I don't know the song but I looked and I could not find any reference to Feddy singing a song titled In My Mind. Are you sure that's the title and Freddy's the singer?

I'd start with some of the song books. Many are just the ticket for you. Just look through and find ones that have the songs that fit what you are looking for.

Good Luck.

Hey James - Vocals are much better. My instructor told me it's better (especially when you first start out) to seperate the vocals and guitar and kind of simple things out (good application of the KISS principle) and I believe you were playing and singing which is very tough. This Software I just got is supposed to handle that but I haven't figured it out yet...but soon. All in all good job can't wait for the next one!

Already posted-  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> I need to get a microphone that works with this SW package I got so I can record. But I will record soon.

Hey Roger - Glad you like it. I switched up how I wrote this one just to see if it changes anything. I wrote the music first this time with the song idea and then I came up with the lyrics. I didn't see any differences in how the song came out in the end but it was bit tougher fitting the lyrics to the music than the other way around. It could be just me though.

Lordy, I hope not; I statred when I was over 40. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_eek.gif" border=0 alt="Shocked">

My fingers are slower than Roger's but it sounded great to me. Would love to hear it.

Hey Badeye,

Great song - only change I would suggest would be changing from a B7 to an E7 on the last line of the chorus. I think it transitions to to next verse but it is you song to tinker with and good the way it is as well.

thanks,

Jeff/Jets

Thanks James. I was going to add a little variety to the music but  I really like the chord sequence, kind of lazy and sleepy which is just like how I feel right after I get done with a tough hike. So what I do in the song is I get a little funky with the singing to kind of spice it up but still keep it kind of sleepy. My wife says it sounds kind of Michael Franks like but I don't think it so. His stuff is written for the keyboard and pretty tough to play on the guitar. In this song the toughest part for me is when I switch from Fmaj7 to Cm, it's a little tricky but helps me because I have a tough time switching to barred chords anyway. Oh yeah, I didn't put it in the song because I wasn't sure exactly how I was going to play it at first but I repeat the A6, Cmaj7, Fmaj7, Cm after every line, just the music that is, but I sing the chorus straight through. I also echo the "miles and miles" part when I repeat the music which is the only execption if you know what I mean. When I went back to edit and add it it messed up the song a bit so I didn't save my changes. I will be playing that song after my first day hike this year but not sure when that will come. Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it. I will record it soon too I promise but like I said to Steve I've got to figure out the s/w first.
