I really get into listening to music when i ride my bike. I put my mp3 player on my hip and cruise with headphones. It is not unusual for me to listen to the same song 2 or 3 times in a row to catch the lyrics better or listen to a great rhythm. I usually ride 10-12 miles so I get a good  listen and then walk about 2 miles to cool down.   I also love to put the headphones on while at my computer - and get into music I haven't heard before - that's why I love Deadeye's fridays and TF's Tuesday and Wednesdays posts.
The original plays here on chordie also get my attention all the time.

I only play to relax - usually on my front porch  or in my computer room if I am writing a song.  Playing guitar is my getaway from the other components of my life.

I was having breakfast in a restaurant yesterday and was watching this very pretty middle age woman - I could tell she had been crying. I don't know why, but my imagination took me to this song. 

just a country style song about a girl that suffered through a bad relationship -feeling worthless- and a guy that sees all the beautiful things in her - and would like to love her.

this was different than my others bc I wrote it with no  song in mind  Hope you like it.

Wow
Very talented.

There is way too much going on for me to even imagine playing like that. I have enough trouble getting one hand to stay on beat using one guitar neck.  That was mesmerizing!
Such flexibility in the hands as well  - I.ve got no shot at ever attaining that ! smile
Great song.
Thanks for sharing

I totally agree with Phill  !!!  smile


Jealous,covetous,and envious  are the three words that come to mind.

I did not know that Kingsman was a guitar Elvis used often. ( I love when I get an education from chordie posts!)

I looked them up on reverb - you've been given thousands of dollars of guitar value !!
I need friends like that too !!!

I am sure your friend knows how much you appreciate a great guitar and feels confident in placing them in your possession.
I will look forward to seeing you post some songs that were played by these beauties!

Thanks for sharing

and HAPPY CANADA DAY to all my friends living in the great North land!!

Heck - if Dylan can say revisited - so can I  smile

I kept playing my song Almost and came to the conclusion that it basically sucked without a chorus.
So this morning  I wrote a chorus to it.

It's a little long - but what the heck - it is  a blues song.
It's just a song about someone who is so angry about giving all they had, and then being tortured by the failure of the relationship.

so here it is in it's eternity, I mean entirety  smile

That is weird.... I move songs all the time.
I just did it a minute ago to make sure it was working.

I just check the box of the song I want to move, then go to the little plus sign with arrows that says move song.   choose the destination songbook, click OK and volia! it is moved.

I have no problem whatsoever doing it.

are you trying to move a song from one song book to someone else's?  that might be a problem. I think it has to be from one of your own songbooks to another of your own songbook !

welcome to chordie
I am sure it was deleted. 
That happens to me when deleting and adding.
One time I didn't think it was adding it, so I kept doing it.  In the end I had about 50 copies of it.
Once you hit the delete or add button - just close it out and re- enter your song book - it should be added or subtracted.

Beamer- left a message on cloud.
I am looking forward to the final version.  It is always amazing how a song can transform by different genres.



My daughter was just in Seattle - she lived there for a while - worked as a PA in some orthopedic surgical place.
Her husband was stationed there in the AF. so they went back to visit. I loved the area when I went out there.
His family lives in Philomath Or. (Near Corvallis)
Are you from around there ?

I don't know if you follow baseball - but Oregon State ( Which he played for in college) is in the College Baseball World series - I'm enjoying watching them!


Thanks gain for the cover, buddy !

Enjoy the summer- it was gorgeous when I went there.

It is a shame - way too young.  The history of his life is a great read.  I don't remember his brother being shot on stage - that must've been unimaginally awful.

It was interesting to read about their Dad who was a country songwriter influenced them and they ended up heavy metal.

At least now he can re-join the band with his brother and the others we have lost.  Always a sad day to hear of these losses.

Thanks for the post Beamer
