Re: I've been thinkin (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Thanks for the Welcome Dino and Nela.
I think I should clear something up about my playing... (wind starts to blow) hehehe.
I have been playin a long time closed up in my Room... And after some work I can get my ears to pick out something to either add to a song or play along... But I'm sure not one of those people that can hear something and just play it. I have to mess around for awhile and work out what I think sounds right... Sometime it happens..Sometimes It don't.. But if I hear stuff I like and it speaks to me.. well I don't mind messin with it for a LONG time... Yup I'm Hardheaded.
But I love just playin... So the trial and May Errors don't bother me much.
Might have ta soundproof my Room ta keep the Girls from yellin...BUT DATS LIFE !!!! LOL.
Thanks again Folks

Re: A little scary glimpse into my brain (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I can understand all of this.
I have 2 daughters 19 and 16. And my Wife's favorite time of year was Christmas she just loved it..stressed her and us out with all the stuff to get done but she loved it. Well She passed away in the fall of 2009 after a long painfull eight year battle that was hard on her and for us to watch . One of the last things she did was to decorate our christmas tree.. Well THAT tree is STILL up just as she left it...No the girls and I haven't and will not ever touch it. So in june if you walk in my house guess what?... Yup you gonna see a dang fully decked out Christmas tree just as she left it sittin in our livingroom.
Don't think Christmas will ever be the same with me.
But I'm ain't touchin that dang tree... I don't care how many crazy looks I get in June..hehehe
Hang in there folks we will get thru it.

Thanks Everyone for the Welcome.
I know I'll learn from all you folks.. And I guess I'll have to look in to the recording section here if I'm going to be of any help to anyone.. cause like I said above, I can't tell you what I'm playin or doing,I would have to show you. I'll go read in there and try to get a Idea what would be the best thing for me. recording tracks sounds like fun.
Again thanks for you Replies.

Topic: I've been thinkin (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
( when ya hear that it's a good time to RUN)
Anyways hehee. You Folks Accepted me few days ago and well I've been playin guitar for a whole lot of years. Started when I was 11 and now my AARP Butt is 51. I'm self tought...Play by myself...never played much in public.. But I pick up a guitar just about everyday.. Cause no matter how tough a day had smacked me in the face. Half a hour with a guitar can just drain a bad day away. I've bounced around the site and it sure looks like a place I'll be checkin out a lot.
So I just thought I'd stop in and YELL... HEY !!!!
The first thing I'll share with you is this... I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M PLAYIN !!!!! LOL.
Yup been playin 40 years and don't know the names of a third of the chords I play.
Freaky Huh.... and notes... well I hit um.. but don't know um... and needless to say I can't read music... But I'm Hardheaded... If I hear something I like I'll work at it until I can play it. Then another funny thing happens.. A month later I'll have to learn it again....CAUSE I'M FIDDY ONE and forgot what the heck I did. GAWD !!!!!
I'll leave ya with the only thing I can say about me on the plus side.
I've got a pretty good ear.. And i know my way around a guitar. I have a blast playin along with my CD's and DVD's...And I think the world is a better place with me just sittin in my Man Room Playin ontop of other folks music just hopin I don't get kilt for stickin in all kinds of runs and licks where they don't belong... BUT HEY.. I'm havin fun and DA HECK WITH IT !!!! hahahaa.
If Clapton could hear what I've done to his songs.... LAWD.... My only hope would be to outrun him... He is like 60 now right?.. I could take um. hehehehehe.
Anyways... HI !!!...
If I get to long winded in here.
Just say CC shut up and go to your room.
Have a Nice day Folks.
