Re: Minor man (with chords)

I was just messing around trying to play minor chords better when the idea of writing a song using mior chords about a minor man who cheated - just popped in my head ! ( I never cheated!)

Re: Minor man (with chords)

Hey Jim - This sounds great...I've always been a fan of minor chord songs and I like what you have done with this one. Keep 'em coming.

Re: Minor man (with chords)

Hi Jim
I'm rather partial to the minor chords myself to..
They can impart a sort of sadness to a song but not always.

Re: Minor man (with chords)

I have been working on the song that I posted last week - re arranged the lyrics and added (at least what I think is ) a pretty cool intro to the song.   I wish I could sing ( i am really bad) ... but I just love how the music fits.  I am hoping that some of you good guitarists with nice voices can appreciate it.  I am just a beginner at guitar but have always been a songwriter since my college days.  I love the irony of this song b/c   the chords are flavored with minors and it is about the " minor man" . Hope you like it. If you have any suggestions to improve it - i am always open to them.  Loving learning how to play and love this chordie.com - it is the best !
 
Thanks to Mekidsmom and Arkady  for their assistance in getting me to post this the right way!
( and I do  hope I have it right this time!)

Re: Minor man (with chords)

Hi Jim,

I have just given your song another run through as you have amended it. I had diffuculty understanding the intro but with just chords that is usual.

You asked for suggestions and as I like the chorus to be different to the verses I played the chorus as Dm, Am, E7, Am (reversing the first two chords) which worked for me.

Still would like to hear a recording though to know how you intended it to be (and I bet your voice is not that bad).

Re: Minor man (with chords)

I am excited to hear how you intend this song to go as well!  Let us know right here when you have a recorded version!  smile  I love the sounds in a minor song!  wink

BTW... I am deleting my post under yours in the other thread - As long as no one else posts under it, you can then delete the other thread if you would like so people can simply find this one!

Re: Minor man (with chords)

I didn't write for it, but the lyrics seem to possibly apply to  Brett Favre talking to his wife after the latest episode with Jenn Sterger ( J.E.T.S. !)
