Re: No Apologies (first one posted)

Hello again johnnyvitalis - another good one here!  I just gave it a howl and a thrash and hear it in my head as very rhythm-driven sort of song.  Am I right?  Also tried it with an (Em, A7, D, Em) and an (Em, A7, C, D, Em)  and an (Em, A7, D, C, Em) on the "I.....been down that road" type lines.  These lines just seem ripe for lots of bold moves between the A7 and the return to Em . . . 


Would love to hear this one - know anybody with recording equipment?!  How go your studio plans?   James

Hi there johnnyvitalis,


I gave "No Apologies" a once over earlier and enjoyed performing it. Like James though I would love to hear you perform it particularly as it has that long G chord and the melody can take infinite turns so the correct way to sing it would be great to know.
