hi mojo, welcome to chordie.
nice song. i found the only way i could get the chords to fit was as a waltz. i particularly like the way you go to Em for the chorus, i guess that would put the song into the key of G? the Cminor7th threw me at the start.
try and get your head around chopro to make it "all purdy like" it's a bit of a fiddle to start but when you get into it, it will come naturally.
very nice, keep em coming

OK Bill with two L's
glad we sorted that one out
i'm 63 and a semi recluse. my wife says i desert her most nights of the week to sit here looking at my PC (not porn 
) so she says she's a recluse 
anyway i'd rather sit here than watch her "reality TV" or the soaps! 
anyway, i hope we're friends now?

hang on a minute there Bill, i was not criticizing just trying to be humorous. i love piano/keyboards and was trying or failing to support your point, eg; piano is not strummed yet it has strings, and the strings are thumped but is not a drum!!!! does it matter? it makes music by playing the strings and (unless it's me playing it) very nice music too.
i'm sorry if my post came over as me criticizing your post, it was not meant that way.
i guess no-one really gets my sense of humour. maybe it's me that needs to bow out
the clue is the name on the tin....CHORDIE... if it plays chords....
if the site was called "strummie" then that might be a different matter
just my take on it
hi joey,
my condolences. just to say that i attended a friends funeral two weeks ago, and after the sadness, the tears and the interment, we all went out and celebrated his life, though i cant imagine how i'd feel if it was my wife.
regards phill
sweet playing song...i like it.

i tend to write a lot of "songs" that don't make it past the first verse. so i keep them in what i call my "slush pile" and when i'm stuck for a line or verse or chord sequence i check out my slush pile. not that i'm saying this song is no good...keep working on it and you'll get there

hi grah, i've got a peavy bandit 112 which i've had since noah got sea sick! and i have to say it's durable (it has to be with all the humping into backs of vans and cars) so if the line 6 is as good then you're onto a winner.
hi grah, terrific piece, i gave it a quick strum, so what i sang maybe totally different from what you have in mind, but when i got to the part; "with eloquence and pride" i exchanged your D for Em. only a thought and i may be way off...but i thought i'd mention it.

i use bright orange, red, yellow and even white but during battlefield conditions (on stage with the lights dim) you cant even find your bum with both hands....well i cant anyway! it's lucky my FX pedals have lights sometimes.
welcome to the UK, yes i heard about the jumbo, it got as far as cornwall then they found there was a fault with the landing gear!
you must have brought the weather with you as it's a lot warmer today than yesterday! so i hope you're staying a while? LOL
i had an eko 12 string back in the 70's. it was a thin body but had a lovely sound but very quiet. i traded it in for a bass guitar so i could join a band that happened to want a bassist. i traded that in for a wilson bass which i still have. i kept breaking the G string on the eko, then i found out it's a common fault with 12 stringers....anyone know why that is?
FYO, brian may used/uses old sixpenny bits as pics. i remember him on some programme asking for any that happened to be hanging around. don't know if he got any...
i'm in love. as it's an ibanez, it probably sounds as good as it looks....a million dollars and costs pretty close to that too, i bet!
very nice rog, but the pic's a bit blunt?
i got a similar one for christmas called Hudl 2, it's an 8 inch screen. the guy in the shop said it was as good as an i-pad with the added advantage that the aps are free! it's working great so far, but you don't get the blue lines under links, still working on that one. good otherwise
hi zorrotm, i had a quick look through youtube and there are a shed full of songs called "my heart belongs to you" by various artists. you will have to give more of a clue like a link to the version you want. sorry phill
more sad news, one of the most distinctive voices of recent times, Joe Cocker, passed away (i think) today aged 70. he made his name with "help from my friends" and more recently "up where we belong"
RIP Joe
anyone notice he's a lefty?
your wish is my command
lovely words and sentiments. thanks for sharing
phill
this is a new track and as it says, it's about a bounty hunter. you can find it at this address;
nice one jim, i like story songs. the weathers taking a turn for the worse here too....rain, wind and more rain
Fair point, Ed, bridges and chorus's serve the same end, to break up and give the song a counterpoint. Listening to a new song for the first time, all you remember after is the hook or chorus. The hook can just as easily be a riff as on wonderful tonight or Something from the Beatles, written interestingly about the same lady. More,interestingly both are riff led and contain a great bridge.
My favourite is V2. Jim's post said rock and roll, so I went that way first. When I played it on piano later I realised the slower blues version suited the song (in my opinion) better. I could be wrong, give your opinions please.
