Thanks very much! I know what you mean about expressions and stuff! haha.
Lyrics are:

Light ash scours ‘cross the sea,
Makes the water taste salty
Dunes of peach are out of reach
A long way is my est’ry

On the horizon, dawn has broken
The sun it smiles, a rosso corsa
Strange shapes move and tessalate
I have found my est’ry

I wrote a song for you
Because you asked me to
I wrote a song for you
To say I love you
I wrote a song for you
To hear when I miss you
I wrote a song for you

Ice bergs dwell from deep within
The rippling tide which covers skin
Venus smiles a cheeky grin
I am with my est-ry

(chorus)

Tea rose plateaus sink and rise
Thoughts of castles in the mind
Roots of trees become entwined
I am with my est-ry

(chorus)

(phrases such as 'light ash' and 'tea rose' and 'rosso corsa' are shades of colours by the way )

Hi all,
Since posting my first song youtube link a week or so ago, I've done another attempt of it to people can hopefully hear the vocals a little more (i'm not using a mic and it was recorded on my web cam, so it was quite hard to do).

Anyway, comments would be more than appreciated on my hopefully improved version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puYlAd8M59I

Thank you

Hi all,
My first (very cheesy, written for my fiance) song is on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puYlAd8M59I

I'd be very appreciative of any comments, to see what people think.

Thank you

This is known as the 'action' of the guitar - in your case, it has a high action. There's normally a truss rod that runs down the neck, which can be turned via an allen key to lower the action. you can normally access it at the top of the neck, by the head of the guitar

Thank you for all your kind comments - very encouraging and appreciated, means a lot to me! Thank you

Play around! Remember that if you're playing in Aminor, you can also play in Cmajor too, and combine the two scales

Hi all,
Are there any other guitarists from Scarborough who'd like to have someone to jam with/maybe gig?

I'd love to get some proper chords for The War Drags on, by Donovan. Beautiful song!

I've been playing guitar for a little while but never really bothered writing any songs until my fiance nagged that I've never written one for her. So, I bashed one up and here's the result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEtWZq84rrM

Feedback greatly appreciated!
