Thanks Daddycool,

I inadvertantly put a full stop at the end of the link to MySpace which prevented it from working and I have now corrected it.

Thanks again,

Roger

Hi DJL,

I just checked and your songbook is there. It is at the top of the list and will remain so until someone else publishes theirs.

This is a perfect example of why resurrecting an old post, or hijacking a recent one is a bad idea.

Crevs resurrected Bubles thread with a related question but has recieved only one answer for his troubles. The other three later answers are directed at the original question, whereas a new new thread would have brought Crevs several replies I am sure.

I would also hazard a guess that at least one of the 3 recent respondents and others that have read this thread thought that I was going off my trolly replying about the chord of D when the original question was about the chord of C as they had not spotted Crevs query. If the did they are wrong - I went of my trolly years ago .

So the moral of this tale is that if you have a question start your own topic or risk being ignored.

Hi Headcase,

This is just an idea and may be completely wrong but are your guitar straps keeping both guitars at the same height on your body? The change in angle of your grip playing a guitar at a different height could be making your hand ache.

Hi dlance and welcome to Chordie,

If the songs are your own compositions you can post them in the Songwriting section and James's 'Sticky' titled 'How To Post Original Song to Songwiting Forum' at the start of that section explains how to use Chorpro on Chordie.

If however the songs are not yours they will be covered by copyright and you cannot post them on Chordie for legal reasons. Pleae read my 'Sticky' titled 'Posting of Songs' at the start of this section.

Hi Kenny,

Nice song with a happy ending. I hope you soon get to grips with your BR-600 so we can again hear your recordings.

Great stuff,

Roger

Hi Jeff,

Memories and reminiscing are wonderful medicine so I enjoyed playing this song. Mind you I did alter 'Me and my dogs...' to 'Me and my cats...' so the song was more apt for me .

Thanks,

Roger

Hi Crevs,

Being a player that uses a lot of upstrokes in my rhythm I just had to pick up a guitar to check out your comment. As long as the beat strokes of whatever you are playing are downwards and the upstrokes are a 'fill in' I see, well hear, no problem. Perhaps you are playing the upstroke too loud whereas the empasis should be on the beat (down) stroke.

You mentioned the D chord and I assume you mean the open D (XX0232) which is only played on 4 strings having D as the bass note therefore the upstroke is played on the same 4 strings The notes of the D chord are D, A and F# so playing the E string will give you a different chord and sound odd.

I hope that helps,

Roger

Hi Phill and Russ,

I have recently had (and still have for that matter) one or two problems that have stopped me from being on-line quite so often. Although I have visited Chordie most days I have not been able to post comments, however I am healthy and happy and I getting other matters sorted.

I have no new songs ready yet but my Valentive offering is close to completion.

Thank you for you thoughts,

Roger

You could also play B7 as xx4445 which is easier than the x21202 if you have large fingers and narrow spaced strings.

The battery in my Fender lasts about a year and I do not find it a drawback, however for peace of mind I do always carry a spare in my guitar case.
