Re: Strum Patterns (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I have to agree with Zurf here,
I nearly pulled my hair out trying to learn John Denvers, "This Old Guitar"
Asked on the Forum, and Mr Guppy here discovered it did have the wrong chords in parts.
As to strumming, i have always found the best way if your in real
difficulty, is to strum along to the tune/song its self.

Hi cheapskate Bonedaddy,
I hope you understand, I was jesting about my brothers writings! Yes! he does keep most in a safe, which i can never understand either. My family
history is known to most.
He was here some time ago today, played a song that brought tears to my eyes. It was simply based on something he heard a woman say, On a tv programme, after her young Son was killed at war. Really beautiful. I have suggested he send it to her! But He never does anything with them.
which is a shame..
I have said here before" i have no skeletons in my
cubbards, buried them all outside lol. Why? because they only bought Cheap plonk!
Long W/E here, trying to decide what to do.
Mind your liver now! or it will be only good with Onions Mash and Gravy!

to do this.
Lovely sound. My own guitar has a lovely sound also. But i did really like His.
So ill maybe settle for one of these. I have been offered a good trade in price
for my own!I Dont really want to part with it.
Difficult choice!!.
Have many happy inspirational hours of playing your new Guitar.

Re: "This House Is No Museum" (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
GoodMorning James,
Welcome back. Did i bust out laughing when i read this! This old doll
locked herself out at 6/45 this morning In my jammies. Freezing cold, putting out recycle bin. Could have done with thermal knickers! could still do with them as the cold went to places id forgottten existed.
Love your song, All houses should have dogs, cats, loads of people visits
and all the things that reflect the characters of the people who live there.
Also one big kitchen table for food and conversation.
I have a print in my kitchen which says "Dull Woman Have Immaculate Homes".
That one lets me off the hook a lot!
Nice song James.

I so enjoyed that link. Talk about keeping it in the family?
She was then a very beautiful girl, and im sure she has aged real good 2.
She probably doesn't stay on Chordie late nights { not like some, not a million miles from here!!
Im starting my swimming now for the winter, so that should
take a wee bit more out of me.. Preparing for the Olympics Ark, you should see

Re: Most lyrical description of a person's beauty (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Zurf,
What a lovely way to describe a great relationship.It must be
wonderful to feel that kind of security with someone..
George Harrrison From the Beatles wrote "Something"In the way she moves"
For his lady Pattie Boyd.
Eric Clapton wrote Wonderful Tonight For, Pattie Boyd also. He was
also married to this lady.
I do remember how beautiful to the eye she was. But she sure must
have had something more then looks!! 2 of the best songs ever written
inspired by Her.
