I like many others can relate to playing a lot of songs and not much of anything all the way through . It is something I have recently started to address. Having spent around two years playing lots of short versions of lots of things I think that it has helped my chord arsenal. However,I strongly agree with most as a guitar player it's nice to pick a guitar up and play a song from start to Finish for friends to sing along.
It is something which just this week I have started to do. My problem now is which songs to play. In summary though always remember you play for pleasure so long as you enjoy what your doing it's got to be ok.

Any further songs willingly accepted

Already got THE BOXER<EVERY ROSE

Try looking at HERE IN  MY HEART BY OCEAN COLOUR SCENE, Its a nice easy chord progression moreover, will sound nice either strummed or simple finger picking. My songbook the vincester up loaded on 6th september will give you the chords they are the same throughout  all the verses. take care

Hello and Welcome,

I have played with alot of folks that have had rhythm problems and some people have a built in metronome and tap their foot bounce their knee,shake their head or some other way to keep the beat.
  I've found it is easier to help people in 4/4 time to get them to count in beats of 4 or if you have a strum pattern use your voice to say down and down or down,and down,up,down.Or maybe bass,strum,bass ,strum it will come and there are alot of tricks to use.All your ands have no strums and the downs are all on the beat.Start slow and work yourself into a pattern.

thanks made a differance already.cheers vincester

Hey vincester! Welcome to Chordie, cool

I love helping people prove others wrong, let's see what we've got -

King of the Road  -  fair swings/shuffles. http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … 66049.html

Lots of versions here and you don't need to change key to make it work!

"When I'm 64" - sort of swings/marches in a similar way.

"Daniel" Elton Jim - swings/flows.

I think all these are good because they "Swing" around a strong beat which might help you break into more backbeat and rock - or just suit your style!!!

Good luck, cool

TRUE:
SCHOOL REPORT FOR MUSIC: VINCENT IS NOT MUSICALLY MINDED.(many years ago)

However,I beleive I am tone deaf ! I set about trying to learn the Guitar,I love it but struggle on the rythem side of things. I feel I have a natural swing rythem which dosnt suite many songs.
Can anyone recommend songs that go with a swing beat.

Stuff I like to play: Ocean Colour Scene, Lenord Cohen, Simon & Art Garfunkel, although have diverse taste in music so would try playing most things. Chords not to difficult I would class myself as intermediate. Any suggestion will be gratefully accepted.
