The stereo headphone jack is an output source not input its for listening to music without useing the speakers, if you have left and right rca jack "ins" you could use a "Y" chord that has a 1/4 inch female plug that you plug your guitar or microphone into then you would need another "Y"chord that has a 1/8 inch mono plug on one end and 2 rca jacks on the other end this plug would go to your left and right "outs" on your stereo to the back of your computers soundcard microphone input, and the stereo would act as a power source with volume,bass and treble control smile

Russell,
  Thanks for your reply and patients. I'm sure I will find the answer to this last question after doing the downloads  but you are so darn handy.Last Question (for now) is this. Could I record from the stereo to the computer by using the stereo headphone jack and the computer line in jack.

I realize the headphone jack is an output. Not to worry! My first Audacity download is 98% complete. Thanks again Russell.

Technology has passed me up! My parents had some old cylinder type records,I  actually remember operating a Victrola with 78 rpm records,later 45rpm singles, 33 1/3 rpm albums,AM radio,  FM radio,8 track tapes, cassette tapes, Beta  VCR, VHS VCR,CDs and finally DVDs. After that I'm lost.
         Back to subject! I think I am understanding that, if I download something like Audacity and I have the cables to do so,I can hook my guitar (and or mike), or stereo to my computer and record to and from my computer. Is that correct?

I see (like me) you are new to chordie. Click on Songs, choose a song you would like to learn, and if it comes up in chords you don't like, start hitting the transpose button. You will be surprised at how versatile chordie is once you try all the features. Welcome!

I do most of my playing and singing at church or in nursing homes. I have terrible stage fright at times. The hands get cold as ice yet sweaty at the same time. I have found that if I can do some talking before I begin it really helps. A testimony or a humorous story. I know that you don't always have this option but it helps me when it is convenient.

I've been around so long I don't have a favorite song and I can't tell you what the prettiest car I've seen is or who the prettiest woman is that I've seen but high on my list of favorite love songs would be "All I Need is The Air That I Breath".

I have the same problem but I have noticed some people insert the chords on the same  line as the lyrics. I think I will begin doing that.

Sample.  (C) Down in the valley valley so (G) low-----------

Here is a joke I have heard.
A guy goes up to a beautiful gal at the bar and says "Can I buy You a Drink?"
She says "Sure But I Only Go Out With Doctors,Indians, and Frenchmen!"
He says"Let me Introduce Myself." I'm Doctor Tonto Fountaineaux!

Has anyone ever checked your set up on your guitar? It may be part of your problem.
I don't believe I will ever be much better than I am now but I sure enjoy trying.All of us can't be great  but keep on trying.

Thanks to chordie I learned  that sometimes while changing chords it is ok to hit the strings open in between the chords you are changing to and from.This buys you a little time and actually sounds good on some songs.

true, but thats neither here nor there. rap is an expression of what some people hold true in there life, so i dont think it can be automaticlly discounted

Nor does it have to be automatically accepted. Not to argue with you though selso. The original question was can rap be considered poetry and the answer seems to be yes.Have a good day.

rap is poetry. the common beilf that its all f... this and f... that is untrue. bands like the roots dont get enough attention .  my beef with rap is the use of electronics to soley make a song. theres alot of good rap out there but there is more crap that gives it a bad name. remember people hated elvis when he came out, but look what happend. we fear things we dont understand

We also dislike what we dislike!
