great link.
I have never heard of this Stanley guy but now I am glad it is in my favourites.

But still, Flea still tops it for me. I have looked for something worthwhile in youtube for flea for those that dont know what he can do.
All I could come up with was this link, but I have seen him do much better with a solo doing all sorts of styles.

Something to do with bouncing tracks onto others. I have not recoded more than 4 tracks on it, but my mate has done this on his old amtrad 4 track. Once you have recorded tracks you send them all to one track, or something like that.

hi sinjin and welcome to chordie, glad you like the site

But no need to thank us for submitting chords/tabs. Chordie take the tabs and chords from other sites, but you can direct chordie to those sites if there is a song on another site you see but would like to see it in chordie with the chordpro format ( the way you see the lyrics with the chords on chordie)

You have came to the right place for help though. In this forum everyone helps everyone no matter if they are beginners to very experienced players.
We have people that can help with writing song, with scales, with chord progesions, easy songs, challenging songs, practically anything to do wit hthe guitar. Also if you play or would like to play other stringed intruments we have quite a number or other stringed intrument players,
Or there's the chordie chat corner where you can chat to fellow musicians.

Whatever your reason for being here I hope you find it useful , informative and most of all enjoyable

an amazing riff that has been used by a lot of musicians comes from BoDidley. I dont know the song he done with it, I was told by Jake Burns from stiff little fingers that it was originally Bo. jake stole it for a song on his solo album "drinking again" But also ( and now lots will think "ahhhh, I know what one ye mean now") George Michael used the same riff for his song "Faith", also covered by Robbie Williams. Quite a few songs have used this riff and it is a superb one

But i think any from Ac dc are just probably the best Rock riffs you can get.

another option to make your pick/plectrum is to make a hole in them so you finger and thumb make skin contact.
I think you can also buy plectrums that have holes in them already.
Since your skin touches skin there is no way the plecky can slip.

As for Russell saying hold it tighter, this will give you cramp in your hand after a while, unless you exersise your hand with some weights and really build those muscles up

yeah, a hole in the plectrum is my answer.

Lieven
great subject.

I do know that the scottish clans used to go into battle with the bagpipes playing.
The playing of the Bagpipe was banned in Scotland after the uprising of 1745. They were classified as an instrument of war by the loyalist government. They were kept alive in secret. Anyone caught carrying pipes were punished, the same as any man that bore arms for Bonnie Prince Charlie. In 1746, in York, James Reid, a piper who bore no arms against the English king was tried for treason. The court came to the conclusion "no highland regiment ever marched without a piper and therefore his bagpipes in the eyes of the law, was an instrument of warfare" He suffered death on the 6th November 1746.
After the ban was lifted, Highland Bagpipe playing  really began to emerge. They became very popular with Scottish Soldiers who carried the instrument the world over making the sound of the instrument more popular and encouraging others to learn.

Before that King William also banned the Irish from playing their pipes too.

Now onto a folk song that got banned that I love,
A song by an english folk singer "Harvey Andrews" he wrote a song called " the soldier" and released it on a 7" vinyl record in 1971 or maybe 1970 or 72, thereabouts.
it was based on a true story of a young soldier on duty in Northern Ireland, He was guarding the railway station when a package burst through the wondow from outside. It was a bomb. The station was filled with people and the soldier never had much time to evacuate the place so he threw himself on the bomb and sacrificed himself, muffling the bomb so more people would be saved. It describes his thoughts as he lay on the bomb, it is a very sad song. it ends with the words " and the rebels clapped and cheered as they sang their rebel song, thats one soldier less to interfere where he does not belong"
So anyway, the British government decided this was not a good advert for the british army and banned the song not only from the radio but from being made. A few did get out. I know 2 people, ex soldiers that have or had this song.
I love this song and I play and sing it on the guitar. I tihnk I might record this and put it on youtube.

And one more, that not only should the song have been banned but the whole band,
Frankie goes to hollywood's RELAX. because of the words it got banned from rdaio one, but never got banned from the shops which is a shame.
They did do a good cover of Springsteen's " born to run" though so they done something useful in their short lived bandlife

my two favourite sounding chords are A7 and C7.

A7 because it sounds so much better than A, but A still has to be played in certain songs, but I always see if I can replace it
And C7 because it is good for going from C to C7 to another chord, sort of fills a space.
A bit like oldnewbie has described I think, it sort of pushes the song onto a new part.

flashing ads?

I never get any flashing anything on this site.
If you mean pop up ads then just turn on your pop up blocker.

if ye dont mean that then i am lost to what you mean

sorry jerome,
I am disagreeing.
I just got a new 4 track and I will be recording myself doing other artists work as well as my own.
I will not be making money out of it so I will never be sued, and even if they did want to sue me, the only money they could sue me for is the money I have made ilegally from another persons work, So that means they will pay all those court fees to sue me for £0.00 since that is how much I will make by recording their songs.

I think an artist would be delighted that someone likes the music so much that they want to try it themselves, but when one person makes money on what another wrote....then he has the right to be annoyed and take it to court.

So, my first song today will be John Prine's "Other side of town" with guitar, vocals, mandolin and I might try a note or two from the violin. Although it is a 4 track I can get 32 tracks down on it, but 4 is plenty for my needs.

Ken

thanks Roger for looking into that.
I know I can play the 4 tracks at one time allowing me to mix etc while the song is being recorded but I do not know what to use to record it with. My recorder on this pc only records about 30 secs at a time, unless I am being really thick and it is easier than I think.
I have never used the computer to record apart from wit hthe guitar pro, but that would mean more settings on that program.

Is there an option just to record anything on to a pc that I am not seeing?

I could ask my father in law next, but I am just so impatient.

I have now recorded 4 songs. This has taken about 6 hours I tihnk, and they could have been done better if I was not so impatient.
