thanks for that James,
I heard aboutn this film end of last year. I am sure Jake Burns from SLF is in it somewhere.

If I dont see it in the cinema I will download it later,lol. Downloading seems like a good idea, I freed up some hard drive space yesterday, i got a lot of space needing filledagain,lol

Ken

sorry Doc.
BUT
It might be a close call with Status quo and the stones. The stones formed in 1962. still three original mambers which is better than status quo achieved since they split in the early 80's then reformed with only two original members.

The rolling stones are noted as the longest band going today, so they must beat quo

Doc,

i can answer this knowing I m answering correctly.

No, it was never a ballad nor suppose to be one. I have an interview with Keef. He played it the way they first wrote it on an acoustic guitar. It was a very bluesy tune, nothing like the electric distorted uitar sound that it got recorded as.
He laughed after he played part of it and said that is how they first done it, then the record company producer produced it to the sound it has.
without the tallents of record producers we would not hear most songs as we hear them. But then I do like to hear the raw original way a song was first thought up of, but without me seeing that interview I would be none the wiser to satisfaction.

Also ( a bit of subject but on the subject of demos), DAvid Bowie's demo of ziggy just proves it can sound so bad yet so good, then give it to the hands of a producer and ye have a hit.

Ken

yeah, i have it and I am in the chordie group too.

Only got two friends on it though,lol, my two cousins.

I only pop into it now and again

Ken

Alice coper still tours though so you can still see him, he isplaying at glasgow secc with motorhead and joan jet and the blackhearts. pmsl, what a combination

Ken

I tried thios song not that long ago and found it pretty difficult to keep the rythum and sing.

i should give it another go i tihnk as it is a superb song for acoustic guitar.

hmmm, I am going to go get the lyrics and chords again just now for this

Ken

Al,
there is also every Alarn song as Mike Peters has proved all sound good on acoustic as well as electric

Ken

hi anto and welcome

if you look at the tab it shows thesix strings. the top string being the high E, as in the thinnest string.
each number denotes what fret is getting played. If you see the number 0 that means the string is played open.
Sometimes on tab it shows a chord too, so if it looks like a chord just hold it down, and tab the notes.

-----o------------
--------2-----------
---1---------3---
-------------------
---------------------
--------------------
so this shows  first fret on the G string getting played, then the high E getting played open the n2nd fret on the B string then 3rd fret on the G string

hope that helps

Ken

thanks doll,
I have heard of that kiss me bum,lol
My mate lives in Cork, in ballycotton, he just built his own house there.

I will look up that web site, cheers

Ken

Nope, cant say I have heard of him O.D ( short for old doll,lol)

Yer probably right about straining my vocal cords, thats why I have this damn nodule growing now,lol.
But at least they can zap me with a laser gun and get rid of it. I still have not heard from these voice training people. Thas been three weeks they have had to get in touch and nothing.

I am going try sticking to one of my books for singing/playing. My folk book, at least I should not strain too much.
I am also going thru all my books to see if I can sing in a different key that feel better to sing. I am trying all songs with capo, without capo, transpoing from C's to G's and G's to C's and C' to D's.
It is annoying my mate a bit I think but he is not the one singing my sangs so tough!!

Ken

p.s. O.D do you know how to say "get it up ye" in gaelic? I know there is a difference with irish and scottish gaelic but either is fine,lol ( and it is not to be aimed at yourself,lol)

yep aerosmith is truelly one of the great survivors of rock for going that long 1967? 68? I have their first album and apart from the production on it, the album is timeless.

also there is

Rolling stones ( early 60's)
ac/dc  ( early - mid 70's)
the who ( early 60's) ( even though there are only two left)
stiff little fingers ( (1977)
rem ( early 80's)
motorhead
red hot chili peppers (early 80's)
eric clapton ( mid 60's)

I agree chat corner can be used for this, or even in bands and artists which is where I have posted a few comments on new albums like The Who's latest and Jake burns latest.

Since chat corner is very busy I wouldthink the more appropriate place would be in bands and artists, but either to me is fine.
I dont see a need for yet another section.
