Jim. I read this when you first posted it but I wanted to let Bill be the first to reply.

Your songs have always been beautifully crafted. Having said that you have certainly excelled yourself with this one. I haven't attempted to play it yet, no time as usual, so I can't tell if it needs a bridge or middle eight or even a solo.
A stunning song and I'm sure Bill and Dondra appreciate your artistry.

As you say Beamer, very powerful! As you play I can imagine drums, bass and maybe keyboards in the background? Beautiful guitar and I love the way you play it through an amp with distortion yet the mik also picks it up. Not as profane as I was expecting, more on the profound side.

Looking forward to reading and attempting to understand your thoughts. I say attempting as I don't believe anyone can truly know another's mind!

That explains why Turkish music has always sounded flat in places to me (I've had many Turkish holidays) and learned a very useful fraze (frenetically spelt)

the sound was fine, i'm sort of glad it wasn't "puppet on a string" being a rock snob and all that, but i would have liked to have heard it with mr. Martin singing with you. the band sounds quite tight and professional. must come back to Portugal and see a full set one day.

Looks good. Like the fact that it's detachable and leaves no mark. Sounds good on the demo too. I put one (not one of these) on my Fender years ago, it came with black gooey sticky stuff which still won't come off and fitted inside the sound hole. This one looks a lot more convenient.

It seems they're dropping like flies. Another great talent, what a voice? That band up in the sky must be sounding heavenly

You made perfect sense and as I said on the previous post, it's good to hear from you again. I think that song might be perfect for your audition, you can't go wrong with a two chord trick....you just have to remember the words, something I'm struggling with these days!

i haven't used a phaser for about 35 years! i kept getting comments like "phasers on stun" . last time i used one was on bass as per Phil Lynnot, "waiting for an alibi" Thin Lizzy" brill band. i think i've still got it somewhere?

hope you have many enjoyable jams etc, getting to know how to use them is half the fun

i've been doing a lot of work on my house the last few months so i haven't had much recording time (or the strength, tired all the time) so it's nearly all done now so my goal is to get back to working on new songs and paying more attention to chordie and practicing, my playing was abysmal on my gig last weekend, so more scales and finger exercises. btw i've always used my pinky so i'd find it odd not to use it, though my plucking hand (that's not a euphemism)  i sliced my pinky cutting veg for sunday lunch...lots of blood and stings like billy-oh and everytime i use it it opens up again...plasters are no good, trying my best with a pick...dig it?

Great song. I've unfortunately seen many places like this especially lately as prices are being artificially increased by the government. Also while speaking to the punters I've been privy to secrets that I might never repeat. I think your story revolves around someone with less morals? A great story all the same. Also enjoyed the recording.

I'm on my tablet so I checked and there doesn't seem to be a scroll button. I use my PC and laptop for scrolling and no probs there. You may get better results from an iPad?

I hesitate to raise this but your ancestors could well have been French? As you mention mainly European DNA!!! And you come from Essex....oh dear the evidence mounts up!

I feel envious of anyone that can play classic guitar because I can't, even what I do play is below standard.
My influences began with Burt Weedon, Tommy Steel, the Beatles, Hendrix, Steve Howe, Jeff Beck and so many others that I wish I had a fraction of their talents.

I usually copy and print, that way I can get rid of a lot of stuff I don't want, also edit to fit a page etc. More details if required.

I have 2 sets in my drawer for when they're required. Ashton designed in Australia and a set called Johnny Brooke, who or where they are made is a mystery. I think I have rotosounds on at the moment.

You've hit the nail on the head there my friend. Over the last few weeks I've been working on the house and haven't had much time for the interweb let alone Chordie. Stolen moments here and there just like now, so I haven't had much time for anything but checking for spam. I do like reading and listening to people's songs, not so much covers though. Your sentiments are on the head as usual and the way you've written it are gritty and relevant.

Cool amp. Surely the super deluxe version would have a cooler too? Maybe an ice dispenser? And of course a bottle of JD?

Jandle, I bet your voice with a little uke background would be fabulso
