I always thought markets where like a little bit of history. How shopping used to be done years back a simplier way more honest maybe.
Both my wife and I like Bootsales as well never know when you are going to pick up a bargain smile
Thanks for another good one

Hi Selso
Just had a listen to vid (though headphones) and I can't hear any popping sounds as such. Webcam mics aren't generally all that good at recording sound.  Maybe your speakers are at fault nice tune

Hi sweetarl
Welcome to Chordie.
Please don't repeat a post which you have already made. The first post was made in the wrong section as this one was and should be in " Song requests" and if placed there should get you more responses. This post is lightly to be deleted.

Hi Russ
Thanks for comment.
I know ambient music is not everyones taste and strangely it's not my most favourite genre of music. At the moment all my melodies seem to come out that way.
I really do envy guys like yourself Phill and Selso and others who can write lyrics and perform their songs.
I guess the grass is always greener as they say...  smile


Daddy
Your comments are alway very welcome. Thanks



Hi marcalan
Thanks for taking the time to watch and listen and for the comment.



Hi Selso
The video was a first for me and I'm not sure if I was trying to make the music or the film  more interesting  smile
The imagery in your lyrics is always first rate..
Thanks for your comment.


Hi Kenny
I couldn't remember if there was a Virtual Cello in Condor so I had a listen and I think it's a suspose to be a trumpet. I probally played around with the sound a bit so...  smile
Thanks for the comment and I hope you can get the myspace video working.

Thanks again for all your comments

Hi mekidsmom
Welcome to Chordie.
When my wife started to learn to play the guitar I got her a smallish nylon strung Classical shaped guitar. There was noway she had the strength or finger toughness for a steel strung acoustic. The long nails had to go and I told her to expect some pain in the process of learning both mental and a little physical  smile
I don't like the word cheating where learning chords are concerned. All the best players "cheat" for speed and necessity.
In a perfect world of learning the guitar I would say that learning a full chord is the proper way to go.. But depending on what you want to achieve in the long run ie just strumming a few chords and singing along then to learn the shorten version of a chord is fine and a quicker way of getting enjoyment out of your playing.
Get a guitar that "You" are comfortable with practice as much as you can and just enjoy guitar learning journey.
You will soon be bang out some "Bach" tunes.. smile

The first one is with a video so there something to watch as well. My first foray into matching in sound with film albeit a NASA animation..
I'm very interested in space travel etc where I think man's salvation will ultimately lie..

The Second is called "Condor" I'm afraid you will have to use your imagination on this one.
Please tell me if you think music reminds you of flight or not..  smile
