Hi Big welcome to chordie

And if you really are a proffesional then I am sure people will be glad you are here to advise.

I never read all your post though as it was all crammed together and made it harder to read, but if you go back and edit it and break it up into paragraphs etc then it would be more pleasing to the eye if ye know what I mean.

I did read the first part though about learning on an electric first then trying to play on an acoustic, couldnt agree more.

My mate is still trying to play an acoustic after a year because he doesnt spend the time on his acoustic, only his electric. He is great on the electric but like you said, his fingers just are not strong enough to play the proper notes. But this is not a bad thing,  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">  it makes me sound better than him sometimes.

cheers

Ken

lol, hello hypewood and welcome to chordie and the forum.

Like roger says it is not possible to post a song straight on to chordie as it is a search engine,

Chordie gets the songs from other sites and displays them on the site.

But, if you have found a song that is not on the net and you want it on chordie, you would have to go to guitar.com ogla etc ( any other song/lyrics/chords site) and submit the song on there. Once it is on there you can come in chordie and throught the resouces you can direct that song onto chordie.

hope that helps

hi pressure and welcome

When it shows you have to play 6 notes and you think you need 6 fingers, you dont really need to have all those fingers.

this is when you barr the chord, you use your index finger to hold down all the strings then you other fingers go where instructed.

so really you could only be using 3 fingers or even 2 to play the chord that has every string held down

if you are like me and you are rubbish at doing this then there are cheats around this, but it will not make the exact sound of the chord.

i.e. F# is

2

4

4

3

2

2

where the 2's are indicating the 2nd fret, your index finger will be holding them down. your ring finger on the 4th fret of the A string, your pinky on the 4th fret of the D string and middle finger on 3rd fret of the G string.

I cannot play it like this so I play F# like this

x  ---- not playing the E

4    -----ring finger

4    ------pinky

3    --------middle

2   --------index

2   --------index

hope this helps

nice lyrics james.

I am not really into waltzy things  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">  but in my head the tune i had made quite a good song.

Ken

stumped me with that question ,

But I would say try both, see what sounds better after you do something and put it on cd.

Problem with guitar pro3 is you cannot mix it while recording it, like fading in and out etc( or not that I have worked out yet)

Try both.

Let us know what is best, or what you think is best. Doesnt have to be a full song, just do a 30 second sample from different ways

Hi johnny

I record onto my pc using a program called guitar pro 3.

it is a 32 track studio.

I have a quite crappy microphone so i get quite crappy quality recordings.

If using an electric guitar, you can plug yer guitar into effects then straight into your computer and you should get a good enough recording.

Ken

im sure everyone read it ok, well, unless they cannot speak or read english, if they were from a far eastern country and never had english lessons then they might not have understood that.  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

alex,

superb playing there.

I will admit, I dont listen to this sort of guitar playing but I love watching someone play it. My mates wee brother plays classical and is very good.

Something I dont think I will ever learn to play.

well done

10/10

Ken

yeah well done roger,

completely different from my version, yet the same song.

I now want an electric guitar with distortion and flange and chorus effects and an 18 piece drum kit and redo the whole song again  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">   <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

I bet I could turn it into a heavy rock song.

But I wont!!

Ken

very good question!!!!

hmm, hard to decide on just now, but I tihnk there must be a solo or three from the likes of

angus young,eddie van halen, randy rhodes, yngvie malmsteen guy, stevie ray something, and a lot of blues solos.

i will come back to you on this one.

but one of my favourites would have to be the solo on Lynard skynard's "freebird"
