Love that Jazzy feel you got going there. I would love to hear a track with your guitar and Jandle singing.
Ditto! That would sound awesome!
Our Canadian version of those organizations is SOCAN, which oddly enough is the initials for Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada. Even though they obviously can't spell worth a hoot, their mission statement is: SOCAN is dedicated to upholding the fundamental truths that music has value and music creators and publishers deserve fair compensation for their work. It's main purpose is prevent commercial exploitation of copyright music, but they don't come down on folks just sharing a tune here and there for personal entertainment.

Terrific playing, and just as amazing film / sound editing ... I still marvel at how something like this is even possible.
Great way to start the morning, Badeye ... many thanks! We must be on the same wavelength, 'cuz I was noodling around with "White Room" just last evening.
Yup, we're missing our guy Peatle. It does seem to be the nature of Discussion Forums everywhere. Everybody takes a break now and then, for all kinds of reasons.
Thanks for looking for me TF I appreciate that. At this stage looks like I will have to just play it without the nice fancy bits.
Hahaha ... my pleasure entirely! Instead of someone else's nice fancy bits, you could likely do your own proprietary "Uke-a-Lady" nice fancy bits ... I'll bet it'll be awesome!
TF Do you keep your pinky finger hooked around your Bigsby tail piece?

What an awesome question .. because the answer is "Yes" and "No" ... it depends on the song. For example, if I'm playing any Pink Floyd stuff, it's always in hand because Gilmour uses it constantly. Songs like "Coming Back to Life" have a constant but gentle tremolo use throughout the intro. Other songs it just pokes in occasionally for a solo effect, something like how Steve Hackett (formerly of Genesis) uses it, or like Alex Lifeson (Rush).
I did some looking from here, Jandle, as sometimes material is available in one country but not another. Unfortunately, I had the same results as you. Maybe someone else here will have more success for you ... here's hoping.
Aha! Thank you, Sir. I thought I was listening to some kind of dialect. Just wasn't sure which one. I will search for more from "Iona", because a voice that beautiful needs more attention than just one listen. I shall return after I do that and then let you both know which song I have listened to.
Thanks
Bill
Hi Bill ... here are two others of theirs which are personal favorites ... Bainbridge is an amazing guitarist:
Some Chordians are currently performing, and some never really have. Then there's some of us who used to, but don't anymore. There are obviously many reasons why that happens, and good stories behind them ... which would be interesting to hear about.
My last performance was at a coffee house in the town where I went to university, just over 40 years ago. My set was typically acoustic solo numbers, and I opened with "Life's a Long Song" (Jethro Tull), "San Tropez" (Pink Floyd), and "Horse With No Name" (America). Most of the time, people would sing along with the "la la la" part of the last one ... but not tonight. Right afterwards, some bozo shouted, "Stop playing that s**t and play something we all know !". It was the age of disco (mid 70's) and this guy clearly had Saturday Night Fever on the brain. After a bit of a personal public meltdown, I excused myself and left humiliated.
With some soul searching, I decided that if I couldn't play the music I love and have others enjoy it, I wouldn't play at all. Sounds a bit childish, I know, but I felt that was being true to myself. I never got back on the horse, and it still remains nameless. 
Anyone else care to "bare their soul" about their last performance(s)?
Phill !!!
That's amazing work! Your "slice of life" lyrics and first-class performing had me smiling while my jaw hung open in amazement (that hurts, btw). Reminds me of something that the group "Bare Naked Ladies" might come up with ... five stars, mate!
Iona "Encircling" London, 2004

I suppose if we needed to pick a genre for this song, it would be "Irish Gospel Prog" (does that even exist?). Personal opinions of the subject matter aside, this is a beautifully majestic and atmospheric piece, with lots of talent and a tight performance throughout. The tones that guitarist David Bainbridge gets from his Fernandes "Dragonfly" guitar are amazing, making great use of the built in Sustainer pickup. "Encircling" is from their 1995 album "Journey Into the Morn".
To me the Beatles were awesome. They are the great deceivers however !
They make you believe that every song is a simple few chords. and then they always complicate it.
They were pioneers - unafraid to introduce new aspects of musical performance - attached to genius arrangements and powerful lyrics.
Truer words were never spoken! I say this kindly, in that they could be superficial enough to appeal to the masses, yet musically sophisticated enough to appeal to the musicians. Few have done it as well as they did.
Elton John "Your Song" (arranged / performed by Tatyana Ryzhcova)
Tatyana hails from Belarus in eastern Europe, and gives us a lovely rendering of this timeless classic by Elton John.

