THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN HERE ON CHORDIE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION RUSSELL !
Short, to the point, clear message, perfect rhyme scheme.
Put that together with a musician who is talented and right in his wheel house bc he is playing what he loves - and you've got a fantastic song production !Superbly done Russell - if this was put out by a famous band it would go high on the charts !
Thanks for sharing it.
Jim

DAGGER Lyrics and music by Russell Harding 2019
1st verse
No more cryin, no more trying, no more lying to myself
she didn't want me, she didn't need me, saving her lovin for somebody else
bridge
misguided affections bring only rejections she put a dagger in the heart of my love
2nd verse
Don't wanna believe it, but I can't deny it, why don't these feelings just go away
it cuts like a razor but it don't even Phase her, stormy days are here to stay
(repeat bridge)
3rd verse
When you laughing, everyones with you, but when your crying, you cry alone
I begged and I pleaded, but I wasn't needed, she's got a heart made, out of stone
(repeat bridge) solo out

Good one! I don't have a trem on my LP but my Fender Eleit has one and it is killer I can dive bomb it and it always stays in tune I like to use both depending on the song or my feelings at the time.

Thanks, gents ... and I appreciate the great advice about the need for perfect timing. Here's the kind of creativity (featuring Tobias Rauscher) that has me drooling:
I can see why, this young man is very creative and technically sound and also uses some high quality mixing and video skills.

Re: Looper Recommendations? (6 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Loopers are only as good as your timing, if your playing with a drummer and bass player it's a whole new animal from sitting in your living room practicing and you have to almost anticipate when to punch in the recorded track a split second.

I'm still kicking Russ, glad to see you are too and back recording. Any news on the band front?
Good to hear Phill, Yeah I'm sorrta getting another shot at it I'ts tough getting people to commit most of them have a lot of other projects and stuff and I have been using my Alesis SR-16 for drum tracks it does a fairly good job but not like a real person

These days I get that on most songs. Since I retired I've put on a few pounds and most seem to have gone to my fingers. When I need up during a big I just say "I haven't practiced that for a while" which is probably true anyway. I like simple riffs like Smoke on the water or Don't stop believing.
yep me too it's called "ageing" good to see your still kicking

every song I play !Hey Russel - good to hear from you ! How ya doing?
Jim
Hanging in there Jim I do have several new original songs that are being recorded in my buddys basement enough for a CD but lots of mixing will be necessary before I can have the tracks sent out to be mastered. Other then that I am studying a lot of chess book and playing in online games to keep my mind sharp.

Re: Riffs That Knot Your Fingers (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The opening for End of the Line by the Travilng Wilburys. George Harrison came up with a very tasty lick it uses a D chord form (open) and alternates with a major F chord form (two fingers) and another form in a rapid change up and down I am able to play it on my light stringed guitars but struggle on the acoustics.

I don’t care for either of the voicings you list above, so I too struggle with those because of how they sound. I prefer this
E 2
B 0 (or 2)
G 0
D 0
A 2
E 3
I use this good info BGD
That open voicing is my favorite and works particularly well on acoustic.On electric I would play g maj 9:
E x
B 3
G 4
D 4
A x
E 3Just a thought!
This is a very handy voicing especially if alternating with Gmaj6 for a nice dowop feel as in the song Moments to remember

Re: Playing an Instrument is Good For You (18 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I think there is something to this notion, I forgot what I was going to say hmm just kidding I have a fair memory I am 77 years young and can still recall most any song along with the lead guitar parts so there must be some truth to this but I think regular practice has a lot to do with it too and just like anything you cannot put it in the closet and take it out when you feel like it and expect your performance level to not suffer.
