Russell,
I'm sure you could have left the title as it was. I've seen many of songs that have the same title as other more well known songs! I listened to your song and its pretty good.

Great song Russell! Looked like the video could've been produced a little better or maybe it was my VLC player, not sure which! Everything was a little behind in the video! Not trying to be an ass cause I doubt I could do any better just sayin' it looked a little behind. But other than that I enjoyed watching and listening to your song. It is a great blues song!

This just proves my point that poem's are song's! Any poem can be made into a song if you have a melody to go with it!

A very well written song! I played it and even though I'm not sure of your melody I really like the way it sounded when I played it!

The x does mean mute. So when you see chords like 3x0003  the x is telling you to mute that note. otherwise it would read 300003 if you were playing the A open.

I recently did a look at the membership list and I'd say 90 to 95% of the so called members has never posted anything at all!! I don't know why there even considered members!! I know some think we don't need another section, but some other sites I've been to have an introduction section and some go even further by requiring that you post in there before you can even post in certain other sections like "songwriting". I for one think thats a good idea. It takes away the "lurker" status and lets everyone know who's who.

Thanks guys. I will try that.

Thanks Russell, I'll try those techniques. I've already recorded the acoustic guitar track raw and I think it sounds good as is. I was or am considering using some reverb or something when I record the vocals though and your suggestions help alot. Thanks. I'm going to review your audacity lessons also. I haven't been to your site for awhile, so I'll check there to see if there's anymore lessons to download. Again thanks alot for your help. I'll most likely be asking more questions from time to time till I feel more comfortable with the process of recording.

You sure pop 'em out pretty quick! Whats your secret? Wish I could write 'em that fast!! I get writers block after a while. When that happens I sometimes go back to songs I've written awhile back and haven't done anything with or have'nt finished and rework them. Thats what I did with "Does She Still Love You"! I was stuck so I went through some old stuff, found that song which was pretty much finished, but I kinda reworked it, 'cuz I couldn't remember how it went so I added some chords to the existing ones, worked in a new melody cause I couldn't remember how it went before! Probably made it better than it originally was {but I'll never know now}. Anyway, I'm in the process of recording it now.

Welcome to chordie Coffeefairy47. Glad to have you here.

Wasn't sure if I should start a new topic for this or just ask it here! but since it deals with recording your own songs, I thought this the appropriate place for it. When recording, should you turn down your bass and treble settings on on your monitors and on your guitar,and use equalization later when you go to mix! Or does it matter?