Funny you should mention that TF. Several years ago i quit taking photos of all the big smallmouth bass I've caught. Other than wearing different clothes and me looking a little older, the fish all pretty much looked the same. The walls of my music room are lined with framed pictures of fish caught from rafts, canoes and kayaks on streams all over the US. My son believes bringing a camera along is a curse that prevents him from catching big fish. He says he'd rather catch 'em and have people not believe him than bring along a camera and not catch any bigguns. Kinda like bringing along an umbrella seems to keep it from raining.

So true, DE ...
Back when I was guiding (mostly wading / fly fishing for trout) I used to take lots of pics, and give my client(s) a CD full of them afterwards as a memento of the trip. On one occasion, my client said to me: "Sheesh ... you didn't tell me there'd be paparazzi !"
Hi Dale, and welcome to Chordie!
In simple terms, a diminished 3-note (triad) guitar chord is simply any minor chord, with a flat 5th note. If I could describe the sound of a diminished chord with one word, it would be "mysterious". Here's a link to webpage which I hope you'll find as helpful as I have:
Neo ... I have a Bigsby on my Gretsch (quite easy to change strings) and a Stetsbar Pro II on my Les Paul. The Stetsbar is by far the easiest tremolo to use, change strings, and stay in tune. An absolutely brilliant design, which I first heard about from our own Russell Harding.
KeepItReal ... great chuckle from your post. Maybe he's in the "Banned" list ... I'll check. 
Bill) ... you're soooo right about the helpfulness of everyone here at Chordie. A great community only happens with great people, and Chordians are top drawer.
All of my photos, Bill, are images of almost every fish I've ever caught ... dunno why I keep taking them, 'cuz they all look alike.
Thanks, guys ...
Nice to know I'm in such esteemed company! Seriously though, it's actually quite enjoyable to learn little things like this regularly ... it's all a part of what keeps life interesting.
I went to play my Thunderbird bass yesterday, and the battery was dead (active pickups). Since I've only owned it for 4 weeks when I put a new battery in it, I started scratching my head. Bad wiring? Bad battery? Bad pickups? Under-inflated tires? Kim Jong Un? Global warming?
Come to find out (thanks to YouTube) leaving the jack cable plugged into the guitar (which I habitually do) will cause the battery to drain, even if it's not being played. A new battery is now installed, and it will be unplugged when not being played. And it feels good to be a wee bit smarter than I was yesterday!
Nice to know there's always something to learn, but (secretly) I did want to blame it on Kim Jong-Un.
Since we're on the subject of effects, is anyone using/or seen this little amp? https://www.tonewoodamp.com/?gclid=Cj0K … j1EALw_wcB
Thanks

I've never heard tell of the ToneWood, Bill. I watched the Mike Dawes video in the link you provided (thanks!) and am very impressed. The rate of change in digital technology is hard to keep up with, isn't it?
Some music had a "freshness" to it when we first listened, but a lot of it does indeed lose its appeal with time.
I recall listening to Steppenwolf's "Monster" album in high school, and thinking it was pretty good. Last time I listened to it, it just seemed like a bunch of poorly written protest songs about the Vietnam War, and I haven't listened to it since.
Good selection, Badeye ... Chester "Howlin' Wolf" Burnett at his best!
Bill ... the "ashtray" was a nickname for the metal box where the bridge and bridge pickup are located. Some models had a snap on metal cover over this, which often did get used for an ashtray.
This is very good, Easybeat ... I can hear influences from a lot of my favorites in there. Good on ya, mate!
