p.s. having read jimmy's post below, i have 3 boys and just 1 girl (and the wife) but from the moment gemma (my daughter) was born we boys had no chance. GIRL POWER!

i had to post a second time on this one.

my fav bob dylan has to be "tweeter and the monkey man" from the travelling wilberys.

as for others not quite hitting the notes; i've often had to accompany punters that want to come up and give a song, very often singing each verse in a different key.

i had one guy that sounded exactly like tom jones, pitch perfect, beautiful tonal quality, but he had no idea of timing so kept coming in before the beat or changing the rhythm midway through a verse, totally oblivious to what he was doing. he came 2nd in a tom jones sound alike competition...if he could keep time he might have won...who knows?

the 2nd post in this thread was deleted, it was totally off topic and the poster was waiting for an opportunity to enter spam. i can wait no more....banned and gone.

hi the pathetics, sorry no one  has replied to your query.

if you want to get guitar effects (FX) the best way to go is an FX pedal such as Boss ME range. i have an ME 50 which gives me all the FX i need with built in phaze, chorus, many different grades of distortion or fuzz, reverb and echo. i can only suggest that you go to your nearest music shop and try a few out, go through all the different stages and decide if it's what you want.

another way to go would be "stomp box" with these you can decide what you want and buy just what you require, eg just fuzz, or you can add a chorus pedal and or compressor, echo the list is almost endless. but try them first if you can, don't go by other people playing them cos they can always make them sound wonderful but when you get them home they may not sound so good.

hi brian and welcome to the forums. i was also using chordie for quite a while till i found that i could hang out here. even so, during my rock years in the 70's you DJ's were the enemy as you were taking our gigs from us, but were all friends now

your real name brian sidwell sounds very familiar to me where did you/do you ply (your evil) trade?

there was no point moving the spam to mods so i just deleted.

as an aside, the rapier in TF's pic was the one that got me drooling at a shop window back in the 60's. i must have been around 12 at the time and after it had been sold i told my mother about it and she said she'd gone in to price it for me but they wanted a whole 12 pounds! which i guess was a lot of money in those days...so say lavvie. i've got a wilson bass though, and still play it. it's previous owner must have been one of those heavy metal guys with the big cross hanging round his neck as the ruts are still there...ha, ha

ed, that's brilliant, and i mean that. the metre is perfect, the metaphors run sweet, and i hate to say it...it's all the things that my poem isnt. i tried to wax lyrical but having read yours there is still a ton of work to do on it.

so good, i could visualise my-self shooting the rapids then heading west on one of those old western trains.

thanks for sharing.

thanks jim, deep answer my friend. i never thought of all the people that have come and gone from my life. i worked with a guy only for a year or two that had worked in the factory for  50 years from when he left school. he was made to retire though he didn't want to, and kept saying that if needed he would drop everything and be back to help if needed. the place carried on without him much to his surprize and he died within a year. after that i found a slogan;

                                                                 work to live. don't live to work.

my thoughts and love go with you and your wife my friend

i use ableton as a DAW, each time i go to record a new track i have to go to the track input and select where the sound is coming from eg mic or your interface and also which inputs they are coming from eg 1- 2. 3-4 etc. i think it should be the same or similar in reaper or audacity. give it a try unless you've already tried and failed in which case....sorry

thanks grah, slate does fit better so i've changed it. now i'm not happy with the last line....

thanks bill as grah said above; change blackboard to slate.

to me this was so depressing with all the death references, so i had to work at it to get reborn in there. fact is; i don't like the last line on both of the last two verses...any suggestions?

i like the last line a lot...lol

2 semi-religious poems in a day, i guess it is sunday!  this one sounds like a rock song that hasn't yet got rocking?

no, sorry bill the guitar is on a stand as used by steve howe. looks like they're well into what their playing though?
