Bill it  was  only  me  and  the band that  realised what  had  gone  wrong the audience  seemed unaware .
I think we are  always  our  own worst  critics, which can be  a  good  thing  as it  keeps  you  humble .
I  would  hope  never to become  a prima donna  like  some I  have  observed  .
A  few  years  back I was in the  same show  as  a famous  Greek TV personality  who  played a rock star in his show ,he arrived  sat on top  of  the  courteously bus refusing  to ride inside it ,  spent most  of  his set  riding a  skate board  round  the  stage  and shouting at  the  sound  guy  when he  felt  his  mic wasn't  right ,at  the  hotel  he just  disrespected his  band  and wouldn't speak  to  us  "mortals"  What  an A*****e!!!!!!! this  was  some  one  who  really  needed to  look inside himself and take on board  criticism.

The  thing  about  self  criticism is you always know  when you  have  played  the  bum note  or forgot  the  words ,half  of  the  time  if  youve  got  the  start  and  finish  right  the  audience  dont realise ,( our  old  fiddle  player taught me  that   a long  time  ago )I  remember   once  completely  making  a  total  balls of Seven nations  army  and  the  audience   calling  for  us  to  play it again  at  he  end  of  the  set ,(maybe  they  wanted  to  see  if  I  could  get  it  right, lol )

Thanks  Bill I  appreciate  the  compliment

Good song cant wait to give it a go

45 YRS GM28  how about  you

Phill I've  had  a  line 6 spider 75 since  they  came out its  been superb I did 4hr long sessions  with it  twice a week  for  2yrs  and  it never  gave  a problem so if  the  30 performs as well Ill be  very  happy .Reports  will follow .

I bought the line 6  its a good amp and of course like all line 6 products upgradeable by usb plus as I said before I know what I'm doing with it.

Cheers guys yeah its a blues tune  in a ragtime rythm . I'll try som slide over it when I do a recording .I may do a small gig on Sunday ,not sure yet but if I do I'll play it there.

true

Sounds great almost makes me want to play Smoke on the water again

This  is the  initial sequence I  came  up  with  ,it  starts   with  a jangley  walkdown intro  d-f-e-d-c  verse  2  follows  the  same  progression  but  with electric guitar and  I  think  a  short  solo   after  verse 2 before verse  3  takes a  calm exit .I  may  change  the  D  and the  A   to  minors   in verse  one   and  fifths  for  the  rest   not  sure  till  I  get  amped up again,
D            F-C
I feel so introverted
A                           D
Things are locked in side
D                F-C
All my deep emotions
A                                    D
Have just found a place to hide
F                              C
Once I could express my self
G                            D
With eloquence and pride
D                              F-C
My whole world just fell apart
A                         D
This wave I got to ride.

Taken from a distant shore
To some other land
Unknown faces all around
Words I dont understand
Situation dangerous
Not the life I planned
I feel so introverted
And I need a helping hand

I miss the warm wind blowing
I miss the deep blue sea
Familiar surroundings
The man I used to be
Perhaps one day I will return
And things will be the same
Till then I'm introverted
And live my life in pain
