I won the lottery you [D]surely would be shot of me
Be out the [G]country quicker than a [D]flash
[G]Leavin on a jet plane, [D]people’d think that I’m insane
[A]Ridin’ high down on to Nash-ville…
Last Chorus
Where I’m [A]thinking ‘bout the cashflow
[G]Don’t care where the money’d go
Get [A]shoes ‘n’ booze, all that I’d [G]need
[A]Treat the wife, no more strife
[G]Havin me a second life
[A]Play guitar, [G]be a star
[F]Drive myself a [G]fancy car
[A]Sleep sound, won’t [G]touch the ground
Give [A]some away, [G]sleep all day
[F]Dream about my big payday…

Re: My first ever song... answers on a postcard! (18 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi people
thanks for your kind comments and the time you took to play the song, it is appreciated.
Last Rebel: Once again I am sorry if it causes you offence, but here's a little background... I was reading some threads on this great site and people from all walks of life passing on their experiences to help each other deal with their problems. Quite a few pieces of advice involved relationships with Jesus/God. I realise there is a huge gulf between regular churchgoing folk and the irreligious/agnostic/atheist lifestyle that predominates on this side of the big pond and it just got me thinking. Perhaps it comes on a little strong but I really just meant to illustrate that you can be a good person living by your internal moral compass but there is still a place for God in peoples hearts.
Friends?

Re: the song i scribbled on the other side of the paper.... (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi last rebel - great lyrics!
forgive my presumption but how's about changing the line in the first verse to
I tend to live a little more than I earn
that fits in with the cashflow blues thang, then maybe a coda at the end with the original lyric to make it a wistful regret type of song ending on some kind of minor chord?
take care
BoneDaddy
