Weedjie,
I love this song. Fantastic imaginitive lyrics.

Superb!!!

Just one thing.....The chords. you have them all in lower case. Sometimes when a D chord is shown as "d" it could mean it is Dm. and "a" Am etc etc.
It would be better if you got in the habit of using Caps for chords.

Are you going to record this and put it on youtube or myspace or similar? I would love to hear how this is done, I kinda stuggled with the Bm C#m part of the song.

Hi Buvvy

There are no cd's that I know of with a cd full of chordians own work, but great idea.

I was thinking of moving this t recording section but it is a chordie topic about chordie and one I think someone should try and do.
Might have a few problems like poeple not wanting to give their songs out etc.

But tis does remind me there is a youtube space for chordians to go to and share their stuff. I have not been there for a while. http://uk.youtube.com/group/Chordians

Thats about as near as a cd there is so far,lol. an online compilation

Ken

that is probably a very valuabel piece of info and so so correct. when singing in a different key it might make a learning think they cannot sing.
And since if starting off they might not know about transposing etc,

great post

Ken

yep Russell I totally agree with that but there are bands that have relied on the sound engineer/producer to make them a sound and has turned out terrible, but sounds good to the guy.
I have hear a lot of over produced stuff on tape/cd/album but when they play it live they do not get the same sound and thank goodness for that as their sound live is far better.

Take that robert plant and allison krauss album. I think that has too much effects in the guitar and I think this is down to the production. I bet when they play live it would have a slight echo/delay in it and would saound much better, and Robert Plant's vocals on that album have been tampered withtoo much too. He does not need this done to his voice but in the opinion of an enginneer he thought it would make a good sound. And maybe it does? maybe Robert and Allison lik it or they would not have agreed to it?

Hmmmmm, each to their own and all that but I think it is over produced as some other music can be too.

Ken

what i hate about someone producing your own work is they tell you what to do. You want t oplay it theway you want but yu are suppose to rely on the producer to tell you what sounds better for what you are doing, or what they think will sell and since they are supposidly the experts ye need to listen to them.
I would do a lot more of my own producing but i know I suck at it. But in my mind I know what I want. I should have went t ocollege to do a course on this when i had the chance years ago.

I also agree with southpaw and wlbaye.

Sir Paul McCartney from the beatles could not read or write usic yet he was very successful. The beatles also played cover versions and how did they do this? Probably by listening to the original over and over wit hpractice.

I can read a little music but mostly I do not bother, I much prefer to listen to the song and get the chords from the internet and learn te song  that way. You do not need sheet music with tempos and note etc.

And I do not think Jerome you should be insulting someone you do not know well enough to insult. How many folk did you tutor last year anyway? were you successful?

Wilcovecrue,

I was browsing around chordie on the recommended sites and stumbled across this one.

http://www.jeanniedeva.com/

An online tutor. I dont believe in online tutor for singing as it is not one on one  but there is a part you can sign up for free i think and she gives monthly free tips for singing.

Maybe worth a try if you are really that stuck with singing? But I would advise not to go paying for anything until you have a good bit of feedback o this site or any site. Or just take the free tips.

I think there would be a forum of some sort on singing on the net somewhere, something like chordie where guitarists help each other. If not hen there should be.

Ken

favourite ones i am listening to right now are hanoi rocks, sex pistols, And iron Maiden.

next week it will change yet again

Ken

im here as a member.

I dont like this at all.

Hi LArry,

Welcome to Chordie.

I could recommend PLAYJAM. there is a section and opinions in chordie on this site.
I found it quite useful before and recentely I am joined up again. It is a place where you pay a fee though, dont know if that would put you off or not, but it is a lot cheaper than an actual tutor.

It gives training from complete beginner to advanced players wanting to try a different style like finger picking, strumming, electric guitar, as well as other styles.

But good luck.

Ken

excellent lyrics, great song.
well done
