Re: couple of covers of my songs (9 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thanks everyone
It is cool to have something go from how I play it and sing it to what Jim and Rachel can do.
Jan I told them about your Dolly and Ken comment - they loved it.
With that being said ... I love it just as much when the talented people right here on chordie do covers of my songs as well. I certainly wish I had your abilities to sing and play.
I wish all of my Chordie friends a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, safe, prosperous, and LOVING New Year !

I left you a new msg on soundcloud - but I gotta say here as well --- this is bloody brilliant - so many things going on in this song - a true masterpiece.
I keep listening to it, and it gets better each time. I truly hope that whilst you are out doing your gigs you are including it in your set - it needs exposure so all can enjoy.
It might be a good idea for you to wear a Santa cap and hold a little mistletoe over Ann's head during the performance Thanks again for making the Holiday more enjoyable !!

Ha hahaha
I said in another post this morning that since the weather is so crappy it'd be a good day to stay in and write a song.
10 minutes later I'm writing one - got sucked into my my own delusion !
Anyway - here is a little cute one that popped in my head. Hope you like it.
[Song]
{T: That ‘Ol Guitar }
[G]Sometimes life can get you down
And [C9] turn your whole world upside down
And [G]everything around you just goes [D]wrong
[G]When melancholy days set in
And [C9] you can’t seem to find a friend
Just [G]grab your ol’ gui[D]tar and write a [G]a song
Chorus
[G]Oh find your groove on every fret
[C]Move it up and down that neck
[G]Tap your foot to find that perfect [D]beat
Oh [G]hit that baseline with your thumb,
[C] Pick those strings and make ‘em hum
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that sound so[G]sweet
[G]Seems that days slip by so fast
And [C9] nothing good seems to last
it’s [G]hard to keep a smile upon your [D]face
[G]well don’t you worry, have no fears
with[C9]cowboy chords and a couple beers
that [G] ol’ guitar will [D]be your saving [G]grace
Chorus 2x
except in second time through the chorus to end it .....
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that sound so[G]sweet
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that [C]sound so[G]sweet
slow it down......
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that [C] sound so[G]sweet

That is great guitar playing.
So simple, yet so complex.
Love the 12-string sound.
Thanks for sharing Badeye - on this lousy snow stormy day.
Good day to sit inside and play and maybe write a song.
Thanks for sharing

Yep, when I saw that set up with the HH I knew that was the one I wanted.
Ironically - I haven't even played a note yet as I have been so busy with basketball games ( I coach a high school team) . I'm looking forward to Christmas break tomy be getting some time in to play around with it. I am using a Fender Frontman Amp so it should sound decent.
Thanks for the comments from all. They only drawback was that it did not come with a bread machine. JJJ I have many more buys before I can come in to your level !! You are the guitar NGD King for sure!

Does that make the bread machine a "mobile APP " ?
Nice guitar !
I have an Ibanez that is almost identical except I only have two knobs and yours has 4
and instead of Humbuckers, I have two double coil pick ups.

Re: Bassists? (19 replies, posted in Electric)
Jeepers,
no one answered my question - is bass harder or easier to play than a six string acoustic ?
I have never touched a bass, so I have no idea what it's like to play one, although when I fish I usually catch a lot of bass!
I would appreciate a bit of input from one of you chordians that know stuff about this !
Thanks
Jim

are they harder to play than a six string acoustic ?

Thanks Bill
here is a soundcloud version I did quickly this morning .
It's not great ( aka my poor singing and playing) but it will give a bit of direction to others as to how I envision it if they want to do a cover.

I hope this qualifies as my Christmas card and message to all my chordie friends.
Merry Christmas all !
