Congrats !
I am going to look at a Jay Turser Hollowbody today JT 136 I am getting it for $110 through a private sale - guy says he has too many guitars ( go figure!) 
I am hoping it is as in good shape as the seller has said - if so I think its a good deal .
Any chordians play this and know it ?
I also agree with Beamer about the strats with the ashtray look. I was going to buy one until i ran into that look and said nope !
Any way - very nice guitar - happy New Year

I'm looking at getting a hollow body guitar. I played a Ibanez at Guitar center - it sounded great - but then online it said it never stays in tune. Epiphone played nice as well. Does anybody have any suggestions. Looking in $ 600 range

Baha ....:) I was just reading all the posts about chordiestock 2015...... sounds like the first two were a blast !
I can kind of picture this in my mind - reminds me of the post I put out about my song The Sun Is Burning Out, that had the video of all those singers sitting around the kitchen table jamming - but some how on a bigger scale.
How many have attended in the past ?
Where is # 3 being held ?
Anybody got a couple of pictures from past highlights?
It seems like it's truly a music family global event .

Re: The Sun Is Burning Out ( Song tribute to Townes Van Zandt) (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I took the soundcloud link of me playing and (almost) singing off the original post as I want to re-do the music using the chords as shown now. It makes a world of difference and makes the song sooo much better. I'll get it done this weekend and re -post the song with lyric and chord changes. I'm just a rookie - lesson learned - don't post stuff until you get it right , and it takes a lot of work to get it right !!!!!! All you "chordians - have a great week end ! Live like the Sun IS Burning Out !!!!

Nice work man !
You mentioned www.guitarfettish.com - I went there -- some of their guitars look great, and like all sellers - the descriptions sound great as well. . I was especially looking at the hollowbody guitars. Do you have any experience or knowledge regarding the quality of the Xaviere guitars they sell ?

Re: The Sun Is Burning Out ( Song tribute to Townes Van Zandt) (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you . I tweaked it a bit today ( had some time because of winter storm) - nothing major - couple of lyric touch ups and switched chords to Em, B7, and A- easier for me to play and I think sounds a lot better..
I am still in awe of those old time guys how they used to collaborate over a table with some drink, smoke, guitars and friends. So cool.

[c: O.K. – this is a whole story – bear with me
It started by me watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUML2yWVn8c showing Steve Earl, Rodney Crowell, Guy and Susanna Clark having a blast jamming – singing stay all night. I was so enthralled – thinking that it was so cool – I wish I could have been there at that table – drinking and jamming.
Well then I was reading about Townes Van Zandt’s life – a pretty sad story for a good musician. That’s when I came across this –video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb7LVzx_twU – Guy Clark talking about Van Zandt’s life. The whole story is freaking funny about nailing the door shut……. But the inspiration came to me at the 3:40 mark of this video. You have to watch the video to really get my song. I hope you enjoy the videos and like my song.
The Sun Is Burning Out ( Tribute to Townes Van Zandt) Jim Kenyon
[Em] When he was just a little boy, he was taught to follow rules
He combed his hair n’ brushed his teeth
[B7 ] he even shined his shoes
He [Em] always said “whythank you m’aam”, n' went to[Am] church every week
He [Em] learned thatwhen his grampa’s talkin’, he[B7]better wait his turn to [Em]speak
[Em]Heopened doorsfor the ladies , n’ bowed his head for prayer
He proudly said pledge allegiance
[B7] And made sure he didn’tswear
Oh he [Em] said graceat the dinner table , n’ he [Am]never, never waslate
He [Em] kept his elbows off the tableand he [B7]always sat up real [Em] straight
(Instrumental stuff)[Am][Em][Am] [B7] [Am][Em]
[Em] Hestudied hard and got good grades, but one day at his school
The teacher told him that the sun’s burning out
[B7] And he felt just like a fool
And [Em] from that moment in his life, ya see [Am]everything got changed
well [Em]somethingsnapped inside his head, [B7] and thoserules were broken [Em] chains
[B7]somethingsnapped inside his head,and thoserules were broken [Em] chains
And he sang… ( play faster !)
[Em] Excuse meteacherdid I hear you say
That the sun isburning [B7] out?
Well don’t expect me to live that way
I’m getting wasted, without a [Em]doubt
[Em]I’m notwaiting for the end of the world
I ain’t playing by no [Am] rules
[B7] I’m living my life the wayI want because
This world’s a ship of [Em] fools
[Em]Now everybody heed Townes' words, he was right times running out
You know we ain’t gonna live forever
[B7]believe it, there a'int no doubt
So[Em]cherish every dayyou have,time[Am] goes by so damn fast
En[Em]joy your life the best you can, make [B7]every moment [Em]last
[Em] Excuse meteacherdid I hear you say

Well don’t expect me to live that way
I’m getting wasted, without a [Em]doubt

Okay - here goes ----- I created a song cloud account and ventured out into the unknown - well - actually It isn't unknown because it is known that I can't sing. But I thought I'd put this song out there. At least you can tell what it's supposed to sound like - just imagine someone with a good voice singing it smile
It is my song from this a few months ago when it was warm enough to sit on my porch, instead of looking a day of ice and 14" of snow. - Summer Groovin'

Re: Off to Bed (Little Cowpoke (15 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Jets,
As much as I loved the song, the picture next to it made the song !!! I assume that's Brodie - what a wonderful picture to accompany the song. I'm a cowboy song lover -and with that picture and verse- it's a terrific piece of music, heartwarming in fact. Stirred a lot of memories of singing to my kids when they wer young. I miss it terribly ( prob bc they never criticized my singing) Well done Jets !! Thoroughly enjoyable Thanks for sharing.

you're right on brother - sounds much better - more rockin', without the Capo - thanks for the tip. ( I'm not too great at Barr Chords though - working at 'em) I made a couple small lyric changes on the third line of each verse - it seems to make a smoother transition to the fourth line - remember - it's my first rock song

I can't afford a top end resonator like yours, but i have looking around on the internet at a Gretsch and a Dean. Can you give some advice on what I should look for. I have never even played one, but they cool and would like to maybe give it a go. Thanks
