at first I thought Eagles Greatest Hits album or the One of These Nights Album, but after closer examination - NOT !

I believe the word prodigy should appear somewhere in the assessment of this young man !
It appears to me that he is in love with the instrument and plays it as such.
There probably aren't too many humans that can play like that.
What a wonderful performance !
If I could play anywhere near that level, I'd quit my job. 
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Walking In A New World (8 replies, posted in Poems)
Well written Scott !
I can follow the path of the poem perfectly from all the episodes you have described.
I think it would be great if you stepped out of your metal genre for a song and played this ---- wait for it----
I think as a jazzy slow song. In my head the lyric speaks so much that I think a jazzy sound would do it great justice.
I don't know if that makes sense to you. But any way - excellent poem.

Beamer - that riff sounds ominous - like something is lurking or something dangerous is about to happen. Very good sound.

She is wonderful !
I really, really, really loved the last one - "Something inside of me" it was perfect blues in my opinion.
(and I as I type that sentence - I just got a rush that those words would be the a great title for a blues song _ " {I got the} Perfect Blues" !
What a double edged sword that would be!
Thanks for sharing

That is amazing. He is a one man band- and only using an acoustic!
A true master of music.

I too never had heard that song - you played it very well. I had the exact same thoughts TF did about the headset Mics!
You are a master of many different styles of music for sure.

TF and Phill
Thank you for your kind words.
I actually like to play this song, it has a good rhythm to it and the chords are easy.
It came about bc I was reading a book called Leaders and it compared Martin Luther and Martin Luther King,Jr.
The phrase " here I stand" just resounds with opening one's self to everything that can be thrown at them - even in love.
again, TY for your positive comments.

Re: Here I Stand (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks Beamer !
I hope to record it and post it sometime in the near future.
It's my first attempt at writing a song with a bridge in it, so I'm kinda trial and error editing it as I go.
Thanks for your kind words and I hope that now that you have found a new " dancer" things will fall in place.
I really didn't have you in mind when I wrote it, but now that i think about it and consider your former posts, it does seem to fit the history.
Best wishes to you.

Song about needing love... a slight bit of reference to Martin Luther ( 1521) in the first chorus line
Here I StandJim Kenyon
[Em]There’s no place to hide to ease my pain, like [G] running down the road in a pouring rain
[D]embraced by the shadow of soft moonlight, l’m [Em] looking for someone to make life right
[Em]They tell me that wisdom comes over time, and to [G]just have faith in this heart of mine
[D]But I can’t wait no longer, I need help now, need to[Em] find a love and survive somehow
.
Chorus
[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand
[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land
.
[Em]Thinking about the day when the ache is gone, it’s the [G] dream that I’ve been working on
[D]I’ve searched my soul, looking for an answer, I [Em]hear the music but I’ve got no dancer
[Em]Hoping for a lover to keep me warm,and [G]bring me some shelter from this storm
[D]There’s no telling what tomorrow brings, but [Em]I want to be somebody's everything
.
Bridge
[Am]so here I stand..........waiting for a sign
[Em] here I stand.........put your lips on mine
[Am]here I stand ............. needing something new
and [B7] here I stand............. waiting for a love like [Em]you
solo through the chords again into the chorus...
.
Chorus
[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand
[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land
outgo, little slower....
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for a trip to the[D] promised [Em]land
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land
Slow ending
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me [D]by the [Em]hand
[D]no matter how long it takes, I'm gonna [Em] stand til I reach the [D] promised [Em]and.

Re: JX3 passed his addiction to me NGD again! (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The problem with selling them is that you get about 20% of the value -
it's similar to automobiles - soon as it leaves the lot - re-sale value plummet's like a stone in water.
Might as well keep it. I'm at 12 and that where I will stay. I don't need any more and don't really want to sell at a huge loss.
Someone on here once put a quote out that said something like " My biggest fear is that my wife is going to sell off my guitars after I die for what I told her I paid for them ! "
My wife's favorite - " you spend big $ on a new guitar b/c you say you can hear the difference, but you can't her me calling you from the kitchen to take the garbage out! "
I think mine ( and probably Beamer's) is " You can't buy happiness, but you can buy guitars, and that's close enough for me !" ::)
That's just my humble opinion as a guitar player that doesn't really even play
Jim
