Hey UJB
Awesome pics & vids, Looks and sounds like everybody had a great time, all the way around from the food, the socializing and most importantly sitting back relaxing and playing sum guitar. You got some good players over there, maybe one day I'll be able to join in for a weekend and just kick back.
Good job

Topic: Ride on the Rhythm (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
This is a fictitious song about a guy that lives to dance at the local night clubs (not my cup of tea..er...pint of beer) so I hope the lyrics make sense to all. Recording one day...maybe...probably not. Thanks for taking the time to read, I hope you enjoy the story line. Minor Chord pro glitch in 2nd chorus
Played up tempo in 4/4 time...I think
The F and the G are barred to give a fuller sound .
The middle G in the verse is played without the high E string...don't know the name of the chord.

Re: Global Breakdown (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Hey TF,
I gotta agree 100% with you. It's in man kinds blood to be #1 at whatever we try to achieve. Those in a position of power have a
tendency to abuse it thus we are where we are at. (I'm glad I got no power.....just ask my ex's ) It's a good thing there are exceptions to the rule of power cause if there wasn't... we'd be toast for sure and I'm not one for toast.
Cheers and Thanks for the read and well placed comments

Re: Global Breakdown (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Hi Amy
I really like that you got an honest feel to the lyrics as I wanted to write a lyric in the line of Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction" A lot of truths in that song. Funny how it's probably more relevant today then it was when written.
Thank You again, Muchos Appreciated
PS I've been following the Chordiestock and your Backyard Bash threads very closely trying to man myself up and commit to one the other or both. Dealing with anxiety and the nasty D on my level makes it bigtime tough as I fear I'll somehow mess it up for everyone and that's the last thing I want to do. I'm only 5 hrs 47 minutes driving time away (Thanks Google) with 5 months to go I can make no promises but know in my heart I want to be there to meet and greet a whole mess of great people.
Thank You for the invite, I'm really gonna try
Cheers

Re: Global Breakdown (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Hi Phill,
It feels good to get the moxy to post again
I didn't think you were preaching at all, if we are to get it right it needs to be talked about
I tried to write it by not pointing fingers directly at the causes, but more indirectly.
(Holy war, pounds at the door)......................refers to all religious extremist that believe killing is just.
(The atom bomb is standing in wait.).............reference to the Putin mindset that could end in a bad way for all of us.
2-3 hrs a day got me lots of blisters but it was worth it.
Now I have heavy callouses which is good but now I can't pick my nose. (very well)

Hey Bill,
Compliment accepted, always been a huge fan of Pink Floyd. I hope to give recording it a shot with the Sonar DAW. Who knows, maybe I can figure it and get er done. It plays as an angry style Nirvana tune so I hope your not disappointed should it get done.
Cheers and Thanks

A Canadian law on the books states:
Section 365 a or what could otherwise be called the Halloween Wet Blanket Law that says pretending to be a witch is a punishable offence.
Why it is on the books or what is the punishment for such a heinous breach of the law is beyond me... Only in Canada Eh

Hi Ark,
The world sure seems to be getting more screwed up as the days go by. It makes me wonder what the world will be like for our children's kids. Hopefully better but I wouldn't count on it.
The ME25 came bundled with Sonar 5.5 LE DAW. Maybe I can figure this one out and record something.

Topic: Global Breakdown (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Last October I bought myself a 3rd generation ? Strat. Not American or Mexican but Chinese, one step up from Taiwanese, two steps up from Indonesian and what ever else follows them. I also picked up a Boss ME25 for the effects, hoping to get myself out of the lost passion for music state. Anywho it seems to have worked as I play at least 2-3 hrs a day :-) ...not a problem living by myself.
This is a finished song I don't know how to chord so I am posting it in the poems section. Not happy with the title and will probably change it to Heading for a Breakdown
I hope you enjoy the read.

Breakdown
Rising tide, no place to hide,
The coast lines about to shrink.
Pesticide, slow suicide,
Leeching in the water we need to drink.
There's no doubt, here comes a drought,
Global warming teeters on the brink.
Frac for gas, man what a blast,
Light a fire in your mothers kitchen sink.
Here comes a breakdown
DON'T WANT IT!
We're heading for a Breakdown
DON'T NEED IT! Here comes a breakdown.
DON'T WANT IT, DON'T NEED IT, DON'T WANT IT.
Corporate greed, poor people squeezed,
One percent sets the pace.
Anger breeds, protesters bleed,
Aggression fuels a warm embrace.
Rich men shout, they need a bailout,
They've got to have a saving grace.
If you like my lies, the politician cries,
Then vote for me so I can win the race.
Here comes a breakdown
DON'T WANT IT!
We're heading for a Breakdown
DON'T NEED IT! Here comes a breakdown.
DON'T WANT IT, DON'T NEED IT, DON'T WANT IT.
Holy war, pounds at the door,
Religion keeps fueling the hate.
Civil war, refugees soar,
Genocide is ruling their fate.
Drones fly high, missiles in the skies,
The atom bomb is standing in wait.
When the doomsday clock, ticks the last tock,
The world is gonna blow up in our face.
Here comes a breakdown
DON'T WANT IT!
We're heading for a Breakdown
DON'T NEED IT! Here comes a breakdown.

Re: Bands That Defy Genre (20 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
I posted these links a few years back and thought I'd post them again as it fits the topic. This is a good ole Canadian band from 72 called "Charlee" led by Walter Rossi. If you like bleeding guitar you'll enjoy these tracks. They only did the one album as a band unfortunately but it was a good one. After he changed his style but was still pretty good just not commersial.
Anyways enjoy
