I lost 25kg in the period September 2009 until December 2009.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, I DON'T HAVE TO CARRY THAT WEIGHT, and I can walk (!!!???) short distances without my crouches.

Do you agree that at least 75% of beach boy's songs are very improved rock & roll songs?
A lot of their songs are in A - E - B chords.
The Beach boys' PETSOUNDS WAS ON OF THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON FOR SGT PEPPER by The Beatles. In a lot of top 100 albums you find on 1) SGT.PEPPER, and on 2) PET SOUNDS

Which amp is better: TUBE or VALVESTATE, ANALOGUE versus DIGITAL.
They also have "HYBRID AMPS", combo of tubes and digital, resulting in a real great and polyvalent amp. Like a FENDER CYBERTWIN.

Re: ACOUSTIC versus ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC the pros and the cons (17 replies, posted in Acoustic)
NELA, I think we walk on a parallel road.
MY POINTS ARE
1) If you sing, the melody coming out from your vocal chords, will be different, because of the anatomic structure, so if you record your voice and listen, it sounds different.
2) Same with a guitar, you sit with the back of the guitar body on your body and the hole is in front, so if you record that too, or if someone plays on your guitar, hole in your direction, the sound will be a little bit different
This is all "physics" and about VIBRATION waves.
HOW GOOD ARE THESE "CIGAR BOX" shaped guitars? ELECTRIC OR ACOUSTIC? It sounds like fun to make such a guitar.

Topic: Your Eyes (6 replies, posted in Poems)
I wish I couldn't swim, and drown in your eyes.
They are ocean blue, like little lakes on your face
so great and beautiful like a baby-deer in a moonrise
Seeing what you see, reading what you read without disgrace
I love your voice, the vocal chords moving, open and close
Your lips so red, without gloss, tasting like divine nectar
The way you walk, the way you move, and never a pose
You are so natural, tasting sweet, so smart, and your humor
I feel so good, smaller than a little bug in your body
Whatever you see, I see it too, whatever you think I know
I feel your feelings, your pain, your joy even knowing nobody
When I whisper in your brain, you what, why and how
Some day, I will be bigger and must leave you, which I regret
But a woman like you, your love, concern, I'll never forget
Would you keep me with you, being one coming from two
You don't have another, you can feel me, whatever I do
I want you so bad, it's worth a fight, not for one night
Skin to skin, body to body, extincting the light
You are my best friend, I lived in you, and now with you
We'll be together always, all days, even if I need some glue

Topic: HOW TO MAKE THIS SONG THE DEVIL'S PLAY in practise& properly. (0 replies, posted in Songwriting)
It's a kind of hardrock song, but I am not able to show you the way I play it, I tried to explain, but can't find a diagram for the used chords, for tabs, also: I CAN'T WRITE TABS.
HOW CAN I SHARE OR EXPRESS MYSELF IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE SONG IS VERY CLEAR TO PLAY. I start in open standard tuning: E - A - D - G -B - E
Can I get some advise about working out this song the way I described??
START: E-A-D-G-B-E, followed by A, up to 5th fret Am add11, up to 7th fret D6/9 or E9 sus 4, then on the high E and back down, but the main part is the switch from A --> Am add11-->D6/9.
Also going from A --> D--->on the 5th fret = F# maj� � to 7th fret Ab 11 for the strophe
Refrain: G - Em, but concerning the other parts or chords, I'm not finished.

Christmastime = present time.
In fact the real spirit of X-mas has gone.
PRESENTS are given all over the world.
In Europe people give more and more money, like 25$-->150$. A lot of people get USELESS PRESENTS.
DID ANYBODY get as present a guitar, or another instrument? IS IT REBATE PERIOD IN USA?
It's rebate period, I purchased a Blue Ray player.
I was in a gigantic electrostore and bought mmyself 10 BLUE RAY DISCS a Blue-Ray DVD player was included, 200$. (without dvd's: same price).
Are guitars in this period cheaper or not?
What price range? For your 12 year old kid, a combo: Squier, 30W amp or an epiphone?
Drums?

Topic: THE DEVIL'S PLAY (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Go electric, distortion, THIS IS HARD ROCK and you can improvise a lot, the rest will follow.
Start in open chord, then A, then E on the highest fret, down to the 5th, to the 7th and back to the 2nd, and open, open, and again open on the 15th fret. Same with the Dchord, go up and down. Use
a lot of licks and riffs.
Since I am working on the lyrics, just a taste, & test: PLEASE GIVE ME CRITICS.
Progression has been made, but to put the chords from down to high and back, they are complicated, I will put them all together, without lyrics.

I didn't take, yes I did take prescribed drugs. I had a 10 night period of no sleep at all, I was with my mother in NZ, sharing 1 room, so afraid to move, and several times I wrote real good lyrics about everything I saw, but lost all.
The FIDDLER SPIDER or THE VIOLIN SPIDER is one of the most lethal spiders, quit small, and I tried to think what a spider should do.
Lena, it is a very catchy tune, some Cat Stevens, some Neil Young, most gitaardocphil (spector) wall of sound. No GIVE ME A STROPHE AND A REFRAIN. I would really appreciate it, even better, use this theme, play it easy and slow, and write about the spider, on the bike in combination or interactive with me. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE
