Guitar chord forum - chordie → Posts by jets60
Hey Roger,
Any chance of posting them on Chordie. My meaning is that there are getting to be a good bunch of us who want to post our songs and chordie is a big reason why we are. Just asking but what do you think? I'm still waiting on Amazon to get me my s/w but I will be sending you stuff once I do for the Myspace page but like Mike says, it on lets you have 4 songs posted.
Thanks,
Jeff/jets
Gainesville, VA but it's kind of considered suburban Washington, DC now. I guess it's about 3 or 4 years since I've started playing but it feels like longer. I wish I had started when I was a kid but I finally saw the light.
Hey Thanks James - I remember when I first heard "Sitting" (1972 or 3? not sure) and now that I can play <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
Thanks
Hey James - I'm thinking that one's from the heart. Was playing it as fast as I could and still get the lyrics out. Fun song
Thanks Badeye, glad you like it. It's a safe bet I'll post more songs. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
Cheers,
Jeff/Jets
okay here goes:
intro is - <b>G C/G G C/G</b>
verse is - <b>G Am; D G; Em Asus4 A; C D</b>
Chorus is - <b>G ; Am ; G/B C D; Am Dsus4 D; G</b>
Key change is 1/2 step up on the last verse and chorus...good luck

Great song Roger. I need to go check it out on the myspace link.
Okay this started out as being a song about my wife and how she never finishes jobs she starts on her extreemly long weekend list of chores. But I got the idea of a woman who was like that with relationships, some of whom I've known in the past, and I thought of writing it from a guy still thinking she would come back...anyway that's the idea. So here's the song; I play it with pretty slow tempo (60ish beats per min) but fit it to your own style as you like. I also finger pick the verses and strum the chorus but play as you like.
I found the bass tab here: <a href="http://www.rockmagic.net/guitar-tabs/eric-clapton-cream/the_shape_youre_in.btab" target="_blank">The Shape You're In</a> The Chords follow the same pattern which are <b>E A D G</b>. Good Luck
The best is to do both in my opinion. The computer can duplicate the learning environment you get working with a live instructor but the instructor can't have 24 hour access to you so I say why not do both.

He's a young kid with a great sound. His song <b>New Shoes </b>has a great beat and would just put you in a good mood even on your worse day. Check him out: <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=35929169" target="_blank">Paolo Nutini</a>
Hey Roger,
Shoot me a message on my myspace page. I recorded a crappy, screwed up version of the first 2 verses and chorus of Sleep Mystery but you'll get the idea of how the chords fit. My first wack a recording so its a nervous, screwed up stinking .wav file. I need to get a good music suite to record better. Even so you'll get the idea and I really do like the song. My wife says it sounds better slower but I think it's okay fast too. I couldn't see how to attach it to the myspace message system so shoot me your email if you can.
Cheers,
Jeff/jets
Hey James,
Nice - I tried the <b>A</b> a few diferent ways (<b>Am7</b>, <b>Asus</b>, <b>A7</b>...) and really each sounds good but different. My fav was going from <b>A</b> like your wrote it to an <b>Asus</b> or the other way around but it's good with just the <b>A</b> standing by itself as well.
Okay - If you have read any of my posts you may already know that I'm a big Alison Krauss & Union Station Fan. Just to explain why, every member of the band is just a great musician. I'm a big Ron Block fan just because he writes the best (IMHO) but <a href="http://music.yahoo.com/release/40734245" target="_blank">Jerry Douglas</a> is just something else with his playing. He plays the Dobro and he can pretty much make it do anything you can think of. So he has a new CD out and I highly recommend you check it out just because it is a decadent feast for your ears. But don't take my word for it listen for yourself and see. Oh yeah, listening to him live is even better....I'll shut up now. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> <img src="index.php?t=getfile&id=94&private=0" border=0 alt="index.php?t=getfile&id=94&private=0">
I think any chordie member can figure out where this comes from. Hope you like it. j
Play Asus like x00230
Thats okay...if it takes 6.5 to tell then I'll not push it any further. I'm still waiting for my son to check it out...
Yep, all those seventeenish girls are somewhere in there mid fifties now. At least in my case...but not in my mind. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
Thanks James. It was fun to write and is fun to play and sing.
Okay, this didn't happen to me but I do remember summer camps and older teenage counslers and stuff like that so I guess it could have happened.
I like it James - I can see a lot of jamming in between the verses. Clever lyrics as well.
Thanks - I can see that - I tried to make sure the story part was different from what we wrote way back in the day. BTW Aphrodite is really great on your myspace. Well done.
So I just wrote "Weathered" and it got me to thinking way back before I even thought of picking up a guitar. My son Tim was having a bad time and ....I'll let the song tell it:
Here's my go:
<b>And you know you drive me crazy
which is why you do what you do
Mrs Heartake please dont stop it
Cause I cant get enough of you</b>
Take it and run... <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
My idea is the the verses are sung about her and the chorus is sung to her. What do you think?
Okay when I read your song and played it I didn't get it mainly because I wasn't singing your lyrics like you do. I liked your myspace version although I'm sure it can be cleaned up a bit. All in all though not bad.
