Another awesome one from you, great lyrics and performance and as I said on SoundCloud, great to see you back into it.  You, along with some of the others on here, very talented song writer, guitarist and vocals great too.     

easybeat, nice one, I like the simplicity of the lyrics, makes it catchy, easy listening.  You performed it well.

That's awesome, I like this one very much.  Looking forward to hearing it.     

On another note, anyone else got a song for us? I will endeavor to get something up this week, I have been away this weekend and have had a busy couple of weeks, so hopefully find some time this week.     

Wow Zurf your on a roll!  Love it smile

So that first song you did the numbers song, I have to admit, I have never heard it before, so I will make sure to go have a listen to the original.  But you did some awesome guitar work in there on that one, must have taken you a while to learn it? Very impressive guitar work.

The second and third songs, both songs I love and remember well. 

The Second song suited you vocally and you played it well, had me singing along and tapping my feet.  I could quite easily have danced along to that one.  It is one I covered (or tried to cover) about 5 yrs ago for Chordie FSOTM but certainly didn't play it well like you do.  https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/sunda … ming-down. 

Finally your third song, laughs and giggles aside, you played it well, especially from memory if you haven't played it in a long time.  With a bit more practice you would totally nail it.  I love the sound of this one on guitar, there is something about the chord progression that is really appealing how it sounds.  If I could even play it like you did, I would be very impressed with myself.

ctech, well written, performed really well musically as well.  A touching song, of heartbreak and broken relationships and the hurt along with it.

Nice one Jets, your singing is always good to listen too.  I wondered how you were going to perform this song as I could see it has lots of lyrics in it and you covered it well and made it work.  Your guitar did you have it amped up?

That sounds awesome. 
You have such a unique voice and just a bit of an accent ( at least to me) that enhance it greatly.
Beautifully done.

Jim

Thanks so much Jim, appreciate the listen and comments smile  When we were in Canada many years ago and lived there for a few months, all the Canadians kept saying I had a strong accent lol     

Peatle, thanks so much for the lovely comments and for having a listen smile

Well written Easybeat.     

Here`s another quick (and I mean quick)  recording I did this afternoon in between housework lol, a few little mistakes in it but just recorded on a break before starting the vacuuming (anything to delay the vacuuming *sigh*).  I didnt muck around re-recording as got to much to do today.  It has the word MAN in it.

A touching sad song Jim, but well written.     

ctech, you performed that song you wrote really well.  I was wondering when you posted the lyrics to this song how the repeated verses about "Love" was going to work and now I can see what you had in mind and it worked, well done.  As I said before thought provoking, good lyrics smile     

Thanks for feedback neophytte, yeah that intro with the picking is the first time I have played it, I normally just strum the whole song, so still practicing when it comes to picking.     

Firstly thanks Brian, James and Peatle for having a listen to my version of Ghost Rider, appreciate the feedback.

Secondly TIGLJK, I have tried and tried to play your song but to no avail, its just not working for me sadly, I cant seem to get it to flow sad

Neophytte, thanks for reposting your song here in this month rather than suggestions, that helps me when I list the songs each month for the over all monthly entrants smile

unclejoesband, looks like you had lots of fun at that gig.  What a great setup by the looks and to get to perform with a bunch of mates, is what its all about.  I would love to do something like that smile

Wow, songs written about tough times in relationships are always sad, very sad but its also good to write those feelings down and express them and I think in song or poetry is a healthy way to help get emotions and feelings out and not keep them inside.  Well written Ctech.

That's  good Jets, I  look forward to hearing how you do this one.  And how nice to get away for a holiday to a nice beach resort.  I actually don't know this place but I always wanted to visit the Caribbean Islands.

I loved that Brian, lol, it made me laugh and I had a smile on my face the whole time listening to that.  It kinda reminded me of Flight of the concords how they would talk between their songs and strum while talking and they would talk on any subject and make it funny.  You did that, I think you have found a new talent smile
