Topic: a late night Friday afternoon (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I have not got any chords for this yet, I even forgot all about this song.
I cannot remember writing it but i do know that there are no spelling mistakes, I would have wrote those words down deliberatly to be sung with a scot's slang accent
A late night Friday afternoon
I was feeling fine at quarter to nine
My belly fu’ and I was drinkin’ red wine
Wid’nay be long till it was time
So I got to get movin on
Get me my coat made a’ mink and stoat
Its smells of a luxury fishing boat
I should have bought a coat made a’ goat
But this will dae me just fine
CHORUS
On a late nicht Friday efternin
The morn’ could’nay come aroond tae soon
Wae a heid like a drum I feel like a bum
I smoke so much my breath smells like a lum
I was seeing double but did’nay see yon trouble
Until it came up behind me and burst ma bubble
I had nae razor so I got designer stubble
I must remember to shave the morra
They took all my money they thought it was funny
Left me looking like a wrecked easter bunny
At night ye can never say it is sunny
Everythin’s dark and grey
chorus
When I got home I was no alone
The police were there wae a fine toothcomb
I got burgled at eight but I canny moan
Im too drunk to care
I sat doon on my chair as if I did’nay care
I lit up a smoke while the hoose lay bare
I cannot take this nae mare
I think I will go tae bed
chorus

Re: Are Esteban's any good (14 replies, posted in Acoustic)
hi tiger and welcome to chordie
I do not know the guitar you got but as for the strings, probably better getting new ones. Which ones? ye would be best taking it to a shop first to find out what strings are best suited for the guitar ( as I found out on here last week) for the first time changing them. When they get changed find out what gauge they are so you can do it yourself next time.
Or you can just go out and buy a few different gauges and spend time deciding what ones you like.

yep, i agree with rebel,
start with a few well known songs to make the crowd jump, or atleast tap their feet, chuck in a few of their own songs then finish with one or two covers again.

Re: Am I reading Tabs right (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
HiEagle
I got told by someone that wrote music in tab form and in sheet music form that it looks upside down because that is the way you look at your neck when holding the guitar. When you look down on it the e is actually at the top and the E is nearest you at the bottom.
I never argued with that as it made quite good sense.

I was reading today that BBC radio one has bleeped out parts of " fairytale in new york",
some people just have no sense of humour, even a gay activist said he was not offended and neither would most gay people.
But then thats the BBC for you.

Re: New to Chordie and new to music (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi Bri and welcome ( as if you needed more of a welcome than ye already got)
Well I am now feeling like a youngster ( probably because I am,lol) at 37.
Never too late to learn as others here have proven.
enjoy learning and enjoy playing, once you dont enjoy it, give up!! ,lol
Picking songs out of chordie will help you a lot, especially with the chord charts for chords you do not know.
Just remember, take your time and dont try too much at once like I have a habit of doing.

Re: Easy songs for Capo 2 (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
pastfan wrote:
Hi _ I am a beginner and for now I find it easier to get clean chords with Capo 2. Any suggestions for easy songs that use Capo 2?
Thanks!
hi pastfan
and welcome to the chordie forum.
I love using the capo on the 2nd,3rd 4th or even 5th frets, but it depends what your singing is like. I agree withyou that it makes the chords sound cleaner, also sharper and clearer but if you start straining your voice to match the key you are playing the song in ( beacuse when you use the capo you are changing the key ) you run the risk of eventually getting a nodule on your vocal cords.
You can put a capo on any song really.
If for instance you like playing G , C and D chords with a capo on the 2nd fret you are actually playing the A, D and E. So maybe you could transpose the songs -2 the nput on the capo on the second fret you will be playing the notes that are on the song. Hope that makes sense to you.
If not just say and I will or someone will explain clearer.
Ken
