good post toney!!

I always thought HEAVY METAL got it's name from the studs on the belts,jackets, boot straps with studs, metal cod pieces,  etc that rockers wear.

hi,

When you go onto a song you can transpose the song by looking to the right hand side. There is an option to "transpose". if you go in there and click +2 it will transpose the song up two frets ( meaning it is going up two keys) If the song start in the chord A originally it will transpose ( change) it to starting in the chord B +2 makes it C etc etc

playing a guitar with no capo is playing it "Open". It depends what chords you use that determines the Key you are playing in.

if you go here, you can see things about scales, keys, chords, notes.

I  found this site really useful and still use it sometimes.

if a band do not make up most of their own songs then yes, any tribute band is a cover band.

Some see " two from the jam" as a cover band but as the name says two of them were in the jam anyway, so they are not a cover band, and also they are making a new album.

there are too many cover/tribute bands.
They use the name tribute so it does not sound as cheap and tacky and thieving as COVER band

That is not to say they are good what they do, and good luck to them but I would not go out my way to watch any, although I have seen one or two AB CD were very good but not a patch on the real group. Also I wouldnt pay entrance fee into an establishment to watch someone make money from the talents of others.

well, maybe "the australian pink floyd" or "mac Floyd" if they tickets were at a reasonable price

Ken

well I would say no one can disagree ( like others have replied to)
Lennon and McCartney  ( if you are allowed two , even though most were wrote by Lennon)

the two names are a household name even today.
They not only recorded so many of the songs they wrote but lots they wrote were recorded by many others and not a lot know they wrote them because the beatles never recorded them.

but also on the list

Dylan
Richards and Jagger
tyler and perry

thanks for the link James,
Watched a few now.
Not bad but would take a few listenings to get to know the songs and love them. But I like dwhat I heard/saw

Ken

wlbaye

Yer gonna love the concert!!1
I have never heard of Emmylou Harris but that doesnt matter.

I went to see John Prine last year in Glasgow. I got a ticket along with another 12 or 13 folk. I liked what I had heard of John prine so I thought I would go along and see what he was like, hearing that he was fabulous the year before.
I know he is getting on a bit and had cancer treatment to his throat but He can still pull off a great gig. His speaking voice was a bit hoarse but his singing was still top notch! and as for his guitar playing, well it is probably the best I have ever heard an acoustic guitar getting played in a concert.
I have mentioned this a few times on chordie before but i dont mind mentioning again

enjoy the gig and give us a report on it.

Ken

totally agree with tony there.
stars only get media attention because of who they are, there are a lot people worse off and on a lot more substances than a lot of stars.
And apart from that, the stars probably like the attention as being hell raisers, it gets them a bigger profile then silly wee kids think its cool and say they like them.
must be some sort of rebelious thing ( I am speaking from experience)

without treading on Jerome's reply which is bang on correct.

If you play a G chord without the capo, you are playing G

If you put a capo on the 2nd fret and hold the G chord down ( as in the same shape of chord you would do for G) it is not actually a G. As jerome says you are making the key go higher so since the capo is on the 2nd fret the actual chord you are playing is an A chord.

if playing the shape of a G chord with the capo on

1st fret         actually is G#
2nd fret                        A
3rd                               A#
4th                               B
5th                               C
6th                               C#

etc etc

Also with other chords  A chord with capo on the 2nd is B

If you find a song you like and you do not like the chords then you can transpose them to chords that are easier to play.
If you find you cannot sing along while playing those chords then use the capo. Try different frets until you find your pitch.

hope this helps a bit

Ken

me too,
i will e mail per and let him know

Ken

Yer nearly getting the hang here.
Roger told you in " about chordie" section to come here and ask, but I know for sure he would have been meaning for you to open a new thread.

What you are doing is highjacking another thread.

To ask your own question open a new page

how do you do this?
easy!!

click on "new topic" in the song request section.
name it  " chords and lyrics for David gates"

this way if anyone knows david gates they will open and read and hopefully help you out.

Cheers

ken

all the replies are all true rgivens.
But also if you did put it on here to share and someone did steal it and you found out you could prove you wrote it first maybe by showing a judge the web page you put it on. It would show the date, but it might not actually prove you wrote it, they might say you stole it from them years ago, but I tihnk that would be unlikely.
Also I would be quite chuffed if someone wanted to use one of my songs, as they have done before.
I put a song on youtube " some people" I got asked on the site and through an email if a guy could you it for his band.
I gladgly let him use it. I gave him permission and I dont want anything for it, even if it made it as a big hit. I might want recognition for it though.
I write songs for fun. If I wanted to do it for money I would be trying a lot harder to push my songs out. But for just now I just like sharing my songs here and on youtube and myspace.
