hi and welcome to chordie.

As I have used and still using it, I can recommend jamplay.com  loads of videos to watch and learn from. This site does require a feee though, but I would say it is worth it, whether you are experienced wanting to learn a new style or a complete beginner I tihnk it is good.

Also there is a guy called Justin on the net somewhere, I hear he is good but I dont know much about him, other maybe could tell you about him.

Good luck with your learning

Ken

good words

Ken

hi marjeres,

can you be more specific please.

have you made up a songbook at all?

Ken

Hi Andreas
and welcome to chordie, glad you like the site.

If you read the post at the top of this section that Roger Guppy posted this will explain a few things about posting songs.

You could go here http://www.chordie.com/addurl.php and add a song, but it will ot be instantly.

As well as Roger explaining it also tells you a bit on that link too.

Cheers

Ken

lol Zurf,
Very true on things ye think of in places of work when ye dont want to be there, just think of other things like that, sit back and smile and get on wit hit.

I like wee factual stories like this, epecially when you are there looking at it and learning about how things got there or how they failed etc.

I could tell you about the "forth road bridge" in Scotland but I would only frget parts, if not all of it

Good stuff

Ken

Good question 06.

I tihnk you might have answered your question. I tihnk lots of guitarist could do things really heavy, even before the likes of Led Zep and jimmy Hendrix.
I tihnk the reason we never heard it before was because of the sound that was going about then, I dont think any producer was ready to unleash the heavy distorted guitar with long mad fantastic solos. I think for live performances anyway TheWho could have been one of the firt heavier guitar bands.
If you look at when chuck Berry Eddie cochrane etc were about in the late 50's, their music was seen as rebellious and heavy( for its time) yet we see it as very tame compared to Led Zed, sex pistols, even sounds like Revolution and helter skelter from the beatles.
I see all music changes from the easly 50's up to late 80's as gradually getting introduced slowly through the years.
Chuck berry to the Who to Black Sabbath to sex pistols to Metallic to Slayer

Just an example, I am sure folk could add more or make their own up. It is just a progression of music through the years.

Also ye mentioned revolution which made me ( for some reason) mention helter skelter, Motley Crew done a cover of this and I tihnk if that if the sound or the rightproducer was about at his time wen he beatles done it, they would be sounding like motley crew's version.
Also whie still thining,lol, souixe and the banshees done a cover of "dear Prudence" again , would the beatles have made it sound like this in a different time?

Hi Mickey

I was thinking of moving this to CHAT,
bt it is about chordie and you have a very valid point.
I too have noticed the amount that goes unanswered.
I know I look in tha section when i see a new pos in but if I do not know the song I will not reply. I think this might be the case with most.
Or, I have a few times a while ago looked up on google for what some were looking for and found it quite easily and thought they could have done that.
Maybe they are not that familiar with search engines? maybe they are too lazy and just want the answer right in front of them? maybe they think a few milion people read that section and will get an answer? maybe members do not look in that section as they are not interested in helping?

quite a lot of anwers and I tihnk maybe all of the mare correct.
But still it does get used and some requests do get replies. I have not looked and tallied them up but I would think that the majority do get replies, even thoughter re a big number not getting replies.

this does solely rely on members to have a look in when they see a new post has been submitted and maybe they will never be able to help anyone but maybe one day they could help someone.
We cannot force members to go in or even to help if they do know the answer, but it would be nice if we could

Also for anyone replying, they must remember NOT to post lyrics and chords directly onto chordie, so maybe some of these unanswered threads are getting replies via email straight to the person.

Ken

Char yer still making me laugh.

I think I am right in saying that there is some work going on in chodie just now and sometimes everything might not function as normal.
if this continues please reply again

Ken

I saw this post on xmas day and thought I have to record something first before posting something on here.

My son got a 3/4 size electric guitar and starting kit.
My daugher gt a 3/4 size violin.

both have not had any lessons apart from me showing him the odd chord or two. My daughter as had a go on my wife's violin to make a noise, enough for her to say she wants to learn it.

About a week before christmas I had shown my boy a few clips on youtube with angus young, the guitarist from ac dc, the one that dresses like a school boy and goes mental on stage.

My son now thinks this guy is a god and indeed he is!

here is a one minute video of the two of them on christmas day, although only a minute this went on most of the day.
